Dawn breaks over Chiselbury Camp.
Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.
Yesterday was the 70th Annual Iowa State Fair Photography Salon.

delighted. The photo above is the Honorable Mention, entered in,
Adult Division: Black & White, Class 23: Places. Titled: Neglected Beauty
I want to thank the volunteers, judges and prize sponsors for
all their hard work through the very hot days of giving us a wonderful
show this year.
Thank you!!! You are very much appreciated in your efforts!!!!

this was taken during our trip to a city in Normandy. When walking around the outdoor market, we were immediately captivated by the size of the frying pans and intrigued by how French people manage to stay so thin.
"we-where barb-b- q/ing one night and we-where having ribs. one of the children asked what we where cooking, as the chef hoisted a large rack of ribs off the open flame. Slightly buzzed and straight off the cuff he said, "we cooking granny". so thats how the name "granny old bones came about...To me thats morbid but funny

I like abandoned school because the pastel painted walls, the cool drininking fountains, the bathrooms where places were delightfully deranged, the smily face gold stars everywhere, and the gum under the formica coated desk tops. But when schools are abandoned you can hear the laughter in the halls but its only a ghost. You can smell the pecil dust falling from the sharpener but its only decay. School is out for the summer but come fall no one returns. Bells no longer ring and children no longer sing, but the voices are forver cemented in every footstep and finger print
