One of thousands of geographic benchmarks, this one in a bridge near Slateford, PA. along the Lackawanna Cutoff. 5/15/09
The second of these that I have found, and that I have now discovered to be Ordnance Survey benchmarks. To be fair, it was pointed out to my by a friend as I had completely missed it. I wonder just how many of them there are?
A typical benchmark on a stone in Kullsbjörken outside Leksand in Dalarna.
Benchmarks are points of known height that are used in levelling.
My first attempt at putting two images together in Elements. - A B&W version!!
Sarah was taken inside with a horrendously cluttered background, which I could do nothing about, so I thought that I would experiment with changing backgrounds for the first time.
There are still many things to learn/apply - eg feathering, blending, lighting, shadows etc, etc, etc, but for a first attempt, I am quite pleased with it.
4 North Pallant, Chichester, West Sussex.
This Ordnance Survey Benchmark is engraved into the brickwork and when the wall was painted in a cream colour the mark was painted in contrasting black. Showing on OS maps of the late 1800's (as 48.9 ft) but not appearing on later maps.

The weather today was supremely beautiful, and Benchmark in Park Slope has a lovely outdoor dining space. Jason, Holly, Tania, Loc, and I met up there for brunch.
The food just wasn't seasoned enough, but the place was nice, so I'd give it another try.
