The rain kept away for a change ..trudging over soggy moorland in search of a lone tree! Didn't find one but still good fun :-)
There are two enclosures fenced with stones. The smaller one for the horses in the main roundup, and for the sheep found in the second and third roundups
Catedral, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La catedral de Santa María, llamada también catedral primada de España, es un templo católico de arquitectura gótica en Toledo, considerado por algunos como el opus magnum de este estilo en España. Su construcción comenzó en 1226 bajo el reinado de Fernando III el Santo y las últimas aportaciones góticas se dieron en siglo XV cuando en 1493 se cerraron las bóvedas de los pies de la nave central, en tiempos de los Reyes Católicos. Está construida con piedra blanca de Olihuelas (en el término de Olías del Rey).
Se la conoce popularmente como Dives Toletana (con el sentido de la rica toledana). Es sede de la archidiócesis de Toledo.
La torre fue diseñada e iniciada por Alvar Martínez. La construcción se inició en el año 1425, inmediatamente después de terminar Alvar Martínez el claustro. El trabajo de Alvar Martínez llegó hasta la culminación del cuarto cuerpo. Es gótica, con alguna influencia mudéjar. Tras una elevada base de planta cuadrada (en cuyo interior se aloja la capilla del Tesoro) se superponen cuatro cuerpos y por encima un quinto cuerpo de menor altura. En el segundo cuerpo tenía su vivienda el campanero y el tercero sirvió de prisión eclesiástica. Entre el primer cuerpo y el segundo se desarrolla horizontalmente un friso de mármol negro donde se ven realzados en mármol blanco los escudos del arzobispo Juan Martínez de Contreras (1422-1438). La altura total alcanza los 92 m.
Alvar Martínez no dejó trazas ni dibujos para continuar la coronación. El remate de la torre con el cuerpo octogonal fue obra del arquitecto Hanequin de Bruselas, que llegó para trabajar en esta catedral junto con un grupo de grandes figuras: Egas Cueman, Enrique Egas y Juan Guas entre otros. El cuerpo octogonal está acompañado de pináculos y arbotantes y se remata con una flecha que soporta tres coronas imitando una tiara.
En origen, el proyecto fue levantar dos torres,[cita requerida] una a cada lado de la fachada occidental, pero solo llegó a elevarse una, la de la esquina noroeste, mientras que de la opuesta solo se levantaron los primeros tramos, siendo este el lugar donde más tarde se construiría la Capilla Mozárabe. Según Pedro Navascués, no está claro si «fue realmente una torre lo que aquí se quiso levantar o fue tan solo el recinto de una capilla funeraria o una sala capitular».
The Cathedral of Santa María, also called the primate cathedral of Spain, is a Catholic temple of Gothic architecture in Toledo, considered by some to be the magnum opus of this style in Spain. Its construction began in 1226 under the reign of Ferdinand III the Saint and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when in 1493 the vaults of the feet of the central nave were closed, in the time of the Catholic Monarchs. It is built with white stone from Olihuelas (in the area of Olías del Rey).
It is popularly known as Dives Toletana (with the meaning of the rich Toledan). It is the seat of the archdiocese of Toledo.
The tower was designed and started by Alvar Martínez. Construction began in 1425, immediately after Alvar Martínez finished the cloister. Alvar Martínez's work reached the completion of the fourth body. It is Gothic, with some Mudejar influence. Behind a high square base (in which the Treasury chapel is located) there are four superimposed bodies and above a fifth body of lesser height. The bell-ringer had his home in the second body and the third served as an ecclesiastical prison. Between the first and second bodies there is a horizontal frieze of black marble where the shields of the archbishop Juan Martínez de Contreras (1422-1438) can be seen highlighted in white marble. The total height reaches 92 m.
Alvar Martínez did not leave any traces or drawings to continue the crowning. The top of the tower with the octagonal body was the work of the architect Hanequin from Brussels, who came to work on this cathedral together with a group of great figures: Egas Cueman, Enrique Egas and Juan Guas among others. The octagonal body is accompanied by pinnacles and flying buttresses and is topped with an arrow that supports three crowns imitating a tiara.
Originally, the project was to raise two towers,[citation needed] one on each side of the western façade, but only one was built, the one in the northwest corner, while only the first sections of the opposite one were built, this being the place where the Mozarabic Chapel would later be built. According to Pedro Navascués, it is not clear whether "it was really a tower that was intended to be built here or was it just the enclosure of a funeral chapel or a chapter house."
This is one of the sheltered spots in Willow's enclosure. I love the butterfly tree, the secret to keep it flowering is clipping off the browned flower heads.
XIV
when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

This little group of farm buildings known as Dunnabridge Pound Farm lies just off the B3357, a couple of miles east of Two Bridges in the centre of Dartmoor. The farmhouse is Grade II-listed and according to British Listed Buildings dates from the late 1500s or early 1600s, possibly with earlier origins. Dunnabridge was one of the 17 Ancient Tenements of the Forest of Dartmoor first
mentioned in documents in 1305.
Just out of shot to the right is Dunnabridge Pound, which is a medieval stock enclosure with parts dating back to the Bronze Age. There is a second farm a few hundred yards to the south, but otherwise it is quite isolated. It seems unusual to find a traditional postbox in the wall.

Shimizu-mon is a gate to the Kitanomaru compound of Edo Castle. The structure in the photo is Yagura-mon (櫓門) meaning the gate with turret. It is combined with the smaller Kourai-mon (高麗門) meaning Korean Gate to form the Masugata enclosure to check the visitor.
It was originally constructed in 1607 along with the Kitanomaru compound and repaired in 1658 after the Meireki Fire in 1657. It remains largely intact since then including not only the Masugata enclosure but also the stone steps leading to the Kitanomaru compound.
I believe it is the best preserved gate of Edo Castle.
Kitanomaru was developed as a residencial area for important Tokugawa clan members. It was converted to a military base after Meiji Restoration. It was converted to Kitanomaru Park after WW II installed with the Budokan concert hall and a few museums. Unlike other parts of Edo Castle that are managed by Imperial Household Agency, Kitanomaru is managed by Tokyo Prefecture.
The tall building with a telecommuication tower is Chiyoda City Hall. Ciyoda City is one of the 23 municipalities that constitute Tokyo in the narrow sense. It occupies the most central location in the capital of Japan.

Boudicca, who hatched in July 2020, leads the king penguins on their walk at the Calgary Zoo. It's a free-choice enrichment activity that runs daily from Jan. - March, weather permitting. They seem to know when it's time for their walk, and like well-behaved school children, line up at the gate waiting for the keeper to let them out. The penguins follow a bucket of fish and are rewarded after they return to their enclosure.
A leat is a man-made watercourse or stream designed to move water naturally, following the contours of the ground, to wherever it is required, whether that is a farm, a quarry, a mine or other industry. It is thought that the dozens of leats on Dartmoor add up to several hundred miles. One branch of the Long Ash Leat, which is on the western side of Dartmoor, fed water to Long Ash Pits, which were possibly medieval or earlier tin workings where tinners collected alluvial deposits of tin along stream beds. Tin mines were generally developed much later. This shot was taken at Four Winds, just off the Tavistock to Princetown road.
There was once a local school here, on the far side of the stone enclosure. This was attended by the children of families working in local quarries and agriculture. Foggintor School opened in 1914 and at one point had over 80 pupils. But as employment opportunities declined so too did the size of the school roll. The school finally closed down in July 1936 when the decline in the quarry industry reduced the number of families in the area. The buildings were not finally demolished until the 1960s.
Having seen photos of the school I was interested to see that it was built in brick. I suspect this stone enclosure is a much earlier structure that was taken over and used by the school, though I have not been able to find any further details.
