It's that time of the year that I can delve into my archives and top up some of my historic Flickr albums.
I made several visits to Taylors Coaches of Sutton Scotney before they ceased trading at the end of 2004.
Scarsdale Hall sits on the outskirts of Chesterfield, it's clearly visible from the M1 as it snakes through the valley below, it's also fairly close to Bolsover castle.
It is said it was once an estate to rival Chatsworth, but all that remains of it today is a grand but empty shell. The baroque style mansion was built between 1724-1729, during the First world war it fell on hard times and was sold to asset strippers who tore the place shipping the majority of it to the US.
Another shot taken on the evening shoot around the Barbican and Sutton Harbour a couple of weeks ago. I have photographed this boat before, but with a light orb in front of it so have kept it plain and simple this time.

As all my Flickr friends know, my standard style is the picture postcard approach. When the light is really bad I'll sometimes try a mono conversion to see if that works. But this time I thought I'd try something really different and hopefully creative and see what your reaction is. If you don't like it, please tell me! Incidentally, I wasn't happy with the earlier version, so I've deleted it.
This was taken by the Fish Quay in Plymouth's Sutton Harbour, and the light was dire!

A dull, dismal and drizzly day, today, so time to re-visit some very old files! This is the National Trust's Sutton Scarsdale Hall which overlooks the M1 just North of Junction 29. This is a hand-held HDR triplet, taken with my old Eos 5D, back in May, 2008.

The Sutton Hoo helmet
Anglo-Saxon, early 7th century AD
From Mound 1, Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, England
This extraordinary helmet is very rare. Only four complete helmets are known from Anglo-Saxon England: at Sutton Hoo, Benty Grange, Wollaston and York.
The helmet was badly damaged when the burial chamber collapsed. By precisely locating the remaining fragments and assembling them as if in a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, conservators have reconstructed the helmet. A complete replica made by the Royal Armouries shows how the original would have looked.
The helmet comprised an iron cap, neck guard, cheek pieces and face mask. Its form derives from Late Roman cavalry helmets. The helmet’s surfaces were covered with tinned copper alloy panels that gave it a bright, silvery appearance. Many of these panels were decorated with interlacing animal ornament (‘Style II’) and heroic scenes of warriors. One scene shows two men wearing horned head-gear, holding swords and spears. The other shows a mounted warrior trampling a fallen enemy, who in turn stabs the horse. The rider carries a spear which is supported by a curious small figure, standing on the rump of his horse – perhaps a supernatural helper. Similar scenes were popular in the Germanic world at this time.
The face-mask is the helmet’s most remarkable feature. It works as a visual puzzle, with two possible ‘solutions’. The first is of a human face, comprising eye-sockets, eyebrows, moustache, mouth and a nose with two small holes so that the wearer could breathe. The copper alloy eyebrows are inlaid with silver wire and tiny garnets. Each ends in a gilded boar’s head – a symbol of strength and courage appropriate for a warrior. The second ‘solution’ is of a bird or dragon flying upwards. Its tail is formed by the moustache, its body by the nose, and its wings by the eyebrows. Its head extends from between the wings, and lays nose-to-nose with another animal head at the end of a low iron crest that runs over the helmet’s cap.
A precious survival, the Sutton Hoo helmet has become an icon of the early medieval period. (from British Museum explanation)

Sutton Weaver swing bridge on the Weaver Navigation. Completed in 1926 and much neglected and rusty of late. It has undergone a major refurbishment since this view was taken.
I love B&W! It translates what I want to say in such a brilliant manner!
Better seen in "L", with the black framing.
Your honest comments and critiques are very much welcomed. Favs too! ;) Please refrain from posting awards and groups' "comment codes". They're really not my thing.

"Junon"- full length-- by Matthew Sutton
This is inspired by a 1949 Dior ballgown of the same name.
Over 10,000 3mm sequins in five different colors, in addition to thousands of beads, were hand- embroidered onto layers of tulle to form the petals!
