Lyddington Bede House is a historic house in Rutland, part of a former palace of the Bishops of Lincoln, and later used as an almshouse. It is next to St Andrew's Church in the village of Lyddington.
The medieval Diocese of Lincoln was the largest bishopric in England, extending from the River Thames to the Humber Estuary. The Norman king's often hunted in the nearby royal forest of Rockingham; the Bishops of Lincoln, influenced by the pleasures of the chase and the proximity to royalty, developed their estate at Lyddington just to the north. This was conveniently near to the centre of the diocese, and became an important seat in ecclesiastical administration.
The existing building is probably only one range of the original palace, most likely built by Bishop Alnwick (1436-49) and altered by Bishops Russell (1480-94) and Smith (1496-1514).
After the Reformation, ownership passed to the Cecil family who made it their private house. By 1600 it had passed to Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter, son of Lord Burghley, who converted it into an almshouse for twelve poor bedesmen and it continued in this use until 1930. A feature is the former bishop's Great Chamber with its beautifully carved ceiling cornice.
Cincinnati (/ˌsɪnsɪˈnæti/ SIN-sih-NAT-ee) is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the government seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers. The city drives the Cincinnati–Middletown–Wilmington combined statistical area, which had a population of 2,172,191 in the 2010 census making it Ohio's largest metropolitan area. With a population of 301,301, Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and 65th in the United States. Its metropolitan area is the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on increase of economic output and it is the 28th-biggest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S. Cincinnati is also within a half day's drive of sixty percent of the United States populace.
In the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was an American boomtown in the heart of the country. Throughout much of the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 U.S. cities by population, surpassed only by New Orleans and the older, established settlements of the United States eastern seaboard, as well as being the sixth-biggest city for a period spanning 1840 until 1860. As Cincinnati was the first city founded after the American Revolution, as well as the first major inland city in the country, it is regarded as the first purely "American" city.
Cincinnati developed with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than east coast cities in the same period. However, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on strong commodity exploitation, economics, and the railroads, and St. Louis, which for decades after the Civil War served as the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to three major sports teams: the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball; the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League; and FC Cincinnati, currently playing in the second division United Soccer League but moving to Major League Soccer (Division 1) in 2019. The city's largest institution of higher education, the University of Cincinnati, was founded in 1819 as a municipal college and is now ranked as one of the 50 largest in the United States. Cincinnati is home to historic architecture with many structures in the urban core having remained intact for 200 years. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as the "Paris of America", due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.
Credit for the data above is given to the following website:
This guy is only about 1/2 inch top to bottom. I lay flat on my (rather round) belly in the middle of my neighbor's lawn to get this shot. Yes, I was under the influence, but fortunately, not of drink or drugs...

Doorway
Art Nouveau building, built in 1900.
Architects: Marcell Komor and Dezső Jakab.
I guess Art Nouveau and Eclectic style are mixed here. Facade, portal and windows on facade are rather Art Nouveau style than courtyard - it's more eclectic, mostly Neo-Renaissance with a slight Art Nouveau influence.
Lakóház, épült 1900-ban.
Építészek: Komor Marcell és Jakab Dezső.
A szecesszió főleg a homlokzaton, az ottani ablakokon, a kapun, az oromzaton és az épület tömegén figyelhető meg - az udvar és a gang inkább eklektikus, főleg neoreneszánsz szerintem.

From now on # I will host "Lot No.402_".
The work of Leonardo da Vinci who was sleeping.
That is the number when it was put up for auction.
No sign was written on the work.
So this work couldn't conclude that it was his work.
However # as a result of various appraisals # it was exposed to the sun.
A work that no one notices. A work that speaks quietly without a title.
I will continue to strive to provide it to many people in various ways.

Main story
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One # to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other # to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days # staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow # a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left # I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However # I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous # unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

11
Family photos. I can not take pictures with others. The inside of the subject.

1 Photo exhibition up to that point. Did you want to go?
2 Well # what is an exhibition that you want to visit even if you go there?
3 Challenge to exhibit one work every month before opening a solo exhibition at the Harajuku Design Festa.
4 works are materials and silhouettes. Similar to fashion.
5 Who is your favorite artist? What is it? Make it clear.
6 Creating a collage is exactly the same as taking photos. As I wrote in the interview # it is the same as writing a novel.
7 I want to show it to someone # but I do not make a piece to show it. Aim for the work you want to decorate your own room as in the photo.
8 What is copycat? Nowadays # it is suspected to be beaten. There is something called Mimesis?

My shutter feeling.
Today's photo.
It is a photo taken from Eurostar.
This video is an explanation.
I went to Milan in 2005.
At that time # I went from Milan to Venice.
We took Eurostar into the transportation.
This photo was not taken from a very fast Eurostar.
When I changed the track # I took a picture at the moment I slowed down.
Is there a Japanese beside you?
Please have my video translated.

このロットナンバーは、眠っていたレオナルドダヴィンチの作品がオークションにかけらた際に付されたものです。
作品にはサインなどがいっさい記されていなかったため、彼の作品だと断定できませんでした。
しかし、様々な鑑定の結果、陽の光を浴びました。
誰にも気づかれない作品。肩書がなくとも静かに語りかける作品。
僕はこれから様々な形で、多くの皆様に提供できるよう努めてゆきます。

上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。
そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。
大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。
「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」
ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。
本編
人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。
ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。
もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。
二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。
再生だ。
明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。
それが再生の意味だ。
十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

２
間違いなくやってくる「2030年問題」にマスメディアは対処できるか
news.yahoo.co.jp/byline/sakai...
SNS氾濫への挑戦
宮崎さんのアンチテーゼ？
みなさんは何をやりたいのか？
例えば音楽をやりたいのに、再生回数に固執している、多くの人に見られることが目的ではないはず。
あなたは何を音楽で伝えたいのか？
ヒットチャートに食い込み、人気者になることが、あなたの夢なのか？
っていうことを、基本的なテーマをSNS氾濫の時代に訴えたかったのではないか？
だから、万が一、監督のアプローチが失敗した場合、興行成績が届きそうになかった場合、
簡単に言って、元が取れそうでない場合は、宣伝始動ではないか？
と感じました😃

I shot this on what would have been Paul Caponigro's 92nd birthday, and less than a month after we lost him. I've felt his influence heavily the last five years, and his passing has weighed on me.
I don't feel this particular shot is very reminiscent of him, but he was on my mind while I was out shooting that evening, and it made me look that little bit harder for what I could find within the scenes. In this one I was struck by how the tumbling shapes in the shadows seemed to reflect my own feelings in the moment, about the end of my year, losses, the passage of the holidays, that particular night out alone amongst the celebratory crowds, and the current state of the world. And that aspect is rather Paul.
This night was also notable to me because I felt myself starting to see more naturally again. I've struggled creatively the last year or more, but was encouraged this night by the realization that I was picking up on visual elements better and placing them with less conscious effort. I was tapping into my lost flame of recognition a little.

I have often wondered how folks take such moody portraits, so I had a play, this is my real fist attempt at using light to create a mood. I'm sure now that I have tried it I will be trying lots more things, I am still learning so I will improve.
Sometimes we all have battles with our conscience, I have them pretty much everyday, I am without a doubt my own worst enemy. So it feels like I have my own devils, maybe I do ............

(There's a dragging sound, and a thump.)
Sean: My god! How did you do that?
Nicole: Sean? What's wrong?
911: Ma'am?
Sean: How did you pick me up like that?
Nicole: Sean? What's going on?
Sean: Honey, you won't believe it. Kiley just picked me up like I was a doll or something.
Nicole: That's impossible!
911: Ma'am?
Nicole: My husband was a football player. He's a big guy. Over 6 feet and about 200 pounds. He said our fifteen-year-old daughter just picked him up like a doll!
911: Ma'am, I will keep the units rolling. There are some drugs that cause people to exhibit great feats of strength. Can your husband exit the room?
Nicole: Sean? Can you open the door?
Sean: They've got a lot of stuff in front of it. Girls, why did you do this?
(There's a scraping sound from inside the room, and grunting, as Sean starts to move things, and the girls are giggling, sounding like glass windchimes.)
911: Ma'am, what is happening, now?
Nicole: My husband is moving furniture away from the door. I guess they barricaded themselves in there while they did that Mia makeover.
911: Ma'am, please repeat what you just said.
Nicole: Sean's moving furniture --
911: No, ma'am. The very last thing you said. Did you say a name?
Nicole: Oh, yes. Mia, this influencer. She has a makeover that everybody is doing, and the girls--
911: Ma'am, are you able to leave the house?
Nicole: I'm sorry?
Sean: That's okay, girls. I can do this on my -- Ow! Hey, Skyler! Take it easy!
911: Ma'am we're receiving reports that people who have taken the drug being sold by this Mia Murony are behaving aggressively.
Nicole: Sean? Are you okay?
Sean: Yeah, it's just that ... Skyler nearly broke my arm pulling me away from the door.
(The girls' tinkling laughter follows his remark.)
911: Ma'am, I want you to leave your house and run, do not walk, RUN to the intersection of Maple and Fremont. Officers will assist you there.
Nicole: My husband is with the girls. Sean, can you open the door?
Sean: Come on, girls. Let's get all of this stuff out of the way. Don't you want to show your mom how the makeover worked?
Kiley: It DID work, didn't it, Dad? I'm beautiful now, aren't I?
Sean: You've always been beautiful, honey.
(There's a sharp sound of flesh hitting flesh and Sean cries out in pain.)
Kiley: (sounding animalistic) LIAR!
The Moskvich 402 appeared in 1956. It replaced the 400-Series and had a complete new body, influenced by the mid 1950s British style.
The technics were still based on the pre-war Opel Kadett.
The 402 was replaced by the 407 with the same body but with a restyled grille and a more powerful engine.
The Moskvich 403 was debuting in 1961.
Export versions had a lot of luxury trim and were often painted in an attractive two-tone colour pattern.

From about the 1890s onwards Australia artists increasing came under the spell of two largely Parisian influences: Impressionism (which we won't look at here specifically because it is so well known), and Art Nouveau.
The Impressionist stream has certainly had the wider impact, but to me the most interesting developments came from those influenced by the highly fashionable Art Nouveau, which found its way into painting, sculpture and architecture.
Here are three very beautiful expressions of this influence in Australian art at the turn of the 20th century. The statue is by Bertram Mackennal and here is a short video introducing his work:
Hamilton Asphalts operate this Freightliner FL112C tractor unit , which I have previously seen pulling a bitumen tanker or low loader. This was the first occasion that I had seen it with a "tipulator" semi-trailer in tow, so capturing an image was a must!
US-based Freightliner Trucks were bought by Mercedes-Benz some years ago now and some of the first signs of this marriage was the use of the drivers cab that had been hitherto used on MBs middle-weight trucks, on "conventional" (bonneted) Freightliner trucks. The result was rather pleasing in my opinion.

Studio 26 assignment - Nature Morte.
I chose this image for my final submission as it's the one where I achieved the best lighting in camera. It needed very little work in processing.
Some nice late afternoon light manages to exert influences over the Islands on Damodar River at Maithon West Bengal.
The development and history of Lucerne have been influenced heavily by its geographical situation in Central Switzerland. Situated at the lower end of Lake Lucerne between the Alps with high mountains and pass roads and the Swiss midlands, the city of Lucerne was predestined to be a center of commerce (like Zurich and Geneva). Due to travelling merchants, foreign (especially Italian) influence was particularly strong. Excellent accessability of natural monuments in Central Switzerland made Lucerne an important touristic destination.
The origins of Lucerne are not very clear. Historians tend to think that the name is most probably derived from Luciaria, an old word for weir-basket. If this is true, Lucerne started as a fishermen's village. The latin word lucerna [oil-lamp] would then be an attempt of later generations to make forget the unspectacular origins and give the name a new, more shiny notion.
In 750 a monastery consecrated to St. Leodegar is founded near the original village of Lucerne (today Hofkirche). In the 9th century the monastery St. Leodegar becomes dependent of the abbey of Murbach (Alsace).
A bridge over river Reuss is first mentioned in 1168. It is unknown, whether there has been a bridge in town before. Lucerne as a marketplace is of local importance only, however, until the St. Gotthard trade route is opened in the 13th century.
In 1178 a priest at St. Peter's Chapel (the chapel giving the name to Chapel Bridge) is appointed to take care of the population of Lucerne.
Between 1230 and 1240 a new technique of suspending wooden catwalks in steep rocks allowes to overcome Schöllenen canyon and openes the way for the St. Gotthard pass route connecting the Lake of Lucerne region with Milan, Italy. The route has since been of major importance in commercial as well as military traffic between Germany and Italy. Goods can now be transported with mules over the pass and shipped with relatively big boats on Lake Lucerne. Lucerne, being the only city on the lake, becomes an important marketplace and provides storage capacity for goods. Trade over the new St. Gotthard pass route is growing fast and makes Lucerne an important market place in the 13th century.
First ramparts are built between 1230 and 1240 to protect the town and Franciscan friars settle in Lucerne by 1240. They act as a counter point to the conservative Benedictine Hof monastery.
The city gets its own seal in 1241. The political organization of the city is described in a document from 1252: There is a Schultheiss [mayor], an executive council consisting of 36 citizens and a grand council. In 1300 a first town hall is built.
Before highways and railways, before pioneers....the land we know as the United States was truly a vast wilderness. To protect these last remaining areas, in 1984 Congress created the Paria Canyon - Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Coyote Buttes' outstanding scenery, desert wildlife, colorful history, and opportunities for primitive recreation will remain free from the influence of man and are protected in this condition for future generations. Its 112,500 acres beckon adventurers who yearn for solitude, scenic splendor, and the chance to explore one of the most beautiful geologic formations in the world.
A permit is required to visit Coyote Buttes. Due to overwhelming demand, Coyote Buttes North ("The Wave") permits are available through a lottery. For additional information visit www.blm.gov/programs/recreation/permits-and-passes/lotter....

Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

Oh, except that Rosie came along with me for a late night excursion and we had a most interesting conversation. As we looked out at the inky stillness she quietly asked me, "Would you kill me for 8 million dollars?" I said, "oh my god of course not!...Wait, how much money?" She repeated the amount. I said, "I'm just kidding, I would NOT kill you for any amount of money in the world. What made you even think of such a thing?" My little girl replied, "I don't know, just popped into my head, what about Dad, would you kill him for 8 million?" ....Well,....let me think about that one :)

Beautiful MG TF replica in British Racing Green in Akaroa in New Zealand. The French tricolore flies in the background revealing a significant French influence in this historic little harbour town.
A French sea captain agreed in 1838 to purchase land in the area from local chiefs, and settlers arrived in New Zealand from Rochefort in France in 1840. On arrival they discovered that the British had in the meantime named the area the Banks Peninsula, after the famous naturalist Joseph Banks, who had accompanied James Cook. Given that they had set sail on the understanding that they owned the land, the French were allowed to settle, and they originally named the town Port Louis-Philippe.

The island is 50km long and 20km wide. The coast undulates like the edge of a stamp, with thousands of little bays, fjords and creeks. Although Menorca is a small island with a modest population, centuries of invasion and continental influence have left the island with a rich heritage. For visitors seeking a little culture, Menorca has plenty to offer...The island has a fantastic amount of stone age buildings, the highest density per square km anywhere in the world. These are, to some extent, a mystery, and largely unexcavated or unresearched. The Romans came in 123 AD, but, surprisingly, unlike elsewhere in the Mediterranean, have left little to remember them by, except the name. They called the group of islands the Balearics because of the locals' talent in the ballistic art of stone throwing and catapulting. The designations Majorca and Minorca obviously come from the Latin for large and small. The Stone Age way of life continued until the Arabs came in 903 AD. They ruled the roost until the Spaniards first came in 1287. Much architecture of originally Arab influence is still around, but the most influential period was the 18th Century when the British ruled, using the enormous harbour as a strategic base for many battles. The British finally gave up the island in exchange for Gibraltar. The Arabs starting farming the land in the Middle Ages. This was a clever idea, as the walls protected the soil against wind. Do not be fooled into thinking that any building or round stone construction is a Stone Age burial monument, temple or dwelling. Modern day farmers have small shelters for their animals in the fields, also made of the local stones - these are a sort of wedding cake, tiered design.
From our apartment in Cala'n Bosch on the Spanish island of Menorca we found ourselves nestling between a spectacular coastline and the outstanding natural environments that have earned world-wide acclaim for Menorca. Walking here is almost like rock-climbing and the best footwear is trainers with a good tread. Hiking boots are too inflexible to get a hold on the little jags in the rocks, and my sandals make it too much like hard work, as well as being unsafe in parts. We hike along along the coast line and discover miles of untouched beaches and also an amount of stone age buildings. But this 'wedding cake' dwelling is probably made by modern famers for shelter.
Meer dan 4000 jaar geleden vestigden de eerste bewoners van Menorca zich in de grotten aan de rand van vruchtbare, tegen wind beschutte kloven. Vanaf het tweede millennium voor Christus werden voor het eerst stenen bouwwerken opgericht, zoals behuizingen in de vorm van een boot, onderaardse graven met stenen. Graven in een vorm van een boot, ronde huizen, torens en mysterieuze stenen tafels dateren van een latere periode - de restanten ervan zijn nog overal op het eiland te vinden. Het overzichtelijke Museu Municipal van Ciutadella geeft een goeie indruk van de prehistorische nederzettingen. Slecht 3km buiten de stad staat een langgerekt gebouw dat als omgekeerde boot op de velden ligt. Dit is de beroemde Naveta des Tudons, een van de oudste monumenten van het eiland. De eerste doden werden hier omstreeks 1400 v Christus bijgezet. Evens in de omgeving van Alaior bevindt zich het archeologisch park Torralba d'en Salort. U kunt hier een goede indruk krijgen van het geheel. Maar veel monumenten zijn nog steeds een raadsel en eigenlijk nooit goed onderzocht. Het stenentijdperk duurde voort tot de Moren kwamen 903 na Christus. In 1287 werden zij verdreven door de eerste Spanjaarden. Veel architectuur van de Moren is nog duidelijk zichtbaar. De Moren zijn begonnen met landbouw en de velden werden afgebakend door stenen muurtjes om o.a de grond te bescherem tegen de zeewind. Opzich een prima idee en van de dag gebruiken moderne boeren deze muurtjes nog steeds. Maar je moet niet denken dat elke stenengebouw uit het stenentijdperk komt. De moderne boeren bouwden schuilplaatsen voor hun vee met dezelfde soort stenen. Dit zijn stenen huizen in de vorm van een taart zoals hierboven te zien.
