Ashton Court - Bristol - England

Ashton Court is a mansion house and estate to the west of Bristol in England. Although the estate lies mainly in North Somerset, it is owned by the City of Bristol. The mansion and stables are a Grade I listed building. Other structures on the estate are also listed.

Ashton Court has been the site of a manor house since the 11th century, and has been developed by a series of owners since then. From the 16th to 20th centuries it was owned by the Smyth family with each generation changing the house. Designs by Humphry Repton were used for the landscaping in the early 19th century. It was used as a military hospital in the First World War. In 1936 it was used as the venue for the Royal Show and, during the Second World War as an army transit camp. In 1946 the last of the Smyth family died and the house fell into disrepair before its purchase in 1959 by Bristol City Council.

The estate developed from the original deer park and is Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England. It is the venue for a variety of leisure activities, including the now-defunct Ashton Court Festival, Bristol International Kite Festival and the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. It is home to charity The Forest of Avon Trust.

Much interior and exterior refurbishment work is still required to bring the building back to a fully operational facility, much of the interior is in a state of total disrepair. The cost fully renovate the building is in the region of £40 million. The city council and other agencies are in talks with the hope of making a start in the next year…..

🌿 SKETCHES 🌿

Howdy!! I’m so excited for the owl house to come back!! (this caption is old and reposted, I can’t believe that by the time this post queues out, the owl house will be over ;-;) I can’t wait to see how they pull off season three!! I’m still bummed that it got cut short, but I have faith that the writing team will do a great job :)

I’ve recently moved and started up school again for the first time in a while!! Thank you all so so much for your continued support!! I really appreciate appreciate your patience these past few months, and as I try and balance school work, art, and figure out what supplies I may have left at home haha. I hope you’re all doing well!! :D

[ID: Sketchbook on a textured green background opened to a page with a few sketches, some in pen, pencil, or both. The top left sketch is a full body pencil sketch of a dragon flying. It’s head is in front of its body, and it’s turned right. It’s claws are stretched in front of it, one hand curled shut, the other open. Both wings are pointed down. It’s spine and tail arches above it’s head in a geometric line. It then bends down behind it, ending in an arrow point with rough impact lines at its tip. The dragon has an underbite, a rough scale pattern, horns and spikes going along it’s spine. To the right are two pencil sketches of Luz and Amity from The Owl House. Luz is in the top right corner. It is her season 3 design, and the sketch is cropped at her shoulders. She faces 3/4 right, and has a somewhat angry and wary expression. Behind her is a large, red circle with a messy yellow outline. Beneath her on the left is a bust sketch of Amity, facing left. She has an angry expression, and her season 3 design. Behind her is a similar red circle that sits under Luz’ circle. Overlapping on the right side of Amity is a bust of a wolf/deer/bird hybrid species of my own design. It has the head and neck of a wolf with a bare, textured nose, vacant eyes, deer antlers, ears, and markings. It faces 3/4 left, its head slightly tilted. Behind it is a fern, and some leaves. The final sketch takes up the bottom of the page, and is a landscape of a lighthouse on a hill with an attached home. Behind it is a view of the ocean. Thee lighthouse tower is 5 stories, is white and red striped, and has vines growing up it. The attached house is a cape with a dutch roof, a center chimney, large, tall windows, 2 dormers, and an alcove for the rounded front door. Off the side of the cape is an open air garage/patio with an old car parked underneath. Behind the top half of the page are two horizontal purple lines of varied widths. There are various watermarks reading “Leaves-&-Inks” on the page.

Image 2: Close-up of the pencil sketch of Luz from The Owl House. It is cropped at the top and right . edge of the page. The top of Amity’s head, and the top of the fern are on the bottom, and to the left the dragon’s claws are in frame.

Image 3: Crop of the deer/wolf/bird hybrid previously described. It is cropped at the right edge of the page, and part of Amity’s hair and ear, Luz’ shoulders, and the beginnings of the landscape sky are visible. One of the leaves on the left side is also cropped.

Image 4: Close-up of the pencil sketch Amity from The Owl House . It is cropped lower dragon claw and Luz’ right shoulder, halfway across the wolf hybrid’s face, and at one of the dragon’s wings.

Image 5: Close up of the lighthouse landscape previously described. It is cropped at the edges of the pages, except for the top edge, which shows the bottom half of the wolf hybrid’s face, and a sliver of amity’s upper arm.

Image 6: Crop focusing on the previously described dragon . It is cropped to the top and left end goes off the page. On the right edge, Amity’s hair is visible, along with the edge of Luz’ circle. On the bottom, the sky is visible, along with the uppermost floor of the lighthouse, split in half vertically. /end ID]

Blog 01: Kyoto, Ibaraki, Nara | 3/23 thru 3/25

Wabi Sabi 

Wabi and Sabi both acknowledge the beauty in things based on specific characteristics that the social culture in the U.S. do not usually find beauty within. Wabi focuses on simplistic beauty, and the beauty of age and transformation influences Sabi.

Tenryuji (天龍寺, Tenryūji)

The first place we visited was the most important temple and world heritage site in Kyoto, the Tenryu-ji Temple. The landscape features an overlook of a large pond that guides you to the route of Sakura trees and a bamboo forest. 

 Daimon-ji, Ibaraki

In the mountains of Ibaraki, Dr. Makoto Nakamura, a former professor of landscape architecture at Kyoto University, directed the design of the project of a new garden for the historic Buddhist temple in that area. The garden design uses borrowed scenery, acknowledging the presence of the surrounding hills and Japan's topography represented through mounds around the main pond. 

Todai-ji (東大寺, Tōdaiji, "Great Eastern Temple") 

The Todai-ji is a landmark of Nara built in 752 CE and is one of Japan's most famous and historically significant temples. Inside is the most prominent Buddha figure in the world, Daibutsu. Before entering the temple, you are surrounded by local deer and welcomed by Nara Park. 

Teinei 

Teinei is a Japanese cultural concept that expresses politeness, courtesy, and respect while being a good host and having manners in public areas. Everywhere, people greet you with compassion. I quickly got used to a new country, as I felt safe almost at all times. 

Tea Ceremony

The Tea Ceremony was a highlight of our time in Daimon-ji, Ibaraki, since the group got to sit down and speak amongst ourselves while enjoying fresh Matcha Tea and wagashi, a Japanese sweet. We learned that during the ceremony, you eat the sweet first, then turn the tea cup three times so that the face of the cup is shown while you drink it. Our conversations were about all the displays and the Ikebana flower arrangement.

Hello ! How are you doing ? I'm a FAN of your artwork and i would like to ask a few questions if it's ok for you to answer them ? I would like to know how long does a drawing take you ? ( like, for a non-background/only character by example and how long does it take you for a full masterpiece like those you are doing for khazad week ? epsecially the last one with the oh so like dream mountains ? ) And did you learn by yourself ? Are there any artists that you admire and that have inspired your style ? oh and the most important : do you think you will ever do illustrations for children's stories like fairy tales? because your artwork is very colorful and cute ( and amazing, marvelous, wonderful, poetic, incredible ) and I can see your kind of drawings on the covers of children's stories ! have a nice day !

oh wow hello!!! i am very well and luckily mostly recovered from being sick so i was properly outside again and visited the deer and goats at the park, so i'm very happy 🥰 this is such an incredibly sweet ask and i am very flattered to have received it!! i'm happy to answer your questions 🫶

luckily, i've got an artprogram (ProCreate) that automatically records my process and tells me how long it took - everything i draw varies greatly in style because i usually draw whatever i feel like drawing and try whatever i want to try...i really really like trying out all the different brushes available to me and see where they take me!! so i'll show you four different drawings and how long they took me:

there's a lot of variables but in general cell-shading is a lot quicker than a painting approach ❣️

my latest drawing for khazad week took around 3 hours i believe - i had a lot of fun with filling everything with these little swirls and shapes, i used to fill entire pages with stuff like that during train rides when i was younger. i'm honestly a bit surprised people are liking it that much but i'm very happy! my backgrounds usually take a bit longer though, i've checked a few bigger drawings and they all come out to around 7 hours!

i had a few How To Draw books in my team, i especially remember one on animals and one on anime that i had when i was 12, though i also remember not really using them and being a bit bored by them. i also had a book about drawing when i was maybe 5 and i remember that one really fondly. it used simply shapes and bright colors and there was an underwater landscape with fish and corals and algae that i thought was sooo beautiful and that i would draw over and over again. i think that one stuck with me haha! otherwise i am self-taught in the sense that i never really attended classes beyond the mandatory ones at school. art/drawing for me personally has always been about having fun and trying myself out and being happy more than anything else.

it's also why i will not and can not ever do art properly as a proper job like graphic design, and i am not sure i could do comissions either. if i am bored and/or restricted the quality greatly suffers...this is truly just for my own fun 😚 though to prematurely answer your last questions i actually COULD very much imagine doing kids books illustrations - those are usually very whimsical and fun and unless the author has very specific pictures in mind already, i could just go nuts with it...kind of a dream honestly though the deadline would be so scary!

as for inspiration...this one is haaard to answer! i constantly get inspired by so many things i see every day - tumblr is so full of wonderful images and nature itself is so beautiful and sometimes i'll recall things from my childhood, books with vaguely remembered illustrations about all kinds of things (the caves in mountains from what i posted yesterday were based on a blurry memory of a book my father read to me when i was pretty young) and then there's museums... on top of it all i study art-history so i am always surrounded by beautiful images...how overwhelming. here are three artists that have inspired me with shapes and colors and patterns:

gustav klimt, phyllis shafer, and wenzel hablik!! in general i really really love art noveau, expressionism, and abstract art and i also love childrens books illustrations!

i don't at all come close to any of them and my more cartoonish style is a way of mimicking features of the art that i love but without putting too much work into it hahahahah

thank you again for this lovely lovely ask, it made me feel really cool 😳 i hope you'll have a wonderful day morning or evening, wherever you are 💐 feel free to ask more questions if i've answered anything in an unclear manner or if you just feel like it:)<3

Exploring the Wonders of a Natural Park: A Journey into Nature’s Heart

Natural parks are sanctuaries of beauty and tranquility, offering a refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life. These preserved landscapes, often home to unique wildlife and plants, are perfect destinations for those seeking adventure, relaxation, or a deep connection with the natural world. Whether you're a hiker, birdwatcher, photographer, or simply someone who enjoys the peace that nature brings, visiting a natural park can be a rejuvenating and awe-inspiring experience.

The Beauty of Unspoiled Nature

One of the most captivating aspects of a natural park is its untouched beauty. Unlike urban parks or manicured gardens, these natural landscapes often remain in their raw, unaltered state. As you step into a natural park, you're met with the grandeur of towering trees, crystal-clear streams, and vast meadows that stretch endlessly into the horizon. The diversity of ecosystems in natural parks is astounding; from dense forests to open grasslands, each section tells its own unique story of life, growth, and survival.

For nature enthusiasts, the opportunity to witness various ecosystems coexisting in harmony is nothing short of mesmerizing. These parks often serve as havens for wildlife, offering a glimpse into the lives of animals thriving in their natural habitats. Whether it’s the sight of a deer gracefully moving through the woods, the playful chatter of squirrels, or the occasional sighting of a majestic eagle soaring high above, the experience is enriching and educational.

Activities for Every Adventurer

Natural parks offer a wide variety of activities for visitors, catering to all levels of adventure. For hikers, there are trails that wind through breathtaking scenery, some offering stunning vistas from mountain peaks or serene walks along the water's edge. Whether you're in for a challenging trek or a leisurely stroll, you can choose trails suited to your fitness level and interests. Along the way, you might discover hidden waterfalls, ancient rock formations, or rare flora unique to the region.

Birdwatching is another popular activity in natural parks, with many parks being home to an array of bird species. With binoculars in hand, enthusiasts can spend hours spotting and identifying different birds, each with their distinct colors, songs, and behaviors. Many parks also have designated observation points, where you can sit quietly and immerse yourself in the sounds of nature.

Photography lovers will find endless opportunities to capture nature’s beauty. From the early morning mist rising over a lake to the golden hues of a sunset filtering through the trees, the ever-changing landscape offers something new and spectacular at every turn.

The Importance of Preservation

Natural parks are more than just places to visit—they play a crucial role in conservation efforts. By protecting large areas of land from development and deforestation, these parks preserve biodiversity and provide a safe haven for endangered species. Many parks also offer educational programs to help visitors understand the importance of environmental stewardship. Rangers and naturalists often lead guided tours, workshops, and talks that highlight the need for conservation and how everyone can contribute to protecting our planet.

In addition to wildlife preservation, natural parks also protect vital natural resources such as water, air, and soil. Forests act as the lungs of our planet, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, while streams and rivers within parks often serve as sources of clean water. Visiting a natural park not only allows us to enjoy these resources but also reminds us of our responsibility to safeguard them for future generations.

Reconnecting with Nature

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, natural parks offer an invaluable opportunity to reconnect with nature. Time spent outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall well-being. Whether you're camping under the stars, listening to the rustling leaves, or simply sitting by a river, a visit to a natural park allows you to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures of life.

As you leave behind the noise of traffic and the glow of screens, you begin to notice the small details that often go unnoticed in our daily lives: the sound of a breeze through the trees, the scent of wildflowers, the dance of sunlight through the branches. These moments of serenity are what make natural parks so special—a place where nature's wonders can be experienced in their purest form.

Conclusion

A visit to a natural park is more than just a day out; it’s a journey into the heart of nature. Whether you're seeking adventure, peace, or a deeper connection with the environment, these parks offer an unparalleled experience. So pack your gear, lace up your boots, and step into the wild—where the beauty of nature awaits, ready to inspire and rejuvenate your soul.

There are a few steep rises on the somewhat difficult track, but the work is definitely worth it. Numerous animals can be found in the forest, and if you're lucky, you might even see a leopard or some deer. This path is perfect for the adventurous spirit because of the thrill of the ride paired with the peace of Kansal Forest. Before you go, make sure you have your bike rental in Chandigarh.

4. Rock Garden to Nepli Reserve Forest

Beyond the walls of Chandigarh's Rock Garden lies a tranquil landscape just waiting to be discovered. It's a remarkable artistic achievement.

The route winds through wide fields and tiny villages before entering the reserve forest's thick greenery, making for a serene ride. For those who want to spend some peaceful time in nature and escape the bustle of the city, this is the ideal path.

5. Sector 42 to Sarangpur Village

Sarangpur is a quintessential Punjabi village, replete with colorful fields, amiable residents, and the irresistible aroma of freshly made chapatis cooking on clay stoves. Since the trip is flat and easy, riders of all ability levels can enjoy it.  There are a number of Chandigarh bike rental businesses that have a range of bikes to choose from. 

6. Chandigarh to Morni Hills

The ultimate countryside adventure for experienced cyclists looking for a challenge is cycling from Chandigarh to Morni Hills.

Ascending the hill, you'll discover quaint villages, terraced fields, and lush green woodlands. Both the cool breeze and the wide-open views at the top make this excursion truly unforgettable. This route is quite demanding, so choose a reliable bike rental in Chandigarh that rents out bikes suitable for lengthy rides and hills.

Plan an Adventure in Cuyahoga Valley National Park

by Paige Guscott Discover the wonders of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes, hiking trails, and wildlife encounters. Plan your unforgettable adventure today and experience nature at its finest!.... History of the Park Before it became the recreational haven we know today, the area of Cuyahoga Valley was a bustling hub of activity for Indigenous tribes, settlers, and industrialists. Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area was established in 1974, though it wasn't until October 11, 2000, that it was redesignated as a National Park. This new designation is a testament to its unique blend of natural and historical heritage. Encompassing approximately 33,000 acres, the park encompasses land along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland. Despite being one of the smaller national parks, it punches above its weight in popularity, welcoming over 2.3 million visitors each year. Historical Significance of Cuyahoga Valley National Park Ohio From ancient earthworks left by prehistoric peoples to the Ohio & Erie Canal that became a driving economic engine of the nation, the park has witnessed the economic and population change in the area. Furthermore, the conservation movement that led to its establishment as a national park is a part of the larger narrative about America's evolving relationship with its natural landscapes. Exploring the Wonders of Cuyahoga Valley National Park Ohio Natural Features of the Park Cuyahoga Valley houses so many different landscapes, each unique in their own way. The cascading Brandywine Falls, one of the most photographed spots in the park, is a stunning 65-foot waterfall that draws nature lovers and photographers alike. Visitors can also wander through lush forests, home to towering trees, with their lofty, colourful canopies. The park's meadows, which burst with wildflowers in spring, show off colors and life that changes with the seasons. Photo by rustyc on Pixabay Biodiversity and Conservation Efforts The importance of biodiversity cannot be overstated, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a living laboratory for conservation. The park's varied habitats are crucial for the survival of many species and serve as a refuge in an increasingly urbanized landscape. Efforts like habitat restoration and the control of invasive species are vital to maintaining the park's ecological balance. By preserving this biodiversity, the park ensures that future generations can enjoy and learn from these pristine environments. Wildlife and Plant Species In this green oasis, the wildlife is as varied as the landscape itself. The park is home to white-tailed deer, beavers, and over 200 species of birds, including the bald eagle and the great blue heron. The Cuyahoga River, once notorious for pollution, now teems with life, symbolizing the park’s remarkable recovery. Plant enthusiasts will appreciate the park's botanical diversity, which includes over 900 plant species. Among them are rare wild orchids and the pink lady's slipper. Planning your Trip Visiting Cuyahoga Valley National Park will undoubtedly be an absolute thrill. However, before you set foot on one of its meandering trails or gaze upon a serene waterfall, there is some practical info you should consider to make your visit as enjoyable as possible: Getting to the Park First things first, let's talk about getting to the park. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is conveniently located and easily accessible by car from major nearby cities like Cleveland and Akron. If you're flying in, the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is your best bet. From there, renting a car is advisable as public transportation to the park is limited. Once at the park, be sure you're familiar with the regulations; they're designed to protect both you and the park's delicate ecosystems. Check out the visitor centers when you arrive—they're treasure troves of information and can provide the latest updates on trail conditions and any seasonal considerations you might need to be aware of, such as spring flooding or winter closures. Seasonal considerations are especially important. Spring brings wildflowers and rushing waterfalls but also slippery trails. Summer offers full access to all areas, yet it's also when the park is most visited. Autumn dazzles with colorful foliage, while winter blankets the landscapes in snow, offering a different kind of tranquil beauty—but also requires preparation for cold-weather hiking. Regardless of the season, always dress in layers and bring plenty of water. Accommodation options After a long day of exploration, you'll need a comfy place to rest. The park itself doesn't offer lodging, but don't fret—surrounding towns provide a range of accommodations. You can find everything from charming bed and breakfasts to full-service hotels. For those who want to immerse themselves in nature, nearby campgrounds and RV sites offer a more rustic experience. Just remember to book early, especially during peak seasons, as these places tend to fill up quickly!
