Abandone Benelux -
Nothing is left of the beautiful pleasure garden that the nineteenth century Goorhof was among the previous owners - the heirs de Namur. The castle, is owned by one of the many subsidiaries of a Dutch company . It made it rotten into a hovel that could not be restored, burnt out and completely emptied.
Firebacks, staircases, chandeliers, all marble, windows, doors, cast iron ornamental cars, even the parquet of the castle were stolen. Nobody that cared. Squatters, drug addicts, satan worshipers and Nazi sympathizers took possession of the castle.

This is a fireback -- installed at the back of a fireplace, it would heat and glow, helping to radiate heat and providing an image that the artist said made the figure come to life.

Macro Monday - "Negative Space"
This is apparently a Siamese Fireback pheasant feather. I've been collecting feathers to decorate my many hats with.
Happy Macro Monday!

D'après ce que j'ai lu c'est un faisan en voie de disparition et il est encore plus rare en captivité. Pourtant celui-ci est pensionnaire du zoo d'Anvers, on dit même qu'il s'agit d'un vieux mâle mais je ne sais pas sur quoi on se base pour déterminer son âge...?

Another sketch for the "Birds Of Thailand" group show.
We were once doing a research trip in one of the national parks here in Thailand... earlier in the day there had been a tiger sighting not far from where we were camped. As we were leaving camp... the bushes began to shake violently... as did I... but out popped a family of pheasants... much to everyones relief.
I always like watching these pheasants... they walk around so proudly... and look as if they are off to some fancy dinner party.

Female Delacour's crested fireback (Lophura ignita macartneyi) - Antwerpen zoo - Belgium
Driving along the B6076 we came across this derelict factory which as the chimney suggests was Dysons. The company was founded by John Dyson who began mining clay and making bricks in the early 1800s.
For many years the factory manufactured refractory material and ceramics for the steel industry. They also produced firebacks and other household ceramic bricks for the likes of Aga's etc. This site closed in 2005 as technology developed but I understand the Dyson Group does still continue to produce ceramics in their Totley factory.

Notes: William Alexander Archibald Hamilton, 11th Duke of Hamilton and 8th Duke of Brandon (19 February 1811 – 8 July 1863) styled Earl of Angus before 1819 and Marquess of Douglas and Clydesdale between 1819 and 1852, was a Scottish nobleman and the Premier Peer of Scotland. He was the son of Alexander Hamilton, 10th Duke of Hamilton and Susan Euphemia Beckford, daughter of English novelist William Beckford. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He was Knight Marischal of Scotland from 1846 and Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire from 1852 until his death. Though he had married in 1843, the duke did not succeed to his title until 1852. In that year, he purchased the house located at 22 Arlington Street in St. James's, a district of the City of Westminster in central London from Henry Somerset, 7th Duke of Beaufort for £60,000. The duke lavished expenses on the house for approximately a decade, including installing iron firebacks with his coronet and motto. Upon his death, the house passed to his widow who sold it to Ivor Guest, 1st Baron Wimborne via auction in 1867.

Et voici Monsieur faisan noble de delacour. Je ne sais pas si c'est par curiosité ou par souci de protéger Madame, mais pas moyen de le décoler du grillage et donc.. pas le choix, un gros plan de la tête :-)
Il est assez coloré. Ses plumes sont majoritairement bleu nuit comme vous le voyez puis une zone un peu rousse/brune vers le bas du poitrail. Une partie du dos est varie entre le rouge et le doré/cuivré et enfin les plumes du croupion sont euh... blondes :-)

The clock is on Donegal House.
Guildhall on the left, Donegal House on the right.
The Guildhall in Lichfield has been part of Lichfield's City government for 600 years. In forme times it had been a meeting place of the Corporation, but also at various times a court, a prison, police station, theatre and fire station.
The Guildhall takes its name from the ancient Guild of St Mary and St John the Baptist. The first Guildhall may have been on this site in 1387, when Richard II had confirmed the incorporation of the Guild, even though it had existed for many years.
The old prison had existed round the back since 1553.
Major rebuilding took place in 1707 and 1741, but the building was so ruinous it could of fell down.
By 1844 the Conduit Lands Trust promised to put the Guildhall right "once and for all".
In 1846 a gothic frontage was built, with the stained glass window transfered from Lichfield Cathedral in 1891.
These day the Guildhall is used for civic events and Council meetings.
