I do seem to have a soft spot for little wooden birdhouses. Though this one seemed to be unoccupied, it's in a rather tony area—cast-iron bedhead and all!

Stokesay Castle is a fabulous 13th century stone manor house with a stunning yellow and black half-timbered 17th century gatehouse. It was built by a very wealthy wool merchant, Laurence of Ludlow, between 1285 and 1291 after Edward I’s conquest of Wales in 1284. Laurence was wealthy enough to lend money to Edward I, as well as many of the great lords of the Welsh borderlands. He drowned when his ship transporting wool to Flanders sank in a storm in 1294 but his descendants remained lords of the manor at Stokesay until 1498.
The Great Hall is the earliest part of the castle, with its oak roof and staircase dating to its original construction in the 1280s, making it one of the oldest such structures surviving in Britain. The fabulous gatehouse was added in 1640-41 just before the Civil War when it was in the ownership of William Craven, a Royalist. The castle surrendered peacefully in 1645 and was left largely intact except for the curtain wall which was demolished.
William Craven recovered all his estates after Charles II’s restoration in 1660 but he did not return to Stokesay. It was occupied by tenant farmers, the Baldwyn family, who remodelled the Solar (living room) in the 1660s with wood panelling and the elaborately carved wooden fireplace overmantle which was originally brightly painted. The Baldwyns left in the early 18th century and subsequent tenants let the buildings deteriorate, the Solar, for example, being used as a granary. In 1869 John Derby Allcroft, a successful London glove manufacturer, bought the estate, and began an extensive and unusually sympathetic programme of repairs which restored the main structure of the castle to its original state.

Os dejo con esta preciosa canción de Skylar Grey. El fragmento que dice "let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday" es mi favorito y es tan esperanzador como lo es esta fotografía para mí. Está hecha en noviembre, una mañana de lluvia donde de repente salió un sol brillante que hizo brillar todo lo que la lluvia había empapado de un modo muy hermoso ♥
Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and thirty four metres, at 10:27am on Wednesday 11th September 2013 during torrential rain showers, off the A821 Duke's Pass on the Three Loch's Achray Forrest Drive, beside Loch Drunkie.
Loch Drunkie (Loch Drongaidh) is a small body of water near Callander where we were staying at the Abbotsford Lodge, in the Stirling Council area of Scotland.

We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.

Mark Weislogel
NASA’s go-to problem solver
Liquids in zero gravity don’t pour, don’t spill and don’t drip. But PSU mechanical and materials engineering professor and former NASA scientist Mark Weislogel found a way to make them behave.
An expert in fluid dynamics, Weislogal has designed numerous experiments performed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. He and his students used complex mathematics to design a coffee cup that allows liquids to be sipped instead of sucked from a tube. That’s great news for coffee-loving astronauts, and the science behind it has implications for space travel that are out of this world.
