Parcevall Hall Gardens are a lasting testament to the remarkable insight of Sir William Milner (1893-1960), 8th Baronet of Nun Appleton, nr York; who in 1927 began on a project to rebuild the derelict 16th /early 17th century shell of Parcevall Hall at Skyreholme, near Appletreewick in North Yorkshire.
Sir William, although standing at a formidable 6’7”, had the reputation of being a gentle giant and despite his title, and having HRH Queen Mary, a frequent visitor to Parcevall Hall, as his Godmother, he was a reluctant socialite.
The final major project of Sir William’s lifetime was as a founder member and second Honorary Director of the Northern Horticultural Society (1955-60), pioneering the establishment and development of Harlow Carr Gardens, near Harrogate.
Once completed, the Hall was to become Sir William’s home for thirty years and he continued to develop the gardens up to his death. Sir William took full advantage of the geography to create a unique garden that provides year round interest.
As a gardener Sir William chose his site wisely. At the top of the gardens the alkaline soil overlays the limestone rock and at the foot of the hill the soil is acid over gritstone, which makes it ideal for a wide range of species and many of Sir William’s hybrid rhododendrons.
For the horticulturist an extensive range of specialist plants flourish throughout the year. This includes an interesting collection of old apple varieties. A wide variety of alpine and woodland plants, unusual perennials and many specimen trees and shrubs.
Visitors will find formal terraces provide vantage points from where they can pause to appreciate the stunning rocky outcrop of Simons Seat
The structured areas are balanced with woodlands that are a haven for wildlife, inter-linked with many garden rooms to discover on the way. For the energetic, a Cliff Walk overlooking the limestone valley of Trollers Gill provides a dramatic vista.
After Sir William’s death the gardens declined up to the mid 1980s. A restoration program commenced; forever changing the gardens are enjoying a vibrant renaissance having been returned to its former glory
But the work does not stop there, the gardens continue to evolve.
The Hall itself is not open to garden visitors and since 1963, has been used by the Bradford Diocese as a retreat house and conference centre; its architectural features can be appreciated at close range from several vantage points.
The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you. #rilke
NASA's InSight lander deployed its Wind and Thermal Shield on Feb. 2 (Sol 66). The shield covers InSight's seismometer, which was set down onto the Martian surface on Dec. 19. For the past several weeks, NASA's InSight lander has been making adjustments to the seismometer it set on the Martian surface on Dec. 19. Now it's reached another milestone by placing a domed shield over the seismometer to help the instrument collect accurate data. The seismometer will give scientists their first look at the deep interior of the Red Planet, helping them understand how it and other rocky planets are formed.

📜 The year was 13 BCE. Lucius Cornelius Balbus, proconsul in Roman Africa, was arriving in quite peculiar fashion to the dedication ceremony for his newly completed theatre in Rome's Campus Martius area. The means of arrival happened to be by boat. Normally, disembarking would occur roughly three-quarters of a kilometer south of the Theatre of Balbus. On that day, however, the Tiber had flooded quite significantly, sending its overflow deep into the former and occasionally recurring floodplain of the Fields of Mars.

Just found out this sold at the recent Harris Collective show in Elora.
It's an 11x14 ballpoint pen (with some brush pen) version of "Insight" posted earlier here, done after that one sold.
Unfortunately this reproduction isn't the best - doesn't do justice to the detail of pen lines.
I miss this car. Unfortunatly, I was bitten by the photography shadow while taking this.. guess I should have paid more attention. 01-11-2002

Installation Management Command’s Acting Pacific Region Director, Gregory Kuhr, visited Camp Zama March 12 during a tour of Army installations in the Asia and Pacific region. Kuhr was escorted by Col. Joy Curriera and Command Sgt. Maj. Rosalba Dumont-Carrion, the commander and command sergeant major of U.S. Army Garrison Japan, respectively. Kuhr received a briefing on the comprehensive mission of USAG Japan during an office call with Curriera. He also toured the installation visiting several locations such as the Camp Zama Co-Generation Boiler Plant, the incinerator and the Sagamihara Family Housing Area to tour houses on that installation.
