The scissor arches, which often visitors believe to be later, modern additions were constructed from 1338-48 as an engineering solution to a very real problem.
By 1313 a high tower topped by a lead covered wooden spire had been constructed but as the foundations were not stable large cracks began to appear in the tower structure.
In fear of a total collapse, several attempts at internal strengthening and buttressing were made, until the famous ‘scissor arches’ were put in place by master mason William Joy as a final solution.
Wasp Spider in its web with a freshly caught poisoned and paralyzed grasshopper. It all happens during making this picture. I couldn´t capture it because it happend in a split second.
I assume the spider wait for the internal digestion because Spiders paralyze and kill their prey with poison and digestive juices. This means that the prey is digested internally and the spider sucks up the almost liquid mush.
"You did the right thing
covered your scars
challenge your faith and close your eyes driving cars
for all that they knew, you were safe home
But you went trough hell whenever you were left alone
And you could see where I had been
from the pictures that they took
I tried to look positive of things
Face myself but didn't look"
There are several things to say about my April's reflections. But, I just found something to say better than I can do by myself. I hope you enjoy!
Há tanto o que ser dito sobre minhas reflexões de abril. Mas, eu encontrei algo que possa dizer bem melhor do que eu poderia fazer com minhas próprias palavras. Espero que gostem.
Tenham um ótimo final de semana!
I wish you all an amazing weekend!
Obrigado!!!

Dunham Massey Hall, usually known simply as Dunham Massey, is an English country house in the parish of Dunham Massey in the district of Trafford, near Altrincham, Greater Manchester. It is now a National Trust property, open to the public. During World War I it was the Stamford Military Hospital.
The stately home was designated a Grade One listed-building on 5 March 1959. It has been owned by the National Trust since the death of the 10th and last Earl of Stamford in 1976 Over 340,000 people visited the house in 2014/15, placing it in the ten most popular National Trust houses.
Dunham Massey was built in the early 17th century by the Earls of Warrington, passing to the Earls of Stamford by inheritance; the family still live in part of the house. There were significant alterations, especially internally, at the start of the 20th century. It has historic formal gardens and a deer park. It was formerly in the ancient parish of Bowdon, Cheshire.

I love palm fronds.
Unrelated aside.
This weekend is Super Bowl Sunday here in the US.
Go Broncs.
And we're set up for our annual toxic feast of pizza and chicken wings.
My sis in law isn't so interested, but I really enjoy watching it with my brother. He fills me in on all that I don't understand.
So I also love the always illuminating post game interviews with the players as to what they did/didn't do and why they won/lost.
This is the best...... ;-)

Happy Weekend to all.
1923 Locomobile, Model 48 from the Nickel period. $9000 dollars when new in 1923!
Locomobile was one of the earliest manufacturers in the advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after it's founding in 1899, the company was located in Watertown Massachusetts. In 1900, production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut where it remained until the company's demise in 1929. The example above is a 1923 Model 48 touring car, and a very original example that had been owned by one family for over 60 years. Power is provided by a 525ci T-head 6 cylinder engine that is rated at a true 100hp. President Warren G. Harding had the exact some car and model during his tenure in the White House.
Model 48 and the Durant years
The most important for the marque became the impressive Model 48. Introduced in 1911 as the "type M," it had a very conservative, perhaps dated, concept. It had a conventional but huge chassis with a wheelbase of 143 inches (3,632 mm). Its engine was a straight six with side valves; cylinders were still cast in pairs and it featured a nonremovable cylinder head. Displacement was 429.4 cu in (7.0 L), from a 41⁄2+ in × 41⁄2+ in (114 mm × 114 mm) bore and stroke, giving it a 48.6-hp tax rating by the North American Chamber of Commerce. While called the "M" internally, this car is usually referred to by its tax hp rating. The brake horsepower rating was somewhere north of 90 for the original model, higher in the later versions. Quality of materials and workmanship were impeccable and among the best in the world. Such was also its pricing: A typical open-body cost about $10,000 when the average Model T Ford Phaeton cost about $300. Locomobile also offered custom designs for the lamps and metal work, carried out by Tiffany Studios. Until 1915, left- or right-hand drive could be specified; afterwards, left-hand drive became standard. Right-hand drive cars were meant for export and sat on a chassis four inches shorter. Around 1919, the engine was updated with a longer 51⁄2+ in (140 mm) stroke, for 525 cu in (8.6 L) displacement while retaining the same tax hp rating.
A smaller "38 hp" model, very similar to the Model 48, was added in 1913. The model 38 has a 425 cu in (7.0 L), 62 bhp (46 kW) version of the T-head six and sits on a somewhat shorter 140 inches (3,556 mm) wheelbase. By 1914, Locomobile had stopped selling all four-cylinder models to concentrate exclusively on sixes.
In July 1922, Locomobile was acquired by Durant Motors, which not only continued using the Locomobile brand name for their top-of-the-line autos until 1929, but also still produced the Model 48 until its demise in 1929. Until the mid-1920s, this car was Locomobile's only offering. In 1925, the marque brought out their first new model, the 8-66 Junior Eight, with a more contemporary straight-eight engine, and more importantly, a lower price of $1,785.
Campiglia marittima, that is of the Maremma (in Latin Maritima), a medieval town considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, was already inhabited in the Etruscan and Roman times due to the wealth of minerals in the area. The first official document mentioning Campiglia dates back to 1004.
It is today considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
I walked around MacKenzie Point and found an owner and this dog playing fetch. The dog went in once, the second time it stepped from ice chunk to ice chunks and then had to go in to return to shore.

Back from another work trip to Salt Lake City. Hope everyone had a great holiday season and have a great weekend.
Use **noise and artifacts** of photographs (the shortcomings of mobile cameras) as an artistic device to convey internal contradictions. (from the Foveography Memorandum)
To feel, to absorb
echoed
reciprocated in unison
while..Emotions Ebb & Flow
Feelings Recess,..Then grow
finally seeking a release
Leaving evidence of what simmers
To the sensitive it gives an insightful glimmer
of how much joy or sorrow is contained in YOU,
will also be in Me

Hit "L" twice to get a closer look.
Not too happy with how this turned out but what did I expect from a quick build and mismatched fugue parts? Oh well I suppose it isn't too bad
God, hear me!
They told me you didn't exist, and I trusted them like a jerk.
But last night, in the garnet hole, I saw your heaven.
Suddenly, I realized they were lying to me.
If I tried to take a good look
on the things you created,
I'd understand right away that those
they denied that the cat is cat.
It's strange that I had to
get to this hell,
so I can have time to see your face
I like you so much...
That's what I wanted you to know.
There's going to be a terrible battle coming up.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll come to your place tonight.
We weren't good friends,
And I'm asking, my God,
will you be waiting for me at the door?
Look, this is how I cry!
I'm the one who's here going to start whining!
If only I'd known you sooner...
let's go! We have to go now!
It's ridiculous:
When I met you,
I'm not afraid to die anymore.
goodbye!

Technique offer us new possiblities for experimenting. I believe curiosity is present in all human beings. An internal force moves skaters to experiment things that the rest of us, we can not dream of .In my case I enjoied exploring what could result from the use of different edition programs together, "eh voilà" the outcome!
Some fiddling about in lightroom to bring the reflection up to be brighter than the subject. Use a graduated filter increasing exposure to do this and finish off with a brightening/positive vignette
