Blickling Hall is a stately home which is part of the Blickling estate. It is located in the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in Norfolk, England and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1940. In the 15th century, Blickling was in the possession of Sir John Fastolf of Caister in Norfolk (1380–1459), who made a fortune in the Hundred Years' War, and whose coat of arms is still on display there. Later, the property was in the possession of the Boleyn family, and home to Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife Elizabeth between 1499 and 1505. Although the exact birth dates of their children are unknown, historians including Eric Ives are confident that all three surviving children were likely born at Blickling - Mary in about 1500, Anne in about 1501, and George in about 1504. A statue and portrait of Anne may be found at Blickling Estate which carry the inscription, "Anna Bolena hic nata 1507" (Anne Boleyn born here 1507), based on earlier scholarship which assigned Anne a (now thought highly improbable) year of birth of 1507.
The house of Blickling seen today was built on the ruins of the old Boleyn property in the reign of James I, by Sir Henry Hobart, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and 1st Baronet, who bought Blickling from Robert Clere in 1616. The architect of Hatfield House, Robert Lyminge, is credited with the design of the current structure. The Lord Chief Justice married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Robert Bell of Beaupre Hall, Outwell/Upwell, Norfolk, Speaker of the House of Commons 1572–1576. A grand display of heraldic material is present throughout the estate. During World War II the house was requisitioned and served as the Officers' Mess of nearby RAF Oulton. It was at this time that the house and its estate passed to The National Trust, under the terms of the Country Houses Scheme. RAF servicemen and women were billeted within the grounds in Nissen Huts, whilst RAF Officers were housed within Blickling itself. The National Trust has created the RAF Oulton Museum on site in tribute to the RAF pilots and ground crew who served in the Second World War, and this may be visited for no additional entrance fee.
At the end of the war, the house was de-requisitioned. The National Trust again let it to tenants until 1960, when the Trust began the work to restore the house to a style reflecting its history. The house and grounds were opened to the public in 1962 and remain open under the name of "Blickling Estate". The library at Blickling Estate contains one of the most historically significant collections of manuscripts and books in England. The most important manuscript associated with the house is the Blickling Homilies, which is one of the earliest extant examples of English vernacular homiletic writings. The Blickling homilies were first edited and translated in the 19th century by Richard Morris (Early English Text Society os 58, 63 & 73) and there is a more recent edition and translation by Richard J. Kelly (Continuum, 2003). It is said that every year, on the anniversary of her execution, Anne Boleyn's headless ghost arrives at Blickling in a carriage driven by an equally headless coachman. But she hasn't lost her head completely in the afterlife—she carries it along with her during her hauntings.
The exterior of the house was used as 'Maryiot Cells' at 'Maiden Worthy' in Buckinghamshire in the hit 1945 film The Wicked Lady.
It was voted the most haunted house in Britain in a National Trust survey in October 2007. A house and garden existed at Blickling before the estate was purchased by the Boleyn family in the 1450s, but no records survive to give an indication of their appearance. After Sir Henry Hobart acquired the estate in 1616, he remodelled the gardens to include ponds, wilderness and a parterre. A garden mount– an artificial hill in Blickling's flat landscape, was made to provide views of the new garden. With the accession of Sir John Hobart (later the 1st Earl of Buckingham) in 1698 the garden was expanded to add a new wilderness and the temple was constructed.
In the latter half of the 18th century John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, embarked on works that would radically change the appearance of the gardens. All traces of formality were removed, and naturally arranged clumps of trees were planted to create a landscape garden. By the 1780s an orangery had been built to overwinter tender citrus trees. Following the 2nd Earl's death in 1793, his youngest daughter Caroline, Lady Suffield, employed landscape gardener Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton to advise on garden matters. John Adey Repton would go on to provide designs for many garden features. The estate was inherited by nine-year-old William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th Marquess of Lothian in 1840. He later re-introduced the formality and colour schemes of the parterre. After his death at the age of 38, responsibility for the gardens rested with Lady Lothian and her head gardener Mr Lyon. Philip Henry Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian, inherited the estate in 1930. After disparaging comments in a publication of Country Life, Lothian engaged socialite gardener Norah Lindsay to remodel the gardens. In the parterre she replaced the jumble of minuscule flower beds with four large square beds planted with a mixture of herbaceous plants in graduated and harmonious colours. Other improvements included removal of a line of conifers in the Temple walk, which were replaced with plantings of azaleas.

The bells above are integral part of Hindu temples.
The sound of the bells is supposed to bring peace and tranquility in minds of visitors.
In many temples around India donating these bells to temple leads to completion one's wish that him/her asks at the time of donating the same.
All in all the bells represent the trust and respect of Hindu culture for their Gods.
Though many a times incidences of precious idols of Hindu Gods being stolen for temples also happen.
The temple where i clicked this photograph (on the bank of Gomti river in Lucknow) had chained these bells for anyone to take it away. Leaving a big question mark in front of us to TRUST WHOM..when our people aint leaving the Gods around..!!
OK ... Now lie on the ground, and I'm going to jump this bike between the platforms over the length of your body, alright?

They had to dig this section up really quick... There was no cop to stop the traffic and they barely went on the road. The guy using the saw said that he wouldn't do this with any other operator, that he fully Trusted the man at the controls. After watching him for sometime I would too!
Snave is located just off the A256 which links Ashford , via Hamstreet to the centre of Romney Marsh at Brookland . The village only consists of the church and two or three houses.
The church dedicated to Saint Augustine is one of the most remote churches on the Romney Marsh . It is very small and stands at the end of a deep grass track.
The church consists of a chancel with a North Chapel, nave and a crennelated West Tower, which forms the main entrance to the church.
For the most part, the church dates from the 13th century, but the upper part of the tower was added later. To combat the constant problem of subsidence there are 14 buttresses around the building.
The furnishings mostly date from a restoration of 1873, similar to other churches nearby. The Victorian pulpit and reading desk do containsome panel work of the 15th century, possibly from an old screen. One of the bells was cast by Steven Norton of Maidstone, around 1380. Only two other bells of his manufacture are known to survive.
Sadly this remote church was declared redundant, and its upkeep and maintenance was placed in the care of the Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust in 1984.
St Augustine at Snave is one of those churches supported by the Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust .
A visit to the National Trust property that is Bodnant Garden. The house is not open to the public.
Bodnant Garden (Welsh: Gardd Bodnant) is a National Trust property near Tal-y-Cafn, in the county borough of Conwy, Wales, situated overlooking the Conwy Valley towards the Carneddau range of mountains. Founded in 1874 and developed by five generations of one family, it was gifted to the care of the National Trust in 1949. The garden spans 80 acres of hillside and includes formal Italianate Terraces, informal shrub borders stocked with plants from around the world, and The Dell, a gorge garden, a number of notable trees and a waterfall. Since 2012 new areas to open have included the Winter Garden, Old Park Meadow, Yew Dell and The Far End, a riverside garden. Furnace Wood and Meadow was recently opened in April 2017. There are plans to open more new areas, including Heather Hill and Cae Poeth Meadow in the future. Bodnant Garden is visited by around 190,000 people every year and is famous for its Laburnum arch, the longest in the UK, which flowers in May and June. The garden is also celebrated for its link to the plant hunters of the early 1900s whose expeditions formed the base of the garden's four National Collections of plants – Magnolia, Embothrium, Eucryphia and Rhododendron forrestii.
The former name of "Bodnant Gardens" (Welsh: Gerddi Bodnant) is still in fairly common usage.
The Waterfall Bridge. It's a dam between the lake behind the bridge and the Afon Hiraethlyn in front of the bridge.

When we find ourselves in situations where we feel punched in the gut, it's time to reassess.
You know what I'm talking about....Trust your gut, it's NEVER wrong!
This shot looked better in my head...it's a bit static, asking the one you love to punch you...
is not very convincing, but that is a good thing I am thinking!

Gilf!, a New York City street artist partnered with the NYC DOT Art Program and the DUMBO BID to create a mural constructed with wood, enamel and lacquer. The piece, titled “Trust Your Vision,” is inspired by mazes which allude to the difficulty of navigating through life especially in the competitive world of New York City. Gilf’s abstract work invites the viewer to decipher the hidden messages in the abstract piece. The mural is located on the Front Street fence between Adams Street and Pearl Street in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Bright paint colors were specifically chosen to bring life to the gray fence and energize visitors and inhabitants of the neighborhood.
