All of these convention centers have banks of little conference rooms buried deep in side hallways. After the Stan Lee interview, the hallway was packed with staff, assistants, and people who had apparently overheard something and were just sort of hanging around, hoping to get a genuine Glimpse...or perhaps even people who were told "Well, perhaps Stan can give you a minute while he walks from his 10:00 commitment to his 10:45..."
It was almost like a perp walk.

Lier Psychiatric Hospital, formerly known as Lier Asylum, is a large facility in Buskerud, Norway. Opened in 1926, it's six patient blocks were intended to become one of the leading institutions curing and housing mental patients. At it's most, almost 700 patients were held here.
Although many were cured, the hospital is renowned for their experimental use of electroshock, lobotomy, and LSD. In 1992, documents revealed a number of 373 patients having been lobotomized in the period of 1941 to 1959 alone.
In 1986, most of the buildings were closed due to downsizing and the use of newer facilities in Drammen, but there's still some activity left on the premises.
After several years of discussion, money has been granted to remove the old, worn down buildings. I hope I'll be able to go back there at least once more before they are demolished.

Parts of Lier Psychiatric Hospital was closed in 1986 and are still abandoned. It is located outside Oslo in Norway.
Here the doctors tested new medicins and ways to help the patients. Lobotomy, electroshock and drugs like LSD was used.
It's a spooky place with a very interesting history.

Pink is the new blood-red
Dear fighters and lovers. I think you got it all wrong.
Cópialo, distribúyelo, bloguéalo.
Note: Taken from sicoactiva's stream and cause.
The old Lier Mental Hospital was abandoned in 1986 and still is.
We arrived at 04:00 in the morning, and hoped that we would avoid meeting the local kids who sometimes uses this place to drink, look for ghosts and scare each other. We had some peaceful but also scary hours inside the abandoned building, all alone, or at least we liked to believe that we were alone.
The rumor says that the staff at Lier Mental Hospital tested new medicines, lobotomy, electroshocks and drugs like LSD on the patients. During the years 1941 to 1981 it is estimated that more than 3000 people were lobotomized in Norway, many of theme right here in this building.
Thanks to Ansgar Valbø for joining me on this trip and sharing tips and advice during the shoot and processing.

Comments and critique are always welcome :-)
"One entrepreneur's attempt to alleviate the isolation that so many citizens feel, being cut off from the outside world, has resulted in the ornate, magical mailboxes of Clinton Harwood. Harwood, a blacksmith and amateur chaos magician, claimed to have been inspired by the concept of Schrödinger's cat; the difference being that the potential states of a locked mailbox are not 'dead' or 'alive' but rather empty or not. Over the course of four years of experiments, during which he was nearly killed several times (at one point he conjured a badger, which took two of his fingers), he calibrated potentialities until he perfected his product. Essentially, he created a way for his customers to receive mail which might have been sent had the Exile never occurred. . . . 'When you open that box in the morning,' Harwood has been quoted as saying, 'you get to feel like everything is back to normal, if only for a few minutes. That's what I'm selling--a little bit of comfort.' . . . In the early days (the first model of the line premiered in 1974) he sold that comfort for prices few could afford. Mayor Faldbakken III was one of Harwood's first customers, and appeared on Channel 8 with a postcard, dated the week before, from a cousin who was traveling in Hawaii. 'The mail wasn't this fast before the Exile!' the mayor said. The joke fell flat with the city's former postal corps, but those citizens who still had televisions were entranced. Most, however, had to wait for Harwood's later, lower-priced models. . . . The low-end Harwood mailbox yields up its riches once per week: letters from loved ones, magazine subscriptions, even utility bills for services no longer provided. . . . Calibrating the potentiality of mail has proved to be inexact, however. Since the very principle of the Harwood is to receive correspondence never sent from a world which appears to have entirely forgotten the city, it is perhaps unsurprising that some deliveries come from worlds that never existed. Letters from lovers never met have been known to cause marital crises, and a certain quantum irregularity seems to have centered upon People Magazine--nearly every Harwood receives it, but the content of each copy differs from the next in some way. . . . Unheard of before the Exile, People has become one of the preferred forms of escape for citizens. Speculating upon what celebrity stories are true has become an art form of sorts, with the most seasoned practitioners building narratives of the outer world based upon their collections. A Steve McQueen presidency, for example, invalidates any report of the actor's death, which in turn gives the lie to all other stories within issues reporting his death, and so forth. . . . Many Harwood owners treasure even their junk mail, such as advertising circulars, many of which seem to consist of rejected celebrities pitching rejected products using rejected copy; the most common depicts a Bolivian soccer striker named Obedencio guzzling a bottle of Pringles Quench next to the slogan 'Everyone sweats in the same language.' Obedencio has never appeared in People, but many neighborhoods celebrate his birthday regardless, having arbitrarily set it as June 14th. . . . Harwoods are still being made today, although Clinton Harwood himself was killed on January 3, 1989 during a publicity stunt. He had placed one of his mailboxes at the base of the Black Tower; joking that the tower's inhabitants would finally show themselves when he brought them their mail, he unlocked the box and disappeared in a plume of flame that was seen two miles away. (See p.94.) The Harwood still stands at the base of the Black Tower, but the key is lost, and no one has approached it since that day." (p.387-388)

Buckingham Palace
The Coffin bearing The late Queen was borne in State from Buckingham Palace this afternoon on a Gun Carriage of The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, flanked by the Escort Party found by 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, to travel to the Palace of Westminster to Lie-in-State in Westminster Hall.
The Coffin was followed by The King, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Sussex, The Duke of York, The Earl of Wessex, The Princess Royal, Mr Peter Phillips, The Duke of Gloucester, The Earl of Snowdon and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
Other Members of the Royal Family travelled separately.
The King and The Queen Consort, The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, The Duke of York with Princess Beatrice, Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Princess Eugenie, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank and Mr. Jack Brooksbank, The Earl and Countess of Wessex with The Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and Viscount Severn, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Mr. Peter Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Tindall, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, The Duke of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Princess Alexandra, the Hon. Lady Ogilvy and other Members of the Royal Family were received at the North Door of Westminster Hall by the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Lord Speaker and the Speaker.
The King and The Queen Consort and other Members of the Royal Family attended a Service for the Reception of the Coffin conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Westminster (the Very Reverend Dr. David Hoyle).
A Guard of Honour, found by The King's Guard with the State Colour, was formed up in front of Buckingham Palace.
A Guard of Honour found by the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force, with the Band of the Royal Marines was formed up in Parliament Square.
His Majesty's Body Guard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms and The King's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard were on duty in the Palace of Westminster.
From Household Division website
At the stroke of 2:22pm this afternoon, Her Majesty The Queen’s coffin was carried in procession on a gun carriage of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where she will lie in state for four days ahead of her State Funeral on Monday 19 September 2022.
Before the procession set off, dismounted detachments of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment formed up on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, as a Guard of Honour formed from troops of 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, with its State Colour draped, waited outside in the Queen’s Gardens.
The carriage, known as the George Gun Carriage and which carried King George VI’s coffin, was positioned in the Buckingham Palace Quadrangle with an escort party and a bearer party formed by The Queen’s Company 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
As the Commanding Officer of the Household Division, Major General Chris Ghika and his staff took up their positions in front of the gun carriage, the bearer party carried Her Majesty’s coffin from within Buckingham Palace to be placed on the gun carriage.
Leaving Buckingham Palace for the last time
At 2:22pm on the dot, guns were fired from Hyde Park by The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery - one round every minute for the duration of the procession, meaning 38 rounds were fired. Simultaneously, Garrison Sergeant Major, Headquarters London District, WO1 Andrew Stokes, stepped off the procession.
Leading the procession out of Buckingham Palace and along The Mall was the dismounted detachment of The Life Guards of the Household Cavalry of more than 50 soldiers.
Following them were four key personnel: Silver Stick in Waiting Colonel Mark Berry (former Life Guards); Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, Lieutenant Colonel Gareth Light, Irish Guards; Brigade Major Household Division, Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw, Grenadier Guards and Aide-de-Camp to Major General Commanding the Household Division, Captain Jamie Roy.
Flanking the gun carriage were pall bearers, who had all been service equerries to The Queen, and the escort party and the bearer party drawn from The Queen’s Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
Bringing up the rear of the procession, following His Majesty The King and members of the Royal Family, was a Blues and Royals marching detachment from The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
The procession marched at a pace of 75 steps per minute, which is specifically reserved for funerals and ensures it keeps time with the slow pace of the gun carriage. Ordinarily troops would either do a slow march of 60 beats per minute, or a quick march of 110 beats per minute.
Arrival at Westminster Hall in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster
As Her Majesty arrived in Westminster, the coffin was carried in procession by a bearer party of The Queen’s Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards from the gun carriage and placed on a raised platform, known as a catafalque, in Westminster Hall.
After a short service, the captain of The Queen’s Company 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, assisted by a senior sergeant, laid The Queen’s Company Colour, the royal standard of the regiment, on the steps of the catafalque at the south end.
Lying In State and the Vigil
A continuous vigil will be kept by His Majesty’s Body Guard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, assisted at times by The King’s Body Guard for Scotland (The Royal Company of Archers), The King’s Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard, assisted by The Body of Yeomen Warders of HM Tower of London, and by units of the Household Division.
Those units will include: The Household Cavalry, the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards, the Scots Guards, the Irish Guards and the Welsh Guards. Each period of 24 hours will be divided into four watches. Except for the first and last, each of the 20 watches will last for 6 hours. Within each watch, a Vigil will last for 20 minutes.
More than 320 military personnel from all three services took part in this ceremonial activity, including 170 military personnel from The Household Division in the procession.
The Gun Carriage
The gun carriage is known as the George Gun Carriage and carried King George VI’s coffin from Sandringham Church to Wolferton Station in February 1952. It was also used in the funeral of The Queen Mother in 2002.
Royal Salutes
The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery has six 13-pounder quick-fire guns, built between 1913 and 1918, all of which have seen active service in the First and Second World Wars. They are used regularly for royal salutes in Hyde Park, Green Park or Windsor Great Park for State Occasions and to mark royal anniversaries and royal birthdays. Each gun and limber weighs 1.5 tons and, with the team, is approximately 54 feet long.

With the snow still lying round where we live, we decided to head to the sea for a change today. The photo makes it look a bit of a gloomy day but wasn't too bad at all. A fine walk and the air was good.
Saw this leaf resting on the cool green grass. I had to literally lie down on the grass (in my work clothes), place the camera at slightly above grass level, manipulate the focus ring on the manual lens to get the right effect... I like how the picture turned out.
I love the way the bright colors of the red just seamlessly merges with the green of the grass. And the way the very thin sliver of focus creates a "wall" between two areas. I like this sort of photography... colors and an illusion created by manipulating the physics of light and glass.
