View of the external bay window to the only completed/updated room in Woodchester Mansion, the drawing room. This was because in 1894 Cardinal Vaughan paid a visit to the house, and the drawing room was updated, but from that day on the house stood mostly empty.
A 19th Century Victorian Gothic Masterpiece mysteriously abandoned mid-construction in 1873.
Hidden in a secluded Cotswold valley, it is untouched by time and the modern world. This Grade 1 Listed Building has been saved from dereliction, but will never be completed. The carvings in Woodchester Mansion are among the finest of their kind in the World.
A wonderful place to visit as you can see quite clearly in places how it was built.....!!

The best known kind of event horizon is that of black holes - one of the earliest fruits of Einstein's General relativity, due to brilliant work by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. A black hole's horizon is a boundary in spacetime from which no signal or radiation can come out to affect an external observer. Put in a simpler way: no light, radio waves, or any other kind of radiation emitted from inside the event horizon can ever hope to escape from it, because in that region the black hole's gravitational pull is so strong that not even light (travelling at the craziest possible speed in the whole universe) can overcome it. So the event horizon is what makes the hole, well... black. Incidentally, I would slightly prefer something like "not-even-black hole", but I suspect that this term would not stick ;-)*
Of course, this narrative is not about black holes - the direct observation of the immediate environment of a black hole with angular resolution comparable to the event horizon is one of the Holy Grails of astrophysics - but I felt the need to attempt and clarify a bit what the concept means.
I was at Cala de la Vinyeta in Calella, as in my previous upload, Primeval light. No black holes there, but a pretty unremarkable, middle-aged yellow star some 4.5 billion years old - yet our most precious friend for a whole lot of reasons.
I was fairly sure that the sun was still below the horizon, as my watch suggested; but the cliff enclosing the Eastern end of the cove hid the very point of the horizon from which the Sun would have risen. I perceived that looming bulk of rosy rocks - would-be rosy sand in a handful of centuries - as an event horizon effectively keeping out of my view the focal point of the approaching sunrise. I decided not to mind the thing - who knows, I thought, sometimes one discover unexpected treasures just out of the trodden track... Moreover, I would not waste precious minutes in tentatively looking for another pov - since, I knew, there are further rocks beyond the cliff.
As the radiance beyond the cliff was growing more and more in the cloudless sky, I began to feel thankful to my personal event horizon for shading my camera from the intense glow :-) So I happily took my exposure bracketing to be processed with luminosity masks and went on enjoying my photographic session.
I am not happy with some parts of this shot - mainly the sea - but I like the glorious glow beyond the cliff, hinting to the hidden sunrise without revealing it. This is the common thread of this series from Cala de la Vinyeta.
* Hope that Hawking will forgive my omission of the radiation named after him, which, however, is produced at the event horizon - so effectively endowing black holes with a temperature, if not with colour.
The North Guilford Congregational Church, established in 1720, together with its neighboring St. John's Episcopal Church and the burial ground across the street, occupy Meeting House Hill which is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. The two churches have also been listed among the most historically significant and beautiful churches in Connecticut.

This is a shot of Edward Thompson designed Class B1 of 4-6-0 wheel arrangement and having twin external cylinders. She was built in North British in Glasgow and was new to traffic in 1948. She has been in preservation since 1967.
This year she has been a regular and popular visitor to the westcountry.
This shot shows her along the River Teign just east of Newton Abbot passing a local area known as Red Rock which i am standing on.
She was working the 1Z69 1700 Plymouth to Nantwich.
Unfortunatly the sun had ducked behind some clouds as she approached but she did put on a spirited display as she passed looking and sounding fantastic.
I had a great birthday and some pre-birthday celebrations with my friends.
I got two birthday presents from them; an eyeliner, and a 250GB external hard disk. The hard disk was really a surprise to me and I am glad and happy to have received it as I do need it, in the near future..
It is touching when people around you, no matter friends or family who notice and remember your birthday, and at least care about you and are thoughtful enough to give you something nice that you didn't even notice that you need.
I've also received lots of SMS with wishes to me.
I feel lucky and glad to possess such assets in my life - great friends.
The set of temples on the island of Philé does not constitute an isolated system. Rather, it is closely linked to other nearby temples (Abaton) and to the series of Nubian temples that, from Philé, dot the shores of Lower Nubia. The pharaohs (almost continuously in each reign) had donated "the fields" (the Dodekaschoenos) to the goddess, which is the same as saying: to her priests.
On the island, there is a clear gradation in the temples. The main temple is that of Isis, which occupies the main axial position, while the other temples (Arensnufis, Imhotep, etc.) are subordinate to that of the goddess, being located transversally to said axis.
The decoration of the walls of the temples that make up the Philae complex was carried out according to a system described by Eleni Vassilika (Ptolemaic Philae), according to which the artists, following the guidelines of the theologians, would have produced a series of decorative cartoons from which the wall decorations would have been erected, maintaining strict regulated standards.
In 1863 the first sugar factory was opened in Halfweg. After a few years, this sugar factory closed its doors, after which the N.V. Sugar Factory Holland settled there not much later. The factory was located on the site that includes the former Gemeenlandshuis Swanenburg. In 1919, the Sugar Factory Holland was transferred to the Central Sugar Company. This is how the name “CSM” came about. From the mid-1970s, CSM grew into a large concern. The sugar activities became less important. In 1992 the factory in Halfweg was closed. Due to the closure, approximately 110,000 m² of land surface was freed up for redevelopment.
In 2000 the site was sold to a project developer. The two silos of the sugar factory, where the sugar and molasses used to be stored, have been converted into modern offices and show areas. The two fifty-metre-high sugar silos, together with the lime kiln, form the landmarks of SugarCity. The silos are clad on the outside with metal panels with coloured lamps on them, which give a light show on the two towers in the evenings.
Schiphol
SugarCity is situated almost directly in line with on the runways of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. This causes one of the external safety contours (10-6) to lie over one of the towers. The potential risk is such that it has been discussed for a long time whether so many people are allowed to be there and/or work there. A compromise was found. The towers were not allowed to be developed to the maximum with offices and workstations. Hence the show areas. This reduces the number of people present at any time, and as such the reduces the number of potential deaths if an aircraft would hit the tower(s).
Technical stuff
I’ve been offline for some time. This was due to a number of reasons. Not in the least caused by rather demanding work. Next to that I had numerous photography assignments like weddings, a cover photo for a book, family shoots and inaugural lecture at the University of Leiden. All great fun. But also time-consuming. However, I didn't want to let 2022 pass quietly, either. So I'll try to upload some pictures in the coming remaining days.
This fine art is the first. This ND long exposure is a 200ISO, f5.0, 181sec at 16 mils shot with my Fujifilm X-T3. Post-production was done with Lightroom. Finally, I added the copyright signs (in Photoshop). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the frequent copying of my photos. So, don't bother commenting on that.
I love working w/ Chelsea, she is a true professional, I believe this girl was born to be in front of camera lens.

Belton House, located in a few miles north of Grantham in Lincolnshire, is a quintessential example of a late 17th-century country estate, built in the Carolean (Restoration) style. It was home to the Brownlow and Cust families for nearly 300 years.
The house was primarily built between 1685 and 1688 for "Young" Sir John Brownlow and his wife Alice, who inherited a vast fortune from a great-uncle. They chose a fashionable yet comparatively modest design, drawing inspiration from Roger Pratt's demolished Clarendon House in London, rather than a grand Baroque palace. The design is generally attributed to architect William Winde, with construction overseen by master mason William Stanton.
The Brownlow family were a dynasty of wealthy lawyers who began acquiring land in the area in the late 16th century. Successive generations, including the Cust family who later inherited the estate and were created Baron and then Earl Brownlow, made alterations to the interiors and gardens to reflect changing tastes and social status, though the external appearance remained largely unchanged.
Following the wars, the family faced mounting financial difficulties and death duties, common challenges for wealthy English families at the time. After attempts to keep the estate viable, including opening it to the public, the 7th Baron Brownlow donated the house and most of its contents to the National Trust in 1984.

Special:
- The Mini (ADO15) was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis (who also designed the Morris Minor over 10 years earlier) and is generally considered one of the most important milestones in automotive history.
- Based on the 2-door Mini John Cooper (racecar constructor of Formula 500, Formula 3 and Formula 1 cars and a friend of Sir Alec Issigonis) developed a sporty model: the Mini Cooper.
- In Italy in the years 60-70 it often was too expensive, due to high import duties, to purchase an imported car, so that most Italians opted for an Italian car. BMC England signed an agreement with Innocenti Milan (famous for the production of Lambretta) and from 1965 Innocenti was allowed to built the Mini 850 for the Italian market. Since 1971, the Mini Cooper was also built under license.
- It is equipped with a unique "Hydrolastic" shock absorption system, invented by famous British rubber engineer Alex Moulton, in which the various fluid-filled shock absorbers, by means of conduits, are in communication with each other.
- The Innocenti was faster and more luxurious (interior with more accessories and better finished) than the British Mini and nowadays very popular in the USA, Canada and Europe.
- Many details of internal and external were produced by Italian brands (IPRA for the radiators, Carello and Altissimo for the headlights), so especially for the Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 spare parts are hard to find.

The external red emergency exit stairs on this building adjacent to Jubilee Campus in Nottingham reminded me of something more suited to New York.
The angle of the shadow makes the stairs look slightly crooked.

#The Ball of Pomodoro
Pesaro Italy
The impressive ball lying on the surface of a fountain from which you look at the sea, is the bronze cast made in 1998 by sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro on a polyester model arrived in Pesaro in 1971 but realized in 1967 for the Expo ' Montreal. The original work is today in Rome in front of the main entrance of the Foreign Ministry, the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Conceived as the pure vision of reality, the sphere is no more than the world torn and cracked by external events.
Arnaldo Pomodoro (born 23 June 1926) is an Italian sculptor. He was born in Morciano, Romagna, Italy. He currently lives and works in Milan. His brother, Giò Pomodoro (1930–2002) was also a sculptor.
Some of Pomodoro's "Sphere Within Sphere" (Sfera con Sfera) can be seen in the Vatican Museums, Trinity College, Dublin, the United Nations Headquarters and Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, American Republic Insurance Company in Des Moines, Iowa, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio, the University of California, Berkeley and the Tel Aviv University, Israel.

In April 1980, 03073, complete with it's match wagon, hauls the empty coaches from the 1205 Kings Cross to Hull out of Hull Paragon station.
The locomotive's appalling external condition was due to repeated trips through the carriage washing plant.
The cleaning product used required that after application, cleaned vehicles were thoroughly rinsed to remove the acidic product. If not rinsed correctly, the product had an interesting side effect of acting as paint stripper.

Kings Ripton, Cambs
Kings Ripton is an historic village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England. Located on the River Nene, it is known for its 13th-century parish church, St. Peter's, which features an impressive Norman tower. Kings Ripton has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Roman era. The village played a role in the English Civil War, and was once home to a medieval priory. Today, Kings Ripton is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a population of around 300. Its main industries are agriculture and tourism, and it is a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers.
Poschiavo owes its beauty to the imposing Renaissance style of its courtly 19th century architecture. These palazzi[3] were built by prosperous local residents who had made their fortune abroad, particularly in Spain.[4]

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains 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. They 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 lion is Steller's sea lion, 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. 61435
