Ben Ohau (1522m) dominates the view at the southern end of Lake Ōhau. I particularly like the grey rock in the foreground that mimics the shape of the snow-covered Ben Ohau in the background.
Big Ben is a clock located in the bell tower at the north end of Westminster Palace in London, England and its interior. The official name of the tower where Big Ben is located was originally Clock Tower, and it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012. Elizabeth Tower), to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II. The clock is the largest clock in Britain. Its building was completed in 1859, making it one of the largest and most accurate four-sided clocks in the world.
Ben A'an - the miniature mountain - in the heart of The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Scotland. I frequently climb Ben A'an for sunrise and sunset, its one of the best viewpoints in Scotland. This photo follows my rules for taking a 'selfie' - Don't look at the camera, no close ups, take it in an iconic location, try to look heroic (even if you're knackered after the climb).
This is what we came home to.
Ben loves the cooler weather and the first snow.
Us, not so much, at first.
Happy Thanksgiving !
Ben lost his Dad when he was 10, this was just over a year later on a trip to a trout farm. So difficult to appreciate how a huge loss at that early age feels like.

The water on the very left is Lochan nan Breac, and the peak in the distance beyond is Sgurr Mor. The river down to the right is the Carnach on its way to Loch Nevis.

Siamo a Dicembre, non si vede ancora la neve, ma un paesaggio tipico autunnale con questo bel pratone verde e una loco incredibilmente pulita.
Mi sa che ho fatto bene a farmi un giretto per campi stamattina!

A skyward view of the east end of the only siding on the former N&W Gilbert Branch. Gilbert itself is only a handful of miles to our east. From there the Virginian's small but impressive empire stretched towards Mullens, Princeton and eventually Roanoke. The N&W and VGN have long since been merged away and nowadays the NS runs this railroad mostly as one, although the current employee timetable still reference separate entries for the Gilbert and Guyandotte River branches.
we've been pulling in the timber Rob coppiced a few years ago this last week, as its ready to log. And the pups have been free in the yard. They love scratching around in the heat of the now mountainous wood chip pile.
Looked and felt like winter on the 22nd May. Spectacular snow scenery and with the frost last night on the rock walls of the North Face it was a day to remember. You can see the how big the snow cap is when you look at the tourists marching up the track. Went up via The Ledge and down by The Arete and CMD. 7.5 hours total time.
The Great Clock of Westminster is a clock tower by the Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster) and is often referred to as Big Ben. Big Ben is actually the name of the great bell in the tower. The name of the tower was changed to the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 during the Diamon Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The tower was completed in 1859 and stands 96 metres (318 feet) tall. It is located adjacent to the Thames River and the Westminster Bridge.

Op de Kuiperberg in Ootmarsum is in 2011 een monument van de uit Enschede afkomstige dichter en schrijver Willem Wilmink geplaatst.
Ik plaats deze foto van het monument voor Wilmink nu op 4 mei vanwege zijn gedicht Ben Ali Libi, dat in 2013 zo mooi en krachtig werd voorgedragen door de vorig jaar overleden Joost Prinsen.
Ben Ali Libi
Op een lijst van artiesten, in de oorlog vermoord,
staat een naam waarvan ik nog nooit had gehoord,
dus keek ik er met verwondering naar:
Ben Ali Libi. Goochelaar.
Met een lach en een smoes en een goocheldoos
en een alibi dat-ie zorgvuldig koos,
scharrelde hij de kost bij elkaar:
Ben Ali Libi, de goochelaar.
Toen vonden de vrienden van de Weduwe Rost
dat Nederland nodig moest worden verlost
van het wereldwijd joods-bolsjewistisch gevaar.
Ze bedoelden natuurlijk die goochelaar.
Wie zo dikwijls een duif of een bloem had verstopt,
kon zichzelf niet verstoppen, toen er hard werd geklopt.
Er stond al een overvalwagen klaar
voor Ben Ali Libi, de goochelaar.
In 't concentratiekamp heeft hij misschien
zijn aardigste trucs nog wel eens laten zien
met een lach en een smoes, een misleidend gebaar,
Ben Ali Libi, de goochelaar.
En altijd als ik een schreeuwer zie
met een alternatief voor de democratie,
denk ik: jouw paradijs, hoeveel ruimte is daar
voor Ben Ali Libi, de goochelaar.
Voor Ben Ali Libi,
de kleine schlemiel,
hij ruste in vrede,
God hebbe zijn ziel.

What started out as looking for a certain file in the archives has made me look at a lot of images that were never processed for one reason or another.
This is another of those images that seemed to jump out at me all those years later.
This is Ben Lomond looking a touch pink in a pale wintery sunrise.
A statue of Benjamin Franklin stands in Philadelphia, except it doesn't really as this is an AI creation.
Ben Lomond Peak in the light of the setting sun with the Antelope Island visitor center and the causeway in the foreground.
The view from Ben A'an in The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park in Scotland. Ben Venue is the mountain to the left, with Loch Katrine below, the peak of Ben A'an is on the right.
The highest mountain in the British Isles, situated in the Scottish Highlands. Taken on a cloudy damp day.
Another from our day out on the 'Ben', this was on the trek down when the Sun was going lower in the sky and creating some longer shadows.
Wanted to take an image with a blurred Big Ben but then have the branches in perfect focus. In hindsight I should have swapped the two.
George Mears, then the master bell founder and owner of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, undertook the casting of the Big Ben bell. According to foundry records, Mears originally quoted a price of £2401 for casting the bell, but this was offset to the sum of £1829 by the metal he was able to reclaim from the first bell so that the actual invoice tendered, on 28th May 1858, was in the sum of £572.
Transporting the bell the few miles from the foundry to the Houses of Parliament was a major event. Traffic stopped as the bell, mounted on a trolley drawn by sixteen brightly beribboned horses, made its way over London Bridge, along Borough Road, and over Westminster Bridge. The streets had been decorated for the occasion and enthusiastic crowds cheered the bell along the route.
The bells of the Great Clock of Westmister rang across London for the first time on 31st May 1859, and Parliament had a special sitting to decide on a suitable name for the great hour bell. During the course of the debate, and amid the many suggestions that were made, Chief Lord of the Woods and Forests, Sir Benjamin Hall, a large and ponderous man known affectionately in the House as "Big Ben", rose and gave an impressively long speech on the subject. When, at the end of this oratorical marathon, Sir Benjamin sank back into his seat, a wag in the chamber shouted out: "Why not call him Big Ben and have done with it?" The house erupted in laughter; Big Ben had been named. This, at least, is the most commonly accepted story.
