Sadly not a patch on previous times I've been. Visually less of everything across the board. It's clear reenactors, stall holders, vintage vehicles etc., have given it a miss in advance.
The event organisers [Pike and Shot] say 80% of the groups let them down. Cant blame the groups for the mass exodus. You're the organisers, they have supported this event for over 10 years. The fault is on your doorstep.
I was watching and listening to the fella firing up the Rolls Royce engine. He was furious to put it mildly (as seen in my video). He received a call to start it earlier than scheduled. He had to! He did with reluctance and was subsequently drowning out the singers nearby. When he challenged the staff about it they were not so sympathetic. Awful for him. To his credit he apologised to the small crowd of what happened that he was instructed to start the engine early. So for me, this was a live example of the organisers causing unrest as the event unfolded.
Having been to several 1940s events this year, this was the bottom of the pile. When I spoke with quite a few visitors and stall holders etc., they were expecting so much more, as in the past.
Singer: Miss Trixie Holiday
The other singer, not in this video, was Ricky Hunter. Decided not to include him in my video because he spent way too much time looking at his phone, playlist, drinking water, while singing, rather than entertain the crowd. He was a last minute guest singer anyway. He had not been invited for over 5 years.
Entrance fee was £10! (reduced to £4 very late on into the second day). No concessions. No signposting to the event. No map or itinerary. Limited parking. A bare bones event. Purely the fault of the organisers and Rufford Abbey Estate collectively.

Visually a descendent of the SP1 Striker, but sized more like the Galactic Peacekeeper.
I'm still not totally sure about that cagelike take on the prisoner transport pod, but it mostly works.
And I actually managed semi-retractable undercarriage.

Gomphrena globosa, commonly known as globe amaranth, is an edible plant from the family Amaranthaceae. The round-shaped flower inflorescences are a visually dominant feature and cultivars have been propagated to exhibit shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. Within the flowerheads, the true flowers are small and inconspicuous.
Gomphrena globosa is native to Central America including regions Panama, and Guatemala, but is now grown globally. As a tropical annual plant, G. globosa blooms continuously throughout summer and early fall. It is very heat tolerant and fairly drought resistant, but grows best in full sun and regular moisture. The plant fixes carbon through the C4 pathway. At maturity, the flowerheads are approximately 4 centimetres (1.6 in) long and the plant grows up to 24 inches (61 cm) in height.
Gomphrena globosa is an outcrossing species that is pollinated by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Floral volatiles likely play a significant role in the reproductive success of the plant by promoting the attraction of pollinators.
Uses
In Hawaii, it is commonly used in long-lasting leis since it retains its shape and color after drying.
In Nepal, the flower is known commonly as makhamali ful and is used to make a garland during Bhai Tika, last day of Tihar festival. The garland is put around the brother's neck by their sister for protection. The slow withering character of the flower symbolizes a long life for the brother. The flower was included in the gift sent to Britain by Jung Bahadur Rana in 1855. This flower is known as Rakta Mallika in Sanskrit.
This plant is common in landscape design and cutting gardens for its vivid colors and color retention.
The edible plant G. globosa has been used in herbal medicine.
The flowers of G. globosa are rich in betacyanins which have a wide range of applications as additives and supplements in the food industry, cosmetics, and livestock feed. Stable between pH 3 and 7, the betacyanins in globe amaranth are well suited to be used as natural food dye and have a red-violet color.
Chemical properties
Phytochemicals
At least twenty-seven phytochemicals have been detected in G. globosa including six phenolic acid derivatives and fifteen specific flavonoids. The most abundant phenolic compounds present are flavonoids. A major phenol was found to be kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside based on chromatographic and mass spectrometry techniques. Gomphrenol derivatives also contribute to phenolic content. Other flavanols include quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin derivatives.
Betacyanins
The major betacyanins identified in globe amaranth are gomphrenin, isogomphrenin II, and isogomphrenin III. These compounds are stored in vacuoles in the plant.
Volatiles
Cultivars of G. globosa vary in the identity of floral volatiles but the volatile compounds of nonanal, decanal, geranyl acetone, and 4,8,12-tetradecatrienal, 5,9,13-trimethyl, were commonly detected by chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The cultivar ‘Fireworks’ has a high abundance of volatile esters such as geranyl propionate, geranyl isovalerate, benzyl isovalerate, and benzyl tiglate. The floral volatile emission of this cultivar of G. globosa was found to exhibit a diurnal pattern independent of light. Emission of floral volatiles can be regulated by phytohormone and defense signaling molecules. Experimentally, the ethylene inhibitor silver thiosulphate increased volatile emission of molecules derived from the terpenoid pathway. Defense signaling molecules can have temporal effects on floral volatile emission such as increased emission after four hours and reduced emission of volatiles after 24 hours in time studies analyzed with chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Tomorrow is 15th October, which is White Cane Safety Day. "The mission of White Cane Day is to educate the world about blindness and how the blind and visually impaired can live and work independently while giving back to their communities, to celebrate the abilities and successes achieved by blind people in a sighted world and to honor the many contributions being made by the blind and visually impaired. " (www.whitecaneday.org)
When you lose your sight, white cane becomes a big part of your life. It offers you independence and enables you to travel safely. While it looks simple, the white cane is actually quite a sophisticated tool. Firstly, it enables you to feel what's in front of you when you walk. Secondly, it alerts you to a change in the ground surface with sound (the tip of the cane makes different sounds when you drag it across different kinds of surfaces). Thirdly, it lets the people around you know that you're blind or partially sighted.
However, instead of embracing the chance of independence and safety offered by the white cane, many blind or visually impaired people feel embarrassed and refuse to use it. They prefer to rely on other people's help to get around. That is so unnecessary. White cane is a wonderful tool that gives you back some of the independence you had before losing sight.
And, finally, here's some information on my new white cane that you can see on the photo. I got it a few days ago and it's great! It's a folding cane, it folds into 4 parts (three parts are white and one is red). The handle is made of black rubber, which offers a very good and solid grip. The cane has a marshmallow tip, which spins around, offering good tactile and audio information about the ground surface. The tip is made of a sturdy material, which doesn't wear out easily, but can easily be replaced when it does. The cane itself is made of aluminum, which means that it is sturdy and light. A tough elastic connects the cane parts inside the cane. This means that I just have to grab the handle and let the rest of the cane "drop down" and the elastic makes the parts "jump" together and connect instantly so that the cane can be used immediately.
So, to sum things up:
If you suffer from sight loss or blindness, don't hesitate to talk to your doctor about the possibility of getting a white cane! You might have to go through a mobility training to learn to use the white cane correctly first, but after that you will be able to move around independently and safely. And that's the most important thing!

Visually inspired by the techniques of scratching or rubbing initiated by the Surrealists (such as Max Ernst), the "Fibergraphy" is a technique to transcribe volumes with the same tool (the laser) across great distances.
Mixed with several LP techniques, the result is a confusion of distances and volumes; a reinterpretation of the space bringing these on a single plane blurring the perception of existing visual cues.

Visually, the Cutlass most resembles the F/A-137D Longsword interceptor, used by the West Terrastralian Air Force (WTAF). Unlike its Air Force counterpart however, the Cutlass features folding wings, strengthened landing gear and an arrester hook. These modifications come at a cost, however; the Cutlass was forced to sacrifice one of is weapon hardpoints to save weight. Nevertheless, those that fly it have only praise to direct towards their mount.
I'd never intended to post these photos. 'Always wanted the Zeppelin print to just stand on it's own as a mysterious little pinhole "gem".
However,
Nine months ago while I was in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy and my stem cell transplant, 3 stooges set out to diss and debunk the Zeppelin image as not a pinhole image but, photoshopped (ugh). So, now in my defense (like, I should even have to...)
The location: Denver Public Works Building. I was attracted to this building from it's original construction. With it's German industrial look and saluting stormtroopers sculpture on the bridge, it seemed only right to have some form of airship in the image. I'd originally thought of an Albatros DIII (german biplane) or an Me-262 (german jet) but always fancied dirigibles.
The Zeppelin: LZ 129 Hindenburg 1:720 scale (about 13 inches or 33cm long) Revell 04802
The Boom (to suspend the zeppelin): Made of wood strips, angle aluminum, hardware, monofilament and mounted on a tripod.
The Camera: Polaroid pinhole conversion. 35mm focal length with 9mm rise. I converted this camera specifically for this project. Can be seen here.
Film: Polaroid Type 665 positive/negative.
Other notes: I had to pack everything in on my bike as the location was accessible by bike path only.
Total time and expense to final neg.: I'd rather not think about it.

By the way, not one of them have a single pinhole image in their photostream.

Doesn't anyone want to know how he shot this in 2006? Zeppelins like this no longer exist and have not existed in this form in 69 years! Also judging by the size of the "Zeppelin" in the shot it appears to be over the river. Where's the reflection in the water? Come on people, this is obviously Photoshop'd.

Airships Pro User says:
Sorry to spoil anyone's fun, but this is not a pinhole photograph taken in 2006, or any photograph taken in 2006.
The airship in this image looks nothing at all like a modern blimp. According to the shape of its hull, its size, and the location and design of its control gondola and engine cars, if this is a real airship at all (as opposed to a model or a computer generated image) it can only be one of two airships ever built, either the LZ-129 Hindenburg, or its near sister, the LZ-130 Graf Zeppelin II (and in either case, with the swastika flags digitally removed from the vertical stabilzers). The Hindenburg crashed in 1937, and the LZ-130 was dismantled in 1940.
It is still a very cool image, and I like it a lot, but it was made with Photoshop, not an oatmeal box.

www.modern-airships.info/en/home.html The blimp is moving since it is a pinhole camera image. Probally a several second exposure. I see several ships posted that look similar in the link i posted. I hope the photographer chimes in on the discussion. I see nothing fake.

@ Gary:
This photo is almost certainly a fake.
Unless the photographer somehow came across a very large,
historically accurate, and flyable remote-control model (and I believe
I would be aware of any such model in existence), this is not a
pinhole photograph, but a digitally (or otherwise artificially)
contrived creation, using a photograph of the LZ-129 Hindenburg or its near sister ship, LZ-130. The zeppelin in this image can be no other ship.
Take a look for yourself.
Enlarge the photo. (Click "All Sizes").
And here is a photograph, and a drawing, of Hindenburg for comparison:
www.airships.net/wp-content/uploads/lz129-pro file.jpg
www.airships.net/wp-content/uploads/hindenb-f light051web.jpg
LZ-129
Now, look slightly to the left of the control car in the "pinhole photo." On both sides of the hull; you will see the "ledge" that was the promenade area on "A Deck" of the Hindenburg.
www.airships.net/wp-content/uploads/passenger s-arriving-1...
www.airships.net/hindenburg/interiors
Next, look a little father aft; you will see the four engine cars of the Hindenburg, two on either side of the hull.
www.airships.net/hindenburg/design-tec hnology)
Compare the engine cars in the "pinhole photo" to the engine cars in the photo and drawing of Hindenburg.
You said that you see blimps which look similar in the link you posted, but no modern airship (and none of the airships depicted in the link you posted) have external engine cars, nor could they structurally support them.
Now, look at the whole hull; you will see lines running the length of the hull, from bow to stern, which were the longitudinal girders of Hindenburg's internal duralumin frame.
FInally, look at the stern, at the shape of the fins, and also compare the size of the fins to the overall size of the hull, to get a sense of the length of the ship; Hindenburg was four times longer than the largest modern blimp.
The zeppelin in the "pinhole photo" is either the LZ-129 (destroyed in 1937) or the LZ-130 (dismantled in 1940); it can be no other airship.
I still think this is a great image, and my congratulations to its creator; he has a great artistic sense, and some great technical skills.
But it's not a pinhole photo.

@ Airships
Thanks for making this clear that the photo was a Photoshop creation. It annoys me that so many people bought into this fake. Does anyone really believe that there's a giant Zeppelin flying around in Colorado or Nebraska? And with no visible name anywhere to be seen? Wouldn't the presence of this draw a crowd? The bridge is completely deserted. Check any photos of actual Zeppelins and there are people crowding the rooftops to get a look. Wake up everyone!

If a photographer claims to have photographed something, pinhole camera or otherwise, and it turns out to be a Photoshop creation, he should say so. Since these airships don't exist it goes without saying that this is a Photoshop creation.

Shinjuku, Tokyo, is a dynamic district that perfectly encapsulates the essence of modern Japan. This image showcases the vibrant energy of Shinjuku, a place where tradition meets innovation. The towering buildings, adorned with a plethora of colorful advertisements and neon lights, create a visually stimulating environment that is both captivating and overwhelming. The architecture in Shinjuku is a testament to Japan's rapid modernization, with sleek skyscrapers standing alongside older, more traditional structures. This juxtaposition highlights the district's historical significance and its role as a hub of contemporary culture.
Shinjuku is not just a commercial center; it is also steeped in history. The area has been a significant part of Tokyo since the Edo period, serving as a post town on the Koshu Kaido, one of the five routes of the Edo period. Today, Shinjuku Station is one of the busiest railway stations in the world, a testament to the district's enduring importance. The streets are lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues, offering something for everyone. From high-end department stores to quirky boutiques, Shinjuku is a shopper's paradise. Food enthusiasts can indulge in a wide range of culinary delights, from traditional Japanese cuisine to international fare. The district is also home to numerous entertainment options, including theaters, karaoke bars, and nightclubs.
Shinjuku's unique blend of history, culture, and modernity makes it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Tokyo. Whether you're interested in shopping, dining, or simply soaking in the urban atmosphere, Shinjuku offers an unparalleled experience that captures the essence of modern Japan.
Maybe slightly visually confusing at first, this fisheye shot of the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London includes in the foreground a mirror used by visitors to look at the ceiling without straining their necks.

Converted grain silo north of Aarhus:
Many towns in Denmark have centrally located industrial silos; most are no longer in use, but continue to visually dominate the local skyline. This is also the case in the town of Løgten north of Aarhus, where the former silo complex has been transformed into a 'rural high-rise', with 21 high-quality residences composed as individual and unique 'stacked villas'.
They are an alternative to standard apartments or to detached suburban sprawl, and are a mix of single storey flats and maisonettes, meaning that even the lower levels fully get to enjoy the views, and that no two flats are the same.
The actual silo contains staircases and lifts, and provides the base of a common roof terrace. Around the tower, the apartments are built up upon a steel structure in eye-catching forms which protrude out into the light and the landscape – a bit like Lego bricks.
This unusual structure with its protrusions and displacements provides all of the apartments with generous outdoor spaces, and views of Aarhus Bay and the city itself. Similarly, every apartment enjoys sunlight in the morning, mid-day and evening, whether placed to the north or south of the silo structure.
At the foot of the silo, a new ‘village centre’ is created, with a public space surrounded by a mix-use complex with shops, supermarket and terraced housing, and a green park containing small allotments for the residents.
The nature of the silo’s ‘rural high-rise’ remains unique – since it is a conversion, no other building in the area can be built to the same height, and it will remain a free-standing landmark. It is an example of how the transformation of redundant structures can hold the potential to both give a new identity, and introduce density to suburban outskirts.
The body of the silo is deliberately left visible on the side of the building facing the new centre, to ensure a continued legibility of the history of the site, and to acknowledge that these types of structures have an equal validity as rural historical markers as do for instance the church bell-tower or historic windmills.

(It was never my intention to turn this photostream into a showcase of my own architectural work, but I couldn't resist putting up a few of these)
I have always been interested in visual things and consider myself a visually orientated person. As a kid I draw a lot and later on my path led me into graphics design, which I learned without formal education (I'm sure that's actually a pretty common in these days, but I highly respect those who have had some sort of formal education to it, because they learn their craft in a broader cultural and societal perspectives). I’ve played with painting, 3D-modelling and so on. Naturally one would think that I would have gone into photography pretty early. I was, but there were more than one false start before I got seriously started with it which was pretty late. Most of my false starts were related to using real film and analog cameras, but there were other reasons too.
I still have couple of rolls of film in our fridge from the old days. Color films plus B&W stuff, which I don’t have much use for. Now when I look back I can recognize three different reasons why I didn't get it started with photography. First reason was the film. Being a youngster of digital age I didn't glue at all with analog cameras which seniors where trying to introduce me into. Film just didn't fit in into paradigm of digital which I had learned working with computers, software, files etc. And most of the early digital cameras I tried were compromised. With them I only learned what I cannot do, like try to take pictures indoors without built in flash. Photography felt pretty difficult and full of 'physical problems' which were non-existent in digital world. Second reason was that I never had many photography friends that I could share my experiences and enthusiasm. My interest in photography was hibernating until one of my close friends bought a pretty serious DSLR-camera. Together we learned to do panoramas, HDR-pictures and all sort of other experiments which guided me back into photography, but this time through a backdoor called post processing. Finally the third reason why I didn't start photography earlier was that I didn't recognize my need to photograph and capture life in its uniqueness. Only after Aura was born I realized that life was very much worth of photographing it.
I can live with the first two reasons, but the third is something I find myself sometimes regretting. In some ways we are just stories which we are able to tell of ourselves. There isn’t a lot of pictures of me and my life when I was younger. If I only had started earlier I would have all sort of photographs of my life – a different and larger repertoire which to use for telling a story of myself.

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.

Killearn sits by the western flank of the long volcanic chain of the Campsie Hills, and on this overcast day the clouds were frequently coming down to caress the summit line of the hills, which I always find dramatic and visually rather pleasing.
Series of provinces and peoples were a distinctively Roman way of representing their empire visually, and reflect a distinctively Roman and imperial mode of thought. Such images are most familiar to us in sculpture from the reliefs that decorated the temple of Hadrian in Rome, and on coins from the 'province' series of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. Recently, the discovery of such a series in relief at Aphrodisias, there called “ethne” (peoples), allows us for the first time to see what an early imperial group of this kind looked like. The ethne are each personified as single, standing, draped women, each well differentiated by drapery and pose, and some by attributes no doubt intended to characterize that ethnos. The ethne are stylistically homogeneous and among the best of the Sebasteion reliefs in quality, both as regards their finish and the assuredness of their form and design. The ethnos reliefs were carved from single blocks of marble, H: c. I72, W: I40, D: c. 42 cm.
Ethonos of the Piroustae Piroustae.
Relief. The personified ethnos stands frontally, weight on her right leg, head looking evenly three-quarters to her left, that is, in the same direction as the mask on the base. She wears a helmet, cloak and belted dress, and carries a small shield on her left arm. The shield band is shown below, on the underside of the forearm. The right hand was held away from her right side, carrying a spear or similar attribute. The shield is given its full three-dimensional value and is cut off at the background. Both helmet and shield are 'ideal' types, that is, they are recognizable versions of old classical Greek armor no longer worn in reality. The round shield is of diminished hoplite type. The helmet is of basic 'Corinthian' form, but worn, as usually by ideal figures in the Roman period, as if permanently pushed back from the face. The short element in relief above the front peak is a vestigial nose-piece of Corinthian type, while the crest is borrowed from the 'Attic' type.
Base. A bearded mask below supports the garland swags, looking towards the viewer's right in partial three-quarter view. It is of indeterminate ideal/divine iconography

This visually secretive thrush has eluded being photographed by me for years. audibly it isn''t at all shy. loud circular descending notes for a song are common along forested streams. Because the markings on the front are so distinctive I'm including this otherwise unremarkable photo because it shows the chest in decent detail. The accompanying photo shows the Veery unobstructed by branches but lacks the beautiful chest markings.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:00 AM, made it out driving by 7:38 AM and wentout until [forgot:estimating 12:38PM] for a total of about 4 hours, 25 minutes (because we spent ~35 minutes eating).
Spent $54.67 plus ~$8.53 gas for 46.7 miles of driving (15 mpg @ $2.74/G), for a total cost of $63.20.
We drove to 29 yard sales, stopping at 19 (66%) of them [but one was a 50-vendor boy scouts sale, so this count is deceptive].
We made 36 purchases (28 items) for a total estimated value of $436.61, leading to a profit/savings of $373.41.
So in essence, we multiplied our $63.20 investment by 6.9X.
(Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $~427 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $373 in cash that we saved. How long does $ of disposable income take to earn, vs the 4.41666 hrs we spent here?)
Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $84.55/hr asa couple or $40.27/hr per person.

Goal: To visually represent a sermon series about the different masks we put on when we face others.
Audience: Student ministry
Direction: I went in a different direction than traditional masks because I was having a hard time incorporating and uniting differing kinds of masks (gas mask, drama mask, etc) in a visually appealing way. I used photos of people because I though that represented more realistically the way we wear our masks - through fake smiles, through our clothes, makeup, etc.
Project: Student ministry sermon series
Other important info: My youth pastor chose to use a graphic with masks (as I was describing before) instead.
A day trip to the GCR Loughborough with the Long Buckby Blind and Visually Impaired group. Not many photo opportunities, and absolutely none in the sun! At the end of the day, I thought it would be rude not to have any railway related shots, so here is D5830 ahead of it`s train, which will be the last service to Leicester North. 20th August 2015. A bit of a mono HDR effect experiment.
Visually Oregon City often seems either too dark or too bright, e.g. here the new lights on the bridge made the river seem very dark, but photographically it balanced out very nicely. One of the fun things about doing a study series like this are the small things you only notice when you are reviewing the images, e.g. the wooden framing that's only on this one side of the bridge, and the three layers of shadows on the arch (see notes).

Very similar visually to the Northern Counties bodied Leyland Olympian in the previous posting is this Volvo variant here earning its keep as a PCV with Express Motors in Portmadoc. With nothing better to do on the Saturday of my stay, I took advantage of a 'Red Rover' ticket and travelled here and there at random between about 8.45am and 6.30pm ... I have to admit, I really quite enjoyed the day for the princely outlay of £6.80. (which might have been 40p more than the advertised price!). Here at the end of my wanderings and as grimness had set it, Express's N418 JBV calls opposite Porthmadog Parc to collect a handful of intending passengers for the Blaenau Ffestiniog direction.
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.

Visually, the Class 27 differed from the preceding Class 26 only in front-end details and, in later years, by the window-less cab doors fitted to the later. Only the Class 26 lasted long enough to carry the grey ‘large logo’ freight livery depicted here. Look closely and, if your eye is better than my photoshopping skills, you will notice that this is a digitally-modified Class 26. It was simply easier to start with a Class 26 in the desired livery than to completely re-livery a Class 27. The location is Oxenhope on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (27-Nov-21).

This is my favorite Snare drum. It is a copper drum with a beautiful tone and visually quite striking to look at. As with my other music instruments I used flame to hi-light it I used a small flashlight underneath to illuminate the top drum head to also capture the drumsticks sitting on top. I tried using various other lights to illuminate it but keep comming back to an open flame or the fiery look. The reflection on the copper shell was a bonus!
Sadly not a patch on previous times I've been. Visually less of everything across the board. It's clear reenactors, stall holders, vintage vehicles etc., have given it a miss in advance.
The event organisers [Pike and Shot] say 80% of the groups let them down. Cant blame the groups for the mass exodus. You're the organisers, they have supported this event for over 10 years. The fault is on your doorstep.
I was watching and listening to the fella firing up the Rolls Royce engine. He was furious to put it mildly (as seen in my video). He received a call to start it earlier than scheduled. He had to! He did with reluctance and was subsequently drowning out the singers nearby. When he challenged the staff about it they were not so sympathetic. Awful for him. To his credit he apologised to the small crowd of what happened that he was instructed to start the engine early. So for me, this was a live example of the organisers causing unrest as the event unfolded.
Having been to several 1940s events this year, this was the bottom of the pile. When I spoke with quite a few visitors and stall holders etc., they were expecting so much more, as in the past.
Singer: Miss Trixie Holiday
The other singer, not in this video, was Ricky Hunter. Decided not to include him in my video because he spent way too much time looking at his phone, playlist, drinking water, while singing, rather than entertain the crowd. He was a last minute guest singer anyway. He had not been invited for over 5 years.
Entrance fee was £10! (reduced to £4 very late on into the second day). No concessions. No signposting to the event. No map or itinerary. Limited parking. A bare bones event. Purely the fault of the organisers and Rufford Abbey Estate collectively.

visually striking war memorial dedicated to soldiers of the Portuguese army who died during the Overseas War of 1961 to 1974. The Monumento Combatentes Ultramar memorial comprises of three distinctive sections; the flame, the monument and memorial wall.
The central flame burns continuously to signify the lasting memory of the dead soldiers while the names of each solider who died in the protracted African conflict are etched into the the three walls that surround the memorial. The artistic section of the Monumento Combatentes Ultramar include a shallow purpose built lake and two large angled pillars that jut out above the flame.

Visitors at the new SFMOMA museum in San Francisco
The newly expanded and refurbished SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) reopened recently, and we had an opportunity to spend a day there during the week before the public opening. The new building is a success in our minds — full of interesting and sometimes surprising interior spaces, with new portals connecting it visually to the surrounding city, and beautiful galleries to display the work. (There are a few oddities — the space on the ground floor seems sort of sprawling and disorganized, but I digress...)
I always like photographing in museums, especially those with more modern architecture. The light and the angles of walls and entry ways are often fascinating, and people behave in ways that are much different from what I might see in other venues. I usually photograph quickly in these places, partly because I don't want to intrude on the experience of other visitors and partly because scenes and juxtapositions often assemble themselves and then disappear so quickly.

Zekia Musa is a 29-year-old visually impaired youth activist and peacebuilder who works with the South Sudanese Ministry of General Education and Instruction representing people with disabilities. Among her many activities, she also mentors disabled pupils at schools in the capital, Juba. According to the newly-founded National Union of Disabled People's Organizations, over a million people live with a disability in the country, notably as a result of poverty and decades of conflict. Launched in 2020, the Union brings together eight organizations including the South Sudan Women with Disabilities Network of which Zekia is an active member. While a 2015 law aims to protect the rights of persons with disabilities, social stigma and poor access to information has often confined them to the margins of society. “Often, our culture can impact the disabled negatively and I wanted to break the myths surrounding people like me. Disabled people are no ‘lesser’ than anybody who has complete use of all their faculties. As a citizen of South Sudan, I felt that it was my duty to speak up, speak out on behalf of disabled people.”
“Inequalities are rife across South Sudan. We have to have equal laws and equal justice for everybody. Disabled people need to be included in decisions that impact us directly. I advocate for our rights because I want to see us being included and heard in the future of our country.”

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.
