Duke Kahanamoku's statue presides over Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Revered in Hawai'i and other parts of the surfing world, his outstretched arms have leis added each day by locals and tourists alike. Taken just before sunrise.
Duke building's frontal view (formerly the seat of Elon College's sciences curriculums. Chemistry occupied the third floor, biology the second, and physics the ground level. On campus of Elon University, Elon, North Carolina.
Elon College, the University's forerunner, was my undergraduate alma mater, a B.S. Chemistry in 1971.
I believe I still hold the last B.S. in chemistry awarded there, but not for long. Elon has recently been re-certified as a BS chemistry granting institution by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Remember me, my friend,
For, as together we roamed the Earth,
So we shall, in due time, roam the Heavens.

then when I die I want to go where they went.”

(This photo of a sprightly Duke was taken at the beginning of the Prescott-Russell Trail, and only three days after I was born. It was because of Duke that Dad decided that he wanted a dog of his own to walk the Trail with.
Thanks for bringing us together, Duke.)

Southport's oldest cemetery containing amongst others, 97 first world war burials, and 69 from the second world war.
The rear of train C760 rolls passed the spring switch R2 signal in Duke Siding just outside Mount Holly, NC on its way west.
I was in search of three or four rare butterflies. I nearly gave up when this little beauty landed a distance from me. I just had time to swap lenses. I would have liked this sharper, but I saw it anyway. My husband wandered a bit further and saw a dingy skipper.I think we saw two grizzled in flight, but could not be certain although I know they live in this location.
Thanks for your comments and faves, but Please don’t fave a photo without a comment. Much appreciated. Thanks

Went to Rodborough today and found The Dukes flying, Sword Leaved Helleborine flowering as were several Pasque flowers.
This rare and seriously declining butterfly most often occurs in small colonies on north- or west-facing slopes on scrubby chalk and limestone downland, but may also be found in coppiced areas and sunny woodland glades, where it used to be much more common.

Duke is one of the two Kelpies, the other being Baron, on the Helix site near Falkirk, Scotland. They are based on two real Clydesdale horses of those names. They were created by sculptor Andy Scott and stand 30 metres high. If ever in Scotland they are a ‘must see’.

The Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow has become an iconic site due to the construction cone on its head. What started as prank is now part of the Glasgow identify, highlighting that Glaswegians don’t take themselves too seriously.
Managed to capture the eye & underwing with a nice bokeh is just a shame about the leaves it's sitting on but not too bad got the background I desire
Duke Street in Bath and adjoining parts of North Parade were built in 1748 by John Wood the Elder. Several of the buildings have been designated as Grade I listed buildings. The street, which overlooks the River Avon, is pedestrianised with no vehicles permitted to enter.
Duke Street was part of a wider scheme to build a Royal Forum, including South Parade, Pierrepont Street and North Parade, similar to Queen Square, which was never completed. Wood designed the facade, of Bath stone, after which a variety of builders completed the work with different interiors and rear elevations. Many of the buildings are now hotels whilst some remain as private residences.
Behind it is the spire of the Victorian St John the Evangelist RC Church (1861-7); at 68 metres it has the tallest spire in the city, rather unusually for a Roman Catholic church in southern England.
Bath is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Somerset. With a history going back to Roman times, when it first became a centre for bathing, much of its famed architecture dates from the Georgian era, when it became a fashionable place for wealthy Londoners to take the waters, connected by the ever faster stagecoach network.
Many of the streets and squares were laid out by John Wood, the Elder. Jane Austen lived in Bath in the early 19th century. Further building was undertaken in the 19th century and following the Baedecker Blitz of 1942.

Last Summer I got a phone call telling me that Duke had to be put down. He had gotten a brain tumor and was suffering numerous seizures a day. Finaly after one of those siezures in the middle of the night my father decided that it was time. I was out treeplanting at the time and thus could not be there....
funny how attached we get to animals...
