Playing with my remote switch and burning my feet on the asphalt! I miss the long tall grass, but we always have fun playing with the big hay bales. Since school is almost out, I've been so busy, but yesterday I just went out to photograph anything to keep my creative juices flowing and to de-stress. Whew, it was hot!
Postbox north of Derwent village beside Ladybower Reservoir.
Ladybower Reservoir is a large Y-shaped reservoir, the lowest of three in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. The River Ashop flows into the reservoir from the west; the River Derwent flows south, initially through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir, and finally through Ladybower Reservoir.
The area is now a popular tourist location, with the Fairholmes visitors' centre located at the northern tip of Ladybower.
Ladybower was built between 1935 and 1943 by the Derwent Valley Water Board to supplement the other two reservoirs in supplying the water needs of the East Midlands. It took a further two years to fill (1945). The dam differs from the Howden Reservoir and Derwent Reservoir in that it is a clay-cored earth embankment, and not a solid masonry dam. Below the dam is a cut-off trench 180 feet (55 m) deep and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide filled with concrete, stretching 500 feet (150 m) into the hills each side, to stop water leaking round the dam. The dam wall was built by Richard Baillie and Sons, a Scottish company. The two viaducts, Ashopton and Ladybower, needed to carry the trunk roads over the reservoir were built by the London firm of Holloways, using a steel frame clad in concrete. The project was delayed when the Second World War broke out in 1939, making labour and raw materials scarce. But construction was continued due to the strategic importance of maintaining supplies. King George VI, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth, formally opened the reservoir on 25 September 1945.
During the 1990s the wall was raised and strengthened to reduce the risk of over-topping in a major flood. The original dam wall contains 100,000 tons of concrete, over one million tons of earth and 100,000 tons of clay for the core. The upstream face is stone faced. Materials were brought to the site on the Derwent Valley Water Board's own branch line and their sidings off the main line in the Hope Valley.
The dam's design is unusual in having two totally enclosed bellmouth overflows (locally named the "plugholes") at the side of the wall. These are stone and of 80 feet (24 m) diameter with outlets of 15 feet (4.6 m) diameter. Each discharges via its own valve house at the base of the dam. The overflows originally had walkways around them but they were dismantled many years ago. The bell mouths are often completely out of the water and are only rarely submerged, often after heavy rainfall or flooding.

All Saints, Crowfield, Suffolk
This pretty little church is as remote from its village as it is from the rest of the world. What is more, it has the only timber-framed chancel in Suffolk. You get to it along a path from the lonely road between Coddenham and Stonham Aspal. The village is a good mile away, along the old Roman road. Beside the church is the site of the former manor house, and the path to the church runs along the edge of the old moat.
You approach the church from the east, through a little gate. What a lovely sight it is! The external east wall is delightful, like a fairy-tale cottage. The early 16th century porch is contemporary with it, but the nave is largely Victorian, by local architect Edward Hakewill, which may fill those of us who have met him before with a sense of foreboding.
There was never a tower, and in fact this church was a chapel of ease to Coddenham until the 20th century. The exterior might lead you to expect a humble, rustic interior, but in fact this pretty little building contains something quite different, for inside is one of Hakewill's best restorations in Suffolk. We get used to Hakewill's dark, gloomy interiors - Shottisham, for example, or Rushmere before George Pace came along. Here, the structure of the building prevented him adding his favoured low north aisle, and instead we have an opulence which is powerful on such a small scale. It is still dark inside, but the low sun through small windows picks out rich woodwork and jewel-like glass. He retained the early 16th Century roof above, arched braces alternating with hammer beams. It is likely that the same carpenters were responsible for the south porch.
High in the west wall is that rare thing in Suffolk, a glass set of royal arms, this one for Victoria and contemporary with Hakewill's work. Ward & Hughes's east window has three small scenes depicting the Resurrection flanked by the raising of Lazarus and the raising of Jairus's daughter. The two outer scenes appear again on the reredos at neighbouring Gosbeck, flanking the Crucifixion. Otherwise, the glass is all decorative, and set as it is among the dark wood you get the feeling of the hall of a large country house: you almost expect to hear a grandfather clock ticking. I wondered if John Betjeman ever visited Crowfield, for I feel sure that he would have loved it.
The carved bench and stall ends are of excellent quality. Sam Mortlock credits them to James Wormald and William Polly. Polly had also worked with Hakewill at Rushmere St Andrew. The restoration was bankrolled by the widow of Sir William Fowle Fowle Middleton of Shrubland Hall. Her husband is remembered on the north wall by his late tenantry, for his high integrity and worth, and it records their high esteem for one who ever promoted their best interests and welfare.
The inscription continues in the grand classical manner of a century earlier. He seems to have been a good bloke. His medallion portrait in profile above renders him noble, as if he had been a Roman senator who retired to the country, and died there, among the grateful peasants whose lives he had chosen to transform. Shrubland Hall later became a self-styled 'spa health farm', but today is closed, and will no doubt now be converted into apartments, as is the way with such things.
The Summit Lawn Mower Company logo represents a company built on the dedication to building the world's greatest remote control lawn mowers. A slope mower with this logo on it insures years of uninterrupted dependability and service. Our remote control lawn mowers are ideal for hills too steep to walk or drive traditional lawn equipment on while being elderly friendly.
With it, I'm in control. I choose what happens. Without it, I'm at the mercy of reality, but with it, I alone decide my fate...
But sometimes, when the batteries run out, I have to press REALLY hard to make it work :(

One of dozens of remote outhouses scattered on beautiful open land around Fort Ord. They used this land for training, and every so often, while walking in the wilderness, I'll come across strange structures, made for various physical drills, like the sawed off telephone poles I saw today, used for rappelling practice long ago.
We couldn't help but be amazed at the remoteness of the terrain and the dryness of the land, despite the sea being al around. (Musandam, Oman, Mar. 2005) (Poor quality as this was my first tryst with digital, due to which I was shooting at a measly 1mpxl resolution)
Found these two remote controls at my grandma's. I thought the one on the right (by Philips) had some design efforts put in, and the Toshiba one looks like some intern just kind of grouped the buttons together and labeled them and called it a day.

Picked myself up one of the Nike+ Remote Control watches. Now I don't have to bend my head round to my arm to try and use the touch screen on my iPhone 3GS when I am running.
