LNER HST 43238 'National Railway Museum 40 years 1975 - 2015' keeps the power on near Retford at Botany Bay working 1S23, The 1530 London Kings Cross to Edinburgh service under stormy skies
I used spend the school summer holidays on this beach, as we lived up the road, there used to be an archway going across to the island but that has eroded now. Health & safety didn't exist either!!
It was a grey old day!
Botany Bay is linked with the history of smugglers. In 1769 smuggler Joss Snelling and his gang were caught with contraband on the beach by the Revenue Patrol, after a fierce fight Joss escaped. Joss survived to become an old man, who was introduced to Princess Victoria on a visit to the area. He died in Broadstairs in 1837. There is also Joss bay a litte further up I wonder who that is named after!
THANKS FOR ALL VISITS & FAVES IT IS APPRECIATED
The sexy bits of a lily flower. Male pollen on six anthers supported by filaments. Female stigma receives male pollen and passes it down the style to the ovary where the seeds are formed. Plants aren't so very different from us are they?
Cap'n Jack Sparrow: We be sailing to Botany Bay

Facing westward. The large tree that dominates the scene is a magnificent specimen of Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana).
As one would expect given its locale, the branches of this lovely monster are festooned with Spanish Moss, otherwise known as Tillandsia usneoides. Actually not a moss at all, this clump-forming freeloader is in fact an epiphytic (tree-dwelling) bromeliad, a highly adapted flowering plant in the same family as the pineapple. To get a closer look at this amazing epiphyte, see Part 28 of this set.
In the previous, Part 30 description, I mentioned that another giant on the Pinckney site, a Southern Magnolia, was a member of the ancient magnoliid lineage of flowering plants. Here, however, we have representatives of the other two great angiosperm groups: the Southern Live Oak is a eudicot, and the Spanish Moss is a monocot.
The other photos and descriptions of this series can be found in my Botany of the Carolinas Coastal Plain album.

📟 : 313 to Chingford Station
🚍 : LT185 - LTZ1185
LT185 passes through Botany Bay (and avoids a little branch) as it heads from Potters Bar to Chingford Station operating route 313.
I drove down this road this morning, before dawn, to get to my sunrise location. It's a little spooky in the dark.

I did not go far on this day! I just went to the lawns of our condos!
It was the Shaggy Mane/Inky Cap that caught my eye initially. I found just a few other fungi growing along the paths.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. They are all greatly appreciated

and my favorite little breakwall, albeit pretty well the same as the other 30 along the bay ;)
The iconic sea stack at Botany Bay in Broadstairs is slowly eaten away by the tide over centuries. This, coupled with the strong winds, is causing chunks of chalk fall onto the beach. The white and finely grained limestone ball that you see here is a case in point.
Another one from Botany Bay, but at a faster shutter speed with no ND filters this time. Just to show the difference, I will post a long exposure from the same position tomorrow.
Looks best in Light box on black.
Then fairly new unit 8163 waits in Botany yard with 2471 oil train bound for points south on 29 July 1988. The area to the left looks for all the world like future railway works but was actually associated with the adjacent I.C.I. (later Orica) plant expansion.
