Sculpted in beautiful marble, the memorial to Colonel Alexander Champion caught my eye during a visit to Bath Abbey.
The lighting was perfect to highlight this lovely detailed memorial.
I discovered its talented creator was one Joseph Nollekens RA (1737 - 1823), born in England.
And Alexander Champion served in the army of the East India Company for two decades. He became the Commander in Chief in 1774.
He died in Bath in 1793.

I am back home ..... But my silent memories is there ... in the pond by the house ....
My new texture: wallMAT132a1024
An old homestead sitting proudly on the hill. Someone moved to Canada, a new land of endless dreams and possibilities. Someone broke this land with a horse and plow, someone farmed this land to make a living. Some one dreamed this house and made it a reality, but now it is just ...a fading memory.

Date stone, coincidentally built in Coronation Year, York Central Telephone Exchange, an unattractive building lifted by what has become a memory.
“Memories are the treasures that we keep locked deep within the storehouse of our souls, to keep our hearts warm when we are lonely.” Becky Aligada
Memory shapes our lives .It builds us as what we are today...Locked into our minds ...some good some not.....infact they are just memories...we rank them "good not not" according to our likes and dislikes...I believe it would be appropriate to classify joys,fears,guilts....also as memories.....
Locked once they never vanish.They do get some rust but never leave the room in which they got once. As time goes on we keep refreshing the good ones and the bad ones keep refreshing themselves....
We catch these moments through our cameras , our eyes, our hands, our hearts and in to our soul...but the ultimate place where they rest is our mind....the most powerful storage where they can reside forever...its just like a lock put on and one has lost the key.....the lock stands there in guard even if it gets rusty...memories do sometimes fade and get rust but to remove them from your life one does not have any key for it...we can pretend that they are not there bt is that right ?
we all are blessed with this awesome power (good ones) and none of us is free from this curse (bad ones) as it appears to us at times but this not a fact. Many of us still remember that first crush in school, the way we used to dress and style our hair...those stupid things we did in our childhood and now when we recall them or some incident refreshes those moments we laugh at ourselves and enjoy those moments... yes they do makes u cry at times as well...but the great thing is that a balance is maintained by the existence of both....

'Photographs and memories'
The colour pictures show the morning of 16th June 1976. We went to Leeds station and as far as I knew it was to watch the 'Leeds Executive' train leaving, hauled by one of my favourite 'Deltic' locomotives.
Then we got on the train, my parents telling me we were travelling to the first stop. The top left picture shows the excitement of my sister and myself at finding out we were going on our first ever trip to London! This was unbelievable for me, I'd seen the trains leaving for the capital hundreds of times and always dreamed of making the journey!
It's not apparent from the pictures, but the denim jacket that I'm wearing had a Deltic embroidered on the back, each time I 'cabbed' a Deltic mum added its name underneath! How cool was I as a kid;-)
The lower picture shows us stood outside of London King's Cross station on a baking hot day, the summer of '76 was one to remember for the drought conditions we had.
The background picture isn't from the day, but shows a Deltic locomotive, 55002, leaving Leeds on the final Yorkshire Pullman train, a photograph that appeared in the Yorkshire Post newspaper. For the record, the Deltic we had was 55008 The Green Howards.
To me, photographs often bring back really happy memories. I can almost smell the bacon and eggs from the restaurant car as I write! It's funny too what distant memories drift back into mind, anyone remember 'Lilt', with its 'totally tropical taste'? I'm pretty sure that was new in the shops that year!
Stirring the memories... two of the (then 5) surviving operational Deltics, sit at the head of their trains in preparation for the first morning's operations to Heywood during the East Lancs Railway's second Deltic 50 Anniversary weekend. 55022 Royal Scots Grey (left) and 55019 Royal Highland Fusiliers (right) with 55002 Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (on the other end of '19's train) sit in the station after re-positioning at the end of the evening photoshoot in the yard... so, taken at the end of a splendid evening, spent with good friends and big beasties. A re-edit of an old image that proves the improvements in technology that might just make me look back at the other 2011 and 2012 images to see what else can be re-worked.
