An afternoon at the Art Gallery NSW, I came across this giant like liquid silver Captain James Cook.
St James, Icklingham, Suffolk
One of two medieval parish churches in the village, and the only one still in use. Drastically restored in the 19th Century, and the feel is entirely of this. A saving grace is Robert Bayne's splendid 1860s east window of the Ascension.

On October 1, 1966, James C. Elms was appointed Director of the NASA Electronics Resource Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Elms served as director until the closing of the ERC on June 30, 1970. Prior to his appointment as ERC Director, James Elms served as Deputy Director of NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas and then as Deputy Associate Administrator for them Manned Spaceflight Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.
The ERC opened in September 1964, taking over the administration of contracts, grants, and other NASA business in New England from the antecedent North Eastern Operations Office (created in July 1962), and closed in June 1970. It served to develop the space agency's in-house expertise in electronics during the Apollo era. A second key function was to serve as a graduate and post-graduate training center within the framework of a regional government-industry-university alliance. Research at the ERC was conducted in ten different laboratories: space guidance, systems, computers, instrumentation research, space optics, power conditioning and distribution, microwave radiation, electronics components, qualifications and standards, and control and information systems. Researchers investigated such areas as microwave and laser communications; the miniaturization and radiation resistance of electronic components; guidance and control systems; photovoltaic energy conversion; information display devices; instrumentation; and computers and data processing. Although the only NASA Center ever closed, the ERC actually grew while NASA eliminated major programs and cut staff in other areas. Between 1967 and 1970, NASA cut permanent civil service workers at all Centers with one exception, the ERC, whose personnel grew annually until its closure in June 1970.

(Not my photo) Victoria Harbour, James Bay and the city in 1884. That's the James Bay Bridge in the middle. While it seems like the Empress is on pretty solid ground, it is actually built over a tidal estuary.
In the "Book of Small" Emily Carr has this wonderful description of the end of the James Bay Bridge, draining of the tidal flats and building of the Empress:
"The C.P.R. watched the West grow. She saw Victoria's squatty little old red brick Parliament Buildings give place to magnificent stone structures - domes, copper roofs - everything befitting a Capital City. Facing the Parliament Buildings across James' Bay arose a sedate stone and cement Post Office. Little old knock-kneed wooden James' Bay bridge still straddled the mud flats between the two. The C.P.R. pillowed their heads upon the mud flats and dreamed a dream. First they tore down the old wooden bridge and built in its place a wide concrete causeway, damming the Bay waters back from the flats. The sea was furious and dashed, but the concrete wall hurled it back. Smells got frantic and stank to high Heaven until engineers came and drained the seepage slough.
Pendray's soap works and Kanaka Row could not endure life without smells, -so they just faded out of existence. The soap-fat refuse from the soap works stopped playing glorious iridescent colours across the mud when the sun shone. No tide came in to sweep away Kanaka Row's refuse: their back doors were heaped round with it and were disgusting. The yellow clay of the mud flats parched and cracked. The marsh grass through which the Indian canoes had slithered so caressingly, turned harsh and brittle...
The C.P.R. were still dreaming their mud-flat dream and architects were making blue prints of it. To be private and undisturbed during their dreaming they built a huge hoarding the entire length of the causeway shutting the dream into the mud. A citizen's eye was applied to every knot-hole in the hoarding but they could make neither head nor tail of what was going on. The pile-driver gawked over the top of the hoarding. Thud,thud,thud! Her fearful weight obeyed the squeaky little whistle of her engine, driving mighty logs, each one a complete tree-bole, end down into the mud. There they stood shoulder to shoulder, a headless wooden army tramping the old mud-smells clean through to China. When the flats were a solid wooden pack the harbour bottom was dredged and the liquid mud was pumped in between the standing logs. Thousands of men wheeled millions of barrowloads of earth and rocks for hundreds of weeks - dumping, loading till solid ground was made on which the C.P.R. could found their dream.
The dream took shape in reality. The hoarding came down at last and there stood the Empress Hotel. It never looked crude and new because while the back was building, the finished front was already given over to creepers and shrubs, and gardens were set the moment workmen's feet had stopped trampling. Beautiful conservatories sat right on top of where the city garbage dump had once been. Under their glass roofs bloomed rare flowers from all parts of the world, but none were more sweet, more lovely than the little wild briar roses that had so graciously soothed our noses over the old mud-flat smells."

James & The Giant Peach was one of my favorite book when I was younger. I don't think I would have thought it was banned until I saw it on the list. It is indeed banned for the violence against James by his aunts and for various other reasons such as mysticism and bad language! This book reminds me of the libraries in my childhood. It takes me back to about 3rd grade! I used Angelina Fibers for the peach, metallic thread for the spider web strings lifting up the peach and I used fusible applique.
Herringswell, St Ethelbert. James Clark.
A landscape piece of art representing Herringswell in the spring. Silver birches, pink hawthorn, lilac, rabbits, a heron (the village supposedly takes its name from the heron rather than the herring), squirrels and birds (pigeons?). A very tall window in the south transept best viewed from this perspective despite the hanging lamp. Clark was yet another student of Christopher Whall. 1917. Detail
James Anderson - Partner
James joined Poppleston Allen as a solicitor in September 2003 and was made a partner in April 2006.
He has many years experience in licensing law, acting for a wide range of clients, based mainly in London, from individuals to major operators although (perhaps reflecting two of his outside interests) most of his clients are either pubs or restaurants. In the 2008 Chambers Guide, James is described as a "standout lawyer" for his work.
James won a landmark case in June 2007 for a London bar in a West End stress area, and was granted extended trading hours by Westminster City Council. It was one of the first bars or pubs in the area to be granted an extension outside core hours. He was then granted further extended hours in an Appeal against the Council in December 2007, one of only a handful of successful Appeals against Westminster in the stress areas.
James also heads up the Poppleston Allen Betting & Gaming team and has advised clients from betting shops and bingo halls to arcade operators. James has also developed a training DVD in this area for the Law Society in conjunction with the Gambling Commission.
James is also involved in a significant number of lectures and training sessions for council members, officers and other responsible authorities around the country on licensing and gambling issues.

So back from camping and still catching up.
Had an amazing time...camping for 2 days which was rather windy! This is my friend James cooking some sausages on a disposable barbe with the high winds, not that you could tell but he was pretty grumpy and didn't appreciate my photo taking at the time. How helpful am I! :)
We were in a rush to eat up to go catch the sunset.
The last night was rather interesting...25 mile an hour winds and pissing it down with rain all night. Wasn't sure if the tent would last but it sure did. It was freeeezzing in the tent and that was with 4 layers on! Ha ha...good times.
Anyway we moved on to a house for the next 5 days which was pretty sweet and the weather was clear blue skies for the rest of it.
Nice.
