Continuing roadworks in Leeds present the opportunity to stand in the middle of the road as the empty stock from the 1903 ex Kings Cross makes its way to Neville Hill depot. 20.06.2019
as an excuse to why I’m always late :-)

BR Standard 8P 71000 ''Duke of Gloucester'' at Crewe works, in 1966.
The loco was later dismembered, and the remains - chassis, wheels, and boiler - dumped at Woodhams scrapyard, Barry.
The remains were rescued from there in 1973, and later completely restored and re-assembled - with major components recreated from scratch, and major design defects corrected - and returned to steam in 1986, at the Great Central Railway, Loughborough.
Today (2017) the loco is at Tyseley, undergoing its latest major overhaul..
Restored from an cyan-colour-shifted grainy original..

The altar at the Duke Chapel, located on the west campus at Duke University in North Carolina.
Unfortunately, tripods weren't allowed for interior photos of this chapel, so I had to boost the ISO to 3200, in order to get a shutter speed I could hand hold. Luckily, my D90 can handle that.
Looking towards St. James Passage (where the red building is), which leads into Mitre square. At 1:35 AM on the 30th of September 1888, Joseph Hyam Levy, Joseph Lawende & Harry Harris were leaving a Jewish Imperial Club on this street, & at the corner of Church Passage (which was later renamed St. James Passage), they see a woman talking to a man.
Levy said to Harris "Look there, I don't like going home by myself when I see those characters about," referring to the couple. He couldn't give a description of them other than that the man was about 3 inches taller than the woman.
The woman had her back to Lawende, who described her as wearing a black jacket & black bonnet. He later described the woman as Catherine Eddowes, who was found horribly mutilated 10 minutes later in Mitre Square.
Lawende was able to give a description of the man he saw, of shabby appearance, looking about 30 years of age, about 5 ft 9, of fair complexion, with a small fair moustache, & wearing a red neckerchief and a cap with a peak. He did also say he don't think he could recognise him again.
Had to look onto casebook.org to refresh my memory on some of the details.

Maybe I should have entitled this one Duchess of Burgundy as this is a female Duke of Burgundy, which for some reason are always far more elusive than males. Males draw attention to themselves by indulging in aerial dogfights with other males, whereas females just potter about. They have fuller, more rounded wings with more orange markings than males.
A really odd thing about Duke of Burgundy is that they are the only European representative of the family Riodinidae. This family has more than 1500 species but the vast majority are in tropical America, with just a few representatives from tropical Africa and southern Asia.
The scientific name is Hamearis lucina. Hamearis means "at the same time as spring" from the springtime appearance of these butterflies. Lucina is the Roman goddess who brings light, or brings out into the light, hence she is also the goddess of childbirth, who safeguarded women in labour.
There are probably fewer Duke of Burgundies in Britain than any other species because other rare butterflies tend to occur in large numbers in their favoured haunts, whereas Dukes are always rare. In 2000 there were thought to be 200 colonies, totalling just 2.66 square kilometres. Just 9 years later 120 colonies had vanished leaving just 80 colonies, and all but five of these were tiny colonies. This information is from Patrick Barkham's excellent Butterfly Isles.
They usually occur in grassy habitats with bushes and an abundance of either Cowslips or Primroses, their larval foodplant.
Most colonies are in southern England but there are a handful of outlying colonies in northern England, including North Yorkshire where I photographed this individual.
A couple more shots from this weeks trip up to the lakes. The moon was very low in the sky so they've all turned out a little darker than I'd have liked. Never mind, gives me a reason to go back!
This is the Duke of Portland boathouse which at £300 a night has been turned into an exclusive romantic cottage on the shores of Lake Ullswater and is an iconic and much photographed view of the lake.
The abnormally warm weather encouraged me to try a speculative search for the scarce Duke of Burgundys at Noarhill NR in Hampshire.
The temperature around 11am seemed to reach the point where 2 fresh individuals appeared - easily my earliest date to see this species !
everything about her makes me want to be more well-rounded :-)

Duke was a family member of mine from 2007 to 2020. He was always an elegant gentleman who trusted everyone he met.
I will miss him forever.
Recently I found this amazing wool felt artist who takes commissions. I sent her over 30+ photos of Duke, and she didn't let me down. She successfully reproduced a miniature version of him.
Now he came back to me with his iconic smile. My Jerryberry would make company with him. None of us would feel lonely ever again.
but I can't get my wife to go swimming :-) Jimmy Carter

Duke on the left was at death's door just a few weeks ago. After two different hospital stays including a famous one in New York City.... Duke's owners were told there was nothing left to do, just to put him to sleep. But on the drive over to their vet, Duke started to show sign's of improvement. So they took him home instead and nursed him back to health from a serious blood disorder. Ironically, Duke's "human dad" had almost the same blood disorder at the same age and he fought his way back from death too. Go figure...
Dutchess is his sister.
