Here's the guy digging on the mound...
Pottery shards from the big mound near Jalalabad. Dave and I have been unable to get more information about it.
It's clearly man-made. Look at it in the satellite imagery (link below). Seriously. There used to be a building on the top. You can tell it's man made by the way the rocks and dirt are piled.
None of the locals I've interviewed have any idea who put it there. It's been there for as long as any of them have a verbal history.
What we do know is there's lots of pottery shards... thousands of them.
Last time we were here some of the locals told us after it rains kids search the mound and sometimes find old coins. Further questioning got nowhere.
Dave and I like to hike here, it's got a great view of the valley. This time we found a guy at the top digging for artifacts, and he found one while we were there. It was a large clay bead with designs in it. He offered to sell it to us... and while I wanted to I didn't because we 1) don't want to reward that behavior and 2) it's bad form and if it isn't it should be illegal.

It seemed a shame not to upload some photos of a perfect autumn day at the beach, but they were not great on their own so it was time to try picmonkey again.
This squirrel was digging in the yard for something he thought was down there. But he came up empty , except some dirt

Gradients as steep as 1 in 40 tackled by small engines produced spectacular sights on the Nidd Valley Light Railway. A freight train, bound for the Scar House Reservoir construction site and probably carrying bagged cement, is pictured in 1934 by H.G.W. Household. It is double headed and double banked. The location appears to be on the section beyond Lofthouse station, possibly the approach to Scar House Tunnel. The gradient has just eased, indicated by the angle of the rearmost engine. Note the bicycle leaning on the fence. Most likely, the photographer used it to reach this isolated location near the head of Nidderdale. The railway, opened in 1907 and owned and operated by Bradford Corporation Waterworks Department, closed to all traffic in 1937. Passenger services ceased on New Year's Eve, 1929.

We went outside this morning before it got too hot and played ball, then while I was off taking photos she decided to amuse herself and dig a hole. I had to take a photo of her, she had that devilish look on her face.

Fish and wildlife biologist Chris Dellith helps a team of 9 and 10 year old students dig a spot for their plant in the new Schoolyard Habitat.
Blooming garden gate fell down at the weekend, so I spent the morning digging out the rotten fence post....the hole was so narrow, I had to use a spoon ....and my hands! :P
There's one workman to work the machine, one to do stuff in the bottom of the hole, and one to chat to his mates on his mobile.
This is the entrance for a beautiful cave.
If you expect a tiger or bear to be in this one, then you are in for a surprise. This is in a beach and is constructed by those who can walk only sideways! This is a cave whose entrance was not more than 1 cm.
Audio is live recording capturing the combination of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves.
