Gight is an estate in the parish of Fyvie in the Formartine area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is best known as the location of the 16th-century Gight (or Formartine) Castle, ancestral home of Lord Byron. Gight Castle is about 4 miles (6.4 km) miles east of Fyvie, just north of the River Ythan, and 1 mile (1.6 km) mile south of Cottown. The castle was built to an L-shaped plan, probably in the 1570s by George Gordon, the second laird. Ranges of outbuildings were built later. The tower has a vaulted basement, and a turnpike stair at the end of a long passage. There was a hall on the first floor. George Gordon had no children, and the property passed to his brother, James Gordon of Cairnbannoch and Gight. His son Alexander married Agnes Beaton, daughter of David Beaton, Archbishop of St Andrews. Alexander was killed at Dundee in 1579, and his daughter Elizabeth married George Home, 1st Earl of Dunbar in 1590. It was later occupied by Catherine Gordon Byron, the mother of Lord Byron, but she sold it in 1787 to George Gordon, 3rd Earl of Aberdeen to pay off her debts. It was then occupied by the Earl's son, George Gordon, Lord Haddo, until the latter's early death in 1791, since when it has been uninhabited. It was designated a scheduled monument in 1965. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gight

We owe her, in all the way of life.
From the very beginning to even after the end of our journey, it's impossible to pay her debt.
Which is just because she is a Mother.
Debt trap. Sounds almost like a death trap. It’s a bottomless hole, which you can fall into for the rest of your life
Tom Fruin’s Stained Glass House currently on display just adjacent Jane’s Carousel by Brooklyn side tower of the Brooklyn Bridge until June of this year 2015. It was located here as part of the DUMBO Arts Festival in the fall of 2014 a collaborative project with CoreAct called Reflection/Kolonihavehus [dumboartsfestival.com/art/reflection_kolonihavehus/]. Tom Fruin’s Kolonihavehus as this work is called, made its debt in front of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen a few years back and actually was shown in many locations in Europe, Sweden, Denmark, Austria and the Czech Republic before its engagement here in New York City. It’s a 12’ x 12’ x 14’ structure made out of hand-welded iron and more than 30 individual panels of reclaimed plexiglass that is very portable. It is lit up at night and during the day wonderful reflects light it current wide open space.

Reichburg Castle, Cochem, Germany.
The original Cochem Castle, perched prominently on a hill 300 feet above the Moselle River, served to collect tolls from passing ships. Modern research dates its origins to around 1100. (An alleged 1051 document mentioning the castle turned out to be a 13th century forgery.)
Before its destruction by the French in 1689 (a fate shared by many other castles and towns in the Palatinate), the castle had a long and fascinating history. It changed hands numerous times and, like most castles, also changed its form over the centuries. It was even in hock twice to pay off royal debts!
In 1151 King Konrad III ended a dispute over who should inherit Cochem Castle by laying siege to it and taking possession of it himself. That same year it became an official Imperial Castle (Reichsburg) subject to imperial authority.

Brodsworth Hall, near Brodsworth, 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, is one of the most complete surviving examples of a Victorian country house in England. It is virtually unchanged since the 1860s. It was designed in the Italianate style by the obscure London architect, Philip Wilkinson, then 26 years old. He was commissioned by Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson, who inherited the estate in 1859, but the original estate was constructed in 1791 for merchant and slave owner Peter Thellusson. It is a Grade I listed building
George Hay, 8th Earl of Kinnoull, bought the Brodsworth estate from Sir John Wentworth in 1713 and rebuilt the house in the Georgian style, but lost his money in the South Sea Bubble crash of 1720 and was obliged to take the position of Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. His second son Robert, later Archbishop of York, took up residence on the estate instead and made a number of improvements to the house and grounds. On his death in 1777, the house was left empty, and, after his eldest son became the 10th Earl of Kinnoull in 1787, he sold the estate in 1790 to Peter Thellusson (1737–1797) of the Swiss banking family.
Peter Thellusson had come from Geneva and settled in England, becoming a director of the Bank of England. This role saw him provide loans to slave ship and plantation owners. As these slave owners defaulted on debts, Thellusson amassed interests in Caribbean plantations and became a tobacco and sugar importer. He wrote an unusual will, unsuccessfully challenged by his family in the Thellusson Will Case, whereby his fortune was put in trust to be untouched for three generations. Peter Thellusson's grandson Arthur Thellusson, married the daughter of another Antigua slave owner, Sir Christopher Bethell-Codrington. The Thellussons were slave owners in Grenada and Montserrat as late as 1820.
One of the two eventual beneficiaries was the 5th Baron Rendlesham. The other was Peter's great-grandson Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson who, in 1859, inherited half the bequest plus the Brodsworth estate with its Georgian house. He demolished the existing house and commissioned the present one, which was built in two years between 1861 and 1863. A keen yachtsman, he also commissioned four yachts, the last two being, successively, the largest in the world. He was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1866–1867. He and his wife Georgiana left four sons, all of whom died childless, and the house therefore passed to each son in turn. The third son, Charles Thellusson, leased the mineral rights to the Brodsworth Colliery Company and also rented them the land for the construction of Woodlands model village to accommodate the miners. In addition he paid for the construction of All Saints Church (1913) for the village. He was also responsible for the introduction of electric light to the hall.
After the First World War, spiralling costs resulted in the owners closing off parts of the house. On the death of the youngest son, Augustus Thellusson, in 1931, the house passed to his nephew, Captain Charles Grant-Dalton (1882–1952). He was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1942–1943.
The last resident of the house was Sylvia Grant-Dalton (wife of Captain Grant-Dalton), who fought a losing battle for 57 years against leaking roofs on the mansion and land subsidence from nearby coal mining. After her death in 1988, Her daughter, Pamela Williams, gave the Hall and gardens to English Heritage in 1990. The contents of the house were purchased by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and transferred to the ownership of English Heritage. It was decided to conserve the interiors "as found" rather than replacing or restoring them. They demonstrate how a once opulent Victorian house grew "comfortably" old.
Designed in the Italianate style by Philip Wilkinson, the Hall is constructed in ashlar limestone, some quarried on the estate, with lead and slate roofs. Stonework, windows and interior fittings were reused from the older building. The building is "T" shaped with the servants quarters forming the upright. The main block, forming the cross-bar, is 2-storey rectangular range having 9-bay frontage. The house has more than 30 rooms, ranging from grand reception rooms with original furnishings to the servants' quarters. The house is surrounded by Victorian period gardens, which are used for special events throughout the summer.
The house is noted for Charles Sabine Thellusson's collection of paintings and sculptures, including a large collection of Italian sculptures bought at the Dublin International Exhibition of 1865.
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

LOL.....actually my best friend Derek noticed this, but I took a picture too. We thought the life preserver was a cool metaphor with the casino visible behind it. The casino is across the Detroit River in Windsor, Canada. There was also a great gloomy sky here that turned out to be nice later on.
Its been a funny weekend for deciding what to wear because the weather has been so changeable.
This was yesterdays outfit. A high low number something like the white dress I wore Friday.
Yesterday was a really strange day having Jamie doing the gardening. I did get to repay the debt Later on when I checked the oil and water on his car, realigned his drivers door and had a go at fixing his heater control on the old Peugeot he drives, That must have looked rather odd to the passers by, One did say something and Jamie replied "she always fixes my car" The passer by continued passing by.
Broken Hill has long been known as a ‘mecca’ for visual artists such as Jack Absalom and the late Pro Hart. More recently the Broken Hill Art Exchange has partnered with local businesses to sponsor the Urban Mural Project. As a result there is now a rich and varied collection of works by notable street artists painted on the exterior walls of buildings throughout the city. This mural on the side of the Sufi and Islamic Study Centre was completed in early 2017 by Brooklyn based Australian graffiti artist Damian Mitchell.
It is an homage to the Australian Aborigine, the “Afghan” cameleer and The Ghan, the fabled transcontinental passenger train that operates between Adelaide and Darwin. It is fitting that the mural should adorn the side of an Islamic centre. The cameleers came from areas now occupied by Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, northern India, and Afghanistan. They were collectively referred to as “Afghans” and most if not all of them were Muslims.
They and their camel trains worked in outback Australia from the 1860s to the 1920s and played an indispensable role in opening up central Australia. Without them the development of the outback would have been difficult if not impossible. Their services were crucial to the building of railways and other infrastructure including the Overland Telegraph Line linking Adelaide to Darwin--and thus to London and the rest of the world. They also supplied mines and pastoral leases with goods and services in vast expanses of the country that were unsuited to the use of horses as pack animals. The country owes these cameleers an immense debt, one of which most contemporary Australians are, at best, only dimly aware.
It is a sad irony that the cameleers and Aborigines had two things in common--their unequalled ability to survive in the harsh desert environment and the appalling racial discrimination meted out to them by white Australians.
* Disclosure Statement: In processing this image I have exercised a degree of artistic licence by introducing some motion blur to the train and, more significantly, by taking a sign in Arabic script from the front of the building and resizing it to form an inscription on the footpath in front of the mural. In Arabic the inscription reads Bismillah ar Rahman ar Raheem (In the name of God most merciful, most compassionate).
