The Torah ark, where the synagogue's Torah scrolls are stored.
The Foundation Stone of the New West End Synagogue was laid on June 7th. 1877 by Mr. Leopold de Rothschild in the presence of the Chief Rabbi, Dr. Nathan Marcus Adler, and the building was formally opened on March 30th. 1879. The total cost of construction, including the site, amounted to £24,980 which was raised by private contributions and with the help of the United Synagogue, of which the New West End is a constituent Synagogue...As time went on, various alterations and improvements were introduced. During the 1890s the walls were faced with alabaster slabs relieved by the finest Cipallino marble from Saillin in the Rhone Valley. The marble and alabaster pulpit and the marble railing in front of the Ark were also installed, while the octagonal iron columns were covered in marble so skilfully that it is virtually impossible to distinguish them from solid marble. About the same time electric lighting was installed, replacing the original gas lamps, examples of which can still be seen inside the Synagogue above each of the doors.
A notable feature of the internal decoration is to be found in the texts that adorn the walls. This idea was not new, being found in mediaeval Synagogues. There were originally nineteen texts; at a later date those on the side walls of the Gallery were added. The texts concentrate on the ideas of Divine knowledge and worship, as well as practice, duty and love. Most of the quotations are from the Psalms, and were selected by the late Rev. Simeon Singer, Minister of the Synagogue from its consecration until his death in 1906.
The beauty of the Synagogue is enhanced by the magnificent stained glass windows, which were designed and made by N H J Westlake, one of the foremost authorities in England on stained glass windows and mosaics. The rose window above the Ark, executed by Erwin Bossanyi in 1937 in memory of Emma, Lady Rothschild, illustrates numerous aspects of Jewish ritual and tradition, while the centres of the side windows are all different, the framework remaining constant.

Mit Ades Zabel, Biggy van Blond, Bob Schneider & Roman Shamov
Futschiqueen und »HARTZ VIII-Ikone« Edith Schröder sind ratlos, denn ihr Haus im Gentrifizierungsbrennpunkt Neukölln wurde verkauft und ihre Miete derart erhöht, dass ihnen die Obdachlosigkeit droht. Sie borgen sich Geld... Doch wer sich bei den falschen Leuten Geld besorgt, ist bald in noch größeren Schwierigkeiten.
Ediths Kumpel und Hinterhof-Charmeur Harry Weinfurz schlägt ihr und ihren beiden besten Freundinnen einen großen Coup vor, um das Geld zurückzahlen zu können. Dieses Vorhaben kann nur schiefgehen. Doch in Zeiten von Social Media und Fake News wird aus der Kriminellen unerwartet eine Volksheldin, und so lautet für Edith bald die Frage: Knast oder Kanzlerschaft?

Ades Zabel & Company - TATORT Neukölln - A Neuköllnical, Berlin 2021
With Ades Zabel, Biggy van Blond, Bob Schneider & Roman Shamov
Futschiqueen and "HARTZ VIII icon" Edith Schröder are at a loss, because their house in the gentrification hotspot Neukölln has been sold and their rent increased to such an extent that they are threatened with homelessness. They borrow money... But if you borrow money from the wrong people, you'll soon be in even bigger trouble.
Edith's buddy and backyard charmer Harry Weinfurz proposes a big coup to her and her two best friends in order to pay back the money. This plan can only go wrong. But in the age of social media and fake news, the criminal unexpectedly becomes a popular heroine, and so the question for Edith soon becomes: jail or chancellorship?
Tatort Neukölln - a turbulent Neuköllnical about capitalist, criminal and verbal border crossings and the mechanisms of populism.

This is a terrible photo of a photo. The real print is much better quality and not yellow. Someday I'll scan it.
Stained glass window features two little Chickadees and a birdhouse surrounded by clusters and clusters of Lilac. It is framed in scrolled copper and measures 14” x 14”.
My dad is seventy-six, and in very good health, used to make gifts, using his scroll saw. Now, his hands are shaky and he's decided to stop, probably for his own safety.
We have quite a collection of his art. We've decided to cover one wall in our home with his work. And, of course, his portrait.

Wikipedia tells me that the bit on the front with the darker wood and the black pegs is a low-C extension.

Festival of Lights - Berlin shines, 2014
The capital was lit up for the Berlin Festival of Lights: over 10 days from nightfall, more than 70 objects were illuminated by well-known artists and light designers, including striking building facades, bridges and Berlin landmarks.
In 2014, the motto of the light art festival was: World Stage Berlin.
The aim was to illuminate the metropolis of Berlin as an urban stage for life. Two dominant east-west axes were used to document and accentuate the key urban development processes of the last 100 years.
To mark the twentieth anniversary of the Berlin-Beijing city partnership, a special focus was placed on Chinese light art in 2014.

Gaylight Cruise - Berlin lights up
Adventure tour in all the colours of the rainbow - 03 October 2014
Departure & arrival: Hauptbahnhof, Willy-Brandt-Straße / Moltkebrücke
From the water, the illuminated riverside promenades and building complexes shone in an extraordinary light. With more than 70 projection, sound and video effects, a total work of art of light and colour appeared before our eyes and conveyed exciting visual axes, perspectives and impressions.
Reception, presentation, entertainment:
After check-in and boarding, Mistress de Luxe (Nelly Morell) from the Berlin club 'Rauschgold' welcomed us and guided us through the evening.
The Riedel shipping company provided a ship with approx. 150 seats, which were specially offered to some of the passengers of 'CSD on the Spree'.
This is the cave where Bedouin shepherds found the Dead Sea Scrolls, while searching for a missing goat. The otherwise excellent interpretative video at the nearby visitor centre sadly neglected to tell you the fate of that goat.

Mira Calligraphae Monumental, fol. 85
A model book of calligraphy, originally enscribed by the court scribe Georg Bocskay for Emporer Ferdinand I Hapsburg. Some 15 years after the passing of Bocskay, this book was illuminated by the Flemish miniaturist and royal artist Joris Hoefnagel, at the behest of Rudolph II, grandson to Ferdinand I. There are few black pages in this book, but it is still one of my favorites just the same, for some astounding calligraphy feats.
Materials:
This piece was crafted from heavier than cardstock weight black matte board, Dr. Ph Martin pen white, a Mitchell size 6 and size 3 nib, Sumi ceramic dish silver and yellow gold ink, and Winsor and Newton and Holbein gouaches.
Original size: 11" x 14"

I like these a lot more than my other attempt with this yarn. The smaller stitch count and lace pattern do a great job of obscuring the color-striping.
