RWL is one hell of a mod. Well and ENB.
And enhanced first person camera. And Millenia's weapons.
And lots of things. Like grabbing Vurt's grass texture and nothing else because I hated the trees.

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.

Taken aboard the USS Little Rock (CG-4). Looking northeastward toward the heart of Naples.
Keep in mind, please, that this image shows the city as it was a full fifty years ago.
Having already taken in the Somma-Vesuvius Complex, the Sorrento Peninsula, and Capri, it was time in our swing up toward the Gulf of Pozzuoli and Ischia to pay our regards to the great maritime city where our ship had just been repaired.
While Gaeta was the Little Rock's homeport, Bella Napoli was in effect our second base of operations. I spent many hours walking and (God forbid) driving around its sprawling metropolitan area. My time was pretty evenly split between the geology, the archaeology, the architecture, and the Teatro San Carlo.
Now, so long after I was last there, I have been thrown headlong back into it, if only virtually, thanks to this one photograph. By reawakening a swarm of memories it's inspired me to spend many happy hours researching the castles and churches visible here. As usual, my primary interest in them has to do with their geologically derived building materials. In fact, my next post will be an annotated blowup of this shot, with a discussion of several of those sites of interest.
But a little background is necessary to set the scene correctly.
Most foreign visitors take one look at the hulking mass of Vesuvius just a little over to the east (to the right of this image) and reasonably assume that it constitutes the region's greatest geohazard. But if you ask Italian volcanologists, you'll discover that their concerns are more focused these days on the Phlegrean Fields (Campi Flegrei) on the western flank of Naples, just out of view to the left.
In fact that area, which includes some of Campania's most fascinating sites and even part of Naples itself, lies within a pair of calderas. These bowl-shaped collapse structures—the younger and smaller of the two sits within the confines of the older—are dramatic evidence of extremely powerful eruptions that occurred in the Pleistocene. And nested within the calderas are smaller craters and cones that were produced by continuing volcanic activity in our current, Holocene epoch.
The larger caldera was produced by the most terrifying of these episodes, which occurred about 39 ky ago. Known as the Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) Eruption, it's now known to be the largest volcanic event in Europe in at least the last 200 ky.
Vastly dwarfing the famous AD 79 Vesuvius eruption that buried Herculaneum and Pompeii, the CI event ravaged the greater Naples region with pyroclastic density currents and deposited volcanic ash over large portions of Eurasia. Some of this ash has been found, for example, considerably east of Moscow.
While it wasn't as immense, another eruption at 15 ky ago, dubbed the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT) event, also wreaked havoc far and wide. There have been other eruptions as well, including the Monte Nuovo event in AD 1538.
The very approximate statistics for the two biggest blasts:
CI: material erupted: roughly 200 cubic km = 48 cubic mi; area covered by ashfall: in excess of 3,000,000 square km = 1,158,000 square mi; caldera collapse area: 83 square km = 32 square mi.
NYT: material erupted: 40 cubic km = 9.6 cubic mi; area covered by ashfall: in excess of 1000 square km = 386 square mi; caldera collapse area: 18 square km = 7 square mi.
Were an eruption of the magnitude of either of these to occur again, the loss of life in the Naples region would be unimaginable, and the effect on the weather worldwide would be devastating.
Apropos of all that, recent seismic activity in the Pozzuoli area, triggered by changes in the upper magma chamber 3 km / 1.9 mi beneath it, is being closely monitored. But the absolutely shameless "global disaster is imminent!" reports issued in the last few weeks by certain scoundrels on YouTube are sheer click bait. That said, it's true that the Phlegrean Fields caldera probably poses a greater threat to the metro area's 4-million-plus inhabitants than Vesuvius does.
We should all pity the poor specialists tasked with advising the Italian government about what will happen next beneath the Phlegrean Fields. In matters magmatic, our planet can be bafflingly capricious and unpredictable. And with calderas in particular, a sustained uptick of activity can ultimately prove meaningless, whereas a major eruption can occur in a time of general quiescence. Plotting the track and impact of an approaching hurricane is a snap in comparison.
Still, over the centuries since the ancient Greeks first established colonies here, residents of this sulfurous, crater-dotted landscape have managed to live, and in great numbers. And they've made ample use of the volcanic materials prior cataclysms have given them.
Far and away the most widely utilized building stone in local architecture is the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff. But the darker-toned Piperno, a welded tuff taken from one section of the Campanian Ignimbrite deposits, has also been a favorite choice.
In addition, there are two other varieties of CI tuff, one yellow and one gray, that have been quarried, albeit in smaller quantities, for building stone. The same is true of Phlegrean Lava (mostly trachyte) and Vesuvian Lava (trachyte, trachybasalt, phonolite, tephrite, etc.)
In the next post, I'll point out where these architectural rock types are found in the part of Naples shown here. And I'll mention other selections brought in from more distant parts of Italy—Carrara Marble, Gaeta Limestone, and one of the rarest and weirdest stones of all, the Mondragone Marble.
I have consulted many sources for my Naples research, but the two most relevant to this essay are
- Morra, Vincenzo, Domenico Calcaterra, Piergiulio Cappelletti, Abner Colella, Lorenzo Fedele, Roberto de' Gennaro, Alessio Langella, and Mariano Mercurio. “Urban Geology: Relationships between Geological Setting and Architectural Heritage of the Neapolitan Area.” Journal of the Virtual Explorer 36, Paper 26 (2010).
- Sbrana, Alessandro, Paola Marianelli, and Giuseppe Pasquini. “The Phlegrean Fields Volcanological Evolution.” Journal of Maps 17:2 (2021).

Pontefract Castle
Pontefract (or Pomfret) Castle is a castle ruin in the town of Pontefract, in West Yorkshire, England. King Richard II is thought to have died there. It was the site of a series of famous sieges during the 17th-century English Civil War.
History
Model reconstructing Pontefract Castle
The castle, on a rock to the east of the town above All Saints' Church, was constructed in approximately 1070 by Ilbert de Lacy. on land which had been granted to him by William the Conqueror as a reward for his support during the Norman Conquest. There is, however, evidence of earlier occupation of the site. Initially the castle was a wooden structure which was replaced with stone over time. The Domesday Survey of 1086 recorded "Ilbert's Castle" which probably referred to Pontefract Castle.
Robert de Lacy failed to support King Henry I during his power struggle with his brother, and the King confiscated the castle from the family during the 12th century. Roger de Lacy paid King Richard I 3,000 marks for the Honour of Pontefract, but the King retained possession of the castle. His successor, King John gave Lacy the castle in 1199, the year he ascended the throne. Roger died in 1213 and was succeeded by his eldest son, John. However, the King took possession of Castle Donington and Pontefract Castle. The de Lacys lived in the castle until the early 14th century. It was under the tenure of the de Lacys that the magnificent multilobate donjon was built.
In 1311 the castle passed by marriage to the estates of the House of Lancaster. Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (circa 1278–1322) was beheaded outside the castle walls six days after his defeat at the Battle of Boroughbridge, a sentence placed on him by King Edward II himself in the great hall. This resulted in the earl becoming a martyr with his tomb at Pontefract Priory becoming a shrine.It next went to Henry, Duke of Lancaster and subsequently to John of Gaunt, third son of King Edward III. He made the castle his personal residence, spending vast amounts of money improving it.
Richard II
The ruins of Pontefract Castle's keep
In the closing years of the 14th century, Richard II banished John of Gaunt’s son Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Hereford, from England. Following the death of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, in 1399, Richard II seized much of the property due to Bolingbroke. Richard then shared some of the seized property around among his favourites. The castle at Pontefract was among such properties which was under threat. These events aroused Bolingbroke to return to England to claim his rights to the Duchy of Lancaster and the properties of his father. Shakespeare's play Richard II (Act 2, scene 1, 277) relates Bolingbroke’s homecoming in the words of Northumberland in the speech of the eight tall ships:-
Richard III
Richard III had two relatives of Elizabeth Woodville beheaded at Pontefract Castle on 25 June, 1483 - her son, Sir Richard Grey, and her brother, Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers.
Tudor Era
In 1536, the castle's guardian, Thomas Darcy, 1st Baron Darcy de Darcy handed over the castle to the leaders of the Pilgrimage of Grace, a Catholic rebellion from northern England against the rule of King Henry VIII. Lord Darcy was executed for this alleged "surrender," which the king viewed as an act of treason.
In 1541, during a royal tour of the provinces, it was alleged that King Henry's fifth wife, Queen Catherine Howard, committed her first act of adultery with Sir Thomas Culpeper at Pontefract Castle, a crime for which she was apprehended and executed without trial. Mary, Queen of Scots was lodged at the castle on 28 January 1569, travelling between Wetherby and Rotherham.
Royalist stronghold
The garrison handed over the castle to John Lambert on 24 March 1649. On his way south to London, King James rode from Grimston Park to view Pontefract Castle on 19 April 1603 and stayed the night at the Bear Inn at Doncaster.
Royalists controlled Pontefract Castle at the start of the English Civil War. The first of three sieges began in December 1644 and continued until the following March when Marmaduke Langdale, 1st Baron Langdale of Holme arrived with Royalist reinforcements and the Parliamentarian army retreated. During the siege, mining and artillery caused damage and the Piper Tower collapsed as a result. The second siege began on 21 March 1645, shortly after the end of the first siege, and the garrison surrendered in July after hearing the news of Charles I's defeat at the Battle of Naseby. Parliament garrisoned the castle until June 1648 when Royalists sneaked into the castle and took control. Pontefract Castle was an important base for the Royalists, and raiding parties harried Parliamentarians in the area.
Oliver Cromwell led the final siege of Pontefract Castle in November 1648. Charles I was executed in January, and Pontefract's garrison came to an agreement and Colonel Morrice handed over the castle to Major General John Lambert on 24 March 1649. Following requests from the townspeople, the grand jury at York, and Major General Lambert, on 27 March Parliament gave orders that Pontefract Castle should be "totally demolished & levelled to the ground" and materials from the castle would be sold off. Piecemeal dismantling after the main organised activity of slighting may have further contributed to the castle's ruined state.
It is still possible to visit the castle's 11th-century cellars, which were used to store military equipment during the civil war.
Preservation
The ruins of St Clement's Chapel within the castle
Little survives of what "must have been one of the most impressive castles in Yorkshire" other than parts of the curtain wall and excavated and tidied inner walls. It had inner and outer baileys. Parts of a 12th-century wall and the Piper Tower's postern gate and the foundations of a chapel are the oldest remains. The ruins of the Round Tower or keep are on the 11th-century mound. The Great Gate flanked by 14th-century semi-circular towers had inner and outer barbicans. Chambers excavated into the rock in the inner bailey possibly indicate the site of the old hall and the North Bailey gate is marked by the remains of a rectangular tower.
The castle has several unusual features. The donjon has a rare Quatrefoil design. Other examples of this type of Keep are Clifford's Tower, York and at the Château d'Étampes in France. Pontefract also has an torre albarrana, a fortification almost unknown outside the Iberian Peninsula. Known as the Swillington Tower, the detached tower was attached to the north wall by a bridge. Its purpose was to increase the defender's range of flanking fire.
Wakefield Council, who own the site, commissioned William Anelay Ltd to begin repairs on the castle in September 2015, but work stopped in November 2016 when Anelay went into administration. The Council then engaged Heritage Building & Conservation (North) Ltd, who began work on the site in March 2017. A new visitor centre and cafe were opened in July 2017; but in April 2018 the council announced that they had terminated the contract with HB&C (North) Ltd, as no work had been done since mid-March, and they had not had any reassurances that the work would restart. On Yorkshire Day 2019, the restoration was completed, and the castle was removed from Historic England's "Heritage At Risk" list.
A rare American keep left sign at the intersection of DE 4 (Main Street) and DE 7 (Limestone Road) in Stanton. The sign is facing DE 7 southbound traffic, and to go from there to DE 4 east, you have to cross over the northbound lanes and turn left onto DE 4 (it's a Y-shaped intersection). There are quite a few of these intersections all across Delaware, but I just think the idea of a keep left sign in the US of A is very cool.
Dispenser for bags to collect dog fecal matter. Translation of the sign: LET'S TAKE CARE OF... (the worn sticker covers the rest of the sentence). Below it says: MA'ALOT- TARSHIJA/ Cleaning.
Just playing out an idea for a shot.
I managed to find an old set of unused blinds in my garage for the shot I had in mind.
I ended up clamping the blinds to the cross bar of my b/g stand/support.
The beauty dish at left is gelled with some blue cellophane wrap, sandwiched in between the grid and dish. The light at camera right is a reflector with a 10deg grid.
Lighting was a Elinchrom Quadra pack and heads.
5DMk1, 24-70/2.8L @ f/8 1/125th, iso100.
It was one of those days i had nothing to do so i grabbed 2 glasses and some ink and started goofing around.
This is the result of 1 hour of fun.

The Concept:
We’ve been living our lives at a rate of 24 hours per complete earth axis rotation at 365 days per complete circumference around the sun. We exist in our human form that is allowed at this speed of life. For one night, we will halt this speed to stop time; allowing our forms which hide between the threads of time to be released. In this timesphere, our alternate creatures celebrate their freedom from the clutches of passing time; relishing their freedom to finally come out of the shadows and explore. Come to “Timesphere” as your inner creature which exists deep in your timeless self.

The Intent:
We are putting all efforts into creating a reunion gathering to solidify the connections we all made with ourselves and others from Fractalfest, our 3 day gathering this summer. We invite you to part of an event which has both the wild and calming aspects. Together, let's find a balance in life and become as close to yin and yang, the Hunab Ku. Also to realize this balance is itself balanced with chaos. All we ask is you be respectful of yourself, of others, and of the space.
