Another result of experimenting with Hipstamatic's new features. I'm not 100% in love with this—I forgot to turn my iPhone's auto-rotate on, which made this picture come out sideways, and then when I rotated it while editing it came out a little squashed vertically (Lord knows why), and though Hipstamatic has a function to fix that...it wouldn't save my unsquashed result. :^[ I'm not one to complain about app updates—at least, I try not to be—but all the hiccups in this new version of Hipstamatic are really irritating.
As you drive towards Boulby this new(ish) viaduct is a prominent feature, maybe not so easy to photograph! Boulby - Tees Yard loaded potash, between Loftus and Skinningrove.
Sofus Loftus, the Listening Troll, is part of the "Trolls: Save the Humans" exhibition by Danish artist Thomas Dambo at Filoli Gardens in Woodside, California. Built from reclaimed wood, Sofus sits quietly, mindful of nature and all its beings. He was the first to notice that something was wrong with the rhythm of the earth, reminding us to slow down, listen, and care for the delicate balance of our environment.

And they don't come off with the washer fluid either. You have to *scrub* the windshield. By the time I got to Great Falls, I could barely see through the splattered bodies and bug guts.
Unfortunately we suffered a very heavy 184 run defeat to Loftus CC.
We did have a very young team out so I guess this is called character building.

Thank you for having a look.
I had fun shooting this, but had to lay in the center of the road for it. I was expecting someone to rush out of one of the nearby buildings wondering if I was ok. It had to look a little strange, but only to non photographer types.
The graduated blur / vingetting in the Loftus lens is so cool.
Located at The Hook Peninsula, Co. Wexford
Loftus Hall is a large mansion house on the Hook peninsula, County Wexford, Ireland that is said to have been haunted both by the devil and by the ghost of a young woman. The Redmond family built the original building in about 1350 during the time of the Black Death. It replaced their original castle at Houseland near Portersgate. The Hall became the property of the Loftus family in the 1650s as a result of the Cromwellian confiscations and this was confirmed after the Restoration of King Charles II of England by the Act of Settlement of 1666. The building that exists today was built between 1870 and 1871 by the 4th Marquess of Ely. In 1917 Loftus Hall was bought by the Sisters of Providence and turned into a convent and a school for young girls interested in joining the order. In 1983, it was purchased by Michael Deveraux who reopened it as "Loftus Hall Hotel", which was subsequently closed again in the late 1990s. It is now privately owned by Deveraux's surviving family.
The name 'Loftus Hall' is also applied to the townland surrounding the mansion.
Charles Tottenham (1716-10 Sept. 1795) and his family came to live in the mansion in the middle of the 18th century. Charles Tottenham's first wife had been the Honourable Anne Loftus (the second daughter of the 1st Viscount Loftus, she lived from 8 Nov. 1718 to 10 Nov. 1768), and by her (with three surviving sons) had two daughters Anne (d. 1 or 9 Nov. 1775) and Elizabeth (c1742-1827). According to Rick Whelan's film version of the story, the date was July 1762.
Charles came for a long stay in the house with his second wife, (in 1770 he had married his cousin Jane (d. 1798) daughter of John Cliffe and widow of Rev. Joshua Trench of Bryanstown, co. Wexford), and his daughter Anne from his first marriage. During a storm, a ship unexpectedly arrived at the Hook Peninsula, which was not far from the mansion. A young man was welcomed into the mansion. Anne and the young man became very close. Then, one night they were in the parlour; around this time it was not well-mannered for a girl to play cards, but Anne insisted and she played. When a card was dropped on the floor she went to pick it up, and she noticed that the young man had a hoof in place of a foot.
It is said that Anne screamed and the man went up through the roof in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a large hole in the ceiling. Anne was in shock and was put in her favourite room in the mansion, which was known as the Tapestry Room. She refused food and drink. She died in the Tapestry Room in 1775. A rumour states that the hole could never be properly repaired, and it is alleged that even to this day, there is still a certain part of the ceiling which is slightly different from the rest. This, of course, is a myth, since the present house was built more than a century after the evnts described above. Meanwhile it was believed that the stranger with the cloven hoof returned to the house and caused persistent poltergeist activity. A number of Protestant clergymen apparently tried and failed to put a stop to this. The family, who were themselves Protestants, eventually called on Father Thomas Broaders (a Catholic priest, who was also a tenant on the Loftus Hall estate) to exorcise the house which he managed to do in spite of fierce opposition from at least one of the hostile spirits. The success of Broaders led to many concessions being made to local Catholics whose religion was still technically illegal. Fr. Broaders was parish priest of the surrounding area from 1724 to 1773.
Father Broaders' gravestone exists today and it is popularly - but erroneously - believed that on it is written, "Here lies the body of Thomas Broaders, who did good and prayed for all, and who banished the devil from Loftus Hall". Broaders was buried in a half Protestant, half Catholic graveyard not far from Hook Head.
The apparent success of Father Broaders' exorcism did not end the ghostly visitations at Loftus Hall. The ghost of a young woman, presumed to be Anne Tottenham, was reported to have made frequent appearances in the old Hall, especially in the Tapestry Room, until the building was finally demolished in 1871.
Although the present Loftus Hall is an entirely new building, interest in the ghost story has remained strong and many aspects of the story seem to have attached themselves to the newer house
Here's a odd ball one. I seem to recall that there was some sort of road closure on Loftus Bank so a couple of Ford Transits were used to operate a shuttle service. Can't recall if it was an outright closure or a weight restriction. I took a photo of one of the Transits outside Loftus depot and have no idea how the depot allocation made it around the other side of the bank to undertake their duties.
Clearly never thought to snap the Ley Nat Greenway in the background though,
"Lava slugs at the south wing!"
Loftus Base is a research outpost for study of the mysterious lifeforms that inhabit the volcanic streams of Graidarrn. Among these fascinating creatures are the long-lived lava slugs, monolithic gastropods that dwell in molten lakes.
This is my entry for the Eurobricks Microspace contest, wish me luck! (Because these photos are HORRIBLE!)
