The chain ferry at Reedham in Norfolk which seems to be kept busy most of the time.
" The current ferry was built in 1984 and was designed and built at Oulton Broad by the late Fred Newson & the present owner David Archer. The ferry can carry up to 3 cars at a time and can carry a maximum weight of 12 tonnes. There has been a crossing at Reedham since the early 17th Century.
The original ferry was called Norfolk Horse Ferries UNDER STABLE the horse drawn vehicles were the main users of the ferry boat. The ferry boat in 1949 was still being hand-wound across the river Yare until early 1950 when the ferry became motorised.
The Archers came to Reedham Ferry early in 1949 and proud to boast we are still here now after 3 generations."
The view towards Mount Baker from the top of Herman Saddle, after a rigorous climb along the Chain Lakes Loop.
"Mount Baker (Lummi: Qwú’mə Kwəlshéːn; Nooksack: Kw’eq Smaenit or Kwelshán), also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a 10,781 ft (3,286 m) active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens. About 30 miles (48 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current glaciated cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 9 mi (14.5 km) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (29 m; 95 ft).
Mt. Baker is the third-highest mountain in Washington and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia, and to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.
Indigenous peoples have known the mountain for thousands of years, but the first written record of the mountain is from Spanish explorer Gonzalo Lopez de Haro, who mapped it in 1790 as Gran Montaña del Carmelo, "Great Mount Carmel". The explorer George Vancouver renamed the mountain for 3rd Lieutenant Joseph Baker of HMS Discovery, who saw it on April 30, 1792." (Wikipedia)

Men's Byzantine type chain - a very complex chain
The name of the chain comes from its location of origin and design, the Byzantine Empire.
Byzantium, known as the City of Gold, was the seat of one of the Western world's longest surviving and most influential empires. It is now known as Istanbul, a town steeped in riches.
The Byzantine gold chain is a chain of 4 in 1, which means that each connection passes through four others. It's a box chain variation where the direction of the link alternates.
The pattern was also called "Etruscan," "birdcage," "fool's dilemma," "idiot's trap," "idiot's delight," and "bird's nest."

Chaining books to the bookcase used to be common practice to stop pilfering in libraries. This is however the largest remaining in tact chained library. It dates from the 17th Century but the books go right back to the 8th Century.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Széchenyi lánchíd) is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. At the time, its center span of 202 metres (663 ft) was one of the largest in the world.
The young apprentice has unleashed the chainspell to fight her enemys.
