North Yorkshire
The old lead mine is situated on the moors between Cononley and Lothersdale , North Yorkshire
The 1840s and 1850s saw the high point of production at Cononley Lead Mine which was owned, then as now, by the Dukes of Devonshire. The Dukes of Devonshire had inherited the manor once owned by the Earls of Cumberland.
Although there were exceptions, most of the men employed in the mine had moved relatively short distances to Cononley from other lead mining areas in Yorkshire.
Production of lead ore, latterly very limited, continued until 1881 when the mine was closed.
It is now a Grade II Listed building
From 1840 Cononley produced an average of 470 tons of lead ore per year until 1870, when output fell rapidly as the available ore was exhausted and new reserves were not found. The mine closed briefly in the slump of 1872, but reopened with a much smaller workforce before finally closing in 1881. www.nmrs.org.uk/mines-map/metal/mid-pennine-mines/fsouth/...
The old wall on Lingmoor Fell provides a great Lead-in line for the drama of the snow-capped Langdale Pikes.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

Meanwhile the rain in Sydney is causing hallucinations!!
It hasn't stopped for three days. It's like Woodstock!!
So here's 'Creedence Clearwater Revival' with their tribute to a vexed appearance at a rain-soaked Woodstock Concert in 1969:

Bad mojo day today , pouring with rain today and not been out so have had to search out something for the 2023 shot every day group , ended up taking a picture of my pencil sharpener !
This model of a Spitfire is about four inches long and eats lead via the underbody air-intake !!
Bought this for just £1.99 at Old Warden Airfield on one of my Shuttleworth Photo Workshops !
The last image from my sunrise shoot at the Poppy field, by this time it was raining a fine drizzle but when the line of sheep started their meander towards me I had to hang about .
One leads and they all follow but who decided to take the lead I wonder.
Although nearly fully grown and independent, before crossing the path, this male kitten wanted his mother to take the lead.

Verflossen ist das Gold der Tage,
Des Abends braun und blaue Farben:
Des Hirten sanfte Flöten starben,
Des Abends blau und braune Farben;
Verflossen ist das Gold der Tage.
