Fanatical …
comment on Flickr … about film that is :-) The Odeon Cinema in Richmond sports a typical late Modernist/Art Deco architecture. Designed by Leathert and Granger, it opened in 1930 as the Richmond Kinema.

King of Bushy Park …
comment on Flickr … his Majesty had a rather busy morning. His harem was neatly surrounded by no less than eight very enterprising younger stags. He kept them at bay just by his menacing poses and yelling at the occasional wayward hind. But his rivals were wearing him down, staging mock fights among themselves to demonstrate how fit and ready they were. I left before first blood was drawn, but it was only a matter of time.

Second test of a new toy …
comment on Flickr … the XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS is quite something. Although getting the light right while moving through different wide focals is far from self evident. I lost some of the Summer clouds texture for instance. Another issue with the XT-4, although not specific to this lens, is that I still haven’t discovered the proper hardware/software combo to get at the RAW files. Their format is different from the XT-3 and X100F. That would have helped a lot with those clouds. The loss of texture is mostly an artefact of compression. xt4,summer,foliage,pond,reflection,landscape,uk,nw3,london,hampstead,hampsteadheath,viaductpond,dscf0128 CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

Kenwood House on a bright Winter day …
comment on Flickr … home of William Murray, first Earl of Mansfield, who as Lord Chief Justice, first ruled that slavery had no basis in English common law. It took another 60 years for slavery to be finally abolished in Britain (1833). park,uk,building,london,architecture,mansion,hampstead,hampsteadheath,kenwoodhouse,neoclassical,nw3,robertadam,lordmansfield,x100f,img1434 CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

Traianus does Londinium …
comment on Flickr … this bronze likeness dates back to the early Twentieth Century and was erected in 1980. Old Trajan himself is not known to have ever visited his province of Britannia, much less the prosperous city of Londinium. But he might as well, since we know next to nothing about his life. Although it has been reported he wrote an autobiography, much like Augustus and Claudius, his work if it ever existed has been lost since the Middle Ages. Vexillationes from the legions based in Britannia as well as British based Batavian auxiliary cohorts took part in his campaigns in Dacia and Parthia, so he may have come to raise them himself, who knows… As for the London Wall in the background, only the base stone and brick work dates back to Roman times. It was erected in the late Second Century CE, long after Trajan was gone. In his times, city walls were not deemed necessary.

Antoninus – Man of Vision …
comment on Flickr … such a shame we know so very little about Antoninus, a leader so skilful and successful that emperors would still try to associate themselves to his ‘dynasty’ – he had no surviving children of his own – over a century after his death, while his contemporaries gave him the honorary name of Pius, a much more powerful term in Latin than its English translation, and promptly deified him and his wife Faustina both.

Old Julius Himself …
comment on Flickr … or more accurately Gaius of the Julii. His chin and forehead betray him :-) Doesn’t look much like Ciaran Hinds, sorry HBO. This very damaged marble portrait – this is not his best profile, this is his *only* profile – was excavated in the nineteenth century from the sanctuary of Athena Polias in Priene, now in Turkey. It was found with an – also damaged – bust of Claudius and was probably sculpted around 50 CE.

Julia Mamaea – skilful yet doomed Augusta …
comment on Flickr … upon assuming the regency of the Roman state on behalf of her 14 year old son Severus Alexander, she embarked into a last ditch effort to restore a measure of civilian order and control to what had become a very dysfunctional military dictatorship. It appeared to work for a while, before it all came undone in a military coup at a Roman establishment along the Rhine in 235 CE. It probably was too late anyway, and her son was too young to provide a useful cover for the contemporary perception she was the wrong gender. It took over 50 years for the empire to somewhat recover.
