The kind of house that I like.... simple design...

Chateau de Chambord, France, built in 1616 by the King François 1st when he was young... There are many castles like that one that you can visit... When you go inside you think it was built a few years ago... Nobody knows the name of the architect... but we know that Leonardo di Vinci - Italian but died in France - was there looking at the construction...
( Château = Castle )

View with a drone :

painted between 1503-1506

If you want to visit the Louvre museum in Paris, the entrance is inside the pyramid... To visit the entire Louvre it takes 4 days. Inside you can see the Mona Lisa painted by
Leonardo da Vinci.
The Mona Lisa is one of the most valuable paintings in the world. It holds the Guinness World Record for the highest known painting insurance valuation in history at
US$1 billion as of 2023.

If someday you decide to visit France, you should visit some castles of the kings.

Château de Versailles. Built by the King Louis 14.

Kind of reminds me of the gardens in the Isles of Scilly -- which, of course, aren't that far from Cornwall.

We spent the better part of a week in the Scillys after our daughter graduated from Oxford

This is Big Bertha, the huge center speaker cluster that served up audio to the 24,000 seat Rupp Arena, home of the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team for nearly 40 years. Big Bertha...

Big Bertha, sadly decommissioned in 2016.
The more I look at this, the more I want it.
Fifty-eight Altec 805 multicell horns loaded with what look like 288 drivers (maybe 299?).
Eight Altec 210 LF horns -- loaded, I would presume, with 515B drivers. I mean, why scrimp?

As Rolls-Royce used to say of their engines' power specification: adequate.
