The church dates from the 12th century onwards. The West end has a blocked medieval arch which may once have led to a tower, or perhaps the tower was planned but never built. The late Norman entrance door with dogtooth ornament may date from around 1200.
There is a western double bell turret.
Most of the windows are 15th century as are the bench ends and the Rood screen and loft. This is probably the most complete example surviving in a Lincolnshire parish church. Many of these screens were removed during the Tudor reformation.
There are the remains of a 13th century Easter Sepulchre in the North wall of the chancel.
The church was sympathetically restored in 1883 by J.L. Pearson, who preserved the Norman tub font and medieval benches, but removed the Georgian box pews and pulpit which was originally medieval.
There are several fine memorials and tombs in the church, and also a brass to William Butler who died at the age of 26 in 1590, and his wife Elizabeth. Between them is the swaddled figure of their only child Priscilla, who died an infant, still in "chrison robe", died 1509.
During this workshop you will have the opportunity to photograph the Goshawks on static display, simulated hunting and the aerial acrobatics. We will be photographing in a natural environment. Our falconer is superb with his birds and really understands what us photographers want to achieve to get natural looking photos.

This game continues to confound and confuse me… I love Marvel and desperately want a comic game, but I generally don’t like live service games and have never gotten into Destiny, The Division, or similarly structured games. I’m in my 40s, and time is a valuable thing to me, so I don’t like games that […]

Exhibition Dates: January 15 – 28, 2021 in the Artlab Gallery and virtually
Every few years, the Artlab Gallery at Western University hosts a Faculty and Staff exhibition. These exhibitions are important opportunities for fostering a sense of community in the Visual Arts Department: students are able to see their instructors and mentors at work, and colleagues have a chance to share in each other's research. 2020 was a year like no other, and so the Artlab is leaning into the present with a collective address to this moment of separate togetherness. "Distance makes the heart grow weak" invites faculty, staff and graduate students to speak to how they've been experiencing the last year. It prompts participants to explore and express how isolation has shifted our focus, our research and art practices, as well as our forms of connecting with one another. The exhibition is also an opportunity for participating artists and researchers to show flexibility (and inherently, optimism) despite the high strangeness we’re all currently experiencing. In this time of shared solitude—unable to walk down halls, knock on studio or office doors, and enjoy quick hellos and impromptu conversations—we'll quote Chris Kraus (quoting Søren Kierkegaard): "art involves reaching through some distance."
Organized by Dickson Bou and Ruth Skinner.
Participants: Cody Barteet; Sarah Bassnett; Dickson Bou with Charlie Egleston & Peter Lebel; Matt W. Brown; Andreas Buchwaldt; Brianne Casey; Jérôme Conquy with Kevin Heslop, Sachiko Murakami, Sile Englert & Ruth Douthwright; Ioana Dragomir; Meghan Edmiston; Soheila Esfahani; Sky Glabush; Anahí González; Philip Gurrey; John Hatch; Tricia Johnson; Iraboty Kazi; Shelley Kopp; Anna Madelska; Patrick Mahon; Jennifer Martin; Linda Meloche; David Merritt; Ana Moyer; Dong-Kyoon Nam; Kim Neudorf; Katie Oates; Sasha Opeiko with Martin Stevens; Michelle Paterok; Kirsty Robertson; Geordie Shepherd; Andrew Silk; Ashley Snook; Christine Sprengler; Michelle Wilson with Bridget Koza,Sophie Wu, & Azadeh Odlins; Jessica Woodward
The promotional graphic for "Distance makes the heart grow weak" cites the short film, "Extraordinary Measures," by Sasha Opeiko and Martin Stevens, featured in the exhibition.
Given Ontario's recent stay-at-home order, the exhibition will be released in a virtual format on Friday, January 15th. Throughout the course of the exhibition, Artlab will publish short video features from participating artists and researchers.
Visit the Artlab Gallery: www.uwo.ca/visarts/artlab/
Due to COVID-19 safety measures, the Artlab Gallery and Cohen Commons will be operating virtually. In-person visits are not permitted at this time. We will be posting exhibition documentation, videos, and virtual walk-throughs on the Artlab’s website.

REBECCA NIEDERLANDER
SLICES
Exhibition Dates: September 14 – October 31, 2007
Opening Reception:
FRIDAY, September 14th, 2007 6 – 10pm
Phantom Galleries LA is pleased to present Slices, a solo exhibition of work by Rebecca Niederlander curated by Liza Simone. The exhibition will run from September 14-October 31, 2007. A reception will be held on Friday, September 14, 6-10 p.m. at 269 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA. This event will be free and open to the public. The exhibition will be open to the public on Saturdays from 11-6 and by appointment.
“Mobiles are sensitive symbols of Nature, of that profligate Nature which squanders pollen while unloosing a flight of a thousand butterflies; of that inscrutable Nature which refuses to reveal to us whether it is a blind succession of causes and effects, or the timid, hesitant, groping development of an idea." --Jean-Paul Sartre, writing about Alexander Calder’s Mobiles, 1946
Rebecca Niederlander’s sculptures have always reflected an interest in the processes of perception and interpretation, and in the discovery of particulars that often go unnoticed in the rush of events. Though early forms often sat solidly grounded, her later work regularly hovers, floats, or hangs suspended above a surface. The most recent Family Tree series originated in an installation featuring a room-sized vellum mobile that she describes as an attempt to reflect on individual's place in the continuum. All elements in A Family Tree are connected, each bit's activity modulated by the activity of the whole. The 6,000+ small, fluttering forms were created using a Japanese paper cutting technique called Kirigami, which westerners know as "making paper snowflakes." After creating that piece, Niederlander began to experiment with wire because of more complex and abstracted forms that medium makes possible. Also fascinating is the relationship between the lines of the wire forms and their alter-ego shadows.
Many suspended sculptures, and mobiles in particular, lack manageability. They start from a place of equilibrium, but from that point on it’s their nature to shift, to become, to reinvent. Their mutability also makes them a kind of dream space into which viewers can enter or onto which they can project their own discoveries and interpretations. The protean qualities mean that their creator can plan only so far in terms of how they will evolve. She must let go and allow them to find their own form. In this way, a mobile can be seen as a placeholder for the experience of living, perhaps in particular for the process of parenting (an identity Niederlander is still acclimating herself to). By the way, many of the pieces were designed to be effective pull-toys!
Rebecca Niederlander received her MFA from UCLA, and her BFA from California College of the Arts (formerly CCAC). She is represented by Carl Berg Gallery 6018 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036: 323 931 6060 www.carlberggallery.com/ carl@carlberggallery.com
Rebecca Niederlander would like to thank The Durfee Foundation for the financial assistance they have provided through an Artists’ Resource for Completion Grant for this exhibition.

Where a person goes can reveal a lot about who they are and how they live. Thousands of people can live in the same city and have drastically different experiences.
GPS maps are a kind of technogeographical self portrait; a way of showing how one has lived during a certain period of time. The methods for taking data can reveal something about a person as well. There is no standard way of taking GPS data. One’s map may differ greatly from another. For the past two years, Aaron Parecki has been carrying a GPS tracker with him at all times, walking, busing, biking, driving and flying. Amber Case has been taking data since January 2010. Together, they have logged over 10 million GPS points. These points have been plotted onto paper, then color-coded by time of day and speed of movement to render beuatiful and thought provoking prints that serve as “geotechnological” self-portraits.
Portland-based PHP developer and GPS enthusiast Aaron Parecki experiments with automatic location check-ins and proximal notification systems. He also began using GPS to control the lights in his house and perform other automated actions.
Amber Case is a Cyborg Anthropologist from Portland, Oregon. She studies the interaction between humans and computers and how our relationship with information is changing the way cultures think, act, and understand their worlds.
Together the two founded Geoloqi.com in an effort to make GPS tracking and advanced co-location protocols available to the general public.
How Can I Do This?
Geoloqi, a GPS tracker app for iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Palm is in constant development. It will allow anyone to take data and make maps like these. If you’d like to beta test or help us develop it, sign up at Geoloqi.com or follow @geoloqi on Twitter.
Geosketching will also be an opening celebration for the upcoming Cyborg Camp Portland 2010 on October 2nd.

Abydos dates back to the dawn of Ancient Egyptian civilisation when it was established as the cult centre of the god of the Netherworld Osiris and the burial site for a number of the earliest kings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abydos,_Egypt
Over the centuries several temples were constructed at the site on the edge of the desert, the Great Osiris Temple being at the heart of the god's cult but little remains of this structure. What visitors come to Abydos to see today are the far more substantial remains of the New Kingdom temples built by Seti I and his son Ramesses II.
Some distance to the north of the Temple of Seti I lies the much smaller temple of his son Ramesses II (who decided to add his own temple in addition to finishing his father's). This is much less well preserved than the main temple, with the walls only standing up to around three metres high, but much of the relief decoration of these lower courses remains, and much of the vivid colouring is beautifully preserved.
The temple is reached by exiting the main temple at the rear where the Osireon sits and turning right, walking a short distance across desert. An armed escort led the way for us, which was also helpful as the low-lying ruins are hidden from view by sand dunes until one is almost upon them.
A caretaker unlocked the gates and left us free to wander inside and enjoy the remaining relief decoration. Many of the scenes are tragically incomplete, with the upper parts (often including the heads of larger figures and further scenes above) missing, but what remains gives a good impression of the former richness of this smaller temple, and the surviving colour is extraordinarily rich. Most of this is concentrated in the sequence of chambers towards the rear of the temple.
Abydos is one of Egypt's most important sites, both historically and artistically and will richly reward the visitor.
This house dates from around 1835. It was originally located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Robert Frost lived here when he was poet in residence at the University of Michigan from 1924-1926.

The tomb dates to the end of the Roman Late Republican period, ca. 40-30 BCE. It is located where the Via Praenestina and Via Labicana leave the city of Rome to the east; in the modern city it makes up part of the Porta Maggiore complex, although it predates the construction of the aqueducts and the Aurelian Walls that created the gate. It is constructed in concrete masonry faced with travertine, on a foundation of volcanic tuff. A Latin inscription identifies the structure as the tomb of Marcus Vergilius Eurysaces, a baker and contractor, almost certainly a freedman (libertus). The full length relief of a man and woman found at the site is reasonably connected with the tomb, and would then represent the baker Eurysaces and his wife, who has been identified as a certain Atistia on the basis of another Latin inscription found at the site.
The model was created for the Mostra Augustea della Romanità in 1937.

Tomo
by Mark Allen
Did you ever daydream when you were 13 years old? If you’re from the planet Earth, then the answer is, undoubtedly, yes. All of us, at some time in early adolescence, entertained highly-dramatized fantasies in the classroom, at night before drifting off to sleep, or wherever else our bored, non-occupied imagination took us. For boys, the subject was probably amazing acts of daring-do. For girls, no doubt romance played a part. But, chances are, those daydreams remained just that. Which is why Zondervan’s Tomo is attractive to me, even as an adult.
Tomo tells the story of a 13-year-old Japanese immigrant who comes to America to live with her grandfather, and gets involved in an extra-dimensional struggle for a sword of great power. As if adapting to life in the U.S. of A. weren’t difficult enough, she has to deal with literal dog-men hopping through a dimensional gateway to do her ill, her constant karate training (grandpa is also her sensei), and the mystery of her grandfather’s pet..., friend..., or, whatever the furry “Tomo” happens to be. Methinks there’s quite the mystery there.
The first volume of Tomo boasts the title “I Was an Eighth-Grade Ninja,” and it’s credited to writers Andrew Simmons and Rob Corley, and artist Ariel Padilla.
Simmons and Corley craft a wish-fulfillment type of story that, besides being perfectly suited for the youngsters, could also be a guilty pleasure for adults.
Padilla’s art has a light-hearted flair for action and drama, while, not surprisingly, having a strong Manga influence.
Everything comes together to form, not a classic work of sequential entertainment, but certainly an enjoyable escape into action, adventure, and even some morality lessons. No doubt, none of us ever truly outgrows the need for those.
Tomo is recommended. Four volumes are available, with four more to come. Fans of Marvel Comics’ X trilogy and DC’s Justice take note: Jim Krueger is the writer of volume two, “My Double-Edged Life”.
On this Thursday, December 26th, 2024, we see Hazzard Range Bulletin Publisher Brittany Romero and Editor/Senior Reporter Omar Grant talking with Hazzard Range County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Sergeant Blake Cooper who is working patrol with the school district on Winter/Christmas break, Blake on his way back to the unit after eating lunch at Law and Order Cafe ask how the move is going. Brittany tells him that “ 120 years of items is more than you think “
The Hazzard Range Bulletin is published once a week and has been owned by Romeros since 1919, but dates back to 1899. The Bulletin has only been going by this name since March of this year, see between 1899 and Feb 2024 it was called The Herald.
One of the few big changes Brittany Romero and her partner Lily did after taking over the paper from Lauretta( Lily's mother ) in the fall of 2023 The first major change was changing the name back to what it was called from 1889 to 1899 when its name was changed by Brittany’s great, great grandfather after he bought Bulletin and Mill newspapers and renamed them the Herald after a city he was from on the East Coast paper. They chose Christmas Week to move from the old location at the corner of Second St and Old Mexico Ave ( NM 308 ) which was its home since 1920. Its new home is in the Back Goat Mining Company Building.
The Back Goat Mining Company Building that they bought in March of this year. It was opened in 1890 as the headquarters for The Back Goat Mining Company. In 1911 the building was sold to Henry Williams who in the winter of 1912 was remodeling it into one of the grandest hotels in the state. Well, the fire and flood of late Feb 1912 dashed his plans, He survived, but most of his family did not.
He sold the building to the county and left the state. The county used it until March 1940, when The Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) finished the new courthouse/county offices, it was then sold and reopened by Oct 1941 only a few short months before the Hazzard Range County and the whole USA entered WW2. The Hotel did great business through the 1940s and 1950s, but with mines closing in the 1950s and Interstate 25 bypassing the county in the mid-1960s the Hotel closed. In the 1970s-1990s Rio Grande Mid Bank leased the first floor and the two other floors were unused. In 2000 the bank was bought up by a chain and a new building was built. It was bought by Billy Tack owner of Tack Properties in 2019, but COVID-19 dashed his hopes to turn it into apartments. ,
After remodeling the first floor Romero’s next step is remodeling the next two floors into apartments so maybe Bill’s plan will come true after all, but 4 apartments will add more issues to the limited downtown parking that has plagued downtown Sparta ever since the arrival of automobiles
One of the other changes Romero’s made was buying KRTK radio buying KRTK radio off of G.D. Enterprise in Jan of this year that move happens in March 2025, but luckily it’s right next door so the move won’t be as far.
G.D. Enterprise is owned by George Dallas “G.D. “ Born in 1941 to the late Thomas and Mary Dallas. He took over as president of Dallas Land Company in 1966 age 25, after his father died in a car crash. In 1967 G.D changed the name of the company to G.D. Enterprises. G.D. Enterprises owns many properties and businesses in the county He was elected to the Hazzard Range County Commission in 1990 and reelected 7 more times before not seeking re-election in 2022, He is married to his wife Lucy of 53 years ( married 1971 ) they have three kids Katy was born in 1972, Charlie 1976 -2000 and Clint was Born in 1988 he is a Deputy sheriff and was promoted to Investigator in Sept 2023.
Katy Dallas is the Manager of KRTK Radio. Charlie lost his battle with drug addiction in 2000
On this Thursday, December 26th, 2024, we see Hazzard Range Bulletin Publisher Brittany Romero and Editor/Senior Reporter Omar Grant talking with Hazzard Range County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Sergeant Blake Cooper who is working patrol with the school district on Winter/Christmas break, Blake on his way back to the unit after eating lunch at Law and Order Cafe ask how the move is going. Brittany tells him that “ 120 years of items is more than you think “ at the old location on the corner of Second St and Old Mexico Ave ( NM 308 ) which was its home since 1920. Its new home is in the Back Goat Mining Company Building.
The scene takes place in Sparta; the county seat. Law and Order Cafe is owned by retired Sheriff’s Lieutenant Joe Young ( 1973 to 2001 ) and his wife retired County Probate Judge Nancy ( 2002 to 2006 )

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard
224 Western Ave, Allston, MA 02134
This show is built from a fascination with glazes and ceramic materials. During my residency at the Ceramics Program - Office for the Arts at Harvard, I’ve been researching and testing materials and procedures to take a fresh look at how we approach contemporary clay.
The process that I developed for this work has me hand-printing vessels and balloons the time to produce a single vase out to 40-plus hours. In that time-frame, I make thousands of decisions about where the profile is heading. Each drop is a waypoint in the design of the object. There is no inside surface vs. outside surface, there is only the object and the space it contains. It’s a really beautiful process. It’s layered with the irony of an American studio artist hand-replicating a 3-d printing process; making work representative of blue and white ware. There’s a lot of good questions in there.Colby Charpentier
Knowing that the material itself is a glass that was formulated to devitrify and be ceramic when fired— is important to understanding this work as a veil of glaze. This process is driven by the research questions: What if we took clay out of the vessel and glaze was all that remained? And what does it mean to replicate a 3-D printing process by hand? The result is ceramic: glass, devitrified.

This little spot on Oregon's Still Creek was one of the better scenes i shot. The rest of the area looked either browned with heavy recent rains or still much too green. I think there's more color to come though...we shall see.
I logged 210 miles yesterday to check out the Fall colors knowing that peak color is more than likely 1-2 weeks out and i think that's a fair assumption. I haven't seen one single shot of the Gorge with Fall color and that not a good sign.
I plan on heading into the Gorge in two weeks to shoot and am hoping the conditions are just like they are today: high over-cast with no wind....could i be so lucky?
If anyone has paid a visit to the Columbia River Gorge the last couple days let me know what you saw. Thanks!!!
This car dates from 1961 and was sold in Wolverhampton, England.
It came into the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust ownership in 1991. It was refurbished into its original colour of Mountain Blue.- the interior was changed to red from its original grey.
Daimler conceived this sports car with the American market in mind. It was a departure from every Daimler practice at the time.
Launched at the New York Motor Show in 1959 it was originally called the Daimler Dart - until Chrysler protested that they owned the 'Dart' name and Daimler was obliged to change it to the SP 250.
Sadly, no sooner had Daimler introduced it to the American market when it went into recession and projected / hoped for sales never materialised.
There were numerous quality build problems most notably with the body. When Jaguar bought Daimler in 1960 these were only partly addressed.
In total only 2654 cars were ever made and it was withdrawn from the market in 1964.
Now on display at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire. England. (In the Collections Centre).

It's always nice to have some 'dates' at office...
Thanks to my colleague Abdullah, he brought this from Al-Hasa
Marmore Falls,Umbria (Italy)
Marmore is a little town in centre of Italy knows for its natural beautifulnes made by the famous falls.
The Waterfalls making dates back to 271 B.C., it is an amazing Roman engineering masterpiece used to help the flowing of the river Velino waters which caused many painful floods and had transformed vaste territories into unhealthy marshes. In the following ages till the Renaissance further works of improvement were made until they reached the present shape.
The large disposal of water welcomed the creation of many industrial sites in the area.
The Falls area is made of travertine drifts, a naturally friable, non-compact rock which, thanks to the intense circulation of the waters, allowed the creation of caves and karst phenomena.
The main cavities are enclosed into three separated complexes, both for the speleological interest and the beauty of the environment: the first one is made up of “la Grotta della Morta” (the Dead’s Cave) and “la Grotta dei Diaclasi”, (the Diaclases Cave). It has a plan of 287 m. and a maximum depth of 23 m. The second one contains “La Grotta delle Colonne”, (the Columns Cave) developed into two major non-communicating diaclases due to further landslides. The last one, over 190 m. wide “La Grotta della Condotta” , (The Piping Cave) partly sliding, crossed by an old piping. All along the watercourse the vegetation is luxuriant.
The territory has specimens of willow trees, alders and holm-oaks (ilexes).
The Aleppo Pine often takes roots in the calcareous projections of the slopes. While the hills are covered with holm-oaks, oaks, maples and beeches.
A visit to the Botanic Garden located inside the Regional River Nera Park (2120 hectares) allows to see the different vegetable species living in the area.
There is also a rich water fauna. Many species of birds live in the woods such as the mountain swallow and the redstart(redtail). Among the birds of prey the harrier eagle and the kestrel stand out.
This is Minterne House. It only dates from the early 1900s as the previous house on this site was demolished around 1900.
Was home of the Churchill family, later members of the Digby family.
Until the dissolution of the monastaries, Minterne was the Manor of the Abbey.
After 1539 it was given to Winchester College.
Winchester College rented it to the first Sir Winston Churchill, who left it to his son General Charles Churchill.
Admiral Robert Digby purchased the land in 1768.
The original Churchill House was demolished in 1900 because it had dry rot.
Flooded path - few days after that heavy rain in the area.

The construction of the Nottebohm Castle dates back to the early 20th century. This house with singular and eccentric architecture belonged to a certain Mr. Nottebohm. Some rumors say that the rich Nottebohm family lived in this Belgian mansion but left it during the Second World War, leaving the place to die.
Today, although this castle attracts the curiosity of many urban explorers, the interior is totally ransacked and the access to the floors has become impossible. As we can see on some archive postcards, the building was once equipped with a cupola that is now collapsed.
Ransom Riggs, the author of the novel « Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children » adapted to the screen by Tim Burton in 2016, made a documented report about this place, probably looking for a potential location for the movie. Against all rumors, the shooting of the film was not done in this castle but in another large house – not ransacked nor abandoned – in the same region of Belgium. It was probably a better alternative found by the production, given the state of this site.

La construction du Château Nottebohm remonte au début du XXe siècle. Cette demeure à l’architecture pour le moins singulière et excentrique appartenait à un certain monsieur Nottebohm. Certaines rumeurs disent que la riche famille Nottebohm vivait dans ce manoir belge mais la quitta pendant la seconde Guerre Mondiale, laissant le lieu dépérir.
Aujourd’hui, bien que ce château suscite la curiosité de bien des urbexeurs, l’intérieur est totalement délabré et l’accès aux étages est devenu impossible. Comme nous pouvons le voir sur certaines cartes postales d’archive, le bâtiment était autrefois muni d’une coupole, aujourd’hui détruite.
Ransom Riggs, l’auteur du roman « Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children » adapté au cinéma par Tim Burton en 2016, y a fait un repérage documenté probablement dans l’optique du tournage. Contre toute rumeur véhiculée sur le net, le tournage du film ne s’est pas fait dans ce château mais dans une autre grande demeure – non délabrée ni abandonnée celle-là – dans la même région, en Belgique. Probablement une meilleure alternative trouvée par la production, vu l’état de ce site.

Bob Dylan (1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than fifty years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when songs such as 'Blowin' in the Wind' (1963) and 'The Times They Are a-Changin'' (1964) became anthems for the civil rights movement and anti-war movement. His lyrics during this period incorporated a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defied pop-music conventions, and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture. Bob Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota. Dylan's father, Abram Zimmerman - who was an electric-appliance shop owner according to Wikipedia or worked for the Standard Oil Co. (IMDb) - and mother, Beatrice 'Beatty' Stone. He has a brother named David Zimmerman. The family was part of a small, close-knit Jewish community. They lived in Duluth until Dylan was six when his father had polio. The family returned to his mother's hometown, Hibbing, often called the coldest place in the US. There they lived for the rest of Dylan's childhood and Bob taught himself piano and guitar. In his early years he listened to the radio—first to blues and country stations from Shreveport, Louisiana, and later, when he was a teenager, to rock and roll. Dylan formed several bands while attending Hibbing High School. In the Golden Chords, he performed covers of songs by Little Richard and Elvis Presley. In 1959, Dylan moved to Minneapolis and enrolled at the University of Minnesota. His focus on rock and roll gave way to American folk music. Dylan began to perform at the Ten O'Clock Scholar, a coffeehouse a few blocks from campus and became involved in the Dinkytown folk music circuit. In 1961, he travelled to New York City to perform there and visit his musical hero Woody Guthrie, who was ill and in hospital. In clubs around Greenwich Village, he befriended folk singers and picked up material from them. Producer John Hammond signed Dylan to Columbia Records. His debut album 'Bob Dylan' (1962) mainly comprised traditional folk songs. The following year, Dylan made his breakthrough as a singer-songwriter with the release of 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' (1963). The album featured 'Blowin' in the Wind' and the thematically complex 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall'. For many of these songs, he adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs. He went on to release the politically charged 'The Times They Are a-Changin'' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' (1964). In the following years, Dylan toured with singer Joan Baez and encountered controversy when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation. In the space of 15 months, he recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: 'Bringing It All Back Home' (1965), 'Highway 61 Revisited' (1965) and 'Blonde on Blonde' (1966). The six-minute single 'Like a Rolling Stone' (1965), peaked at number two in the U.S. chart. Magazine Rolling Stone: "No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all time."
In July 1966, Bob Dylan withdrew from touring after being injured in a motorcycle accident. Dylan later in his autobiography: "I had been in a motorcycle accident and I'd been hurt, but I recovered. Truth was that I wanted to get out of the rat race." Dylan withdrew from public and, apart from a few appearances, did not tour again for almost eight years. Once Dylan was well enough to resume creative work, he began to edit D. A. Pennebaker's film of his 1966 tour. A rough cut was shown to ABC Television, which rejected it as incomprehensible to a mainstream audience. The film was subsequently titled Eat the Document on bootleg copies, and it has been screened at a handful of film festivals. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of The Band, who had previously backed him on tour. These recordings were released as the collaborative album 'The Basement Tapes' in 1975. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in 'John Wesley Harding' (1967), 'Nashville Skyline' (1969), and 'New Morning' (1970). Critics charged that Dylan's output was varied and unpredictable. In 1972, Dylan worked on Sam Peckinpah's film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, providing songs and backing music and playing Alias, a member of Billy's gang with some historical basis. Despite the film's failure at the box office, the song 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' became one of Dylan's most covered songs. In 1975, he released 'Blood on the Tracks', which many saw as a return to form. Dylan wrote a ballad championing boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, imprisoned for a triple murder in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966. After visiting Carter in jail, Dylan wrote 'Hurricane', presenting the case for Carter's innocence. Despite its length—over eight minutes—the song was released as a single, peaking at 33 on the U.S. Billboard chart, and performed at every 1975 date of Dylan's tour, the Rolling Thunder Revue. The 1975 tour with the Revue provided the backdrop to Dylan's nearly four-hour film Renaldo and Clara (1978), a sprawling narrative mixed with concert footage and reminiscences. After poor reviews, a two-hour edit, dominated by the concert performances, was more widely released. In November 1976, Dylan appeared at the Band's 'farewell' concert. Martin Scorsese's cinematic chronicle, The Last Waltz (1978), included about half of Dylan's set. In the late 1970s, Bob Dylan became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s. In 1985 Dylan sang on USA for Africa's famine relief single 'We Are the World.' He also joined Artists United Against Apartheid providing vocals for their single 'Sun City'. In 1987, Dylan starred in the film Hearts of Fire (Richard Marquand, 1987), in which he played Billy Parker, a washed-up rock star turned chicken farmer whose teenage lover (Fiona) leaves him for a jaded English synth-pop sensation played by Rupert Everett. Dylan also contributed two original songs to the soundtrack—'Night After Night', and 'I Had a Dream About You, Baby', as well as a cover of John Hiatt's 'The Usual.' The film was a critical and commercial flop. The major works of his later career include 'Time Out of Mind' (1997), 'Love and Theft' (2001), 'Modern Times' (2006) and 'Tempest' (2012). In 2001, Dylan won his first Oscar when his song 'Things Have Changed', written for the film Wonder Boys, won an Academy Award. His most recent recordings have comprised versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour.
The cover of Dylan's album Self Portrait (1970) is a reproduction of a painting of a face by Dylan. Another of his paintings is reproduced on the cover of the 1974 album Planet Waves. In 1994 Random House published 'Drawn Blank', a book of Dylan's drawings. Since 1994, Bob Dylan has published eight books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. In 2007, the first public exhibition of Dylan's paintings, The Drawn Blank Series, opened at the Kunstsammlungen in Chemnitz, Germany. It showcased more than 200 watercolours and gouaches made from the original drawings. The exhibition coincided with the publication of Bob Dylan: The Drawn Blank Series, which includes 170 reproductions from the series. From September 2010 until April 2011, the National Gallery of Denmark exhibited 40 large-scale acrylic paintings by Dylan, The Brazil Series. In 2004, Dylan published the first part of his autobiography, 'Chronicles: Volume One'. The book reached number two on The New York Times' Hardcover Non-Fiction best seller list in December 2004 and was nominated for a National Book Award. No Direction Home, Martin Scorsese's acclaimed film biography of Dylan was first broadcast in 2005. The documentary focuses on the period from Dylan's arrival in New York in 1961 to his motorcycle crash in 1966, featuring interviews with Suze Rotolo, Liam Clancy, Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Mavis Staples, and Dylan himself. Dylan's career as a radio presenter commenced in 2006, with his weekly radio program, 'Theme Time Radio Hour' for XM Satellite Radio, with song selections revolving around chosen themes. In 2007, the award-winning film biography of Dylan I'm Not There, written and directed by Todd Haynes, was released. The film used six different actors to represent different aspects of Dylan's life: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Ben Whishaw. The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power." In 2012, U.S. President Barack Obama awarded Dylan a Presidential Medal of Freedom in the White House. At the ceremony, Obama praised Dylan's voice for its "unique gravelly power that redefined not just what music sounded like but the message it carried and how it made people feel". In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." Last year, Netflix released the movie Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019), describing the film as "Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream". Bob Dylan had romantic relationships with artist Suze Rotolo and singer Joan Baez. He was married twice. In 1965 he married model and secretary Sara Lownds, with whom he had four children,, Jesse Byron Dylan (1966), Anna Lea (1967), Samuel Isaac Abram (1968), and Jakob Luke (1969). Jakob became well known as the lead singer of the band the Wallflowers in the 1990s. Dylan also adopted Sara's daughter from a prior marriage, Maria Lownds (later Dylan, 1961). Bob and Sara Dylan were divorced in 1977. Dylan married his backup singer Carolyn Dennis in 1986. Their daughter Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan was born in 1986. The couple divorced in 1992. Their marriage and child remained a closely guarded secret until the publication of Howard Sounes' biography 'Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan' (2001). When not touring, Dylan is believed to live primarily in Point Dume, a promontory on the coast of Malibu, California, though he also owns property around the world.

TRAKAI ISLAND CASTLE
It dates from the 14th century and was one of the main centers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, hence the castle held great strategic importance.
Also got to try the Kibinaí (traditional Lithuanian pastries) and a nice hot chocolate at the Chocolate Museum 😉.
