A spur of the moment trip to Hook Head, beautiful night, clear skies and mild, would not think it was October.
Hook Head lighthouse, in the southeastern corner of Ireland, is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) operational lighthouse in the world. It was first used in the 5th century. The current structure was built between 1170 and 1184.
Had a traditional pair of shoes/slip-ons that I wore almost everyday while in India. And the soles were all worn out and falling off. So, went to the street side cobbler. Here he is using a straight hook awl (“a small pointed tool used for piercing holes, especially in leather.”)
Church of St Peter, Hook Norton Oxfordshire was first registered in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 922 AD. After 1066 the manor was given to a Saxon ruler Wigod whose daughter married Robert d’Oilly d1101 an important Norman knight who acquired large estates in the area and who built Oxford Castle in the 1070s . He was probably responsible for the early Norman church of cruciform design from which the impressive chancel survives. In 1129 his son / nephew founded the Augustinian Osney Abbey (prompted by his wife Edith Forne, who, to expiate the sins of her former life as the mistress of Henry I) . and endowed it with all the churches of his demesne manors, including Hook Norton church and land accompanying it.
The south nave arcades, with tall octagonal piers, and the south aisle, were built later in late 12c in the Decorated style, the south transept being rebuilt at the same time, and the chancel acquired a Decorated east window. The north transept was not rebuilt, but a north nave arcade of 4 bays with short octagonal piers, was built c.1300, with a later fifth bay
The nave & north aisle were rebuilt in 14c and the nave was heightened in 15c with clerestory windows and a five-light window over a new chancel arch, together with a Perpendicular west tower
The porch was rebuilt in 1825.
The treasure of the church is the early c1100 Norman bucket font with figures of Adam and Eve, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and signs of the Zodiac (Sagittarius , Aquarius & Aries) flic.kr/p/Q8mgx4
There is also the village's original fire engine (the Sentinel) last used in 1896. flic.kr/p/2b5FZBh

This was taken in the kitchen at Crooked Creek Research Station. I was poking around for images and was struck by the beautiful curve of this industrial sized aluminum bread hook. It didn't take me long to realize that the aspects of this found object that I wanted to bring out were going to require me to create a still life. So what you see is an aluminum bread hook, sitting on top of a big aluminum mixing bowl (I think some carefully placed duct tape was involved in getting it to stand up), and placed in front of a giant aluminum cookie sheet. There was no special lighting, just one overhead and some window light. It was one of those situations where polaroid 52 was at its best, separating out the midtones, and bring the subtle scuffs and scratches to life. After I took this I felt like the ghost of Edward must have been standing there with me giving hints.
Detail from abandoned farm, Lofoten.
Just a snap through the front-door. Didnt want to go inside because the structure was hanging on a door, first floor was on its way down.
Edit: Crop/straighten in ACR. Then in perfect effects 9 I used a detail brush on the right hook, before adding a background with a 30-40% opacity (masked out the hook to the right).

In recent years Peter has been involved in several musical collaborations, currently creating music with his own band ‘Peter Hook and the Light’.

Been wanting to post more Friendship Faire shots of the Tangled section but every time I start... that bald cap tho. I totally understand why... it's only 110° outside right now. So, I'll clean you up Mr. Hook Hand in post. No more double eyebrows for you.
