Shot in "Lavaux", vineyard protected by UNESCO.
Half way up (or so I was to believe) to the second lake. Had to pause and take this shot looking back down at the first lake.
For a certain period of time, I wanted to photograph this old house. Now, with this wonderful christmas-lighting, I had to capture it.
I was really quite disturbed as I headed along the ridge from Mam Tor. Climbing up Back Tor I came up to a rock upon which someone had painted the words "Half Way". I looked all around me. There was no one else in sight. In fact I had hardly seen a soul for the last hour. How did anyone know this was, "Half way?" I hadn't told anyone where I was going. I hadn't even planned how far I would go myself. How on earth could 'they' possibly know? It was ridiculous ! For all they knew I could have been walking to Leeds!
But it was the truth that haunted me. Because unknown to them (surely?) this was the spot where I turned round and retraced my steps several miles back to my car. Where they had painted "Half Way" was precisely half distance in my walk that morning! Spooky or what? Or was it a sign from above?
The last of Sunlight lights up the gigantic cliff face of Yosemite’s iconic Half Dome. This perspective, zoomed in to 400mm from two miles away, shows the cliff face’s character catching the warm hued sunlight as it is chased away by the shadow rising from below. An unnamed outcrop sticks out on the eastern side of Half Dome, shown here on the left. What an incredible view it would be up there in that spot only accessible by skilled rock climbers. A few trees straddle the otherwise knife edge overlooking the granite wall and its array of cracks and patterns of varnish. Patterns of moisture leave a waterfall of dark varnish down the face suddenly interrupted here and there by the peeling off of layers by slow but relentless exfoliation through the millennia.

Half Dome in Yosemite, from a different angle, lending a new affect to this iconic feature. From Illilouette Ridge, south of Glacier Point. Tenaya Canyon to its left, Clouds Rest to the right. The tree is a juniper or a cedar, not sure which; it's heavily sculpted by the wind on this exposed ridge. Mt. Conness on the horizon just right of the tree.

'1F' 0-6-0T 'Half Cab' stands in the yard at Barrow Hill.
The loco has been purchased by the Barrow Hill Engine Shed Society and is being prepared for restoration.
Built at Derby in 1880, the engine has local history as in 1947 it was moved to Staveley (Barrow Hill) shed and worked on shunting duties at Staveley Ironworks.
Note the 41E (Staveley) shed plate on the smoke box.

Normanton Church, Rutland Water.
Rutland Water provides a scenic setting for the fairy-tale splendour of Normanton Church, a structure that appears to float on the lake when the reservoir is full. Normanton Church is the county of Rutland’s most famous landmark. Yet it could all have been very different.
A public outcry of 1970 that saved Normanton Church from destruction when plans to flood the area around it were being set in motion. When the demands of a growing population had to be met, consultation took place to decide on a suitable site for a much-needed new reservoir and the Gwash valley in Rutland was chosen.
The valley had to be cleared and so Normanton Church was deconsecrated and scheduled for demolition, but the general public had other ideas and their protests were successful. When it came time to flood the area, it became obvious that the church would be partially submerged once the high-water level was reached. This would mean the gradual erosion of its lower walls and foundations. A hastily formed trust was organised with the aim of rescuing the building from a watery demise and various proposals were considered.
Finally, it was decided that the lower level of the church should be filled with rubble and topped with concrete to create a new floor. This would be approximately 60cm above the water level. The church would become a small island once the reservoir was filled, and so a causeway was built connecting it to the nearby shore of the lake and an embankment was constructed around the building. A layer of boulders was then put in place as a defensive breakwater.
