Another 2 version shot of the interior of the chapel at Clumber Park, Nottingham.
This was an area around the altar that was behind a gate (I'm sure there is a proper name for the gate between the altar area the main congregation area). The sunlight was streaming through the window and highlighting part of the altar. This is what I was trying to capture.
I don't know if there ever was Gold in Cologne, but if there was, they must have put it into this into this bridge. When I got close, I could see there is is another kind of gold on the bridge. It's full of padlocks hung by lovers. I have never ever seen so many padlocks in one place, as on this bridge. It's from one end to the other.

Pumping station "de Vier Noorder Koggen". Built in 1869 to replace some polder mills for the draining of the polder land to the former Zuiderzee. The pumping station consists of two parts: the old pumping station from 1869 and on the left the new pumping station from 1907.
The old pumping station worked well, but that was not enough. The pumping station, and also the mills, were running at full power, but the area behind the dike remained too wet. There were also votes to build another pumping station, but the high costs were feared. The farmers complained of stone and bone. After a lot of talking, while meanwhile wet years caused a lot of damage, it was finally decided to expand the old pumping station with a new section in which a gas engine would be placed. The new building was completed in 1907. The mills were no longer needed. The millers were fired and had to leave their home and workplace. The windmills were sold for five hundred guilders each. Of the twenty mills, which were managed by the Vier Noorder Koggen, only the West-Uit 7 mill at Aartswoud was spared. The appearance of the Brakepolder changed considerably when fourteen windmills disappeared from the landscape there in just a short time.
During World War I, opponents of steam were proved right when the pumping station ran into problems because the coal supply stopped. It was decided to keep a large stock of coal available at all times.
Sometimes you just feel that a certain place has something, a vibe, an energy, well something 😆
This place has that something 🙏
I'm so happy to be getting older
Look at this beauty
If I can be so beautiful when I'm old I don't mind getting older
The years that go by marks you
How cool isn't that
I would rather have wrinkles and grey hair then no traces of a lived life
If I don't have scars and traces in my mind and body I feel I have avoided life
And why am I on earth?
Of course (in my mind) it is to evolve and then I need to deep dive into it all
Sometimes I have a wet fuse, like very many others, it is so wet it feels like it's lying in the water
But when my fuse is getting out of the water then the action starts
It is not always easy to be around me when I'm full of energy
Even I thinks I'm a bit too much
Yesterday was one of them days, I think I was laughing all day of nothing and everything
Luckily I was totally alone all day, Aiko doesn't care - he gets his attention and cuddles and doesn't care about my overjoy of life
I was feeling high yesterday, lol, high on myself
Good grief how 16 can you be....
I was meditating the other day and the words that came to me that filled me with joy and a feeling of being loved was
Enjoy Life
Nyt Livet
I think I'm ready for that now
Amen
New place for me, old Fredrikstad, Norway. This is a marvelous part of Fredrikstad, it's full of life, lots of small cozy restaurants and streets and houses like this. And ofc a street musician (to the left), I think he belongs here 😄
Love the atmosphere, I bet you would too 💕

The Heart Mountain War Relocation Center, named after nearby Heart Mountain and located midway between the northwest Wyoming towns of Cody and Powell, was one of ten concentration camps used for the internment of Japanese Americans evicted during World War II from their local communities (including their homes, businesses, and college residencies) in the West Coast Exclusion Zone by the executive order of President Franklin Roosevelt, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
There are only a few original buildings remain, two barracks and this, the smokestack building (see pic).
Pic: The hospital, behind, relied on the boiler house to provide steam heat during cold Wyoming weather.
There is a museum, Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, just east of this. They open daily, 10am to 5pm. I got there like 4:15pm on Friday, September 9th, not enough time to visit inside - just don't want them to see me acting hurry; just took the pictures of those abandoned buildings, and left.
This fine Building was built in 1810 and is one of the last surviving Buildings of its Era in East Hull ..It was known as Sutton Hall until it ceased to be a private residence in the 1940s..It later became a Care Home ..
Kingston Maurward was built in the 13th century by William de Pakington. It remained in the family until he sold it to Sir John Pakington (a distant relative) in 1777. It remained with the Pakingtons until 1977, when Dorset County Council purchased it. The estate was then sold again in 1978 to the current owners. They have transformed the house back into a family home and restored many of its original features, such as the Great Hall and Medieval kitchen. Today Kingston Maurward is still used as a family home and has been restored to its original glory.
The house in the grounds can be hired for weddings or other functions.
In the grounds is Kingston Maurward college teaching land based studies with a huge variety of courses from Marine & Wildlife ecology to horticulture, flower arranging, agriculture & many more.
The gardens are lovely & there is a "farm" for the children. Plus a very good cafe.
We did a circular walk from here that included Hardy's cottage.
