This driveway is just down the road from my house. As you can see, the sun was really low here. Golden light and long shadows.
Taken while walking round Fewston Reservoir North Yorkshire. A cold day but blue sky and sunshine.

“The Churchill Tree: Belstone was proud of the £111 raised for the Winston Churchill Memorial Fund in 1965 – the highest per capita amount by far in the Rural District. A horse chestnut – The Churchill Tree – was planted on 6 November 1965 on the green below Taikoo. Cyril Robinson paid £1 15/- for it and led the planting ceremony, Brigadier Haycraft contributed towards the chain link fencing, and Parish Council members provided at least one stake each. The tree has always struggled but, like the great man himself who had barely started life in high office at age 37, the best may be yet to come.” My thanks for Chris Walpole from Belstone for his interesting information on this and also for leading us up to the exact spot where the said tree is planted.

In May 2001, Central Oregon & Pacific's Weed Switcher returns to its namesake after delivering interchange traffic to Union Pacific at Black Butte. This was a great shot in Southern Pacific days, but the foliage is taking over. The arson fire that decimated Weed, California in 2014 was started near here.
The Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) is a new television broadcasting tower and landmark of Tokyo. It is the centerpiece of the Tokyo Skytree Town in the Sumida City Ward, not far away from Asakusa. With a height of 634 meters (634 can be read as "Musashi", a historic name of the Tokyo Region), it is the tallest building in Japan and the second tallest structure in the world at the time of its completion.
The highlight of the Tokyo Skytree is its two observation decks which offer spectacular views out over Tokyo. The two enclosed decks are located at heights of 350 and 450 meters respectively, making them the highest observation decks in Japan and some of the highest in the world.
