PETTEN - This beautiful Work of Art consists of 160 Poles from six to twelve meters in length. The Poles are in the form of ten Houses and a Church. It is a reminder of Old Petten, which was flooded by the Sea, a long time ago.
What’s that I hear you say?
Don’t be so hasty.
I was facing directly South when I captured this.....
And what you see there is the actual South Pole my friends. Real life.
Looking through my powerful monocular I didn’t realise what I was seeing at first, even thinking it may be some kind of mirage.
But when I fully understood what it was and the import of it, I made sure to capture it by the medium of photography in order that y’all may see it for yourselves and know what it looks like.
I drew a line from the South Pole through the point where I was stood, and behold, directly behind me, about the same distance away is another one. I’m guessing that is the North Pole, but can’t be certain as there were trees in the way.
Not many people have seen the actual South Pole because as you can see it is pretty remote.
But there you have it! No mirage this.
You too have now seen it.
You are welcome.
One last thing I should mention -
If you are thinking of going to see it for yourself, pay no heed to all the stories and old wives tales. It was much, much warmer than they make out - all that losing fingers and toes to uncle Jack Frost, sheer rubbish. I didn’t even feel the need for a coat, let alone gloves.
That said, considering I was equidistant between the North and the South poles, it was also a lot, lot colder than it should have been and so you might want to sport a fleece, but leave the factr 8 at home.
Sigh…..climate change I suppose.
Did I say factor 8? Gosh, I’ll have the sun police on me next……
Spent yesterday afternoon on the hunt for Snowy Owls. After a couple hours I was about to call it quits when I happened upon this fine feathered friend sitting up on top of a telelphone pole. She was kind enough to give me a glance while surveying the surrounding area.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!!
The same pair as in yesterday's shot but ten minutes later. 07.38 am to be precise. Their wings have warmed up by then but they are not particularly flighty and on the wing. The perfect time to get a shot on a warm day like this. Another great time is early evening as they settle and crawl down the long grasses which they also tend to do if its windy.
I was able to kneel and lean on one elbow to steady myself and get some of that beautiful blue sky in shot. I must say they are fairly acrobatic and got into many precarious looking positions to accomplish their driving force...The perpetuation of the species which in this particular area are thriving. Sadly the weather went downhill and the wind so bad we saw none for days afterwards...
A part of Richmond, Virginia where it is best to take the photo from inside the car! I was struck by the name of the business and the power pole and mass of wires just outside the door
All a bit grey and misty here today (though I should have known, we had a cracking sunset that I admired through the kitchen window later on, after giving up on seeing any colour) so always like to take pictures of poles in water in these conditions.
When a picture appears---you need to act! So, I shot this through my windshield while leaving the little town of Liberty Pole in southwest Wisconsin.
The contrast between the two types of transportation, the yellow line, the trio of riders, and their tools in the back of the carriage said push the button!
Notice the horse's ears on either side of the drivers hat!
truck versus carriage
one out muscling the other

Cleo's pole dancing days are long over, nowadays she prefers pole hugging, especially if she can enjoy some sunshine while doing that. She looked quite pleased with herself and the world.
A couple of friends asked me for a photo of the information on the obelisk at Pole Hill in Epping Forest. I knew I had a photo of it somewhere.
Converted to monochrome.
The obelisk on Pole Hill has been photographed many ways. In this take on the shot, I've put it almost out of sight and focus in the top of the image.
Planned for a hard core long exposure today, but found that I had left the remote controller back at home:(
After recommendation from Michael Walsh I have tried to crop out the landscape to give this pole scene a more minimalistic look.
This shot shows my bean poles, vegetable plot, garden shed and the sky reflected in my flexible mirror card.
The Wooden Pole on the Peak District's Longshaw Estate is said to stand on the site of an ancient pole. You can see the pole itself in the distance in the top right corner of this photo. Although periodically replaced by the National Trust, who now own the land, the original pole is believed to have served as a way marker/guide post on an old packhorse route and may also have marked the boundary between the villages of Hathersage and Holmesfield. Whatever its original purpose, it occupies a commanding position beside the A6187, and yet many visitors to the area drive past without even noticing it. However, its status as a landmark gives the whole area of countryside surrounding it the name Wooden Pole.
