Yorkshire in the UK isn't known as Gods Own County for nothing :-)
This was taken on the way back to the Bed and Breakfast we were staying at in the sleepy village of Horton in Ribblesdale. We'd been out taking photos of the sunrise since 5am, so were on our way back for a nice full-english breakfast :-)
Ironically, as we walked back into the hotel, a hiker was making an "early start" on attempting to walk the "3 peaks" - he doesn't know the *meaning* of early!
Props to ewan for the spot, you can see his interpretation of the same scene here... i must admit i prefer his - more colourful.
The stone Bridge over the River Tees connects the town of Barnard Castle with Startforth. It dates from the 14th Century and is overlooked by the castle. It was sometimes called "County Bridge" as it was formerly on boundary between County Durham and Yorkshire. The bridge was repaired in 1596 and the parapets were repaired after the Great Flood of 1771.[1] The bridge is Grade 1 listed.

Double Bridge Over Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park[
Navajo Bridge is the name of twin steel spandrel arch bridges that cross the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon National Park in northern Coconino County, Arizona, United States. The newer of the two spans carries vehicular traffic on U.S. Route 89A over Marble Canyon between Bitter Springs and Jacob Lake, allowing travel into a remote Arizona Strip region north of the Colorado River including the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
The bridge was officially named the Grand Canyon Bridge when it was dedicated on June 14–15, 1929. The state legislature changed the name to Navajo Bridge five years later in 1934. The original bridge was closed to vehicular traffic after the new span opened in 1995. The old span is still open for pedestrian and equestrian use.

This is the Bartow County Courthouse in Cartersville, Georgia. "The Bartow County Courthouse, built in 1902, is an historic redbrick Classical Revival style county courthouse located on Courthouse Square in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, United States.
Designed by the Louisville, Kentucky architectural firm of Kenneth McDonald & Co. together with self-taught Georgia architect J. W. Golucke, who is said to have designed 27 courthouses in Georgia and four in Alabama, it is Bartow County's third courthouse and the second one built in Cartersville. The first courthouse built in Cassville, while the county was known as Cass County, was burned by General Sherman's troops in 1864. In 1867 the county seat was moved to Cartersville and the second courthouse was built in 1873. It proved to be unsatisfactory because court proceedings had to be halted while trains passed by on the nearby railroad. In 1992 a courthouse annex known as the Frank Moore Administration and Judicial Center was completed.
While the 1902 building is still used for some court purposes, most of the proceedings are held in the 1992 building." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartow_County_Courthouse.

National Register Narrative
The Lee County Courthouse in Giddings, Texas, stands on a public block that, unlike most squares in towns throughout the state, is surrounded by residential rather than commercial buildings. Designed by J. Riely Gordon in 1898 and built by Sonnefield, Emmins and Abright of San Antonio, the three-story red brick courthouse is located on the crest of the high divide that separates the Colorado and Brazos river basins. The building displays a combination of a variety of structural masses and is an imposing site in the predominantly residential area. Similar in design to many of Gordon’s Texas courthouses, the Lee County Courthouse employs the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Cruciform in plan, the structure contains two story quarter-circular entrance galleries set into the front ells (northeast and northwest ells), while the rear ells (southeast and southwest) contain two three-story quarter- circular bays with open arcades on the first :Level and enclosed floors on the second and third levels. A brick parapet with punched brick detail crowns each bay. Each arm of the Greek cross is covered by a hipped roof. From three of the wings large, gabled wall dormers project, while a chimney rises from the rear (south) arm. Two additional dormers are set within the northeast and northwest ells above the two-story quarter-circular galleries. The three-story quarter-circular bays are crowned by cross hipped roofs. Rising from the center of the mass is a tall, square, brick clock tower with tall arcaded openings and a clock. The tower ends abruptly, however, for it lacks the pyramidal roof that Gordon typically employed.

As its name suggests, the great tit is our largest tit species. It weighs approximately 6g more than the willow tit and has a wingspan 5cm longer, which in the world of small songbirds, is a lot.
We may think of the great tit as very much a UK garden bird. However, it is actually the most widespread of all tit species. It is found as far away as Japan, Indonesia and North Africa. They aren’t all the same as ‘our’ great tit, as there are 14 recognised subspecies throughout its range.
