A composition in steel by local sculptor David Jensz at this year's Sculpture by the Sea. Unexcitedly titled, 'Level', according to the blurb it's a statement on anticipated sea level rise (it might be rusted by then).
Well nearly anyway. Roxy is very good at sitting still, but this was a challenge. The mini-level is just a round barrel so any movement would cause it to roll off. This is as good as I could get as she was tiring of my instructions. Bless.
As I descended, the view over Muker meadows disappeared and the two barns "rose up" against the background of Ivelet Side.
We were in Mauritius as they headed into Winter and the breeding plumage of male birds was fading. This fody would be a uniform vibrant red around the head, breast and underside in Spring/Summer. Photographed at Troup D'Eau Douce, Mauritius. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
I forgot to post this one yesterday. We started our day on the Levels with a walk along the River Tone, near Ham.

A minor level crossing near Worsbrough on the Worsbrough branch, that linked Wath with Barnsley Junction at Penistone, that was once part of the 1500DC Woodhead system.
This section of the Woodhead route closed to all traffic just after 1pm on 17th July 1981, after the passage of the Wath branch bankers which were 76012 and 76007.
The Worsbrough branch now forms the 9 mile Dove Valley Trail that runs from Silkstone Common towards Wombwell passing through Dodworth and Worsborough and forms part of the National Trans Pennine Trail.

Six Mile Creek was really rushing. Stormy conditions made for muddy water but the leaves were still on the trees.

L'Orologio Astronomico di Praga o Prague Orloj, in ceco Staroměstský Orloj (Orologio della città vecchia) è un orologio astronomico medioevale situato nella città di Praga, capitale della Repubblica Ceca. L'orologio è montato sul lato sud del municipio della Città Vecchia, nella Piazza della Città Vecchia ed è una delle più importanti attrazioni turistiche della città.
Il meccanismo è composto da tre elementi principali: il quadrante astronomico, sul quale, oltre all'ora, sono rappresentate le posizioni in cielo del Sole e della Luna, insieme ad altre informazioni astronomiche; il "Corteo degli Apostoli", un meccanismo che, allo scoccare di ogni ora, mette in movimento delle figure rappresentanti i 12 Apostoli; e un quadrante inferiore composto da 12 medaglioni raffiguranti i mesi dell'anno.
Il calendario posto al di sotto dell'orologio astronomico è stato aggiunto nel 1870 ed è una copia del dipinto del pittore boemo Josef Manes. È formato da dodici medaglioni raffiguranti scene di vita rurali associate ai dodici mesi dell'anno, i personaggi ai lati del calendario raffigurano le principali materia dell'epoca: il primo sapiente in fondo a destra che legge il libro simboleggia la filosofia, il secondo sapiente che reca in mano un cannocchiale simboleggia l'astronomia. Mentre a sinistra, la prima figura raffigura un angelo con la spada e scudo,simboleggia la teologia, l'ultimo studioso in fondo a sinistra che esamina la pergamena simboleggia la matematica.

The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj [praʒskiː ɔrlɔi]) is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, at 50°5′13.23″N 14°25′15.30″E. The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months
The four figures flanking the clock are set in motion at the hour, these represent four things that were despised at the time of the clock's making. From left to right in the photographs, the first is Vanity, represented by a figure admiring himself in a mirror. Next, a stereotypical Jew holding a bag of gold represents greed or usury. Across the clock stands Death, a skeleton that strikes the time upon the hour. Finally, the infidel Turk wears the Turban.
There is also a presentation of statues of the Apostles at the doorways above the clock, with all twelve presented every hour.
