On the same day as I photographed the Swainsons Hawk in flight I FINALLY managed a few shots of a Great Horned Owl I have been trying to capture on film since the early fall. He has been all too elusive and despite seeing him numerous times this is the first time I have been able to capture him on film.
I have a few series of him in flight and really like the way the late evening light enhanced his colours.This time of year can be so amazing for capturing scenics and wildlife with the sun being low to the horizon most of the day.

I saw this guy on the streetcar on the way to meet up with Derek at Union Station and then again on our trip to Queen West.
His jacket has a bunch of embroidery on it and I noticed on the way to Union in one spot it said "Art Official Intelligence". Hmmmm ... did they mean to do that??

One of four former fireplaces in Salle des Gens d’Armes (Hall of the Men-at-Arms), that is still mostly the same as it was in the 14C.
Built between 1302 and 1313 by Enguerrand de Marigny, the four-aisled Gothic hall is 64m long, 27.5 wide and 8.5m high, a similar size to the those of the Mont-Saint-Michel and the Popes’ Palace in Avignon. The room was used as a dining room for the 2,000 staff members, for royal banquets and for judicial proceedings.
During the Revolution, this room was used as a communal jail for those who could not afford to pay for incarceration in the cells.
The dark hall was once heated by four large fireplaces and lit by many windows. On the southern side windows have since been blocked up by the addition of later buildings, while those on its northern and western walls are partially obscured because of the rise in ground level engendered by the construction of the Quai d'Horloge in 1580-1610.
The Salle's quadripartite vaults are divided into nine bays longitudinally and four bays laterally and are supported on solid round piers decorated with foliage capitals, except the central row, which was heavily reinforced in the 19C (and consequently lost their original capitals) after one of the vaults collapsed in 1812. (The old Grand Salle above was vaulted in wood, but its replacement following the 1618 fire was vaulted in stone, the weight of which eventually proved too much for the medieval structure underneath). Despite the clumsiness of the reinforced piers, the Salle appears remarkably airy, and the ensemble effect of its forest of piers and and soaring ribs is impressive. The rather unfortunate row of supports running in front of the eastern section of the northern wall was installed in the 19C to hold up the monumental staircase in the chamber above.

Different day.
New frets installed with hot hide glue, under clamps and curing.
I've done some of my best fretwork to date using a full length aluminum sanding block to hold the the frets in while the glue dries.

This was the same run as the previous week where I was joined by my good running friend Ells Bells, the only difference being a little extension where we got lost.
I was using this run as training for my pending Maidenhead half marathon challenge which I'm running to raise funds for Hearts & Souls (local cardiac rehab charity) during these difficult COVID-19 lock-down period.

Same picture again, but this time blurred and darkened. Perhaps a bit more natural-looking in this setting. I'll try in better lighting some other time.

The classroom now has a set of 12 Orff instruments which consists of Marimbas, Metallophones and Xylophones. This means all students can play an instrument at the same time.
Corfe Castle is a fortification standing above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck peninsula in the English county of Dorset. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle dates to the 11th century and commands a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. The first phase was one of the earliest castles in England to be built at least partly using stone when the majority were built with earth and timber. Corfe Castle underwent major structural changes in the 12th and 13th centuries.
In 1572, Corfe Castle left the Crown's control when Elizabeth I sold it to Sir Christopher Hatton. Sir John Bankes bought the castle in 1635, and was the owner during the English Civil War. His wife, Lady Mary Bankes, led the defence of the castle when it was twice besieged by Parliamentarian forces. The first siege, in 1643, was unsuccessful, but by 1645 Corfe was one of the last remaining royalist strongholds in southern England and fell to a siege ending in an assault. In March that year Corfe Castle was slighted on Parliament's orders. Owned by the National Trust, the castle is open to the public and in 2018 received around 237,000 visitors. It is protected as a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Corfe Castle is a village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. It is the site of a ruined castle of the same name. The village and castle stand over a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. The village lies in the gap below the castle and is around four miles (6.4 km) south-east of Wareham, and four miles (6.4 km) north-northwest of Swanage. Both the main A351 road from Lytchett Minster to Swanage and the Swanage Railway thread their way through the gap and the village.
The civil parish of Corfe Castle stretches across the width of the Isle of Purbeck, with coasts facing both the English Channel and Poole Harbour. It, therefore, includes sections of both the low-lying sandy heathland that lies to the north of the castle and the rugged Jurassic Coast upland to the south.
