Inaugurated on October 18, 2000, this monument entitled "Women are Persons!" is a tribute to Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. Known as the Famous Five, these women won the "Persons" Case, a 1929 court ruling which legally declared women as persons under the British North America Act and made them eligible for appointment to the Canadian Senate
The larger-than-life sculptures by Edmonton artist Barbara Paterson were donated to the Government of Canada by the Famous 5 Foundation. They show the five women celebrating their important legal victory in characteristic poses. An empty chair adds an interactive feature to the monument that invites passers-by to join the group. The newspaper with the headline "Women are Persons" that Nellie McClung is holding reflects some of the actual headlines of newspapers of the day.
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), novelist, journalist, suffragette and temperance worker. She was a member of the Alberta legislature, the only woman on the Dominion War Council, and the first woman on the CBC Board of Governors.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette and politician. She was elected president of the women's branch of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1916 and became a member of the Alberta legislature in 1921. She was still a member of Parliament at the time of the Persons Case.
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigator of the Persons Case, writer, and first woman magistrate in the British Empire. She pioneered married women's rights, was National President of the Canadian Women's Press Club 1913-1920, vice-president of the National Council of Women and first president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journalist, suffragist and organizer, fought for equal rights for wives, mothers' allowances and women's rights. She started the Working Girls' Association in Montréal in 1875, a forerunner of the YWCA. Later, while living in Alberta, she compiled two works on Alberta and federal laws affecting women and children.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), politician and temperance campaigner. She was president of the Dominion Women's Christian Union and elected to the Alberta legislature in 1917 as representative of the non-partisan league.

Inauguré le 18 octobre 2000, ce monument intitulé «Les femmes sont des personnes!» rend hommage à Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney et Henrietta Muir Edwards. Ces cinq femmes, mieux connues sous le nom des « Cinq femmes célèbres », ont gagné l'affaire « personnes », un jugement de 1929 qui reconnaissait l'existence des femmes en tant que personnes selon l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique et les rendait admissibles à être nommées au Sénat du Canada
Les sculptures plus grandes que nature, oeuvre de l'artiste Barbara Paterson, d'Edmonton, ont été offertes au Gouvernement du Canada par la fondation Famous 5. Elles représentent les cinq femmes célébrant leur victoire juridique historique dans des poses caractéristiques. Une chaise vide fait partie de l'oeuvre et constitue un élément interactif qui invite les passants à se joindre au groupe. Le titre «Les femmes sont des personnes», sur le journal qu'arbore Nellie McClung, représente bien le type de manchettes qu'on pouvait lire à l'époque.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sumac (also spelled sumach) is any one of approximately 250 species of flowering plants in the genus Rhus and related genera, in the family Anacardiaceae. The dried berries of some species are ground to produce a tangy purple spice often used in juice.
Sumacs grow in subtropical and warm temperate regions throughout the world, especially in North America.
Sumacs are shrubs and small trees that can reach a height of 1-10 meters. The leaves are spirally arranged; they are usually pinnately compound, though some species have trifoliate or simple leaves. The flowers are in dense panicles or spikes 5-30 cm long, each flower very small, greenish, creamy white or red, with five petals. The fruits form dense clusters of reddish drupes called sumac bobs.
Sumacs propagate both by seed (spread by birds and other animals through their droppings), and by new sprouts from rhizomes, forming large clonal colonies.
The drupes of the genus Rhus are ground into a deep-red or purple powder used as a spice in Middle Eastern cuisine to add a lemony taste to salads or meat; in the Turkish cuisine e.g. added to salad-servings of kebabs and lahmacun. In North America, the smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), and the staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), are sometimes used to make a beverage, termed "sumac-ade" or "Indian lemonade" or "rhus juice". This drink is made by soaking the drupes in cool water, rubbing them to extract the essence, straining the liquid through a cotton cloth and sweetening it. Native Americans also used the leaves and berries of the smooth and staghorn sumacs combined with tobacco in traditional smoking mixtures.
Species including the fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica), the littleleaf sumac (R. microphylla), the skunkbush sumac (R. trilobata), the smooth sumac and the staghorn sumac are grown for ornament, either as the wild types or as cultivars.
The leaves of certain sumacs yield tannin (mostly pyrogallol), a substance used in vegetable tanning. Leather tanned with sumac is flexible, light in weight, and light in color, even bordering on being white.
Dried sumac wood is fluorescent under long-wave UV light. Mowing of sumac is not a good control measure as the wood is springy resulting in jagged, sharp pointed stumps when mowed. The plant will quickly recover with new growth after mowing. See Nebraska Extension Service publication G97-1319 for suggestions as to control.
At times Rhus has held over 250 species. Recent molecular phylogeny research suggests breaking Rhus sensu lata into Actinocheita, Baronia, Cotinus, Malosma, Searsia, Toxicodendron, and Rhus sensu stricta. If this is done, about 35 species would remain in Rhus. However, the data is not yet clear enough to settle the proper placement of all species into these genera.

It’s unsure just who discovered gold at Cordova Mine, but the property eventually came into the hands of H. Strickland. In 1897 it was acquired by The Cordova Exploration Company, in 1897, and was worked between 1898 and 1903. In 1911, it was purchased by Cordova Gold Mines Ltd. The mine site included housing as well. Its head office was in Toronto. The mine shut again in 1917 when it was again reopened under the ownership of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada (COMINCO). It remained open only until 1940, and has been closed since

Cordova Lake is just 15 minutes north of Highway 7 so is very easily accessible. Explore the surrounding area and visit the delightful riverside town of Campbellford to the south, take a drive to Bon Echo Provincial Park or visit the ‘rocks that speak’ in Petroglyphs Provincial Park. And if you haven’t visited Kingston or Ottawa, it’s an easy day trip to both.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawartha_Lakes,_Ontario
The City of Kawartha Lakes (2006 population 74,561) is a city in east-central Ontario, Canada. Although designated as a "city", it is a largely rural area. The municipality is named for the Kawartha lakes ("Kawartha," shortened from Gaa-waategamaag, means "shining waters" in the Ojibwe language).
The main population centres are:
* Omemee
* Lindsay
* Fenelon Falls
* Woodville
* Bobcaygeon
The municipality was created in 2000 by the Progressive Conservative government of Ontario through the amalgamation of the constituent municipalities of the former County of Victoria, and officially came into effect on January 1, 2001.
In a close vote (51% for, 49% against), the citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in a November 2003 local plebiscite, but the provincial and municipal governments have not taken any steps since the vote to initiate de-amalgamation.
I've included links to Cordova Lake cottage rentals, not because I want to rent you cottages, but because the ads feature great pictures of the lake and of cottage exteriors and interiors.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daylilies comprise the small genus Hemerocallis of flowering plants in the family Hemerocallidaceae. They are not true lilies which are Lilium in Liliaceae.
These plants are perennial. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful". The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced by another one on the same stem the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.
Originally native from Europe to China, Korea, and Japan, their large showy flowers have made them popular worldwide. There are over 60,000 registered cultivars. Only a few cultivars are scented. Some cultivars rebloom later in the season, particularly if their developing seedpods are removed.
Daylilies occur as a clump including leaves, the crown, and the roots. The long, often linear lanceolate leaves are grouped into opposite flat fans with leaves arching out to both sides. The crown of a daylily is the small white portion between the leaves and the roots, an essential part of the fan. Along the flower stem or scape, small leafy "proliferations" may form at nodes or in bracts. These proliferations form roots when planted and are the exact clones of the parent plant. Some daylilies show elongated widenings along the roots, made by the plant mostly for water storage and an indication of good health.
The flower consists of three petals and three sepals, collectively called tepals, each with a midrib in the same or in a contrasting color. The centermost section of the flower, called the throat, has usually a different and contrasting color. There are six stamens, each with a two-lobed anther. After pollination, the flower forms a pod.
Daylilies can be grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 1 through 11, making them some of the most adaptable landscape plants. Most of the cultivars have been developed within the last 100 years. The large-flowered clear yellow 'Hyperion', introduced in the 1920s, heralded a return to gardens of the once-dismissed daylily, and is still widely available. Daylily breeding has been a specialty in the United States, where their heat- and drought-resistance made them garden standbys during the later 20th century. New cultivars have sold for thousands of dollars, but sturdy and prolific introductions soon reach reasonable prices.
'Kwanzo' - a triple-flowered triploid cultivar
Tawny Daylily Hemerocallis fulva, and sweet-scented H. lilioasphodelus (H. flava is an illegitimate name), colloquially called Lemon Lily, were early imports from England to 17th century American gardens and soon established themselves. Tawny Daylily is so widely growing wild that it is often considered a native wildflower. It is called Roadside or Railroad Daylily, and gained the nickname Wash-house or Outhouse Lily because it was frequently planted at such buildings.
Hemerocallis is one of the most hybridized of all garden plants, with registrations of new hybrids being made in the thousands each year in the search for new traits. Hybridizers have extended the plant's color range from the yellow, orange, and pale pink of the species, to vibrant reds, purples, lavenders, greenish tones, near-black, near-white, and more. However, a blue daylily is a milestone yet to be reached.
Other flower traits that hybridizers develop include height, scent, ruffled edges, contrasting "eyes" in the center of the bloom, and an illusion of glitter or "diamond dust." Sought-after improvements in foliage include color, variegation, disease resistance, the ability to form large, neat clumps and being evergreen or semi-evergreen instead of herbaceous (also known as "dormant" — the foliage dies back during the winter.)
A recent trend in hybridizing is to focus on tetraploid plants, with thicker petal substance and sturdier stems. Until this trend took root, nearly all daylilies were diploid. "Tets," as they are called by aficionados, have double the number of chromosomes as a diploid plant.[1] Only one cultivar is known to be triploid, the brilliant orange 'Kwanzo' or 'Kwanso,' which cannot set seed and is reproduced solely by underground runners (stolons) and division. Usually referred to as a "double," meaning producing flowers with double the usual number of petals (e.g., daylily 'Double Grapette'), 'Kwanzo' actually produces triple the usual number of petals.
The flowers of some species are edible and are used in Chinese cuisine. They are sold (fresh or dried) in Asian markets as gum jum or golden needles (金针 in Chinese; pinyin: jīnzhēn) or yellow flower vegetables (黃花菜 in Chinese; pinyin: huánghuācài). They are used in hot and sour soup, daylily soup (金針花湯), Buddha's delight, and moo shu pork. The young green leaves and the tubers of some (but not all[citation needed]) species are also edible. The plant has also been used for medicinal purposes. Care must be use as some species can be toxic.

When I first saw this picture I know I had to paint it, full credit to the original artist, it is a masterpiece. Bursting out of the Colosseum, on the left you have the elements of history and tradition, and on the right you have the future, which looks like a space craft, and in the middle you have the Centurion, signalling, forward...the past and future being lead by the present, how it should be.
Working full time as well, this picture may take me 3 to 4 days to complete, every night I will post more & more stages to completion. If you click on the Slideshow link below you can watch a Slideshow showing the many stages in the painting of the picture, iv uploaded 11 so far, it may take as many as 30 until im happy with it. Every night if you click on the same link you will see the new additions automatically added to the slidehow, giving you an insight into how 3D Paintings are created.

Many things have been said about the Romans, the recent film released 2010 entitled Centurion is a good example, as was Spartacus, and the birth & life of Jesus Christ. When all is said & done the Romans lasted an aweful long time, they must have been doing something right.
There demise was started with the emergence of a movement that put forth to mankind a much higher set of values, not a stronger military force. That movement is Christianity.
The Roman civilisation tried to Adapt, tried to absorb, but its decline was inevitable. The Catholic Church is what remains of the Roman branch of Christianity.

The photographic competition entitled "Our Memories of the Western District" was the inaugural activity of the West Island Line Community Art Programme. Unique images of the Kennedy Town area were captured by local residents and the winning photographs from the champion, 1st runner-up, 2nd runner-up and merit award recipients were selected as the theme images for use in Kennedy Town Station. These photographic images were then pixelated using thousands of images collected from the community and then combined with monochrome graphics to create a panoramic collage, reflecting the uniqueness and culture of Western District with traditional buildings and daily life of the local community.

Cordova Lake in the City of Kawartha Lakes is about two hours northeast of Toronto. Karen the kids, the grandkids and I rented a cottage at Cordova Lake for the first week of August. This is the second year we've been there.
Condensed from "History of Cordova Village and Cordova Mines"
www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=...
It’s unsure just who discovered gold at Cordova Mine, but the property eventually came into the hands of H. Strickland. In 1897 it was acquired by The Cordova Exploration Company, in 1897, and was worked between 1898 and 1903. In 1911, it was purchased by Cordova Gold Mines Ltd. The mine site included housing as well. Its head office was in Toronto. The mine shut again in 1917 when it was again reopened under the ownership of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada (COMINCO). It remained open only until 1940, and has been closed since

Cordova Lake is just 15 minutes north of Highway 7 so is very easily accessible. Explore the surrounding area and visit the delightful riverside town of Campbellford to the south, take a drive to Bon Echo Provincial Park or visit the ‘rocks that speak’ in Petroglyphs Provincial Park. And if you haven’t visited Kingston or Ottawa, it’s an easy day trip to both.
From Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawartha_Lakes,_Ontario
The City of Kawartha Lakes (2006 population 74,561) is a city in east-central Ontario, Canada. Although designated as a "city", it is a largely rural area. The municipality is named for the Kawartha lakes ("Kawartha," shortened from Gaa-waategamaag, means "shining waters" in the Ojibwe language).
The main population centres are:
* Omemee
* Lindsay
* Fenelon Falls
* Woodville
* Bobcaygeon
The municipality was created in 2000 by the Progressive Conservative government of Ontario through the amalgamation of the constituent municipalities of the former County of Victoria, and officially came into effect on January 1, 2001.
In a close vote (51% for, 49% against), the citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in a November 2003 local plebiscite, but the provincial and municipal governments have not taken any steps since the vote to initiate de-amalgamation.
I've included links to Cordova Lake cottage rentals, not because I want to rent you cottages, but because the ads feature great pictures of the lake and of cottage exteriors and interiors.

At the moment I'm writing a piece for a book entitled "What Is Our Sex?" that is being put together by Vignette Press. It's been a bit of a hectic month for me, and I set myself a bit of a task with this one, including trying to find a third interviewee, which proved harder than I possibly thought.
I am still hoping that one of my leads will come through in the next couple of days, so I am about to send a very polite, pleading email to the editor to ask for an extension [which had been mentioned initially, given the potential difficulty of finding someone suitable to complete the picture] but I don't like asking for extensions and I don't like missing deadlines...
I also had not previously had to transcribe interviews, and this proved a much more long-winded task than I had expected too. What I wouldn't give for a dictaphone with a speed slide so that I could slow down the recording to match my typing speed [which actually isn't all that shabby...]
I was up until 5:30am last night, and I think it is quite possible I'll be doing a repeat performance tonight; but I guess I really need to get some of that sleep stuff at some point.
Hmmm... Sleep and sex: two things I just don't seem to be getting enough of lately... Haha, actually I think that's somewhat self-inflicted, really...
Ah well, Wednesday is ANZAC Day, so there will be more time then...
coffee kills ills like bad dreams but it makes bad breath and jittery fingers and makes you an irritable bitch until you get tired of your miserable self and want to go to sleep to forget it all and then you have a bad dream about being a half-naked miserable failure that will never amount to a hill of coffee beans.
St Edmundsbury Cathedral (formally entitled the Cathedral Church of St James and St Edmund) is the cathedral for the Church of England's Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. It is the seat of the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and is in Bury St Edmunds. Originating in the 11th century, it was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries as a parish church and became a cathedral in 1914; it has been considerably enlarged in recent decades.
small series of 13 pictures entitled -Weekend in Italy-. The images were taken in a magical place ... the village of Orta San Giulio on Lake Orta, the photos will be posted on Saturday and Sunday .... enjoy!.....Argus C3 COLORMATIC, Coated Cintar 50 mm F/3,5 (1956) + 200 Color Plus Kodak, exposure meter ..... use the rule of 16 ....
This created still life photo is more metaphor and photoblog than "capture".
The reason I entitled it "the rock is back" is because my spouse has been traveling a lot lately. But he told his employer that he was going to stagger his weeks on the road . . . it's not healthy for anyone to be gone that much. In fact, due to his symptoms, he went to the emergency room this week to make sure he had not contracted "swine flu". In reality, his serious asthma is the culprit again.
But the point is that this week, he's back. Obviously, he's not that physically strong since he's been at the ER.
Still, being a couple is a different kind of strength. I don't know a perfect couple and we are certainly not either.
However, we are very different people. When he's around I feel like there's a team in place. That matters. Our difference can be great compliments at times. If we were perfectly alike, how boring!
When I woke up on Monday, this rock I've photographed came to mind immediately. It sits in our garden outside our front door. We inherited it with the house. I've never touched it. It's just there all the time, giving color to passerbys and a sense of solid stability to those who gaze at it in passing. That large rock was what I wanted to use in a photo to symbolize my husband's taking turns at being gone and home for us as a married couple. As I flit around with my camera, he's the rock that's always standing there, watching me . . . getting things done . . . Digging the hole to plant the flowers I just brought home from the garden center, etc.
As soon as I could, I went to collect my rock to create a photo to make the point to myself.
That's when an amazing thing happened. As I lifted the rock, it split into two halves -- perfectly. If you look at the photo, I've offset the rock so you could see where what was once one large, solid rock is actually made of two rocks now that have come to fit together perfectly.
Thanks, honey, for working from home this week. Being a couple is work - imperfect work - and takes time. . . over time though, the results are something more than two halves.
Tell someone you love that you love them today, won't you? Because small things matter.

Castellón artist Juan Ripollés, painter and sculptor.
The figure, entitled "The Sun" is made of Murano glass.
Through the glass particles adhered by hand to its surface in colors such as yellow or red, the Ripollés bas-relief will project a different luminosity throughout the day, depending on the projection of natural light, to simulate the variable activity of the sun.
The creation of Ripollés to distinguish the building is made up of a face, weighing 3,000 kilos only at its base, as well as seven arms, equivalent to lightning, which run throughout the exterior of the apartment building.
The design of the sculpture, 38 meters wide and 15 meters high, the property has been painted in dark blue to represent the sea, as well as the exterior distribution of the windows.

La figura, titulada "El Sol" está elaborada en cristal de Murano.
A través de las partículas de cristal adheridas de forma artesanal a su superficie en colores como el amarillo o el rojo, el bajo relieve de Ripollés proyectará una luminosidad diferente a lo largo del día, en función de la proyección de la luz natural, para simular la actividad variable del sol.
La creación de Ripollés para singularizar el edificio se compone de una cara, de 3.000 kilos de peso sólo en su base, así como de siete brazos, equivalentes a los rayos, que recorren todo el exterior de la finca de pisos.
El diseño de la escultura, de 38 metros de ancho y una altura de 15 metros, el inmueble ha sido pintado en azul oscuro para representar el mar, así como la distribución exterior de las ventanas.

This must be an early rendering of the lodge and grounds because the pool eventually ended up on the other side of the lodge, and the room to the left ended up being all windows and rounded on one end. The cabins scattered in the distance is about right, though.
The image represents a year's worth of research for my MRes project entitled, ‘A Property Comparison of Cold Formed and Hot Finished Steel Conveyance Tubes’ sponsored by Tata Steel Tubes, which I completed (and passed) last year.
The main image is made up of all the key sections of my MRes thesis, in order of how they appear in the finished document, from the title page to the literature review to the conclusions and further work. The border is made up of painted, galvanised and uncoated tube samples that I have acquired throughout the last year – I omitted the rusty ones from salt spray testing as they would have stained the carpet!
The image reflects how there are many different aspects to a scientific research project and successfully putting all the pieces into place makes for a good picture, a good story and ultimately a good thesis.

I would much prefer to be social distancing with the wild horses of Utah’s Onaqui herd. I’m growing tired of the social unrest and self-entitlement of Americans who think they know better than the experts. Of course, it doesn’t help when our own President refuses to take the advice of leaders in their field. The antibody tests for Covid 19 are numerous. None of them have been well studied and the FDA waved any scrutiny to get them on the market. That means that many will likely give false positive and false negative results. If you are a false positive, you will be lulled into a sense of security thinking that you are immune to Covid 19 when, in fact, you are not. Almost all hospitals are dealing with grave shortages of protective gear. My colleagues and I are using raincoats as gowns and recycling single use N95 masks. If we are hit with a tidal wave of patients, we will have to choose to let some die. So much for self-entitlement. #WildHorses #Covid19

Lio is a male name, originally from the Greek 'leon', meaning 'lion'.
In Flanders (the northern part of Belgium, where we live) 'Lio' is pronounced the same way as 'Leo' in English.

This flyer announces the brand new exhibition of photos from the flickr@paris's members - or at least 19 of them.
It's entitled "little photographic walk in the 11th - Conceptual Exhibition in 20 points".
The Concept :
At one street corner of the 11th disctrict of Paris, a photographer took a picture of the street in front of him.
Somewhere on that street, on a different corner, another photographer was taking a picture of another street (crossing the first one).
On that second street, a third photographer was taking a picture too.
And so on...
Until the last photographer had the first one in sight.
So from street to street, you'll be able to follow us on a short walk through that neighborhood, in 20 pictures.
It's a first. We don't really know if it's going to work out as an exhibition. But, hey, we had to try.
Not all the spots were really interesting, but the goal is the overall, not the pictures on their own. We'll see.
The map and the pictures will be uploaded on our streams after the opening of the exhibition, the 28th of September.
If you're in Paris at that time, feel free to join for a drink on the opening night or come by during the 3 weeks the exhibition will last.
Here is the list of the photographers who participated, in the same order as on the "little walk" :

Tibetan monk Yeshi Palden created a sand painting in Louisville entitled "Prayer for World Peace." The blue panel in the lower right awaits completion.
** **
Symbolism of the Sand Painting: “A Prayer for World Peace”
The Lotus in the center represents His Holiness the Dalai Lama in the four forms of manifestations.
The Globe and the bird stand for those influential leaders who have made great deeds and contributed to world peace in the past and present.
The central circle of light with four rays of light indicates wisdom and guidance by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other peace champions such as Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr., eliminating ignorance and obstacles preventing serenity and harmony. This light radiates out and influences all the great religions.
By depicting different religious signs is signified the importance of generating peace in the world through religious harmony.
Joining hands of four races with colors of white, yellow, red and black symbolize the value of harmony among different human races.
The landscape of nature and peaceful animals indicates the great need of environmental preservation through all human means.
The depiction of four different elements on each of the directions signifies the impediment of all negative forces of the elements of earth, water, fire and wind. The eight auspicious symbols bring luck and prosperity to all.
- Yeshi Palden 8 April 2008
Mural entitled "A Persistent Thread" by Jonny Alexander for "Murals in the Market" seen in Detroit, Michigan.
The artist explains the work as follows: This image is a personal interpretation of Detroit, where its been and where it's going. A narrative image you can read from left to right lends reference to Detroit's manufacturing past, it's present growth and it's future yet to be known. There is a banner that weaves its way through the whole image from past to future. It's meant to represent the cultural thread that has run through Detroit, with +80% of Detroit's population being black, I see this legacy as being the lifeblood that gives the city it's culture, vitality and creative energy. The banner serves as a reminder to the changing city to recognize and celebrate its cultural legacy.

Although entitled Battersea Power Station there is more than just the power station from this view from Ebury Bridge. There are also the three sheds of the Victoria Light maintenance depot directly beneath the power station plus the multitude of rail lines and train movements in the foreground that lead through the shot and out across the Thames on the Grosvenor rail bridge
Strictly speaking this should really be entitled "Old Lighthouses, Dungeness". The view is of the circular dwellings around the base of partially demolished Wyatt's Tower built in 1792. Wyatt's tower was demolished in 1904 to the level of the keeper's accommodation (if you look closely, the panicle of the conical roof capping off the tower can just be seen) and a new tower (the black tower behind) constructed around the same time. This was the fourth tower built on the Dungeness headland, the fifth and latest is out of shot.
The history is lengthy and worth reading; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness_Lighthouse
I find the area absolutely fascinating and first visited back in the early nineties through contractual work at the nuclear power stations, now largely decommissioned. Right next to the lighthouse is the railway station and turn around loop of the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. Just down the road is an excellent RSPB wildlife reserve and also the iconic Sound Mirrors.
I cannot recommend this area more highly for exploring, it is absolutely fascinating.
