UK & International Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Private Tuition Days
This image was captured this morning from Friar's Crag at Derwentwater while leading a 1-2-1 tuition day with David. It was just amazing to see the mist rolling along the surface of the water as the sun rose and illuminated the trees of Lord's Island just beautifully.
Autumn is definitely coming as the morning was a crisp 5°c. I cannot wait for the colours to change.

JOIN ME on my Five Day Northern Lights Iceland Workshop
15th - 20th October 2020

I am finally home from an absolutely magical sixteen days in Iceland. I was shooting solo for the first eight days followed by leading a workshop for eight wonderful clients the remaining eight days with my good friend and award winning landscape photographer Tony Higginson.
This image of the hugely photogenic triangular emergency shelter in Iceland was photographed on my first night in Iceland. I had just captured an inspiring shot of the nearby iconic black and white Budir Church when I decided to make a detour en-route back to the guesthouse at midnight to this location.
It is located high up on a mountain pass which is affected by much heavier snowfall than the surrounding roads. Sadly I managed to ditch the car in a snowbank when parking up which rendered me immobile for nine hours until the recovery vehicle arrived meaning that I had a rather uncomfortable night in the car until 9am. The temperature was -11 and I can vouch that it was extremely cold. I ran the engine continuously from 3am onwards to keep me from freezing, literally. A vehicle did not pass me between 12.30am and 7am, this place is pretty remote.
Still, the things we do for our art. I will confess that the sunrise was lovely but it was the aurora that once again took my breath away. Standing on your own on top of a mountain pass with a volcano looming large over you in the dark is a sobering experience but one to be savoured. Mind you, I was less enthusiastic about hearing what I thought were footprints in the snow behind me prompting me to spin around with my head torch feverishly scanning the landscape for signs of life, be it human or animal. Nothing could be found but it certainly keeps you on your toes that's for sure.
Anyhow, I have so many many more photos to share with you over the coming fortnight but for now, I must finish my Powerpoint presentation that I will be delivering tomorrow morning at 11am on the Fotospeed paper stand at The Photography Show. Come along and heckle if you wish, I'm sure that you will not be alone.
Have a great Friday everyone

Still trying to get through the photos from my Faroe Island trip. It is going to take me ages to get through them all.
The two other photographers that were with me also have some amazing photos Mike Murphy and Mike Unwin.
If you want to learn more about this kind of photography, I have a photo tour coming up! In partnership with my friend and landscape photographer Slawek Staszczuk www.photoss.net/iceland.html, I’m organizing a week long photographic tour of Iceland in June 2016. I have already led several of these tours and I’m excited to be collaborating with Slawek for this year’s tour. It will be a small group, maximum 4 guests, in an RV. No luxuries, we’ll be moving all over the country focusing on the photography, 24/7. The tuition will include image editing for anyone interested. A reasonable level of fitness is necessary as there is some hiking involved. If you’d like a chance for 1:1 training in a stunning landscape, don’t miss out on this opportunity. Iceland Air flys from many direct locations in Europe and the USA.
STUDENTS DayX3 NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
Protest and march against University tuition fee increases, 09th Dec. 2010
Over 20,000 students from around the country converged on Central London today to march for a third time to protest against the coalition government's plans to massively increase University tuition fees, which will ultimately mean that far fewer students from poorer backgrounds will be able to even consider a University education because of the massive debts incurred which will follow them for the rest of their working lives.
I joined the days proceedings in the afternoon as they were assembling in Trafalgar Square. To throw the police off-guard they suddenly took off, en mass, through Admiralty Arch in a bid to get to Parliament Square, which had been forbidden. That evening the House of Commons was voting on the Education Funding Bill, and the students were determined to make sure that Parliament heard their protests.
The day started in a good mood, but by the time they reached Parliament pockets of disorder had started breaking out - Flares were lit and thrown, crush barriers and construction site fencing ripped up to be used as weapons against the massed ranks of riot police and later on the mounted police. I had to leave by around 3pm, and by the time I got home and turned on the BBC news all hell had broken loose outside Parliament. Protesters were pelting the police with lumps of masonry, metal poles and scaffolding. They lit large fires, broke down the doors to The Treasury and the new Ministry of Justice buildings, smashing many windows, daubing graffiti everywhere and generally smashing up the joint. Many people were arrested and many people hurt, some badly.
As the police gradually started releasing the by-now contained protesters in small numbers, several small groups headed up to Oxford Street, where they smashed the windows of the flagship TopShop store (owned by Sir Phillip Green who is being attacked for shovelling billions of pounds of what should be UK taxable income into tax haven accounts owned by his wife as part of a legal tax dodge), and in Regent Street they engulfed the Bentley containing Prince Charles and his horse-faced wife Camilla who were in the process of swanning orf the the Royal Variety Performance! The protesters started kicking the vehicle. They broke the windows and threw a tin of white paint over the car. One was not amused!
Needless to say the Bill was passed in Parliament tonight, and the students have vowed to continue their campaign of demonstration and civil disobedience...

While stopping at a scenic overlook I saw this Harley Davidson bathed in the yellow light of the setting sun parked next to my car and I dreamed of getting one, straddling it and blazing down a highway until I thought about my next car payment, my son's next semester of college tuition and books, the kitchen I have been meaning to remodel for years and crap you get the point.
Come and join me on my Harris and Lewis Photography Workshop 2nd-8th March 2019 £1,395
melvinnicholsonphotography.co.uk/product/harris-lewis-sco...
This beach that you can see here was photographed on my last day there back in January and it is typical of the stunningly beautiful sandy beaches that you see on Harris. The colour of the water is aqua, the sandy lovely and golden and the skies either bright blue or full of the most vibrant clouds known to man.
Scotland is sure one hell of a place to visit with a camera and I never tire of doing so whatever the weather/time of the year but late autumn should produce some stunning colours whilst still being mild. The temperatures were ten degrees in the middle of January which happened to be the warmest in Europe at the time. Apparently Lewis and Harris does not suffer extreme cold weather in the winter.
Anyway, I hope you all like the image as much as I did taking it :D

I have spent the last hour trying to figure out the names of the fells in the distance but failed. You you know, please let me know. I took this photo while driving from Muker to Preston via Kirkby Stephen on Monday evening (around 6.30pm) and the light was just sublime.
I felt compelled to pull up the minibus, jump out, walk a hundred yards to the highest point around me and set up my Canon 5D MK4 with the 24-70mm f4 lens. The light intensified as the clouds rolled right to left. The main fell in the middle of the frame was just being kept in check by the heavy set dark, brooding sky above it. Just a magical moment to witness and capture on camera.
I hope you all like it and as usual, please feel FREE TO SHARE if you wish. Many thanks in advance.

Captured during a late afternoon in November during one of my workshops in Glencoe. This location is wonderful and only a short ten minute from the car. If the sky is clear, the colours that appear are wonderful, but only after the sun has set. This view is just one of the reasons why I love Scotland as much as I do. Just magical.
I hope Christmas has been kind to you all.

Another image from the 'Hamburg series' - Something very different from my usual landscape photography, and something I really enjoy shooting when given the chance...
A trip to Hamburg had been on my 'to do' list for a long time and I also said I would meet up with local photographer Andreas Mundt when I decided to come over.
I ended up visiting for 3 days and Andreas kindly showed me around a lot of the places, it was amazing how much we managed to do in such a relatively short time, I must thank him for he impeccable local knowledge and taking the time out to come out shooting with me it was a pleasure! There will be quite a few of these types of images going up onto Flickr and the also onto my website which I'll be updating in the next few days with the Architechtural images from the trip.
There is no way I would have found half of these locations and be able to ask permission to get into them so again a huge thanks to Andreas, a link to his excellent stream can be found here -

Tuition centre (Malay: Pusat Tuisyen) is a special term for private educational institutions; they are especially abundant and ubiquitous in Malaysia, India, The Middle East and Singapore. In Indonesia, they are known as Bimbingan Belajar or bimbel in short. Many school teachers earn their supplementary income through tuition centres and agencies. Some teachers 'advertise' their tuition classes and coach those who attend their classes on how to tackle examination questions. Their focus is primarily rote learning. Some teachers earn up to RM10,000 or S$8,000 by giving private tuition.

Scottish highlands are easily among my favourite breeds of cattle.
I was quite happy when a boy from my tuition group told me he had spotted some. (Actually he thought he had found some bisons).
This female cow is extremely curious on whats going on and came directely to check me out, before the rest of the group followed. They soon lost interest when I did not feed them and wandered off. Clever!
Females are lighter than males (usually lighter than 500 kg) and are easy to identify because their long horns go to the sides and upward, while the males horns are shorter and bow foreward.

Un huevo de Fabergé es una de las sesenta y nueve joyas creadas por Carl Fabergé y sus artesanos de la empresa Fabergé para los zares de Rusia, así como para algunos miembros de la nobleza y la burguesía industrial y financiera, entre los años 1885 y 1917. Los huevos se consideran obras maestras de la joyería.
La fiesta más importante del calendario de la Iglesia ortodoxa rusa es la Pascua. Se celebra con tres besos y el intercambio de huevos de Pascua. Por lo que respecta a los huevos imperiales de Fabergé, estos comenzaron a fabricarse en 1885 cuando el zar Alejandro III encargó un huevo de Pascua para su esposa, la emperatriz María Fiódorovna. El huevo recordaba a la patria de la emperatriz, Dinamarca, ya que el joyero se había inspirado en un huevo de pascua que se encontraba en las colecciones reales danesas y tanto agradó a la zarina que el zar ordenó que Peter Carl Gustávovich Fabergé fabricara un huevo de Pascua cada año para la zarina, estipulando solamente que el huevo fuese único y que encerrase una sorpresa.
También en 1885 Fabergé fue nombrado proveedor oficial de la corte imperial rusa. El joyero y su equipo de orfebres y artesanos, entre ellos maestros joyeros como el ruso Michael Perkhin y los finlandeses Henrik Wigström y Erik August Kollin, diseñaron y confeccionaron huevos de Pascua durante once años más para Alejandro III de Rusia hasta que este falleció, continuando su hijo y sucesor Nicolás II con la tradición. Estos proyectos se convirtieron en prioridad absoluta de la compañía y fueron planeados y trabajados con un año o más de antelación: la sorpresa que contenía el huevo se mantenía siempre en secreto.
Para el diseño de los huevos imperiales Fabergé se inspiró en distintos estilos artísticos europeos, como el Barroco, el Rococó, el Neoclásico o el Modernista, así como en obras de arte que contempló durante sus estancias y viajes por Europa. Había huevos creados para conmemorar acontecimientos tales como la coronación del zar Nicolás II, la terminación del ferrocarril Transiberiano, así como para celebrar aniversarios importantes. Otros huevos guardaban en su interior el yate imperial Standart, la catedral de Uspensky, el palacio de Gátchina o el palacio Alejandro, por citar unos ejemplos.
De los 69 huevos que hizo en total la Casa Fabergé para los zares, la aristocracia y la élite industrial y financiera, se conservan 61. Se conocen cincuenta y dos huevos imperiales, cuarenta y cuatro de los cuales se han localizado hoy, entre ellos los dos últimos de 1917 que nunca fueron entregados ni terminados a causa de la Revolución rusa, destacando el huevo de la constelación del Zarévich. Los restantes 8 huevos imperiales se consideran perdidos o desaparecidos (Stalin ordenó venderlos para recaudar fondos1); dos se conocen solamente por haber sido fotografiados en primer plano, otros tres se han descubierto en 2007, dos de ellos en una foto tomada a una vitrina de la zarina María Fiódorovna, donde aparece el tercer huevo imperial (este huevo fue recientemente descubierto y será rematado)2 y el huevo con querubín y carruaje, este último quedó reflejado en el cristal de la misma, en cuanto al huevo del neceser figura en una fotografía de la joyería Wartski, Londres, en la parte inferior de una vitrina. No se tiene ningún documento visual de los otros tres.
Otros siete huevos de Pascua fueron encargados por Alejandro Ferdinándovich Kelch, dueño de minas de oro en Siberia, para su esposa Bárbara. Asimismo personajes de la época como Alfred Nobel, el Príncipe Yusúpov, los duques de Marlborough entre otras personas de categoría no imperial encargaron los suyos, sumando un total de ocho huevos. Sin embargo, la colección imperial de huevos de Pascua encargada por los dos últimos zares rusos es la más famosa.
Entre los materiales usados por Fabergé figuran metales como el oro, platino, plata, cobre, níquel, paladio y acero, los cuales fueron combinados en distintas proporciones con el fin de conseguir diferentes colores para la "cáscara" del huevo.
Otra técnica usada por Fabergé fue la conocida como guilloché, un tratamiento de grabado superficial sobre metal que consiste en hacer ondas, estrías o cualquier otro dibujo, de un modo repetitivo y simétrico, que se podía realizar a máquina o a mano. Fabergé se mostraba orgulloso de que todas las materias primas que se empleaban en su taller provenían de distintas partes de Rusia. Muchos huevos incluían minerales como el jaspe, la malaquita, la rodonita, el cristal de roca, el ágata, la aventurina, el lapislázuli y el jade (nefrita sobre todo, aunque usaba a veces la jadeíta). El huevo de 1917, destinado a la zarina María Fyodorevna, estaba realizado en madera de abedul de Karelia.
Las piedras preciosas, incluyendo los zafiros, los rubíes y las esmeraldas, fueron utilizadas para la decoración de los huevos y/o la sorpresa que contenían. Cuando se usaban era en la talla conocida como cabujón (corte redondo). En cuanto al tipo de talla empleada para los diamantes, era la típica talla rosa. Por otra parte también se emplearon piedras semipreciosas como las piedras de luna, los granates, los olivinos y las piedras de Mecca, usadas más a menudo en la talla cabujón.
La fuente primaria de inspiración de Fabergé venía de los trabajos de siglos anteriores. El esmalte translúcido era una técnica muy valorada en el siglo XIX, que requería de varias capas de esmalte que se secaban en un horno después de aplicar cada capa. Sin embargo, durante el siglo XIX se disponía solamente de una limitada gama de colores, de modo que Fabergé experimentó y pronto aumentó su paleta de colores hasta lograr más de 140 tonalidades diferentes. El más apreciado fue el esmalte de ostra, el cual variaba de color dependiendo de la luz.
La Casa Fabergé fabricó, entre otros tantos objetos decorativos, accesorios para escritorio y joyas y muchos más huevos de Pascua, pero los más célebres son los que a continuación se detallan.

A Fabergé egg (Russian: Яйца Фаберже́, yaytsa faberzhe) is a jewelled egg (possibly numbering as many as 69, of which 57 survive today) created by the House of Fabergé, in St. Petersburg, Imperial Russia. Virtually all were manufactured under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé between 1885 and 1917, the most famous being the 52 "Imperial" eggs, 44 of which survive, made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers.
The first Fabergé egg was crafted for Tsar Alexander III, who had decided to give his wife, the Empress Maria Feodorovna, an Easter egg in 1885, possibly to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their betrothal. Although there is no official record of the Tsar's inspiration for it, many believe that he was moved by an egg owned by the Empress's aunt, Princess Vilhelmine Marie of Denmark, which had captivated Maria's imagination in her childhood and of which the Tsar was well aware. Known as the Hen Egg, the very first Fabergé egg is crafted from a foundation of gold. Its opaque white enameled "shell" opens to reveal a matte yellow-gold yolk. This in turn opens to reveal a multicolored gold hen that also opens. The hen contained a minute diamond replica of the imperial crown from which a small ruby pendant was suspended, but these last two elements have been lost.
Maria was so delighted by the gift that Alexander appointed Fabergé a "goldsmith by special appointment to the Imperial Crown" and commissioned another egg the next year. After that, Peter Carl Fabergé was apparently given complete freedom for the design of future imperial Easter eggs, and their designs became more elaborate. According to Fabergé family lore, not even the Tsar knew what form they would take—the only requirements were that each contain a surprise, and that each be unique. Once Fabergé had approved an initial design, the work was carried out by a team of craftsmen, among them Michael Perkhin, Henrik Wigström and Erik August Kollin.
After Alexander III's death on 1 November 1894, his son, Nicholas II, presented a Fabergé egg to both his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna, and his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna. Records have shown that of the 50 imperial Easter eggs, 20 were given to the former and 30 to the latter. Eggs were made each year except 1904 and 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War.
The imperial eggs enjoyed great fame, and Fabergé was commissioned to make similar eggs for a few private clients, including the Duchess of Marlborough, the Rothschild family and the Yusupovs. Fabergé was also commissioned to make twelve eggs for the industrialist Alexander Kelch, though only seven appear to have been completed.
Following the revolution and the nationalization of the Fabergé workshop in St. Petersburg by the bolsheviks in 1918, the Fabergé family left Russia. The Fabergé trademark has since been sold several times and several companies have retailed egg-related merchandise using the Fabergé name. The Victor Mayer jewelry company produced limited edition heirloom quality Fabergé eggs authorized under Unilever's license from 1998 to 2009. The trademark is now owned by Fabergé Limited, which makes egg-themed jewellery.
In 2015 the owners of this trademark announced the creation of a new "Fabergé" egg, one styled by them as belonging to the "Imperial Class" of eggs and therefore the first Imperial-Class egg in 100 years: the Fabergé Pearl egg is to be sold in Qatar following a five-day exhibition some time in 2017. A spokesperson for the brand said it expected the egg to fetch at least two million US dollars, possibly much more. Despite its designation as "Imperial", it has no connection to Imperial Russia and instead has become closely tied to wealthy Arab ruling families of various Gulf Nations.[4] Its motif has been described as "scalloped", but the patterns of its curves and lines are also clearly derived from the girih and arabesque of Islamic interlace patterns, and each of its six vertical segments includes a stylized pointed dome and associated pendentives reminiscent of the onion dome and ceiling of an Arabic mosque.

Peter Carl Fabergé, conocido también como Karl Gustavovich Fabergé (en ruso, Карл Густавович Фаберже) (30 de mayo de 1846, San Petersburgo, Rusia – 24 de septiembre de 1920, Lausana, Suiza), fue un joyero ruso. Es considerado uno de los orfebres más destacados del mundo, que realizó 69 huevos de Pascua entre los años 1885 a 1917, 61 de ellos se conservan.
En 1870 pasa a ser el responsable de la empresa familiar de joyería en San Petersburgo. Con una excelente reputación como diseñador, trabaja con piedras preciosas y metales, y realiza diseños de diferentes estilos como ruso antiguo, griego, renacentista, barroco, Art Nouveau, naturalista y caricaturesco.
Sus obras fueron expuestas en la Exposición Panrusa de Moscú de 1882 y recibieron la medalla de oro. Recibió el nombramiento de orfebre y joyero de la Corte Imperial Rusa y de otras muchas monarquías europeas. Fabricó joyas con forma de huevos de Pascua de oro y esmalte, animales en miniatura, cálices, bomboneras y otros objetos
Para la Pascua de 1885, el zar Alejandro III le encargó al orfebre Peter Carl Fabergé la construcción de un huevo para regalarle a su mujer, la zarina María. El regalo consistió en un huevo con cáscara de platino que contenía dentro uno más pequeño de oro. Al abrirse este último, se encontraba una gallina de oro en miniatura que tenía sobre su cabeza una réplica de la corona imperial rusa. Este particular Huevo de Pascua le gustó tanto a la emperatriz que el zar le ordenó a Fabergé que realizara uno nuevo para cada Pascua.
Once fueron en total los huevos que Alejandro III le regaló a su mujer. Luego, su hijo Nicolás II continuó con esta tradición y mandó realizar otros para regalarle a su mujer y a su madre. Los 57 huevos que confeccionó la casa Fabergé tenían en su interior algún obsequio, réplica en miniatura de una de las pertenencias de los zares.
La Revolución rusa acabó con la firma.
Desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial han salido a subasta seis de estas obras de arte. En noviembre de 1994 el Winter Egg (creado en 1913, y que se creía perdido hasta 1984) alcanzó los 5.600.000 dólares.
Recientemente (28 de noviembre de 2007) un huevo fabricado por Fabergé para la familia de banqueros Rothschild, alcanzó en subasta el precio récord de 18 millones de dólares.

Peter Carl Fabergé, also known as Karl Gustavovich Fabergé (Russian: Карл Гу́ставович Фаберже́, Karl Gustavovich Faberzhe; 30 May 1846 – 24 September 1920), was a Russian jeweller best known for the famous Fabergé eggs made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials. He was the founder of the famous jewelry legacy House of Fabergé.
Peter Carl Faberge was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to the Baltic German jeweller Gustav Fabergé and his Danish wife Charlotte Jungstedt. Gustav Fabergé's paternal ancestors were Huguenots, originally from La Bouteille, Picardy, who fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, first to Germany near Berlin, then in 1800 to the Pernau (today Pärnu)[2] Baltic province of Livonia, then part of Russia, now Estonia.
Until he was 14 years old he went to the German St Anne School in Saint Petersburg, Russia.[citation needed] In 1860 his father retired from his jewelry business and moved with his family to Germany. He left the House of Fabergé in Saint Petersburg in the hands of his business partner. Carl Fabergé undertook a course at the Dresden Arts and Crafts School. In 1862 Agathon Fabergé, the Fabergés' second son, was born in Dresden, Germany, where he went to school as well.
In 1864, Peter Carl Fabergé embarked upon a Grand Tour of Europe. He received tuition from respected goldsmiths in Germany, France and England, attended a course at Schloss's Commercial College in Paris, and viewed the objects in the galleries of Europe's leading museums.
His travel and study continued until 1872, when at the age of 26 he returned to St. Petersburg and married Augusta Julia Jacobs. 1874 saw the arrival of his first child, Eugene Fabergé and two years later, Agathon Fabergé was born; Alexander Fabergé and Nicholas Fabergé followed in 1877 and 1884 respectively. For the following 10 years, his father's trusted workmaster Hiskias Pendin acted as his mentor and tutor. The company was also involved with cataloguing, repairing, and restoring objects in the Hermitage during the 1870s. In 1881 the business moved to larger street-level premises at 16/18 Bolshaya Morskaya.
Upon the death of Hiskias Pendin in 1882, Carl Fabergé took sole responsibility for running the company. Carl was awarded the title Master Goldsmith, which permitted him to use his own hallmark in addition to that of the firm. In 1885 his brother Agathon Fabergé joined the firm and became Carl Faberge's main assistant in the designing of jewelry.[3]
Carl and Agathon Fabergé Sr. were a sensation at the Pan-Russian Exhibition held in Moscow in 1882. Carl was awarded a gold medal and the St. Stanisias Medal. One of the Fabergé pieces displayed was a replica of a 4th-century BC gold bangle from the Scythian Treasure in the Hermitage. The Tsar, Alexander III, "Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russians", declared that he could not distinguish the Fabergé's work from the original and ordered that objects by the House of Fabergé should be displayed in the Hermitage as examples of superb contemporary Russian craftsmanship. The House of Fabergé with its range of jewels was now within the focus of Russia's Imperial Court.
When Peter Carl took over the House, there was a move from producing jewellery in the then-fashionable French 18th century style to becoming artist-jewellers. Fabergé's production of the very first so-called Fabergé egg, the Hen Egg, given as a gift from the Tsar to his wife Maria Fyodorovna on Orthodox Easter (24 March) of 1885 so delighted her that on 1 May the Emperor assigned Fabergé the title Goldsmith by special appointment to the Imperial Crown of that year. This meant that Fabergé now had full personal access to the important Hermitage Collection, where he was able to study and find inspiration for developing his unique personal style. Influenced by the jewelled bouquets created by the eighteenth century goldsmiths Jean-Jacques Duval and Jérémie Pauzié, Fabergé re-worked their ideas combining them with his accurate observations and his fascination for Japanese art. This resulted in a revival of the lost art of enameling and a focus on the setting of every single gemstone in a piece to its best visual advantage. Indeed, it was not unusual for Agathon to make ten or more wax models so that all possibilities could be exhausted before deciding on a final design. Shortly after Agathon joined the firm, the House introduced objects deluxe: gold bejewelled items embellished with enamel ranging from electric bell pushes to cigarette cases and including objects de fantaisie.
In light of the Empress' response to receiving one of Fabergé's eggs on Easter, the Tsar soon commissioned the company to make an Easter egg as a gift for her every year thereafter. The Tsar placed an order for another egg the following year. Beginning in 1887, the Tsar apparently gave Carl Fabergé complete freedom with regard to egg designs, which then became more and more elaborate. According to Fabergé Family tradition, not even the Tsar knew what form they would take— the only stipulation was that each one should be unique and each should contain a surprise. Upon the death of Alexander III, his son, the next Tsar, Nicholas II, followed this tradition and expanded it by requesting that there be two eggs each year, one for his mother (who was eventually given a total of 30 such eggs) and one for his wife, Alexandra (who received another 20). These Easter gift eggs are today distinguished from the other jeweled eggs Fabergé ended up producing by their designation as "Imperial Easter eggs" or "Tsar Imperial Easter eggs". The tradition continued until the October Revolution when the entire Romanov dynasty was executed and the eggs and many other treasures were confiscated by the interim government. The two final eggs were never delivered nor paid for.
Although today the House of Fabergé is famed for its Imperial Easter eggs, it made many more objects ranging from silver tableware to fine jewelry which were also of exceptional quality and beauty, and until its departure from Russia during the revolution, Fabergé's company became the largest jewelry business in the country. In addition to its Saint Petersburg headquarters, it had branches in Moscow, Odessa, Kiev and London. It produced some 150,000 to 200,000 objects from 1882 until 1917.
In 1900, Fabergé's work represented Russia at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris. As Carl Fabergé was a member of the jury, the House of Fabergé exhibited hors concours (without competing). Nevertheless, the House was awarded a gold medal and the city's jewelers recognized Carl Fabergé as a maître. Additionally, France recognized Carl Fabergé with one of the most prestigious of French awards, appointing him a knight of the Legion of Honour. Two of Carl's sons and his head workmaster were also honored. Commercially, the exposition was a great success and the firm acquired a great many orders and clients.
In 1916, the House of Fabergé became a joint-stock company with a capital of 3-million rubles.
The following year upon the outbreak of the October Revolution, the business was taken over by a 'Committee of the Employees of the Company K Fabergé. In 1918 The House of Fabergé was nationalised by the Bolsheviks. In early October the stock was confiscated. The House of Fabergé was no more.]
After the nationalisation of the business, Carl Fabergé left St. Petersburg on the last diplomatic train for Riga. In mid-November, the Revolution having reached Latvia, he fled to Germany and first settled in Bad Homburg and then in Wiesbaden. Eugène, the Fabergés' eldest, travelled with his mother in darkness by sleigh and on foot through snow-covered woods and reached Finland in December 1918. During June 1920, Eugène reached Wiesbaden and accompanied his father to Switzerland where other members of the family had taken refuge at the Bellevue Hotel in Pully, near Lausanne.
Peter Carl Fabergé never recovered from the shock of the Russian Revolution. He died in Switzerland on September 24, 1920. His family believed he died of a broken heart. His wife, Augusta, died in 1925. The two were reunited in 1929 when Eugène Fabergé took his father's ashes from Lausanne and buried them in his mother's grave at the Cimetière du Grand Jas in Cannes, France.
Fabergé had four sons: Eugène (1874–1960), Agathon (1876–1951), Alexander (1877–1952) and Nicholas (1884–1939). Descendants of Peter Carl Fabergé live in mainland Europe, Scandinavia and South America.
Henry Bainbridge, a manager of the London branch of the House of Fabergé, recorded recollections of his meetings with his employer in both his autobiography and the book he wrote about Fabergé. We are also given an insight into the man from the recollections of François Birbaum, Fabergé's senior master craftsman from 1893 until the House's demise.
From Bainbridge we know that while punctilious with his dress, Fabergé "rarely if ever wore black but favoured well-cut tweeds". He added "There was an air of the country gentleman about him, at times he reminded one of an immaculate gamekeeper with large pockets." He was a very focused individual with no wasted actions or speech. He did not like small talk. On one occasion during dinner Bainbridge, feeling out of the conversation said, "I see Lord Swaythingly is dead". Fabergé asked who he was and upon being told responded cuttingly, "And what can I do with a dead banker?"
When taking orders from customers he was always in a hurry and would soon forget the fine detail. He would then interrogate the staff so as to find any who had been standing near him and may have overheard. His great-granddaughter Tatiana Fabergé notes that he usually had a knotted handkerchief in his breast pocket.
When Carl noticed an unsuccessfully wrought item, he would call for his senior master craftsman and make endless derisory and ironic remarks. On occasions when Birbaum realized Fabergé was the designer, he would show him his sketch. Fabergé would then smile guiltily and say, "Since there is nobody to scold me, I have had to do it myself".
From Birbaum we also know that Carl was famous for his wit and was quite merciless to fops, whom he hated. A certain prince who fell into this category boasted to Fabergé about his latest honour from the Tsar, adding that he had no idea as to why the award was made. The prince expected the jeweler to shower him with congratulations. Instead, Fabergé simply replied, "Indeed, your Highness, I too have no idea what for".
Carl never traveled with luggage—he bought all his requisites at his destination. On one occasion, when he arrived at the Negresco Hotel in Nice the doorman barred him from entering because of the amount of luggage he carried. Thankfully one of the grand dukes who was in residence called out a greeting and Carl Fabergé was promptly ushered apologetically into the establishment.
Bainbridge concludes, "Taking him all in all, Fabergé came as near to a complete understanding of human nature as it is possible for a man to come, with one word only inscribed on his banner, and that word – tolerance. There is no doubt whatsoever that this consideration for the worth of others was the foundation for his success."

Trent Barton 9310, has recently been converted for use as a driver tuition vehicle. Previously, the vehicle had been numbered 665 in the fleet and worked the Skylink services to East Midlands Airport. Finally ousted by an intake of new vehicles, the bus enjoys a more leisurely life these days.
While on late afternoon driver training duties, the bus is captured climbing Willey Lane towards Selston, Notts. Here the road makes a steady climb away from Moorgreen Reservoir and on towards Underwood in North East, Nottinghamshire.

A motorised intruder at the Carcereira Porto tram depot on Boavista and works probably an Iveco was offering a bit of tuition to the office staff.
I think I counted 26 species of gulls (excluding the "seagull" unless you want to include Johnathan Livingston which is quite a stretch). There are three that I can name other than Johnathan Livingston, the Heermann's and Ring-billed, and then the one that ruined a brand new sweater which he did on purpose. How juvenile! Especially for an adult.
Anyway, as I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself, the Western Gull is a stunning bird as an adult and when it's not molting, and yet I see fewer of them that the Ring-Billed and the Herring Gulls. This one just happened to pose every so nicely on a day at Bodega Bay, and I couldn't resist. It's like Snowy Egrets. If they're going to just sit there, I'm going to take another 30 shots, give or take.
I'm done with scheduled quarterly optometrist, doctor and semi-annual dentists for a few weeks (just comes with the territory), so I should be quicker with comments. And after I get the bill for a crown (I think it came from the Tower of London), I'll have no choice but to do something cheap, like walk to my birds rather than drive, and give up on my Friday gourmet lunches at the Black Bear Diner (turkey club uis pretty good).
So now, onto commenting on your photos from the last four days (Thanksgiving called for three trips to Sacramento which, thanks to the influx of people from all over the place, now takes three hours instead of the usual 1 hour and 15 minutes. I have excuses for all kinds of procrastination, but I think that procrastination is an activity in itself, and it takes so much planning!)
Ah, I see my camera is off by five days on the dates again. This should read early last week. Yesterday, I was paying my dentist's kids tuition.
