"The National Railway Museum is a museum in York forming part of the Science Museum Group. The museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles such as Mallard, Stirling Single, Duchess of Hamilton and a Japanese bullet train. In addition, the National Railway Museum holds a diverse collection of other objects from a household recipe book used in George Stephenson’s house to film showing a "never stop railway" developed for the British Empire Exhibition. It has won many awards, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001.
As of 2019 the museum is about to embark on a once-in-a-generation site development. As part of the York Central redevelopment which will divert Leeman Road, the National Railway Museum will be building a new entrance building to connect the two separate parts of the museum together. At the same time, the space around the museum will be landscaped to provide public spaces.
In 2020 architectural practice Feilden Fowles won an international competition to create the museum’s new £16.5 million Central Hall building—a key element of the museum’s Vision 2025 masterplan.
York is a cathedral city and unitary authority area in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the council area which includes nearby villages was 208,200 as of 2017[citation needed] and the population of the urban area was 153,717 at the 2011 census. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, it is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. The local authority is the City of York Council, a single tier governing body responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city. The City of York local government district includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. It is about 25 miles north-east of Leeds and 34 miles north-west of Kingston upon Hull. York is the largest settlement in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a major hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre, a status it maintained well into the 20th century. During the Second World War, York was bombed as part of the Baedeker Blitz. Although less affected by bombing than other northern cities, several historic buildings were gutted and restoration efforts continued into the 1960s.
The economy of York is dominated by services. The University of York and National Health Service are major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. In 2016, York became sister cities with the Chinese city of Nanjing, as per an agreement signed by the Lord Mayor of York, focusing on building links in tourism, education, science, technology and culture. Today, the city is a popular tourist attraction, especially for international visitors from America, Germany, France and China. In 2017, York became UK's first human rights city, which formalised the city's aim to use human rights in decision making." - info from Wikipedia.

Espiraleando con el humo... Última foto del "experimento"
Espirlaes infinitas que nos llevan en su delicado camino
hacia lugares remotos
Que nos deparará? No lo sabemos
solo que hay que seguir el camino de esta espiral sin fin
Crecer creciendo, todo es un proceso
En breve, creceré más.
Sin miedo y sin dudas,
pero siempre con respeto.

Forms of Nature #11: Frogs
digital collage
by Kenneth Rougeau
For my cousin Jaimie.
The eleventh image in the new "Forms of Nature" series of digital collages I'm currently constructing. Prints are available in my Etsy store (artfamilia). At present, I'm planning several individual pieces and at least one triptych for the set. More to come soon!
Scanair was formed in June 1961 to act as the charter arm of Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), similar to the relationship of Condor and Lufthansa. The holiday travel market was becoming popular, and Scanair was to take advantage. Its initial fleet consisted of two ex-SAS Douglas DC-7s for charter flights to Spain and Morocco; this was later extended to the United States.
Jet aircraft were acquired in 1965, the same year Scanair became wholly owned by SAS, in the form of DC-8s and Boeing 727s. The DC-8s extended Scanair's range to worldwide destinations, mainly ones in Asia, while the 727s took over European routes. The airline became very popular as the holiday market reached its heyday in the 1980s, so much that Scanair had to lease 747s from SAS to deal with demand. Airbus A300s were purchased by the airline as its first owned wide-body aircraft, but these lacked the range to reach Asia, and at the time were prohibited from flying transatlantic routes; the A300s were subsequently replaced by McDonnell Douglas DC-10s. DC-10s became the primary equipment of the airline.
Though Scanair posted record profits in the 1980s, the near collapse of the European charter industry following the First Gulf War left the airline nearly bankrupt. As it was becoming a drain on SAS, it was sold to Danish charter operator Conair. The two airlines merged to form Premiair in 1994.
This tiny toy shows Scanair's last livery before the merger, which was similar in titling to SAS. This DC-10 is among the smallest exhibits in the Poletto Collection--it's not much bigger than a quarter.
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, straddling the Bosporus Strait, the boundary between Europe and Asia. It is considered the country's economic, cultural and historic capital. The city has a population of over 15 million residents, comprising 19% of the population of Turkey, and is the most populous city in Europe[c] and the world's sixteenth-largest city.
The city was founded as Byzantium in the 7th century BCE by Greek settlers from Megara. In 330 CE, the Roman emperor Constantine the Great made it his imperial capital, renaming it first as New Rome (Ancient Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη Nea Rhomē; Latin: Nova Roma) and then finally as Constantinople (Constantinopolis) after himself. In 1930, the city's name was officially changed to Istanbul, the Turkish rendering of εἰς τὴν Πόλιν eis tḕn Pólin 'to the City', the appellation Greek speakers used since the 11th century to colloquially refer to the city.
The city served as an imperial capital for almost 1600 years: during the Byzantine (330–1204), Latin (1204–1261), late Byzantine (1261–1453), and Ottoman (1453–1922) empires. The city grew in size and influence, eventually becoming a beacon of the Silk Road and one of the most important cities in history. The city played a key role in the advancement of Christianity during Roman/Byzantine times, hosting four of the first seven ecumenical councils before its transformation to an Islamic stronghold following the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 CE—especially after becoming the seat of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1517.[ In 1923, after the Turkish War of Independence, Ankara replaced the city as the capital of the newly formed Republic of Turkey.
Istanbul was the 2010 European Capital of Culture. The city has surpassed London and Dubai to become the most visited city in the world, with more than 20 million foreign visitors in 2023. The historic centre of Istanbul is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city hosts the headquarters of numerous Turkish companies, accounting for more than thirty percent of the country's economy.
Neolithic artifacts, uncovered by archeologists at the beginning of the 21st century, indicate that Istanbul's historic peninsula was settled as far back as the 6th millennium BCE. That early settlement, important in the spread of the Neolithic Revolution from the Near East to Europe, lasted for almost a millennium before being inundated by rising water levels. The first human settlement on the Asian side, the Fikirtepe mound, is from the Copper Age period, with artifacts dating from 5500 to 3500 BCE. In the European side, near the point of the peninsula (Sarayburnu) there was a settlement during the early 1st millennium BCE. Modern authors have linked it to the possible Thracian toponym Lygos, mentioned by Pliny the Elder as an earlier name for the site of Byzantium.
There is evidence suggesting there were settlements around the region dating as far back as 6700 BC, and it is hard to define if there was any settlement on exact spot at city proper established, but earliest records about city proper begins around 660 BC when Greek settlers from the Attic town of Megara colonized the area and established Byzantium on the European side of the Bosphorus. It fell to the Roman Republic in 196 BC, and was known as Byzantium in Latin until 330, when the city, soon renamed as Constantinople, became the new capital of the Roman Empire. During the reign of Justinian I, the city rose to be the largest in the western world, with a population peaking at close to half a million people. Constantinople functioned as the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which effectively ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Constantinople then became the capital of the Ottoman Turks.
The population had declined during the medieval period, but as the Ottoman Empire approached its historical peak, the city grew to a population of close to 700,000 in the 16th century, once again ranking among the world's most popular cities. With the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, that country's capital moved from Constantinople to Ankara (previously Angora).

Bain Total (1987)
Regular edition, but kind of unique! The white colored tapes, Die Form tape stickers and Bain Total case stickers were only used for the very first BT tape releases starting around 1979. After that, Fichot started to use black and clear tapes with the K stickers on them, and then switched to Sony and Maxell tapes near the end.
My guess is that he may have come across some old stock of white tapes and stickers and decided to use them up????
Our principal violinists, cellist and harpsichordist were at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington, on Wednesday 20th September 2017 for a workshop on performance and interpretation. We greatly enjoyed working with the orchestra and soloists on three concertos – Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041, Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto in D major ‘The Goldfinch’ RV428 and John Garth’s Cello Concerto No 2 in B flat major. It was an intensive workshop focusing on period interpretation, style and performance practices, and at the end of the workshop the orchestra presented a concert to an invited audience of students from other schools in the area. We were delighted to be involved in this workshop to engage and explore this wonderful music with enthusiastic young players.
We’re grateful to Dr Simon Fleming (Curriculum Leader for Music) and the staff at QESFC for inviting us to lead this workshop. QESFC has a thriving culture of music education and participation, and we’re delighted to have been involved in supporting their music learning.
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

Vladimir Montufar - Esculturas e Instalaciones
19 de octubre hasta el 28 de noviembre de 2010.
La Embajada de Francia y el Museo de Arte de El Salvador presentan la obra de Vladimir Montúfar con una selección de instalaciones, esculturas y pinturas, obras que en su mayoría llevan como constante la figura, especialmente la forma humana, dentro de un lenguaje que se articula con el apoyo de recursos técnicos contemporáneos, como la iluminación, el vapor y otros.
“Este primer encuentro con el público salvadoreño me permite dar una visión de uno de los universos que me habitan y que me posicionan como artista y como observador de la humanidad.
La temática de la exposición esta basada principalmente en una serie de instalaciones que resumen de una forma global las preocupaciones, las angustias, las tensiones y esperanzas que me ligan al ser humano. A esto el artista lo denomina como Historias numeradas de tal manera que permitan al observador ubicarse e interpretar a su manera el universo que lo rodea: la ecología, la violencia, las interrogantes de la vida.
En las esculturas los elementos se simplifican, siguiendo una misma temática de fragilidad y de fuerza en el ser humano. Dimensionando al hombre como en Personaje en Caída y Desequilibrio.
La exhibición incluye pinturas que son el vehículo que permite al artista dar un reconocimiento personal a todos los seres que han dejado huellas en la humanidad, aquellos científicos, músicos, escritores, artistas que nos permiten pacificarnos y seguir creyendo en ese avance positivo del ser humano.
La abstracción me permite abordar universos metafísicos que concretizan a groso modo el trabajo de esos insignes personajes.

This was a fun multi-exposure shot to work on. I wanted to go for a collage aesthetic while exploring the traditional forms of Ancient Greek Vase artwork.
This shot was accomplished entirely in camera!
I shot the silhouette of the vase first, then I moved the rear standard of the camera to line up the model in different poses into the appropriate places on the vase.
For those who are interested, the vase was shot with Tungsten "Hot Lights," while the model was shot with a 3 strobe lighting setup.
After I "souped" the film I contact printed it in my darkroom and scanned the print.
Thanks to my model Erin Croley for her excellent work on this project!

The stream flowing from Bedworth Slough forms a brook which flows south, under Newtown Road, between the housing to Rectory Drive and then continues beside Silk Weavers Way to cross beneath the A444. It runs parallel to Bowling Green Lane, crossing School Lane to feed the moat of Tudor Court, beneath the M6 and thence across the fields behind St Giles Church. Here it is joined by the Breach Brook. It passes back under the A444 to Sowe Meadows Nature Park, under Rowley's Green Lane, the railway line and finally Grindle Road, where it is just visible as it is culverted beneath the housing and adjacent Coventry canal, thence across Longford Community Nature Reserve to the Longford Road. From here it emerges into the green oasis of Longford Park to exit not far from Alderman's Green Road.
The River Sowe is a river in Warwickshire and West Midlands. It is a tributary of the River Avon, and flows into it just south of Stoneleigh about 5 miles (8 km) south of Coventry. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long.
The Sowe rises in Bedworth 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north of Coventry. Its route takes it through Exhall near to Junction 3 of the M6 motorway and the A444 road, to the northern and then the eastern suburbs of Coventry, in particular the districts of Longford, Wood End, Walsgrave, Binley, Willenhall and near the village of Baginton. Near Baginton the river has a large steep bank on its southern side and the remains of the Roman Lunt Fort have been found at the top of this bank.
There is an established local park called the Sowe Valley Footpath that runs alongside the river for 8½ miles from Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area to Stonebridge Meadows Local Nature. It also runs through Wyken Slough Local Nature Reserve, Wyken Croft Nature Park and Stoke Floods Local Nature Reserve.
Cullman County has one of the most unique yoga studios in the United States. The activities at the studio combines traditional aspects of physical Yoga with Christian and spiritual elements such as scripture readings, devotional thoughts, and biblical verbiage during sessions.
Started by Debbie Leopard, Cullman's Santosha Yoga came about as a dream fulfilled for this long-time yoga practitioner. Santosha means 'Contentment' in the ancient Sanskrit language.
Founded by Leopard and a partner in July 2014, the original yoga studio was just that: a common yoga studio. After the partnership dissolved and Debbie re-dedicated her life to Christ in August 2014, she transitioned the studio into a Faith-based facility offering a wide range of classes ranging from Kids Yoga to Beginner Yoga to BUTI (Yoga combined with Tribal dance).
Cullman's Santosha Yoga also offers FAITHFLO classes which allows students to Praise Christ through the movements of their bodies.
Debbie has been consistently practicing various forms of yoga for 19 years. She has been teaching the art for 6 years. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) through the Yoga Alliance with 200 hours of accredited training.
Cullman Today recently visited Debbie at her studio and learned about her history and enthusiasm for yoga:
"I love the way my body feels after a good class. Relaxed and restored. I love the energy boost I get. But most of all the peacefulness of it. Non-competitive just letting your body stretch to its limits. And as a teacher to see a student achieve a goal. Well that's the icing on the cake."
That first image is of Bernice. She is a 90 years old student at the yoga center. If she can do this, so can you!
