Camelot Theme Park was a resort and theme park located in the English county of Lancashire (the last operating season was in 2012, the park did not open for 2013). The park´s theme was based on the famous legend of Camelot. It was located on a 140-acre (0.57 km2; 0.22 sq mi) site[2] near the village of Charnock Richard, 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Chorley.
Here are the India-themed cupcakes that won me a Gold award at the Sugarcraft North 2011 exhibition in Harrogate, as well as the trophy for "Best on the Day in this Class" (the class was Novice: Afternoon Tea Fancies - 8 cupcakes), as well as trophy for Best Novice in show, for the highest score in show across all novice classes.
So shocked at being placed at all (let alone winning) that I almost fell off my perch! (particularly as I'd had a bit of a trauma with them the night before and had a complete change of plan with one of the designs).
I was particularly chuffed as the judging criteria was both on appearance and taste. The British Sugarcraft Guild judges liked the fact that I'd gone for something a bit different, both in terms of bold design and in terms of flavour - it was a bit of a gamble to stray away from the traditional-type flavours, but it was what I really wanted to do and it paid off!
For a better photo of the cupcakes before they were cut into for tasting see here.
I feel very honoured to be invited to join the Spanish Urban Sketchers flickr group - supposedly I am 'almost Spanish' (not quite sure what that means!)
Anyway... I am having fun following the sketches produced for their weekly themes... and getting very good use of the 'translate into my own language' feature in my google reader.
This weeks theme is 'from the heights' - I was hoping to do a more urban theme but it has been a crazy week... so more shoes and bags and books!
I must acknowledge the inspiration of

As for junk on the floor I have been thinking about that option during the week as I have seen it growing!
BTW the full collection of from the heights sketches are here (impressive set!)
Here are the two items I used for the Macro Monday theme. The one on the left is a diamond willow walking stick. The "wooden eye" like image, was a macro of what is called the "diamond" in the willow.
The second image was a macro of the grid on my "electronic mosquito racket". I have multiple electronic rackets as they are a much needed tool during the buggy time of year in Alaska, and they work great.
So puzzle solved everyone. Now on to next weeks theme. I can't wait. :))

Provenance:
Notes:The Art Treasures exhibition in Manchester mounted during the summer of 1857 was the first large public exhibition of works of art from private collections in England, and included many works lent by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.Originally published in 5 volumes, each volume containing 50 salt prints and albumen prints from collodion negatives, 22 x 29 cm and smaller, with printed captions on the mounts. Late in 1858 the work was condensed in a 2 volume set of 100 photographs each, divided into Ancient Art and Modern Art, and each having a printed title page and printed dedication 'To His Royal Highness Prince Albert. This is Volume One which contains 100 photographs mostly of paintings, by Old Masters such as Raphael, Guido Reni, Holbein and Van Dyck, some miniatures and prints, as well as a photograph of the Cellini Shield. Volume Two, the Modern Series, shows paintings by contemporary masters from the mid-19th century.
Leonida Caldesi (1823-1891) was born in Florence, Italy and arrived in England as a political refugee around 1850. He came to be acknowledged by contemporaries as one of the foremost photographers of fine art and society portraiture from the 1850's to the 1870's. He had a number of short-term professional partners including Mattia Montecchi (1858-59), Ernest Blandford (1861-62) and Lombardi, though throughout his career he maintained a business relationship with the print publisher and art dealers Paul and Dominic Colnaghi.

This theme park has it roots in Chessington Zoo, which opened in 1931; it was started by Reginald Goddard, who had bought the estate to showcase his private collection of animals. In 1946 when Mr Goddard died, the Pearson Publishing Company took over the zoo and managed it until 1978, when the Tussaud Group took control of the park (Tussauds was a subsidiary of the Pearson Group). In 1984, due to the zoo's declining attendance, Tussauds´s Director of Development, Ray Barratt commissioned John Wardley to come up with plans to revitalise the park, and the decision was made to open an amusement park to complement the zoo, and so Chessington World of Adventures was born. The park opened with a new monorail, a powered coaster, log flume and a dark ride (all supplied by the German ride manufacturer Heinrich Mack GmbH & Co). The new rides were to operate on a pay-one-price admission basis, and replace the existing pay-as-you-go fairground rides. The monorail, named the Safari Skyway, opened early in 1986 to give the visitors a foretaste of the new attraction. "Chessington World of Adventures" opened as a theme park in 1987. The attractions were all heavily themed with emphasis on atmosphere and effects, meaning Chessington was one of the first true theme parks in Britain.
On 22 May 2007, The Tussauds Group was taken over by Merlin Entertainments Ltd, which owns other brands, including the Sealife Centre, and The Dungeons. This meant that Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Madame Tussauds were also taken over as well. As a result of this purchase Merlin became the second largest entertainments operator in the world, ahead of Parques Reunidos and second only to Disney.
The park has a large selection of attractions. It also has over 1,000 animals, many of which can be seen from the Safari Skyway, an elevated monorail around the Zoo. Chessington has been in the same ownership as nearby Thorpe Park since 1998, and since 2007, Legoland Windsor.[1] Since Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park are located within 20 miles of each other, its owner Merlin has made efforts to market the two parks to different age groups: Chessington World of Adventures is meant to appeal to children while Thorpe Park strives to thrill older thrillseekers.

This superb and breathtaking exhibition “Iris van Herpen. Sculpting the Senses,” currently on view at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, pays tribute to one of the most visionary fashion designers of her generation – and the simple term “fashion” almost seems out of place here as conventional standards of clothing are largely transgressed.
This retrospective is structured around nine themes and identifies the very essence of van Herpen’s work fusing fashion, contemporary art, design and science (and I could add: architecture).
Much more than an exhibition dedicated to Haute Couture, “Iris van Herpen. Sculpting the Senses", invites the visitor on an immersive journey into this singular and hybrid universe, punctuated by the designer's research and experiments.
One simple piece of advice: run for it!!!
COSMIC BLOOM
In her exploration of the cosmos, Iris van Herpen shows her talent for synthesis, combining the latest scientific discoveries with the history of art and science, blending the ancient maps of Andreas Cellarius with images from the James Webb telescope. The cosmos and its mysteries pique her imagination and her creativity. Like a metaphor of her holistic approach, the cosmos incarnates a space in which one can deploy oneself without limit, a symbol of absolute liberty. Colours float and come alive, offering new horizons for a body in levitation. For the designer, to understand the cosmos is to overturn the order of time and space and achieve elevation. The world becomes an all-encompassing entity, greater than the confines of planet Earth. It no longer develops from bottom up or top down, but in all of its dimensions simultaneously, as a multiverse, with no borders except those of the mind and the imagination, the soul and its cosmic journey.

--------------------------------------
La superbe et époustouflante exposition « Iris van Herpen. Sculpting the Senses », qui se tient actuellement au Musée des Arts Décoratifs à Paris rend hommage à l’une des créatrices de mode les plus visionnaires de sa génération – et le simple terme « mode » semble presque déplacé tant les normes conventionnelles du vêtement sont ici transgressées.
Cette rétrospective s’articule autour de neuf thématiques et recense l’essence même de son travail fusionnant mode, art contemporain, design et sciences (et je pourrais ajouter : architecture).
Bien plus qu’une exposition dédiée à la Haute Couture, l’exposition « Iris van Herpen. Sculpting the Senses », constitue un voyage immersif dans cet univers singulier et hybride, ponctué par les recherches et les expérimentations de la créatrice.
Un seul conseil : courez-y !!!
VOYAGE COSMIQUE
Iris van Herpen montre, à travers l’exploration du cosmos, combien elle manie l’art de la synthèse, s’inspirant tout autant des dernières découvertes que de l’histoire des arts et des sciences, des cartes anciennes d’Andreas Cellarius que des images du télescope James Webb. Le cosmos et ses mystères entretiennent son imaginaire et avivent sa créativité. Métaphore de son approche holistique, ils incarnent un espace de déploiement sans limites, symbole d’une liberté absolue. Les couleurs flottent, s’animent et offrent de nouveaux horizons pour les corps en lévitation. Appréhender le cosmos, c’est pour elle bouleverser l’ordre des choses et prendre de la hauteur. Le monde devient un tout au-delà de la seule planète Terre. Il ne se développe plus de bas en haut ou de haut en bas mais dans toutes ses dimensions, comme un multivers, sans plus de frontières si ce ne sont celles de l’esprit et de son imaginaire, de l’âme et de ses voyages cosmiques.

Siam Park is considered as the biggest theme park, as well as biggest water park in Southeast Asia, as well as the oldest water park in Thailand. Since 2007, the park owner has completed the construction of six new attractions: Vortex - the first hanging invented coaster in Thailand, Boomerang - the reverse roller coaster, Giant Drop - 75 metre free fall, Aladdin - the magic carpet ride, Siam Park Tower - 100-metre automatic observation tower, and Condor - the twister.
Siam Park City is an amusement park and water park located on Seri Thai Road and Khan Na Yao District on 300 acre. It was established in 1980. It has the biggest artificial sea in the world. Moreover, it has a spa, many sizes of swimming pool and a 7 storey water slide. This place is call to the Sea of Bangkok and its slogan is Siam Park… World of happiness enjoy unforgettable Siam park was opened 38 years ago in November 1975 by the founder Chaiwat Luangamornlert. His aim was and still is, to bring fun to Thailand and put a smile on children's faces. The park now has 2 million visitors a year from all over the world and has some of the largest rides in the region.
The park is set in 120 acres and is considered to be the largest theme and water park in Southeast Asia. The idea for the water park was to create an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city, as although Thailand has lots of beaches there are none in Bangkok. The wave pool is now the largest in the world as certified by Guinness World Records and stretches an impressive 13,600 sq m and is the only man made beach in the city. The theme park originally started off with only a few rides, but over the years the owner has expanded and it now has over 30 different rides.
The park has recently been under complete renovation and since 2007 the park owner has completed the construction of new attractions: Vortex, which is 1 of the 2 worlds largest suspended looping roller coaster, Boomerang, Giant Drop, Aladdin, Si-AmTower, Condor, Top-spin, Mega Dance and the Log Flume. There are also four new rides due to be completed within the next year, which include Pony Express a new family roller coaster.
Siam Park is separated into three main zones, the water park ( Siam Lagoon ), the amusement park ( Siam X-treme ) and a learning park ( Siam Genius ). It also has the Pathfinder camp located inside the park. Siam Park was not the first amusement park in Thailand, the first one is Happy land at Bang-kapi then Magic Land near Central Lat Phrao, but it was closed due to the end of their land-rental contract, making Siam Park the oldest existing park in the country.
I visited Siam Park known locally as Suan Siam, on June 6th 2010. I was surprised at what I found. Many of the rides where on par with theme parks around the world. But again like Dream World. I found everything looking tired. However that said the park was a great day out. The water park in particular was pleasant and the surroundings very well laid out. But some of the food stalls need to address their hygiene. Fly’s landing on exposed food does nothing for the appetite! Not all the stalls had this problem.
Siam Water Park is the most popular zone in the park in my view, offering the perfect place to cool down and escape the busy city streets. With plenty of shaded seating, families often spend the entire day here, jumping in and out of the river that flows through the park, which also boasts the largest wave pool in the world, with small waves and shallow areas suitable for all ages, and a gentle slope to paddle in. For older people the Super Spiral is great fun, with slides weaving in and out, and great fun for anyone over the age of eight! For smaller kids there are mini slides, and for daredevils – the speed slide!
One item to consider, the park opens at 10.00 am but that is for people wanting to go directly to the Water Park, the rest of the park and rides do not open until 11.00 am. When I was visiting I found quite a few of the rides closed altogether, I guess for refurbishment.

The theme of this year's pride march was 'Say Something', with 15 of the 130 floats addressing the issue of same-sex civil unionship. New South Wales Labor Minister Verity Firth said: "We must never forget that the first Mardi Gras in 1978 was about the struggle for equality and this aspect remains absolutely a part of the parade today."
Organisers set up speech bubbles along the parade route and called on spectators to speak out against inequality.
The parade was led by eight people who organisers say have made an impact in the lives of people identifying as GLBTQ. They included openly gay actress Lily Tomlin, gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and two Melbourne teens who protested against the ban on gay couples at a school formal.

Artic themed train to tie in with the CITY Artic range. This train is five flat(ish) wagons in the Artic colours. They carry a special Artic misson that is made up of two small habitation units for the explorers each equipped with sleeping, bathroom, cooking and entertainment / communication station as well as a hot plate for food prep. As well as this there is a small snowmobile. Then the mission specific items, a snowmobile and trailor that seperate to form a small launch pad and lauch control unit. Then of course there is a wagon carrying eight small rockets with drones / observation units that can be launched from the pad. One of the flat wagons is equipped with a crane to help unload the habitation modules as they are relatively bulky. All two Artic explorers need to undertake a secret artic mission!
