Une nouvelle installation de l’artiste britannique Linder Sterling dans le jardin de Chatsworth House s’inspire de l’un des épisodes les plus intrigants de l’histoire du domaine, vieille de 500 ans: l’emprisonnement de Mary, reine d’Écosse.
La «Bower of Bliss» de Sterling est une réponse du Queen Mary's Bower, une structure surélevée située dans un jardin de 100 hectares, qui aurait été construite dans les années 1570 pour permettre à Mary d'exercer son activité alors qu'elle était retenue en captivité pour son implication présumée dans des crimes d'assassinat. sa cousine Elizabeth I.
Mary fut forcée d’abdiquer en 1567 après avoir été impliquée dans le meurtre de son mari. Elle fut ensuite emprisonnée en Angleterre par Elizabeth I à partir de 1568 et exécutée en 1587.
L’installation de Sterling est l’un des points forts de la nouvelle exposition de sculptures intitulée «Chatsworth Outdoors: motifs de sculptures», qui s’ouvre dans le jardin du domaine de Derbyshire le 14 septembre. 2018.
Parmi les 35 œuvres présentées, on trouve une figurine masculine en fonte dressée par Antony Gormley intitulée «Learning to be I» et «Into the Wind», une sculpture en bronze de la tête d’un cheval réalisée par Nic Fiddian-Green.

A new installation by British artist Linder Sterling in the garden of Chatsworth House draws on one of the most intriguing episodes in the estate’s 500-year-old history: the imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Sterling’s “Bower of Bliss” is a response the Queen Mary’s Bower, a raised structure in the 105-acre garden which some believe was built in the 1570s as a space for Mary to exercise while she was held captive for her alleged involvement in plots assassinate her cousin Elizabeth I.
Mary was forced to abdicate in 1567 after she was implicated in her husband’s murder and was then imprisoned in England by Elizabeth I from 1568 and executed in 1587.
Sterling’s installation is one of the highlights of a new sculpture exhibition called “Chatsworth Outdoors: Grounds for Sculpture”, which opens in the garden of the Derbyshire estate on Sept. 14. 2018.
Among the 35 works on show is a standing male cast iron figure by Antony Gormley called “Learning to be I”, and “Into the Wind”, a bronze sculpture of a horse’s head by Nic Fiddian-Green.

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!
Took this from the street below because the clouds were so moody looking. The final results were not as dramatic as I had hoped but I still like the view.
Sterling Trucks Corporation was an American truck manufacturer founded in 1998, Sterling was created following the purchase by Freightliner of Ford's heavy truck line.
The line was discontinued in 2009 and the manufacturing plants in St. Thomas, Ontario and Portland, Oregon were closed, affecting 2300 people..
Last week my Flickr friend simple.joy posted an extreme close-up of the edge of a Euro coin in preparation for Macro Monday’s My Closest theme today.
For some inexplicable reason, the image stirred up my competitive instincts. That came as a considerable surprise - I had assumed they were long dead, or at least in a terminal coma.
A master plan formed to outdo this upstart pretender of continental coinage with the dignity of the ancient currency of our noble realm (I would say empire, but even I have to admit I’m a little late for that). Reverse my 105mm macro onto stacked extension tubes perched on the end of bellows and use the mirrorless full-frame sensor as the target; mount the whole lot on a focus rail and stack 20 or 30 of the resulting images. Pretty straightforward then, and should trounce the cheeky contender as easy as…
A brief review, however, of the plan highlighted three significant technical difficulties:
1) I didn’t have a reversing ring.
2) I didn’t have any bellows.
3) I couldn’t be bothered...
Undaunted, I sallied forth with a different approach…
This was taken on my phone by holding a hand magnifying lens in front of the camera port (once I’d worked out which one that was!). Lighting was a mix of an LED torch and a desk lamp. It’s four images stacked in Affinity. Handheld.
That last word was the difficulty. Ideally to work this rig I needed four hands and a prehensile tail. I only had two. (Hands! {sigh - you just can’t get the readers these days}).
And it did need a bit of processing. The raw (dng) images from the phone were first cleaned up in Topaz DeNoise AI, then stacked as raws in Affinity and output as a tif. This was sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI, then the result was expanded by a factor of two in Topaz Gigapixel AI to give us more pixels to play with. This was then cropped and tarted up back in Affinity. It's still almost 4,000 pixels wide even at this crop, so doing well.
I’m quite impressed really by what proved achievable. Phone cameras are remarkable and they are close-focusing for macro work. The newer pound coins no longer have engraved words around the edge, so I just took the top-down view. Well, really it was the only view I could take! There is some blurred millimetre grid graph paper underneath (you’d need to pay me a lot more to get it in focus).
The pounds have faceted edges like an old threepenny (that is, worth three old pennies) bit. Which was probably worth more than the pound coin is now :) But the image is interesting because it reveals that each facet has a tiny number stamped on it which I had never seen before (2017 here which may be the minting date I guess).
But if you want to see a proper job do have a look at: flic.kr/p/2mX2iAZ
So that pesky continental shrapnel wins the skirmish by a clear margin. But I am undismayed - the battle remains. I have a new plan which involves the same setup but drinking a glass of sherry beforehand. This should act as a kind of VR and IBIS combined and give a much sharper image to work with. Watch this space…
Thank you for taking the time to look (and read if you have got this far). Hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)
Thank you so much to the wonderful ♥Michelle♥, ecike, and Sarah Burnquist who were so sweet to write me testimonials. Thank you all so much!
On the road to Anchorage. We don't have much snow, it's been too cold for that. I love the frost on the trees!

On Thursday there was a chance of severe thunderstorms in NE Colorado so I took advantage of a close storm chase this early in the year. My target was Holyoke, CO but as I left Sterling the fog quickly became very thick and I was driving directly into a severe warned cell, I checked current conditions further east and everything was fog, fog and more fog. I was becoming a bit frustrated and headed back West to see what looked like a timid cell on the radar, as I got through Sterling I saw the storm which didn't look like much at the time, so I stopped and waited to see what may develop. Within a matter of minutes the storm turned into this monster cloud that was rotating horizontally and moving extremely fast; I was trying to keep in front of it going 70mph and was not making any ground on it, talk about exhilarating! This is a 180 degree pano to give you some sort of scale, it took up the entire western sky from north to south.
