Lacock Abbey in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire, England, was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. The abbey remained a nunnery until the suppression of Roman Catholic institutions in England in the 16th century; it was then sold to Sir William Sharington who converted the convent into a residence where he and his family lived. It was fortified and remained loyal to the crown during the English Civil War, but surrendered to the Parliamentary forces once Devizes had fallen in 1645.
The house was built over the old cloisters and its main rooms are on the first floor. It is a stone house with stone slated roofs, twisted chimney stacks and mullioned windows. Throughout the life of the building, many architectural alterations, additions, and renovations have occurred so that the house is a mish-mash of different periods and styles. The Tudor stable courtyard to the north of the house has retained many of its original features including the brewhouse and bakehouse.
The house later passed into the hands of the Talbot family, and during the 19th century was the residence of William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 he made what may be the earliest surviving photographic camera negative, an image of one of the windows.
In 1944 artist Matilda Theresa Talbot gave the house and the surrounding village of Lacock to the National Trust. The abbey houses the Fox Talbot Museum, devoted to the pioneering work of William Talbot in the field of photography. The Trust markets the abbey and village together as "Lacock Abbey, Fox Talbot Museum & Village". The abbey is a Grade I listed building, having been so designated on 20 December 1960.
Some interior sequences in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were filmed at Lacock, including the cloister walk where Harry discovers the Mirror of Erised and when he comes out from Professor Lockhart's room after serving detention and hears the basilisk. Scenes from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald were also shot here.
The abbey was one of two major locations for the 2008 film version of the historical novel The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory, directed by Justin Chadwick. Parts of the 2010 American horror film The Wolfman, starring Anthony Hopkins and directed by Joe Johnston, were shot at the abbey. The interior of the abbey was used in the 1995 BBC/A&E production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and the BBC adaptation of Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders, and scenes for the BBC's historical TV serial Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel, were filmed here in 2014.

X While I was not unduly impressed by Stratford Upon Avon, the town did have some very historic buildings. These Almhouses on Church Street were particularly interesting. They were built in the early fifteenth century, which means that Mr Shakespeare must have walked past them on the way to Church or to the pub
Ten almshouses were built in 1417-18 by the Guild of the Holy Cross (amazingly, accounts survive of payments for the costs of the building including 26s 8d for timber & carpenter and 7 cartloads of stone at 3d a load). The almshouses were originally for old or needy members of the guild. The reformation led to the suppression of many almshouses but the Church St Almshouses managed to survive. In 1553 they were transferred to Stratford upon Avon Corporation and enlarged in order to provide homes for 24 elderly townsfolk.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
Basilica di S. Maria Assunta
The church was built, with the name of Santa Maria Madre di Dio, starting from 639 on the order of the Exarch of Ravenna Isacio to give a new seat to the episcopal chair of Altino. Just the previous year, in fact, Bishop Paolo had had to find refuge from the invasion of the Lombards in the very city of Turricellum, carrying with him the treasure and the relics of the diocese.
The new urban center soon became one of the richest and most prosperous of the ancient Duchy of Venice and the cathedral was enlarged for the first time in 826. In 1008 the church was rebuilt and reconsecrated to Santa Maria Assunta, at the wish of the newly installed bishop Orso I Orseolo, son of Doge Pietro II Orseolo.
The city fell into ruin during the fifteenth century, transforming the island of Torcello into a solitary and semi-abandoned place, the church of Santa Maria Assunta continued to hold the episcopal chair until 1818, when, with the suppression of the diocese of Torcello, became a simple parish, subject to the Patriarchate of Venice.

Standing close to Southampton Water, Netley Abbey is the most complete surviving Cistercian monastery in southern England. After the Suppression of the Monasteries the buildings were converted into a mansion for Sir William Paulet. The ruins now reflect over 800 years of change, during which the abbey was transformed from a monastic house to a mansion house, and later to a romantic ruin.
John Constable came to paint here, and writers such as Thomas Gray enthused about the abbey. It is reported that Jane Austen visited Netley, finding inspiration for her novel Northanger Abbey. The writer Horace Walpole explained in a letter to a friend in 1755:
'The ruins are vast, and retain fragments of beautiful fretted roofs pendent in the air, with all variety of Gothic patterns of windows wrapped round and round with ivy … they are not the ruins of Netley, but of Paradise. – Oh! the purple abbots, what a spot had they chosen to slumber in!'

The plaque says Junipero Serra was born in 1713 in Petra, Mallorca and died in 1784 in Carmel, California. I had previously noted his name everywhere in California.....streets, freeways, parks, hills, and on and on. He is depicted here with a Juaneño Indian boy. I can't find anything that says he was ever in Cuba. My first impression was, I admit, colored by the more recent scandals in the Catholic church.
If you want a little history, the Wipipedia article has a lot of information. Serra was apparently one of those larger than life humans.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jun%C3%ADpero_Serra
Quick notes from Wikipedia: He was a Roman Catholic Spanish priest and friar of the Franciscan Order who founded a mission in Baja California and the first nine of 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco, in what was then Alta California in the Province of Las Californias, New Spain. The declaration of Serra as a Catholic saint by the Holy See was controversial with some Native Americans who criticize Serra's treatment of their ancestors and associate him with the suppression of their culture
Though providing a nice fall display, sugar maples have overtaken the understory in many oak-hickory forests here, resulting in less plant and wildlife diversity. This has occurred because of fire suppression and now many conservation areas are being revitalized with controlled burns.

Yosemite, California
As part of wildfire suppression the park service will at times light managed fires that mostly burn piles of dead wood, but do not damage the existing mature trees. The intent is to reduce the opportunity for wildfires to run amok and destroy the forest.
The day before there were a few such managed fires lit in Yosemite Valley and a tolerable amount of smoke was produced. Overnight a thermal inversion trapped the smoke close to the ground, producing the fog-like scene shown here. An active, smoke generating fire can see on the middle right edge of the frame near a now almost dry Bridalveil falls.
Later that morning I visited a very smoky, hazy El Capitan meadow. I will be posting two photos from that visit.
(Pinguicula caerulea). Wakulla County, Florida.
During our trip to the Florida Panhandle we were fortunate enough to observe all six species of butterworts (Pinguicula) native to the region in bloom. The most striking of these flowers, in my opinion, are those of the P. caerulea. They were just beginning to bloom in one of the wet savannas we visited. Butterworts and other carnivorous plants have very specific habitat requirements, and are threatened by development, disturbance alterations (i.e. fire suppression), land use changes, and changes to local hydrologic regimes.

After an Insurgent attack last night, the local Imperial Garrison sent out several heavy handed patrols to remind the people that the Empire will not tolerate these cowardly acts.

Eighth out of 32 designs.
Whenever insurrection grows to strong in an urban region for the Suppression Troops to handle, the Empire resorts to its Massacre Squad. War-machine humanoid robots programmed to kill anything non-registered as Imperial citizen, military, or staff. All others, be it rebel or said rebel's family, are fair targets. They are given a limited amount of ammo, and a limited battery life, both in oder to dictate just how much damage and violence they are allowed to inflict. Either they'll run out of ammo first, or battery. Controlled automatic massacre. They are equipped with belt fed Gatling SMGs. However, in order to make the robots more flexible, the weapon is removable, a feature which has resulted in many rebels stealing and using the weapon themselves.

This past Friday Buffalo Bayou Park opened the old Houston Cistern for public tours and I was able to be on one of the first tours. Unfortunately, tripods are not permitted on the tours which made photography difficult in the low light situation. There are hatches in the ceiling which allow "beams" of light to come in but unfortunately these are not ready for use yet. They permanently keep a few inches of water in there for reflective purposes which with the light from the hatches will I believe make for some very interesting images. They told me they are working on photographic tours in which tripods will be permitted so I'm looking forward to going back then.
From the Buffalo Bayou website:
The Cistern at Buffalo Bayou Park is a former drinking water reservoir built in 1926 for the City of Houston. As one of the city’s early underground reservoirs, it supported the municipal water system’s goals of fire suppression (water pressure) and drinking water storage. After operating for decades, an irreparable leak was discovered and after a few years, the reservoir was decommissioned in 2007.
Thanks to support from The Brown Foundation, Inc., Buffalo Bayou Partnership is opening this industrial relic to the public, with future plans to present temporary art installations in this unique public space.

* 8-inch thick concrete roof and 8– 18-inch thick concrete side walls
* 17-second echo
* SWA Landscape Architect Kevin Shanley first called the reservoir “the Cistern” because it reminded him of the ancient Roman cisterns under Istanbul

Black-throated Sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata), Big Bend National Park, Texas. Black-throated Sparrows are common but their populations declined by 42% between 1970 and 2014. Population changes could be due to drought, Brown-headed Cowbird parasitism, habitat loss due to urbanization, or fire suppression.
Sitta pusilla clings to a charred stump in a northeast Texas pine-dominated upland. Historically these uplands would have experienced frequent lightning-ignited fires that maintained an open understory. In today's climate of fire suppression, many land managers employ cool season burns in an attempt to mimic historic conditions to the best of their ability.
Beto O'Rourke speaking to people in Denton about the importance of voter registration and voting. Republicans in the Texas Senate introduced a voter suppression law. Senate Bill 7 includes provisions to limit early voting hours, curtail local voting options and further tighten voting by mail. Democrats walked off the floor to kill the voter suppression bill.
Designed as a frontline unit with fully modular operational equipment packs. The base chassis comes standard with dual anti-armour missile tubes (right shoulder) and a six-tube smoke grenade discharger (left shoulder).
An integrated torso frame provides hard-point access for mission-specific modules — shown here fitted with a frontal guidance and targeting pod and a rear short-range jump pack.
Standard handheld armament is a 20 mm dual-barrel bullpup SMG with two spare 250-round drum magazines, though a variety of alternate load-outs are supported depending on operational requirements (sniper, anti-armour, fire suppression, etc.).

A Cistertian Abbey established at this site c1177. Byland was closed in 1538 as part of the Suppression of the Monasteries. The abbey was gutted of all valuable items. The plate was valued and shipped to London, while the buildings were stripped of lead, glass and timber. Byland and its estates were then granted to Sir William Pickering.The Byland estate later passed through various hands, although for many years it was owned by the Stapyltons of Myton Hall in Swalesdale. In 1819 Martin Stapylton excavated parts of the ruined church and the chapter house, searching for the grave of Roger de Mowbray.
Stapylton removed many tons of carved stone to Myton Hall where it was used to decorate the gardens. He also took the high altar slab to Myton Hall, together with a small alabaster image of the Trinity, both of which are now at nearby Ampleforth Abbey. Much stone was also taken for building local cottages. This process continued into the 1890s and probably later.
In 1893 Byland was sold to the Newburgh estate, which still owns the site. By this time, what was left of the crossing tower, church and monastic buildings had either been slighted when the abbey was suppressed, or had collapsed subsequently through neglect.
Byland was transferred to state guardianship in 1920 and is now managed by English Heritage.

This 15th-century gatehouse, beside a narrow lane to the south of Wetheral village, is almost all that remains of the Benedictine priory founded in the early 12th century.At the Suppression of the Monasteries, under Henry VIII, the last prior, Ralf Hartley, signed the deed of surrender in 1538. The church and monastic buildings fell into decay, but the gatehouse was preserved by being used as vicarage in the 16th and 17th centuries, before becoming a hayloft. It passed into state guardianship in 1978.

A face, lost and full of sorrow
self-portrait
I was doing fine. I was pulling through a season of healing and had just started going out again, the slow thaw of rekindling relationships with friends and acquaintances, of being present in simple joys like just saying hello to people, having an evening out, feeling the sun on my face. And then...
The Q word--that stupid, infernal Q word: Quarantine. I can be alone...for small intervals of time, but, ultimately, I am a social creature seeking connection or even just to charm you and make you laugh. I've watched more TV than I have in my entire life, movies, painted walls, grouted floors, read books, decided to try new things, brush up on skills, improve myself, blah, blah, blah. I have started to unravel--a frayed ribbon being pulled away from the spool with increasing momentum. An unmistakable untethering. I feel hollowed out all over again and lost in a place of neverwhere.

The Florida Scrub Jay species is federally listed as threatened, in large part due to of loss of habitat and decades of fire suppression that allowed scrub habitat to become overgrown. Prescribed burning helps maintain the bare ground and shrub height vital for scrub-jay survival. The current Florida scrub-jay population is estimated at about 7,700 to 9,300 birds.
Help the Florida Scrub-Jay
Provide habitat for scrub-jays by planting and protecting scrub patches on your property. Maintain a maximum height of 10 feet for vegetation if you live on or near a scrub-jay habitat.
Protect scrub-jays from family pets, especially cats. Encourage passage and strict enforcement of community leash laws for dogs and cats.
Restrict use of pesticides. They can limit or contaminate the insects consumed by jays.
Support establishment of scrub-jay preserves. Managed habitat is essential for protecting the species.
Do not hand-feed them; it is illegal and a danger to their well-being.
The Florida Scrub-jay is a species of Scrub-jay that is endemic to Florida. That means that it can only be found in Florida where it has existed for millions of years. Its habitat is limited to Florida's scrub land. This habitat is arid and relatively unattractive and is prone to frequent wildfires. As a result, a specific set of small plants populate the habitat. Our pension to extinguish wildfires and develop scrub land into something "more attractive" has led to a gradual but steady decline in these birds. This is due predominantly to habitat loss. In a few areas these birds are unbelievably tolerant of humans, landing not only near people but on them too. In this instance this Scrub-jay landed my friend before leaping up, up, and away, into the wild blue. Meeting these birds for the first time is a humbling experience. Knowing that even our most well intended activities, like wildfire suppression, can have deleterious effects on other species should serve as a lesson for the future. Nature's most invasive species needs to be more responsible. Every change we make has significant consequences. #FloridaScrubJay
This cluster of valves is called a fire pump (discharge) test header, an important feature of a building's fire sprinkler system, used for periodic flow testing of the system's water pump as required by applicable fire safety codes. As far as I can tell from research (mostly websites of companies selling fire safety systems and services), the test involves connecting hoses to these valves; each valve then opened at various points during testing to verify the pump meets standards for water flow and pressure (its capacity) under different flow levels.
I've driven past the side of the building many times over the years, but only recently noticed this interesting cluster of valves. Apparently, the number of valves these headers accommodate varies with the size of the building and its fire sprinkler pump capacity.
Paris, April 15, 2008: French high-school pupils are in the street again to protest against the suppression of 8.830 jobs in the National Education sector planned for next year. The movement is growing (between 20000 and 50000 demonstrators) and, this week, teachers joined the movement. There was no major incident, except some teenagers provocating and throwing some objects at police forces.
