This aerial photograph shows Sotterley Hall, a Grade I listed country house set within historic parkland in north-east Suffolk, a few miles inland from the coast at Southwold and Beccles. The present house is an elegant early-18th-century brick mansion, remodelled in the Palladian style c.1740, though parts of the estate go back much further.
The Hall has been associated with the Barne family since the 18th century, when Miles Barne (1718–1780), a wealthy London merchant and MP, purchased Sotterley in 1744. The family greatly enlarged and remodelled the house and laid out the surrounding parkland in the mid-18th century, creating the designed landscape we see today. The park includes sweeping lawns, lakes, and avenues of trees, and is a fine example of the English landscape style.
The wider Sotterley Park is registered as a Grade II listed historic landscape on the Register of Parks and Gardens. It retains medieval origins, with evidence of a former deer park, as well as later additions by the Barnes. Within its bounds are several listed buildings, ancient woodland, and a number of fine veteran oaks and sweet chestnuts, some hundreds of years old.
The estate also contains the parish church of St Margaret’s, a beautiful medieval church with a distinctive round tower, standing within the park close to the Hall – an unusual and evocative survival of the medieval manorial landscape.
Today, Sotterley remains a private estate, but its parkland and architecture continue to illustrate the long history of Suffolk’s landed families and the layered development of English country house landscapes from medieval to Georgian times.
Surrounded by the silhouettes of the ancient Porcupine Mountains, the Lake of the Clouds is a blue gem amid the thick forests. The Lake of the Clouds is perhaps the most photographic feature in the Porcupine Mountains region. No matter what the season, it is a truly breathtaking sight to behold. The best view of the lake and the surrounding hills is from an easily accessible boardwalk just off 107th Engineers Memorial Highway. The Lake of the Clouds Scenic Area is located in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park.
The views from the top of the toer at Walton on the Naze are rather good.
This is a view of the naze itself, the geographical feature which gives the town it's name.
If you would like to know what I was doing there and see the views from the top, then this link to my YouTube video will show you all.
The Chittagong Port is the main seaport of Bangladesh. Located in Bangladesh's port city of Chittagong and on the banks of the Karnaphuli River, the port handles over 90 percent of Bangladesh's export-import trade, and has been used by India, Nepal and Bhutan for transshipment.

The Buriganga is economically very important to Dhaka.Launches and country boats provide connection to other parts of Bangladesh,a largely riverine country. When the Mughals made Dhaka their capital in 1610,the banks of the Buriganga were already a prime location for trade.The river was also the city's main source of drinking water.The river is afflicted by the noisome problem of pollution.The chemical waste of mills and factories,household waste,medical waste and oil are some of pollutants.
The third day of the trip was a travel day only. Although I got a few shots around the airport, I like this one of Houston, Texas from about 30,000 feet. This came into view just as we started the descent into Austin, and this is looking south toward the city. I prefer ailse seats, but this shot almost made up for only being able to book a window seat on this flight. For 2016: one photo each day (141/366)
....with an overlook to southwest Berkeley, from the 9th floor. Gives an idea of the many old trees in Berkeley city.
