Wrapping up this series of 18 pictures about the European Hardcourt Bike Polo Championship (EHBPC) – Zaragoza 2015. All the images published so far have been properly arranged in the album flic.kr/s/aHskmdhZ8N

This is a series of 18 pictures about the European Hardcourt Bike Polo Championship (EHBPC) – Zaragoza 2015. I took these picts during the Octopussy-Birds and Octopussy-Megadrive matches (Semifinals, Final). I resorted to Silver Effex Pro, heavily resorting to U-points, mostly sticking to a uniform, retro style trying to focus on the toughness of the game, the clubs, the ball, the bikes, the players. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I've enjoyed working on them.

In 1909 by Edward Francis Searles started to build a castle is a 1/4 replica of the Stanton Harcourt Castle in Oxfordshire, England. It was designed by Henry Vaughan and build of local granite and fieldstone. At the time it was built it cost over a million dollars. It was finished around 1915.

EF Searles was an amazing man. He built the castle using local resources and labor, and when WW1 broke out and then the Great Depression, he continued to build. He built a local a church and hundreds of miles of walls and small bridges and dams using the local men who were out of work and needed to feed their families during these hard times. History records little of what he did for the people of the area in books, but the people of Windham tell stories of how he employed their grandfathers and great-grandfathers to build stone and wooded walls to nowhere and payed them a more than average good living wage to do so, so they could feed their extended families at a time when families where dying of hunger on the streets on the America for lack of a job. He truly is a unsung hero of this country.

 

Today the castle is used for weddings and other celebrations.

This is not a normal post for me but I have been away from Flickr for awhile, as I was in Granby Quebec watching my grandson Brayden Schnur an ATP player in action on the court.

This is a blend of images taken with a 55-300mm Nikon zoom and a Helios-40-2 f1.5 manual lens. The exif has elected to reveal the latter for overall focal information - which is basically bu**er-all, so please just view it as a sandwich with all the ingredients squashed up flat, and the plastic wrapper thrown away :-))
