After a long climb down the abandoned mine, this is what we found, an old ladder and a barrel, very beautiful.

A ladder is a tool which is made for people to climb up or down. Ladders have two vertical supports that go along the whole length of the ladder. Between these supports are the horizontal rungs. The rung is what the climber can put his foot on. (Wikipedia)
This juvenile woodpecker was inspecting the birdbath in my backyard. A young male just starting to grow the red feathers in his crown. This species of woodpecker is one of the smaller ones in our area and their high-pitched "yip" calls alert me to their presence.

A class 25 hurries past Plumpton Junction signal box with a down flask train in June 1984. The wooden ladder - which is marked "B.R. Barrow" - was being used to support some form of staging during the painting of the signalbox, I guess it wouldn't be the approved way of working at height nowadays!
On the opposite side of the tracks here, the Lakeside branch had both an east and a west connection to the main line forming a triangular junction, but there was also another similar - though smaller - triangle of lines on this side of the sidings serving limestone quarries until the late 1940s. Both these "triangles" of tracks can clearly be traced on satellite view maps like Google Earth or OS Aerial view.
Viewed from the access gate it can be seen that the sleepers are still in place from one of the lines that fed into the sidings from the Plumpton Quarries.
Light people wanted, easy work highly exciting. Why fly with eagles when you can plummet to the depths.
Only one hundred feet down that's all...

A fragment of industrial geometry suspended in silence.
The rigid rhythm of metal rungs contrasts with the infinite grey — a structure without a destination, a quiet metaphor for ascent and emptiness.
Found a lonely ladder and isolated spot not too far from city center. The ladder belongs to Kulttuurisauna, which offers a public sauna in rather unique environment. On a warm day, one could definitely have sweet time here.
Jacob's ladder (Polemonium) was given its common name because the arrangement of its leaves is somewhat ladder-like. However, it's Jacob's ladders' flowers that are the real attraction. Polemonium caeruleum and its cultivars send up clusters of flowers atop long stems in late spring to early summer. The bright blue varieties are among the most popular, blooming in clear tones of blue and bluish-purple, offset by yellow centres.
Jacob's ladder is a hardy perennial plant. It is upright and clump-forming, but it will spread by seed. Most Jacob's ladder plants have bell-shaped flowers in shades of purple and lavender, but there are also white, pink, and yellow varieties available. The compound leaves are composed of rows of narrow, pinnate leaflets. The branches grow from a basal rosette and arch and sway as they grow tall.
This is one leg of a step ladder. The red anti slip foot is designed with safety in mind by gripping the floor and keeping it from sliding. Foot measures 1-3/4" W. HMM
