Managed to sneak in another batch from Toledo before we leave Granada and free internet. Lots from Crista de la Luz, which is a neat Muslim mosque later converted to a church (as happened to many mosques after the reconquest).

Managed to find a christmas tree still not taken down. Spur of the moment thing, but the light effect on a otherwise white wall looked great.

I managed to sneak in a visit to Hardwick Hall before it was forced to close for the November lockdown. Wednesday 4th November 2020. It’s one of the grandest and most important Elizabethan country houses and it’s actually changed very little since that period.
Hardwick Hall was built between 1590 and 1597 (while the adjacent Hardwick Old Hall was still being constructed!) for Bess of Hardwick, and was designed by the architect Robert Smythson. Bess was born in 1527 and through a series of well-made marriages, she rose to the highest levels of English nobility and became enormously wealthy. She was a shrewd business woman, increasing her assets with business interests including mines and glass-making workshops. Already owning Chatsworth House, Bess of Hardwick was the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I and she wanted a grander house to reflect that (it contains one of the largest long galleries in any English house - pictures of that to follow!). The house was very modern for its time and contained a lot of glass windows in a period when glass was seen as something of a luxury.
After Bess's death in 1608, the house passed to her son William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire, and subsequent Dukes preferred Chatsworth over Hardwick. As a secondary home, Hardwick escaped the attention of modernisers and thankfully received few alterations after its completion. In 1950, the unexpected death of the 10th Duke of Devonshire, with the subsequent death duties (rated at 80%), caused the sale of many of the Devonshire assets and estates. Hardwick was handed over to HM Treasury in lieu of Estate Duty in 1956 and the estate was transferred to the National Trust in 1959.
In recent years Hardwick Hall was used to film the exterior scenes and interior scenes of Malfoy Manor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.

Behind the successful operation of all agencies within the Australian Government are qualified Project Officers and they are in high demand. Project Officer staff coordinate, direct and oversee the development of projects, or a set of related projects, including managing performance and providing resources and oversight in order to achieve outcomes and benefits related to organisational objectives. These professionals have many duties including the development of project plans, working with various project management teams, in addition to attending conferences and meetings to demonstrate support to various project management teams. A Project Officer must also assess project successes and analyse and report on their potentials and risks and are often required to travel.
All of these tasks take extensive time and commitment and the team at Public Service Resumes understands that busy Project Officers often do not possess the time to work on their own job applications for career change or progression purposes. Professionally completed applications make a positive impression and greatly increase your chances of securing an interview. Therefore, it is important to spend time to prepare a strong application highlighting your skills, experience and abilities and how they meet the requirements of the position. This includes preparing a Resume and Cover Letter tailored to the position, in addition to responses to key Selection Criteria. All Australian Government job applications are assessed on the basis of merit so it is imperative to highlight your key achievements throughout your career.
As a Project Officer, it is important to portray that you know what it takes to determine the details necessary to manage a project through from start to finish. Your interview-winning Project Officer Resume must be a testament to your past accomplishments whilst painting a vivid portrait of your abilities and desire to advance in the Australian Government. This includes demonstrating your self-awareness and positivity in considering and respecting a diversity of ideas and perspectives in addition to possessing the courage to challenge the status quo when it does not service the required outcome. Moreover, as a Project Officer, you need to demonstrate that you are innovative, consultative, resilient and personally accountable for the quality of advice and the delivery of results. Take the stress out of trying to juggle your important project work with your equally important job application by contacting Public Service Resumes to assist. Not only will you be provided with a professional looking Resume but you can rest assured that it will be free of errors, use positive and specific language and clearly portray how well you can communicate thus ensuring a positive impression.

I never quite managed to capture the beautiful light that passed as these boats were lit up by the sunset
against a massive storm brewing over scotland island. The original colours and contrast just seemed too strong and surreal when I posted them so ended up trying alternative presentation formats...
and never quite made it work.. so not making this v public

I normally edit all my images at work and print them out on works printers, however, I have started doing a lot of editing on my laptop but was noticing the colours were a bit off. So this evening when it was quiet I colour calibrated my laptop with the spyder and I notice a huge difference already. Need to edit loads of pics now and see what they print like.
