Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Its ruins, a grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument, are open as a visitor attraction.
The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184, but subsequently rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England.
Black tailed Godwit - Limosa Limosa
These large wading birds are a Schedule 1 species. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they're more greyish-brown.
Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak (which helps the sexes to avoid competing for food with each other).
They're very similar to bar-tailed godwits, which breed in the Arctic. Black-tailed godwits have longer legs, and bar-tailed godwits don't have striped wings. As the names suggest, the tail patterns are different, too.
Black-tailed godwits are much more likely to be found on inland wetlands than the more coastal bar-tailed godwit. They migrate in flocks to western Europe, Africa, south Asia and Australia. Although this species occurs in Ireland and Great Britain all year-round, they are not the same birds. The breeding birds depart in autumn, but are replaced in winter by the larger Icelandic race. These birds occasionally appear in the Aleutian Islands and, rarely, on the Atlantic coast of North America.
There is an estimated global population of between 634,000 and 805,000 birds and estimated range of 7,180,000 square kilometres (2,770,000 sq mi). In 2006 BirdLife International classified this species as Near Threatened due to a decline in numbers of around 25% in the previous 15 years. It is also among the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
In Europe, black-tailed godwits are only hunted in France, with the annual total killed estimated at 6,000 to 8,000 birds. This puts additional pressure on the western European population, and the European Commission has a management plan in place for the species in its member states. In England, black-tailed godwits were formerly much prized for the table. Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682) said: "[Godwits] were accounted the daintiest dish in England and I think, for the bignesse, of the biggest price."
Population:
UK breeding:
54-57 pairs of the limosa 'Eurasian' subspecies, and 7-9 pairs of the islandica subspecies
UK wintering:
44,000 birds from the Icelandic population
UK passage:
12,400 birds
Europe:
99-140,000 pairs

The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184 but subsequently rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. The abbey controlled large tracts of surrounding land and was instrumental in major drainage projects on the Somerset Levels. The abbey was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England. The last abbot, Richard Whiting (Whyting), was hanged, drawn and quartered as a traitor on Glastonbury Tor in 1539.

Missouri City, MO
Completed in 1810 by John Rennie, the spectacular Dundas Aqueduct carries the Kennet & Avon Canal over the River Avon and is a Scheduled Monument. It was the first canal structure to be designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1951.
Named after Charles Dundas, the first chairman of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, the aqueduct forms the junction between the Kennet and Avon Canal and the largely derelict Somerset Coal Canal. The short stretch of the Somerset Coal Canal still in water forms Brassknocker Basin, used for boat moorings, cycle hire and a cafe. A short walk further there is the Dundas Wharf where the small tollhouse, warehouse and crane still stand.
Excerpt from www.insidehalton.com/news/metrolinx-new-drury-lane-pedest...:
The new Drury Lane pedestrian bridge opened to the public Oct. 31, 2025 after almost eight months of construction and five weeks behind schedule.
Andrea Ernesaks, Metrolinx senior media relations manager, confirmed on Monday, Nov. 3, the new pedestrian bridge connecting Drury Lane to Orpha Court over the railway tracks will stay open. It is safe for use by cyclists and pedestrians, while “minor finishing works will be taking place over the coming months.”
Anticipated work in the area during the next four to five months, according to a notice on the Metrolinx website, includes landscaping and restoration to the construction area.
Metrolinx started the project with demolition of the original 53-year-old bridge on March 7. An original Sept. 26 opening was delayed.
Burlington cycling advisory committee member Corey Finnigan said he rode over the new bridge for the first time Tuesday, Nov. 4.
“The ramps are not as steep as they were and the corners are 90 degrees instead of 180. So overall the bridge is much easier to navigate on a bike or with a stroller or shopping cart,” Finnigan stated in an email.
He said he’s happy he can once again cross the railway at Drury Lane and Orpha Street rather than having to use busier Burlington streets.
Finnigan said he’d assess how slippery the new bridge deck is once some snow and ice is added this winter but “so far, under dry and well-lit conditions, the new bridge is wonderful.”
The Metrolinx website noted a single bridge upgrade may not seem like a big deal, but the crossing provides “a vital connection point” to surrounding neighbourhoods.
“The new and improved structure will not only help residents and customers better access nearby Burlington GO Station and local amenities, but it also provides a crucial link for students who cross the rail corridor every day to get to and from the local elementary school just south of the bridge,” the post stated.
Benefits of the new bridge:
1. Improved pedestrian access and safety across the rail corridor
2. Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act compliance
3. Allows for potential electrification infrastructure to be incorporated into the rail corridor in the future
Bearded Reedling - Panurus Biarmicus
aka Bearded Tit. (M)
A Schedule 1 Bird.
This species is a wetland specialist, breeding colonially in large reed beds by lakes or swamps. It eats reed aphids in summer, and reed seeds in winter, its digestive system changing to cope with the very different seasonal diets.
Often having to take grit in order to help digestion.
The bearded reedling is a species of temperate Europe and Asia. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate other than eruptive or cold weather movements. It is vulnerable to hard winters, which may kill many birds. The English population of about 500 pairs is largely confined to the south and east with a small population in Leighton Moss in north Lancashire. In Ireland a handful of pairs breed in County Wexford. The largest single population in Great Britain is to be found in the reedbeds at the mouth of the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where there may be in excess of 250 pairs.
Other Breeding areas include Norfolk and Somerset.
Population:
UK breeding:
630 pairs
Europe:
232 - 437,000 birds
The Zillertalbahns freight services are still going strong three years after the resumption of service. The trains schedule remains basically the same with a approximately 7:30 departure from Jenbach to Fügen which works out well in the long summer days. Unlike last year I got the freight on the first attempt. The train is seen here entering the Ziller Valley at Strass.

All is quiet on the UP Montana Sub as the sun drops below the horizon, with the temps quickly following. In theory these old US&S Co signals are standing tall for a MPCSB which should be passing through in the dark, although it seems the train “schedules” have changed since summer. The silver lining is the signals and EMD’s have stayed.. three sets of 40’s in the UP yard is enough to make any railfan happy. I’m excited to cut my teeth in Idaho Falls, but it is shaping up that my time here may be shorter than initially anticipated.. for better or for worse, this baby bird has a year until it chases the money out of the nest.
Crater Lake’s East Rim Drive received a much-needed renovation last summer. It was scheduled to be closed for the entire season (it closes every year in the winter anyway) but opened on my last day there in late September. With its opening also came access to Mt Scott, making me one of the first people all year to get this view from the summit of Crater Lake’s highest point. The view of the lake is also pretty cool from up here, but I’ve posted several of those images already. The road to the upper right leads to Cloud Cap Overlook, the highest point on the rim of the caldera and spectacular spot to watch the sunset.
memories from our visit to the Orkneys. This beautiful little plane is the trusted transport of choice if you want to hop from Westray island to sister island Papa Westray. The flight lasts about SIXTY SECONDS and is listed in the Guinness book of records as the World's shortest scheduled flight. We even got a certificate for that :)) And as you can see, this little plane is the island's postman and lifeline as well.

One of the upsides of moving all of my classes online during the pandemic this past year has been the new flexibility in my schedule. During the normal season at the college, many of my weekends would have been taken up with competitions, festivals and workshops, all of which, sadly, aren't happening this year. Instead, my weekends were going to be wide open this Winter and I was very much looking forward to taking a few trips back up to Yosemite to get some more shooting in during my favorite season in the park.
Unfortunately, this is easily one of the worst rainy seasons we've ever had in California. In my neighborhood, it's rained exactly three times since last May. Yosemite hasn't fared much better with the snow fall far below normal for this time of year. I'm hoping things will begin to change this weekend with a few snow showers in the forecast.
Since I haven't been able to make a trip up there so far this Winter, I have instead been sorting through some of my photos from my last Winter trip in 2019. On this particular evening, the park had received nearly three feet of snow on the valley floor and I had just done a face plant in a drift shortly before this photo was taken. As I recall, it was day in February when most of the other photographers in the valley were fighting over spots to shoot a fiery Horsetail Fall. Instead of joining the scrum, I headed down to the river in search of some solitude and stumbled on this view just as the sky lit up.

Thank you so much for your views and comments! If you have specific questions or need to get in touch with me, please be sure to send me a message via flickr mail, or feel free to contact me via one of the following:
Whilst it would be lovely to get closer to these birds we must remember that they are 'Schedule 1' and it is now pretty much time to leave them and other similarly categorised birds in peace to their mating, nest-building, and rearing of their young in the hope they can flourish in numbers. We owe them that. Feather detail alone rarely makes a photograph anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to view some of my images.

Stonehenge a Scheduled Ancient prehistoric monument located 2 miles west of Amesbury in Wiltshire.
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3,000 BC to 2,000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3,100 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first bluestones were raised between 2,400 and 2,200 BC. Another theory suggests the bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3,000 BC.
The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains indicate that deposits contain human bone from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years.

I'm wearing the Charm Banshee gacha set from Zenith, while Jem is in a currently vintage skin and outfit named Solaris, from Fallen Gods. (Word is that it's on the schedule to be updated with current-generation elements.) More details at the article. (Make sure to view this photo as large as you can (1080 height), to see the detail of my makeup. Jem went for the basic skin for her costume, without much else, and so isn't nearly as complicated as I am.)
Icon - Coastal North Carolina Bodie Island Lighthouse Cape Hatteras National Seashore OBX NC
Truly an icon of the state of North Carolina, the Bodie Island Lighthouse is a historic treasure on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore along the barrier islands known as the Outer Banks of NC. OBX, as the locals call it, is a beach vacation destination that offers many fun adventures and beautiful sights to see, including miles of pristine beaches, and it's many historic lighthouses that are definitely must see attractions of coastal North Carolina.
Early autumn mornings at Bodie Island Lighthouse are always something I look forward to, and it has become an annual ritual for me as a much needed relaxing getaway after the hectic autumn season schedule in the mountains. It's always a treat to be there during the morning hours as the low angled warm light of golden hour highlights the edges of this iconic structure making it seem larger than life, as if it extends higher into the sky than even the sun itself. The lack of visitors so early in the day really allows you time to appreciate all there is here to take in, the history of the lighthouse and the role it played in protecting people in the dangerous waters along this coast, the feat of engineering it took to build a monument like this 150+ years ago, the people who have protected and cared for this national treasure to preserve it for us all to enjoy, and the beautiful nature of the surrounding marsh lands that are rich with wildlife going on about their daily routines. No longer needed to serve it's original purpose, this lighthouse now stands as a monument to the rich history and culture of coastal life in North Carolina, an icon symbolizing much of what people love about this beautiful state. Hope you enjoy the view!

Both sandhill crane eggs hatched and out popped two precocious, healthy orangey-gold chicks, endearingly known as "colts" almost immediately ready to follow their parents out of the nest on their diligent foraging for worms and insects to feed the colts.
Interesting to note that these photos were taken exactly one year to the day from my images of the 2019 hatchlings. These guys really keep to a tight schedule!

This variety of Cicada (Magicicada) has a 17-year life cycle and is part of brood IV, or the Kansan Brood. The last time they emerged in Nebraska was 1998. They started to emerge from the ground about a week ago as they were delayed by the rainy weather. So happy that we were able to find them in Weeping Water, Nebraska yesterday afternoon.
People call these cicadas “locusts” but they are not true locusts — real locusts look like grasshoppers. The phrase “17 year cicada” indicates that they arrive every 17 years. The name “periodical cicadas” indicates that they arrive periodically and not each and every year. The scientific name for the Genus of these cicadas is Magicicada, and there are 3 types of 17 year Magicicadas: Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassini and Magicicada septendecula. This is a true locust:
There are literally billions of 17- year cicadas. Why? One theory suggests that the large number of cicadas overwhelms predators, so predators are never able to eat them all and many always survive to mate. This is a survival strategy called “predator satiation”.

Home to the Earls of Stair, Castle Kennedy is known to have been standing in the 14th Century.
Unfortunately, the Castle and virtually all its contents were destroyed by fire in 1716. Lochinch Castle was then built on the estate as the home to the Earls of Stair.
Today, the ruins of the old Castle, a scheduled ancient monument, stand at the heart of the Gardens. The present Lord Stair and his family are committed to both restoring elements of the Gardens to their 19th Century splendor and to continuing the Gardens’ evolution.

I'll interrupt my regularly scheduled MRL posting for Tonner Tuesday on the Arcade & Attica. The duo of glorified tractors are switching out the Reisdorf Bros feed mill and Buffalo Molasses. It was a gloomy day on the ARA and the news that they would be acquiring RS3u 406 was coming soon. An excellent reminder that the only constant in this industry is change itself.
After a pretty disastrous winter due to high winds and storms, St. Andrews By The Sea seems ready for the annual onslaught of tourists which had taken place for many decades. If these buoys were here previously, I never noticed them before. This was my Fathers' Day trip which just took place yesterday due to family schedules. It was a gorgeous day, with a large conference in town as well as your run of the mill tourists. Found a sandwich baggie full of seaglass, and had a very interesting conversation with a couple older gentlemen who metal detect in the bay. They showed me an 18th century Spanish coin, and a 19 century English coin they had found that day. So cool.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an orthodox cathedral in the Tallinn Old Town, Estonia. It was designed by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in a typical Russian Revival style, and built between 1894 and 1900, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is Tallinn's largest and grandest orthodox cupola cathedral. It is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, in the territorial waters of present-day Estonia.
The Cathedral was so disliked by many Estonians as a symbol of oppression that the Estonian authorities scheduled the cathedral for demolition in 1924, but the decision was never implemented due to lack of funds and the building's massive construction. As the USSR was officially non-religious, many churches including this cathedral were left to decline. The church has been meticulously restored since Estonia regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
