William Randolph Hearst’s Study at Hearst Castle in San Simeon California. With over 3,000 books and priceless treasures from around the world, this room served as a private library and office from which Hearst controlled his media empire and as an executive boardroom for discussing world events with his cohorts.
It was tough getting a sharp 1/25 second shot holding the camera as they do not allow tripods and I had to lean over a rope.

Memory of my PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam preparation :)
A quick study of the rocky shoreline of the Winnipeg River, viewed from the water. Knife painting on stretched canvas (oil, 11 x 14 in).
'The setting sun glowed through the large clock face window, casting rays of amber light around the lofty study.
The room was filled with many curious items, bizarre taxidermy creatures hung on display, some of avian or mammal form, and some of cephalopod variety.
Along side these creatures, various shields of shapes and sizes were scattered along the walls, depicting ornate styles and tribal designs. Muskets, swords and other trinkets were placed alongside large and small picture frames.
To the right a varnished grandfather clock ticked away, surrounded by a bust of an Egyptian pharaoh and a bizarre mechanical helmet. To the far right stood a weathered uniform with ornate markings.
'My old uniform' Arthur commented, placing a hand on one of the sleeves.
'It's seen better days' he remarked.
Evelyn looked over to the left, beyond the large spiral staircase stood an ornate green desk piled with trinkets, papers, letters and glasses. Slumped nearby was another stack of papers.
'You certainly have a lot of paperwork' she said.
'Research papers, documents and other 'confidential' items' he said, shrugging his shoulders.
Evelyn walked over to the desk, a large leather armchair sat nearby, next to it was a small table with a leather bound sketchbook.
She picked it up, brushing the thin layer of dust that had accumulated on it's surface.
She flicked through, studying the dozens of sketches and notes, many depicted monsters and creatures, along with observational notes, anatomy cross sections and up close details.
'So many different creatures' she gasped 'You drew all of these?'
'I find it useful for my research' Arthur said modestly 'It's good to make a note of what you're encountering'.
'How long have you been doing this for?' Evelyn queried.
Arthur scratched his head, slightly avoiding eye contact for a few seconds.
'Feels like a lifetime' he laughed.
Just a trial shot from the open window of my study. The prominent tree is nearly 200 yards away. The break in the hedge is the site of a badger sett!
I had to try to get my rescued 35mm slide projector lens to focus at infinity. This photo is my first attempt with the lens hand held against the camera body whilst I tried to balance against the window. To say I was pleased is a bit of an understatement.
However I've spent a couple of hours this afternoon trying to get a permanent fixing to the camera and then the focus just right. The lens has no focusing along its barrel. I'm not quite there yet so tomorrow .....

you can only control your reaction to them,
said a very wise meme.
you'd think spending all day managing risk I'd know that already.
bias is easy to turn, it's not hard to flip flop and flop back to flip.
the problem is recognizing the bias before it's too late.
and when it is too late to turn,
having the balls to go all in and turn anyway.
not financial advice.
