Another shot of incredible victorians in North London (Highbury).
This is where i lived in summer of 2006, Highbury Quadrant.
Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
A simple example homemade last year with Spirality software. , easy to use, fun to create. Then made into a quadrant.
The plastic squares are used to delineate a fixed area on the ocean floor, and then survey the animals inside.

RD9275. Signal No.1 at the newly re-modelled and re-signalled Porthmadog Harbour Station on the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. And no, it's not Borth y Gest, despite what it says under the map!
Other than signal No.1, I'm not sure how to describe it. I am assuming that the signals at the end of the platform, signals 7A and 7B, are the Starters, and there is an Advance Starter further out on The Cob. So what is signal No.1?
No doubt there are signalling experts that can tell me.

The the right of the street (The Quadrant) is a row of grade II listed historic buildings constructed c. 1860 with subsequent alterations. To the left are the Buxton Thermal Baths, a grade II listed historic structure built originally 1852-1853 with subsequent rebuilding and alterations. Outside of the baths is The Colonnade, a grade II listed historic structure with a similar building history to the baths.
"Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands region of England. It has the highest elevation – about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level – of any market town in England. Close to the county boundary with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is described as "the gateway to the Peak District National Park". A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities lying primarily to the north, including Glossop, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. Despite being in the East Midlands, economically Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester. The population of the town was 22,115 at the 2011 Census.
Buxton landmarks include Poole's Cavern, an extensive limestone cavern open to the public, and St Ann's Well, fed by the geothermal spring bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. Also in the town is the Buxton Opera House, which hosts several music and theatre festivals each year. The Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby is housed in one of the town's historic buildings." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

The Quadrant on Warwick Road in Coventry.
Saw my first plaque here as I arrived in the City Centre. Made a minor detour to have a close look!
It is a Grade II listed building.

The fine array of semaphores at Abergavenny is lit up by the evening light. The Abergavenny signaller is at work in the box, readying the route for the upcoming Midland Pullman ECS heading to Crewe. A few rather decrepit sidings cling on in the right of the photograph. I really do love the Welsh Marches.
not sure if this is the reason... but this is a full size statue near the University in Halifax, Nova Scotia
The First Quebec Conference (codenamed "QUADRANT") was a highly secret military conference held during World War II between the British, Canadian and United States governments. The conference was held in Quebec City, August 17, 1943 – August 24, 1943. It took place at the Citadelle and at the Château Frontenac. The chief representatives were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, hosted by Canada's prime minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King.[
The allies agreed to begin discussions for the planning of the invasion of France, codenamed Overlord in a secret report by the Combined Chiefs of Staff. There were also discussions to increase the bombing offensive against Germany and continue the buildup of American forces in Britain prior to an invasion of France. In the Mediterranean (a theatre on which Churchill was very keen) they resolved to concentrate more force to remove Italy from the alliance of Axis Powers and to occupy it along with Corsica.
There were discussions about improving the coordination of efforts by the Americans, British and Canadians to develop an atomic bomb.
It was decided that operations in the Balkans should be limited to supplying guerrillas whereas operations against Japan would be intensified in order to exhaust Japanese resources, cut their communications lines and secure forward bases from which the Japanese mainland could be attacked.
In addition to the strategic discussions, which were communicated to the Soviet Union and to Chiang Kai-Shek in China, the conference also issued a joint statement on Palestine, intended to calm tensions as the British occupation was becoming increasingly untenable. The conference also condemned German atrocities in Poland.
Churchill and Roosevelt also secretly signed the Quebec Agreement to share nuclear technology.
Following the conference, Churchill holidayed at a fishing camp and then, on August 31, 1943, delivered a radio address before travelling by special train to Washington, D.C. to resume talks with Roosevelt. Wikipedia
Spotted along Morphett Street during my lunchtime walk. Since I have been looking at the fantastic architecture shots in some Flickr groups, I have been inspired to try more geometric shots.

Quadrant Flower Cube 6 units
A basic, grid based cube, although interestingly in this design, the units join at the edges of the squares of the paper, rather than at the vertices.
Designed by me.
Folded out of kami paper.

A pair of very tall brick Observation Towers dating from World War Two stand on Grimston Warren. Both of the quadrant towers are built from four brickwork columns, connected approximately half way up with steel tie rods, the columns are also connected at the top with a concrete ring beam.
Usually there is a concrete superstructure on top, used by the observers, in this case the tower probably held a wooden superstructure attached by bolts to the concrete ring beam sitting on top of the columns. Some of the wooden remains and fixings can be seen. Both of the towers show some concrete foundations at the base indicating where a staircase was mounted for access.
Nearby are some cropmarks of a large circle with a large central ''bullseye'' at reference TF 6780 2214, this is believed to represent the remains of a World War Two bomb target.
INFORMATION BOARD -
This tower and its twin, which can be seen in the distance to the north, were constructed by the army and date from the Second World War.
They were used for artillery training by the Royal Observation Corps. Guns fired shells at a target and observers measured the shell trajectories and determined the accuracy of each shot. The two view points were necessary to pi point the exact position each shell fell.
This tower was entirely hidden within a dense conifer plantation from the 1960’s. It was only the felling of trees in 2009 as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's heathland restoration project that has once again revealed the tower. For the first time in decades the original sight-line between the two observation towers has been opened up.
BEWARE ORDNANCE ‼️
There are also the remains of other military features dating from around the time Second World War, including slit trenches, and gun emplacements. Occasionally the remains of shells and other ordnance are found here. Should you find any metal objects which you think may be ordnance please do not handle them but safely mark the location and report your findings to Norfolk Wildlife Trust on 01603 625540.

Finally found my way into the house I have been trying to get into. Not sure how much more I can access, but there is a "treasure trove of abandonment" in this small room. I'm not sure which is more limited, the light or the space. Luckily I was able to use the Wi-Fi on the camera, drop the camera in a corner, and shoot from there. I will definitely be going back.
Now complete with the rather stylish 'cuciform' chimneys. A very short video that will give some idea of the volume of the model.
To be fair, with respect to their analysis, Gartner typically gets it right. Just not this time.
The problem is that SCRM is a relatively new concept with little in terms of real world business application experience. Therefore, the Gartner research is not likely based on empirical knowledge, but on their opinion of the vendors’ solutions and business strategy that was presented to them.
For the few of us that are using SCRM tools as mission critical business solutions, their SCRM Magic Quadrant is more illusion than conclusion. For example, how does Jive manage to secure the top spot on the Quadrant when there isn’t a Vice President of Sales on the planet that will choose them to manage their customer relationship, opportunity, pipeline and forecasting information?
Mainly or exclusively used for the TF two-speed fixed hub, in production from 1933-1942. Maybe used for the TC (1936-42) also, although I have seen a 2-speed trigger for this hub.

Far from completion, these are simply test shots for a commissioned piece based on the Crescent at Buxton in Derbyshire. In fact the model will portray just a quadrant of a whole circle rather than the semicircle of the inspiration. I've just got the facade put together so far - there will be a squared off building at each end, and of course, as yet there is no roof.
