I've seen these in many places throughout S Berkeley & Oakland, but this one probably doesn't reach many people since it's parallell to the road & drivers seem to exceed the speed limit & go pretty fast

Berkeley Square is a rather pleasant if relatively small bit of green space in Central Bristol. It seems that every litter lout in the entire city has congregated there for the specific purpose of befouling the place. Publicly flogging the culprits would be too good for them. I'd not only get them to pick it all up, but make them eat it as well.

It says on the back of the print "C22, Berkeley? 1975", and, to be honest, I can't remember exactly where this is! Probably Berkeley Castle, maybe it will come to me!

Over the weekend I worked out a new wireless video downlink for my pole aerial photography rig. Late Sunday I made a stop by the Berkeley Skate Park at Harrison Park. It was fun shooting the young guys and their daring do especially for the shadows on the park’s convoluted ground.
I will post a few images of the pole camera cradle within the next couple of days.
The Berkeley was a fibreglass bodied sports car with a motorcycle engine back in the 1950s. Not many made and rare to see now. Spotted at Redditch Classic Motor Show. Report and photos from show in the current issue of Classic and Competition Car magazine. Free to read at www.classcompcar.com
Berkeley's Hospital Almshouses, Foregate Street, Worcester.
Endowed in 1692 by Robert Berkeley, a grandson of Judge Berkeley of Spetchley, for twelve poor men; it is built in brick with stone dressings. It is entered through an iron gate having a two-storied lodging on either side, and on both sides of a long quadrangle are six houses with the arms of the founder over each door. At the top of the court is the chapel, entered by a large doorway over which are the Berkeley arms and in a niche the figure of the founder dated 1703, probably the date of the buildings generally.

Berkeley Plantation, one of the first great estates in America, comprises about 1,000 acres (400 ha) on the banks of the James River on State Route 5 in Charles City County, Virginia. Berkeley Plantation was originally called Berkeley Hundred and named after the Berkeley Company of England. Benjamin Harrison IV built on the estate what is believed to be the oldest three-story brick mansion in Virginia and is the ancestral home to two Presidents of the United States: William Henry Harrison, his grandson, and Benjamin Harrison his great-great-grandson.[4][5]
Among the many American "firsts" that occurred at Berkeley Plantation are:
The first official Thanksgiving: 4 December 1619
The first bourbon whiskey distilled: 1621, by George Thorpe, an Episcopal priest.[6]
First time Army bugle call "Taps" played: July 1862, by bugler Oliver W. Norton; the melody was written at Harrison's Landing, the plantation's old wharf, by Norton and then General Daniel Butterfield.[7]
A waterfall inside the pit.
The Berkeley Pit is a former open pit copper mine located in Butte, Montana, USA, about a mile and a half wide and about 1,780 feet deep. It contains about 900 feet of water that is heavily acidic, with a pH level of 2.5, and laden with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals such as arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulfuric acid.
The mine was opened in 1955 and operated by the Anaconda Mining Company and later by the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), until its closure in 1982. When the pit was closed, the water pumps at the bottom were removed, and groundwater sourced from the surrounding aquifers soon filled the pit to the natural groundwater level.
This has presented an environmental problem in that the water, with dissolved oxygen, allows pyrite and sulfide minerals in the ore and wall rocks to decay, releasing acid. The acidic water in the pit can carry a heavy load of dissolved heavy metals. The water contains so much dissolved metal (up to 187 ppm Cu) that "mining" of the water is actually done.
In the 1990s plans were devised for solving the groundwater problem. The Berkeley Pit has since become one of the largest Superfund sites.
