One from last year. A much photographed location but I couldn't resist those clouds and that view of Plymouth.
Mount Edgcumbe House is the former home of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. It is set in Grade I Cornish Gardens within 865 acres of Country Park on the Rame Peninsula, South East Cornwall.
The House was first built in the 1500s and was restored after World War Two. It is jointly owned by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council and is one of the region’s most popular historic tourist destinations.
The formal gardens are found in the lower park and were created over 200 years ago in the English, French and Italian styles.
A folly comprising a deliberately ruined stone tower incorporating medieval architectural fragments from the churches of St George and St Lawrence in Stonehouse, stands to the south-east of the house, among mature specimen stone pines. The folly was constructed in 1747 as a picturesque feature in place of a navigation obelisk.
On a visit to South Wales in August 1988, I found this Sentinel 0-6-0 shunter at Deep Navigation Colliery dealing with coal hoppers that would depart once laoded as the 6B70 18:55 SCN [Speedlink Coal Network] service to Radyr Junction. What a pity the shunter had been defaced by the white paint markings 'CMA 4000' whatever it was meant to signify?

A young beautiful lady goes along the street on windy and snowy winter day. She studies her tablet PC to be on the right course. A good example of instrumental navigation in storm. Candid street photo or a portrait of the pretty young woman. May the happiness be with her.
