At this location just outside Ulverston, there is a sweeping panoramic view of the Leven Viaduct. Whilst it's appealing to the eye, it's less so on a photograph if you try to include it all, as it looks lost in the middle of a big expanse of water and sky.
I decided that a better approach would be to concentrate on a section of the viaduct, and I had initially looked at using either railings or benches to act as a foreground, to give some sense of scale and depth. However, a walk around revealed this sculpture, which provided an ideal frame to keep the composition nice and tight, and this is the result.

As you may well know, 2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle (of which I am very proud to be a member) with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members' work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers, with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the last 50 years.
The book, called '50 Years of Phoenix' is available to buy now. Click on the link below to order your copy:

Crossing the street in Vietnam proved to be very challenging. There are very few traffic lights and those painted lines on the street don't mean much. Your best bet is to just start walking slow and let the motorbikes swerve around you. Any sudden movements could be painful.
...Bay, that is. A recent vacation to New Jersey and Delaware included a crossing of the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, which transports passengers across the Delaware Bay between the two towns in those states. I took this shot from one of the ferry's upper decks as the ship was leaving Cape May, NJ. The ship in the background is the ferry that had just returned from Lewes, DE. A flock of seagulls turned out to see us off!

Or Too Much Water!
We went for a drive to see a place known for it's 'Miracle Water', but at this river crossing we found the road washed out on the other side and the river flowing over the bridge. We also got a flat tyre/tire on the car, so had to change to the spare while trying to take pictures of a small digger trying to remove the trees (one about 20m/66' long) from beside the bridge. Photos of that procedure are still to be uploaded to flickr (very slow internet in Fiji).
With no spare we turned around and returned to Nasinu, Suva.

The cross is formed from a single piece of moderately coarse-grained granite. It has a considerable lean to the west though seems firmly set - the corner of a presumed socket stone is visible. The arms of the cross are aligned east-west. The total length of the cross is 2m. The shaft, arms and head all have well-chamfered edges, which make the cross octagonal in section, though discounting the chamfers the shaft is nearly square, being approximately 0.3m by 0.29m. The chamfers are between 0.1m and 0.11m wide. The head of the cross is rounded at the top, and extends 0.28m above the arms, while the arms extend 0.18m beyond the shaft and are 0.29m deep. An Ordnance Survey bench mark has been cut on the south side of the shaft - the top of the bench mark is 0.49m above the turf. The south side of the east arm of the cross is missing approximately 0.15m of chamfer, probably due to an old break. The visible portion of the presumed socket stone, which is of granite, measures 0.8m by 0.45m by 0.15m thick. It appears to be held up by another stone 0.8m by 0.26m by 0.16m thick angled underneath it on the WSW side. Another partially buried stone lies approximately 0.75m to the south. Its visible portion measures 0.55m by 0.4m by 0.15m thick. These stones are believed to form part of a platform on which the cross is sited.
