I spotted this mountain like cloud with a flat top, known as a cumulonimbus in the Beagle Channel.This type of cloud usually means a storm may be on its way.
There are distinctive regional variations of hedge laying in the UK. I wonder if it's the same for wall building. These flat-topped walls in Yorkshire were really interesting, and the light was mesmerising.
"Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled.
All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything."
[C. S. Lewis]

Bumpus Butte is located near Tower Junction with the Yellowstone river flowing around it below. Only rises 207 feet but is classified as a mountain.
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
Taken last winter on a visit to York. The medieval city of York has this wonderful old wall encircling it which is fully open to the public. It dates back to Roman times although most of the Roman bits were replaced by another wall built by the Viking invaders around 1400 years ago. The current wall, while retaining elements of the Roman and Viking structures, dates back to construction that took place from the 12th to 14th century, so basically it's a pretty old wall. What a treat it was for me to capture this elderly gentleman in his traditional flat cap strolling along this part of the wall. But look closely because this is something I just can't figure out. He doesn't appear to have any hands! I have no idea why that is. I haven't touched this image other than to process it in the normal way. Very weird indeed.

A flat cap (sometimes "scally cap") is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in Great Britain and Ireland. The hat is known in Ireland as a paddy cap, in Scotland as a bunnet, in Wales as a Dai cap, in New Zealand as a cheese-cutter, and in the United States as a driving cap. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton.

Candid eye contact street photography from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The flat cap being almost synonymous with the North of England. Enjoy!
Skookum Flats is an easy almost flat hike that follows the White River meandering through a forest of Pine and Fir with lots of wonderful ferns filling in the rest. That is until you get to Skookum Falls. In a snow storm the hillside got a wee slippery so much so that at one point going down I gave up and just sat down and slid. :-)
Gertrude awaits just over two miles that a way, I saw a lady running through the snow with her dog near the trail head, after that I had the forest to myself. Great day! :-)
If you are wearing gortex blow it up and climb inside.
Also known as Coronet Court, those who understand these things will easily guess by certain art deco markers in the architecture the general period in which these flats (as we used to call them) were built in New Farm. In fact they were erected in the period 1932/33 after an existing home kind of appropriately named "Burnage" burnt down! They are quite typical of many buildings in and around this suburb of Brisbane and right opposite New Farm Park of which I posted a photo yesterday.
