The walk up Poplar Road in Dorridge to Mill Lane (near Bentley Heath), to see the level crossing and cross over the footbridge.
Was roadworks up here, on the pavements, so kept having to cross the road a few times.

Edited New Horizons PR image of Charon with two craters with provisional names (which should be allowed to be permanent).
Edited New Horizons image of Pluto and Charon, taken on 3 July 2015. Many interesting details and features are visible on Pluto now, and some on Charon as well.
This is the male, around 80mm pepipalp width. Really active for a nocturnal species. I just love the way the look so other worldly!

There Chairon stands, who rules the dreary coast -
A sordid god: down from his hairy chin
A length of beard descends, uncombed, unclean;
His eyes, like hollow furnaces on fire;
A girdle, foul with grease, binds his obscene attire.
-Aeneid (Virgil)

Icy world Charon is 1,200 kilometers across. That makes Pluto's largest moon only about 1/10th the size of planet Earth but a whopping 1/2 the diameter of Pluto itself. Charon is seen in unprecedented detail in this image from New Horizons. The image was captured late July 13 during the spacecraft's flight through the Plutonian system from a range of less than 500,000 kilometers. For reference, the distance separating Earth and Moon is less than 400,000 kilometers. Charonian terrain, described as surprising, youthful, and varied, includes a 1,000 kilometer swath of cliffs and troughs stretching below center, a 7 to 9 kilometer deep canyon cutting the curve of the upper right edge, and an enigmatic dark north polar region unofficially dubbed Mordor. via NASA ift.tt/1Gps8Op
