Cobbles in the rain seem to be as slick as the back of a giant lizard coming out of the river.
Or maybe I just have an over-active imagination.
Looking towards Barrow across Morecambe Bay, you can make out the massive sheds where they build submarines.
Not long ago, the council would have removed this log from the park. Today fallen trees and logs are usually left in place, if they are not fangerous, to provide homes for beetles and other insects. All part of preserving the diversity of the environment.
Walking along the riverside, the trees and undergrowth bury their roots in the ground that keep the banks together - come rain, shine, and flood. Sometimes the leaves are so dense that you can't see the river any more. So it's good to look at the trees, and think of Joyce Kilmer's wonderful poem:
Trees
By Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
The cinema opened in 1919, equipped with sound in 1929, Cinemascope in 1954, and closed in 1980.
Given that this is on the seafront, that's some high-quality paint to have lasted so well.
Cruddy old green lock.
Shot on a phone.

Cola float at Brucciani's.
Yesterday was a personal red letter day and I celebrated with a very rare treat!
The journey down all the steps is rewarded with this! The winding River Lune, wide and shallow here; over the water and in the distance is the Lake District National Park (Cumbria) and a few minutes' drive takes you to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Here we stand at the base of 'Ruskin's View', which was painted by JMW Turner. Little has changed since then.
There's no coarse fishing til 15 June, or I would regret not having a rod with me.
The tallest fell in the distance is known as The Old Man of Coniston, or just The Old Man (~802m). Sitting in what is now Cumbria, this is the highest point in the historic county of Lancashire.
It's very popular with walkers and has a number of well-marked tracks to the summit.
Slate and copper mining were carried out on this fell for over 800 years, and you can see spoil tips and the remains of disused mines.
This is looking out from Hoad Hill. It's classed as a Marilyn (hill over 150m), so that's two Marilyns I bagged this week =]
These naturally shaped stones are cobbles. Not many deliveries along here these days, judging by the amount of plants.
Just to prove it isn't only German that I mangle!
Dinner tonight was a lamb steak, served on a bed of mashed carrot and sweet potato, with garden peas and pickled red cabbage. Brought together with some more veloute sauce.
So - other than the enormous quantity of peas (don't hate me - I like them) - what's the deal? Well, I cooked all of this in a microwave, in three separate 4 minute sessions. Cost of energy was about 15 p. You do need the appropriate dish to sear and cook the meat, but there are so many on the used pages these days, you really ought to get one.
Lékué (offices in Barcelona) is my favorite brand, but there are others of course.
In the field were the delightful lambs and their mothers. They are painted with numbers to indicate their owner, when grazing on shared or common land.
This shop took me back to my childhood in an instant. Dolly pegs, wooden backed bristle scrubbing brushes, and proper soap, among other delights. And almost no plastic to be seen.
The town library is housed in what was originally the fire station, next to what was the town hall and is now the museum.
I don't know how old this lamp is, but it's rather nice, don't you think?
