Don't pity me I ain't asking for nothing
I'm proof that the cracks let in the light
Keep coming in I'm booking oh
Every scar is a song that I'm singing
Every fall is a bell that keeps ringing
If I break I rebuild I'm not hopeless
I'm alive in the silence
Still alive still fighting
Bleeding inside but I still survive
Every crack tells a story unspoken
Tell it... don't hide
I'm singing my truth through a heart that's been broken
Yeah pieces on the ground still shine like gold
Even broken glass cuts deep, deeper when it's cold
You're a cheating man but somehow I still stand
Ain't no perfect man, just a broken man
Soon nothing left in his hand
The Rotunda is located in the Black Fen Pleasure Grounds of Bramham Park that is only open by booking. This photo is taken from the public access path across the park. The gate though is broken and you can walk up to the Rotunda at present The dip in front of the wall is a Ha-Ha
This Garden Temple was built. Mid C18 possibly by James Paine for George Fox-Lane
A ha-ha is a type of sunken fence that was commonly used in landscaped gardens and parks in the eighteenth century. It involved digging a deep, dry ditch, the inner side of which would be built up to the level of the surrounding turf with either a dry-stone or brick wall.
The point of the ha-ha was to give the viewer of the garden the illusion of an unbroken, continuous rolling lawn, whilst providing boundaries for grazing livestoc
The Baltic Flour Mills building by the Tyne, didn't actually open until 1950 - the earlier, 30s/40s style of it is largely because it was designed in the 1930s, work started, but the Second World War put a long pause to it.
These days it has been totally revamped and recreated as one of the most famous galleries for contemporary art in the north of England,
As part of the 1990s regeneration of the formerly heavily industrial area, this was converted to a massive gallery. Pleasingly the winning architects chose to retain as much of the original exterior as possible, in a nod to the area's heritage, while significantly reworking the interior.
Sadly I didn't get to go inside - it was Number One on my list to visit when I arrived at Newcastle, but found out the damned gallery is shut on Mondays and Tuesdays! Yes, I should have checked before booking my train, but seriously, I didn't think I would have to, I was amazed to find such a major gallery closed for two days of the week. So annoyingly I didn't get to go inside.

Workshops & Tours: We are now taking bookings for our new 2021 Isle of Harris Tour!
The Booking Hall roof, Edinburgh Waverley station.
Waverley station was the collective name of three separate termini opened in 1846 and 1847, although the name only dates from the 1854 opening of the 'Waverley' route to Carlisle via Galashiels and Hawick.
The three independent stations were taken over by the North British Railway in 1866-68, were demolished and replaced by the current station. The dome seen here from below was added in 1897.
The station was designated as a Listed Building, Category A in 1991.
Silly Saturday pic of a little snail found "booking it" across a plastic cover of a box in the garden. Had a lot of fun messing with the colours for this one in lightroom.
Excerpt from booking.com:
Les Résidences du National de Montreux enjoy an exceptional view of Lake Geneva. The accommodations consist entirely of private apartments let out by their owners when not being used.
Each apartment has a terrace with panoramic views of the lake and the Dents du Midi, a large living/dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and a space with washing machine and dryer. Towels and bed linen are available on arrival and guests enjoy weekly cleaning with change of linen and end-of-stay cleaning.
There is no restaurant on site. By renting a fully equipped apartment with WiFi and a garage parking space, guests can feel at home and live independently in a private area.
Covering an area of 1050 ft², the spa includes an outdoor hot tub, a counter-current indoor pool, a gym, a sauna and a steam room. It is available without extra charge.
The Casino Montreux and the Quai Fleuris are a 5-minute walk away, and the renowned Château de Chillon is only 1.4 mi away. Many ski resorts and Geneva Airport are around an hour's drive away.
Took an isolated shot of a mac laptop and then added a photo of a restaurant on the island of Mykonos, Greece and inserted the picture onto the screen. Happy holidays!

Booking Hotel in Punta Islita, Costa Rica bookinghotelin.com/Puntaislita This ultra-remote, rustic luxe hideaway is worth the bumpy, two-and-a-half hour drive from Liberia Airport. The rooms aren't as impressive as those at larger luxury resorts in the region, but the unparalleled views, stunning infinity pool and ruggedly beautiful (if rocky) beach more than compensate. The Casitas have private terraces with plunge pools.
One of my favourite reserves in the whole North of England due to it's open plan nature. There are many lakes, ponds, reedbeds and meadows. There are lots of nature trails and as you walk around you can see the wildlife and observe it from the paths.

St Aidan's is a perfect place to get close to nature and relax, unwind or exercise in a stress-free environment. Just outside Leeds on the banks of the River Aire, it's a big new space to walk, run, cycle, or ride your horse and enjoy the wildlife that surrounds you.
It has a wide range of wild plants and animals, and is home to thousands of birds, brown hares, roe deer, wild flowers and insects - all living in a stunning landscape of vast reedbeds, grassland, woodland, lakes, ponds and islands.
With a variety of circular paths of varying lengths and large areas of open grassland, St Aidan’s is a great place for families to enjoy the outdoors, share a picnic and play together.
Over 7.5 miles (12 km) of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes connect the surrounding communities, with links to national footpath and cycle networks. St Aidan's is a fantastic place for locals wishing to explore the wider countryside or as a destination for people who love nature.
Opening times
St Aidan's is an open access site. Opening times apply to the visitor centre and car park. From March-October they're open from 9.30 am to 5 pm. From September-February it's 9.30 am to 4 pm. They're closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Entrance charges
Entry to the site is free but donations to help us continue our work are welcome. There is a car park charge of £2.50 per car for RSPB non-members. RSPB members and disabled badge holders park for free.
Information for dog owners
Dogs are allowed on the reserve as long as they are kept on a lead in the appropriate designated zones. There are some less sensitive areas within St Aidan's where dogs are allowed off the lead. Please check with staff before letting dogs off the lead.
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Bittern
Bitterns are brown, secretive herons, camouflaged to hide amongst reeds. Visit in spring to hear male bitterns 'booming' or summer to watch the parents making feeding flights.
Great crested grebe
Watch the amazing courtship ritual of great crested grebes on the open water in spring. You may see pairs performing their 'weed dance' when they present one another with weed and patter across the surface of the water together.
Little owl
You may be lucky enough to find one of these compact owls perched in a tree or on a fencepost. They become very active at dusk and you may hear their shrill calls.
Marsh harrier
Look for marsh harriers gliding over the reedbed with their wings held upwards in a shallow 'v'. In spring, pairs perform their breathtaking 'skydancing' displays high in the sky.
Skylark
Spring visits will be enriched by the beautiful song of skylarks. They rise up into the air from the grassland until they are barely visible and only their song can be heard

Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Look out for marsh harriers displaying over the reedbeds, great crested grebes performing their elaborate courtship dances and returning swallows skimming low over the water and grasslands as they collect insects. Listen out for skylarks filling the air with their song, the deep booming of male bitterns, male snipe 'drumming' as they vibrate their tail feathers to attract females and lapwings calling as they perform their aerobatic displays. Enjoy the fusion of colour as wildflowers burst into bloom and a host of brightly-coloured butterflies and dragonflies take to the wing. Spring is also a great time to see kestrels. You can often see several hovering around the site at the same time as they hunt for voles in the grassland. Kestrels have also been seen nesting in the huge dragline.
Summer
Watch overhead for herons and little egrets dropping into the reeds to feed, female bitterns flying low over the reedbeds as they seek out food for their chicks or marsh harriers passing food to each other in flight. Keep an eye on the open water for lines of young ducklings paddling along behind their parents or young great crested grebes riding around on their parents' backs and admire the abundant lilypads on the lakes. Stoats, weasels and water voles are often seen at this time of year as are basking butterflies and dragonflies hawking the waters edge. Thousands of black-headed gulls set up a colony at this time of the year filling the air with their calls. Summer is the best time to spot the elusive black necked grebe as it will have its fluffy youngsters in tow. Avocets also nest at this time of year. St Aidan’s is a good place to spot this iconic bird that is the logo of the RSPB.
Autumn
Autumn sees the arrival of migrant birds, such as black-tailed godwits, ruffs and green sandpipers. Local birdwatchers will also spot a few rarities such as spoonbills and pectoral sandpipers. Huge flocks of lapwings arrive to spend winter with us and can be seen around pool edges and on grassland. Short-eared owls hunt over the reedbeds and our winter wildfowl begin to arrive. Look out for flashes of blue as kingfishers flit up and down the river.
Winter
Waders and wildfowl such as lapwings, curlews, wigeons, teals, shovelers and goldeneyes gather in big numbers, roosting and feeding across the grasslands and pools. Water rails can be spotted feeding on frozen pools, or you can listen out for their strange, pig-like squealing! The elusive bittern is also drawn out into the open at times. One of the most awesome spectacles in winter is seeing massive flocks of roosting birds panic and fly into the air as peregrines hunt over the site. Look and listen out for overwintering stonechats. Their calls sound like two pebbles being knocked together!

By train
The nearest train stations are Woodlesford (3.2 miles), Castleford (3.2 miles) and Garforth (4.3 miles). If you're going to be walking or cycling from the station to St Aidan's, choose Woodlesford station. Turn left out of the station then left onto the main road. When you get to the bridge over the Aire and Calder navigation, cross it, then turn right and walk along the riverbank until you reach St Aidan's. If you're going to take a taxi from the station to St Aidan's, head towards Castleford station as it's easier to get a taxi there.
By bus
The nearest bus stop is just outside the entrance to St Aidan’s, on Astley Lane. The Number 167 Leeds to Castleford bus stops here and is run by Arriva Yorkshire.
By road
Reach us from junction 46 of the M1. Follow the A63, signposted Selby and Garforth. At the roundabout, take the fourth left for Wakefield A642, Swillington and Oulton. Follow the A642 for 1.5 miles then turn left on to Astley Lane. St Aidan's is 1.8 miles on the right.
From Castleford, follow the A656 (Barnsdale Road) north out of the town centre for 1.4 miles. Turn left onto Station Road towards Allerton Bywater and travel 1.2 miles. Turn left onto the Leeds Road (next to the yellow corner shop). St Aidan’s is 0.5 miles along the road on the left.
While waiting for a restaurant booking I decided to take a walk around the local area, looking for intersting cars. This was the best find from the walk. It has been spotted by a number of people before on Flickr before, including myself a few years ago. In the 2 weeks from spotting it to uploading it, it has been scrapped. You'd think the owner would be aware of its rarity. When I spotted it, it looked as if it hadn't moved for a while, which is strange for a builders car like this. I must have just caught it before it was taken for scrap, possibly even the next day... A bit of a shame as this was one of those real survivors that could only be found in London.

This is the Booking.com Headquarters in the city-centre of Amsterdam, currently under construction at the Oosterdokseiland:
All of the other action shots from the tennis courts have been of the blondes. Here Eva is showing that she can book it too. I like her movement and how much she looks like a puppy here, but the fence drives me a bit batty. She keeps to the periphery of the courts when we're there (apparently that is where the good smells are), so getting her without the fence is problematic at best.
