SUN VALLEY - More than 165 members of the Los Angeles Fire Department were joined by firefighters from the neighboring cities of Burbank and Glendale on November 19, 2022, in a two-and-one-half hour battle against a Santa Ana wind-driven wildfire that quickly consumed nearly two acres of vegetation adjacent to the Golden State (I-5) Freeway at Penrose Avenue, before spreading within and heavily damaging a nearby automotive repair and salvage firm, as well as an adjacent custom cabinetry business in a pair of large adjoining metal-clad one story commercial buildings. No injuries were reported.

The Kédougou region, in the south-east of Senegal, has important deposits of gold. Mining is both corporate and community driven and I visited one mining area, run by the Tomboronkoto community. HIstorically artisanal mining dominated but Senegal changed its legal/regulatory system early in this millenium to encourage international investment. Next to the entry of corporate miners this seems to have encouraged a far more active artisanal activity, with miners coming from neighbouring countries (Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea etc) and remitting cash back to their homelands. In fact most of the artisanal miners I spoke to were not Senegalese but were there with the permission of the village.
There are reports that this growth in mining, while providing valuable cash for the local area, has had some disadvantages: there have been bloody fights between miners (although other reports say there is now an operating framework that has reduced some of the friction), an increase in prostitution and STIs and, perhaps most importantly for the local community, the environmental impacts of mercury usage, reduced availability of clean water and a destruction of agricultural land.

We have now left the coast and driven up onto the long ridge that forms the backbone of the Gallipoli peninsula and leads north to Chunuk Bair. This is the cemetery at Lone Pine, which sits on a 'C' shaped hill top or plateau, known in 1915 as '400 plateau' (based on its height above sea level). The northern half of the plateau became known as Johnston's Jolly, and the southern half as Lone Pine, with Owen's Gully between them. It was for control of this ridgeline that the two sides spent most of 1915 fighting one another. Here at the southern end, the Anzacs generally managed to maintain a precarious toe-hold, while at the northern end, they were mostly unsuccessful.
The 400 Plateau was heavily fought for on the first day of the landings. Various Australian units, attempting to follow their original orders, pushed on across the plateau, down into Legge Valley and up onto Gun Ridge beyond. However, as Turkish reinforcements arrived, they were forced back and by the end of the day, the Anzacs were fighting to keep a hold on Lone Pine and the ridge either side of it.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission documents that 754 Australian and 147 New Zealand soldiers died on 25 April 1915.
Lone Pine was again the scene of heavy fighting in August 1915. By this time, the two sides were facing each other in lines of trenches across the top of the hill. An attack was planned as a diversion, to draw Ottoman attention away from the main assaults against Sari Bair, Chunuk Bair and Hill 971 to the north.
The Australians, at brigade strength (3 battalions), managed to capture the main Ottoman trench line from the battalion that was defending the position, after attacking from prepared tunnels. The fighting continued for the next three days as the Ottomans brought up reinforcements and launched numerous counterattacks in an attempt to recapture the ground they had lost. As the counterattacks intensified the Australians brought up two fresh battalions until finally, on 9 August the Turks called off any further attempts and by 10 August offensive action ceased, leaving the Australians in control of the position. While the 'diversion' was a tactical success, the main attack further north, was not.
The fighting here at Lone Pine is considered to be the most intense that Australian troops have ever been involved in, before or since. Most of the fighting, which took place under constant artillery fire and rifle and machinegun fire from the positions to north and south, occurred here, within the confines of what is now the cemetery. The original 'Lonesome Pine" was destroyed in the battle.
Ottoman losses were estimated at between 5,000–6,000, killed, wounded, missing and captured. Australian losses during the battle amounted to 2,277 men killed or wounded - almost half those committed to the battle. Much of the killing was done with grenades (or bombs as they called them then). All the Australian grenades were hand-made down on the beach from jam tins and gun cotton!
Seven Australians were awarded the Victoria Cross for their actions during the fighting at Lone Pine.
As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.
Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.
Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.
Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.

I have driven past Winchester on the M3 five times this year, on the sixth passing, I tried to find a place to park so I could visit the cathedral.
It costs £8.50 to go in, but you can take as many pictures as you like, which is fine by me.
The Nave and Chancel are huge, and long. All surfaces are apparently covered with memorials, with other spaces filled with chapels and shrines to past Bishops, as well as the relics of St Swithun.
It did rain after I left. Not a good sign.
But inside it is a delight, even the smallest details, like the tiles, just wonderful.
-------------------------------------------
Winchester Cathedral is a cathedral of the Church of England in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the longest nave and greatest overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.[3]
Dedicated to the Holy Trinity,[1] Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and before the Reformation, Saint Swithun,[4] it is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester and centre of the Diocese of Winchester. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building.
The cathedral was founded in 642 on a site immediately to the north of the present one. This building became known as the Old Minster. It became part of a monastic settlement in 971.
Saint Swithun was buried near the Old Minster and then in it, before being moved to the new Norman cathedral. So-called mortuary chests said to contain the remains of Saxon kings such as King Eadwig of England, first buried in the Old Minster, and his wife Ælfgifu, are in the present cathedral.[5] The Old Minster was demolished in 1093, immediately after the consecration of its successor.
In 1079, Walkelin, Bishop of Winchester, began work on a completely new cathedral.[6] Much of the limestone used to build the structure was brought across from quarries around Binstead, Isle of Wight. Nearby Quarr Abbey draws its name from these workings, as do several nearby places such as Stonelands and Stonepitts. The remains of the Roman trackway used to transport the blocks are still evident across the fairways of the Ryde Golf Club, where the stone was hauled from the quarries to the hythe at the mouth of Binstead Creek, and thence by barge across the Solent and up to Winchester.[citation needed][No sign of any Binstead Creek on the map]
The building was consecrated in 1093. On 8 April of that year, according to the Annals of Winchester, "in the presence of almost all the bishops and abbots of England, the monks came with the highest exultation and glory from the old minster to the new one: on the Feast of S. Swithun they went in procession from the new minster to the old one and brought thence S. Swithun's shrine and placed it with honour in the new buildings, and on the following day Walkelin's men first began to pull down the old minster."[6]
A substantial amount of the fabric of Walkelin's building, including crypt, transepts and the basic structure of the nave, survives.[7] The original crossing tower, however, collapsed in 1107, an accident blamed by the cathedral's medieval chroniclers on the burial of the dissolute William Rufus beneath it in 1100.[6] Its replacement, which survives today, is still in the Norman style, with round-headed windows. It is a squat, square structure, 50 feet (15 m) wide, but rising only 35 feet (11 m) above the ridge of the transept roof.[8] The Tower is 150 feet (46 m) tall.
After the consecration of Godfrey de Luci as bishop in 1189, a retrochoir was added in the Early English style. The next major phase of rebuilding was not until the mid-14th century, under bishops Edington and Wykeham.[10] Edingdon (1346–1366)[11] removed the two westernmost bays of the nave, built a new west front and began the remodelling of the nave.[12]
Under William of Wykeham (1367–1404) the Romanesque nave was transformed[clarification needed], recased in Caen stone and remodelled in the Perpendicular style,[13] with its internal elevation divided into two, rather than the previous three, storeys.[14] The wooden ceilings were replaced with stone vaults.[13]
Wykeham's successor, Henry of Beaufort (1405–1447) carried out fewer alterations, adding only a chantry on the south side of the retrochoir, although work on the nave may have continued through his episcopy.[15] His successor, William of Waynflete (1447–1486), built another chantry in a corresponding position on the north side. Under Peter Courtenay (Bishop 1486–1492) and Thomas Langton (1493–1500), there was more work. De Luci's Lady chapel was lengthened, and the Norman side aisles of the presbytery replaced. In 1525, Richard Foxe (Bishop 1500–1528) added the side screens of the presbytery, which he also gave a wooden vault.[10] With its progressive extensions, the east end is now about 110 feet (34 m) beyond that of Walkelin's building
King Henry VIII seized control of the Catholic Church in England and declared himself head of the Church of England. The Benedictine foundation, the Priory of Saint Swithun, was dissolved. The priory surrendered to the king in 1539. The next year a new chapter was formed, and the last prior, William Basyng, was appointed dean.[17] The monastic buildings, including the cloister and chapter house, were later demolished, mostly during the 1560–1580 tenure of the reformist bishop Robert Horne.[18][19]
North Transept
The Norman choir screen, having fallen into a state of decay, was replaced in 1637–40 by a new one, designed by Inigo Jones. It was in a classical style, with bronze figures by Hubert le Sueur of James I and Charles I in niches. It was removed in 1820, by when its style was felt inappropriate in an otherwise medieval building. The central bay, with its archway, is now in the University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at Cambridge;[20] it was replaced by a Gothic screen by Edward Garbett, its design based on the west doorway of the nave.[21]
This stone structure was itself removed in the 1870s to make way for a wooden one designed by George Gilbert Scott,[22] who modelled it on the canopies of the choir stalls of the monks (dating from around 1308).[23] Scott's west-facing screen has been much criticised, although the carving is of superlative workmanship and virtually replicates the earlier, albeit finer, carving of the early 14th century east-facing return stalls on to which it backs. The displaced bronze statues of the Stuart kings were moved to the west end of the Cathedral, standing in niches on each side of the central door. Scott's work was otherwise conservative. He moved the lectern to the north side of the quire beside the pulpit, facing west, where it remained for a century before returning to its present central position, now facing east.
RESEDA - A wind-driven tree fire spread through several blocks burning structures and vegetation.
On Saturday, January 16, 2021 at 11:53 AM, LAFD responded to a structure fire at the 18000 block of Elkwood St. The fire appeared to have started in ornamental vegetation near Strathern St, then was fueled by wind and pushed several blocks to the south across Blythe, Arminta, Elkwood and Ingomar. A post-fire survey revealed that only two homes sustained minor fire damage, and four out buildings were damaged or destroyed. LAFD Firefighters were on scene just three minutes after being dispatched and acted quickly to prevent this situation from becoming much worse in the warm/windy conditions, with an attack that included water-dropping helicopters. It took 68 firefighters 49 minutes to extinguish all of the flames. There were no injuries. The fire is under investigation.

These are some shots from a shoot I did for Driven-- a luxury car service in London. I was shooting with a photographer friend of mine all over the city.
The photos we took in Trinity Square (next to the Tower of London) were pretty interesting to capture as everyone who saw us shooting assumed there was someone famous in the car and stood around getting in our way, until we got into the cars ourselves. haha.
Goodtimes.

Bibury is considered by many to be one of the very prettiest villages in England - each time I have driven there it is rammed with tourists which proves the point that it has many charms - but I bet it looks lovely there just now totally bereft of any visitors! Of course they wouldn't have something like a petrol station there now - in fact I had wondered if there had ever been one at all but clearly there was in the 1930s. The two nearer pumps are selling Pratts and National Benzole - not sure of the far one but possibly Shell or Cleveland. It's a lovely rural scene of days long gone and one I was very pleased to add to my collection. You can see the same view today below as well as on Streetview - the White Swan is of course still there :o) www.google.com/maps/@51.7604511,-1.8349129,3a,75y,356.71h...

As I was serenely riding on my favorite mountain road I was abruptly met by a car that was being driven by a guy who decided to use both lanes. It was on a blind curve and left me with a split second (literally) decision to make. and that was to either swerve and go into the ditch (which I did) or face a combined impact of over 100 mph which would have been certain death! When I hit the ditch, my bike flipped, pivoting on the front wheel and leaving me injured and my bike trashed. The guy never stopped to see if I had been killed or critically injured and needing help. HOWEVER...within minutes a nurse (who had seen it all) came to my aid, and then a flatbed tow truck stopped as well! Then another more senior nurse showed up to help. Because I had no money on me, the first nurse made a deal with the tow truck driver to take me, and my bike down the mountain, off the books, for $50.00...He refused payment and took me (and bike) down for free! This is the short of it for I had MANY Angels, seen and unseen ministering to me that day. My bike was pretty beat up, and I (and it) should have had MANY more injuries than we did. All my leather was shredded and my boots were ground down to the steel in the toe...but I was relatively OK! Beat to a pulp but no broken bones or anything other than road rash and strained and sore muscles...I survived a crash that easily could have killed me...I must be doing something right and know that God must have more plans for me. I feel more alive than I can remember! Oh yeh, my bike is back on the road and now only needs a few cosmetic touches!
