Another night another September Sunset so we are off to Hope Cove and this Outer Hope rather than Inner Hope, looking towards Burgh Island with the sun shining on the small sandy cliffs.

At least this far,
For all the fuss
Of the populace
Stays more popular

Eriskay, from the Old Norse for "Eric's Isle", is an island and community council area of the Outer Hebrides in northern Scotland with a population of 143, as of the 2011 census. It lies between South Uist and Barra and is connected to South Uist by a causeway which was opened in 2001. (Bing)
A big one to visit on our list and after some fun and games accessing in the dead of night, we were successful.
This asylum was built at the end of the 19th century. It was initially used as a hospital for mentally ill patients and later it was used as a military academy. This location held the equipment where people were treated with ECT and operations to the nervous system.
The asylum closed it's doors in the end of the 20th century when there were laws passed that deemed that asylums had to close their doors.

Bodie Island Light
Outer Banks
Dare County, North Carolina
Bodie (pronounced like "body") Island Lighthouse, a few miles north of Oregon Inlet, is in the middle position among the three major lighthouses on North Carolina's Outer Banks; Currituck Beach is the farthest north, and Cape Hatteras is the most southerly. The Outer Banks Photography Workshop (Randall Sanger Photography & John Deas Photography) visited all three, beginning with this one on the first evening. The few clouds hugged the horizon and did not provide a remarkable display of color, but the warm sunlight and soft orange of the clouds nonetheless were nice. (Given the wind we had, mosquitos were surprisingly abundant.)
The lighthouse tower is the third at this site. The first (1848) was built on a poor foundation because of U.S. Treasury skimping and soon needed replacement. The second (1859) tower was a casualty of the American Civil War, blown up by Confederate troops to keep it from aiding the Union Navy. The current brick tower (built 1870-72, soon after Cape Hatteras light) is topped by a cast iron lantern room with a 1st-order Fresnel lens. Sources differ on some points, such as year the light was automated (1931 vs. 1954), height of lighthouse (150, 156, 163, and 165 feet); per www.outer-banks.com/lights/nbodie.cfm, it is 150 feet to the top of the tower, 165 feet to the top of the lantern room, and 156 feet the from ground to the focal plane. Bodie Island light is an active aid to navigation. The property was transferred from the Coast Guard to the National Park Service in 2000; the double keepers' house, built in 1893, is now a visitor center. Bodie Island Light Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 (03000607).

Two 1958 Lincoln Continentals in a Montana Bone Yard. I love the wings on the outer edges of the bumpers. The Sky was amazing on this night for all of nearly 12 hours of shooting. This was a night I will remember for a long time.

The elegant, octagonal, wooden spire of St. James’ Parish Church, tucked away in the verdant valley of the River Tillingbourne, on the central location known as “The Square.”
The 15th. Century White Horse Inn, tea-rooms, ice-cream parlour, antiques and home ornaments shop, War Memorial and Lych-Gate circuit “The Square,” adjacent to this superb
11th. Century Parish Church.
It has so much architectural interest and on the outer north side of the Chancel there is the outline of a one-time cell.
This was for Christine Carpenter, the Anchoress of Shere.
She had chosen to be imprisoned in this cell in order to devote her life to prayer and to God.
However, it appears that she, and others, conspired to release her.
Perhaps the solitude became too much to bear.
A final twist saw her freed but soon after she returned.
Maybe guilt and disgrace drove her back.
The Church is the resting place for one of the
most prolific families to be Lords of the Manor, the Brays.
Paradoxically, the graveyard has a number of child graves
and one of a resident who lived to the age of 100, in Victorian times, a rare event then, when so many illnesses and
viruses killed people at a much younger age.
Altogether, a fascinating church that tells so many intriguing stories.

On this day at 8:00 pm, the beach would close due to the impending presence of endangered piping plover chicks. Our beach pass arrived in the mail that same morning. Of course we had to use it.
It was cold and very windy, but it was beautiful out there.

Mevagissey's outer harbour with the Black head peninsular stretching out into the sea in the background. It seperates Mevagissey bay from St Austell bay and is home of some of the most dramatic walks in Cornwall.
Outer wall of the The Grand House, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument
This is tied to my previous shot, just a closeup of the walls from the Grand House. Walls are pretty danged solid despite the cracks. It's the caliche I tell you, pretty danged tough stuff!
NASA image release August 10, 2010
A long-exposure Hubble Space Telescope image shows a majestic face-on spiral galaxy located deep within the Coma Cluster of galaxies, which lies 320 million light-years away in the northern constellation Coma Berenices.
The galaxy, known as NGC 4911, contains rich lanes of dust and gas near its center. These are silhouetted against glowing newborn star clusters and iridescent pink clouds of hydrogen, the existence of which indicates ongoing star formation. Hubble has also captured the outer spiral arms of NGC 4911, along with thousands of other galaxies of varying sizes. The high resolution of Hubble's cameras, paired with considerably long exposures, made it possible to observe these faint details.
NGC 4911 and other spirals near the center of the cluster are being transformed by the gravitational tug of their neighbors. In the case of NGC 4911, wispy arcs of the galaxy's outer spiral arms are being pulled and distorted by forces from a companion galaxy (NGC 4911A), to the upper right. The resultant stripped material will eventually be dispersed throughout the core of the Coma Cluster, where it will fuel the intergalactic populations of stars and star clusters.
The Coma Cluster is home to almost 1,000 galaxies, making it one of the densest collections of galaxies in the nearby universe. It continues to transform galaxies at the present epoch, due to the interactions of close-proximity galaxy systems within the dense cluster. Vigorous star formation is triggered in such collisions.
Galaxies in this cluster are so densely packed that they undergo frequent interactions and collisions. When galaxies of nearly equal masses merge, they form elliptical galaxies. Merging is more likely to occur in the center of the cluster where the density of galaxies is higher, giving rise to more elliptical galaxies.
This natural-color Hubble image, which combines data obtained in 2006, 2007, and 2009 from the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys, required 28 hours of exposure time.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. in Washington, D.C.
