This was the first time I loaded the paper at the back of the camera instead of the wider setting half way down. I didn't really know what the difference would be in actuality and had hoped this would somehow capture more or less the whole door(!). I was trying to capture the shadows playing in the last light of the day.
But I think what I actually learnt most from this shot, after initial disappointment in the composition, is the camera's capacity to render textures so vividly. I think she will handle still life very well once I've mastered how to really handle the light. The level of detail in here is more than I ever hoped I could achieve, though the pinhole itself was created with this focal length in mind.
The Norcon Pillbox was made from a concrete pipe 6ft in diameter and 4ft high, the walls were 4in of non-reinforced concrete with several cut Loopholes, the pipe would be sunk into the ground over a pit that would provide a total of 6ft headroom.
The standard model had a roof made of timber, corrugated iron, and earth. Some installations were fitted with a concrete roof/dome, others had no roof at all. The walls were given extra protection by a layer of sandbags, the exit may be via an open roof, through a hatch in the roof or through a low entrance cut into the pipe to a slit trench.
Norcon was not the only company to design a defence made from pipes. A similar design was the Croft Pillbox developed by the Croft Granite, Brick and Concrete Company. However, the Norcon Pillbox was by far the most common and gave its name to the general type.
Norcon Ltd was a small company specialising in the manufacture of large spun concrete pipes. In 1938, they were looking for new ways to market their products, the company experimented with producing Air Raid Shelters. Although this venture does not appear to have been very successful, at least one very small and cramped Norcon Shelter has recently been found.
In July 1940, as Norcon Pillboxes were being installed, one officer raised concerns after one pipe section had broken while being rolled into position and an installed Norcon Pillbox had not stood up well to a concentrated burst of machine gun fire. Concerns of these sorts had understandably led to the Norcon Pillbox being regarded as ''possibly the most dangerous, cheap and nasty of all the Pillbox designs'' certainly it cannot have offered the protection equivalent to a conventional reinforced concrete Pillbox, but according to the Chief Engineer of Eastern Command ''it would appear to be considerably better than many sandbag emplacements under construction.''
The pipe was made from a high ''alumina fondue'' cement which set quickly, making it possible to turn out about 20 units a day, also, the fondue cement cured quickly reaching a strength in 24hrs for which Portland cement required 28 days to set. Although relatively few were actually built, Norcon Pillboxes were found all over the United Kingdom, from southwest England to the Orkney Islands. The holding company Bowmaker purchased a controlling interest in Norcon Limited in 1943 and Norcon managed to show a profit, the company prospered after the end of hostilities.

Almost a mile in diameter, Arizona's Barringer Meteor Crater is apparently the most complete example of a meteor crater anywhere. We had previously visited here in 2008, but decided to return again this year with children in tow.
Only a few miles from I-40, visiting the crater is curiously billed as somewhere between both a novelty roadside attraction and a serious museum. We didn't participate in a 45 minute guide tour this time, but including time for a drink and the obligatory gift shop visit, were here for around 2 hours.
The Barringer Meteor Crater is certainly an interesting sight, but whether the $98 entrance fee for a family of 4 is good value will be down to individual choice - especially when considering the pretty inevitable purchase of refreshments or gift shop items on top.
To my mind, this does not compare well with the many natural wonders of the area which can be visited for free, or the excellent value of an $80 annual pass valid in all US National Parks.

THE POWER OF PLANTS
If it weren't for plants, animals could not live. This is true even in the Arctic where plants capture enough of the sun's energy to survive and provide for animal life. When the brief summer comes to the Arctic, herds of caribou trek across the tundra seeking out the leaves and tender shoots of plants, including the Arctic willow. Meat eaters, in turn, prey on the caribou.
Although the arctic willow appears stunted and cowering, it is a success. Like other arctic plants it is well adapted to its demanding world. Arctic plants grow low and close to the ground to evade cold dry winds. Their root systems are shallow and broad, spread out above an impenetrable barrier of permafrost which, even in summer, is not far below the sun-warmed soil surface. Small hairy leaves do not easily give up moisture to the harsh touch of bitter winds.
ARCTIC ANIMALS
The polar bear, arctic fox, ermine and arctic ptarmigan all exhibit adaptations for survival in the arctic, both in structure and in behavior. Short, thick legs are easier to keep warm than long thin ones. Under abundant, fluffy feathers or thick fur, is the additional insulation of a layer of fat to insulate the animal from the elements. Ptarmigan have feathered toes which act as "snow shoes" to permit easy travel over snow.
These feathers are molted in spring when snow begins to melt. Caribou hooves are splayed, permitting buoyancy over the spongy tundra. The ermine and the ptarmigan change color according to the season; white in winter and tundra brown in summer, thus hiding themselves from predators.
Many plant-eating animals of the arctic migrate. Sparse vegetation means scarce food which prompts migration to new pastures.
PEOPLE OF THE ARCTIC
"Eskimo" means "raw-fish-eater", but they call themselves "Inuit", The People. The Inuit inhabit the largest territory of any present-day hunting people, yet they number only around 50,000. The ingenious and highly specialized technology and social organization of the Inuit have allowed them to survive in one of the harshest environments on earth.
Inuit life changes with the seasons. The long arctic winter can begin by mid-October. Migrating herd animals move inland. Inuit families depend on dried or smoked fish and meat gathered in the summer and on fresh seal meat. In summer, between May and September, Inuit hunt the returning caribou, or take to open waters in search of whale or walrus. They fish, snare birds, gather eggs and berries, and trap small animals. The animals provide not only food, but skins for clothing, tents, and boats. Bones are used for tools, fat provides oil for lamps, and ivory and bone are carved into images of gods and spirits.
ESKIMO CLOTHES
Eskimo clothing is from urine-tanned skins. Seal skin is used in summer and caribou in winter. An Eskimo outfit consists of a hooded, pull-over parka, pants, boots and mittens. Winter attire is two-layered with the hair of the inner coat turned inward for added warmth and insulation. The woman's parka is made extra large for carrying a baby, and has flaps along the bottom edge in front and back. The parkas of men and children are cut straight across the bottom and extend to the knees.
Men's pants are two types: loose and knee length in winter, and virtually waterproof ankle length summer wear. Women's pants vary in length among different groups, with boot height corresponding to length of pants.
Summer boots are made of softened sealskin with an overlapping double seam that is waterproof. Winter boots are made of caribou with thick sealskin soles. Mittens are usually of sealskin.
Women cut skins into segments of clothing with a curved knife, the "ulu" or woman's knife. The pieces are sewn together with sinew thread and a bone needle. The stitching is so fine that seams are almost invisible.
BUILDING A SNOW HOUSE
In winter the Inuit of the high arctic in central Canada live in snow houses called "igloos." An igloo is a dome of snow from ten to twelve feet high, and from twelve to fifteen feet in diameter. It takes two men about three hours to make a snow house, which usually will serve two families. Smaller one or two person igloos are constructed while traveling or in emergencies.
Snow blocks are cut from fresh, wind-blown snowdrifts with a walrus ivory knife. The blocks are placed end to end in a circle and inclined inward to form a gradually narrowing spiral. The last blocks are fitted into place from the outside. One man, standing on a block of snow, supports the converging blocks with his head, while another snugly fits the key blocks into place. The entrance is a low tunnel or archway, often constructed at an angle to cut down drafts. A block of clear ice fitted above the entrance serves as a window and light source.

Butterfly cane in 104. It came out rather neat and clean, but these colours are very prone to cracking and incompatability issues particularly when encased heavily in the clear... even with the odd cracky-time, once pulled down to smaller bead sized diameter and annealled even in the final rod before slicing up, it will be fine.

St. George Reef Lighthouse is situated on a 300 foot diameter rock 6 miles off-shore in Northern California near Crescent City.
The light was first illuminated on October 20, 1892. It stands 144 feet (44 m) above the waterline. The first complete survey of the rock was done in 1882, and construction began in 1883, with the blasting of the rock into a stepped pyramid to form the core that anchored the caisson to the rock. Construction was erratic for several years due to lack of funds allotted by Congress. Work was finally completed in 1891, but the lighthouse awaited arrival of its lens from France until the following year. When the light finally became operational in 1892, the total construction expense came to $752,000- making it the most expensive lighthouse ever built in the US and more than double the initial estimate.
Duty at St. George Reef was among the most difficult of any station, due to its remote location and being surrounded by unpredictable, treacherous seas. Several people died during its construction and operation, dozens resigned or sought transfer, and a few even suffered mental breakdowns. Supplies came by launch and the entire boat was hooked on the large boom and lifted to a boat deck at the base of the caisson. Storms routinely crested over the top deck of the caisson, and in 1952 storm waves even broke the windows in the lantern room 150 feet (46 m) above sea level with seawater streaming down the tower's staircase.

**Good**
1. Aluminum rigidity, flexibility, strength at 19mm diameter. 25mm diameter might be better. Moderate Flexibility is good
2. One person operation
3. Thrust is good underwater
4. Faster setup
5. Stability is good
**Bad**
1. One engine did not go!
2. The camera needs to be deeper and blacked out
3. The camera and brain needs to be cooled
4. In reverse cables get wet(short circuit)
5. Better, faster attachments for tubes
6. Better attachments for tubes, rudders, to stay vertical
7. Set tubes further apart for more stability

15 feet in diameter and 124 feet long. General Grant Grove, Kings Canyon National Park, California (June 26, 2009)
This tree fell centuries ago. Photos taken of the Fallen Monarch in the late 1800s show the log has decayed very little in more than 100 years. The tree was probably hollowed by fire long before it fell and died.
The Fallen Monarch has served many uses. The Gamlin brothers stayed inside while they built their cabin. For 2 summers before, it served them as a hotel and saloon. The U.S. Cavalry used it to temporarily stable their 32 horses. The hole in the roof was made so a long chimney could vent cooking smoke.

According to Qauntum FFF Theory, Hyperion is a former Comet, left alone by its giant but single central Static Electric Energy Point source (called electric Dark Matter Black Hole : DMBH). Comet 67P C-G however is assumed to harbour TWO main energy point sourcres (DMBHs) surrounded by several smaller energy point sources. As a result, the all over measurements and the dust exchaust Funnel diameters, show large differences. (DMBHs are supposed to violate the 2e law of thermodynamics)

The dome has an internal height of 60 m and 39 m in diameter and its cross, the highest point in Montreal, reaches 300 m above sea level3. In the oratory gardens, you can follow a life-size Stations of the Cross, inaugurated in 19514, populated with sculptures representing the Passion of Christ.
Inaugurated in 1904 on the initiative of Brother André5, work on the entire place was completed in 19673. In 2004, the Oratory celebrated the 100th anniversary of Brother André's initial chapel.
The whole thing dominates the city with its imposing silhouette. The dome can be seen from several places in the city and even from off the island of Montreal. It is the third largest oratory in the world after those of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix basilica in Yamoussoukro and Saint Peter's basilica in Rome.
It is the most important place of pilgrimage dedicated to Saint Joseph throughout the world. It attracts around two million visitors every year, from all parts of the world. It is also the largest church in Canada.
The oratory was recognized as a national historic site of Canada on May 3, 20041. It was designated a national shrine by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, like only a handful of other sites.
Historical
The chapel of Brother André[
Detailed article: Brother André (religious).
As early as 1900, Brother André entertained the project of erecting a chapel (an oratory) and thus creating a small sanctuary dedicated to Saint Joseph on Mount Royal, opposite the Notre-Dame college where he worked6.
The popularity of Brother André and the growing influx of sick people encouraged the Congregation of the Holy Cross to authorize the construction of the chapel. The management of the college and the Archbishop of Montreal, Paul Bruchési, specify, however, that the costs incurred will be the responsibility of the applicants.
Brother André places a small bowl to collect donations from visitors. Soon, the land on Mount Royal was acquired for $10,000. Thanks to donations offered spontaneously, in money or in kind (for example statues, vases, liturgical vestments, a bell, etc.), construction begins.
Between July and October 1904, Brother André had a chapel built with the help of another brother and a handful of friends. This chapel will be used to pray to Saint Joseph (father of Jesus). Modestly made of wood and comprising a very limited space of 4.5 m (15 feet) by 5.50 m (18 feet), the chapel could not contain all the faithful. This was in fact an oratory which opened its two large walnut doors allowing the faithful to pray outside and this only during the summer period. The inauguration and blessing took place on October 19, 1904.
Because of the fame of Brother André, the multiplication of healings and the increase in the number of faithful, the expansion became a necessity. It was decided to enlarge and heat the building in 1908.
The chapel located on the side of the mountain is gaining popularity. It was enlarged a second time in 1910, the nave was added as well as the bell tower and Brother André's room located above the chapel (in the rood screen). The latter is a modest room also including a second bed used by Brother André to accommodate pilgrims or sick people. Following this second expansion, the building obtained the appearance it has today.
The crypt]
The Oratory was too small for the huge crowds it welcomed to meet Brother André and pray to Saint Joseph. It was then decided in 1915 to build a church. The plans called for the construction of a crypt covered by a basilica. Work began in 1916 according to plans by the two architects Dalbé Viau and Alphonse Venne.
The inauguration as well as the blessing took place in 1917. The name crypt comes from the fact that its vault rests on lowered arches and its position at the foot of the basilica. The crypt can accommodate 1,000 people9. Even today, she receives visits from the faithful to participate in daily services.
Basilica
Construction of the basilica began in 1924. Architects Dalbé Viau and Alphonse Venne were then called upon. The French monk Dom Paul Bellot designed the dome following the Italian Renaissance style accompanied by some modern touches.
The death of Brother André precedes the exterior finishing work, undertaken by Montreal architects Lucien Parent and Ernest Cormier in collaboration with Dom Bellot, which began in 1937.
A dome with an external height of 97 m from the ground, 39 m in diameter at its base, topped by a hexagonal skylight, itself topped by a cross 6.1 m high, will be built according to plans of Dom Bellot and Lucien Parent (1937). The votive chapel (1946-1949) according to plans by Dom Bellot, Lucien Parent and Ernest Cormier. The basilica's glass roofs (1958-1961) were created by Marius Plamondon. Installation of a Rudolf von Beckerath organ, 78 stops, five manuals and pedal board, (1960). The exterior Stations of the Cross are designed in plaster by Lucien Parent. Forty-two characters spread over sixteen stations sculpted in stone and marble by the sculptor Ercolo Barbieri). The crypt-church remodeled by Montreal artist Jean-Charles Charuest (1966). The primitive chapel (1904) will be decorated on the outside with a bronze monument made by Émile Brunet; Oratory Museum (reserve of more than 900 nativity scenes acquired throughout the world, part of which is exhibited each year during Christmas.
The concrete of the walls was covered with silver granite from Saint-Samuel (now in the municipality of Lac-Drolet, MRC du Granit), in Quebec (Canada). Four 18 m (60 foot) columns, in the Corinthian style, stand on the facade of the basilica. The dome was covered with copper.
Its main altar was consecrated in 1955 by Cardinal Paul-Émile Léger. That same year, the Saint-Joseph oratory of Mount Royal was established by Pope Pius XII.
The interior finishing work was completed in 1966 by Montreal architect Gérard Notebaert. It was in 1967 that construction was completed, thirty years after the death of Brother André.
Some characteristics of the Basilica
Christmas crib, 2018.
• The basilica stands 155 m (509 feet) above Queen Mary Road and 283 m (928 feet) from sea level, making it the highest point in Montreal. The dome, which rests at the crossing of the transept, is in fact a double structure comprising an exterior dome (the second largest in size for a Catholic basilica after that of Saint Peter in Rome), covering an interior dome. Many stained glass windows, sculptures and paintings are exhibited in this basilica.
• You can climb up to 283 steps at Saint-Joseph's Oratory from Queen Mary Road to the basilica portico. 99 wooden steps are reserved for prayer and are used by pilgrims who wish to climb on their knees.
Tomb of Brother André
Brother André died on January 6, 1937 at the age of 91. His body was kept in another location while awaiting the completion of the construction of his last lodge.
The final tomb being completed, his body was placed inside. This is located in a small funeral chapel outside the church. The brick arch was designed by Dom Paul Bellot. The Prime Minister of Quebec at the time, Maurice Duplessis, who was a friend of Brother André, offered the black marble for the tomb.
On September 11, 1963, the tomb was opened by the Ecclesiastical Tribunal responsible for the beatification to ensure the integrity of the body which was then in a state of mummification and intact. The beatification was finally carried out on May 23, 1982 by Pope John Paul II from St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit it every year. The fresco (by Henri Charlier), on the wall behind the tomb, illustrates Brother André's devotion to the Passion of Christ. We can read the inscription: “Poor, obedient, humble servant of God”. A bust of Brother André is displayed on the opposite wall. Under this bust are registers containing millions of signatures in favor of the canonization of Brother André10.
The heart of Brother André
In the Middle Ages, in France and Italy, it was customary for the hearts of famous people to be kept as a sign of admiration and recognition. This is how those of the kings of France were preserved. Georges Gauthier, Archbishop of Montreal, asked that Brother André's heart be preserved in this way after his death.
Brother André's heart was exposed to the general public, attracting crowds for moments of contemplation. It was stolen on the night of March 15 to 16, 1973. Thanks to information disclosed to the police department, the heart was found almost two years later. On December 21, 1974, the police entered a house south of Montreal and found the intact heart of Brother André in the basement, carefully wrapped.
The heart of Brother André is once again on display to the general public, in the exhibition room dedicated to his life and work. The religious authorities ensured that the heart was well protected behind a wrought iron gate.
The Way of the Cross
In the Oratory gardens, you can follow a life-size Stations of the Cross populated with sculptures representing the Passion of Christ. It is the original work of the artist Louis Parent. The Quebec sculptor devoted 10 years of his life to it (1943-1953). They were sculpted from natural stone from Indiana (United States) and the sculptor Ercolo Barbieri sculpted marble from Carrara (Italy) between 1952 and 1958. The landscape architect Frederick Gage Todd designed the gardens of the Oratory.
Cardinal Paul-Émile Léger inaugurated the Way of the Cross on July 29, 19514. Brother André's dream became a reality: to offer pilgrims a privileged place for prayer and meditation.
For the interior of the basilica, another life-size Stations of the Cross was created by Roger de Villiers and his successors from 1955 to 1960, and installed around the nave in 196011.
The votive chapel
Many patients left their crutches, canes, corsets and prostheses at the crypt following their supposed healing and favor. As these ex-votos could not be hung on the walls of the crypt, a devotional chapel was built as an annex to store them there. The votive chapel was created according to plans by architect Lucien Parent. Today, the ex-votos rest on the walls of the chapel and bear witness to the gratitude of the faithful to the prayers of Brother André to Saint Joseph. All the ex-votos in the chapel date from the time when Brother André lived, none of them have been hung since his death.
The chapel measures 31.69 × 15.2 × 27.43 m and contains approximately 10,000 candles. The central candlestick in front of the statue of Saint Joseph contains around 3,500 votive candles. The chapel is also called “the chapel of ex-votos” because of nearly a thousand ex-votos. which are suspended there. It also contains eight bas-reliefs, designed by the sculptor Joseph Guardo in 1948, which illustrate eight of the attributes granted to Saint Joseph.
Organ
The large organs of the Oratory were installed in 1960 by a German organbuilder, Rudolf von Beckerath, at the instigation of the incumbent Raymond Daveluy. Built in Hamburg (Germany) in 1958-1959, it is composed of 78 stops distributed over five manual keyboards, 118 ranks, 5,811 pipes distributed over 5 mechanical keyboards and pedal boards, making it one of the most important of its kind in the world. world. At the time, he encouraged the revival of Quebec organ building, notably at Casavant Frères, which revived the mechanical traction construction of its beginnings in the 19th century. Many concert artists have played on this instrument, such as Marie-Claire Alain, Jean Guillou, Lionel Rogg and Pierre Pincemaille12.
Chime.
The carillon of the Saint-Joseph oratory has 56 bronze bells and ranks among the largest carillons in North America. Originally intended for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it was cast by the famous French house Paccard and offered to the Oratory by generous donors in 195513.
The instrument has four and a half octaves. It extends from D #3 to A #7 in an entirely chromatic fashion. The largest bell weighs 1,500 kg and the smallest approximately 5 kg. The entire chime gives a total weight of 10,900 kg.
The carillon was dismantled in September 2018, due to major work planned as part of the development project announced on June 6, 2016. In June 2023, the carillon bells returned after being restored14,15.
Pope's visit
On September 11, 1984, Pope John Paul II visited the Oratory during his visit to Montreal.
Canonization of Brother André
Since 1941, efforts have been made to ensure that Brother André, strongly associated with Saint Joseph's Oratory, is recognized as a holy man. From the beginning of the 1960s, a beatification process was opened. The Ecclesiastical Tribunal in charge of the procedure had the tomb opened on September 11, 1963, in order to ensure the integrity of the body. It was then found in a state of mummification and intact. In 1978, Pope Paul VI declared him venerable. Brother André was then beatified on May 23, 1982 by Pope John Paul II, under the name Blessed “Brother André Bessette”16. Over the years, 10 million people have signed petitions for his canonization. But the Roman Catholic Church had to be able to recognize a second miracle.
In October 2009, this second miracle was officially recognized and attributed to Brother André by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, so that the blessed now only has to wait for the decision of the Pope, on the advice of this congregation, in order to be canonized. On December 19, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI authorized the Congregation to promulgate the decree concerning this miracle attributed to Brother André17 On February 19, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI announced during a consistory that Brother André would be canonized on October 17, 201018.

Major works[
start of a series of major works as part of a major project to develop and restore the sanctuary. These renovations aim to improve safety and accessibility for visitors while preserving sacred, urban and territorial heritage. The work carried out to date includes the creation of a horizontal pedestrian surface accessible to people with disabilities located at the crypt level as well as the installation of mobile staircases and elevators. The landscaping of the premises and the Sacred Axis has also been significantly revised as well as car access and parking.
An observation center will be installed at the top of the dome of the Oratory basilica. It promises to be the highest observation point in Montreal, the equivalent of a 45-story building if viewed from Queen Mary Road or some 150 stories from the St. Lawrence River. . However, the project is delayed due to funding delays; nothing has started in January 201320. The construction of this observation center will be done as part of the development project currently estimated at more than $50 million21 over 10 years, including $15 million for the dome .
