This beautiful desert plant from Mexico was first described scientifically by William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865) in 1856. It had been long neglected - more than half a century - at the Kew Gardens, as Hooker writes, and had come into their possesion through the good offices of Jacques Philippe Martin Cels (1740-1806) of Paris, self-taught botanist who during the French Revolution had lost his job as a tax collector.
It was 'rediscovered' by Charles Christopher Parry (1823-1890), a botanist and mountaineer, and Edward Palmer (1829-1911) during an expedition into Mexico in San Luis Potosi. Their herbarium specimen of 1878 is still extant. You can see a picture of it on the Tropicos website. But live is always better! Here it is in Amsterdam's fine Hortus Botanicus.
Things may go bump in the night........ deep, deep, deep in the very darkest parts of the Forest......an ancient Hornbeam stirs on this night of all nights. Un-pollarded for over a century it will take vengeance for this neglect and throw a mighty hunk of deadwood your way. It will devour the soul..of your shoe (or boot) and go hell bent for leather to find another. Do not look this hideous beast in the eyes for it will find your inner sanctums, your shyness and insecurity and beat you to a pulp with its mighty wisdom. Its weighty limbs will crush you with one blow and bury you in the ground to nourish the soil where its gnarly buttress roots await refreshment. Do not run, do not hide and do not sleep for the arboreal ghoul will find you a treat....and it doesnt like flippin Haribo or Smarties. Okay?
Kicking up fresh snow from the day before, NS 181 rolls down the hill west of Philo at track speed. The lead engine, PRLX 208 was built in 1995 as ATSF 208 and still remains in its original paint, aside from the markings covering its heritage.
“The reason the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices it on a daily basis.”

... at Merrivale Quarry, Dartmoor, UK.
Tony & I investigated and were blown away by the abandoned quarry at Merrivale on Dartmoor, such history there and so many photo opportunities. Sadly the elements conspired against us and a particularly heavy and lengthy downpour had us scuttling back to the car and off to Princetown for breakfast but, we'll be back.

This old neglected farmhouse is on its last leg but still guards the farmer's hay - even has a fence for a HFF!

You don’t need to wander far off the main streets to see the areas left to rot . This was the old fish and tackle shop we used to go to as kids , it had a great collection of pocket knives as I remember.
Great for making bow and arrows and just messing around in our local woods as we did on a daily basis back then.
Somewhere in Belgium under the city, is a tunnel system full of old buses and other vehicles.
A short tour with Mike, Andrew and John. Taking in some revisits and some new spots.
