The Semaphore Tower is located on Chatley Heath. The Tower was once part of a chain which was used to pass messages between the Admiralty in Whitehall and the Royal Naval Dockyard in Portsmouth , sort of a very early telegraph system using line of sight tower sending messages in Semaphore instead of wires . It was built in 1822 and is now the only restored surviving tower in a line of signalling stations that stretched from London to Portsmouth. The Tower is open to the public once a month between March and September - not sure since Covid though .
HTT folks
We were sitting in traffic and I noticed bubbles
floating around the area. Scanned the scene looking
for a source. This is what I found!
I’ve counted 172 utility poles, 14 of them numbered at the top (front and back) and spaced about every 0.5 miles (0.8 km), on a 5.6-mile (9.0-km) stretch of secondary roadway (the Galien-Buchanan Road) in southern Berrien County, Michigan. The numbers, black on a yellow background, range from 17 (at the west end) to 30 (at the east end). I assume this numbering system means something to maintenance crews.
This hilltop graveyard serves the villages of Arthurstown & Ballyhack. I was trying to find the graves of some sailors who perished when the American sailing ship Alfred D. Snow foundered on rocks near Loftus Hall in 1888 with the loss of 29 crewmen. The body of the ship's captain W.H. Wilby was washed ashore in Arthurstown & several of the men were buried in Ballyhack graveyard. Sadly I couldn't find their graves but I will go back to look again.
This article inspired my visit www.independent.ie/regionals/newrossstandard/news/snow-sh... Capt. Wilby's great-granddaughter came over to Ireland from Maine recently for the ceremony & there is a fine commemoration plaque at the graveyard entrance (see next photo)

1982 Reliant Scimitar GTE.
Fitted with a 2900cc engine according to the DVLA (probably the larger Cologne V6 from the Scorpio).
Goats volunteer for anything including a Tongue Tuesday photo, provided that you pay them with treats. I didn't have any but there were many kids who fed them and that worked too. :)
I remarked recently that since joining the Telegraph Tuesday group I seem to see the things everywhere, usually spoiling a good landscape shot. Here's a case in point: the view into the Clydach gorge from Gilwern Hill. What a shot this would be without those lines.
Then again, I wouldn't be able to use it for telegraph Tuesday then. HTT!
951 HTT 951, a 1962 AEC Reliance/Marshall turns into Newton Abbot bus station on 88 in this delightful postcard picture. I can't remember where I bought it now. It must have been painted/created after suffixes deleted in fleet numbers.
From dear, sweet Zinnia.
I pared down 37 tongue shots from her couple of days to these eight. I'll tuck the rest in her set, hopefully later today.
All clickable, of course.
