UK Urbex blog Sick Britain has the site report for this visit to Alderbury ROC.
The Royal Observer Corps operated for 70 years from 1925 to 1975 covering roles from spotting enemy aircraft to monitoring nuclear fallout. See Wikipedia for details: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Observer_Corps
Built for the I LUG NY LUG Window in the Queens Store. It'll be installed sometime in the next week or so.
Even in a small garden with small flower's there's a lot of exploration to do if you're a small lady bug!

This mosaic was acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's Panoramic Camera (Pancam) on Sol 2793 (Dec. 2, 2011). It shows a north-facing outcrop, informally named "Greeley Haven," where Opportunity will work during the rover's fifth Martian winter. The rover team chose this designation as a tribute to the influential planetary geologist Ronald Greeley (1939-2011), who was a member of the science team for the Mars rovers and many other interplanetary missions.
The site is of interest not only for its geologic features but because it has favorable northerly slopes to optimize Opportunity's solar energy as winter approaches in the southern hemisphere of Mars. After this mosaic was acquired, Opportunity backed up the slope to park at approximately 16 degrees northerly tilt and used tools on its robotic arm (Instrument Deployment Device, or IDD) to examine rock and soil targets. After deciding that the site could serve the mission well for the next several months, the team designated it as a memorial for Greeley, who taught generations of planetary scientists at Arizona State University, Tempe, until his death on Oct. 27, 2011.
The site is near the northern tip of the "Cape York" segment of the western rim of Endeavour Crater.
The image combines exposures taken through Pancam filters centered on wavelengths of 753 nanometers (near infrared), 535 nanometers (green) and 432 nanometers (violet). The view is presented in approximate true color. This "natural color" is the rover team's best estimate of what the scene would look like if humans were there and able to see it with their own eyes.
Exploration Days, Broadcasting

Today it was the turn of 60007 to work an oil train past where I've moved to in Derby. The loco was on the front of the 6M57/1104 Lindsey OR to Kingsbury Oil Sdgs tanks, seen a little further west towards Stenson Jn than yesterday at Barrow-on-Trent on 16/09/18.
Today is week end....full of places to shot!
Have a nice week end!
Aujourd'hui c'est le week end, plein de projets et de lieux à photographier!!
Je vous souhaite un bon week end!
The Space Exploration Masters competition encourages ideas to solve some of the space industry’s main challenges and the best products and services with commercial potential.
Winners were announced by ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer in the context of the Space for Inspiration event.
Start-ups, entrepreneurs, and research teams have tackled the challenges in human and robotic missions, resources, space tourism and more. This year’s competition partnered with the United Nations World Health Organisation to target health and food.

Got some good news from the doctor yesterday - my cellulitis has cleared up! :)
Bad news is that I've injured the rotator cuff in my shoulder, and it could take three or four months to mend! Makes it very difficult to take photos! :(
A 30 feet waterfall is just of the few obstacles awaiting explorers along the main river passage of Bluewater Cave, Baggao, Cagayan.
