I was hiking in Fryman Canyon today and took some pictures of some dead trees. I love the way they look, but I just can't get the right depth with my camera. Rather than trash the photos, I thought I'd play with them in photoshop. This one I played with "Replace Color."
Detail of the roof of the north transept. The transept roofs were replaced in the 15th century by the present East Anglian style angel roofs, with hammerbeams carved in the form of large angel figures, all richly coloured and gilded.
Ely Cathedral is in the top rank of the great English cathedrals, and indeed earns its place among the best of medieval churches internationally for its unique architecture and astonishing beauty. It is a church I've visited several times over the years and never fails to impress, its form at once imposing and strikingly individual. Owing to the flatness of the surrounding countryside it is visible from afar as a major landmark, which makes approaching this tiny city all the more enticing.
The church was founded as an abbey by St Etheldreda in 672 and didn't achieve cathedral status until the foundation of the diocese in 1109. Much of the present building dates from the following years, with the nave and transepts still substantially as they were built (aside from a few altered windows and later ceilings) and a fine example of Norman / Romanesque architecture. A little later during the 1170s the soaring west tower and western transepts were added which would have created a magnificent facade when complete and of a type rarely seen in this country. The style is richer with more use of ornamentation than before, but also many of the arches (particularly the upper parts of the tower) are pointed, making it an early example of the transition to Gothic (the octagonal top storey is from two centuries later, but follows the original overall plan in form, if not detail). The north-west transept however collapsed in the late 15th century and was never rebuilt, leaving the front of the cathedral will the curiously lopsided but not unattractive west front we see today. The Galilee porch that projects from the base of the tower dates from the beginning of the 13th century, only a few decades later but now fully Gothic in style.
The Norman eastern limb had been fairly short so the next major building phases saw the great eastward extension of the presbytery built in Gothic style in 1234-50. It makes an interesting contrast with the earlier parts of the building being so rich in style, externally punctuated with pinnacles and flying buttresses and profusely ornamented withing, making the Romanesque nave and transepts seem somewhat austere by comparison. Then in 1321 an ambitious new lady chapel was begun at the north-east corner, but soon afterwards work was delayed by unforeseen events.
In 1322 the old Norman central tower collapsed, bringing down with it most of the old Romanesque choir (but not the recently built presbytery beyond). The aftermath left the cathedral with a gaping hole at its heart, but this must have inspired those charged with its recovery, and under the direction of Alan of Walsingham the crossing was rebuilt in a unique way; rather than build a new tower of a similar form the central piers that supported it were entirely cleared away along with the adjoining bay of nave, transepts and choir to create a much larger octagonal central space. This then rose to become the unique central tower that Ely is so famous for, the Octagon, a combination of a lower octagonal tower built of stone crowned by a delicate lantern built of wood and covered with lead externally. The result is an incredible, piece of architecture, and the view inside of the open space rising to the curved vaults above on which the glazed lantern appears to float is unforgettable.
After the Octagon and beautifully spacious and richly adorned Lady Chapel were completed there was no more major work at the cathedral. The transept roofs were replaced in the 15th century with the wooden hammerbeam structures we see today, adorned with large angel figures in the East Anglian tradition. The most significant late medieval additions are the two sumptuously decorated chantry chapels built within the end of each choir aisle, each a riot of later medieval ornament and Bishop West's also being remarkable for its fusion of Gothic and Renaissance detail. The cloister appears to have been rebuilt at a similar stage though sadly very little of it survives today.
Sadly the Reformation saw a wave of iconoclasm of particular ferocity unleashed here in Ely. The most telling reminder is the Lady Chapel with its richly ornamented arcading carved with hundreds of small scenes and figures, all brutally beheaded (not a single head survives). Free standing statues in niches have all gone without trace, but in the case of Bishop West's chantry chapel the topmost figures were carved in relief, so these were hammered away leaving the mutilated remains as a testament to zealotry and intolerance. Most of the stained glass appears to have also been removed around this time, so there was surprisingly little damage here during the Civil War a century later as the Puritan frenzy had already been unleashed.
A corner of the north transept collapsed in 1699 but was rebuilt almost identically, a rare early example of such an exacting approach to reconstruction. The classical form of a window and doorway below are the only reminders of the rebuilding, some say with advice from Christopher Wren whose uncle had been bishop here decades earlier (Wren knew the cathedral as a result, and the Octagon is believed to have inspired his plans for St Paul's, as the ground plans of the Octagon and his domed central space at St Paul's are remarkably similar).
The cathedral saw further changes in the 18th century when the structure was in need of repair. James Essex was called in to repair the Octagon and the wooden lantern was stabilised but its external was appearance simplified by stripping away much of its original detail. The medieval choir stalls had originally sat directly underneath the Octagon with painted walls on either side, but these were removed at this time and the stalls relocated further east to the position they are in now. Sadly the Norman pulpitum screen at the end of the nave was also removed (the earliest of its kind to survive in any cathedral).
By the mid 19th century tastes had changed again and the Victorian preference for richness over Georgian austerity saw the cathedral restored under the direction of George Gilbert Scott. He restored the Octagon lantern to something much closer to its original appearance and added new screens at the crossing and behind the altar. Stained glass gradually filled the cathedral again and it remains one of the richest collections of Victorian glass in the country. The ceiling of the nave which had been left plain for centuries was given a new richly painted finish with scenes from the Old & New Testaments, begun by Henry le Strange but finished by Thomas Gambier Parry after the former had died halfway through the project. Gambier Parry also undertook the lavish redecoration of the interior of the Octagon lantern.
The cathedral has remained little change since and is one of the rewarding in the country. There is much of beauty to enjoy here beyond the architecture, with many interesting tombs and monuments from the medieval and post-Reformation periods. There is a wealth of stained glass of unusual richness; not everyone appreciates Victorian glass (indeed Alec Clifton Taylor was quite scathing about the glass here) but while it is very mixed I find much of it is of remarkably high quality.
Since 1972 the Stained Glass Museum has been housed in the nave triforium (originally on the north side, it was later transferred to the south where it currently remains). This is the only collection in the country solely devoted to the medium and is a great ambassador for it, with fine pieces covering a range of styles and illustrating the development of the art through the various backlit panels on show in the gallery.
Visitors can usually take tours to ascend the Octagon and even the west tower on more select days. Tours do get booked up though so it took me many visits before I could make my ascent, but happily this time I finally managed it and it was a wonderful experience I won't forget. Frustratingly I was unable to ascend the west tower since I was at a symposium on the day when tours were held so I hope to have better luck next time.

Built in 1923-1924, this Italian Renaissance Revival-style building was designed by William Lee Stoddart for Edwin Wiley Grove, replacing a previous hotel of the same name that stood on the site from 1886 until 1922. The previous hotel, a sprawling Queen Anne-style structure, was host to many notable guests during its existence, and stood atop Battery Porter Hill, which served as a Confederate artillery battery during the Civil War. The hill and hotel that once stood upon it were leveled to make way for the expansion of the commercial business district of Downtown Asheville, with the present hotel having a compact footprint to allow for the most efficient use of the increasingly valuable land. As part of the redevelopment of the site of the Battery Park Hotel, the Grove Arcade was constructed on the south side of Battle Square, and material from the hotel and the hill were used to fill in ravines along Coxe Avenue.
The hotel, while it was in operation, saw several tragic incidents. The first notable tragic incident was on January 27, 1927, when Edwin Wiley Grove died at the hotel while overseeing the construction of the Grove Arcade across the street. The second notable incident occurred in Room 224 on July 17, 1936, when 19-year-old college student Helen Clevenger was found brutally murdered inside her hotel room by staff. A black man, 22-year old Martin Moore, who served as a hall boy at the hotel, was convicted of her murder and executed, though today it is unclear if he was actually guilty of the crime. The third incident occurred on September 4, 1943, when Clifton Alheit, a federal government official, fell from the roof to the ground below, in what is believed to have been suicide. Despite the tragedies, the hotel remained in operation until 1972, when it closed due to competition from newer hotels in the Asheville area.
The 14-story building features a reinforced concrete structure, which is clad in red brick. The base of the building features red brick and limestone cladding, with limestone trim, two retail spaces on the ground floor under the front terrace, stone balustrades and pergolas with ionic columns at the front terrace, rusticated brick cladding at the base of the tower, which extends upwards to the fourth floor, three arched bays at the center of the second floor of the tower, six-over-six double-hung windows, and two three-story podiums flanking the T-shaped tower, which feature arched window bays and rooftop balustrades. Above the fourth floor, the tower features decorative trim surrounds at the windows on the fifth and sixth floors, which includes broken pediments on the fifth floor, cartouches between the fifth and sixth floors, decorative panels between windows on the fifth floor, and a pediment above the window at the central bay of the fifth floor. The central section of the tower, between the fifth and twelfth floors, is relatively plain, with window bays that line up with those below and above them, and brick quoins at the corners of the building. At the twelfth floor, several windows feature wrought iron railings, while at the thirteenth floor, the exterior is clad in tile, with limestone belt coursing at the sill line of the thirteenth floor windows, and a hipped bonnet red terra cotta tile roof with bracketed eaves sits at the two wings of the tower that end at the thirteenth floor. The fourteenth floor of the hotel features large arched window bays with limestone trim, cartouches, limestone ionic columns flanking the three bays on the south facade of the tower, wrought iron balconies at the bays on the south facade, a chimney at the northeast corner of the tower, and a red terra cotta tile bonnet roof with bracketed eaves at the top of the tower.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and is a contributing structure in the Downtown Asheville Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and adjusted to its present size in 2011. Today, the building serves as subsidized housing for senior citizens, with retail tenants on the ground floor along Battle Square.
Author's Note: this building is listed as being "Classical Revival" in its National Register of Historic Places listing, but I disagree with this assessment. The building's design, though featuring some Classical elements, seems to draw more elements and inspiration from Italian Renaissance Architecture and is not really rigid enough in its proportions, placement of ornament, and window bay placement to be a Classical Revival building. Additionally, the use of broken pediments on the fifth floor, an element drawn from Baroque architecture, the heavily bracketed eaves of the roofs, which is drawn from Italian Renaissance architecture, and the ornate motifs on the trim at the fifth and sixth floors, which take the same shape as the front facade of an Italian Renaissance or Baroque church, are more Renaissance Revival in character than Classical Revival. Arched bays further suggest that Italian Renaissance architecture, which places heavy emphasis on arched bays, is the source of inspiration for the design of this building.

Industry professionals are frequently complaining about the shortage of talented individuals despite scores of college students graduating each year. Although unemployment remains lower for a few years, yet the underemployment rate is growing – despite the impressive rate of annual job creation. Moreover, underemployment is the most significant problem in software industry. Companies are unable to find the appropriate talent despite having a large pool of graduates. After years of studies and experimentation, most researchers are of the view that promoting talent on-demand is the most appropriate approach to fill the voids.

Buses replace trains for the 20 miles of route between Three Bridges and Brighton. This is for engineering works but are they really working on the entire 20 mile stretch of track and if not, what aren't the trains running apart from where they are actually working?
Heating/hot water system. The white box is a heat exchanger that burns natural gas and heats water on demand. The plumbing to the right supplies the home hot water and three heating zones. We replaced the white box and all the copper plumbing directly below it. Five days with no heat/hot water. We kept things going with space heaters and showers at the University Bluffs apartments.
