Gatepost decoration - a study in texture & shape (round).
The rest of this structure is sandstone, but I am pretty sure the ball is concrete.

This farm laneway gets lots of attention from photographers, including myself. I waited to see if the setting sun was going to illuminate the entire vineyard, but only the barn caught the sun.
Tarnagulla. Population 130.
Gold was discovered here at Sandy Creek in 1852. Many New Zealanders went to the gold rush here and the second main mining area was called Poverty Gully after Poverty Bay in New Zealand. In 1860 Sandy Creek was changed to Tarnagulla. The Victoria Hotel and theatre and some other buildings in the town date from the early 1860s when it was founded as a town. It must have been a religious place as between 1864-69 Anglican, Wesleyan, Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Welsh and Primitive Methodist churches were opened in the town! But as the diggers left the churches were demolished or transported elsewhere and only four remained by the end of the 19th century. The town had a Mechanics Institute from 1858 and the Victoria Hotel and Theatre from 1861. The Victoria Hotel is now the public hall for Tarnagulla. Gold mining ceased around 1912 at Tarnagulla and not much has happened there since. But the beautiful Gothic Wesleyan Methodist church with polychromatic Flemish bond brick work was burnt down in 2000. The churches are now private residences including the Presbyterian 1864; the Catholic 1912; the Anglican 1864. The 1863 built Courthouse and the 1856 Gold Warden’s Office, later Post Office are residences.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west. The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926. To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere"). The park has nine main gates allowing entrance to the different camps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruger_National_Park

I took this shot very early in the morning. The first rays of sunlight broke through the gaps in the oak trees giving just enough light for a shot.
These are 2 of the 3 that successfully fledged. It's a bit cheesy, but I just couldn't resist.

Those two white gateposts will become familiar in future years as 171 pulls out of Laytown with the 12.48 Dundalk - Dublin Connolly. Interesting there is a full brake behind the loco and a heating van at the rear. Did this service convey mails from Dundalk?

English History- Manor House and Gatehouse. Ashby St. Ledgers, England.
The gatepost are built with "beggars seats". A person needing to visit the rich mans house might have to wait here and would sit in the small alcove built into the gate pillars.
The gatehouse at the Manor at Ashby St. Ledgers, Northamptonshire. It was here, in the room above the Gatehouse, with its privacy from the main house and clear view of the surrounding area, that Robert Catesby, his servant Thomas Bates and the other conspirators planned a great deal of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Catesby's plan involved blowing up the Houses of Parliament on 5th November. This date was chosen because the King was due to open Parliament on that day. At first the group tried to tunnel under Parliament. This plan changed when Thomas Percy was able to hire a cellar under the House of Lords. The plotters then filled the cellar with barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes, because of his munitions experience in the Netherlands, was given the task of creating the explosion. Catesby was killed at Holbeche House whereas his servant was executed in the following January. The church is dedicated to Saint Leodegarius and has wall paintings showing the Passion of Christ c1500.

Found this little chap on our gatepost this afternoon so moved him onto our flower beds so that he wouldn't get eaten by one of our rather hungry feathered friends.
A large brownish-grey moth with a pink and black striped body. This large immigrant from Africa has a wingspan of 8-12cms. Some adults fly to Europe from June to August and breed there; the offspring are those most commonly seen in Britain and Ireland. It flies low (only a few metres) over the sea.
The male has heavier markings than the female and sometimes has a broad central cross-band. The male also has thicker, longer antennae than the females.
It usually holds its wings close to the body whilst resting, like the Privet and Pine Hawk-moths.
It flies from June to December, but is most commonly seen from late August to late November, when other migrant species are often in the UK.
It is nocturnal and rests by day, when it can often be seen on walls, rocks and tree trunks. It comes to light and can be seen from dusk to dawn. As it has an unusually long proboscis, it is able to feed on tubular flowers e.g. tobacco plant (Nicotiana), petunia, lilies and phlox, that many other moths cannot feed on. Pupates underground.
