From the inside of the lean-to
I had the camera mini-tripod braced against the front post of the lean-to, which is why the usual bottom vignetting is on the left. The dark triangle at top right is the edge of the roof. The large rock just in front of the lean-to is visible at the bottom of the frame.
The lean-to was in the shadow of higher ground to the right but you can see the sunshine on the far wall of the gorge. The lean-to is at the bottom right of the map trace in the second image. You can see that I was walking around.
February 1, 2025. Letchworth State Park. A short jaunt from Hogsback to the lean-to and back on a bright and sunny afternoon. About 15F/-9C. A beautiful day for a walk. I was thankful for my new mittens.

Every building in town has a lean to either right or left. Actually, the whole town is sinking and shifting. Such an old place...
I could imagine the train announcement if this was a true incline of the railway line!!

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I discovered this abandoned lean-to cabin while exploring the Bridger Range. It was very well hidden against this cliff and not visible until you're up close.
Our lean-to conservatory is really tiny but we have managed to fit in a chest of drawers, a reading corner and a small table where we have our meals on days when it's not quite warm enough to be outside.
4M27 regular DRS 88008 'Ariadne' leans to the canted curve approaching Winwick Junction.
This is the cut-off line opened in 1866 connecting Winwick & Golborne Junctions thereby avoiding Vulcan Bank and Newton-le-Willows.
Wrong side for the light but in this instance I think it gives depth to the image.

A 'Merchant Navy' Pacific leans to the curve as it takes the Salisbury line. As long as steam locomotives are recalled these machines will remain a focus of controversy. Perhaps the most intriguing question is, how did a railway management committed to electrification, and which had bought no steam engines for five years, allow itself to be persuaded into acquiring nearly 200 express engines filled with fantastic novelties, all of which gave a lot of trouble. One can only assume that Bulleid exercised a similar charm to that of Brunel.

The loco, 35009, was named 'Shaw Savill', built in 1942 and withdrawn 1964.
I really enjoy ethnic foods and lean to the east and cook authentic Indian food most of the time. I aromas and spices are so alluring that some years ago I went through my kitchen and tossed out all my 'normal' spices and replaced them with Indian fare and learned how to cook the delicious food of India.
Americanized Chinese food is probably {?} very different than food in the food eaten in China. We have a large Chinese population in the metro Detroit area and one day I wanted to sample some more 'authentic' Chinese food and visited a Chinese restaurant intended for the Chinese palate. I was the only honky in the place and had a rough time navigating the menu but settled on Hong Kong won tons. The restaurant was quite busy and I didn't ask for help with the menu.
I was hoping to take a Chinese girl who was visiting America (school) to help me decipher the menu, but she went back to China before I had a chance.
This photo is NOT that restaurant but just stirred these memories.

You can see exactly where the courtyard wall met the wing in this photo. There was also a lean-to building built against the courtyard wall, the first room of which must have been a guard room, as there was a doorway through the wall of the wing into the entrance pend.
The second laird was Thomas Corry de Kelwood and Newbie. Obviously Kelwood and Newbie (both in Dumfrieshire) were properties of greater significance to the family than Thomaston - or any of the other properties they owned in Ayrshire, Dumfrieshire and Kirkcudbrightshire. Thomas and his wife Margaret Napier, daughter of John Napier of Merchiston, received charters to his various lands from King James V between 1536 and 1542. He was killed in 1547 'under the king's banner' at the battle of, what was then called Fawside, but is generally known these days as Pinkie or Pinkie Cleugh.
Yes, the tower does lean to the left.
The mosque of Agia Sophia Paphou is located in the area of Moutalos, also known as Ktima, near the Municipal Market of Paphos and is one of the cultural attractions in the capital of the homonymous province.
A building with a combination of medieval and Ottoman elements of architecture, visited by many local and foreign tourists in a historic town district on Namik Kemal Street, the mosque of Agia Sophia Paphou was originally a Christian church dedicated to Saint Sophia, while during the Frankish rule and the Venetian occupation, it was the seat of the Bishop of Paphos. The original temple was a three-aisled basilica with a dome and was built in the 12th-13th century, but was probably destroyed in the 14th century AD. Remains of this period are the northern aisle, while the north side of the arch of the central aisle is still visible from outside.
Later, in the 15th or 16th century, in its place was built a smaller temple, a type of a cruciform church with a dome, which incorporated the northern aisle of the original construction. The dome is an eight-sided drum with eight windows, one on each side. Access to the temple was available from the two entrances to the west and south.
Following the Ottoman rule in Cyprus (in 1571) and up until the Turkish invasion of 1974, the church was converted into a mosque, with all necessary alterations to the building. A minaret was added to the northwest corner, the walls were covered with plaster, while wooden flooring was built inside and new furnishings were placed according to the Islamic standards. Around the temple there is a Muslim cemetery.
The mosque of Agia Sophia Paphou, or else the Kebir mosque or Moutalos mosque, is one of the points that the visitor will pass during his tour of the beautiful narrow streets of Kato Paphos and specifically of the Turkish neighbourhood of the Ktima. It is not accessible inside, but one can enjoy its beauty from outside.

This impressive rock formation is based on sandstone laid down in the time of the dinosaurs, the middle Triassic period, over 200 million years ago. It is named after a sloping, lean-to or shed roof. Terrigal, NSW
Church of St Mary the Virgin, Stanwell Middlesex stands on the south side of the old village and consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, west tower, north porch, and vestry . It is built of flint and stone rubble, with freestone dressings and slate roofs.
The nave has three bays, the base of the tower forming a 4th bay at the west end. The arcades are 13c, with alternate circular and octagonal piers. The remains of 13c piscinas have been found in the chancel and the south aisle. The south aisle and chancel are of the 14c: The trussed-rafter roof of the chancel and the ogee wall-arcading possibly seating for the monks of Chertsey Abbey, may be rather later than the chancel itself. The nave was heightened with clerestory windows and roof in 15c
The chancel east wall was rebuilt in 18c.
All restored in 1863 when the north aisle and north porch were rebuilt, and together with the south aisle, extended to the west end of the tower, and the bottom of the tower was opened out to form part of the body of the church. The north vestry was erected at the same time.
The three stage tower was begun in 13c, the second stage which is flint chequerwork, is 14c, and the third, with an embattled parapet, slightly later. The slender shingled spire leans to the south-west.. The clock was placed in 1768. There are six bells, the earliest of which is dated 1766
No priests are mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book, but there was one at Stanwell's hamlet of West Bedfont which had a church by mid 12c. The first endowment to a church here was perhaps In 1204 when King John confirmed a grant of land made by William of Windsor to the parson of Stanwell.
By the middle of the 13c the rectory of Stanwell had become a sinecure. In 1246 a rector and chaplain are mentioned together, and by 1254 there was a vicarage which seems to have remained in permanent existence. The vicars were presented by the rectors, who were in turn presented by the lord of the manor, or by the Crown during the minority of a lord, until 1415. In that year Richard Windsor gave the advowson and one acre within Stanwell manor to the Benedictine Chertsey Abbey in exchange for West Bedfont manor. The church was appropriated to the abbey in the same year, the bishop reserving to himself a pension of 20s. which he would otherwise have received from the church and its vicars. In 1537 Chertsey surrendered the rectory and advowson to the Crown which granted them to the new royal foundation of Bisham on whose dissolution they again reverted to the Crown. Mary Tudor gave them to the Bishop of London in 1558 but this grant may never have taken effect. The advowson has since remained the property of the Crown.
The rectory, however, was leased by the Crown in 1546 to Sir Philip Hoby 1558 of Bisham flic.kr/p/WhQLKT for 60 years. It was later leased, like Stanwell manor, to Sir Thomas Paston and then to Edward Fitzgarret, and was granted with the manor to Lord Knyvett. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/P0x78Y in 1603
Among the medieval rectors were several king's clerks, as well, possibly, as members of the Windsor family. It seems unlikely that any of them lived here after mid-13c, but the vicars presumably lived there, and one of the last rectors was sufficiently interested in Stanwell to leave money for the repair of the church. In 1380 there was also an assistant chaplain, and the obits required the presence of other priests. Masses were endowed by rector Richard Thorp 1408 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/agNNN1 and by Thomas Windsor whose son Andrew, Lord Windsor, continued his father's obit. - The monument of Thomas Windsor 1485 , which was also designed as a Easter Sepulchre, was removed from the chancel in the 19c and destroyed when the north aisle was rebuilt. - an old engraving remains to show it had indents of lost brasses of Thomas, his wife Elizabeth Andrew & children www.alamy.com/tomb-of-thomas-windsor-1486-with-brass-plat...

Windsor Cottage, formerly an inn was given in 17c by Lord Windsor for beautifying the church. By the 19c the income was being spent on church furnishings and since 1898 it has been applicable to general repairs and maintenance with £147 spent in 1955 .

Finland is known for its beautiful nature and enjoying the outdoors, especially during the long winter seasons. Campfire pits, or campfire areas, are an important part of the Finnish outdoor experience. In Finland, the right to enjoy nature is an important principle, known as jokamiehenoikeus. This means that people are free to access and enjoy nature, including building campfires, provided they act responsibly and respect the environment. Campfire pits are not only functional, but also a social space where people come together to relax, cook and share stories. It is a custom for Finns to spend time in nature, where campfires create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Simple but tasty dishes are often prepared at a campfire pit in Finland. Grilling sausages "Makkara" over a campfire is a favorite activity. Finnish sausages, such as "lenkkimakkara" (boiled sausage) or "poromakkara" (reindeer sausage), are often roasted over the fire and eaten with mustard and bread. A traditional Finnish dish is smoked salmon that is prepared on a plank over the fire. The salmon has a delicious smoky flavor and is often served with potatoes or bread. Coffee is an important part of the outdoor life in Finland. A traditional way to make coffee at a campfire is to use a coffee pot over the fire. These dishes are just an example of the many options for campfire pit meals in Finland. The most important thing is to enjoy simple, delicious dishes that match the relaxing atmosphere of the outdoors.
We walk in Lapland along the ridge of the fells of Ukko-Luosto, passing through the surrounding primeval forest. The summer path to the top is closed due to avalanche danger, so we continue our journey and attempt to reach the summit via the northern ridge of Ukko-Luosto. The path ascends steeply through the enchanting ancient forests, where the trees covered in crown snow look magical. The last section to the top of the mountain has snow too deep for us. The path winds its way to the top of Pikku-Luosto Fell. We sink in and have to crawl to the top. Snowshoes are definitely necessary here. In the impressive Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut, we can take a break, warm up, and admire the magnificent view. It's terribly cold up here on the 514-meter-high mountain, partly due to the biting polar wind. The sun reaches its highest point on this short January day and shines beautifully just over the mountain's peak. There's also a solar halo visible, an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and scattering of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere. We thaw out a bit and rest before starting our return journey. Walking in the snow is exhausting. From the scenic hut the trail descends with some steep downhills to the crossing near Tikkalaavu lean-to shelter from where we return to Luosto before dark. In total, we walked more than 18,000 steps, but we enjoyed this special place in Lapland. In Luosto, we treated ourselves to delicious reindeer jerky and panna cotta, while BieJee savored a reindeer burger.
Luosto biedt een prachtig landschap voor avontuurlijke activiteiten en de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van de Finse wildernis. Ons plan is om de spectaculaire fell (berg) te beklimmen. De bomen buigen zachtjes onder het gewicht van de sneeuw. We lopen op de rug van de fells van Ukko-Luosto langs het oerbos in de bijzondere omgeving, waar de bomen bedekt met kroonsneeuw er magisch uitzien. Het laatste gedeelte naar de top van de berg is de sneeuwlaag te diep voor ons. Het pad slingert zich een weg naar de top van Pikku-Luosto Fell. We zakken weg en moeten kruipen naar de top. Sneeuwschoenen zijn hier dus echt nodig. In de indrukwekkende Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut kunnen we even bijkomen, op temperatuur komen en het magnifieke uitzicht bewonderen. Het is verschrikkelijk koud hier op de 514 meter hoge berg, mede door de strakke poolwind. De zon bereikt zijn hoogste punt op deze korte januaridag en schijnt prachtig net over de top van de berg. We ontdooien nog even en rusten uit voordat we beginnen aan onze terugreis. Wandelen in de sneeuw is zwaar. Vanaf de Scenic Hut daalt het pad af met enkele steile afdalingen naar de kruising bij Tikkalaavu, een schuilplaats vanwaar we terugkeren naar Luosto. In Finland is het recht om van de natuur te genieten een belangrijk beginsel, bekend als jokamiehenoikeus. Dit betekent dat mensen vrij zijn om de natuur te betreden en te genieten, inclusief het maken van kampvuren, op voorwaarde dat ze verantwoordelijk handelen en de omgeving respecteren. Campfire pits zijn niet alleen functioneel, maar ook een sociale ruimte waar mensen samenkomen om te ontspannen, te koken en verhalen te delen. Het is een gewoonte voor Finnen om tijd door te brengen in de natuur, waar campfires een warme en gezellige sfeer creëren. Bij een campfire pit in Finland worden vaak eenvoudige maar smakelijke gerechten bereid. Het grillen van worstjes Makkara boven een kampvuur is een favoriete activiteit. Finse worstjes, zoals lenkkimakkara (gekookte worst) of poromakkara (rendierworst), worden vaak geroosterd boven het vuur en gegeten met mosterd en brood. Een traditioneel Fins gerecht is gerookte zalm die op een plankje wordt bereid boven het vuur. De zalm krijgt een heerlijke rokerige smaak en wordt vaak geserveerd met aardappelen of brood. Koffie is een belangrijk onderdeel van het buitenleven in Finland. Een traditionele manier om koffie te zetten bij een kampvuur is met behulp van een koffiepot boven het vuur. In totaal hebben we meer dan 18.000 stappen gezet, maar we hebben genoten van deze speciale plek in Lapland. In Luosto hebben we onszelf getrakteerd op heerlijke rendier-jerky en panna cotta, terwijl BieJee genoot van een rendierburger.
A boat leans to one side as the tide rushes out of Lyme Regis Harbour. Unusually low tide meant that I could tiptoe over the sand to this boat. This is nearly at the harbour's mouth, so it must have been a particularly low tide.
The lean-to shed came down from around the Banksy on the side of the Prince Albert today and all looks the same as it was before except.....
Update: This seems to have become quite a popular photo which is ironic since it was taken to illustrate a no longer genuine Banksy. Also there are much better pictures of this particular piece on flickr.
Incidentally, the footballer next to it probably isn't and never was by Banksy. I saw a card on sale at the library that claims it is.
Another update: a much better Banksy related photo that I took: www.flickr.com/photos/barnoid/4449367540/

This is what time does to once fine structures
Rocky Mountain Road, Gallatin County Montana
Well, I've been teasing you so I suppose it's now time to show you the finished project!
Early on in the pandemic people started leaving things on their front walls that they didn't need anymore. One day we saw two big pictures, so decided to bring them home. One of them I used to paint Harbie's portrait, but the other one we just hung in our bedroom for a while. Recently he fell down off the wall (held on by those sticky Command strips) and we never bothered putting it back up.
Earlier this year we had our leaky lean-to roof rebuilt so after many, many years of leaks we have a watertight lean-to (you can call it a conservatory but that makes it sound better than it really is!) - this is where I hang washing in winter and JJ keeps his bike. There is a downstairs loo too, which is used regularly.
Tim painted the lean-to and bought some nice near vinyl flooring and we agreed to put up the tiles we painted a few months ago. Tim left a gap for the large canvas, which I painted the English birds on! So here you are, our new art gallery!!
A lean-to is term used for two similar, yet different types of building.
It can be a free standing structure of three walls and a sloping roof. The open side is sheltered away from the prevailing winds and rains. Often a rough structure made of logs or unfinished wood and used as a camping shelter. It can also refer to a shed, abutting the wall of another structure, with three walls and a sloping roof.
