Erddig Hall, Marchwiel, Wrexham, North Wales LL13 0YT.
Erddig Hall Coordinates.... 53°1′38″N 3°0′23″W
Erddig Hall is a country house and estate in the community of Marchwiel, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Wrexham, Wales. It is centred on a country house which dates principally from between 1684 and 1687, when the central block was built by Joshua Edisbury, and the 1720s, when the flanking wings were added by its second owner, John Meller. Erddig was inherited by Simon Yorke in 1733, and remained in the Yorke family until it was given to the National Trust by Philip Scott Yorke in 1973.
The gardens were laid out between 1718 and 1733, and the surrounding park was landscaped between 1767 and 1789. The estate is approximately 1,900 acres (770 ha) in size, and includes part of Wat's Dyke and the remains of a motte-and-bailed castle of the Norman period. A pair of gates, originally located at Stansty Park and attributed to Robert Davies, stand at the end of the garden canal.
The Yorke family had an unusual relationship with their servants, and commemorated them in a large and unique collection of portraits and poems. This collection, and the good state of preservation of the servants' quarters and estate workshops, provide an insight into how servants lived between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. The house is also significant for its collection of seventeenth-century furniture; this includes the state bed, a rare surviving example of a lit à la duchesse canopy bed which retains its original hangings and bed cover of silk satin embroidered with Chinese designs. The house was designated a grade I listed building in 1952.

Taken at Lake Erie beach. I love the detail in this photo and the ability to take away a lot of meaning from it. I see the feather as our life and the sand as the path we follow with nature to guide us at either side.
Best photo of 2016 <3. Feel free to fave, follow, and comment. Have a great year!

12th Century Irish Romanesque church in West Kerry. Charming place with Ogham stones, a sundail, ancient crosses and a still functioning graveyard.
One can (and indeed one did) spend a long time trying to understand the complexities of the impressive sundial on the Governor's Palace in Parma. As well as telling you the time, it has an Equation of time to correlate the apparent solar time, which directly tracks the diurnal motion of the Sun, and mean solar time. Easy right? I am still trying to figure it out, honestly.
It is time for me to take a flickr break------- Everything is fine, but I am going to be super busy for a few days--so this will be my last post for awhile---I will be checking in with you guys--as often as I have time to do so----enjoy your day--and thanks for visiting!

Native to eastern Asia, hosta came to the United States in the 1800s. Hostas are prized in the shade garden for their large leaves in different shapes and colors of green, deep blue or creamy variegated. Plants are categorized by common characteristics (species) and cultivated varieties (cultivars). According to the American Hosta Society, there are hundreds of hosta species and thousands of cultivars.

The cardan Solaire (sundail) which has been installed here in the year 1981. The letters I LOVE NICE is more popular by the tourists.
Nice
Nice is the fifth most populous city in France and the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes département. The urban area of Nice extends beyond the administrative city limits, with a population of about 1 million on an area of 721 km2. Located in the French Riviera, on the south east coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the Alps, Nice is the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast and the second-largest city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region after Marseille. Nice is about 13 kilometres (8 miles) from the principality of Monaco, and its airport is a gateway to the principality as well.
The city is nicknamed Nice la Belle.
The natural beauty of the Nice area and its mild Mediterranean climate came to the attention of the English upper classes in the second half of the 18th century, when an increasing number of aristocratic families took to spending their winters there. The city's main seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais ("Walkway of the English') owes its name to visitors to the resort.
For decades now, the picturesque Nicean surroundings have attracted not only those in search of relaxation, but also those seeking inspiration. The clear air and soft light have particularly appealed to some of Western culture's most outstanding painters, such as Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Niki de Saint Phalle and Arman. Their work is commemorated in many of the city's museums, including Musée Marc Chagall, Musée Matisse and Musée des Beaux-Arts. Nice has the second largest hotel capacity in the country and it is one of its most visited cities, receiving 4 million tourists every year.
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is the third most important airport in France after Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport, both in Paris.
The main railway station is Nice-Ville, served both by high speed TGV trains connecting Paris and Nice in less than 6 hours and by local commuter TER services. Marseille is reached in 2.5 hours. Nice also has international connections to Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and Russia.
In 2007, the new Tramway de Nice linked the northern and eastern suburbs via the city centre. Two other lines are currently in the planning and construction stage. The second line will run east-west from Place Masséna to the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, extending to Cagnes-sur-Mer and Le Port, while the third line will provide a connection to the future TGV Nice Saint-Augustin Lingostière rail station.
The A8 autoroute and the Route nationale 7 pass through the Nice agglomeration, linking Marseille with Italy.
Population: 344.000 (approx 2014)
Area: 71.92 km2
Density: 4,800/km2
Elevation: 0 - 520 m
