Going down the spiral staircase and looking through the windows.
Many of these historic boarding houses became home to generations of golfers visiting St Andrews. Long before modern hotels became common, players from around the world stayed in these stone buildings, sharing stories, friendships, and the anticipation of walking to the Old Course the following morning.
A view from the Hawes side of the disused railway to a barn and beyond.
The NER section of the line lost its passenger service in April 1954, but the station retained a nominal service of one train each way from Hawes Junction (by then renamed Garsdale) until final closure to passengers on 16 March 1959. Goods traffic from the Leyburn direction continued until complete closure in April 1964, after which the track was lifted and the buildings left to fall into disrepair. However, after many years of disuse, the site was purchased by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority and converted into a museum and tourist information centre in the early 1990s, a role it continues to fulfil to this day. As part of this scheme, the station buildings and platforms were refurbished, a short length of track relaid. A preserved industrial tank locomotive, cosmetically painted in British Railways colours, together with a pair of ex-BR Mark 1 coaches, were installed as a static exhibit.
Although isolated from the national rail network for over fifty-five years, the Wensleydale Railway hopes to one day eventually rebuild, re-instate and re-open the currently abandoned and derelict section of line between Redmire and Garsdale (thus would involve restoring the station to its former glory and active use). However, the train with three carriages which currently resides in the platform would have to be removed and placed in a newly-constructed siding, because the project involves re-instating the entire station to its former use.

Ο Άγιος Γεώργιος ο Μεγαλομάρτυρας και Τροπαιοφόρος εορτάζεται στις 23 Απριλίου. Εάν όμως το Πάσχα πέφτει μετά τις 23 τότε εορτάζεται την επόμενη μέρα του Πάσχα (Δευτέρα της Δικαινησίμου).
Saint George the Great Martyr and the Troopier.
celebration type: Special calculation.
It is celebrated on April 23rd. But if Easter falls after 23 April, then it is celebrated the next Easter day (Monday of Honorable).
Ο Άγιος Γεώργιος είναι μία από τις συνολικά 16 εκκλησίες που υπάρχουν στον ευρύτερο χώρο του Βασιλικού(Τσαραπλανά),του χωριού καταγωγής του αειμνήστου πατρός μου.
Χρονολογείται από την βυζαντινή-μεταβυζαντινή περίοδο και μαρτυρεί μαζί με άλλα ιστορικά μνημεία την μακραίωνη ιστορία του χωριού.
Σχετικά προσφάτως αναπαλαιώθηκε ενώ ταυτοχρόνως διαμορφώθηκε και ο περιβάλλων χώρος προσφέροντας μία απέραντη,απολαυστική και συναρπαστική θέα του Πωγωνίου.
Agios Georgios is one of a total of 16 churches that exist in the wider area of Vasilikos (Tsaraplana), the village of my late father's birth.
It dates back to the Byzantine-post-Byzantine period and testifies along with other historical monuments the long history of the village.
It has recently been renovated while the surrounding area has also been created, offering a vast, enjoyable and exciting view of Pogoni.
The Alamo (meaning “cottonwood” in Spanish) was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, where American folk heroes James Bowie and Davy Crockett died. Today, both the Alamo itself and the 12-day battle story are historic touchstones to patriotic Texans.
What we now know as the Alamo was originally named Misión San Antonio de Valero. It was one of the early Spanish missions in Texas built by the Catholic church of Spain in San Antonio, Texas, in 1718. Its purpose was the education of local Coahuiltecan natives after their conversion to Christianity. In the 1790s, the mission was abandoned and the building became a fortress.
In 2015, the Alamo became one of five missions along the San Antonio River designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

The impressive three-storeyed Ynysypandy slate-slab mill, and its surrounding yard, rail-access and water-supply system, was built to serve Gorsedda quarry in 1856-7 by the local contractor Evan Jones of Garndolbenmaen, probably to the design of the distinguished engineer James Brunlees. It is ingeniously planned so that the natural fall of the site assisted the manufacturing process. An internal pit accommodated an overshot water wheel, supplied by the Henwy stream, and on the south side a long curving ramp brought branches of the railway from Gorsedda quarry into the mill at two different levels, serving the middle and upper floors. The grand, round-headed openings are closely spaced like a Roman aqueduct, and derive from foundry practice. The eastern gable is surmounted by a decorative feature incorporating a false chimney stack, and the windows were at one time framed. It is one of very few architecturally ambitious buildings in the slate industry of Wales.
The mill specialised in the production of slate slabs for floors, dairies, troughs, urinals, etc. In its heyday, in 1860, it was producing over 2,000 tons per annum, but seven years later production was down to 25 tons per annum (due to the poor quality of the quarried slate) and the business went into liquidation in 1871.
The building provided a venue for eisteddfodau until the roof was removed around 1906. It was conserved by the Snowdonia National Park in 1981 and is accessible to visitors.

I think this fence is known as a Russell Fence. I found this while exploring the backroads of Montana and came upon the ghost town named Pony.
Happy Fence Friday!

Στον παραδοσιακό οικισμό Μόλυβος (Μύθημνα) στην Λέσβο ένας παραγωγός λαχανικών πουλάει ο ίδιος την πραμάτεια του φορτωμένη στο πιστό του γαϊδουράκι
At the traditional settlement Molyvos (Mythimna) Lesvos Isalnd a vegetable grower sells his produce himself, loaded onto his trusty donkey.
Bathed in the warmth of the evening sun, this distinctive turreted house on Kirkhill, St Andrews, stands as a reminder that history is not confined to museums or monuments. Its weathered sandstone walls continue to serve everyday life, quietly preserving the craftsmanship and character that have shaped the town for generations. Here, time has not simply passed—it still lives within the stone.
I caught the sun shining through one of the windows in the lantern on the top floor of the little castle at Bolsover Castle and liked the starburst effect so I positioned myself to make it as large and as striking as possible.
Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν μοι οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ' ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.
I am the light of the world; The following me I will not walk in the dark, butwill have the light of life.

The mine at Carn Galver operated on and off from the 1830s to 1878, transforming this quiet coastal moor into a bustling industrial zone. Visitors in the 1870s would have seen smoke billowing from the stack of the steam pumping house (the taller ruined building) which drained water from the mines’s deepest shafts, whilst the clanking winch of the adjacent engine house raised ore to the surface in huge buckets. Carts would then haul off the ore to the nearby Bosigran Stamps (which replaced the early 19th century stamps at Porthmoina Cove) for crushing, separating and roasting. The Count House where the mine manager lived, kept the accounts and entertained shareholders to lavish dinners, is now the Climbers Club.
St Martin's Church, Martindale is located in the valley of Martindale in Cumbria, England, UK
It is often referred to as the "Old Church" to avoid confusion with the nearby St Peter's Church which is situated half a mile down the valley. The church is dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours. It is now only in occasional use. The church is a Grade II* listed building.
The date of the establishment of a place of worship on the site of St Martin's is unknown but it is mentioned in a de Lancaster Charter of 1220 and other references state that a chapel was already in existence at that date.
The present building was probably erected at the end of the 16th century, replacing the chapel, the last reference to which occurs in a document of 13 April 1541. In 1714 the church floor was flagged as the congregation were no longer prepared to endure the damp earth floor.
The tiny church bell which hangs in an open cote at the west end of the church is over 500 years old.
The churchyard contains an ancient Yew tree which is estimated to be 1300 years old, documents in the church state the men of Martindale, who were famous as bowmen, used the tree and others in the district to replenish their arms.

Looking down one of the historic streets of St Andrews, the eye is drawn towards North Point, the café where Prince William and Catherine spent time together during their years at the University of St Andrews. Surrounded by centuries-old stone buildings, this quiet corner reminds us that history is shaped not only by castles and monuments, but also by the ordinary places where extraordinary journeys begin.

A rainy day in Grassington, a town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the parish at the 2011 Census was 1,126.[1] It is situated in Wharfedale, about 8 miles (10 km) north-west from Bolton Abbey, and is surrounded by limestone scenery. Nearby villages include Linton, Threshfield, Hebden, Conistone and Kilnsey.
Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
Grassington was used as the setting for the fictional town of Darrowby in the 2020 Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small, instead of Thirsk where the actual story took place; Thirsk had become too large for the small-town feel that the series wanted.
Inside the church of Saint Malo in Dinan, Brittany France.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint-Malo Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo) is a Roman Catholic Cathedral located in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France. The church was founded in dedication to Saint Vincent of Saragossa and is a national monument of France. It was built in a mix of Roman and Gothic styles during the episcopacy of Jean de Châtillon (1146-1163) on the site of an ancient church founded in the 7th century. The cathedral suffered damage during World War II when the steeple toppled onto the Sacred Heart Chapel. An organ which had been built in 1893 by Louis Debierre was destroyed. On 21 May 1972, after 28 years of work, a ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of the restoration. It is a stop on the Tro Breizh, a Catholic pilgrimage that links the towns of the seven founding saints of Brittany.
