Prospect Cottage is a house on the coast in Dungeness, Kent. Originally a Victorian fisherman's hut, the house was purchased by director and artist Derek Jarman in 1986, and was his home until his death in 1994
Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices ;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world's contracted thus ;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere
This poem by John Donne is engraved on the end of the house and always brings a smile to my face when I see it and sit and read it

Green heron - - - - - - ( Butorides virescens.)
A small, stocky wading bird, the Green Heron is common in wet spots across much of North America. It can be difficult to see as it stands motionless waiting for small fish to approach within striking range, but it frequently announces its presence by its loud squawking
The Green Heron is part of a complex of small herons that sometimes are considered one species. When lumped, they are called Green-backed Heron. When split, they are the Green Heron, the widespread Striated Heron, and the Galapagos Heron.

Derek Jarman Garden Prospect Cottage
Derek Jarman (1942-1994) was an English film director who made a famous garden on the shingle shore near Dungeness nuclear power station. Jarman believed that the Pilot Inn, nearby, provides “Simply the finest fish and chips in all England". The garden design style is postmodern and highly context-sensitive - a complete rejection of modernist design theory. He disliked the sterility of modernism; he despised its lack of interest in poetry, allusion and stories; he deplored the techno-cruelty exemplified in Dr. D. G. Hessayon's 'How to be an expert' series of garden books. Jarman's small circles of flint reminded him of standing stones and dolmens. He remarked that 'Paradise haunts gardens, and some gardens are paradises.
First day of February; a blizzard had come through, but we were less impacted than other parts pf the country.
As much as I have snowy shots from Peggy's I also have a few from Prospect as well. I don't think I could ever tire of photographing my favourite places as everytime I get something completely different. I love the way the ice is breaking around the rocks in this shot and the light on the shacks in the distance.
The Prospect of Whitby is London’s oldest riverside pub dating back to 1520. The original flagstone floor survives and the pub also has a rare pewter-topped bar, as well as old barrels and ships’ masts built into the structure. The pub was originally frequented by lightermen, watermen and others who made their living on the river and at sea. It was a notorious haunt for smugglers, thieves and pirates. Famous customers include Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys, ‘Hanging’ Judge Jeffries and the artists Whistler and Turner. It used to be called The Pelican, but was also known as The Devil’s Tavern. Judge Jeffries lived nearby and a noose hangs by a window, commemorating his custom. According to legend, criminals would be tied up to the posts at low tide and left there to drown when the tide came in.
The most-photographed property in Dungeness, I should think -"Prospect Cottage".
Prospect Cottage is the former home and sanctuary of artist, filmmaker, gay rights activist and gardener Derek Jarman (1942 - 1994).

This is the cottage where artist and film maker Derek Jarman spent the last five years of his life, making this beautiful garden. The garden has no boundaries and it is free to visit and admire. It is possible to visit the cottage - but only by prior booking.
It is just a short walk along the road from the last shot >>>
With the prospect of spending a few days working at the family home I packed the camera gear on the off chance I might get to graze on pastures last visited with serious intent almost four decades ago.
A sunny Thursday evening was too good to ignore and after snapping the tea-time oils a couple of hours earlier, I figured it might be worth putting the sundown light and a forgiving digital camera to use. Whether it was good use or not is open to debate but in this shot DBS Tug 60015 is seen applying the power as it leaves the loop at Boots Bridge and approaches Beeston station with the 17.13 Lindsey Refinery - Kingsbury (6M24) loaded oils. Although tree-lined for most of the way helpfully there are still a few spots where the sun wins through and, perhaps fittingly, catches the driver.
Nottingham city skyline is visible through the heat-haze and some of the smart properties on view lie in the upmarket area called The Park. Much nearer in, and at lower left, the gable-end just about visible is that of the old goods shed - surprisingly still standing but now almost invisible from this angle due to the growth in vegetation.
