I had a couple attempts at shooting the Quadrant before I was happy with it. The angles are very strange. The Quadrant is a very lucky pub - there's been a lot of re-development around the clock tower, but since the interior has listed status, so must keep all it's original features, the pub has been left standing while a lot of the surrounding buildings and infrastructure are new.

I started with an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulated the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.
Now installing a shower enclosure has never been easier. The stylish Slot and Lock Quadrant from Aqualux is a new concept for the UK market. Using the innovative Slot and Lock system, it is the first in a series of unique, screwless enclosures, which take as little as 5 minutes to assemble.

After a busy day exploring Venice, Mike and I returned to our hotel -- the Best Western Titian Inn Hotel Venice Airport -- to shower and relax. As we hadn't eaten since lunchtime, we asked the front desk clerks if there were any good restaurants nearby. They suggested Al Quadrante (Via Orlanda 258, Tessera), which was just a short walk (a little over 500 feet) from the hotel; and they even gave us a card for a free apertif.
The restaurant proved to be clean, bright, and a bit quirky, with locals and fellow tourists filling the tables around us. The choices were plentiful (with various seafood, meat, and pizza options), and the prices were affordable. We had a much better experience here than during our lunch in Venice...

4157. We have moved this image from an earlier uploading position in order to bring this delightfully shabby nasty old dockyard sequence together for your enjoyment....
Her dark, streaked hull looking disreputable beside the gleaming new Battle Class destroyer HMAS ANZAC [II], the Q Class HMAS QUADRANT awaits her frigate conversion at Williamstown Naval Dockyard in Melbourne.
QUADRANT had been towed from Sydney down to Williamstown by the heavy cruiser HMAS AUSTRALIA [II] in February 1950, and she would be recommissioned as a Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate on July 16, 1953. As previously mentioned, however, HMAS QUADRANT's hull and machinery would prove to be tired, and she was laid up only four years later, well ahead of her sister ships. She was sold to the Japanese company Kinoshita for scrapping in 1963.

The question when the Quadrant opened has been asked and I found a copy of the proposed stand allocations together with a note on the reverse which said:- "Quadrant Phase l - all Coach Station services transfer first on 6 November 1878.

Lewis Carroll wrote this little text to introduce Victorian children to the concepts of logic. He devised a game, the game of logic, which takes place on a square grid divided into four quadrants. A player uses colored markers to diagram the meaning of propositions such as “some cakes are sweet” and “all tigers are fierce.” The game does a decent job of teaching basic logical theory, coming as it does from the author of “Alice in Wonderland” who, along with his whimsical literary interest in nonsense, was a gifted mathematician.
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.

I've been working on some interactive audio triggering for Kate Vrijmoet, an artist with a gallery in Seattle's Tashiro Kaplan building. If you're in the area come and see/hear how the piece turned out.
This is a screenshot of my side of things. In practice, the top left quadrants will be filled with video from a camera with a wide angle lens hanging above the space. The four larger rectangles in the center will show when computation is being done with input from the video. If that sounds vague, you'll have to come check it out in person this Thursday!
(I promise I'll take a more useful screenshot on Thursday, and some video of people interacting with the space as well.)
Here's the information from Kate herself:
Mother, may I...?
Mother, may I...? is an interactive sound installation by Kate Vrijmoet. It focuses on issues of permission and boundary violation, and requires visitors to provoke, with every footfall, a torrent of harshly whispered questions, merely for entering the room. Visitors may try to discern the origin of the whispers, which arise from a source not easily located. There is a way for visitors to stop the whispering, but it will take them a very long time to work it out.
Visitors who have personal issues with being talked about, in a hissing way, or with being sharply admonished for doing nothing very bad, should probably stay out.
Visitors able to set those issues aside for a time will explore such questions as: What happens when the rules aren't immediately apparent? What, and where, is the art? And, do you helplessly violate boundaries, somewhere, with every breath you take?
Welcome.
