Two Large Forms by Henry Moore, Grange Park, Toronto. The Frank Gehry extension to the Art Gallery of Ontario is in the background on the left.
Two of my five favorite hikes are seen here.
I'm standing on a bridge over the Virgin River, looking directly at Angels Landing, which is certainly one of the most famous hikes in the world.
My history with Angels Landing goes back to 1975, when my first attempt at reaching the summit ended in failure when I chickened out less than 1/2 mile from the top... I was so scared my legs turned to jelly and I could not continue in either direction for a few minutes. My first completed hike was in 1977, and I've done it four or five times since, most recently in 2007. That, I'm afraid, will remain my final time on this thrilling hike.
See here www.nps.gov/zion/learn/photosmultimedia/angels-landing-eh... to get an idea from the NPS what this hike is like, plus some other nice Zion photos.
An even more rewarding hike for me at this time is Observation Point, which is the high-point in the background to the right of Angels Landing. At the end, you tower 1000' feet above Angels Landing, with superior views both up and down Zion Canyon. Photo 3 in the slide show linked above shows the view from Observation Point. Not quite as death-defying as Angels Landing, but a longer, more varied and less crowded hike that's still quite challenging in spots.
This visit, however, was just a quick day trip to Zion that got me no closer to these trails than this photo.
Two Foden OG lorries at Astle Park, not a great photo but I thought it was worth sharing.

On the right is MAU 840, a 1950 OG tipper in the livery of British Road Services.
This is a composite of the inside of two cathedrals in Barcelona. One is the gothic Cathedral of Barcelona and the other is the post gothic Sagrada Família designed by Antoni Gaudi. The two edifices could not be more different. The only thing they have in common is they are Roman Catholic. Read more on the blog: www.justenoughfocus.com/two-cathedrals/

Here it is in all its glory! This is my collection of outfit designs inspired by one of my favorite albums ever, Prism! I designed an outfit for every official track. I'm super happy with this whole collection and hope to get around to making all of these outfits for a huge photo shoot! I really hope you like my designs! Please comment what you think of them and which ones you really want me to make first! Thank You!!
Yin & Yang are an obvious inspiration for this look. The song is about fighting and i think the dress looks as though its fighting with itself in a way like the black and the white are vying to be the dress and not share, but you need both for the design to be complete.

Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
Size comparison between my Leica CL and FED-2. The height is about the same but the CL isn't as wide. The CL has a Industar-61 LD using a M39 to M mount adapter. The FED is using an older Industar-26M lens with an aftermarket lens hood.
At the former dog park, while Jewel tries to stand on her head (not successful), Lela watches some action off to the left. The people in the background were walking a dog.
Two colors adorn these two Amtrak units, which just blew for a crossing where the engineer quilled the horn, making 2 distinct sounds as the train leaves one Southern main for another Southern main from the Track 2 side of the Piedmont.

Building the Mansion c1855-73
William LeighThe purchaser of the Woodchester Estate was William Leigh, a wealthy recent convert to Roman Catholicism. He paid £170,000 for the property in 1845. In 1815, at the age of 13, he had inherited £100,000 and the Roby Hall estate at Huyton, near Liverpool, from his father. Leigh senior was a successful merchant trading in salt, tobacco and foodstuffs in and out of the port of Liverpool. William Leigh was born in Liverpool in 1802 and educated at Eton and Brasenose College, Oxford. He settled at Little Aston Hall in Staffordshire following his marriage to Caroline Cotterell in 1828. After his reception into the Roman Church at Leamington in 1844 he moved to Gloucestershire with the aim of creating a Catholic community in the area. A zealous convert, his first action was to start building a Catholic church and monastery at South Woodchester, adjacent to the eastern end of his estate.
In January 1846 Leigh asked the pre-eminent Victorian architect A.W.N. Pugin to survey the existing Spring Park Mansion, presumably with a view to Pugin improving the house for William and his wife, son and two daughters. Pugin visited Woodchester and condemned the existing building, saying “... a more hopeless case of repairs I never saw.” He recommended starting anew, and sent Leigh an estimate of £7118 and a design for a new house. Later that year Pugin drew up plans for the church and monastery at Woodchester for Leigh, but resigned from the commission in August 1846. Leigh then turned to the Bristol based Catholic architect Charles Hansom to build the church and monastery. The former, the Church of the Annunciation, was completed in 1849 and the latter in 1853. Meanwhile, the Leighs lived in an extended gardener’s cottage on the south side of the valley towards Nympsfield, known as “The Cottage”, which remained the family home until the First World War. Leigh’s contribution to the growth of Catholicism in Victorian England was significant and Woodchester was central to this expansion.
