Sadly without the signature location rondel on top of the fingerpost, Bussey Stool is one of the strangest of strange names to be found within the county of Dorset. Bussey Stool is a farm, whilst Bussey Stool Park is a kilometre further on through Bloody Shard Gate.
I can find nothing about the origin of the word 'bussey' whilst 'stool' is from the Old English stōl (“chair, seat, throne”). At the 'park', the Ordnance Survey map shows remains of an Iron Age hill fort that crowns Bussey Down. It is apparently also sometimes known as Caesar's Camp no doubt due to the proximity of a Roman Road. There is no public access to the site being on a large estate of a well-known local bigwig and the nearest right-of-way is almost half a kilometre away.
Granada is a pretty good jumping-off point for ski vacations in the nearby Sierras Nevada mountains.

Update: Here's a brief description of my Geotagging (Embedding the Geographical information to the photo) process.
1. I have a small portable GPS Data Logger (Globalsat DG-100) in my camera bag at all times. A GPS Data Logger is a relatively cheap device, and it doesn't have an LCD screen or any real time MAP features, but what this device does is when activated it records my location on an interval time. It has three customizable time settings, for example when I'm riding my bicycle I set it to every 30 seconds. The device can run for many hours, even days, logging my whole trip in every 30 seconds. The GPS Data Logger records the location based on the local satellite time.
2. This step is very important. You have to set your camera's time and date carefully. What I do, which seems to work fine, is to set my camera to the time on www.timeanddate.com on local time. Just search for the city you're in and set your camera's time to that.
3. When I get to a computer I download the logged GPS info and export a GPX or KMV file. These files can be used in any application that supports GPS, such as Google Earth. You can see your whole trip in Google Earth by opening these files. To dowload the log files from the device I use the software that comes with it, but other devices like Sony's (see below) are easier to work with.
4. Time to attach the GPS information to photos. I use a software called RoboGeo which is great. You open a bunch of images, and then you open the GPS log file (from step 3) and RoboGeo automatically matches the time your photo is taken to the GPS log file and can stamp the file with the GPS info. So the GPS information is embedded to the image file's EXIF info without changing anything else.
The only complaint I have about RoboGeo is that it doesn't support RAW files. It does however support TIF and JPG files, so I Geotag my 16bit TIF converted photos or the final web ready JPG files. When you upload the Geotagged JPG files to flickr, they automatically show up on the map. Very cool indeed!
4a. RoboGeo is poweful application, and one the fun things you can do with it is exporting a KMV file with embedded images, so you see your photos show on Google Earth and other application and website (like www.gpsvisualizer.com)
Here's our trip when the photo above was taken.
Resources: There are other GPS Loggers out there too, like Sony's GPS-CS1. Here's a great comparison and review of the two products.

There is just so many things wrong with this whole concept that I hardly know where to start..........
....so I'll just point out that in England it should be "arse". "Ass" is the American spelling.

Beaufort 2003
Artistic jack-of-all-trades Jan Fabre created Searching for Utopia in 2003 for the Beaufort art festival. The theme of the very first edition of this triennial was 'art by the sea'. Fabre created an enormous sea turtle based on bronze. On top of the animal he depicted himself as a kind of rider. The artist emphasizes the fact that man continues to search for Utopia throughout his life. The work of art originally stood on the Zeedijk near Lefebvrestraat. However, it suffered from corrosion by sand and the salty sea wind. A move was necessary. The turtle was removed in May 2014 for a thorough restoration. The turtle was given a protective layer of gold leaf. On July 9, 2018, Searching for Utopia was inaugurated again on the square in front of Centrum Ysara. The statue sits on top of a water feature.

John Ballendine built this finely proportined Georgian house, Rockledge, circa 1760. William Buckland, a premier colonial Chesapeake architect reportedly designed it. Rockledge is a rare example of a Tidewater Virginia stone dwelling. Several entrepreneurs who sought to maximize Occoquan's potential as a port and commercial center resided here over time.

Slightly damaged BR Class 126 DMU leaving Glasgow Central station in a cloud of blue smoke, in summer 1976.
The class survived in service until 1986, and some were later exported to Liberia for use as staff transport by a mining company.
One complete three-car set, and another carriage, have been preserved, at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway.

....a red blood night.
Saturday Timewatch this week is inspired by recent posts from Rob and Ray that included a reference to either Transaero or Zenit FC (St. Petersburgh)
It was 2008 and the day of the EUFA Cup Final in Manchester. Here Transaero B747 VP-BQC touches down at Ringway, one of numerous Russian aircraft bringing Zenit fans into town for the match. The aircraft lasted another 3 years before going into storage and was eventually broken up at Rome Griffiss International (USA) in June 2015.
To this day, I'm delighted to report that Zenit won 2-0 against Glasgow Rangers. Why? Over 100,000 Glasgow Rangers fans, many would say "scum", descended on Manchester, most without tickets. They absolutely trashed the city centre. Police officers fought running battles with the thugs throughout the night and there were many injuries. Cars were vandalised and shop windows smashed in. As the following day dawned, the city was strewn with broken glass and the detritus of many hours of rioting. A dozen people were eventually sentenced with this quote from the judge "By 8.45pm that evening Piccadilly Gardens had become a battleground. Riot police were deployed and struggled to contain the trouble and restore order. What followed was the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz"
Conversely : Sharon Gibson, the Rangers fan who saved a police officer from serious injury, was awarded £200 from the public purse for what the judge called her ‘enormous courage’
Zenit fans were largely well behaved. Fortunately they were also largely out of the way of the mayhem as the vast majority had tickets for the match so were isolated from being attacked when things really kicked off.
(Note : I'll add that being a football fan I've seen plenty of incidents over the years but nothing remotely on the scale of what happened that night)
Quan la quantitat regna per sobre la qualitat.
Gràcies, EudaldCJ pel títol!
================
When quantity reigns over quality.
The Spanish term 'vino peleón' (which colud be translated to fighter or quarrelsome wine) refers to the rough tasting, low qualilty cheap wine usually sold in large quantities.
Thanks, EudaldCJ for the title!
Remarkable! In the world of modern civil aviation, it is always a pleasure when there are just two people sitting in a row of three seats. Even more unusual is getting a row of three seats to yourself. So I have to go back some years to board a plane where I could choose a seat with no-one sitting in the other 8 seats across the aisles; no-one sitting in the 9 seat row in front of me and just one person in the 9 seat row behind. In fact there were just 11 passengers in the c100 seat Economy Cabin of UA5 from IAH Houston to LHR London Heathrow. Result!!!
Ironically, the 'sharp end' looked rather full in quite a large Business Class area. Also the Economy Plus cabin to which airlines now always try to get you to pay extra, was about 75% full.

In 1869 a small group of German Lutherans gathered in Richmond to found St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. At that time there were two other Lutheran congregations in the city worshiping in the German language. In 1876 the members of the fledgling congregation changed their name to First English to emphasize the fact that they were committed to ministry in the English language; in 1911 they made a bold move in building a new church at Stuart Circle on Monument Avenue, which at that time was at the western limits of the city.

J69 68619 - the 'East Side Pilot' - at Liverpool Street station in 1960, ready to haul the R.C.T.S. 'Great Eastern Suburban Rail Tour', on a cold, wet, smoggy day in November 1960.
The loco is in its usual immaculate condition, in Great Eastern Railway lined blue livery, with the company crest below the BR number.. The highly-polished side tank is showing the reflections of people on the platform..
68619 was withdrawn in 1961, and - sadly - scrapped almost immediately..
The only remaining example is 68633, preserved as GER No. 87, currently at the National Railway Museum.
Today, this is all buried under concrete, steel, and glass..

BR Standard 3MT 2-6-2T 82029 on parcels duties at Waterloo station, on a cold sunny day in February 1967.
The loco lasted until the end of SR steam, in July 1967, and actually hauled one of the very last steam services from Waterloo, after being substituted for a failed loco at short notice.
82029 was scrapped in early 1968, and none of the class were preserved, but there is an active project to build a 'new' example, at the Severn Valley Railway.
