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.
Up until Autumn 2006, Alkborough Flats was agricultural land. The flood-bank of the Humber Estuary was breached and 450 hectares of farmland were flooded. the confluence of the River Trent and River Ouse as they flow into the Humber. It was all part of a huge scheme that will restore some of the Humber Estuary's natural flood control basins, while simultaneously creating a haven for wildlife.

"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]

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!
It was a very misty morning on Thursday with a heavy frost, so I thought I'd slip over to Attenborough in the hope of seeing the Kestrel in wintry conditions. No luck there and the sun only appeared for a short time at midday before disappearing into the murk.
On the way home in the late afternoon in the flat murky light, I came across this Fieldfare, as it ate crab apples in the tree at the visitor centre end of Barton Lane, defending its fruits from the occasional Blackbird; or foraged for berries and jumped for flying insects in the trees on the other side of the track.
Thanks for viewing and thanks for your faves and comments.
