Three Snowhill.
The 3 cores are at full height, while the steelwork slowly starts to go up.
And on the core facing St Chad's Circus Queensway, they were for some reason painting it black, and at lunchtime left the message "Gone Lunch". Would assume when they came back they painted over that.

People have been talking about a pumpkin shortage this year. These guys think anything can be carved to look like a jack-o-lantern.
This fountain, built in 1956 consists of a group of three bronze figures representing the Three Fates (Nornenbrunnen), who weave and measure the thread of man's destiny.
Designed by the Bavarian sculptor Josef Wackerle, it's a gift from the people of the German Federal Republic to mark their gratitude for Ireland's help after the war of 1939-45.
On plaque on ground written in German, English and Irish:
With gratitude for the help given to German children by the Irish people after World War II.

That will sort the older ones out! This is a view of the Pont Adolphe in the background thats having a major restoration and repair project started so, as a temporary measure they have built the "Blue Bridge" to take the traffic. In the foreground is a little pedestrian bridge over the Petrusse river
Rondawels are traditional, small round structures, usually with a conical thatch or corrugated iron roof. Sometimes they were built for accommodation and sometimes just for storage purposes. I can remember, as a small child, visiting my aunt and uncle who farmed in the Eastern Cape area. Part of their farmhouse was built in this style. These gigantic outcrops, situated in the spectacular Blyde River Canyon, are named after this type of building.
What does the 2008 financial crisis tell us about the future for financial markets and the macroeconomy? What are the implications for both monetary policy and financial regulation? What level of oversight is necessary to prevent future meltdowns, and how will that regulation affect markets and the economy? Three experts–Lars Peter Hansen, the David Rockefeller Distinguished Professor of Economics and Statistics at the University of Chicago; Jeremy Siegel, the Russell E. Palmer Professor of Finance at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and Neal Soss, the Chief Economist at Credit Suisse–addressed these questions and more for an audience of 150 at Credit Suisse in New York during a wide-ranging panel discussion on the ways that financial markets intersect with the lives of everyday citizens.

Formed only in 2007, Fleshgod Apocalypse are at the vanguard of Italy’s extreme metal movement. No other band in the country’s history has taken ownership of and innovated on death metal quite like the Italians. Inspired by greats Morbid Angel, Deicide, and Cannibal Corpse as well as renowned composers Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven, Fleshgod Apocalypse have fused disparate genres and crafted a sound that’s powerful, impressive, and unique across three full-lengths, the latest of which was 2013’s critically-acclaimed Labyrinth effort. However, the group are only getting stronger. Add in film score composers such as John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Howard Shore and melodic death metal—Carcass and At the Gates—and there’s clearly no stopping Fleshgod Apocalypse’s creative ambitions.
“Fleshgod Apocalypse’s music is orchestral music,” says frontman/guitarist Tommaso Riccardi, blurring the lines between classical refinement and metallic bombast. “This means that drums, bass, guitars, and vocals are elements of the orchestra, together with all the other sections, [such as] strings, brass, etc. This means that in the process of composing new songs we always consider all these elements together. Of course, sometimes a guitar riff could be the starting point, while sometimes the song could come to life with the idea of a main orchestral theme or a drum rhythm, but it’s going to be a very organic process in which all these elements are written and arranged together during the evolution of the songwriting.”
What Riccardi is saying is that when it comes to writing music for Fleshgod Apocalypse, the spark of inspiration can come from anywhere on any instrument. For new album, King, a song like “Gravity” started with a riff, while a song like “In Aeternum” kicked off with an orchestral motif. Then again, “The Fool” was informed by both Classical and death metal. As with Labyrinth so too with King, the Italians focused first on melding their influences and second on writing songs that would be immediately recognizable yet have a wider and deeper cinematic scope.
“[The songwriting was] very stressful as usual,” the frontman laughs. “We are extremely meticulous about everything, especially the songwriting, and I think this is what made us grow up so fast and gave us the chance to play so many great stages over the years. We are hard workers and we never settle on anything. King’s songwriting and arrangements took almost nine full months—plus all the recordings—so it was actually very challenging. But we are so happy with the results.”
To date, every Fleshgod Apocalypse album is built on the album before it. They’re a synthesis of the music and mentality of what came before. Labyrinth took from and expanded upon 2011’s Agony. The Mafia EP was an extension of debut album, Oracles (2009). King is, therefore, cut from the same cloth as Labyrinth, but in the three years between albums, Fleshgod Apocalypse have matured greatly.
“[King] is much more than the sum of its parts,” says Riccardi. “I think we reached the perfect balance between all the aspects of our music. Besides that, I really believe that we simply wrote our best songs so far. Every riff is mind-blowing and the way we managed the arrangements and song structures is great; I really feel that everything is in the right place, when I listen to it.”
Fleshgod Apocalypse are no strangers to concept albums. Agony was about all the ways our painful feelings can lead us to be violent and hurt others; Mafia was about the way the Italian mafia uses fear to control the weak and perpetrate their dominion on the populace; while Labyrinth centered on the labyrinth of Knossos, the legendary maze made by Daedalus. King, however, moves the band forward lyrically. There’s real commentary behind the stories of a collapsing world.
“King is about an old world that is slowly coming to an end,” Riccardi informs. “The king himself is, in a way, the only positive character of the whole story. He represents justice, integrity, and wisdom that are slowly being corroded by ignorance and mediocrity spreading everywhere. We thought this could be a perfect way to describe our indignation about the unrestrainable downfall of our own society in an era that looks more like the Middle Ages rather than the 21st Century. Obviously, in this story there is a positive message: that the king could be inside every one of us. It’s up to us to recognize the King and find the courage to stand for what we believe in. We should all hail the king we have inside!”
Recorded across two studios—Kick Recording Studios and 16th Cellar Studios—King is easily Fleshgod Apocalypse’s most forceful yet. Pre-production was handled by Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studios—a session Riccardi called “really comfortable”—whereas the full production was completed at Kick Recording Studios with Marco Mastrobuono (Hour of Penance). The sessions for King were, as the frontman tells it, an “amazing time.” The ultimate goal was to give Fleshgod Apocalypse a firm foundation from which to build their complex yet savage music.
“I think working with Marco has been the very first step towards the realization of a very high quality product,” says Riccardi. “We are extremely satisfied about the work we did on the album sound, both during the recordings with Marco Mastrobuono at Kick Recording Studio and of course during mixing and mastering with the almighty Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios.”
Speaking of Bogren, the Italians felt it was absolutely necessary to take King out of the norms of their homeland. They opted to hire Jens Bogren (Soilwork, Symphony X, Enslaved) for his sonic expertise. Their reasoning was this: if Fleshgod Apocalypse had a gem in King on their hands they weren’t going to tarnish it. The group’s hopes were answered when they heard the first Bogren mix, actually. Fleshgod Apocalypse had something massive on their hands.
“We were looking for people who could really interpret our music and put it in a way in, which with all the things going on, where it could be intelligible and still extremely heavy and powerful,” the frontman says. “And we definitely succeeded. We finally obtained what we had in mind since the beginning: a great sounding album.”
If Fleshgod Apocalypse are at the pinnacle of classically-inspired death metal—King is a pivotal album—then where will the Italians take the genre next. For certain, they own it. More orchestration. More death metal. Superlative bluster from all angles. Thankfully, they can first put their efforts into King before deciding where they’ll take the genre in the future.
“This is a very hard question to answer,” Riccardi admits. “It is never easy to predict something like that. What I can say is that on our side, we are trying to push ourselves more and more into something that is grandiose, but at the same time heavy and sharp; something violent, obscure and dramatic!”
We can certainly live with that. Hail to Fleshgod Apocalypse! Hail to the King!
Three paintball campers at Pleasant Vineyard get ready to make a mad dash once the whistle blows to start the game.

Three Shire Head (also known as Three Shire's Head, Three Shires Head, Three Shire Heads) is the point on Axe Edge Moor where Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet, at UK grid reference SK009685, or
53.213°N 1.987°W.
It is on the River Dane, which marks the Cheshire border in this area. On the east of the river, the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire runs north-east for about a mile to Cheeks Hill, on the higher regions of Axe Edge Moor. From Cheeks Hill the border runs south then east to the head of the River Dove.[1]
The main landmark is an ancient packhorse bridge.
The Three Gables is one of Bradford on Avon’s most iconic buildings. Painstakingly restored The Three Gables is a row of three low gabled 17th century houses; a straight joint in the rubble masonry and a slightly different gable suggests that the right hand end was built a a separate time. The right two were the Queen’s Head Inn until 1914 and the other was a tea shop. Since then they have been a succession of restaurants called the Three Gables, Spindles and Rosario’s. They were empty for years, but have now been restored as a restaurant again.
A happy memory from my childhood-- times romping through the woods, playing make-believe with sticks, rocks, ferns, & the delightful sassafras tree with its three differently-shaped leaves. Seen most recently in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, USA on July 12, 2009. In January, 2015, this photo was requested for use in a gardening article on the sassafras tree.

I photographed this group in much the same location as those in the previous photograph. While the cranes seem to collect in large groups near water in the evening and early morning, during the day they are often found more spread out in agricultural areas like this one.

This monument commemorates four men who died in a distillery well here. One was overcome with fumes while working, the other died in a rescue attempt.
An inscription here says:-
'Of your charity pray for the souls of Thomas Pickett, Godfrey Maule Nicholson, Frederick Eliott and Robert Underhill, who lost their lives in a well beneath this spot on 12 July 1901. The first named while in the execution of his duty was overcome by foul air. The three latter successively descending in heroic efforts to save their comrades shared the same death.'
