Update 4/8/09: This is not a new post but wanted to bring it back to the front to let everyone know about a great book that was recently released, it's called Photographing Oregon by Greg Vaughn. He did a great job on this book and I would recommend it for those wanting to photograph the scenic beauty of Oregon. I mention it to since this image was selected to represent the Alvord Desert area. Other great local photographers contributing images to this book include Darren White, Zack Schnepf, Jesse Estes, Sean Bagshaw and more. Happy touring!
Taken seconds after the sun broke over the mountain tops surrounding the Alvord Playa. A very chilly morning, but beautiful.

Bishops' palaces were high status domestic residences providing luxury accommodation for the bishops and lodgings for their large retinues; although some were little more than country houses, others were the setting for great works of architecture and displays of decoration. Bishops' palaces were usually set within an enclosure, sometimes moated, containing a range of buildings, often of stone, including a hall or halls, chapels, lodgings and a gatehouse, often arranged around a courtyard or courtyards. The earliest recorded examples date to the seventh century. Many were occupied throughout the medieval period and some continued in use into the post-medieval period; a few remain occupied today. Only some 150 bishops' palaces have been identified and documentary sources confirm that they were widely dispersed throughout England. All positively identified examples are considered to be nationally important.
Despite later development and disturbance, the remains of Otford Palace survive well. The upstanding remains include some significant architectural details such as Tudor-arched windows, moulded stone arches and fireplaces. Partial excavation has shown that the buried remains, such as the south and east ranges, are well preserved. Much of the original ground plan of the palace is likely to survive, which will provide valuable information regarding the layout and function of bishops’ palaces in the medieval period. The site has not been fully excavated and retains a high degree of potential for further investigation. It will contain archaeological and environmental information relating to the construction, use and history of the palace.

This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 15 December 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes the medieval palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury surviving as upstanding remains, earthworks and below ground archaeology. It is situated on a west facing slope to the east of the River Darent at the foot of the Darenth Valley.
The early 16th century palace is thought to have covered an area of approximately 134m by 67m. It was centred on two courtyards; an inner and outer court, divided by a central hall. The upstanding remains include part of the northern range of the outer court, the north-west tower and one side of the gatehouse. The north-west tower and gatehouse are constructed of red brick with blue headers and stone quoins and dressings. They have a rubble plinth with moulded stone coping and windows of one or two Tudor-arched lights, many of which are under hoodmoulds. The polygonal tower survives to three storeys high but the roof is now missing. It originally included a crenellated parapet and leaded roof. Some brick diapering is preserved on the south face of the tower and in the interior are fireplaces on each floor and remains of a stair to the south-east. The gatehouse includes two doorways under three-centred and four-centred moulded stone arches. It has a restored tiled roof hipped over half-octagonal ends. At the south-east corner are traces of an entrance arch. Between the tower and gatehouse are Castle Cottages, which are completely excluded from the scheduling, although their gardens are included. Castle Cottages incorporate remains of the palace on the ground floor but the first floor and roof above are modern additions. South of these buildings are further upstanding remains of the palace. In the back gardens of houses on Bubblestone Road is some early 16th century stone walling of the inner court of the palace. It is up to about 1.2m high and largely orientated east-west with some cross walls. Tudor brickwork is also embedded in the north banks of the small brook or culvert at the ends of the gardens. In the front gardens of houses on Bubblestone road is what is thought to be remains of the south precinct wall of the palace. It is early 16th century in date and built of stone rubble with later repair work.
Partial excavation has revealed the buried footings of the south and east range of the palace. These overlie remains of an earlier fortified manor house. The east range includes the foundations of at least four rooms. A drain leads to a series of garderobe shafts in the south range. Between the ranges is a square tower, approximately 13m wide. To the east of Castle Cottages, earthworks survive relating to medieval water management associated with the palace.
Otford Palace was built in about 1518 by Archbishop William Warham. It replaced an earlier manor house on the same site. Henry VIII was apparently entertained at the palace on several occasions. In about 1538 the palace was exchanged by Archbishop Cranmer with the King. In the later 16th century Elizabeth I granted the palace to Sir Robert Sidney. In the 17th century the land was sold to Sir Thomas Smith and passed to his descendants until it was purchased by Robert Parker in the late 18th century. The site was partially excavated in 1968, 1974, 1983 and 1986, and a geo-physical survey was carried out in 2001. The finds included one lead bull of Pope Lucius III (1181-5) and five lead bulls of Pope Urban III (1185-7), found in a medieval sewer on the site.
The north-west tower, remains of the gatehouse and Castle Cottages are Grade II* listed. The upstanding walls in the front and back gardens of houses on Bubblestone Road are Grade II listed.
Nördlich des 250-Seelen-Dorfes Bruderndorf (GM Oberhollabrunn, KO) steht an der Landesstrasse 26 nach Ernstbrunn dieses etwa 3,3m hohe Kruzifix aus dem üblichen Eichenholz. Es wird örtlich "Lederbauer-Kreuz" genannt. Es ruht in 217m SH am Fusse des Aichberges im Ried Haidholz auf einem kleinen Grundfundament an dem das Holzkreuz mittels Eisenklammern montiert ist. Zentral am Kreuz ein polychromer Blechschnittherrgott mit Dornenkrone, Gloriole und Lendenschurz. Unter dem Gekreuzigten eine polygone Tafel mit folgende Text: "O Kreuz, Du heiliges Siegeszeichen sei uns gegrüsst zu aller Zeit. Von Dir muss jedes Übel weichen, durch Dich naht Glück und Seligkeit". Darunter noch ein Renovierungshinweis der Besitzerfamilie Lederbauer aus 2017. Ein weitere Restaurierung erfolgte 1993. Ursprünglich stand das Vorgängerkreuz östlich von Bruderndorf am Waldrand und lässt sich dort an Hand von alten Karten bis ins Spätbarock zurück verfolgen.

Die Burg Herrenzimmern blieb in all den bisherigen Kriegen verschont, weil sie als uneinnehmbar galt. Die Burg brannte zwar durch Unvorsichtigkeit im Jahr 1504 aus, sie wurde jedoch bis zum Jahr 1513 durch Graf Gottfried Werner (1484-1554) uns seinen Bruder Graf Wilhelm Werner (1485-1575) wieder aufgebaut.

Tessellated Pavement
A tessellated pavement is a rare erosional feature formed in flat sedimentary rock formations lying on some ocean shores. The pavement bears this name because the rock has fractured into polygonal blocks that resemble tiles, or tessellations. The cracks (or joints) were formed when the rock fractured through the action of stress on the Earth's crust and subsequently were modified by sand and wave action.
A characteristic example of this formation may be found at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula of Tasmania. This example consists of two types of formations: a pan formation and a loaf formation.
The pan formation is a series of concave depressions in the rock that typically forms beyond the edge of the seashore. This part of the pavement dries out more at low tide than the portion abutting the seashore, allowing salt crystals to develop further; the surface of the "pans" therefore erodes more quickly than the joints, resulting in increasing concavity.
The loaf formations occur on the parts of the pavement closer to the seashore, which are immersed in water for longer periods of time. These parts of the pavement do not dry out so much, reducing the level of salt crystallisation. Water, carrying abrasive sand, is typically channeled through the joints, causing them to erode faster than the rest of the pavement, leaving loaf-like structures protruding.
Day 3 / 365
Folded from a regular hexadecagon of textured paper; final piece ~12 inches across. This is a refolding of a design I exhibited at 5OSME this summer-- but somehow never posted to Flickr.
Here we have the radial symmetry of the center color changes nested inside the asymmetry of the eilliptical tato; at the same time, the asymmetrical polygon approximation is juxtaposed within the regular polygon that I started with.
Large Onofrio’s Fountain:
As soon as you enter the Old Town to Stradun through the Pile Gate you see the large rounded polygonal shape structure with a cupola and 16 water taps.
This is known as the Large Onofrio’s Fountain, designed in 1438 by the prominent Italian architect Onofrio di Giordano della Cava.
Cava was an Italian architect from Napoli who got a job in the town to design the towns waterworks and fountains.
In the period from 1435 to 1442, Cava also designed and constructed a 12 km long water supply system that brought water from the Knežica spring, Šumet River in Rijeka Dubrovacka to the Old Town.
The waterworks were in use until the end of the 19th century.
The fountain is embellished by 16 stone carved masks (maskerons) and a statue of a dog that adorns the top walls of the fountain.
The fountain was badly damaged by the 1667 earthquake and rebuilt since.
We are inside Dubrovnik's old walled city and our Dubbrovnik Card gave us access the the town wall. We climbed the wall steep, narrow steps and the walk starts with a view down to the Jewish Fountain (Onofrio's Fountain). You must only walk one direction, or the wall police will be on your case.
The old city walls are one of Dubrovniks most popular features, now more than ever thanks to being featured in the hit TV series, Game of Thrones.
Built in the 10th century and modified in the 13th and 14th centuries, the formidable walls–as high as six meters in places, and up to six meters thick–provided a solid defence against invaders.
The walls offer numerous views over the Adriatic and inwards over the old city centre.
Took way too many shots, will try limit the number posted.
