Another shot of Wachella Falls, this time shot using the Singh-Ray Gold & Blue polarizer.
This is an odd composition, and represents a strong attempt by me to force the users eye into the waterfall. The moss covered right that's foreground right pushes the user into the shot. The rest of the rocks draw the eye in, and the waterfall ends up as the main focal point.
... At least, that's the idea! I would love to hear from people as to how well this worked.
Matthew Day Jakson, a great artist from New York!
On Dutch:
Matthew Day Jackson, een kunstenaar uit New York City, werkt met regelmaat in het Heartland-gebied. In zijn sculpturen, foto’s, installaties en tekeningen brengt hij wrede hoofdstukken uit de Noord-Amerikaanse geschiedenis opnieuw voor het voetlicht. Eén zaal in de tentoonstelling is gewijd aan de Mitotes van Greely Myatt: sculpturen die gemaakt zijn van verschillende soorten handvatten, bijvoorbeeld van een schoffel, een spade of een honkbalknuppel. Carol Jackson snijdt haar beeltenissen en teksten uit in stukken leer en voegt hier onder andere verf en glitter aan toe. Hierbij maakt ze gebruikt van iconografische en typografische kenmerken van uithangborden en reclame-uitingen, 20ste-eeuwse manifesten en epische literatuur.

Tuck & Robin Lakes are described in Backpacking Washington. If you go, please practice leave no trace camping in this beautiful, fragile area, and be aware that campfires are prohibited above 5,000' in the east side of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. This is a special place that was, sadly, showing signs of some hard use.

Lower Taughannock Falls is 20 feet high and has a crest that is roughly 70 feet wide.

Lower Largo is famed for its links with Alexander Selkirk, who was born in the Village in 1676 and as a youth ran away to sea. He was marooned on a desert Island in the Pacific Ocean where he remained for four and a half years before being rescued. Daniel Defoe the novelist published the real life story as Robinson Crusoe at the start of the eighteenth century.

Family Vacation - New York City - 2017
The lower portion of the cascade falls @ Ohio Pyle State Park. There is no hiking trail to this side of the falls so you either have to cross the stream from the right, or if you are hiking from the left, hike off trail to get this perspective (which I like best). We were hiking above the falls to the left and the roar of the falls made us think we were a lot closer than we actually were. The off-trail trek down was fun too.
Frank Lloyd Wright - Unity Temple
in Oak Park, IL - USA (1908)
.
Look more in a [HD] Video on YouTube:
.
Unity Temple is a Unitarian Universalist church in Oak Park, Illinois, and the home of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation. It was designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and built between 1905 and 1908. Unity Temple is considered to be one of Wright's most important structures dating from the first decade of the twentieth century. Because of its consolidation of aesthetic intent and structure through use of a single material, reinforced concrete, Unity Temple is considered by many architects to be the first modern building in the world.
To accommodate the needs of the congregation, Wright divided the community space from the temple space through a low, middle loggia that could be approached from either side. This was an efficient use of space and kept down on noise between the two main gathering areas: those coming for religious services would be separated via the loggia from those coming for community events. This design was one of Wright's first uses of a bipartite design: with two portions of the building similar in composition and separated by a lower passageway, and one section being larger than the other. The Guggenheim Museum in New York City is another bipartite design.
To reduce noise from the street, Wright eliminated street level windows in the temple. Instead, natural light comes from stained glass windows in the roof and clerestories along the upper walls. Because the members of the parish would not be able to look outside, Unity Temple's stained glass was designed with green, yellow, and brown tones in order to evoke the colors of nature. The main floor of the temple is accessed via a lower floor (which has seating space), and the room also has two balconies for the seating of the congregation. These varying seating levels allowed the architect to design a building to fit the size of the congregation, but efficiently: no one person in the congregation is more than 40 feet from the pulpit. Wright also designed the building with very good acoustics.

The wooden filler has rotted and the fobreglass holding it fell apart and then the dexion repair.... First things first get rid of oily crud!
Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion that survives to this day.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death it was inherited by his sister Ellen who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew Major James Archibald Morrison.
During the Second World War, the estate was requisitioned. It served several purposes including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training, and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952 Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about restoring the house sensitively to its former glory, with the addition of modern-day comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house, together with 400 acres of parkland, to the National Trust in 1978.
