Chimney sticking out of a modern shed with elaborate copings. Traprain chimney is a prominent landmark from the A1 at East Linton.
Derek Purdey says "Splendid engine house chimneys are a feature of East Lothian farms, reminders of the days when the static threshing machines were steam driven, and whilst Sunnyside presents the best facade as you climb the hill, Traprain has the better chimney". (25 Cycle Routes Edinburgh and East Lothian HMSO 1996).
The vents are for the grain drier. Barley is tested for water content and drying ensures that it can be sold for malting. Too wet and it may sprout in storage, overdried and it cannot sprout and cannot be malted. Grain driers became a feature of farms when field drying of grain (in stooks of eight to twelve sheaves) was made obsolete by combine harvesters. The pipe sticking out above the trailer is a grain auger used to lift grain out of trailers and into the shed. The cylindrical building is a grain silo.

A rainy day visit to the Holyhead Maritime Museum.
The museum is housed in an old lifeboat station that they have had since 1998.
The Holyhead Maritime Museum is a maritime museum located in Holyhead, North Wales.
Housed in what is claimed to be the oldest Lifeboat station in Wales (built c. 1858), it houses a number of collections.
The lifeboat station opened in 1858 and the first lifeboat was unnamed, launching 18 times, saving 128 persons. Replaced by the Prince of Wales, she launched 38 times and rescued 128 persons. In 1875, Member of Parliament Joshua Fielden and his brothers donated the Thomas Fielden, named after their father, which necessitated extending the house. In 1890, a second large boat was obtained, for which the house was extended to enable beach based landing from a horse-drawn carriage.
After local maritime exhibitions were held in 1982 and 1983 elsewhere, a trustees group was formed on 24 September 1984. The trustees obtained a nine-year lease on the redundant St Elbods church from the Church in Wales, with the museum opened officially by the Duke of Westminster in March 1986.
On expiration of the lease, and after failing to agree a lease within a new development, Stena Line offered the museum a peppercorn rent on the renovated Lifeboat house at Newry Beach. Deciding to improve the building through the construction of new visitor facilities, after a successful bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and a renegotiation of the lease to 99 years, the museum reopened on its current site in 1998.
The museum today tells the maritime history of Holyhead and Anglesey, from earliest days to the modern ferries to Ireland. It features an interactive combination of historical artifacts, models and sensory exhibitions. All of its part-time volunteers have extensive maritime and local knowledge. Accessible to wheelchairs, the museum has its own cafe, the Harbour Front Bistro.
The Holyhead at War exhibition is located in an air raid shelter located alongside the Maritime Museum.

A visit to Powis Castle, another National Trust property. A look around the gardens at Powis Castle.
Powis Castle (Welsh: Castell Powys) is a medieval castle, fortress and grand country mansion near Welshpool, in Powys, Wales.
It is known for housing the treasures that were brought home by Robert Clive and his son, Edward Clive from India. The Clives obtained them during their service with the British East India Company.
The castle has also been known as Castell Coch, Castell Pool, Castell Pola, Castell Pole, Castell Trallwng, Red Castle, Redde Castle and Castel Cough.
The seat of the Earl of Powis, the castle is known for its extensive, attractive formal gardens, terraces, parkland, deerpark and landscaped estate. The property is under the care of the National Trust.
Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) visited the castle as a child when her mother took her to tour England and Wales in 1832.
Aviary Terrace
Grade I listed building
Aviary Terrace in Powis Castle Gardens
Exterior
History: The design of the terrace gardens at Powis is attributed to William Winde, who is known to have been employed to rebuild the Powis London residence between 1684 and 1688, and who is also thought to have been responsible for work on the castle from c1673. There is no firm dating evidence for the gardens but it is unlikely that the gardens predate 1668, and they were probably largely completed by 1705. From 1703, the name of a Frenchman, Adrian Duvall, is also associated with these gardens (to him is attributed the blasting away of rock to create the terraces, and the hydraulics of the lost water-garden). It may be that Winde began work before 1688, and that Duvall was brought in to continue construction, possibly working for Winde.
Description: Stone steps with stone copings to brick parapet lead down in an angled flight from the top terrace at the right of the aviary which forms the centrepiece of the terrace. This is symmetrically arranged as an arcaded structure of 7 bays, the central 3 bays slightly advanced. Brick, with moulded stone imposts. A further wide arched niche to the left has rusticated stone quoins and voussoirs; a similar arch is shown to the right in the Bucks' illustration of 1742. To either side of the aviary, a brick revetment wall with rubble base and stone copings forms the retaining wall of the top terrace. To the left, a further wall descends in a series of curves, retaining the aviary terrace level at its western extremity.
Listed at grade I as part of the outstanding late C17 terraced gardens at Powis, highly important as a very rare British example of an Italianate garden.

This is the red brick Acocks Green Police Station on Yardley Road in Acocks Green. Going past it on the bus (when I went to old Yardley), I saw this and other interesting buildings that I knew I had to come back sometime and take.
This one does kind of look like a local council building more than a police station that it is now.
It is locally listed as Grade B.
It was built in 1909 for Yardley Rural District Council. It includes a Courthouse. Made of red brick and terracotta with a tile roof. Two-storeys. Almost symmetrical elevation to Yardley Road. Central section with rusticated ground floor, above which is a central pedimented bay with flanking projecting bays with segmental pediments. To either side are two-storey canted bays. Sliding sash windows throughout. On corner with Alexander Road is an octagonal turret with lead dome and keyed ocular windows. Low boundary wall with mould terracotta coping.
Have a look at the below link for information on this and the other buildings around here.

Keep away from triggers like juice, liquor and fiery sustenances. For some ladies, passionate miracle is a trigger; others might uncover a hot feast, a warm room, or a warm cot will trigger a flush.
He hates to be cooped up anywhere especially the hospital. He gets so stressed and almost inconsolable. I really felt for him when this came across FB last night. I can see the stress in his eyes.
All that said I think it's an awesome picture, like a window into his soul.

Since I often have no words or can’t even speak, I tried to capture one aspect of how I feel due to the awful, ongoing effects of experiencing unspeakable trauma—“blocked off,” trapped, isolated, alone, “figuratively disfigured,” stuck in the dark with perhaps some distant light noticeable once in a while, awful.
After creating these self portraits I was compelled to find a way to print these photos at home so I could share them with my psychologist at my neurofeedback therapy appointment—I write out and take notes since I’m not able to talk much and felt these photos would supplement my writing and perhaps give a look into how I feel.
Once I had processed the photos and decided on a sequence for the images, I noticed they seemed to show me a progression—the first image being completely stuck in a state of panic, shut down, hardly surviving, believing I’m not allowed to and not really being able to even try to look for help or support. And in the progression I came up with, the pictures seemed to show me a story—my own story—of very slowly, over time becoming more courageous, stronger, showing more awareness, more capacity and drive to fight for survival, life, growth and healing.
Since most of our belongings are packed up and in storage I don’t have access to much and I was able to find some (very lightweight) sewing thread and a very flimsy needle my daughter had here with her and I used our low budget home printer to create this little collection of photos. Normally I wouldn’t use such low quality items for something like this. I didn’t have much to work with and I was determined to not let this completely stop me from creating. I have since made a few more little photo collections like this and this practice and process has been very helpful in my coping and healing journey. I’m so thankful I gave this a try and for how I find this process to be therapeutic and how it helps me continue to grow.

____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.

I had a movie night last night and just didn't get around to a 365 shot. I'm totally coping out but at least I'm honest about it. Plus, I'd love to print this for my office.
Coping almost flawlessly through the heat of Summer on the hottest pond, Nymphaea Perry's Baby Red has a well deserved reputation for a very reliable growing habit and a modest small to medium size lilypad spread.
Prolific blooms three to five at a time are to be expected on an established position, which begin to spoil on the very hottest days, when air temps are 100°f. Midday dappled shade would be good in climates with hot summers
Grown on a small pot with low fertility Baby Red stunts to a small size, lilypads spreading a foot or two wide. Grown bare root in a mud pond and it will double its size and bloom at a different rate

As a giant storm approached, everyone left early. Except for a few of us, who were stuck in the lab running experiments. So, we called our good friend Jose and made the most of a really crappy night.
