Irving's 908 is seen shoving back across the Penobscot River to pick up the conductor after completing a pickup at Kirby on this bitterly cold morning. After picking up the conductor, and letting the train charge up a bit more it will be a straight shot to McAdam, where they will meet their counterpart, 907.
Kirby Hall is one of England’s greatest Elizabethan and 17th-century houses, once owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I.
Although this vast mansion is partly roofless, the walls show the exceptionally rich decoration that proclaims that its successive owners were always at the forefront of new ideas about architecture and design.
The Great Hall and state rooms remain intact, refitted and redecorated to authentic 17th- and 18th-century specifications.

I'd been watching the tide heights for a few days and hoping for the sky to be overcast. The tide had been higher for the two days before but I was in the Peak District for one of them and the sky was all wrong for the other.
After it taking over an hour to get through Heswall due to an untimely bus break down I arrived five minutes before the actual high tide.
You have a lot more time albeit only about 30 minutes as the tide comes in before you have to retreat to the car park and I was cursing that broken down bus.
Conditions were as perfect as you could hope for. Absolutely no wind giving only the gentlest of waves overflowing into the marine lake and an overcast sky.
At 9.3m, ( I take the height from Hilbre Island. It takes another 15 minutes or so before the high tide hits West Kirby, ) the path around the lake is about 0.4m under water and even in these really calm conditions you can feel the ebb and flow pulling at your ankles. It's slightly unnerving to see the jettys disappear under water and it looks for all the world like you are stood in the middle of the estuary with no escape.
As the tide turned I waded out along with another tog I'd met at Meols a few evenings before. We only had about 10 minutes before the intrepid dog walkers returned and it had started to rain. Fortunately I remembered to bring a plastic A4 sheet to cover the lens and filters and had everything dialed in correctly. Managed to get 6 long exposures before holding the sheet over her lens so she could get her shot too. The conditions soon passed but we both got the shots we came for.
A hectic 15 minutes but pleasing nonetheless.

The aspect of photography I both love and hate the most... getting up freakishly early in the morning...
Today I woke up at 4:30 am in order to get out to the coast. After walking down the road to this spot I soon found myself knee deep in Pacific Ocean wave action.
After getting home I looked over the images, then took a hot bath, then slept a while... in the bath... finally, I woke up and processed the image a little, and now here it is.... so... what's next?
From Wikipedia:- "One of the great Elizabethan houses of England, Kirby Hall was built for Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, beginning in 1570. In 1575 the property was purchased by Sir Christopher Hatton of Holdenby, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I."
With all the smog and haze leaving the north west, i decided to pay west kirby visit, the marine lake was so calm and the sun was setting over my right shoulder, the calmness didn't last long though.
A stunning view of the water down close to the Marin County side of the Golden Gate Bridge, stretching across the Bay in the distance.
It's a mile hike through the forest but it's worth it on a beautiful day in the Bay.
Just outside Corby is Kirby Hall. lt was built in1570 by Sir Cristopher Hatton who was Lord Chancellor to Elizabeth the 1st. lt is a fine example of a Elizabethan country home and is open to the public.A very interesting place to visit and a walk around the grounds which was excavated a number of years ago and restored to its original design

I hiked down to Kirby Cove in the pre-twilight. Easy enough one mile trek in the dark. Very peaceful morning only sharing the cove with the birds and a curious seal. Fun, worthwhile trip, I came home with several keepers.
St Michael's Church in the village of Cold Kirby
The present building was erected in 1841. It replaced a much older church, whose origins dated back to the 12th century. The font is the original 12th century one. One of the two bells is from the 13th century. The other is dated 1665, and inscribed "God savee his church".
Cold Kirby is located in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park 5 miles west of Helmsley

Kirby Grindalythe is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated about 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Malton.
The name of the village is derived from Old Norse. Kirby kirkiubỹr means "village with a church", the Grindal element is a distortion of Cranedale, meaning "valley with cranes" and lythe is from Old Norse "hlíõ" meaning slope.[3] Until 1974 the village lay in the historic county boundaries of the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. (Nearest town being Corby). Kirby was owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. It is a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Construction on the building began in 1570 based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the classical style over the course of the decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact.
