This is a hand held shot from the Port Imperial ferry terminal while waiting for the boat to arrive. It's not bad for 96mm at 1/20 and ISO 3200. IBIS is good, but it didn't work at a high rate of success at these settings.
The beheading stone is thought to have been used for capital punishments in the 15th Century and was probably used in the executions of various important figures.
In 1425, Murdoch, Duke of Albany and former Regent of Scotland, two of his sons and his father-in-law, the Earl of Lennox were executed. King James I was taking revenge for Albany's 18 year abuse of power when the King was held captive in England.

“Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower”
My morning glory vine is finally going to seed. She has provided so much seed, I will be harvesting for the next couple of weeks!
If anyone would like to have some seeds, I would love to share the happiness with you so you can have some blue loveliness next year. Flickrmail me your address and they will be on their way to you!

Held the last Saturday of October the sheep come out of the mountain pastures and parade down Main Street. It’s not just sheep but cattle, tractors, vintage cars, beauty queens and just about anybody that can ride a horse. It’s a real small town treat!
On Friday we held another railway industry charity photo shoot in aid of Martin House Hospice, Halton Hospice, the Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club and the RSPCA at Nantwich.
The event raised £5,000 for charity and was attended by 65 photographers.
Our hosts were Locomotive Services Limited at their excellent Crewe depot and featured their Inter City electric fleet, including the unique class 89 as well as an Inter City liveried class 47.
The event was a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the completion of London to Glasgow West Coast Main Line electrification in 1974.
A huge thanks to the team at Locomotive Services for their support, with a particular shout out to John Humphries and his team. A big thanks to the AC Locomotive Group for allowing us to include the class 89 and a massive thanks to Oliver, Vincent and Tom for helping with the lighting and stewarding.
It's another shining example of how the railway industry can pull together to create great events in aid of a good cause. And on a personal level, having started my railway career in August 1990 amongst these locomotives at Longsight Electric Traction Depot and done my guard's training with Inter City at Crewe's bungalow, it was great to relive some memories.
