Sorry, in the previous posting I mistakenly referred to myself as the boss at RBW, well, on second thoughts, here's the one who runs the show, the voice at the end of the phone, and the one who keeps the paperwork in check! In spite of all that, and being of the female persuasion, my eldest daughter Laura isn't afraid of getting stuck in either. The picture was taken a few years ago, but she hasn't changed much. Sadly, today she's hurting through the loss of a very dear pet.
The main reason for visiting Cambridge was to see King's College Chapel.
I must first than two friends, Simon K and Aidan for posting shots from Cambridge and so firing up my desire to visit.
Things fell into place and I found myself on a train last Sunday, and a place on the first tour of the day Monday morning.
I will add more thoughts as I post shots, but this for a start.
Quite the strongest emotional response I have ever had to a building, I had to choke back tears!
All chairs and seating have been removed, so there is just the building.
"Just."
Just a handful of us early visitors had the entire chapel to ourselves.
I followed up, not on purpose, a Japanese lady who was walking round with an i phone of a selfie stick, recording herself walking round the chapel, rather than the chapel itself. Which I know is her choice.
I saw the wonderful glass in the windows of the side chapel, so decided to photograph those too. Took some time.
No restrictions on photography, just don't "use flash on the Rubens" in the chancel. I was told.
In truth, there's more than enough in the Chapel for a whole day, as I'm sure new details would reveal themselves each time you looked.
I walked out into the college grounds, to walk to the bridge over the river. I mean, really, there was no one else out there, and a couple of punts were drifting past, so I wandered round the large square of grass, half of which had been apparently wild flowers, but now cut to look like a rough lawn.
The chapel has a 16th sundial, and marvellous lead drain downpipes. I snap them all.
-------------------------------------------
Begun by Henry VI, completed under the direction of Henry VII, the glass scheme installed under the somewhat-disinterested Henry VIII. 'The heart and soul of early 20th Century Anglicanism' according to M R James, the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols begun here during the First World War helped invent the modern Christmas. The fan vaulting is spectacular, the proportions (300ft long, 40ft wide, 90ft high) almost shocking in their single-minded Perpendicular triumphalism. The Chapel vies with Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals as the best single medieval building in Cambridgeshire, but the vast scheme of early 16th Century glass is undoubtedly the biggest and best of its kind anywhere in the British Isles.

-------------------------------------------
King's College Chapel is the chapel of King's College in the University of Cambridge. It is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture and features the world's largest fan vault.[3] The Chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses and three subsequent decades. The Chapel's large stained glass windows were completed by 1531, and its early Renaissance rood screen was erected in 1532–36. The Chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King's College Choir. It is a landmark and a commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge.
Henry VI planned a university counterpart to Eton College (whose Chapel is very similar, but not on the scale intended by Henry). The King decided the dimensions of the Chapel. Reginald Ely was most likely the architect and worked on the site since 1446.[6] Two years earlier Reginald was charged with sourcing craftsmen for the Chapel's construction.[6] He continued to work on the site until building was interrupted in 1461, having probably designed the elevations.[6] The original plans called for lierne vaulting, and the piers of the choir were built to conform with them.[6] Ultimately, a complex fan vault was constructed instead.[6] Reginald probably designed the window tracery at the extreme east of the church's north side: the east window of the easternmost side chapel, which unlike the Perpendicular style of the others is in curvilinear Gothic style.[6] The priest and later bishop Nicholas Close (or Cloos) was recorded as the "surveyor", having been the curate of St John Zachary, a church demolished to make way for the Chapel.[7][8][9]
The first stone of the Chapel was laid, by Henry himself, on the Feast of St James the Apostle, 25 July 1446, the College having been begun in 1441. By the end of the reign of Richard III (1485), despite the Wars of the Roses, five bays had been completed and a timber roof erected. Henry VII visited in 1506, paying for the work to resume and even leaving money so that the work could continue after his death. In 1515, under Henry VIII, the building was complete but the great windows had yet to be made.
The Chapel features the world's largest fan vault, constructed between 1512 and 1515 by master mason John Wastell. It also features fine medieval stained glass and, above the altar, The Adoration of the Magi by Rubens, painted in 1634 for the Convent of the White Nuns at Louvain in Belgium. The painting was installed in the Chapel in 1968; this involved the lowering of the Sanctuary floor leading up to the High Altar. It had been believed that gradations were created in 1774 by James Essex, when Essex had in fact lowered the floor by 5 1/2 inches,[10] but at the demolition of these steps, it was found that the floor instead rested on Tudor brick arches.
During the removal of these Tudor steps, built at the Founder's specific request that the high altar should be 3 ft above the choir floor, human remains in intact lead coffins with brass plaques were discovered, dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, and were disinterred.[12]
The eventual installation of the Rubens was also not without problems: once seen beneath the east window, a conflict was felt between the picture's swirling colours and those of the stained glass.[13][title missing] The Rubens was also a similar shape to the window, which "dwarfed it and made it look rather like a dependent postage stamp".[14] Plain shutters were proposed, one on each side, to give it a triptych shape (although the picture was never part of a triptych) and lend it independence of form, which is how one sees the Rubens today. The installation was designed by architect Sir Martyn Beckett, who was "philosophical about the furore this inevitably occasioned - which quickly became acceptance of a solution to a difficult problem."[15]
During the Civil War the Chapel was used as a training ground by Oliver Cromwell's troops, but escaped major damage, possibly because Cromwell, having been a Cambridge student, gave orders for it to be spared. Graffiti left by these soldiers is still visible on the north and south walls near the altar.[16] During World War II most of the stained glass was removed and the Chapel again escaped damage.[17]
I am posting this as part of another small project. The social outlets tend to post photos like this as memes to show what the price of this or that is when a new President takes office. As of 1.20.25, we have a new Commander In Chief in the U.S. I'm not posting this to be political. Argue amongst yourselves elsewhere. I'm just posting what the price is when Donald Trump returns to office. Let's see where it goes from here.
Posting this photo from my July 2013 avgeek summer vacation to Paine Field for you to enjoy in July 2015. Hope you like... from my former Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 megazoom days now behind me.
Posting this at the end of the day because I wanted to finish the dress on Amaris (right).
Happy Labor Day to all my Flickr friends!

Posting these a year late, amazing how much can change in a short time. After being denied entry into Lebanon, I went back to the UK for a couple of weeks. Everyone was surprised, the good ones pleasantly so.

Debated posting these or not, but I just love this to much not to. Made my girl a fleece shirt that looks like Houndoom last year for Halloween, and it was super simple and easy to make. I used a pattern from a Simplicity crafts set (number 9520, pattern E) and modified it slightly; using a single layer of polar fleece so as not to worry about finishing edges, I folded the "collar" piece over when I sewed it on, then used that same pattern piece to cut out 3 more section to sew across the back (folding the mid-section partly for each ascending piece), I doubled the leg piece using the gray for the lower half and sewing a simple seam across the middle of the gray section, and for the chest badge I just cut out around a large round object and free-form cut out two "eyes". I just used a simple zig-zag stitch to applique the chest badge and bars down the back on. If you wanted to get more nit-picky, you could add some poly-fil to the accents to make them stand out more, but she thoroughly enjoys hers as a nice winter sweater. The Pokeball is needle felted from 100% wool, natural white and natural black, red is dyed with fruit punch flavored Kool-aid.
I just found out today is Sue, Saving Memories' birthday. She is wonderful and full of humor!

Posting some of the earlies shots of the trip again. These were the first glimpses of Holland/ Netherlands I saw when our flight KL 692 was on final approach to luchthaven Schiphol Amsterdam.
Amsterdam is in the province of Noord Holland but our flight flew over the Zuid Holland province during landing.

Apologies for my absence. This may give you a clue as to my whereabouts. If any rail buff can provide info I'd be very grateful.
Posting a day early so that friends overseas will get my best wishes in time. Have a happy day, everyone! This is a photo from my archives, from way back on 16th October, 2009.
Today I am posting a few old pictures from years gone by that I didn't post at the time for whatever reason.
I took this one during the 2022 Northern California trip, and I liked the little compartments of individual action. I didn't post it at the time because I had about a half-dozen pictures of this beach that included the Golden Gate Bridge at that angle -- this one, this one, and this one, for instance -- and the light here was the worst of them all.
Fun Fact: That couple on the left was having "We're about to have a baby and are using our last little bit of free time on a photo shoot" pictures taken by a professional photographer just out of view to the left. Subtract the photographer, and it looks like a weird moment. That baby is just over two years old now.

I figure I'm long overdue for a new blog posting so I thought my new hobby would be a good subject to write about. I setup a new Saltwater Reef Aquarium this past weekend. I have been thinking about doing this for a while now and finally took the plunge (no pun intended). Salt water aquariums are a lot of work (research and learning more than anything) but the payoffs can be great.
I used to keep a saltwater aquarium in my late-teen years but it was more difficult back then due to access and price of quality equipment and livestock, lack of information (internet resources), and other things needed that are more easily attainable today. I did a "Saltwater Fish ONLY" aquarium back in the day because most of the fish stores around didn't have things like corals, live rock, and live sand that are more readily available today. Building a "Fish Only Tank" versus a "Reef Tank" takes a slightly different approach and equipment/supplies. I'm going for the Reef Tank which will allow me to eventually house fish AND live corals.
I'm not going to go into great detail here about how to setup a Saltwater Reef Aquarium (there are tons of sources on the internet that can explain everything) but I will say that every hobbyist has different opinions on what you should and should not do. This is frustrating when researching how to build a Saltwater aquarium because one person says one thing and another says the opposite (so what's the best way to do it???). Well, I say if you can learn the basic requirements, follow the strict rules on "Biological Cycling" (your tank will go through chemical cycles over time that can be very dangerous to inhabitants if not managed properly), and most of all "BE PATIENT", then in all probability you will have a successful Saltwater aquarium.
Ok, so enough of all that jazz... here are the basics of my new aquarium and what I've done so far...
SUPPLIES/EQUIPMENT & SETUP:
* Oceanic Biocube 29 Gallon Aquarium w/Stand (biological wet/dry filtration system and lighting all included)
* API Pharma - Reef Master Test Kit
* Instant Ocean Hydrometer
* Reef Crystals Salt 55 Gal
* Silver Spring Water (5 gal jugs * 6)
* Stealth Shatter Proof Heater - 100 Watt (up to 30 Gallons)
* Corallife Digital Thermometer
* Marina Aquarium Glass Thermometer (for mixing water changes only)
* Hydor Koralia Turbo Pump - Flow Rate 2 (2300 L/H 600 GPH)
* Medium Acrylic Aquarium Magnet Cleaner
* Chemi-Pure Elite - 1 full unit for 5-40 gallons
* Aragalive Bahamas Oolit Live Sand (20 lbs)
* Live Rock (17.15 lbs)So I mixed all the Salt + Spring Water on Sunday, filled the tank, and got everything running. Then I went to my LFS (Local Fish Store) and bought Live Sand & Fully-Cured Live Rock and put in the tank. The Live Sand and Live Rock most likely have been in real oceans and/or other salt-water tanks for a long time and have developed beneficial bacterial cultures needed for your tank's Biological Cycling process as they help to break down Ammonia and Nitrites (produced from fish waste, uneaten food, decaying matter, etc.). When I was doing this 15-20 years ago, Live Sand and Live Rock were not available and it would take months, if not years to build up enough of your own bacteria to successfully break down harmful chemicals from waste depending on the size of your Bio-Load (amount of living things in your tank). The great thing about Live Rock and Live Sand is that it helps to speed up the cycling process so you can introduce
live stock more quickly. But your tank still needs to cycle properly and be monitored carefully or adding too many live things too fast can CRASH the entire eco-system (A CRASH = too much harmful waste from the animals and not enough micro-bacteria to break it down into less harmful chemicals = and everything dies!). The idea is to add your live stock as slowly and patiently as possible (over months, if not years - even with live rock & sand that already has some bacteria cultures on it) - do it SLOWLY.
So what's next...?
I'm planning to start stocking my new tank with a "Clean-Up Crew" slowly over a 1-2 month period. A Clean-Up Crew consists of small animals like Crabs, Hermit Crabs, Shrimp, and Snails that all play a part in keeping your eco-system clean. Many species munch on different types of algae, decaying matter, parasites, and some even keep the sand well aerated -- an important thing if you use sand as your aquarium base - sand can trap detritus (waste material) and with no oxygen getting to the sand, you could develop a harmful environment quickly. The idea for stocking a clean-up crew is to add-slowly (just like everything else). Buy 2-3 small creatures per week (depending on the size of your tank). Yes the clean-up crew will eat waste but they will also produce their own waste as well - causing spikes in your tank's biological cycle. The spikes in harmful chemicals will start to go down as more bacteria grows on your rocks and sand to break it down.
When all harmful levels go back to Zero (essentially your tank has gone through a cycle), you can start adding more of your clean-up crew slowly (no more than a couple at a time). If you add too many animals too fast, there will be too much waste for the bacteria to keep up with and... CRASH.
When can I start adding fish and how many?
Good question. This will depend mostly on how fast the tank cycles as you add new creatures. I expect I may be able to add my first fish after 1-2 months after a clean-up crew is established (unless my tank cycles quicker than expected). With a tank this size (29 gallon which is more like 20 gallon after adding rock & sand), you can't really have too many creatures for many of the reasons I've stated above. But over time I hope to have about 3-5 small fish such as Clown Fish (a Nemo), and other colorful specimens. The rest of the tank will be crabs, snails, and shrimp.
When can I start adding Live Corals and how many?
I'm still researching this. I know that corals are more sensitive to water conditions and require very good lighting, pH, Calcium, and other dissolved things to thrive in a small tank like this. Is it possible to keep corals in a tank this size? Absolutely, you just have to do your research and be patient. I suspect that I can start adding live corals after I've added a few fish and the tank is properly cycled and all required water parameters are SOLID. More on Corals later...
So, have you seen any visible life of your Live Rock yet?
Yes! Live Rock usually comes from different oceans of the world (popular places like: Figi, the Carribean, Hawaii, etc.) and many pieces of Live Rock have been sitting in established aquariums for long periods of time (introducing a wide variety of things that like to live on and in these rocks). So far I have seen a number of Fan Worms otherwise known as Feather Dusters, Bristle Worms, and some sort of small shrimp-like thing. I was hoping to see a small star fish or two taking a hitch-hike but they may not thrive in my tank yet anyway as they require ample amounts of algae and nutrients to survive (which will become more present as the tank develops).
I'll post more as my new Saltwater Reef Tank develops... thanks for reading.
As is evident, I'm far behind in posting photos here. This batch is all from May 2022. Only almost 6 months late. But I will get caught up, some day.
Most of this batch exhibits many of my perfect shoes, perfectly or nearly perfectly worn as I like them. The warm weather also has me often wearing rubber footwear of various styles. Over the summer I added to my collection of rubber footwear of various makes. More of those photos will soon come.
I wore these functional but well worn Nike Air Huaraches today. Very comfortable shoes. The design of these is different from the ones I'm familiar with. The red elastic cloth piece across the heel is much more "stretchable" than the ones with a one piece rubber strap. And I don't know what the hooks on the sides of the blue strap are for. Was there another piece that is gone from this pair that served some function?
Whatever, these are comfortable shoes and I'll wear them for years.
