** One of the places Mary wanted to revisit was the Devils dyke which is just a few miles from Brighton. It was a place she came too when she was a young. It's certainly a beautiful landscape. It is a coincidence that she now spends a lot of time in the East Yorkshire Wolds whose chalk landscape is so similar to the Sussex Downs . After a walk in the Dyke we went to a pub that Mary had been fond of the Shepard and Dog in the village of Fulking. It a pleasing pub in a wonderful landscape the only downside was being charged an obscene amount of money for two pints but thats southern England for you .
Devil's Dyke is a 300 foot deep V-shaped dry valley on the South Downs in Sussex managed by the National Trust it is about a mile in length . The valley is the result of solifluction and river erosion. More than fourteen thousand years ago, the area experienced an intensely cold climate (but not glacial conditions). Snowfields capped the South Downs. Permafrost conditions meant that the chalk was permanently frozen. In summer, the snowfields melted and saturated the top layer of soil, because the water could not permeate the frozen chalk underneath. Waterlogged material situated above the permafrost slid down the gradient, removing material by friction, exposing deeper layers of frozen chalk. When the Ice Age ended, the snowfields covering the South Downs melted, and rivers formed across Sussex. The Devil's Dyke valley was completed by one such river.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
And here is the infrared shot from this morning with a monochrome treatment, which do you like better?

Thanks for all the faves and comments, even for just taking the time to view my photo's, much appreciated.
One of many Dykes radiating out from the East Spanish Peak. This dyke is much larger than it looks, unfortunately I have nothing nearby to show its scale. This may be the last of my Spanish Peaks foothills series. There is still so much more to photograph around the mountains, but I may wait until we get a fresh snow fall.
Wall Brown Butterfly resting on a Dry Stone Dyke (Dry stone Wall) in Kirkguzeon shown a big decrease in the past few years due to habitat loss and no doubht climate change. One eyespot on fourwing and four smaller ones on Hindwing
A dry stane dyke, also known as a dry stone wall, is a wall constructed from stones without any mortar or binding material to hold them together. These walls are prevalent in the upland areas of the United Kingdom, particularly Scotland.
Seen next to the Noddle Hill Nature Reserve .in East Hull..( I uploaded another Photo of this Dyke on March 25th which see )
while driving the back roads and foothills of the West Spanish Peak, we came across a Dinasaur Back dyke. It was huge, giving way to beautiful farmlands.
It has nice detail zoomed in. I tried something different with this. I shot a 2 x 10 array of 20 focus stacked images to produce a super high resolution wide angled Pano with my 100mm macro lens. It provides a unique perspective and sharp front to back.
Using my tripod with camera mounted vertical, I shot 20 images focus stacked, then I indexed my camera 10x from left to right, then up one, and then right to left for 2 rows of 10 stacked images. I was concerned my PC would run out of memory processing 400 images into one. Using Helicon focus and Lightroom, it worked fine.
you can get a sense of scale from the tractor on the right
I went to Devils Dyke last night hoping for a good sunset. Sadly that never happened and it stayed overcast. Looked like Portsmouth had a great sky though.
