D8568 passes D1015 'Western Champion' at Arley on the Severn Valley Railway's Diesel Enthusiast's Gala. The 'Westerns' were, for once, in the shadow of a unique survivor of a long gone diesel history and fair play to the DTG for keeping it 'alive'!
The old Morton homestead has lived a lot of lives, and it might well be on its last. Constructed by Joseph Morton, a local deacon and surgeon, it's one of the oldest structures in this part of Annapolis County. First came a log house, then this was raised in 1784, same year as the birth of his son Edmund. Clay for the bricks was collected, formed, and fired by Mr. Morton himself, then he hired a local mason named McNeil to lay them. The entire wooden interior and roof burned out in 1819, but was rebuilt. Various additions have come and gone, but the solid structural core has remained mostly unchanged for two-and-a-half centuries. Is there a renovation pending? Could be. It was bought by someone for relatively little in October, and it's either coming down or back to life — there are only two options. I've been watching all my life out the window on the highway passing, wondering. Are there any from this particular line of Mortons still lingering in this corner of the world? The closest I could find was Joseph's great-great-granddaughter Alberta Morton, buried in Canning in 1956, aged 78. Like most old homes, this one seems long since orphaned from its roots.

During a 30742 charters event on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway yesterday, Churchward 2-8-0, 2807 runs through Laverton Loop whilst a permanent way train stands on the start of the northwards extension to Broadway.
Almost 10 years ago I did a mini photo-project in the Copenhagen Metro playing with motion blur. Back then I chose to only publish 3 of my photos in a little "All Those Blurred People in the Metro" series. All 3 fine photos, but when I recently, as part of my "Catching up" project, looked back at the complete set of photos I took, it was suddenly 3 other photos which primarily caught my eyes. So I'm posting these now :-)
Sugarcane train travel at a very slow pace, so much that it is possible to chase after this train and wait long on the spot, despite the fact my car has to travel through much longer route, and I still have to walk 1 km from car park to this spot. This one is Kedawung no.2 as it head back to the mill.

Creature Shop
A number of video screens here progressively show what it was like to work in the creature shop, cleverly leading you from one screen to the next.
Makeup Effects
Creature Shop artisans transformed many cast members into magical beings like goblins, werewolves and even the Dark Lord himself, using applied makeup pieces called prosthetics.
Design
The Art Department provided the Creature Shop with initial sketches and drawings of each creature and character. From there artists transformed the images into three-dimensional models called maquettes.
Moulding
Once the designs were approved, makeup appliances were sculpted to fit the performers. Models of actors' mouthes, heads, arms or entire bodies were cast which artists used to create and test new prosthetic pieces.
Application
Multiple copies of each prosthetic were made from silicone or foam. Then, makeup artists carefully glued each piece to cast members' heads and bodies, a process that took just a few minutes for Voldemort's eyebrows and up to three hours for a Gringotts goblin.
Filming
Because of the hot lights in the studio and actor movement, makeup artsits were standing by on set to touch up smeared lightning bolt scars, broken goblin ears or crooked teeth.
People the world-over have been enchanted by the Harry Potter films for nearly a decade. The wonderful special effects and amazing creatures have made this iconic series beloved to both young and old - and now, for the first time, the doors are going to be opened for everyone at the studio where it first began. You'll have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and see many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides a unique showcase of the extraordinary British artistry, technology and talent that went into making the most successful film series of all time. Secrets will be revealed.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter films - the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.
- Explore Dumbledore’s office and discover never-before-seen treasures.
- Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivanders wand shop, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium.
- See iconic props from the films, including Harry’s Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid’s motorcycle.
- Learn how creatures were brought to life with green screen effects, animatronics and life-sized models.
- Rediscover other memorable sets from the film series, including the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s hut, Potion’s classroom and Professor Umbridge’s office at the Ministry of Magic.
Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.
The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
