“Solve” refers to the breaking down of elements and “Coagula” refers to their coming together. In the process of transmuting base metal into gold or arriving at the Philosopher’s stone, this contained both literal and hidden meaning. Esoterically, “solve” referred to the dissolving of hardened positions, negative states of body and mind, thereby dissolving and vanishing negative energetic charge. “Coagula” referred to the coagulation of dispersed elements into an integrated whole, representing the new synthesis.
Solve et Coagula expresses transmutation from base to a finer state, the perpetual goal of spiritual growth and human evolution.

OK, you set your camera on macro, zoom in and shoot a sheet of laser-printed mylar Christmas paper from about 3 feet away. Without a DSLR, it is difficult to defocus a digital camera. This is my solution.
The Needle Galaxy in Como Berenices is a 10th magnitude edge on spiral which lies at a distance of around 40 million light years. Conditions started off well then up popped the moon but when clear skies are few and far between these days I just cut the length of the sub exposures.

Starting with "Bright Green Under" and a cube in a corner of a field...
When I took the shot I had hunted in vain for any information sign...so hence the internet search as I posted...
I wasn't very successful to start...
And then I remembered Geograph m.geograph.org.uk "The Geograph® Britain and Ireland project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland."
So I checked our GPS route to work out which grid square I thought it was in..
Then I found the advanced search on Geograph - that took a few attempts so I have saved the link here www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?form=text
Then I looked for images within 1 km of SK1664 (the grid reference) as it was on an edge.
I spoted a shot - and it gave me the extra word of Limestone and and the idea to include Cales Farm in the search (Neil had put in grid square SK1663 www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3596177
I then headed back to Uncle Google search with "bright under green limestone cales farm"
Bingo!

Sites of Meaning was a millennium project of Middleton and Smerrill in the Derbyshire Peak. It marks the seventeen entrances to its parish with boundary stones each inscribed with a text chosen by members of the parish.
So hopefully if we trip over any of the other 16 stones I'll remember where to look.
If you've got this far, I was rather chuffed I found the information and hence the rather laboured notes above on how I got there. Now, was I meant to be doing anything else this morning, I think the "to do" list will win again today!
You'd all thwarted my previous attempts at providing a difficult challenge from our "unknown location" Fergus O'Connor Collection images, nonchalantly despatching some of them in as little as 30 minutes. Well not this one, Flickroonies! I had threatened to eat the original glass plate negative if this one was solved quickly, but as it took us 10 months, don't think I have to make good on that offer.
All we had on this one was "Large house, with a clock tower and crenellated rooftop, in an unknown location", and the clock told us it was taken around 11:45. Though the time didn't help much, the clock tower certainly did. Almost 10 months to the day from its original posting, zetetic2006 said:
"I recognised it immediately! It's Sandymount Castle on Sandymount Green in Dublin, the crenellated clock-tower is a giveaway. The rear of the castle backs onto the southern side of the Green where you can still see the clock tower, check out Google Maps. The view in this photo is no more, Castle Park was built in these grounds, sometime in the 50's or 60's I think."
