Happy Saturday for Stairs!
South Queensferry was once the main point to board ferries over to Fife and is still a port today, although the boats are now destined for the islands of the Forth.
Take a boat tour to travel under the Forth Bridge and explore the wildlife and history of the islands. You can even land on Inchcolm, which is home to both a 12th century abbey and the fascinating remnants of Second World War defences.
Dalmeny House and Hopetoun House are two fine stately homes located on the outskirts of South Queensferry, and both are excellent attractions which boast lovely grounds, impressive architecture and historic artefacts.
The town is also a great place to start a coastal walk by joining the John Muir Way and following it through Dalmeny Estate and towards Cramond village.

This is my first attempt at a stitched panorama, so be gentle with me :-))
7 Photos, handheld, with lots of overlap to assure there are no stitching artefacts. 37Mpixels all in all...
As a side note, on the very left edge of photo, there is a small hint of a bay.. There is my home town Rijeka.... it's 14-15km air line from the here...
We had a great day hiking yesterday, gorgeous weather..(finally)...
This was one of the most intensive and longest enduring burning skies I have seen for a long time. Luckily it happened right in front of a very juicy foreground. Was waiting for years to get epic light on a fresh, fluffy snow coverage. The tree trunk comes from a very special old tree, I have photographed many times before. Grab a hot chocolate, lean back and enjoy the view!

I've no idea what's going on in this pic, other than the awesome behaviour of nature and what's going on inside the camera — particularly the strobe-like artefacts, but mostly the bounce!

Small courtyard of the Bled castle :)
Bled Castle – a castle in the town of Bled, located on a hill at an altitude of approximately 100 m above Lake Bled. It's the oldest castle in Slovenia. The first castle was built by the bishops around 1011 for defensive purposes. The castle's current Baroque appearance was acquired after a major reconstruction in the 18th century. The oldest part of the castle is the Romanesque tower. In the years 1951-1961 the castle was restored according to the plans of the architect Tony Bitenec. Now in the castle is the museum, where you can learn about the distant past of Lake Bled, from the early excavations and the castle to the individual steps of its historical development, and see period-specific artefacts. The castle also hosts the tower gallery featuring monthly exhibitions, souvenir shop and restaurant. From the castle walls there is also a magnificent view of Lake Bled and the and the Gorenjska region surrounded with high mountains.

Mały dziedziniec na zamku Bled :)
Zamek Bled – zamek w miejscowości Bled, położony na wzgórzu na wysokości ok. 100 m powyżej jeziora Bled. Według zapisów historycznych jest najstarszym zamkiem w Słowenii. Pierwsza wzmianka o zamku pochodzi z aktu darowizny wydanego 22 maja 1011 roku przez cesarza Henryka II dla biskupów Brixen, którzy rezydowali na tym zamku przez 800 lat. Aktualny barokowy wygląd zamek uzyskał po dużej przebudowie w XVIII wieku. Najstarszą częścią zamku jest romańska wieża. Zamek jest także wyposażony w most zwodzony i fosę. Profesjonalną renowację Zamku Bledzkiego przeprowadzono w latach 50. XX wieku na podstawie planów architekta Tonego Bitenca. Obecnie w zamku mieści się muzeum przedstawiające m.in. najstarszą historię Bledu już od pierwszych znalezisk oraz zamek w fazach rozwoju, galerie sztuki, a także wystawy czasowe. Ponadto z murów zamku roztacza się wspaniały widok na leżące w dole jezioro Bled, miasto i okolice.
West Kennet Long Barrow a Neolithic tomb, situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles south of Avebury, in Wiltshire.
The site was recorded by John Aubrey in the 17th century and by William Stukeley in the 18th century.
Archaeologists classify it as a chambered long barrow and one of the Severn-Cotswold tombs. It has two pairs of opposing transept chambers and a single terminal chamber used for burial. The stone burial chambers are located at one end of one of the longest barrows in Britain at 100 m: in total it is estimated that 15,700 man-hours were expended in its construction. The entrance consists of a concave forecourt with a facade made from large slabs of sarsen stones which were placed to seal entry.
The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage of Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC. The mound has been damaged by indiscriminate digging, but archaeological excavations in 1859 and 1955-56 found at least 46 burials, ranging from babies to elderly persons. The bones were disarticulated with some of the skulls and long bones missing. It has been suggested that the bones were removed periodically for display or transported elsewhere with the blocking facade being removed and replaced each time. Recent re-analysis of the dating evidence suggests that the 46 people all died within 20 – 30 years of each other, and that the tomb was open for 1,000 years.
The latest excavations also revealed that the side chambers occur inside an exact isosceles triangle, whose height is twice the length of its base. Artefacts associated with the burials include Neolithic Grooved ware similar to that found at nearby Windmill Hill.
It is thought that this tomb was in use for as long as 1,000 years and at the end of this period the passage and chamber were filled to the roof by the Beaker people with earth and stones, among which were found pieces of Grooved ware, Peterborough ware and Beaker pottery, charcoal, bone tools, and beads. Stuart Piggott, who excavated this mixture of secondary material, suggested that it had been collected from a nearby 'mortuary enclosure' showing that the site had been used for ritual activity long after it was used for burial. The finds from the site are displayed at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, including some of the most impressive beakers from Britain.
