Corfe Castle is an iconic medieval fortification situated above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. Today, its dramatic ruins—nestled in a gap within the Purbeck Hills—stand as a poignant reminder of centuries of turbulent history in southern England .

 

Built shortly after the Norman Conquest, Corfe Castle is one of the earliest examples of stone fortifications in England. Its strategic location, controlling a narrow gap on the route between Wareham and Swanage, made it a key military stronghold from the outset.

 

Over the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle underwent significant expansion and modification. In the 17th century, amid the upheavals of the English Civil War, the castle was one of the last Royalist bastions in southern England. Lady Mary Bankes notoriously led its defense against Parliamentarian forces, but by 1645 the castle fell, and Parliament ordered it to be slighted—deliberately rendered unusable as a military fortification .

The Westmorland Dales In The Yorkshire Dales National Park

 

This is an area of tremendous history and there are stone circles, remains from the romans and medieval villages to be found.

 

In the Mallerstang valley you will find the atmospheric ruins of Pendragon Castle with its reputed connection to Uther Pendragon – the father of King Arthur. Towering over the castle is Wild Boar Fell where Sir Richard de Musgrave is thought to have killed the last wild boar in Britain. There could be something in this as his tomb is in Kirkby Stephen church and, when it was examined, in addition to his bones there were two wild boar tusks.

 

More modern history was created by the building of railways. The Settle to Carlisle railway cuts through the Westmorland Dales as part of its dramatic journey through the Dales with its stunning examples of Victorian engineering. There was also Stainmore Railway which was built to bring coal from the Tees Valley over to Cumbria for use in making iron. Although this railway closed in the 1960s it has left some tremendous reminders of its existence such as the viaducts over Podgill and Smardale and the station at Kirkby Stephen East.

 

The beautiful and now tranquil setting of Augustinian Lanercost Priory belies an often troubled history. Standing close to Hadrian's Wall, it suffered frequent attacks during the long Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. The mortally sick King Edward I rested here for five months in 1306-7, shortly before his death on his final campaign.

 

The east end of the 13th-century church survives to its full height, housing within its dramatic triple tier of arches some fine monuments.

Llyn Llech Owain Country Park is is a stunning 158-acre expanse of woods and lakeland near Cross Hands with nature trails, an adventure area and visitor centre. At the heart of this spectacular park is its dramatic lake which is surrounded by peat bog and there’s a lovely myth associated with Llyn Lech Owain. Legend has it that Owain Lawgoch ("Owain of the Red Hand" - who led an army of French mercenaries against the English in the Hundred Years' War), was entrusted to look after a well on the mountain named Mynydd Mawr. Each day, after extracting enough water for himself and his horse, Owain was always careful to replace the stone but on one occasion he forgot and a torrent of water poured down the side of the mountain. The resultant lake was hence named Llyn Lech Owain - the lake of Owain’s slab. Today, specially constructed paths allow for safe access over the bog and around the lake. The paths are well-surfaced and accessible to wheelchair-users. A forest track provides a longer walk or cycle ride around the country park and there’s a rough mountain bike trail for the more adventurous cyclist. Much of the park consists of coniferous woodland, planted by the Forestry Commission during the 1960s and there are also areas of dry heath and broad-leaved woodland.

Rubin Pavilion and Lobby (2004)

The Museum opened its dramatically redesigned front entrance and new public plaza on April 17, 2004. The new entrance pavilion rectifies the architectural imbalance, as well as resolving the practical issues of access, that had remained since the original monumental staircase was removed in 1934. Polshek Partnership Architects developed the design concept for this multi-staged, $63-million-dollar capital construction project.

After the sun had done its dramatic red bit, I turned round and saw this. With the moon in the perfect position for her eyeline, this also had me excited. I couldnt believe my luck this morning - and I only saw this because I couldnt sleep! I was gutted initially that there was no high tide, as apparently her tail sits in the water... but after the two shots I did manage, I was not at all disappointed, and will definately come back again when I am close!

Sunrise Sneffels Range Ranch - Ridgway, Colorado

 

The Sneffels Mountains, located in southwestern Colorado, are a stunning subrange of the San Juan Mountains, part of the larger Rocky Mountain chain. Dominated by the towering 14,157-foot Mount Sneffels, this rugged region is renowned for its jagged peaks, alpine meadows, and vibrant wildflowers that bloom each summer. Mount Sneffels itself, often called the “Queen of the San Juans,” is a favorite among climbers and photographers alike for its dramatic silhouette and panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. The range’s glacially carved terrain and colorful rock formations create some of the most picturesque mountain scenery in the state.

 

Situated near the towns of Ouray, Ridgway, and Telluride, the Sneffels Mountains offer countless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including hiking, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing. Yankee Boy Basin, one of the area’s most popular destinations, provides easy access to waterfalls, wildflower fields, and trailheads leading toward Mount Sneffels’ summit. The mountains are especially striking in autumn, when golden aspen groves contrast sharply with the dark, rugged peaks. With their combination of natural beauty and accessibility, the Sneffels Mountains embody the wild, unspoiled spirit of Colorado’s high country.

In October 2015, Holly & The Sacred Flame unveiled “Plague” at their Oddities performance. It was one of the most powerful, unnerving and artistic performances I have ever seen. Created from the ground up and brought to life in all its dramatic darkness. It wasn’t just the costumes that were spectacular but the very movements of the dance seemed to inspire fear and awe, beauty and the macabre. A few people didn’t understand but you didn’t have too, its art and sometimes not understanding art can be a good thing too. I was one of the few who got sneak peaks before the performance and I knew it would be pure gold followed by “I need to do this as a shoot in the backdrop of the forest”. Before I even saw one move I knew this was something we needed to explore further. It’s quite difficult to ask them to stop mid performance with questions like “hey, can you just hold that pose right there” lol or “Oooo oh…look at me lol.. Don’t think they would have appreciated it lol. Originally rescheduled due to weather, I’ve had these ideas roaming around in my head since October. In 2012 we all came together as a creative partnership intent on making beautiful things with beautiful people. We have become so much more. Sisters and soul mates, artists and muses, friends and companions all with the same wonderful visions of maybe just making the world brighter, making people think or feel something, anything. You wouldn’t believe how hard that is in this day with the constant assault of online media. Life is hard, but achieving happiness shouldn’t be hard if you surround yourself with the right people. I don’t know what I did to be blessed with so many loving and supportive sisters but I love them so very much….In love and art, we ascend, we bloom and we live forever in the warm embrace of each other.

Oddities 2016 is coming in October! If you missed the last one you probably shouldn’t miss this one, jus sayin.

Not just another pleasant park! But a place known for its dramatic geological features. For these features the park is on the National Registry of Natural Landmarks (November 1969). www.monroecounty.gov/files/parks/MendonGlacial%20updated%...

Nestled within the lush countryside of Victoria, Hanging Rock is a natural wonder that boasts a rich history and breathtaking beauty. This remarkable geological formation, also known as Mount Diogenes, rises majestically from the Macedon Ranges and offers visitors a unique blend of adventure, mystery, and scenic splendor.

 

Exploring Hanging Rock

Hanging Rock is renowned for its dramatic rock formations and panoramic views. The climb to the top, though steep, rewards hikers with stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. The walk is approximately 1.5 kilometers long and takes about an hour, making it accessible for most visitors. Along the way, you'll encounter intriguing rock formations, including the famous Hanging Rock itself, which appears to defy gravity.

 

Rich History and Culture

Hanging Rock is steeped in both Indigenous and colonial history. For the local Wurundjeri people, the rock holds significant cultural importance, featuring in their Dreamtime stories. In more recent times, Hanging Rock gained fame through Joan Lindsay's novel "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and its subsequent film adaptation, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the site.

 

Activities and Attractions

Hiking and Picnicking: The walking trails provide ample opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying the natural surroundings. The picnic areas are perfect for a leisurely lunch with family and friends.

 

Wildlife Watching: The area around Hanging Rock is home to a variety of wildlife, including kangaroos, koalas, and numerous bird species. Keep an eye out for these creatures as you explore.

 

Events and Festivals: Hanging Rock is also a popular venue for events, including concerts and festivals. The natural amphitheater provides a unique and memorable setting for live performances.

During the war between the Romans and the Sabines in about 290 B.C., Tarquin, king of Rome, challenged Attius Navius, a fortuneteller, to read his mind. When Navius declared that Tarquin's thought would be accomplished, Tarquin revealed that he thought Navius would cut a whetstone in half with a razor, which he did immediately. Sebastiano Ricci took this subject from Livy's History of Rome, first published in A.D. 14, but he showed Navius cutting a column, a more aesthetic object.

 

Ricci pared the composition down to its dramatic essentials--two large figures making eloquent gestures--and added a recognizable setting and bystanders to create a sense of community. The slightly shadowed mother and child is a typical Ricci motif. Effectively employing the usual Roman Baroque sense of dramatic light and color, he adopted Giovanni Battista Gaulli's strong, rather hot colors for the costumes and the sky. He also adopted the characteristic faces of the child and the man on the extreme left from Gaulli.

  

Extremely rare in cultivation, Nernstia mexicana is one of the most beautiful flowering plants in the world. Native to San Luis Potosí and Hidalgo, Mexico between ~1000-3600m elevation, this slow-growing shrub has tidy grey-green leaves with recurved margins and a matte finish. These serve as a perfect backdrop to its dramatic pure white trumpet flowers which emit a fantastic fragrance. This species has considerable horticultural potential and it is my hope that it will someday be available to plant collectors and gardeners in all climates suitable to its cultivation.

 

Nernstia mexicana belongs to the Coffee-Gardenia family (Rubiaceae) and more specifically to the Portlandiinae subtribe of the Chiococceae tribe, which means that it is a close relative to other glamorous genera such as Osa and Portlandia.

Ahu Tongariki, on Easter Island, is the island’s largest ceremonial platform, showcasing 15 imposing moai statues standing in a striking row against the Pacific Ocean. Located on the southeastern coast, this iconic site was restored after a devastating tsunami in 1960, highlighting the resilience of Rapa Nui culture. The towering stone figures, some reaching 30 feet with their pukao topknots, face inland, symbolizing ancestral protection. Its dramatic setting and historical significance make it a must-see landmark.

The Monastery and Church of Sant Joan de las Abadeses captures the essence of Catalán/Benedictine spirituality in the Pyrenees, if not in all of Spain. Its dramatic sculpture Descent from the Cross - the ensemble is considered by some as the ultimate expression of Romanesque art in Spain. The altarpiece is also known by the name of the Most Holy Mystery because in 1426 some remains of consecrated hosts were found incorruptible in a reliquary hidden inside the head of Christ.

Explanation: Why are there unusual pits on Pluto? The indentations were discovered during the New Horizons spacecraft's flyby of the dwarf planet in July. The largest pits span a kilometer across and dip tens of meters into a lake of frozen nitrogen, a lake that sprawls across Sputnik Planum, part of the famous light-colored heart-shaped region named Tombaugh Regio.

Although most pits in the Solar System are created by impact craters, these depressions look different -- many are similarly sized, densely packed, and aligned. Rather, it is thought that something has caused these specific areas of ice to sublimate and evaporate away. In fact, the lack of overlying impact craters indicates these pits formed relatively recently.

Even though the robotic New Horizons is now off to a new destination, it continues to beam back to Earth new images and data from its dramatic encounter with Pluto.
