Mount Grace Priory lies in the parish of East Harlsey, North Yorkshire. It is the best preserved of the nine medieval Carthusian houses in England. It was founded in 1398 by Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, the son of King Richard II's half-brother Thomas, Earl of Kent. It was the last monastery established in Yorkshire, and one of the few founded anywhere in Britain in the period between the Black Death (1349–50) and the Reformation. It was a fairly small establishment, with space for a prior and twenty-three monks.
Mount Grace Priory consisted of a church and two cloisters. The Great Cloister, to the north of the church, had seventeen cells for monks whilst the southern Lesser Cloister had six cells for the lay brothers. (Wikipedia)
Today you can visit a reconstructed monk's cell and enjoy the beautiful gardens as well as the tranquility of the ruins.
Edwardian Gardens with a story to tell.
Mount Ephraim Gardens is set in ten glorious acres of stunning Edwardian terraced gardens against a backdrop of the beautiful Kent countryside. These ten acres of gardens, set in the heart of an 800 acre estate have magnificent views over the Swale and Thames Estuaries.
The gardens feature a Japanese rock garden, water garden and lake, arboretum and a spectacular grass maze with a play area for children. They are also home to an extensive collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camelias and Magnolias.
The elaborate and unusual topiary with a miscellany` of birds, animals and First World War memorabilia in clipped yew truly captures the imagination. The Millennium Rose Garden abundant with scented roses and a traditional herbaceous border complete this stunning area.
Visitors can experience the sight of the Millennium Rose Garden in full bloom and the intoxicating colours and scents in mid summer. The unique 'Miz Maze' creation, planted with ornamental grasses and herbaceous perennials is something to look forward to as the days get shorter with its dancing grasses and dramatic swirls of wild flowers, which are alive with pollinating insects and wildlife best seen as the summer draws to a close.
Mount Ephraim has been home to the Dawes Family for over 300 years and is a lasting monument to a more graceful and leisurely age. Every time of year at Mount Ephraim Gardens brings it own distinctive pleasures.

History[edit]
The gardens are laid out around a Grade II listed house and 800 acres (3,200,000 m2) estate. It was originally built in 1695, then rebuilt in 1878 and then extended 1913 all for the Dawes family.[1]
The gardens were laid out in the early 1900s, but after wartime neglect (when most adult men were enlisted in wartime services) were substantially restored by Mary and Bill Dawes from the early 1950s. Mary Dawes was involved in the day-to-day running of the gardens until died in 2009, at the age of 93. Mount Ephraim has never been a 'professionally' maintained garden, but Mary had always lovingly tended it.
Description[edit]
Mount Ephraim Gardens have a large collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camellias and Magnolias. It has various areas, including the Millennium Rose Garden.
It also has a large Sweet Chestnut, planted to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. [2]
The 'Miz-maze' was planted in 2004 on the slopes of a former vineyard. Based on an ancient labyrinth called a Mizmaze (Mary Dawes, who lived at Mount Ephraim for sixty years, was always known to family and friends as 'Miz'). It was created by garden designer Sarah Morgan. Although based on a traditional labyrinth design, the layout incorporates some dead-ends, making it a hybrid between a maze and a labyrinth. The pattern of the grass paths is marked out with combinations of tall-growing ornamental grasses and colourful herbaceous perennial plants.[3]
The rock garden together with the water garden, is based on a series of pools ornamented with a Japanese stone bridge and stone lanterns.
The topiary of the garden has been cut into a various birds and animals, and also First World War memorabilia in clipped yew. The long herbaceous border, has a brick wall giving wind shelter and it provides colour throughout the flowering season.
The arboretum was planted to commemorate the late Mary Dawes' 80th birthday and also the 300 years of the family's ownership of Mount Ephraim. Sited on an artificially raised mound, the area gives far views of Blean woods, Hernhill church and the Miz Maze.
The gardens also include a Ha-ha, which was built in the 18th Century of red brick. It is about 3 feet high, and approximately 100 yards in length. It has a double curve. wikipedia...

Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan located on Honshu Island at 3,776.24 m. An active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometres south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped several months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku; it is a Special Place of Scenic Beauty, an Historic Site, and has been submitted for future inscription on the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site.

For some time now, I've been looking for something more secure than the standard cold shoe setup for my strobes and triggers. I never had confidence on the little cold shoe holders, especially when a using a flash mounted on a hot shoe mounted trigger. I saw a few solutions commercially but they seemed a little expensive for something so simple. I talked it over with my brother and we came up with this.
We started with a plastic kitchen cutting board. It's a very strong material and easy to work with. Once the plates were cut to the desired size, he cut spacers to give room for the thumb screws. Holes were drilled for the various mounts. The version seen here is mounted to a standard umbrella swivel with the cold shoe removed. The plate was secured to the swivel using the original cold shoe screws and holes. Loctite was added to make sure the screws stay in place. The Velcro strap was sandwiched between the top plate and spacer. A layer of dense neoprene foam cut from a gardening cushion was then adhered to the plate. The second version is mounted to a standard brass spigot so that it can be used on any standard swivel.
This feels so much more secure now! There's less stress on the hot shoe of flash and trigger. It just feels more solid. It also places the flash closer to the center of the umbrella for a more even spread of light.
Total spent was about $30 for 4 mounts (two on swivels and two on spigots). All parts were sourced locally except for the swivels which I already had. The ready made ones run about $40 each so it was worth the effort. They are definitely more solid on the light stand then before.

Just starting to go back into my photos from last years drive across the US, sadly I don't think I have too many keepers but the move what the priority.
Mount Saint Helens as viewed from the North side at Loowit Viewpoint. Despite the current forest fires in Washington, this is about the clearest I have ever seen the mountain. I was looking for a sunrise and subject matter to practice shooting RAW with. There was a pretty good light show for a few minutes there. :)
For those not familiar with it, the eruption was probably the worst natural disaster in the area in well over 50 years. Many people were killed and it brought absolute destruction to everything in it's path. It snapped off trees like toothpicks and relocated them many miles. Fallout from the blast was discovered many states away. Cities around the area had many feet of volcanic ash dumped on them which turned daylight into night. Those with conditions such as asthma couldn't leave their houses for many weeks. The mud flows relocated roads and bridges and completely rearranged the landscape by filling in lakes and rerouting rivers. People were warned to evacuate the area and some chose not to listen. However, at that time (May 1980) nobody including the USGS knew that volcanoes erupted from the side they thought they went straight up, so the evacuation zone was inaccurate and many that thought they were safe were also killed. The cleanup took many many years. Mount Saint Helens has been growing a dome in the center of the crater and from time to time the mountain wakes up and lets off steam and ash. It let out a pretty good sized plume a few years back. After all this time, I still get nervous going up here.
Want to see something neat? Look up "Dave Crockett mt st helens" on Youtube. Its a tv reporter that was in the area at the time of the explosion.
Mount Bryan and Who Was Bryan?
The naming of this district is a tale of tragedy and few people these days would have ever heard of Henry Bryan. He was a young lad of 18 years who worked as a servant at Government House in Adelaide. In November 1839 recently arrived Governor Gawler ( he arrived October 1838) with his wife and daughter set out to explore the country between Adelaide and Big Bend which we now know as Morgan on the Murray. Their party consisted of about 20 people. The Governor’s party travelled along the Murray River banks from Wellington to Big Bend and they intended to return to Adelaide via Burra Creek and the central pastoral country which was then uninhabited beyond Gawler. When the party was camped at Big Bend the Governor, Captain Charles Sturt, Henry Bryan and Mr Inman set off for a few days to explore the high mountains visible from Big Bend. They discovered Razorback and Mt Bryan and the high country around it. The party departed the Big Bend camp on the 10th of December and returned to the women folk on the 15th of December. The governor was anxious to return to camp quickly as he appeared to be suffering from heat exhaustion and on the last day Henry Bryan offered his horse as it was fresher than the Governor’s horse. Bryan was in the rear of the exploring party and never caught up with them again and never reached the camp. Three guides went out to search for Henry Bryan but no trace was found except his coat, telescope, saddle and blanket. He had set out walking because of exhaustion and the terrible heat. His horse was found several years later by early settlers. It was presumed that Henry Bryan was either killed by Aboriginal people or perished from the summer heat and lack of water. The governor and his party returned to Adelaide on the 20th December and the district was named in honour of the lost Henry Bryan because the Governor and his family were so upset about the loss of young Henry Bryan. The Adelaide newspapers criticised the governor for heading an exploration party which included women and seemed to be more of a pleasure journey, at public expense than an exploration trip. More searches were made for Henry Bryan but to no avail.
The dominant geographical feature of this area is Mt Bryan at 936 metres (or 3,070 feet). Nearby is Mount Razorback which is 863 metres (or 2,831 feet.) Mt Lofty is a mere 727 metres! The pastoralists moved into this high country from 1842 when Alfred Hallett took out a lease over the Mount Bryan Range. Across the ranges to the west Drs William and John Browne took out Booborowie run about the same time. These early leases were annual only and Joseph Gilbert of Pewsey Vale in the Barossa (and Gilberton in Adelaide) took out a 14 year lease over the Mt Bryan Range in 1851 totalling 156 square miles (100,000 acres). Following the development of the great copper mine at nearby Burra more pastoralists moved in on small leaseholds during the 1850s. John Tyler took out a small run on the flat which was later to become the township of Mount Bryan.
The Hundred of Kingston (named after Surveyor George Strickland Kingston) was declared in 1860 and farmers rather than pastoralists moved into the district. Several had been employed in Burra and then moved onto the land to make their fortunes or otherwise. One was Henry Collins who established his Lucernedale property which later became Collinsville merino sheep stud. He was the first to buy freehold land in the Hundred of Kingston starting with just 176 acres. His son established the sheep stud in 1884 but this was further east in drier country. (John Collins soon had 14,000 acres which became his Collinsville Stud.) Henry Collins near Mt Bryan planted lucerne on the flat land of his property hence his property name. Lucernedale occupied the land immediately to the south of present day Mount Bryan until it abutted Gebhardt’s Mackerode station .It also covered land to the south east of Mt Bryan. The lucerne that Collins grew was used to feed the sheep grazed on the eastern dryer parts of his estate. Another freehold settler from Burra was Gustav Gebhardt a butcher from Burra. He soon purchased 2,000 acres and continually added to it to create his Mackerode property. With his leased land he was the only German background immigrant to join the top ranks of pastoralists in SA. He later owned Pareora near Port Wakefield and other properties. The property was only sold out of the Gebhardt family in the 1990s. Charles Ullman another German descent butcher from Burra also purchased land here but he never became one of the wealthy men of the district but more about him later.
Mount Bryan emerged as a town over thirty years as unusually the Hundred of Kingston had no government town surveyed in it because of its proximity to Burra. The Mt Bryan Hotel opened in 1864 to service travellers and teamsters going further north. There was no rush to build churches in the Mt Bryan area because several pastoralists had small chapels on their own land- the Gebhardts had a Primitive Methodist chapel, Henry Collins had a Wesleyan Methodist chapel and Edward Godden had a Bible Christian Methodist chapel. But in 1874 the District Council of Mt Bryan was formed and the government was talking of extending the railway line from Burra north to Hallett. So in 1878 a rail siding was set to be established at Mt Bryan with the first train reaching the town in 1880. The station closed in 1972 some ninety years later. Charles Ullman subdivided part of his land in 1878 to create the private township of Mt Bryan immediately east of the rail siding with one street being Ullman Street. In 1881 another farmer Henry Skews subdivided part of his land to create town blocks west of the railway line near the hotel. Finally in 1907 the government created a government town which surrounded Ullman’s early Mt Bryan. There were plans for the Post Office and Police Station to be built in the new government town but nothing happened. But four identical stone railway workers cottages were erected in the government town. A state school opened in Mount Bryan in 1885 with an attached headmaster’s residence but it closed around 1990. The institute was officially opened in 1910 and is still in use. The Wesleyan Methodist church on Mr Collin’s property became the first Council Chambers and temporary school from 1878 to 1885 when the state school in the town opened. A general store and unofficial Post Office opened in 1879 in the emerging town. The Council later got its own Council Chamber with the new hall and institute and this was rented to the Anglicans and the Lutherans for church. In 1914 the foundation stone for the Anglican Church was laid and the church opened in 1915. The land for the church was donated by Mr Gebhardt. The lych-gate was added in 1964. It is now closed as a church. In 1913 land was donated for a new Methodist church and a wood and iron building called the ‘Cook House” was opened. It served the Methodists until a Romanesque style red brick church was opened next door in 1938. The Catholics held services in the Mt Bryan Hall for some years before they built St Brendan’s Catholic Church in 1925. Today only the hotel and hall survives as the school, churches and store and railway have all been closed.

Mount Kinabalu (Malay: Gunung Kinabalu) is a prominent mountain on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is located in the East Malaysian state of Sabah and is protected as Kinabalu Park, a World Heritage Site. Kinabalu is the highest peak in Borneo's Crocker Range and is the highest mountain in the Malay Archipelago. Mount Kinabalu is also the 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence.
In 1997, a re-survey using satellite technology established its summit (known as Low's Peak) height at 4,095 metres (13,435 ft) above sea level, which is some 6 metres (20 ft) less than the previously thought and hitherto published figure of 4,101 metres (13,455 ft).
Mount Kinabalu includes the Kinabalu montane alpine meadows ecoregion in the montane grasslands and shrublands biome. The mountain and its surroundings are among the most important biological sites in the world, with between 5000 and 6000 species of plants, 326 species of birds, and more than 100 mammalian species identified. Among this rich collection of wildlife are famous species such as the gigantic Rafflesia plants and the orangutan. Mount Kinabalu has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage status.
Low's Peak can be climbed quite easily by a person in good physical condition and there is no need for mountaineering equipment at any point on the main route. Other peaks along the massif, however, require rock climbing skills.
