The Sackler Crossing, installed in 2006, gives easy access to some of Kew’s less visited areas. The black granite walkway leads you over the water along a curving path that mimics the Lake’s rounded banks. On approaching the bridge, its walls appear to form a solid boundary that gradually begins to disappear when viewed sideways on.

Delaware.
Along with the Fulda, the Werra is one of the main source rivers of the Weser. The Werra is almost 300 km long and has its source in the south of Thuringia, in the Thuringian Slate Mountains, near the Rennsteig. Here at Lindenwerra it formed the former inner-German border. An incredible border system was installed by the former GDR.

lol... I'm a rock... no, you're a bear!
These two very playful Polar Bears housed in the Arctic exhibit of the Assiniboine Park Zoo Conservancy were soooo delighted to have their new swimming pool installed and full to play in and cool off! They are fully aware of the people watching them and they do love to entertain when they're in the mood to do so.

The Church of Edward the Confessor
Situated in the Market Place, Romford, RM1 3AB. The earliest known house of worship was built in 1177 and was known as St Andrew’s Chapel. This building was demolished in the 14th century after many years of neglect. A new church was erected towards the end of the 14th century and completed in 1410. This was dedicated to The Virgin Mary and Edward the Confessor. Originally built with a Nave, a Chancel and extended North Aisle. It also featured a brick tower for five bells. Later a gallery was built for a charity for orphaned children. In 1710 it was renamed St Edward’s School and was later moved to another part of Market Place in 1728.
The church building was still in use but again fell into disrepair then work on a new church on the same site was started in 1844 and in 1849 the last service was held in the old church, then it was demolished. Only Blore’s chapel remained and was used as a burial yard until 1953, when this was also demolished.
The new building was consecrated in 1850 by Bishop of Rochester, George Murray. He was resident of Danbury Palace, Danbury, Essex. Architect John Johnson designed the church (he also designed Alexandra Palace). The church was designed in ‘Gothic Style’ and built from Kentish ragstone, it also used materials from John Nash’s in Regent Street. There are many carved heads situated in the church and this is thought to be the explanation of their being there.
It did suffer some war damage, but only minor. The biggest loss was the bells were used in the war effort and in 1944 a set of chime bells and an electric clock were installed.
Since then, major renovation work was completed in1988 and again in 1992. A new organ was installed in 1979 and in 2001 a statue of Edward the confessor was installed in the main porch.
Legend
There is a legend that the name Havering, a district close by to Romford, was named after a connection to Edward the Confessor and St John the apostle in the form of a ring. This was commemorated in a stain glass window of 1407, in the old chapel. I believe that this window does not exist now but a more modern one was installed in 1850 the 600th anniversary of the church.
This is the first of three postings.
Le musée est installé dans l'édifice gothique monumental qui abritait l'hôpital des Chevaliers de Saint-Jean. Sa construction a été commencée en 1440 et achevée à l'époque du grand maître d'Aubusson (1476-1503).
Il abrite des œuvres d'art de Rhodes et des îles voisines, de l'époque préhistorique à l'époque protobyzantine et jusqu'à l'époque des Chevaliers, qui composent une image d'une culture cosmopolite, vivante et continue.
The precise origin of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain. The two uprisings against Russian authorities in 1831 and 1863 was the beginnings of putting up symbolic crosses.
During the Soviet occupation (1944–1990), the Soviets bulldozed the site three separate times, but Lithuanian public would continue to bring crosses to the hill every night, risking harsh punishment.
Today, the hill is covered with more than 150,000 crosses, crucifixes, rosaries and statues.
LA COLLINE DES CROIX.
L’origine précise des croix laissées sur la colline est incertaine. Les deux soulèvements contre les autorités russes en 1831 et 1863 marquent le début de l’installation de croix symboliques.
Pendant l'occupation soviétique (1944-1990), les Soviétiques ont rasé le site au bulldozer à trois reprises, mais le public lituanien a continué à apporter des croix sur la colline chaque nuit, risquant de sévères sanctions.
Aujourd'hui, la colline est recouverte de plus de 150 000 croix, crucifix, chapelets et statues.

The crows around here are excellent at diving into waste bins and distributing the contents all over the pavement in their quest for food remnants!
This local Lidl supermarket have installed these new bins in their efforts to combat this problem and it seems to be working! Now all we need is for KFC and MacDonalds to do similar!
St George in the East
Situated in Cannon Street Road, Whitechapel, London E1 0BH.
It was built between 1714 and 1729 with the funding from an Act of Parliament. It is one of the six London churches designed and built by famous architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
The church was very expensive to build, at the cost of nearly £20k, it was designed to seat over 1,000 people.
In and around 1800, major work was done on the entrance steps. In 1820 a new vault was added, also the churchyard was drained. In 1829 the church was re-roofed. In 1871, box pews were removed in order to install new seating.
In 1880, 5 Venetian glass mosaics were installed in the apse, illustrating passion and resurrection scenes. The organ which was in poor state had to be rebuilt and between 1881-1886 this was completed by the firm Gray and Davidson.
In 1941 during the blitz the church received a direct hit from a bomb. The interior was destroyed by a severe fire that swept through the building. Fortunately the walls and towers survived intact. The mosaics were also saved but had to be restored.
A new interior was completed in 1964, designed by Arthur Bailey. The design, a much more simple plan.
Scenes from the film ‘The Long Good Friday’ were filmed in and around the churchyard.

Dans un décor bucolique...
J'éprouve toujours un grand plaisir en été lorsque je retrouve un juvénile de cette espèce. Avec un peu de chance, nous pouvons l'observer bien installer dans quelques-uns des endroits situés à belle distance où, s'apprêtant à pêcher, il nous donnera alors invariablement un bon spectacle en nous présentant différentes poses, tout aussi intéressantes les unes que les autres. Ce fut le cas l'année dernière, et l'occasion s'est présentée encore cette année lorsqu'il s'est installé sur la petite île faisant face au quai Nord. Une première pour moi de le voir sur cet îlot de végétation aux allures bucoliques, le même endroit où un jeune Grand Héron de l'année en a fait son lieu de pêche préféré. S'y étant absenté les derniers jours, ce jeune Bihoreau en a rapidement flairé la bonne affaire!!!

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Anglican_Cathedral:
The Cathedral Church of St Mary the Virgin and St Nicholas, or the Seoul Anglican Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Downtown Seoul, South Korea. It is the mother church of both the Anglican Church of Korea and the Diocese of Seoul. Its location is adjacent to Deoksugung, the British Embassy in Seoul, Seoul Metropolitan Council, and Seoul City Hall.
Construction began in 1922 to a design by English architect Arthur Stansfield Dixon.[1] The Cathedral is known for its Romanesque Revival architecture, together with its mosaic murals. In 1985, a Harrison & Harrison pipe organ was installed in the Cathedral's west end. Expansion of the Cathedral began in 1991 and was completed in 1996. In 1978, the Cathedral was designated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as Tangible Cultural Property No. 35.
These public toilets in the Queens gardens of Shepparton, Victoria, Australia, provided some not so light, but dark humour for the locals. The locals found it amusing that the council had installed these state-of-the-art self-cleaning toilets in the gardens. They seemed like a bright idea and although saving money and time for cleaning they lacked some artificial intelligence, or a couple of if then statements, if you are into programming. Although there is nothing funny about homelessness, a scenario like the auto wash scene in Fifth element occurred. Here is a link to the iconic scene www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkGsYEKOswU It is local legend or a Furphy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furphy ) depending on who you talk to, that some poor homeless person seeking shelter, tried to sleep in them over night. Before going on, it should be said that most locals laughed at councils’ decision to install the state-of-the-art convenience, not at the fate of the homeless man that wanted a good night’s sleep, out of the elements. As the story would go, the man entered the toilets in the evening, unbeknownst to him, the toilets self-locked at a certain time, locking him inside the cubical. This might be scary enough, but apparently, the thing self-cleans all surfaces overnight. A very handy thing if you are trying to avoid the worst toilets in Scotland as in Trainspotting www.youtube.com/watch?v=P88cV5mFWoI but not so good, if you are locked in the facility, and must try to sleep, all night covered in high grade disinfectant. Apparently, no amount of screaming and yelling would help him as there was no one around to hear him. Don’t be frightened though if you find your self in need of a public convenience, as the issues have been solved, albeit after the fact.
Una splendida opera (a mio giudizio) collocata nel cortile di accesso alla villa. Sembra una scena teatrale con le quinte costituite dal colonnato del cortile. Anche le discutibili riparazioni del muro diventano involontariamente parte dell'installazione.
Négombo (Sri Lanka) - Cette photo est l’une des toutes premières prises à mon arrivée au Sri Lanka. Je venais de m’installer pour quelques jours à Négombo et il me tardait de découvrir la vie locale. A peine sorti de mon hôtel, je suis tombé sur ces petites filles qui attendaient sagement dans un rickshaw. Je crois que le véhicule appartenait au père de l’une des enfants.
La population de l’île est diversifiée, mais les deux principaux groupes communautaires sont les Cinghalais, majoritaires à 75 %, suivis des Tamouls (11,2 %). Si les Cinghalais sont bouddhistes, les Tamouls sont principalement hindous avec une importante proportion chrétienne. Quant aux musulmans, ils représentent 7 % de la population.
Sri Lankan Smile
Negombo (Sri Lanka) - This photo is one of the very first taken when I arrived in Sri Lanka. I had just settled in Negombo for a few days and I was eager to discover the local life. I had barely left my hotel when I came across these little girls waiting patiently in a rickshaw. I think the vehicle belonged to the father of one of the children.
The island's population is diverse, but the two main community groups are the Sinhalese who are the majority at 75% of the population, followed by the Tamils (11.2%). If the Sinhalese are Buddhist, the Tamils are mainly Hindu with a significant Christian proportion. As for Muslims, they represent 7% of the population.

by Albert Bierstadt
Bierstadt's beautifully crafted paintings played to a market eager, in the 1860s for spectacular views of the nation's frontiers. Bierstadt was an immigrant and a hardworking entrepreneur who had grown rich pairing his artistic skill with a talent for self-promotion. The unveiling of one of his canvases was a theatrical event. He sold tickets and planted news stories, strategies that one critic described as the "vast machinery of advertisement and puffery." A "great picture" was elaborately framed and installed in a room with carefully controlled lighting. At the appointed time, the work was revealed to thunderous applause.
Bierstadt painted "Among the Sierra Nevada, California" in his Rome studio, then showed the canvas in Berlin and London before shipping it to the United States. Works such as this fueled the image of America as a promised land just when Europeans were immigrating to this country in great numbers. When the painting was shown in Boston, one critic recognized that the landscape was a fiction invented from Bierstadt's sketches of the West. Nevertheless the writer felt that it represented "what our scenery ought to be, if it is not so in reality."

Plusieurs dizaines de techniciens chinois du China Light Festival s'affairent actuellement à l'installation des centaines de structures géantes qui enchanteront les soirées des visiteurs (payants !) du Jardin des Plantes à partir du 22 novembre. J'irai, au mieux, fin novembre, en espérant que la météo s'y prêtera, donc patience pour des photos nocturnes.

Union 76 Gas Station located at 78 Muckelemi St. in San Juan Bautista,CA. This gas station which closed in 2004 still as of April 2009 still has its Union 76 sign facing Highway 156. In recent months a new Valero sign has been installed, however the ongoing constuction at the site makes me think that the sign was installed quite prematurely.

Les brise-lames de Saint-Malo sont des structures emblématiques qui protègent la digue de la plage du Sillon depuis plus de 200 ans. Ces pieux en chêne, au nombre de 3 000, ont été installés pour empêcher les vagues de frapper directement la digue et ainsi protéger le littoral des tempêtes et de l'érosion.
Newly installed transformers and lines in rural Emery County, Utah near the Green River. Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
Happy 20th birthday to Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS)! In February 1997, astronauts installed STIS on the telescope during the second servicing mission. The highly versatile and productive instrument combines a camera with a spectrograph, which separates light into its component colors—or wavelengths — to provide a “fingerprint” of the object being observed. This tells us about the object’s temperature, chemical composition, density, and motion. Spectrographic observations also reveal changes in celestial objects as the universe evolves. STIS has also pioneered the field of high-contrast imaging—the art of capturing faint objects (such as planets, disks, and outflowing jets) next to very bright ones (such as the stars they accompany). The instrument is sensitive to a wide range of wavelengths of light, from ultraviolet through the optical and into the near-infrared. STIS science has illuminated a multitude of different astronomical topics. Below are some examples, but this is not meant to be an exhaustive list.
