Aqueduct

Very cool. Where is that?

Very cool. Where is that?

It's in North Wales, close to the border with England. I took a pic of the tourist info board because there's no way I'm remembering that name:


It's a World Heritage site, more than 200 years old, and the longest (1,000feet long) and tallest (126ft) in the UK

It's a fine place for lovers of canals and engineering:


The people descending the steps on the top right give a sense of scale


That narrow walkway would have carried horses, towing barges or longboats

I think this might be looking across the Teign, in Devon, but haven't
a clue, really. I've always been a sucker for graduated horizons


Eye Cricklewood. This is the same sunset as in the previous post,
but changing the axis changes the image, too. Both were shot from the
roof of the Mansion block I lived in in Chichele Road.


Youth / Expecting to Fly Not sure. Perhaps somewhere in Somerset


Got Goth if you want it Whitby, natch


Palsh Kilpeck. These two delightfully drunken-looking animals,
purporting to be a hound and a hare, were carved in the 12th century
to decorate one of the corbels on Kilpeck Church, a Norman,
Romanesque classic

I posted so many because I am having to go to broadband hell, aka my mother's home (to begin the process of clearing out her stuff after she has been taken into dementia care), so I won't be back here until Thursday.
Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if someone would occasionally lob in a comment or two, if only to say,' I am a human', as I'm beginning to think that the steady climb of the views count is down to me posting every day and inciting the botsquadrons.

Well, after five days without a post, it looks like I was right about this:

Still, nil desperandum and other spells against misery – here's some happy pics:

Missed this, because I didn't peep in for a few days after visiting regularly.

Ok, so here goes my general comment.

Not so fond of the 'nature morte' arrangements, but really think all your landscape, structure, portrait, nature, etc. pics are terrific. And there are always new ones to surprise me. So please, don't give up on us, Ray!

[harvey k-tel]

I check in most days, too, Ray. Always enjoy what's on offer.

[Rayge]

Thank you guys. I wasn't actually planning on stopping, but it's nice to feel someone's enjoying them.
