High Peak Optare Solo M920 YJ05WDA (376) seen in Tissington on the 13:15 Buxton-Ashbourne 441.
Changes introduced on this corridor last week saw replacement of the two-hourly service 42 with the twice-daily 441 as the direct link via Tissington and the A515 through Pomeroy and Sterndale Moor. To compensate, the two-hourly, deviation-filled 442 was re-routed to serve Tissington, loosing its trip around Thorpe lane end and Mapleton in the process, this being replaced by a short run from Ashbourne in the form of service 101. Although what was a roughly hourly service could be seen as excessive for this corridor, I suspect the main motivation was DCC attempting to find money for the extra bus needed for the Ashbourne-Matlock changes with the High Peak vehicle which now works the 101/2/3 being what was the third Ashbourne-Buxton vehicle.
The vehicle depicted let the side down however as it evidently has not had its blinds updated, showing what is now a defunct route. The driver pulled up a second or two after this and began inspecting his shedule before changing the blind to show 442 which I suppose is more correct than 42. The Solo has also lost its unoffensive, if bland, Bowers colours in the past year, gaining the repugnant corporate scheme that is Centrebus' Derbyshire Council mobile library-inspired livery instead.

High Roller is a 550-foot tall (167.6 m), 520-foot (158.5 m) diameter giant Ferris wheel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States of America. It is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corporation.
It opened to the public on March 31, 2014 and is currently the world's tallest Ferris wheel. It is 9 ft (2.7 m) taller than its predecessor, the 541-foot (165 m) Singapore Flyer, which had held the record from 2008.
By all appearances one would think this to be some sort of fancy public restroom. Upon closer inspection all the doors are labeled "Danger High Voltage".

St Bartholomew, Ann Street, Brighton, East Sussex
Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.
Philip Larkin, from High Windows, 1973
St Barts, as it is always known, is high church in every sense. A temple of extreme Anglo-catholicism, it is the tallest church in the British Isles. Pevsner wrote of it that this is an unforgettable experience... as far as East Sussex is concerned, it may well be the most moving of all churches.
Rising high above the mundanity of shops and office blocks to the west of dismal London Road, St Barts is one of several vast barns of churches erected in the 19th Century to serve the poor terraced streets of the rapidly expanding town of Brighton. As with the others, it was extremely High Church, a full flowering of the Anglo-Catholicism taking fire in the Church of England in the 1870s, and it has more or less maintained that tradition.
Surprisingly, it was the work of a local architect, Edmund Scott, and bankrolled by the parish priest Arthur Wagner to the tune of £18,000, about three million in today's money. The proportions of width and height are roughly those of Kings College Chapel in Cambridge, except that Scott brilliantly raised the roof to an extraordinary 135 feet, taller than most big churches are long.
The money was easily spent. Indeed, Scott's design was not completed until Henry Wilson, a pupil of JD Sedding, came along at the end of the century. As well as decorating the interior and extending the liturgical east end (actually north), Wilson devised an extraordinarily elaborate plan for the mosaic decoration of the east wall and sanctuary and an extension into a highly decorated lady chapel. Unfortunately, at that point the parish priest of the day was received into the Catholic Church (always a risk in these extreme outposts) and the plan was abandoned.
A further design for the east end was created by Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1930s, but the Second World War intervened, and in fact it remains uncompleted to this day. Henry Wilson's baldachino, which alone cost £2,000, looks rather stark against the bare brickwork of the east wall, but perhaps the drama of it is preferable to what might have been.
Various side chapels are fitted into the near-blank arcades to the liturgical north and south. The most striking of these is the lady altar of silver plate on beaten copper, intended for Wilson's lady chapel which was never built. The best that can be said of the glass, mostly by the Kempe workshop, is that it is unobtrusive. Indeed, the main memory to take away of the windows will be the great western rose window looking out over belittered and graffiti-plastered Providence Place. The urban setting is not propitious.
I last set foot in this church more than thirty years ago. I was a post-graduate student at the University of Sussex. A friend of mine was a young teacher at the adjacent primary school, and although it was clear we had feelings for each other, my absurdly complicated love life at the time persuaded me to keep those feelings at arms length. One day I visited her at the school, and, knowing my fondness for old churches, she asked me if I'd like to see inside. We walked across, and as we stepped into the great nave she wordlessly slipped her hand into mine. Three decades on, as I stood in the same place, I felt the ghost of her hand again.

This is a photo of High Falls State Park not far from Jackson, Georgia. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources website states: "Located northwest of Macon, High Falls State Park is named for tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River. Boat rental, ramps and fishing docks provide easy access to the park’s lake, known as one of Georgia’s top fishing spots for hybrid and white bass. Overnight visitors can choose from a spacious campground or lakeside yurts, which are like canvas and wood tents. Each yurt features a small deck, picnic table and grill outside, plus furniture, electrical outlets and a ceiling fan inside. During summer, guests may cool off in the park’s swimming pool. Visitors can hike along the river’s edge and through hilly forest to the remains of a hydroelectric power plant foundation. In the early 1800s, this area was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a grist mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, shoe factory and hotel. High Falls fell from prosperity in the 1880s when a major railroad bypassed it. Today, the park is a popular camping destination and a relaxing side trip for travelers on I-75."

A unique and ancient Wild Flower Meadow in Sussex
Plant Life, the wild plant conservation charity, has named High Beeches as one of the 7 great gardens to see wild flowers www.plantlife.org.uk/wildflower_garden.
The Wildflower Meadow, or Front Meadow, at High Beeches has been called a meadow since l848, when Sir Robert Loder bought ‘The Beeches’ and in all likelihood was a meadow long before that. It has not been cultivated for at least 80 years and grazing ceased in about l980. The only plants introduced are some narcissi cultivars in about l980 and the original clump of native birches has been replaced with the existing one. Evolving endlessly, some years it is a mass of ox-eye daises and other years the buttercups predominate. Recently the cowslips, Primula veris, the Common Twayblade, Listera ovata, and the Devilsbit Scabious, Succisa pratensis have been on the increase.
The meadow slopes to the southwest and the soil is slightly acid. There are 46 species of wildflower and 13 species of grasses, sedges, rushes and ferns to be found, which have been identified by Arthur Hoare of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society. The meadow attracts a huge number of insects including butterflies and moths.
The meadow is a Site of Nature Conservation Importance, SNCI, one of over 300 in West Sussex. There are 11 plants which are indicators of ancient meadow land, all of which are to be found at High Beeches and they are: Sweet Vernal- grass, Red Clover, Ribwort Plaintain, Red fescue, Crested Dog’s Tail, Red Fescue, Cock’sFoot, Yorkshire Fog, White Clover, Bird’s-foot-trefoil, Common Bent and Common Knapweed.
Maintenance: The grass is cut in August and the hay removed by mechanical means.
The heavy horses from The Working Horse Trust then harrow the meadow to removethe thatch, scatter seed and open up the sward to enable the wildflowers to seed successfully.
Through the Seasons: In April the first meadow grasses flower, one of the first is the Sweet Vernal-grass, Anthoxanthum odoratum followed by the Meadow Foxtail,
The first colour to be seen is yellow from the cowslips then in May the buttercups start to flower followed by the Yellow Rattle, Rhinianthus minor agg., Meadow Vetchling, Lathyrus pratensis and Common Bird’s-foot-trefoil, Lotus cornicula. Late May and June sees the red of Red Clover, Trifolium pratense, pink of the Common Spotted-orchid, Dactylorhiza fuchsia and the whites of the Oxeye Daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare and the Lesser Stitchwort, Stellaria graminea. Later in the summer/early autumn the beautiful Devilsbit Scabious, Succisa pratensis gives parts of the meadow a purple haze.
Many of the wildflowers and grasses in the meadow provide food for the numerous insects, butterflies and moths. Amongst them bees, including Bumble Bees, and hover flies feed on Bird’s-foot-trefoil, Knapweed, Clover, Selfheal, Betony and many more. Cock’s Foot is an important food for the caterpillars of the Ringlet and Large Skipper butterflies. The caterpillars of the Small Skipper feed on Yorkshire Fog and Common Sorrel is a food source for the Small Copper butterfly. Other insects to be seen in the meadow include spiders, beetles, damsel flys, grasshoppers, crickets, ladybirds and dragonflies.
The High Line is an old train track running up and down Manhattan's Lower West Side that has been recently renovated into a public park. Most of the stretch is beautiful, grassy, and exquisitely landscaped, but this one block under a section of neon lights was calling out to me to be photographed. It just seemed to really evoke the old feeling of the industrial meatpacking district that is hiding underneath the tracks.
