The Vyne is a Grade I listed 16th-century country house in the parish of Sherborne St John, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire, England. The house was first built circa 1500–10 in the Tudor style by William Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys, Lord Chamberlain to King Henry VIII. In the 17th century it was transformed to resemble a classical mansion. Today, although much reduced in size, the house retains its Tudor chapel, with contemporary stained glass.
From far we feel
Two wheels
The way it goes
Texture comes after
When colors travel around
In the little details
The painter is gone
Come closer and see
The Jakob-Kaiser-Haus is the largest complex of government offices built in connection with the transfer of the German federal government from Bonn to Berlin. It houses the staff of the governing coalition members and comprises over 2,000 office rooms, two large committee halls, many conference rooms, extensive cafeteria facilities and a fully-equipped TV studio. The complex was designed and built by a consortium of four architecture firms. The section designed by de Architekten Cie. forms roughly a quarter of the whole complex. It is situated in a prominent location between the Reichtsag and the Brandenburger Tor.
The building encloses two courtyards, one of which has been covered with a glass roof. The resulting space serves as an entrance hall for the southern part of the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus. The wooden panelling gives the entrance hall the character of an interior room; the adjacent courtyard exudes, by contrast, a sense of external space. The two courtyards remain in visual contact with each other by a two-storey tall opening at ground level, interrupting the strictly orthogonal main structure of the master plan. The street façades reflect the theme of the interior court in two different ways. The Ebertstrasse façade, providing a view of the Tiergartenpark, presents a lively clair obscur by way of the three-dimensional effect of the natural stone framework with its recessed terracotta panels. Attached to the Dorotheenstrasse façade is an additional glass “shell” which marks the entrance and places an accent in the street with its primarily stony façades. Seen from the working spaces the glass shell creates a visual wintergarden, increasing in this narrow street the users` privacy. The previously existing building, the Kammer der Technik built between 1912 and 1914, has been entirely integrated into the new structure. From a functional viewpoint, its office spaces fit in seamlessly with the new building.

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short and thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they make up the family Otariidae, eared seals. The sea lions have six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean.
Sea lions have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lions are Steller's sea lions, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered

A lifer for me! I was so excited to see this fellow at the pond yesterday. It had been raining all day but about mid afternoon it slowed so I grabbed the camera and went out to see what I could see and get some fresh air. I'm happy to say I had "Big Bertha" lens on too. Honestly, this bird is so well camophlaged, if it hadn't run along the bank of the pond, I never would have seen it. Only with a lot of help from Lightroom can you barely make out what it is now I think! LOL. I also managed to migrate 38,430 raw file photos from Lightroom (and the PC) to an external hard drive. It took about 12 hours! PHew! I organized the whole year of 2020 into months first. Painful work indeed but it needed to be done for sure. Rainy days have their benefits!

“Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
201 Waiotapu Loop Rd, RD3, Reporoa, New Zealand.
New Zealand's most colourful geothermal attraction - just a short drive from either Rotorua or Taupo. An area in which the landscape has been sculptured by geothermal activity and where unique volcanic features can be viewed from well defined tracks.
Named as "One of the 20 Most Surreal Places in the World" Thousands of years in the making, visitors can choose one or all of three walks which take between 45 and 90 minutes. Unique features include the world famous Champagne Pool naturally coloured springs, bubbling mud, steaming ground, expansive vistas, huge volcanic craters and sinter terrace formations. The natural bush setting adds another dimension to the experience as does the Lady Knox Geyser which erupts daily at 10.15 am to heights of up to 20 meters. The modern Visitor Centre has a wide range of New Zealand souvenirs and a cafe which has internal and external dining areas. Self-guided tour.”

Pinnnacle @ Duxton, Singapore
I spent an afternoon noodling around the remarkable "Pinnacle @ Duxton" building complex, in Singapore. The public skybridge is an intriguing community space located on the 50th floor. Its 500 metre span connects the 7, 50 story buildings, comprising the complex.
This architectural marvel is an inspired community housing project, completed in 2009 - the deserving winner of several awards.
Janus 0-6-0 twin engine diesel electric no 38, bult by the Yorkshire engine co. of Sheffield, works no.2798 of 1961 sits stabled by the weighbridge at the Stocksbridge steel mill above Sheffield on Easter Saturday, April the 8th 2023. This loco shunts internal traffic, heated ingots and rolled steel, external traffic having ceased over a year ago.
Stabled nearby was another Janus, an earlier 1959 product to the same design, numbered 33. A look here ten days later saw the mill at work. 38 had disappeared, 33 had been moved and parked again at a similar spot. Rails show good use. I waited almost two hours, nothing came.. Maybe another time.
This place, along with an almost dormant Aldwarke arc furnace and mill is the last user of this successful type.
The windmill tower seen here was built sometime between 1760 and 1774. The tower is more than 7.5 metres (25 feet) high and has an external diameter of over 3.5m (12 feet).
The mill stopped working in 1927, for the next thirty years it stood idle with only a brief period of use a Home Guard post during the Second World War.
In 1958, the mill was renovated restoring the stonework, fitting a boat-shaped roof, new doors and new sails.

One fire, one external light and the end of the day lighting one window.
There was time and there was a place to experience the light and to enjoy the warmth.
To have company is addition to the light and warmth.
If we build our beacons of light and warmth we can find our ways to them no matter how the path wends a curious way, sometimes as a matter of fact the curious way is the best path to journey.
Same scene and phone camera recorded in JPEG and DNG file formats.
This is not the best test of these file formats, it was a very good scene to be in and the camera did all of the hard work, I just needed to be there, which is sometimes, well most often, is the biggest variable in the blend for me.
The pictures were edited individually and that added to their perspective difference.
