The image segments on top are from the center of the full image, and the bottom segments are from the corner. The image segments on the left were shot with the 'Beercan' at a focal length of 210 mm and no CIZ, and the image segments on the right were shot at 105 mm and full CIZ.
I will construct the circle a bit at a time. 1st glue the veneer to each segment with a mahogany bridge to clamp 2 at a time.
The seg's are arranged alternate face about here, so as when laid face up, all the pieces will have a veneer to the RHS.
The Balfrin Höhenweg is a revered and epic walking route, connecting villages of Grächen and Saas Fee in Valais, Switzerland. It is seen in this photo snaking through the center of the image. Although quite comfortable, it takes a good head for heights. The stream close to the left edge freezes late in the season, as was the case this time.
The route was opened in 1954 after engineering works connected existing trails used by hunters and shepherds. It was quite a foresight in an age where mountain tourism was synonymous with building more lifts and more roads. Since then, the scars inflicted have healed and the trail now blends graciously with the landscape as it climbs and descends on a constant switchback.
"The Swan Bells Tower" houses a set of eighteen bells hanging in a specially built 82.5 metres (271 ft) high copper and glass campanile in Perth, Western Australia. Taking their name from the Swan River, which the tower overlooks, and forming a sixteen-bell peal with two extra chromatic notes, are one of the largest sets of change ringing bells in the world.
Twelve of the set are historic bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square in London; six others, cast in recent times by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The St Martin-in-the-Fields bells were donated to the State of Western Australia as part of the 1988 Australian bicentenary celebrations; the additional bells were cast with a subsequent donation of metals mined in Western Australia. The six newer bells include five which were presented to the University of Western Australia, the City of Perth and to the people of Western Australia from the City of London, the City of Westminster and a consortium of British and Australian mining companies, and one bell commissioned by the Western Australian Government (Wikipedia).

The fourth-generation Ypsilon is the first new model to be produced by Lancia since 2011 and the first electric model from Lancia. It is based on the Stellantis CMP / eCMP platform, sharing multiple parts with the Peugeot 208 II and the Opel Corsa F.
The Ypsilon is the first Lancia production vehicle to adopt their Pu+Ra Design language ('Pu+Ra' is a combination of ‘pure’ and ‘radical’) and the brand's new logo, which were both previewed from the Pu+Ra HPE concept car in 2023. The Ypsilon features an illuminated version of the historic front grille with three light rays, round headlights and taillights that both feature a letter Y motif, a Lancia badge on the C-Pillar and the Ypsilon badge on the rear hatch, having handwritten characters inspired by historic Lancia models.
The fourth-generation Ypsilon will mark the expansion of the Lancia brand in Europe. The brand will be reintroduced in Belgium, Netherlands, France and Spain in 2024, followed by Germany in 2025. These countries are chosen in consideration of the popularity of Italian products, and the popularity of B-segment vehicles.
This is a representation of the earliest soldiers of the regiment in Swedish and French service fighting in the Thirty Years' War - for a variety of reasons. Due to the Scottish/British Crown at times being allied with its Swedish and French counterparts Scottish and/or British patriotism may have played a role.
The Scottish princess Elizabeth not long before the war became the Queen of Bohemia, but the Hapsburgs, among other things, found this state of affairs too offensive to stand and declared war on Bohemia. Due to their own King's wise move of officially keeping his country out of the war, many Scots and other subjects of the King of England, Scotland and Ireland flocked to fight in their own semi-organised bands for Bohemia, as this was the only way their monarch allowed them to help Elizabeth.
Even though Bohemia was lost very early on in the war it was always the hope of many subjects of the Stuart Royal family that through fighting for anti-Hapsburg countries such as Sweden and France, as well as the Netherlands, Bohemia could one day be regained for a member of the Stuart family.
The hope was not met in the peace accords of 1648, thirty years after the battle of White Mountain ended Elizabeth's stint as Queen of Bohemia. However, the regiment carried on and was involved in many other events over the next 358 years of its existence as an independent unit.
