Lyme Park is a large estate in Cheshire, known for its historic mansion, formal gardens, and deer park. It is located in Disley near Stockport, on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
A late 16th-century Elizabethan L-shaped house forms the core of the current building, parts of which are still visible, particularly on the north front. In the 1720s and 1730s, the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni was commissioned by Peter Legh XII to transform the house into an Italianate palazzo. He added the iconic south front and the internal courtyard, blending Baroque and Palladian elements and creating the grand appearance for which it is famous today.
In the early 1800s, Lewis Wyatt remodelled much of the interior. Later in the century, William Legh, 1st Baron Newton, added new stables and created the formal Dutch Garden. Facing rising taxes and declining rents, the 3rd Lord and Lady Newton, eventually handed the house and surrounding 1,400-acre estate to the National Trust in 1946.

Janus 0-6-0 twin engine diesel electric no 38, bult by the Yorkshire engine co. of Sheffield, works no.2798 of 1961 sits stabled by the weighbridge at the Stocksbridge steel mill above Sheffield on Easter Saturday, April the 8th 2023. This loco shunts internal traffic, heated ingots and rolled steel, external traffic having ceased over a year ago.
Stabled nearby was another Janus, an earlier 1959 product to the same design, numbered 33. A look here ten days later saw the mill at work. 38 had disappeared, 33 had been moved and parked again at a similar spot. Rails show good use. I waited almost two hours, nothing came.. Maybe another time.
This place, along with an almost dormant Aldwarke arc furnace and mill is the last user of this successful type.
I'll start the image flow from my recent (October 2016) trip to the USA Canyon Lands with this image from Antelope Canyon.
This was my second trip to Antelope Canyon in Arizona, and I had two goals in mind; shoot some classic scenes with new eyes, skills, and equipment. AND shoot some more abstract compositions with the hope I could put my own impression on a place that surely every square inch has been photographed.
Hope you like this first of several from the canyon.

In 1901 the drawing were approved for a new Church,which would relieve St.Peter`s and St.Paul`s parishes,where the population growth was large.Construction started in 1903,with a planned completion date of 1906,which was when St.John`s Parish was founded .The Church was finally inaugurated by Bishop Gottfrid Billing on Holy Teinity Day,june 1907.Designed in the Art Noveau style by Axsel Anderberg.
Tower height: 60,2m.Height to ceiling 26,13m. Length of Church 52,27m.
Both externally and internally,the Church is adorned with roses cut and carved by hand,which is why it is called "The Church of Roses".The are more than 1,000 roses in the Church.
In it's natural beauty explodes the colors of floral internal combustion !

Tavistock is just a couple of miles from the western edge of Dartmoor, and is one of our favourite small towns in the south-west of England. It has a reputation for its food shops, and has a delightful indoor "pannier market", which we love visiting. There is an internal road surrounding the market building (out of shot on the right), and on one side is this charming cafe - Dukes Coffee House - with tables under cover. If we decide to visit Dartmoor we often call in here and have a coffee and a bite to eat. And Judy can never resist wandering round the market to see what bargains she can find.
No 105781- ‘Cone’ Gunpowder Van.
‘Cone’ was the GWR telegraphic code for a Gunpowder Van, these were dust proof vans built of steel sheet and lined internally with wood and up to a height of several feet with lead sheeting.
All interior nails and fittings were of brass or copper, great care was taken to ensure that even in closing or opening the doors there was no chance of steel contacting steel and generating a spark as all the door fittings were made of brass.
Photographed at Didcot Railway Centre which is a living Museum of the Great Western Railway.
The centre is an industrial museum, the buildings and exhibits are preserved as far as possible in their original state.
My friend Dave Denby and I recently had a day at the centre, I have to say it is a fantastic place with lots of photographic opportunities.

View of the curves on the viewing deck. We had a beautiful bright autumn day and spent sometime having a drink at the bar and viewing the sights
Back lighting gave the appearance that this Yellow-crowned Night Heron had swallowed a bit of sunshine, on Horsepen Bayou.
I debated internally about the selective colour, but in the end decided to stay with it, since the CN Tower (the worlds tallest free standing structure) demands to stand out...

“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” -Sir Edmund Hillary
It’s very true that internal challenges can be the most difficult. There will always be inner mountains to climb and if I’ve learned anything in my life, it’s that we’re much stronger and resilient than we give ourselves credit for.
When I’m feeling overwhelmed or beaten down, notebooks are one thing that have always helped me. To write things down and get them out of my head puts things into perspective. The problem often doesn’t seem so daunting then.

HMS Hood seen here on 9th January 1920 at the East Wharf of John Brown & Company, Clydebank, shortly before she left the yard for Rosyth
Note the two covering plates over the torpedo tubes. Also because of delays in her completion, and then urgency in getting her to Rosyth, Hood never received her final coat of paint at Clydebank as this photograph documents.
The shipyard diary for November and December 1919 states;
7th November 1919;
Progress on all outside work during this past month has been seriously impeded owing to the most unusual severity of the weather for a full fortnight in the middle of this month, for not only was there heavy snow but the thermometer frequently registered in the middle of the day from 15 to 19 degrees of frost.
On Hood, the third barbette and guns are now erected on board, and the fourth barbette has just been delivered and a commencement has been made with the erection of same. Satisfactory progress is being made with all internal work, especially electrical work and ventilation. The rigging of masts and derricks is making good progress.
Due to the weights being on board, the machinery has now been entirely set up and it is proposed to have a basin trial on 9th December.
A conference is being arranged for Friday 28th November as to whether the fitting of guns and other parts of the armament will admit of the ship leaving this yard on 9th January.
18 December 1919;
The fourth barbette with guns and gun shields is now erected on board. The basin trial of the engines took place on 9 and 19 December and it is now being officially arranged that the vessel shall leave Clydebank dock at mid-day on Friday 9th January.
This statue is very rare. It is one of seven in the world identified as the most famous queen of Egypt: Cleopatra VII. Cleopatra VII was born in Macedonian family called the Ptolemies, who were famous for their vicious infighting. Matricide, patricide and fratricide were common in many generations, including Cleopatra VII's. She had several relatives killed so she might survive.
For generations the Romans coveted Egypt, a bountiful sours of grain they could use to feed their army. They used the fighting in Cleopatra's family as an excuse to send an envoy to Egypt: Julius Caesar. The Romans expected Caesar to choose someone who would be friendly towards the Roman Empire to be Egypt's new pharaoh. However, Julius Caesar was charmed by Cleopatra's wit and intelligence and brought her back to Rome as his lover. He supported Cleopatra as she struggled against her sister Arsinoe for the throne of Egypt.
Unfortunately Caesar was murdered on the Senate steps, and Cleopatra fled back to Egypt. The next envoy to Egypt was Mark Anthony, a friend of Caesar's. Anthony also fell in love with Cleopatra, and together they fought against Rome until they were defeated and Cleopatra was captured. She committed suicide, probably so she could not be dragged through the Roman streets in shame. Many of Cleopatra's statues were destroyed by the Romans after she died.
Her pose is classic Egyptian, probably meant to remind the Romans that her family had ruled Egypt as pharaohs for three centuries. However, her face is done in Greco-Roman style. The triple uraeus (snake) symbol on her brow is rare and helped to identify this statue as Cleopatra VII. This statue was broken below the ankles, and the feet were later "restored" using another material. At the rear of the statue is a support called a plinth. S strip in the center of the plinth would have held names and titles, but this area has been filled in.
c. 30 BCE
My aside - I did not know Cleopatra's Mummy [I am not sure if it is Cleopatra VII] is in the British Museum. A little more research on my part and I am certain the mummy in the British Museum is not Cleopatra VII:
- Cleopatra VII was:
- The Daughter of Ptolemy XII Auletes (117- 51 BCE) , probably by Cleopatra V Tryphaena (ca 70-69 BCE)
-Succeeded her father Ptolemy XII with her brother Ptolemy XIII in 51 BCE
- Was expelled from Egypt in mid 48 BCE.
- Restored to power in August 48 BCE by Julius Caesar. With her brother Ptolemy XIV as co-ruler.
-Associated as senior ruler with her son Ptolemy XV probably 4 th September 44 BCE
- Died in 30 BCE
Here is what the plaque in the British Museum reads:
Cleopatra: the mummy of a young woman
The mummy and coffin of Cleopatra, daughter of Candace, from the Soter family burial, entered the British Museum in 1823 via the first collection of Henry Salt. The mummy is wrapped in many layers of cloth, with an outer shroud on which is painted a figure of the deceased woman. A comb and necklace of beads were placed on the body inside the wooden coffin. The hieroglyphic inscription on the coffin gives Cleopatra's age at death, for which a reading of 17 years, 1 month and 25 days has been proposed. X-ray studies using a CAT scanner show skeletal development and a fusion of the ends of the long bones which is consistent with this age.
The skeleton appears to be in good condition. The skull is tilted forward and the mouth is open. There are at least three packages in the right chest cavity, possibly the preserved internal organs. An object, about 9cm long, in the left chest cavity may be a roll of linen or a figurine. CAT scans also revealed the use of packing materials (probably mud or sand), which contribute to the substantial weight (about 75kg) of this mummy.

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in series hybrid vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model with production currently slated to begin in 2010. The Volt's propulsion system will be based on GM's new E-Flex platform.
Unlike current commercially available hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished by the electric motor, as the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not mechanically connected to the wheels. With fully charged batteries, this electric power may be sourced exclusively from its onboard lithium-ion batteries, for up to 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km).
After 40 miles (64 km), the range of the Volt will need to be extended through the use of a small 4-cylinder ICE which drives a 53 kW generator. The electrical power from the generator is then sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. This effectively extends the Volt's potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of fuel (which could be potentially extended for longer trips through conventional refueling).
The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can also be fully charged (technically ~85% SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.

At some point it was bound to happen. The edifice of reality slips and there it is: the essense of reality.
Inside the admin building of an abandoned foundry this internal window really caught my eye.
Looking at the image now -I can hear 'Twenty Four Hours' by Joy Division in my head. The title is the opening line of the song. But 'A valueless collection of hopes and past desires' is the line that really hits the nail on the head.
Internal loco D24 takes the line round to the Dillinger Hütte blast furnace which dominates the scene. Iron and steel production has existed on this site since 1685 with the AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke, Germany's first joint stock company, founded in 1809. The worlds first slab con-cast opened on site in 1962 capable of producing 450mm thick slabs along with a rolling mill with an effective width of 5.5m. Molten metal is also supplied to the Saarschmiede in the Suppenzug (Soup Trains), the drone was up for that although during a quick land to conserve battery the train appeared.
Harman Phoenix 200 shot on a Nikon F60. Internal camera meter was relied upon. Faith misplaced to an extent, this was not what I had in mind when taking this photo, but I still like the result.
Monastery Zamca
Zamca Monastery is a medieval fortified complex which was previously part of Armenian monastery, is currently considered the most important religious edifice built by the Armenian community in the city of Suceava .
Zamca medieval complex was built in 1606 by Armenian refugees in Moldova since the XIV century. High on a plateau in the west of the city, building occupies a good strategic position. The complex is enclosed by walls form an irregular quadrilateral (trapezoid), reinforced with internal and external buttresses without towers
