St Peter's church in Hook Norton is a fine medieval building, Norman in origin (traces remain visible in the chancel) but in appearance belonging mostly to the later Middle Ages with a spacious late 14th century nave and a stately pinnacled Perpendicular west tower from c1500.
The interior is flooded with light, thanks to minimal use of stained glass and white-rendered walls, though we are reminded how different the original effect would have been by the fragmentary 15th century mural over the chancel arch where a pair of angels and male saints (very rustic work) can be seen against a red ground, no doubt originally supporting figures formerly flanking the carved crucifixion group of of the lost rood screen.
The stained glass in the east window is Victorian and nothing special, but that in the south aisle is a far more inspiring piece, a late work by the studio of Morris & Co serving as a WWI memorial.
The most important artefact in the church however is the 11th century font, a cylindrical drum carved with figures in relief, coarse in quality but fascinating in subject, with a group of Adam & Eve with the Tree of Knowledge, followed by several rather pagan-looking figures from the zodiac.

Last night I fell and sprained my wrist. This is a macro shot of the Velcro hooks of the wrist splint I'll be wearing for the next several days.
Carrick Camera Club went to the Saltes Islands on Saturday 19th of May. A great day was had by all and nice photos were gotten. On the way home we took a stop at Hook Head to take some photos.
This area is renowned as the location of Hook Lighthouse. Hook Head is the oldest lighthouse in Ireland, and one of the oldest in Europe still operating. In the 5th century St Dubhan set up a fire beacon on the headland as a warning to mariners. After his death his monks kept the beacon going for another 6 centuries. Between 1170 and 1184 the Normans built the present lighthouse. It was built from local limestone and burned lime mixed with ox’s blood. Even today traces of the blood-lime mix can be seen coming through the paintwork. The walls are 9 to 13 feet thick and 80 feet above the ground. In 1665 King Charles II granted letters patent to Sir Robert Reading to erect six lighthouses on the coast of Ireland, one of which was at Hook Head on the site of the older lighthouse, the others being at Howth, one to mark the land, the other to lead over the bar; the Old Head of Kinsale, Barry Oge's castle (now Charlesfort, near Kinsale), and the Isle of Magee.

the "Gamma Hook" imagined by Guru Kaper Becot, a great tool to stop the line and hold the kite. The red mark on the line indicats 100 meters. The stronger the pull the tighter it gets on the hook.
Shot in a rundown barn in Newark, DE. Really liked the textures of the rusted metal against the aged wood.
Improvised fish hooks using a small safety pin and a inner strand of paracord. The gouge was made out of walnut and a inner strand of paracord.
Made by blacksmith who was demostrating his craft and selling stuff at the local artisan market recently.
Early c1100 Norman bucket font of oolitic limestone, designed for total immersion , stands on a more recent base. It has a lead lining, and a recent fixed wooden surround on the upper surface
Round the upper part of the bowl, within a border, is a beaded wavy line (snakes ?) with foliage at intervals on either side and a half lozenge underneath. Round the lower part, within a border, is a series of roundels with circular medallions.
The figures show Adam and Eve (ADAM and EVA inscribed on their chests in mixed Roman and Lombardic capitals) , the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and signs of the Zodiac (Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) , Aquarius & Aries)
Adam has a spade in his right hand and a rake held up in his left hand. Eve, who has plaited hair, holds an apple in her right hand and a fig leaf in her left.
Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) the archer portrayed as a centaur, with the body, hind legs and tail of a horse and human torso, is turned away from Aquarius, but the upper, human part is looking back and holds a bow with a short arrow, which he is about to discharge. This combination suggests Sagittarius as the champion of all that is right and good, driving away the evil influence as represented by the flood which would destroy the world, released by Aquarius (the water carrier) who has a hooked stick over his shoulder with 2 water-bags hanging from it, and carries an axe in front of him., The destructive character of the water of the flood is thus contrasted with the regenerative power of the water of baptism.
Aries is typical of the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world. He is standing on a flat pedestal and below this is a tree with foliage extending on either side from the top of the trunk, suggesting the tree of life. The remaining figure is Serpens, represented as a two headed serpent, with one head biting the other. This is a symbol o f the powers of evil which war against one another and bring about their own destruction. (or possibly the symbol of eternity)

Red hook Crit,
Fixed gear race in NYC, pretty amazing to watch guys bomb down the straight into the hairpin at the end, brakeless, and in big packs.
Loads of stacks.
This commissioned Generation Two Blast off started as a FansProject "flameblast" I painted the signature purple camo patterns, but added a thin lighter purple stripe around the design. I also customized the head, adding the ears and some other stuff.
