Lower emissions but perhaps higher emissions from the photographer as this is a real treat to track down given its elusiveness.

Beale Wildlife Park and Gardens
Located by the River Thames, between the villages of Lower Basildon and Pangbourne.
The park was founded in 1956 by Gilbert Beale as his own private park. He was a keen collector and breeder of peacocks and these birds still roam free in the 350-acre park.
The wildlife park has meerkats, prairie dogs, monkeys, mongoose, capybaras, wallabies, alpacas, maras, lemurs, raccoons, owls, macaws, rheas, coati, goats, a deer park, and a pets corner.
The impressive gardens include a pavilion, trails, the Jubilee water gardens and several sculptures
There is a children's play area for families.

Jubilee Water Gardens
The Water Gardens offer a peaceful walk with a hint of the Orient, with bridges to walk over and benches to sit and enjoy the views.
Lower Slaughter is a village in the Cotswolds Gloucestershire, some four miles south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold.. At the west end of the village there is an old water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power.
Lower Falls, the biggest waterfall in Yellowstone, is the most famous in the Park, hands down. In fact, the 308-foot tall waterfall it is most likely the second most photographed spot in Yellowstone, with Old Faithful Geyser being the first.

Happy New Year y'all
Continuing my journey up Lower Marsth Street comparing and contrasting shots taken in 2014 and 2024.
The Christian Aid HQ is still there, unchanged. Incongruously opposite the exotic lingerie shop in the previous pics
Lower Marsh Street is a pedestrianised alley that leads up to Waterloo Station. The 148 bus from my work to Waterloo stops at the head of the street so I often walk down it in the evening
I took a film camera to it in 2014 and I thought it would a nice project to run down it again to chronicle what has changed/been conserved
It was a run down station approach road in 2014 and it is in the process of being gentrified. Some of the "niche" and scruffy shops and cafes remain. Others are succumbing to the developer so there are interesting changes/contrasts

The lower cascade at Blaen Bran in full spate following Storm Dennis. In the Summer, it can be barely damp moss.
One of the things I missed most when I moved from Western Canada to East Coast Australia was the green: that lush green that comes with tall conifers that have grown up through decades (and even centuries) of rainfall; the varied greens of an understory of lichens, mosses and ferns.
The Lower Falls Trail in Golden Ears Provincial Park is through a conifer wood, draped in Spanish moss and dappled light to Gold Creek Falls.

Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion that survives to this day.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death it was inherited by his sister Ellen who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew Major James Archibald Morrison.
During the Second World War, the estate was requisitioned. It served several purposes including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training, and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952 Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about restoring the house sensitively to its former glory, with the addition of modern-day comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house, together with 400 acres of parkland, to the National Trust in 1978.

This was such a great hike. So many cool places to photograph from! Many more photographs to be had here.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - I made a detour to check out the view from Lower Twin Lake before hiking to Blue Lake. The shallow and sandy lake would be great for swimming on a hot day.

The color of this lake is not modified. This is one of three lakes in the area below Mount Sneffels in Colorado, and this has to be one of my favorite spots to camp... or even on earth. The woods, the lake, and the whole area are ridiculously beautiful. This shot was taken in the early morning when the sun was coming over the mountains and I knew it would create a cool effect while only part of the lake was illuminated. We came in Friday evening and spent Saturday and Sunday here before going back to our favorite brunch place in Ridgway to replace some of the calories burned while backpacking.
We stayed in Page after photographing Lake Powell and Navajo Mountain from Alstrom Point. We decided to visit Lower Antelope Canyon which is located just east of Page on Highway 98.
Don't worry you can't miss the turn - It's just in front of the massive Navajo Power Station where coal that is mined from on top of Black Mesa is burned. There are three enormous exhaust stacks that can be seen from as far away as Bryce Canyon.
Antelope Creek crosses the highway just before you reach the power plant and as you cross over it, you get no hint that this is the force that carved two world famous, beautiful slot canyons that are Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon. At the highway, Antelope Creek is just a shallow, sandy wash that looks remarkably like thousands of other dry washes on the plateau.
Just north and south of the highway, however, this creek has cut two fantastic slot canyons into - what else? - the Navajo sandstone.
To the south is Upper Antelope Canyon, by far the more famous of the two canyons. Because it is upstream and further from the local base level of the Colorado River, it is not incised as deeply and has broader "rooms" within the slot. It also has the famous sun spots that play across the sides and sandy floors. Unfortunately, it also has large crowds that are herded in and out of the canyon. A quick look at Google Earth shows how short it actually is. Just a short block of Navajo Sandstone that had the audacity to stand in the way of the water that was hurrying down to the Colorado.
To the north is Lower Antelope Canyon. Because it is closer to the river, it is more deeply incised with wonderful, narrow twists and turns which is why many also call it Corkscrew Canyon.
This shows the twists and turns of Corkscrew Canyon. Be sure to look at the picture in full size to appreciate the fantastic sculpture of this canyon

Lower Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona, USA. This is a slot canyon formed in sandstone by thousands of years of rushing water. The colors are determined by the intensity of light reaching the walls -- the shadows are purples and blues, while the reds and oranges are more intense light.
