I am growing to like my recently and cheaply acquired, slightly faulty (VR not working, AF hunting) Tamron 'walkabout' lens.
Given the right circumstances, it does come up with some sweet images.
The old fashioned way to keep someone off your property. Put a cable across the road and a simple fence. Taken at Caesar Creek Lake near the boater's beach.
There are a number of these 'orphaned' gateposts in the dale, where the hedges have been ripped out or the associated walls robbed for their stone. These are near the old mining hamlet of High Gill, East Mines.

Well a big shock this morning so without breakfast i headed out the back of the house before it dissapeared
I've tried to capture these gate posts before but not been happy with the results
The Federal Trade Commission and a U.S. Capitol Gatepost (designed by Charles Bulfinch in 1827 and removed from the US Capitol grounds in 1874 by Frederick Law Olmsted) at 7th St and Constitution Ave, NW.
Someone has planted some Begonias on their gatepost in some tubs and they are so pretty. One of my favourite flowers.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Staunton, County Durham, UK .
Taken with a HTC Desire 510 mobile using the free app retro camera, not a bad result as the phones camera is meant to be a weak point .
An Art Nouveau terracotta gatepost cap stamped “Victoria Works Co Pontypridd”.
The works dates from the late 19th Century and is believed to have closed at the end of WW1.
These have to be the classiest gateposts ever - the heads are quite small but beautifully carved. In the grounds of Anglesey Abbey
The Entrance to Charleston Farmhouse Garden, Sussex. The urns on the gateposts were designed and made by Vanessa Bell's youngest son, Quentin.
According to Penwren's comment yesterday on another photo of this garden: "Sir Peter Shepheard, in charge of the restoration, has described it as an "apotheosis of the traditional English cottage garden." He wrote notes to remind himself to "avoid neatness". Like the house, it was not intended to be tasteful or restrained. Interestingly, the garden has been organic since the 80s."
Charleston Farmhouse and Garden, located on the South Downs outside the village of Firle, near Alfriston, East Sussex, was the home or weekend and holiday retreat of Bloomsbury Group figures Vanessa Bell and Clive Bell, Vanessa’s companion Duncan Grant, and Vanessa’s children, Quentin and Julian, from 1916 until the 1960’s. On a Friday afternoon in July, we toured Charleston with Flickr contact Penwren, who graciously met us in Alfriston and first showed us the village and church in Firle, where Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Quentin Bell are buried.
Photography is not allowed in the house itself, so these pictures are of the garden only. The house itself was indescribable, with every square inch covered in enchanting Modernist artwork of all kinds, and the guided tour, lasting over an hour, was outstandingly well presented and informative.
The story of Charleston and its occupants is told very well in the book Charleston, a Bloomsbury House and Garden, by Quentin Bell and his daughter, Virginia Nicholson (Frances Lincoln – paperback edition 2004). Alibris.com had numerous copies available in August, 2008 at: www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=1025402 &matches=16&a...
We also enjoyed two small books published by Snake River Press and available by mail or in person at the excellent Much Ado Books in Alfriston: Bloomsbury in Sussex, and 20 Sussex Gardens (https://muchadobooks.com)
The list of visitors reads like a Who's Who of English intellectual and artistic life in the first half of the 20th Century: Leonard and Virginia Woolf (Vanessa's sister), Lytton Strachey, John Maynard Keynes, T.S. Elliot, Benjamin Britten are just a few.
One of numerous images taken in and around Ditsworthy Warren. This farmhouse and the area around it was used in the making of the recent film "War Horse".
