Contributions of the group Natural symmetry... or not

HFF ~ Land of the Prince Bishops

nobody@ipernity.com (Herb Riddle) — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 06:11:36 +0000

Just beyond the palace gateway (PiP) we come to the main features of this most wonderful place.
Here we have the grand entrance into the main forecourt and grounds of this 800 year Auckland Castle serving as the Bishops Palace.
You see the 1790’s symmetrical screen wall featuring decorative corner turrets, crenulations, and pointed arched gateways with iron gates.
See second PiP for a view through the fence.

Enjoy the weekend.

Base to probe: are you ready for take-off?
We're strapped in and set to go, base.
We're starting the countdown now. 10-9-8. . .
Ah, base? Question.
What is it Carl? 7-6. . .
Well, I'm looking up, and, uh, well, I don't think the roof is open.
5-4. . What? Not open? That's impossible! You'll crash and be incinerated!
Roger that, Mr. Obvious. Can you open it please?
3-2. . . Right away, Carl. Don't worry. Just gotta find the remote.
1.0. . .
Those things get lost all the time, don't they?
Ha Ha! Tell me about it, Carl.
Carl? Hello?

You really got into that sermon, didn't you Clem? You hardly stayed in your seat.
Marv! It was Bernice! I swear she was in there!
Impossible. She took off ages ago. Where was she sitting?
Not sitting! Flyin' around! Like an angel! I could almost reach out and grab her!
Dude. You hallucinating again?
No way. Next time I'll be prepared to counter the forces of gravity.
How's that?
Only one way my man: better dope.
That's it?
On my budget, yeah.

Doppelte Aussicht.

Happy Bench Monday !

Vom Eingangsbereich des Gebäudes an der Ostseite führt eine 82 Meter lange, gebogene Rolltreppe aufwärts durch den Speicher. Die Fahrt durch die sogenannte 'Tube' führt die Besucher direkt zu einem Panoramafenster im 6. Obergeschoss. Von dort gelangt man über eine zweite, kurze Rolltreppe auf die Plaza im 8. OG. Man befindet sich nun in 37 m Höhe und gelangt von hier auf die rundumlaufende Aussichsterrasse. Dieser Bereich ist kostenfrei.

Einkaufspassage "Galleria", Grosse Bleichen.

Die im Juni 2014 eröffnete, in schwarz-weissem Marmor gehaltene Einkaufspassage stammt vom Schweizer Designer- und Architekten-Ehepaar Haussmann. Inspiriert wurden sie von den Einkaufspassagen des 19. Jahrhunderts in Paris.
Die Passage verbindet die Grosse Bleichen und den Bleichenfleet und wurde vom renommierten Design-Magazin "Wallpaper" ausgezeichnet.

Slave! I need you!
Yes, lord Ba'al.
I'm expanding my used car business.
You mean it's doing well? Amazing! I mean, I'm delighted to hear it!
It sucks, you idiot! I need more exposure!
What is your plan, sire?
I'm turning this palace into a used car lot!
Here? In this pristine edifice?
Yes! It's perfect! I'll have to beat my disciples off with a stick! I'll move tons of units!
But it's such an historic icon!
Not anymore! Eminem.says they're used to that kind of desecration around here.
You know Eminem?
Taught him everything he knows! Now leave me. I'm feeling kind of, I dunno, spiritual.
That's a new one. And Eminem? No way.
Where are my virgins! Get 'em out here!

What time's the next shuttle to Arcturus?
You just missed it. Next one's in a week.
A week! I can't wait that long!
Sorry, bud.
I gotta get off this rock! Way too much hostility! What else you got?
Just one tonight, the garbage scow to Oberon.
I'll take it. Even that scrap heap of a planet beats this place.
Ok, if you're sure. But I'd advise you to stay clear of the micro-organisms.
Yeah? How come?
They'll pick you clean.
No kidding?
They don't get live ones all that often.
Good point.
