Royal Fort

You may not think that this little wooden model looks very sophisticated but it was made in the year 1615 as the architect's display for a building which became known as the Royal Fort. It is located in, what are now, the grounds of Bristol University, Bristol UK Copyright D.Maggs 2006

Mt.Teide, Tenerife

Snowdonia Railway

One of the little engines that pull the Snowdonia railway train up the mountain side of that name. These steam trains have been largly replaced by diesel engines now but they still run occasionally. This one was built in 1856 so, as you can see, it has lasted well. Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in England & Wales UK. Copyright D.Maggs 2006

The Glory of Gaudi

Here we have a shot of part of the unfinished Gaudi Cathederal in Barcelona. It has been in the process of being built since the late 1800s. Different people add bits here and there and the whole thing is a gorgeous mish mash that blends into something quite awe inspiring Copyright D.Maggs 2006

Another Unique Lalique

Here is another piece by Lalique. It is believed to be the only full sized glass font in the world. Perhaps I should explain. In 1934 Lady Florence Trent commissioned Rene Lalique of Paris, France to refurbish the interior of St Matthew's Church, Jersey, Channel Islands UK. This was in memory of her late husband Jesse Boot who was the founder of "Boots the Chemists" the well know drug store chain. The glasswork within the church is unique and consists of this font, all the windows (doors included), the altar, or communion table, a glass cross over 4 metres high flanked by glass pillars, also various screens and other glasswork.

Glass Church Jersey C.I.

Don't know if anyone is interested in Lalique glass but all the glass in this picture, cross, pillars, screens, even the altar, were designed and made by Rene Lalique of Paris. These, and other, items can be seen in a church called St Matthews in Jersey C.I. Copyright D.Maggs 2006
