These series of photos were taken 28 Sept 2023, the day before the official opening of the fair. People were busy making final adjustments to rides, checking electrics, stock of foods, drinks, gifts and so on.
The Nottingham Goose Fair is an annual travelling funfair held at the Forest Recreation Ground here in Nottingham. This year, 2023, it runs for 10 days, usually it's 3 days.

The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.

"Inclusiveness is key! This was spectacular.
A visually impaired wrestler competing in a main stream championship wrestling tournament. Arron, from Portlaoise Combat Academy Vs Peyton from Mohawk Valley Wrestling Club NY. One of the wrestlers was visually impaired, so to even out abilities, both wrestlers were blind folded.
Well done to Referee John for his experienced approach to this bout.
Great sportsmanship & wrestling from both."

A visually stunning decorative map of the world dating to 1852, by French map publisher Victor Levasseur. Levasseur depicts the world on a Mercator Projection, showing the six known continents as well as traces of Antarctica. The cartographic style of this piece is minimalist, but a few elements do bear special note. These include the extension of Oregon territory well into British Columbia, reflecting the American claims that later led to the 54 40' dispute. Also in North America, Texas is identified as an independent nation. Far to the north both the Northwest Passage over America and the Northeast Passage over Europe and Asia, are drawn as open and practically navigable waterways. By far this map's most striking feature is its elaborate allegorical border work. Levasseur composed this map for publication in his magnificent Atlas Nacionale de la France Illustree , one of the most decorative and beautifully produced atlases to appear in the 19th century. This particular map is surrounded by four medallions bearing allegorical representation of each season. Spring, in the upper left, is represented by a young unclothed woman modestly covering herself with garlands. Summer, in the lower right, is a powerful bearded man wearing an animal skin and surrounded by the bounty of life. Fall, upper right, is a young man reaping the harvest. And winter, lower left, is a huddled old woman in a barren snow covered setting. Atop the map is an image of the firmament, with shooting starts, clouds, and a symbolic representation of the Zodiac. At center is a curious unclothed women with four breasts who appears to be chained to the earth or to a heavy box which she is holding - Pandora? Adam and Eve appear to her right walking hand in hand through pre-fall Eden. There too is the serpent, slithering just behind the couple. At the base of the map an even more interesting scene unfolds in the form of a curious panorama. Here Jesus sits enthroned, bearing a cross in his left hand and pointing with his right, his head surrounded by a pyramid (a Masonic reference?). To his left are a stoic crowd including Napoleon, Socrates, and other unidentifiable great men bearing signs reading Paix (peace), Liber (freedom), and Egalite (equality). Behind them is a domed building that appears to be a Greek or Roman temple. Opposite this scene, on Jesus' right is a very different scene showing a crowd fleeing in terror - these include a Pharisee holding the Torah and a turbaned Saracen. Behind them are the pyramids of Egypt. They are running towards what appears to be the jungle in the midst of which is a plinth upon which sets a bust of Satan. In this we can only assume that Levasseur is attempting to convey the righteousness of reason and logic over emotion and old world superstition. Publised by V. Levasseur as page no. 95 in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.
Visually impaired students from Clara Barton Elementary School in Anaheim recently toured the campus and got the opportunity to get close to some of the campus’ sculptures. The “Double Scoop Ice Cream Cone” sculpture, located at the Visual Arts Center complex, literally became a hands-on experience. Their teacher, 1995 Cal State Fullerton graduate Keith Christian, left, brought them to campus to expose them to the educational and rehabilitation programs and services available on campus.

West Kelowna is a visually stunning community and a four-seasons playground, located on the western shores and hillsides of Okanagan Lake.
The Westside (as the locals like to call it) has always been appreciated for its quiet beaches, rolling hills of orchards, and fantastic outdoor activities.
West Kelowna has a diverse economy, which includes agriculture, construction, finance, food and retail services, light industry, lumber manufacturing, technology, tourism and world renowned wineries.
The Kelowna Bridge over Okanagan Lake
The building of the original Kelowna bridge was one of the most important milestones in the history of Kelowna not only for it's economic development, but also for a vital social link, by opening transportation to the South Okanagan and beyond.
Built in 1958, the Okanagan Lake Bridge was also referred to as the Kelowna Floating Bridge. The bridge served as a major landmark and a primary north-south highway corridor in the province of BC, and an important link from the Pacific Northwest United States to British Columbia and north on to Alaska.
The bridge itself was a pontoon bridge, or floating bridge that contained a vertical lift span which could open up to allow boats to pass under it.
Pontoons would support the bridge deck floating on the water. According to history, floating bridges have been around since the 11th century .
Historically, from the mid 1880's to the mid 1930's, Sternwheelers such as the SS Okanagan and the SS York provided transportation to people and goods down and across Okanagan Lake. From the mid-30's, until the original Kelowna bridge was built, ferries would carry vehicles across Okanagan Lake from Kelowna to Westbank, BC, now known as West Kelowna.

Ever come upon autumn leaves that just make noise? I don't mean the poetic "rustle" of fall leaves! I mean rude, yelling, vocal, aggresive leaves that want your attention..... NOW!
Meet the "Rude Group".... I may never go near that tree again. It was very embarrassing... sigh!

The visually pleasing but aurally disappointing 749264 at Praha Hlavni on the Cyklo Brdy Breznice turn, Sunday 29th April 2018. Rumour has it that CD are planning to remove the silencer from this loco, which would be nice if they could accomplish that this summer.

The most visually striking feature on Saturn’s icy moon Tethys is Odysseus crater. An enormous impact created the crater, which is about 280 miles (450 kilometers) across, with its ring of steep cliffs and the mountains that rise at its center. Odysseus is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across). In this image, north on Tethys is up.
This view is a composite of several images taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 17, 2015, at a distance of about 28,000 miles (44,500 kilometers) from Tethys.
The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.
The most visually creative garnish came in from Captain Damien Walsh in his red pepper fire.
Rickard's first ever Griller of Glory competition, an Iron Chef style grilling contest held yesterday in Yonge-Dundas Square.
First up were the backyard grillers competing for the title and then the Firemen took to the grills raising $1000 for the Ontario Association of Food Banks.
I was joined by Mirella Amato, Councillor Kyle Ray, and Phil Nyman on the judging panel and I don't know about anyone else... but we had a great time.
Everyone turned out excellent plates but after much deliberation, tasting and consideration the winners were:
- Bob Jenkins
- Captain Paul Beams.

Inside Salisbury Cathedral everything was so visually beautiful and awe inspiring!! Even, and maybe especially the arched ceilings. The diamond shaped sign on the left says "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength".
The present construction was begun in 1986 and continues today with work to repair and conserve the masonry and glazing of the Cathedral. The present Long Term Plan is projecting a completion in 2015 when the exterior elements of the Repair Programme will be totally finished.
Salisbury Cathedral was built in just 38 years (AD1220-1258). It has Britain's tallest spire (123m/404ft) which was built between AD1310-1333 adding another 6,500 tons to the 518 tons already there (the lead roof alone weighed 420 tons). The spire now leans 69.85cm (27.5ins) to the south and 44.44cm (17.5ins) to the west. Salisbury Cathedral has Europe's oldest working clock (AD1386), now situated in the north nave aisle.
There are 67 statues on the West Front. A dead rat which carried traces of arsenic was found inside the skull of William Longespée when his tomb was opened centuries later
Weakened by his defeat by the French in 1214 and keen to avoid a civil war he feared losing, King John met the barons at Runnymede (between Windsor and Staines in Southern England) on 15 June 1215 and agreed the terms of the document now known as Magna Carta. Its content, driven by the concerns of barons and church, was designed to re-balance power between the King and his subjects. When King John set his seal on Magna Carta he conceded the fundamental principle that even as king he was not above the law.
Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter") 1215 is one of the most celebrated documents in English history. At the time it was the solution to a political crisis in Medieval England but its importance has endured as it has become recognised as a cornerstone of liberty influencing much of the civilized world.
A visit to view the best preserved original Magna Carta in the Chapter House is for many visitors the highlight of their time at Salisbury Cathedral.
Magna Carta contains 63 clauses written in Latin on parchment. Only three of the original clauses in Magna Carta are still law today. One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns, but the third is the most famous:
'No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled. Nor will we proceed with force against him except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.'

The exhibition was opened today, 4 April 2008, by the Lord Mayor of Leicester at the Richard Attenborough Centre on Lancaster Road, Leicester. There's a whole corridor of fantastic work on display, so do visit if you can. The RAC is open weekdays during normal office hours and also occasionally for evening events. See www.le.ac.uk/racentre/
