Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854), Field Marshal and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, attributed to George Dawe oil on canvas, circa 1817
As Lord Paget, Anglesey served with great distinction as cavalry commander under Sir John Moore during the retreat to Corunna in 1809, the 'Dunkirk' of the Peninsular war. He was prevented from serving under Wellington's in the Peninsula by a scandal: he ran off with Wellington's brother Henry's wife Lady Charlotte Wellesley. Wellington, though, was happy to accept him as a subordinate for the Waterloo campaign, crushing a colleague who reminded him of Anglesey's reputation with: 'I'll take good care he don't run away with me: I don't care about anyone else.'
National Portrait Gallery, London. Purchased, 1910.
Fruit Salad
So on this particular Friday night, back on May 24th this year (2024), a flurry of fireworks blasted off above the Sydney Opera House. They looked like a bowl of fruit salad!!
The fireworks occurred as I was walking across the harbour bridge (as you do on a Friday night, lol) making my way from Kirribilli to 'The Rocks' to take pictures of the city, and also get coffee at 'The Rocks Cafe' on George Street.
I was able to capture the fireworks by resting the camera on the top of one of the guard rails along the bridge walkway.
The Opera House sails are featuring artwork from Australian artist, Julia Gutman, who has 'digitised' centuries old fabric making techniques. Here is all the information about the 2024 'Lighting Of The Sails':
