Seen in the picture, the ruins of the Hay Barn — one of "Duke's Park's" original structures, which was consumed by fire in 1915, leaving only the stone and brick walls. Decades later, the owner of the estate, Doris Duke, collected many of the remaining marble statues from the illustrious past inside the open-roofed structure, creating a contemplative sculpture garden.
These sculptures, in the past, belonged to the "Italian garden" located under the roof of the Conservatory building and were surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers.

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!
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
A basking Duke of Burgundy butterfly (Hamearis Lucina) found on Cleeve Hill, Gloucestershire, earlier this year.
Out walking around Noar Hill today and another photographer found this Duke of Burgundy butterfly (Hamearis lucina).

Duke is my cousin, a shepherd/husky who left for home this morning after a five day visit. He is eleven plus, but still a beautiful boy.

The Duke Of Lancaster
TSS Duke of Lancaster is a former railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is beached at Llannerch-y-Mor Wharf near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, in north Wales.
December 2011 and the unique steam locomotive 71000 Duke of Gloucester is seen at the head of an evening dining train on the East Lancashire Railway
A lovely couple of hours spent around the bottom of Ivinghoe beacon. I must have seen 10+ species of butterfly including Duke of Burgundy, 2 species of Skipper, Green Hairstreak, Holly Blue, Speckled Wood, Brimstone, Orange Tip, Peacock, Small Tortoiseshell and some others that I cannot be sure about.
Going over old ground to improve on past images, also the Duke street bascule bridge is scheduled for replacement alas with a less classic more modern design i bet, so worth the documenting.
The unique Duke of Gloucester seen from perhaps a small child's eye view / The power of steam in majesty.
More Black & White. This was the wettest charter that I have ever done. Duke of Gloucester at the Churnet Valley Railway (1992) PLC. The exhaust helped compensate for the lack of dryness! Click on the image.

Duke's Place at night. Around the spot near the corner of the building on the left (the light reflecting on the square on the ground), is about the spot where Catherine Eddowes was seen with a man by the three men leaving the Jewish Imperial Club at 1:35am on September 30th 1888.
This corner was once known as Church Passage & it was a much narrower passage that led into Mitre Square.
Eddowes was found viciously murdered in the south west corner of Mitre Square by PC Edward Watkins at 1:45am.
At 1:40am, PC James Harvey entered Mitre Square through Church Passage, but stopped at the edge of the square. He saw nothing unusual, but his lantern would not have given him enough light to see the square completely.
I think it is probable that the Ripper was hiding in that dark corner when PC Harvey entered.
There has been more nonsense lately about some shawl that had DNA on it. Even without this claim, the shawl can be written off as bogus.
It was Mitochondrial DNA, which is only a match for a certain percentage group of the population. Its not a conclusive match.
The provenance of the shawl itself is nonsense. It was allegedly found by PC Amos Simpson who took it home as a gift for his wife before it could be cataloged.
With the times of witnesses I've written above, it makes it even more beyond probability for a third police officer to some how discover the scene before Watkins, & not only not catch the Ripper in the act, but instead decides to desecrate the scene & takes a piece of evidence home.
The Ripper inflicted a lot of damage to poor Eddowes. If Simpson some how stumbled upon the scene, there is no way he wouldn't have been caught.
PC Simpson was also with the Metropolitan Police. Mitre Square is in the jurisdiction of the City of London Police. He was not anywhere near the scene of the crime.
The City of London Police were pretty thorough in cataloging & recording the scene. If Eddowes had a shawl they would have cataloged it. This story about Simpson is drivel that only started with descendants.

I was pleased to find and photograph this mating pair of Duke of Burgandy's on Cowslips the larval food plant. It seemed apt somehow.

This is another shot that was taken on last week's visit to the North Wales coastline. This is the Duke of Lancaster, which is an ex cruise liner and located just off the A548 road near Mostyn.
A portrait of Robert Tilley, the best friend I’ve made since I came to Canada 3 years ago as an international student. I took this portrait one day before Robert turned 73 years old. Robert's grandfather, who was born in 1882 and lived a legendary life in Canada’s Northern territories and Atlantic region, had the nickname 'Duke,' an abbreviation of his full name William Marmaduke Tilley. I think the name Duke is perfect for this portrait. The coat Robert wears in the portrait was made by himself 40-some years ago.
For people who are curious about my equipment: I took this photo with Nikon D850 and Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 lens.
Shining in the golden morning light of Wednesday, December 20, 2023, a southbound intermodal train charges through the signals at Duke - the signals protecting the south end of Linwood Yard in Linwood, NC. Having stopped momentarily to wait for a northbound manifest train to enter the yard, the three Norfolk Southern engines leading the intermodal put out a hefty plume of smoke as they pick up the pace.
Sculpture garden
At Duke Farms, the sculptures in the gardens are mostly 19th-century Italian works brought by Doris Duke’s family. In many 19th-century European and American gardens, these figures were placed as decorative statues, not always tied to a specific mythological name but rather to symbolic personifications. They often represent allegorical figures (Seasons, Muses, Nymphs).
