View Benchmark is a prominent peak on the Traverse Ridge, below Lone Peak. Though it's low altitude and an easy summit most of the year, walking through thick snow in early February was an adventure.
Looking north into the Salt Lake Valley.

Another sunset. The bench with view is quite appropriate as I'm off this week with the family to the Lake District.
At the Helen Nisbet - Roberts Pollinator Preserve. I like the symmetry of these trees, with a thoughtfully placed bench between them. This is the open area of the preserve that will be managed with flowering plants favored by pollinators. With a southern exposure allowing ample sunlight it is ideal for that purpose.
During a corporate event at Brouwersdam (Ouddorp, The Netherlands) the beautiful sunset was too good to be missed, even though the lack of a tripod prevented the real ND/low-ISO deal.
It's been said before, and I'll say it again: Using a circular polarizer on a ultra wideangle-lens is a two-edged sword.
The verdant colours of the sodden suroundings are echoed in the shiny new paintwork of Solo 48002 as it heads for Seatoller from Keswick on a 78 service with one of my colleagues at the wheel.
This vehicle and a sister have just been outshopped in the handsome "Lakes" livery and allocated to Lillyhall in time for the delayed start to the Lake District Summer timetable.
Once that timetable kicks off the 78 will become half-hourly from hourly and be in the hands of open-topped Tridents.
The Solos will then be allocated to the clockwise and anti-clockwise Keswick - Buttermere - Keswick circulars.
You must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example - I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.

« Les migrants aussi font un peu de “benchmarking” pour regarder les législations à travers l’Europe qui sont, on va dire, les plus fragiles, et vous voyez par exemple que telle nationalité, que là encore je ne citerai pas, elle se dirige plutôt sur tel pays non pas parce qu’elle est plus francophile, mais parce qu’elle juge que là, c’est plus facile. » Gerard Collomb Ministre français de l'intérieur.
