Beat the heat.
On the Ashridge Estate again today. I swear this has appeared since last week when we did this walk. Though more likely I just didn’t notice it.
Built in 1889, this Queen Anne-style house features a side gable roof with a smaller front gable, half-timbering on the gable ends and dormers, dormers with front gables and pointed casement windows, a diamond pane attic window on the front gable, painted brick exterior, large decorative brackets, replacement windows, stone lintels and sills, a second-story balustrade below a feature window, double-hung windows on the side gables with complex mullions, a painted rusticated stone base, a front door with decorative glass sidelights and a decorative glass transom, and a front porch with a hipped roof, square columns, decorative trim, and a complex decorative railing.
These bracket fungi growing on an old willow stump beside the river were a bit old and manky, but still seemed to hold a certain charm.
In fact an oil lamp bracket. The bracket is on the footbridge at Danzey station and dates from GWR days when the station had no gas or electricity and the only lighting was from Tilley lamps.
The train approaching is the 172332 with the 11.56 Stourbridge Junction to Stratford-upon-Avon service.
This was my last pre-lockdown picture.

150274 rolls into Blackpool North station with 2N97, the 1720 from Manchester Victoria.
The sole surviving signal box in Blackpool, the 1896, Lancashire and Yorkshire-built Blackpool North No.2 stands on the left of the frame.
158903 clags towards Broomfield station with 1W46 Sheffield to Scarborough, nice to get two bracket signals in the same shot.
Designer; Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin
About 1851
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri
"Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was the most important promoter and designer of the mid-1800's revival of the Gothic style. In 1846, Pugin was hired to oversee the the furnish of the houses of Parliament, where this bracket clock was originally installed. He used plaster casts of well-known English and French Gothic architectural features as inspiration for the motifs of vines, trefoils, ribbons, and beveled corners. These elements added a dynamic composition to the restrained clock form."
It pleased me as an engineer to see something functional in an art museum. I often think that there is impressive beauty in functional things that are well done. The most obvious of example of this would be classic cars, but other things like clocks can be works of art too.
Spotted these cool looking fungi growing up the trunk of a tree in a wooded area of the lake. They were above my head. I flipped the photos to get a better look. They remind me a bit of stacks of french toast.

Started as three bracketed images taken in infrared using a modified Canon EOS 5D. Plenty of manipulation of the colours to give predominantly two complimentary ones.
Growing on the surface of a decaying downed tree lying on the forest floor in Warren Woods State Park, Chikaming Township, Berrien County, Michigan.
At last a chance to get out with my camera for a few hours! Between storms and commitments, I have not been able to be out and about for a few weeks. So it was with relish that I set off the capture some early morning shots around the docks of Belfast.
