INS46 Trust in the Old Harbour at Lossiemouth. Not as old as some of the others, think the transom stern dates its build to the early Seventies.
Still my favourite message -
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Thanks for looking!

That is a corner of Knole House in Kent .
Knole feels almost weighed down by its own history – six centuries of it. People are often impressed by all the absolutes of Knole: its enormous size, the number of rooms, its completeness. But those who live, work and visit here love its quiet dignity, its almost melancholy feel – the grandeur has passed but its old, glinting beauty remains.
What we see today is a remarkably preserved and complete early Jacobean remodelling of a medieval archiepiscopal palace. From an even older manor house, it was built and extended by the Archbishops of Canterbury after 1456. It then became a royal possession during the Tudor dynasty when Henry VIII hunted here and Elizabeth I visited.
From 1603, Thomas Sackville made it the aristocratic treasure house for the Sackville family, who were prominent and influential in court circles. Knole's showrooms were designed to impress visitors and to display the Sackville family’s wealth and status.
Over more than 400 years, his descendants rebuilt and then furnished Knole in two further bursts of activity. First, at the end of the 17th century, when the 6th Earl acquired Stuart furniture and textiles from royal palaces, and again at the end of the 18th century, with the 3rd Duke's art collection.
The Sackvilles gradually withdrew into the heart of the house, leaving many rooms unused and treasures covered. This helps to explain the relative lack of modernisation at Knole (central heating was never installed in the showrooms, for example) and the survival of its collections.
Knole has been welcoming visitors to see its splendours and curiosities for centuries. We know that visitors have followed the same route as you do today for at least the last 400 years.
There's a popular myth that Knole is a calendar house - with 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards. While fascinating, the reality is that it all depends on how you count the rooms and Knole is such a large, rambling estate that it would be impossible to say for certain.
When the National Trust acquired the house in 1946, the majority of the rooms were leased back to the Sackville family, with the Trust retaining the more formal spaces. The 7th Baron Sackville and his family still live at Knole today in private apartments.
Now, visitors can experience so many different parts of Knole, from the grand showrooms to the cosy Gatehouse Tower, the tranquil Orangery to the sweeping parkland. Discover the vast estate and all it has to offer, home to a world-class collection of portraits and furniture, a state-of-the-art conservation studio and a wild deer herd. There really is something for everyone at Knole.

The Union Trust Building – now 705 Olive Building – with the Wainwright is the last remaining Adler & Sullivan commission in St. Louis. Completed in 1893, its street-level facade, which featured massive and heavily ornamented circular windows at the second story, was considerably altered in 1924. A remnant of the round windows may still be seen on the west-side alley. Largely vacant since 2013, the Union Trust is undergoing a $55 million renovation by Restoration St. Louis. The 140-room Hotel Saint Louis under the Marriott Autograph flag is scheduled to open in late 2018. The top two floors are being turned into 14 apartments.

The South West Coast Path is England's longest waymarked long-distance footpath and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles (1,014 km), running from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset. Since it rises and falls with every river mouth, it is also one of the more challenging trails. The total height climbed has been calculated to be 114,931 ft (35,031 m), almost four times the height of Mount Everest. It has been voted 'Britain's Best Walking route' twice in a row by readers of the Ramblers Walk magazine, and regularly features in lists of the world's best walks.
The final section of the path was designated as a National Trail in 1978. Many of the landscapes which the South West Coast Path crosses have special status, either as a national park or one of the heritage coasts. The path passes through two World Heritage Sites: the Dorset and East Devon Coast, known as the Jurassic Coast, was designated in 2001, and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape in 2007.
In the 1990s it was thought that the path brought £150 million into the area each year, but new research in 2003 indicated that it generated around £300 million a year in total, which could support more than 7,500 jobs. This research also recorded that 27.6% of visitors to the region came because of the Path, and they spent £136 million in a year. Local people took 23 million walks on the Path and spent a further £116 million, and other visitors contributed the remainder. A further study in 2005 estimated this figure to have risen to around £300 million. Following investment through the Rural Development Programme for England, more detailed research was undertaken in 2012, and this found the annual spend by walkers to have risen to £439 million which sustains 9771 full-time equivalent jobs.
The path originated as a route for the Coastguard to walk from lighthouse to lighthouse patrolling for smugglers. They needed to be able to look down into every bay and cove: as a result, the path closely hugs the coast providing excellent views but rarely the most direct path between two points. The South West Coast Path is no longer used by the Coastguard but it has been transformed from a practical defence system into a resource for recreational walkers. The path is covered by England's right-of-way laws, as amended by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which keep historic footpaths open to the public even when they pass through private property. Sections of the path are maintained by the National Trust, which owns parts of the coast.
The path is a designated National Trail, largely funded by Natural England. It was created in stages, with its final section, Somerset and North Devon, opening in 1978. It is maintained by a dedicated South West Coast Path Team.
The South West Coast Path Association, a registered charity, exists to support the interests of users of the path. The Association was formed in 1973 and since then it has campaigned for improvements to the path and undertakes considerable fundraising to help care for and improve the path. Its services include accommodation guides and completion certificates.
The route is described here anticlockwise, from Minehead to Poole. The distance and total ascent between any two points, in either direction, can be obtained from The South West Coast Path Association Distance Reckoner. A survey carried out in 1999 and 2000 found that at that time the path had 2,473 signposts or waymarks, and included 302 bridges, 921 stiles, and 26,719 steps. In practice, any such calculation is soon out of date because of path diversions due to landslips or access changes.
Many walkers take about eight weeks to complete the path, often dividing this into sections walked over several years. In contrast, a team of six Royal Marines, taking turns in pairs to run two-hour sections, completed the path in six days in 2004 and in 2012 a runner ran the entire path in 16 days, 9 hours and 57 minutes. New records for completing the path were set on 11 May 2013, when two runners completed the trail in 14 days, 14 hours and 45 minutes and 23 April 2015, when a runner completed the trail in 14 days, 8 hours and 2 minutes. This record was however quickly broken by Mark Berry, who ran it in 11 days, 8 hours and 15 minutes. On 24 May 2016 outdoor journalist and GB ultra runner Damian Hall set a new fastest known time of 10 days, 15 hours and 18 minutes.

Der South West Coast Path ist Großbritanniens längster ausgeschilderter Fernwanderweg und ein National Trail. Er verläuft über 1.014 km (630 Meilen) von Minehead in Somerset entlang der Küsten von Devon und Cornwall nach Poole Harbour in Dorset.
Da er bei jeder Flussmündung steigt und fällt, gilt er als eine vergleichsweise anstrengende Langstreckenwanderung. Die zu erklimmende Gesamthöhe wurde mit 35.031 m (114.931 ft) berechnet, fast das Vierfache der Höhe des Mount Everest.
Der letzte Abschnitt des Weges wurde 1978 als National Trail anerkannt. Viele der Landschaften, die der South West Coast Path durchquert, haben einen Sonderstatus, entweder als Nationalpark oder als Heritage Coast. Der Weg führt durch zwei UNESCO-Welterbe-Stätten: Die Küste von Dorset und East Devon, die als Jurassic Coast bekannt ist, bekam im Jahr 2001 den UNESCO-Welterbe-Status, und die Bergbaulandschaft von Cornwall und West Devon im Jahr 2007.
In den 1990er Jahren hat man berechnet, dass der Weg jährlich jeweils 15.000.000 £ für die Region eingebracht hat, aber neuere Untersuchungen haben im Jahr 2003 darauf hingewiesen, dass insgesamt rund 300.000.000 £ pro Jahr erzeugt werden, was mehr als 7.500 Arbeitsplätze unterstützt. Diese Arbeit dokumentiert auch, dass 27,6 % der Besucher wegen dieses Weges in die Region kamen und 136.000.000 £ pro Jahr dort ausgaben. Die örtliche Bevölkerung hat 23 Millionen Spaziergänge auf dem Weg gemacht und gab weitere 116.000.000 £ aus, und andere Besucher trugen den Rest bei. Eine weitere Studie im Jahr 2005 schätzte, dass diese Zahl inzwischen auf rund 300.000.000 £ angestiegen sei.
Der Weg wurde für die Coast Guard angelegt, um im Kampf gegen Schmuggler zu Fuß von Leuchtturm zu Leuchtturm zu patrouillieren. Die Küstenwächer mussten in der Lage sein, einen Blick nach unten in jede Bucht zu werfen. Als Ergebnis schmiegt sich der Weg eng an die Küste an und bietet eine hervorragende Aussicht, aber nur selten einen direkten Weg zwischen zwei Punkten. Der South West Coast Path wird von der Küstenwache nicht mehr zur Schmugglerabwehr verwendet, sondern hat sich in ein Angebot für Freizeit-Wanderer verwandelt.
Der Pfad wird durch ein öffentliches Wegerecht abgedeckt, aktuell durch den Countryside and Rights of Way Act, das historische Wanderwege für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich hält, auch wenn sie über Privateigentum führen. Abschnitte des Weges werden durch den National Trust gepflegt, der Teile der Küstengrundstücke besitzt.
Der Pfad ist ein ausgewiesener National Trail, der weitgehend von Natural England finanziert wird. Er wurde in Etappen erstellt, mit der Eröffnung des letzten Abschnitts in Somerset und North Devon im Jahr 1978. Er wird von einem engagierten South West Coast Path Team betreut.
Die South West Coast Path Association existiert, um die Interessen der Nutzer des Weges zu unterstützen. Der eingetragene Verein wurde 1973 gegründet und ist seither um Verbesserungen des Weges bemüht. Die Dienstleistungen umfassen unter anderem Unterkunftsvermittlung, Führer und Abschluss-Zertifikate.

I've mentioned it before, but to me, the relationship of the coastal brown bear and the shorebirds is an amazing one. Here you have the brown bear - a fierce predator - determined during the month of September to eat their fill before the long winter. Then you have the shorebird - simply looking for any and all scraps that are left behind. So it is quite convenient for the shorebird to "hang around" the bear. I do, however, wonder how they know that they are safe from the jaws & claws of this bear - many times bigger and immensely more powerful.
Nevertheless, by the look on this bear's face, he seems to be quite content with the bird's company - almost offering up a smile or grin - while the shorebird passes by.......
Yo mate, this is all safe, just don't look at the gaps!
This structure is a safety ladder on the edge of a quai in Kiel-Holtenau. Never mind the rust and gaps, it's all secure, trust me!

"Then we had set up last night, you had told me your story, and there was a little more to trust from you...And then what happened this morning...Instead of saving yourself and running...you come back for me...You kept close, you kept me safe, you didn't think to leave me behind...and you were willing to kill to save us both...That was what made me realize you deserved my trust. That you would protect me..."
One of the greatest things a D.O.M can do for his s.u.b is to silence her mind. To allow her to let go of the world, to close her eyes trusting in his protection and simply "be".
It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own,
A heavy cross, to carry alone,
The lights are on, but everyone's gone,
And it's cruel
It's a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without you,
I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
All the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
you're moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of Nature, it's true but, it's a cruel world,
We can play it safe, or play it cool,
follow the leader, or make up all the rules,
whatever you want, the choice is yours,
So choose,
I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
I trust you, it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
I trust you.
