County Mayo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Knock Shrine is in Mayo, close to the border with County Roscommon. Mayo is also home to Croagh Patrick, a mountain where St Patrick is said to have fasted for forty days and nights, although worship connected with the mountain is believed to have preceded the arrival of Christianity.

They last won the Sam Maguire Cup in 1951, when the team was captained by Seán Flanagan. Mayo's most recent All-Ireland final losses have been in 1989, 1996, 1997, 2004 and 2006. They defeated a hotly tipped Dublin team in the 2006 All Ireland Semi Final; In what match commentators said was one of the best games ever in Croke Park, Mayo won by one point.

Yesterday I spent a lot of time trying to track down information on this bench, and then for any other photo of the bench that might take me to a useful link....I gave up.
However, I am persistent, and this morning I searched for what was written as a heading on the bench i.e. Esk Coastal Habitat, and way down the URL list I spotted "There Is Another Alphabet - Invisible Dust", I nearly didn't click, but luckily I did and bingo!
invisibledust.com/projects/thereisanotheralphabet
And so discovered there are three three ‘There is another alphabet‘ benches, so we missed the other two; and that they date from 2022, so much newer than we realised.
The title comes from a poem by Dejan Stojanovic: “There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky.”
The link above has a pictorial map showing where the benches are.
As part of Wild Eye, the three sculptural benches were situated around Whitby Harbour, and were created with designs by local people about the wildlife of the Esk Estuary in collaboration with artists Juneau Projects.
BTW the list cross references to what is shown on bench - I have highlighted A, B and C with notes.
A. Beadlet anemone
B. Bottlenose dolphin
C. Cod
...
S. Sandwich tern - I think that might have been on the back.

I hiked several miles up onto the new section of the Foothills Parkway last January before it opened up to make these pictures. I believe it is one of the prettiest views of the Smoky Mountains particularly since you can drive there now that it is open.
This section of the parkway is known as the "Missing Link"
Please click "L: to see it on black where it can be fully appreciated. Thanks:)

A heavy chain suspended from our Yew tree. We inherited it when we moved in. I suspect it was used in some kind of paint spraying operation.
