From the ongoing Light Flame Abstract series… Land of Confusion, by Genesis… I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams / Been haunted by a million screams / But I can hear the marching feet / They’re moving into the street Now did you read the news today / They say the danger’s gone away / But I can see the fire’s still alight / There burning into the night There’s too many men, too many people / Making too many problems / And not much love to go round / Can’t you see this is a land of confusion? Well this is the world we live in / And these are the hands we’re given / Use them and let’s start trying / To make it a place worth living in Ooh, Superman where are you now / When everything’s gone wrong somehow? / The men of steel, the men of power / Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place / So we look for the future / But there’s not much love to go round / Tell me why, this is a land of confusion This is the world we live in / And these are the hands we’re given / Use them and let’s start trying / To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago when the sun was shining / Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night / And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight, so long ago I won’t be coming home tonight / My generation will put it right / We’re not just making promises / That we know, we’ll never keep Too many men, there’s too many people / Making too many problems / And not much love to go round / Can’t you see, this is a land of confusion? Now this is the world we live in / And these are the hands we’re given / Use them and let’s start trying / To make it a place worth fighting for / This is the world we live in This is the world we live in / And these are the names we’re given / Stand up and let’s start showing / Just where our lives are going to :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: / “Well this is the world we live in / And these are the hands we’re given / Use them and let’s start trying / To make it a place worth living in…” / :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Apophysis 2.07beta / 9000×7200pixels ~ use large view, please ~ thanks for the look, my friends! / Live the Peace… Serious Fun Studios ~ fractal art images and photography Fractal Art Prints & Products by SBricker @ Zazzle fractal art by SBricker @ devientART Scott Bricker at Fine Art America Scott Bricker’s art at Art Wanted.com

There are nearly 1,000 years of history at this great castle, situated in magnificent grounds overlooking the River Arun in West Sussex and built at the end of the 11th century by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Arundel. / The oldest feature is the motte, an artificial mound, over 100 feet high from the dry moat, and constructed in 1068: followed by the gatehouse in 1070. Under his will, King Henry I (1068-1135) settled the Castle and lands in dower on his second wife, Adeliza of Louvain. Three years after his death she married William d’Albini II, who built the stone shell keep on the motte. King Henry II (1133-89), who built much of the oldest part of the stone Castle, in 1155 confirmed William d’Albini II as Earl of Arundel, with the Honour and Castle of Arundel. / Apart from the occasional reversion to the Crown, Arundel Castle has descended directly from 1138 to the present day, carried by female heiresses from the d’Albinis to the Fitzalans in the 13th century and then from the Fitzalans to the Howards in the 16th century and it has been the seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and their ancestors for over 850 years. From the 15th to the 17th centuries the Howards were at the forefront of English history, from the Wars of the Roses, through the Tudor period to the Civil War. Among the famous members of the Howard family are the 2nd Duke of Norfolk (1443-1524), the victor of Flodden, Lord Howard of Effingham, who with Sir Francis Drake repelled the Armada in 1588, the Earl of Surrey, the Tudor poet and courtier, and the 3rd Duke of Norfolk (1473-1554), uncle of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, both of whom became wives of King Henry VIII (1491-1547). These were politically dangerous times: the ‘Poet’ Earl was executed in 1547; his father, the 3rd Duke of Norfolk only escaped the death penalty because King Henry VIII died the night before the execution was due and the 4th Duke (1536-72) was beheaded for plotting to marry Mary Queen of Scots. There have been two cardinals and a saint in the Howard family; St Philip Howard, 13th Earl of Arundel (1557-95) died in the Tower of London for his faith. By contrast, his son, the ‘Collector’ 14th Earl (1585-1646), as his nickname suggests, was responsible for many of the treasures which can be seen today. The results of all this history are concentrated at the Castle, which houses a fascinating collection of fine furniture dating from the 16th century, tapestries, clocks, and portraits by Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Mytens, Lawrence, Reynolds, Canaletto and others. Personal possessions of Mary, Queen of Scots and a selection of historical, religious and heraldic items from the Duke of Norfolk’s collection are also on display. During the Civil War (1642-45), the Castle was badly damaged when it was twice besieged, first by Royalists who took control, then by Cromwell’s Parliamentarian force led by William Waller. Nothing was done to rectify the damage until about 1718 when Thomas, the 8th Duke of Norfolk (1683-1732) carried out some repairs. Charles Howard, the 11th Duke (1746-1815), known to posterity as the ‘Drunken Duke’ and friend of the Prince Regent subsequently carried out further restoration. / (Text from the Arundel Castle official website) / Panasonic G1
