an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

Originally called the "Calvert Street Bridge", it was designed by Paul Philippe Cret in a neoclassical style and built in 1935. It was rededicated as the Duke Ellington Bridge following the death of the Washington native and famous band leader in 1974. It is a limestone structure with three graceful 146-foot (45 m) arches. There are four sculptural reliefs on the abutments measuring three feet high by four feet wide. The classical reliefs by Leon Hermant represent the four modes of travel: automobile, train, ship, and plane.
The bridge replaced one built in 1891 by the Rock Creek Railway to carry streetcars. The bridge was a steel trestle bridge with wooden decking, 750 feet (230 m) long and 130 feet (40 m) high. To avoid streetcar service disruption, the old bridge was moved 80 feet (24 m) south during the construction of the new replacement Calvert Street Bridge; however, streetcar service was discontinued before the new bridge opened.

The TSS Duke of Lancaster was a railway steamer passenger ship which operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is currently beached near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee. Unfortunately in the meantime the ship has been painted black (by "unknown people") and all the graffiti are gone.
This superb Renaissance equestrian statue of Duke Antoine of Lorraine (1489-1544) adorns the gatehouse of the palace of the Lorraine's Dukes in Nancy. It took as a model the famous equestrian statue of King Louis XII in Blois.
The original statue, which dated from 1511-1512, was destroyed during the french Revolution. The current statue dates from 1851.

Frozen Duke - Dawn breaks upon the frosty shoreline of Ullswater with the frozen Duke of Portland boathouse catching the early light as mist rolls down the lake.
The hoar frost on the foreground reeds just hints at what an artic dawn it was; experiencing such ethereal conditions a year ago made waiting around on Ullswater's shore in such Siberian temperatures surprisingly bearable, actually enjoyable to be honest.
Spectacular hoar frost conditions on a fiercely, bitterly cold dawn.

I visited Ivinghoe just after the rain hoping to find some of these and possibly some of the many species of bee to be found there. This Duke Of Burgundy was a little sluggish after the shower but only allowed me to take a couple of shots before fluttering off in search of love. Always a pleasure to see these in the very short window of opportunity we have, especially as there are not many locations left due to habitat loss. Fortunately the land these are on is quite save partly due to its geology and also the efforts of local wildlife trusts. This makes it a stronghold for many species of butterfly that are in decline elsewhere.
Here is the second capture from Maxie Duke this time looking up the primary escarpment and the waterfall chute itself. If you remember the previous photo... that capture was taken about half way up from what you see here over on the left hand side. Behind me in this capture the waterfall continues downward for quite a while which is really cool. The area I was standing was much more cleared out than my previous visit, and we'll continue down the falls in the next captures. Pictures don't quite do justice to the breadth of this beauty! :) -H3

storms Shap with the "Royal Scot" charter train from Euston to Carlisle on 6th November 2025. This was its first revenue earning run following extensive overhaul. A fabulous sound and sight, shared with a gathering of old friends!
The famous or infamous Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square replete with the traffic cone on the Duke's statue head which has always sat there since being placed there by late night revellers in the 1980s.
Over the years Glasgow city council did attempt to have the traffic cone removed from the Duke's head but in the face of public opposition the council eventually conceded defeat.
The statue has become a symbol of Glaswegians' playful humour and even a symbol of Glasgow itself.
Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), first Duke of Wellington, is probably most famous for his defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815 at Waterloo.
Apparently, Wellington became known as the Iron Duke after he had to install iron bars or shutters on the ground floor windows of his home, Apsley house in London, to prevent them being broken by bricks thrown by political protesters during a time when Wellington was the serving British prime minister and perceived by many as resistant to social and political reforms.
The Duke of Wellington statue was erected in 1844 after being funded mostly by private donations. It was sculpted by the Italian artist Carlo Marochetti and is a Category A listed sculpture.
A short distance from the statue, in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square, there is a gastropub known as The Iron Duke.
