I made quite a few captures of Maxie Duke waterfall on this trip, and this photo is the first I'm sharing from very close to the top. This waterfall has a couple of different levels, but due to a large amount of deadfall it's really impossible to capture the entire scope of the falls in one (1) photo. The last time I visited there was a large amount of debris blocking the middle to bottom portion, and I didn't even realize you could get this close to the top. This time it just looked quite different so I took the opportunity. Not sure I had ever seen a capture from this vantage point before, and I'll also say that if there was no deadfall on Maxie you would probably have one of the most beautiful falls in the area (as if it's not already). We'll make our way down the falls in the next photos. :) -H3
As I came back from Glasgow, another good forecast was predicted so I got up at 4am and headed down to the nearest bit of the lakes I could get too. Thankfully at Ullswater there was a nice bank of mist and frost on the grasses so worth it!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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).
