junky rusty junk.
An example of Dryad's Saddle bracket fungus (Cerioporus Squamosus). Many thanks to Sue Taylor for identifying the species for me.

Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.

Bracket fungii growing on the trunk of a tree. I'd read about bracket fungi long, long ago, about 40 odd years ago when I was in school, but had never given it much thought after that. Bracket fungi, or shelf fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that comprise the phylum Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped fruiting bodies called conks that can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds. They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris. Some kinds of bracket fungi are edible.

GWR 'Small Prairie' no 5521, masquerading as London Transport's L150, leaves Horsted Keynes for Sheffield Park. I don't much like this but thought I'd post 'for the record'.
The Sling Bracket is the perfect mount for you if you already own part of an EVF mount such as the EVF Rod Mount, Standard Mount or Tri Mount. It mounts to the Gorilla Plate or Zacuto DSLR Baseplate using 2 allen screws, the same way the Z-Finder Frame mounts. The Sling Bracket allows you to attach any 15mm rod, Zamerican Articulating Arm, or EVF Pan and Tilt Mount (included with the EVF Rod Mount systems) to your Gorilla Plate or DSLR Baseplate. The Sling Bracket allows you to position your EVF at different angles so you can customize it to fit your shooting needs. This is a simple and elegant solution to mounting your EVF on a gorilla based system. If you need the entire kit check out the EVF Gorilla Plate Bracket.
Front view of my new portable studio. Now I just need a Vagabond battery pack. Not practical, but very interesting.
The first of the angle brackets secured to a vertical riser on the carport frame. The bracket is necessary because the very top portion of the riser is the hollow end of the roof frame. This angle bracket gives you a place into which you can drill a screw to hold the side panel and and reduce its vibration in the wind.
I talked to the guy from the sign company, he said they scrap the brackets used in shipping the sign. It's cheaper to make new each time than to ship the old ones back to re-use.
Pseudoinonotus dryadeus, the oak bracket or weeping polypore. This is a new one on me and my book of nearly 2k fungi illustrations. Thanks to First Nature for the ID. This is a beauty - get high mag on it if possible to see the exudate which looks (but doesn't taste) like honey. It grows in all sorts of shapes from this vaguely fungus shape to something more like a giant slime mould or a rot.
---Maybe it was the warm weather, or maybe spring was set to replay its timeless script; I'm not certain. But we saw birds in the woodlot, my friend and I. And we heard them, playfully, cheerfully, whimsically flitting between the stately sugar maple and majestic oak.
She had read my philosophical writings and so, I wanted her to get a sense of the things that awoke my imagination. She had especially sought the “well” which I had poetically described, but alas, as I feared, we could not find it. I guided our walk to as many natural objects as I could. But, I wanted to avoid merely listing the trees, animals, and snow, like material possessions. I wanted to share the wonder of a prickly hawthorn, the chorus of sparrows, or the way in which the receding whiteness reveals frozen berries.
Yet, in the woods only with another person can you have the question, “Why do the leaves turn red?” answered, discussed, and reflected upon; or a prophetic interpretation of Shelley’s Frankenstein explained by the hindsight of scientism; or the paradoxical use of words: as data and metaphor.
In this way, on a rosy-eared February afternoon, you wonder if the relationship between persons must be grounded in an ecological context. Does it complete the community, the vision of humanitas; for is this not ecology?
Solitude is what results when community is bracketed. In this, the “other” affords to the reflective primacy of “self,” practical experience. The beauty of a singular spider, precariously tight-roped, is meaningfully experienced alone, but shared, evokes empathy. It is all too easy to lose the intimacy with nature grasped by solitude, with spoken words, but a subtle glance restores the dreamy imagination of being seven again.

Spotted during a round on Beckenham Place Park Golf Course in south London - I'm fairly sure it's a bracket fungus but any attempts at more precise identification welcomed.
This variation of the bearing bracket widens the inner radius surrounding the bearing by 0.5mm. I also raised a 1mm ring around the top surface to strengthen the larger, upper tear-drop shaped bolt holes.
I really liked this shot, but I couldn't get the reflections, parking lot lights, seats, shadows and highlights on the ground all in my lighting range. Either everything but the seats was blown out, or the seats were in darkness. I used the bracketing function on my 20D and took ~9 shots on different settings and composited them in photoshop.
