I hesitate about posting shots of the interior - I'll have to wait an association - but this is from a website which suggests that some of it is even earlier.

"The earliest parts of this building date back to the mid-13th century - a time when there was relative peace on the Anglo-Scottish border and funds were available from the marriages of successive Washingtons to wealthy widows. Parts of it remain. The most obvious being the pointed arches at the west end of the Great Hall, which could have been part of a screen passage arrangement connecting the hall with the kitchens."

Ah.

Fascinating.

Gothic arches fused with a later Tudor building (again, at a time of relative domestic peace and increased prosperity).

 

[StrollerEd]

I'm going for a risky play, since others have not made a move, as consider this association with your mention of arches and building .. Here is an interior which illustrates what Georgie's [great-grandfather] gave up by leaving for the New World.

Clearly I did not do enough to compensate for the excess of light from the window and the shadow on the other side

I've experienced only one quake that I did not experience in 1978/79. I was living in Jerusalem and was walking to school when it hit. It was so mild that only people in buildings felt it.
Mrs. Diver went to undergraduate and graduate school in Cincinnati. She got home from class one day and turned on the TV. An earthquake hit at precisely the moment she pressed the button. She felt very empowered in that moment.

Earthquakes are rare where I live. There have been something like a dozen in the past 20 years, and every time there has been one, I've been in the car. There must be some cosmic significance to that, but I can't think what it could be.

Once, I walked up the stairs at a client's office, and they were all atwitter, talking about how 'the Earth moved'. I laughed and had no clue what they were talking about. 'You didn't feel it?' Feel what? 'The earthquake!' Um, no. Their building was an old building built in the 40's or 50's, and it always kinda vibrated due to the numerous A/C units all over it. I could see the doors slowly swing about an inch at night. That building always scared the hell out of me. The elevator was something I avoided. People were stuck on it once, for almost 6 hours as the company tried to find someone who knew how it worked so they could fix it. Seriously... The fire department finally got them out.

But that Washington State earthquake sure was an event for this kid...

The Midwest has never been a hotbed of seismic activity.

if you don't have a bridge and need to cross - this is your solution (Faehre = ferry)

 

[Captain Trips]

Speaking of signs... who knew London was only 12 miles from Columbus?

 

[oblomow]

damn. too late. replaced my ferry with a sign

 

[Captain Trips]

damn. too late.

That is a good picture. Maybe it is the ferry to London?

Oh well, this thread will come back around to water or ships before too long.

It's a CalMac ferry to one of the outer Hebrides.

I've seen that sign too when on a diving trip. A society run by the 'Wee Frees'

What I thought was a hoot was the cod pieces. Yeah, even back then, the males of the species had an inflated opinion of their 'junk'.

 

[Captain Trips]

Did someone mention something about getting your arse chewed off (of a bunny)?

[Edit: changed "are" to "arse"]
