That was a joke. I spent my 20s and early 30s climbing in the Tetons and Yosemite, so am well aware what a real climb is. And I once summitted Popocatépetl in Mexico at 17,802 feet. This was just a hike, really.
The summit of that little hill, marked with a Flickr Note, is about 1,850 feet.
It was cold this morning and the need for warmth conquered any thought of style, but the house is warmer this evening and I thought I ought to make up for it, so dug out this old set from 2014.
Travellers, both young and old, climb the hill to Clifford's Tower. Cliffords Tower is a keep that was part of the York Castle. The castle was built by the Norman, William I to help control the city of York which had been under Saxon and Danish rule. The tower dates back to 1069.

Love conquers Hate...that is the main theme in Romeo and Juliet. At the end of this tragedy, we see that a feud that lasted centuries has actually been conquered by the love they share for each other. Their souls are joined for eternity...in the name of love.

This was our last day of our Honeymoon and we spent it touring the Colosseum. When we arrived, the sun was exploding behind the arches. Before too long, the clouds had rolled in and began to rain all over. We had a fabulous time. Now we're back... reality is stark, let me tell you!
About: The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, built of concrete and stone. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.

Ram the Aries, Ramos the Druid, Rama the Conqueror. Three faces among the many golden faces of the greatest emperor of all times. History forgot the Emperor who has been a model for Hannibal and a hero for Alexander the Great, emperor Rama who dwarfs them both with his power and glory. While Druid Ramos nursed and healed Hyperboreans, his brother Cuchulainn had only taste for fight. Often he caused his brother in single combat, the outcome was not always favorable to him. Joining the magic to his art of war, Ramos was often the winner. Following the events we saw the two brothers had to leave the island home, and solve the exodus averc their clan. Cuchulainn leave westward to address the coasts of present-day Mexico, while his brother Ramos chose to go east. His powerful procession moved bag and baggage to one of the most famous migrations of prehistory. It may be difficult to imagine such an exodus. The queues of men, women and children, sometimes heavily loaded, dragging their belongings on antique wheelbarrow with two wheels, without the help of the horse, which was not yet domesticated. But with the help of flying machines, weapons technology and military science dating from their great ancestors, the Atlantean, master of pre-diluvian world. Ram went in exodus – is the right word, because there is more common ground between the odyssey of Rama and the exodus of Moses. Ram has not yet crossed the Red Sea. He won the Caucasus where he fell back to present-day Turkey, where he settled for several years. So the people of Moses made several stops, shorter or longer, so that the exodus of the Hebrews lasts much the forty years of the Scriptures. Forty years to a few tens of kilometers, must overlap snails or stop at all the bars. In fact, forty years is the length of the long exile of Ram, how he went to Persia and India. How he pacified the country, using magic methods, but not reluctant to fight killer if necessary. “In several important occasions, Ram proved worthy of his high reputation. Its active wisdom warned all needs, smoothed all difficulties, or whether he spoke, whether he is, in his words we felt like in his actions something supernatural. He entered the thoughts he foresaw the future, he healed the diseases all nature seemed to be submitted.
It is he that Hindus still worship under his own name of Rama, he is as Tibet, China, Japan and the vast northern regions of Asia, known as the Lama, Pa, Pa-pa Pa-di-Shah, or Pa-pa-si. He is the first ancestors of the Persians, the Iranians have called Giam-Shyd, because it was the first monarch of the world.” says Fabre d’Olivet. If Ram is indeed the first king of men, it is also the title of Gilgamesh. Ram him and would do so only one hero? This is possible because the presence of this gigantic hero is at the origin of many traditions.
Thus, the Egyptian Ra is one of the other names that lends itself to this hero. The Celts called Bel, the Gauls call Belenos, and the Persians will become Belial. The Age of Aries will give him many imitators, all of which will demand its magic and its science, as Ab Ram Hebrew who became Abraham. It was argued that the great Solomon was Ram’s fabulous flying machine and its operative secrets of magic. The Emperor Heliogabalus, initiated by lightning, would have been too Rama in his ancestors
According to the conventional view of history, humans have only walked the Earth in our present form for some 200,000 years. Advanced civilizations appeared several thousand years ago, but much of the mechanical ingenuity we know in modern times began to develop only around the Industrial Revolution

My last visit here on a fine winter morning in 1981. 50029 also present, having a repaint which was also happening to 50034 (see below), perhaps odd as the major refurbishment programme was under way at Doncaster.

The number of waves I've crested during my 25 year career as a mariner and Coast Guardsman are innumerable.
50009 "Conqueror" seen through the station awnings at Torquay with the 0940 Newton Abbot to Paignton on 4th June 1987.
The train was presumably a stock-positioning move for a London service although I had to leap after 6 miles at Torquay for 47432 back to Exeter for the main attraction of the day - 50049 on the 1125 Exeter to Portsmouth, with the same loco back out from the south coast into Waterloo.
"Conqueror" was withdrawn 4 years later in January 1991, being scrapped at Old Oak Common in March of the same year.
In a display of steam and soot, UP #4014 and #844 begin the climb up the west slope of Sherman Hill, the highest point on the Overland Route. For the first time in sixty years, a Union Pacific Big Boy heads to the top of Sherman Hill.
Monument to the Conquerors of Space. Second highest among the monuments of the USSR/Russia. A 107-meter obelisk in the form of a rocket plume, with the supply of designer Sergei Korolev, lined with polished titanium plates. As well as many things made in the USSR, this rocket takes off high is a unique engineering design. Its authors are sculptor Andrey Faydysh-Krandievsky, architects Mikhail Barshch and Alexander Kolchin, as well as engineer Lev Shchipakin.
On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin becomes the first human being to travel into space. This spacecraft name Vostok 1. Chief engineer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.
This old pickup truck was stripped down and then never put back together ... the weeds have kind of overtaken it now.
Recorded arriving at Torquay station 50009 'Conquerer' had charge of 1S64, the 10:15 SO Paignton to Glasgow Central Holidaymaker Express. The Class 50 would work this summer dated Table 51 InterCity service to Birmingham New Street where a Class 86 would take the train forward via the West Coast route.

Having conquered the Cullerin ranges, the quintet consisting of 48s35, 4911, 4904, 4917 and C510 head downhill towards the Breadalbane planes on dusk with an extraordinarily late 3248 to Maldon.
Overnight, the train failed at the top of the hill at Galong. Unable to lift the load, locomotives off Qube Logistics 3112 assisted the train back into Harden, where it was then stabled. The culprit, RL304 went light engine to Junee with 4908 to be repaired, whilst two extra 49 classes were put in its place and C510, which was originally leading, was made the 5th unit owing to drawgear requirements.

My husband and I took a day trip to the NC mountains yesterday and it was absolutely gorgeous and a whole lot of fun. Over the next few weeks I'll be posting lots of pics from this trip ( you might not ever want to see a mountain again lol ).
The next couple shots are me conquering a couple lifetime fears.. heights and falling.. and I think I did pretty well if I do say so myself.. like they say.. go big or go home!
The swinging bridge elevation is 5282 ft.
Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Warwick castle is inextricably entwined with the national history of England. The oldest parts of the castle that we see today at Warwick are medieval. However, there has been a strategically important fortress on this site since 1068, with the first wooden castle having been constructed by William the Conqueror.
This historic and influential fortification is itself situated in an equally important and strategic landscape.
