This sunken pathway in Dorset, England, is called "Hell Lane"
The earth is red as is the strata which is a soft red sandstone.
Hence the name "Hell" It started life as a normal path at ground level but over time, with people using it constantly on foot and with horse and carts and driving their livestock to and fro, it has gradually worn down and is now 20 to 30 feet deep. Its possible that it has been used since the stone age.
Its a very spooky atmospheric place and even scarier because of the carvings of grotesque human faces that travellers have cut into the soft sandstone over centuries, as they seem to peer at you watching your every move when you pass by.
It was late evening when I got there and the light was bad for photography but I managed a few shots. Its a fascinating and well worth a visit but dont go alone or it could be your face thats carved into the rock or worse!
Heres a few interesting links;

P@t.
Just something else that I noticed in there, was the existence of a small grotto dug into the bank with some wild flowers in a jar and a statue of Mary.
Im not religious but I thought it was lovely. Maybe someone goes there to pray and meditate and Im sure there is a spiritual link to the past through the forgotten people who have walked along it and unbeknown to themselves, helped to create such an amazing, truly magical and unique place!

I have disabled commenting on my last photo due to the level of abuse that has happened to me here recently. It appears to be a current trend on Flickr and has happened to quite a few of my friends who have also disabled comments.
Its also happened to me in messages. I cant disable that!
Its pointless reporting it as Flickr are not interested in doing anything about it.It appears that the more active you are and the more stuff you write with your images, the more you are targeted.
Its really not worth being here anymore.
My instinct is to think its pointless to talk about how much I love one of my images- of course, why else would I share them. Nonetheless, this is one of those images that speaks to me more vividly than others. The way installed, man-made lighting makes the curves, bends and reach of these branches come to life.. and you only need to take a walk at night by this beach to enjoy it. What a beautiful existence we enjoy.
Ecclesiastes 1:2 “Utterly pointless,” says the Teacher. “Absolutely pointless; everything is pointless.”
My daughter joined a pottery class last year for the very first time. After weeks of classes she finally came home with lots of little pots, then more little pots each week. She finally gave up after failed attempts at making, or should I say throwing, other objects. After a few months she began to throw away lots of her imperfect little pots. I of course found some to be quite interesting in their own way so she gave them to me, this is the smallest of them measuring just under 2.5 inches wide and 1.5 inches high. Her partner would say each week "oh no, not more pointless pots" but luckily she saw the funny side:-) HMM
For MacroMondays Wabi-Sabi.
When it's blowing a gale and still snowing, shovelling just seems utterly pointless. Main St., Winnipeg, Canada.
It may seem pointless to go all the way to the Highlands and then photograph small details you might find anywhere. But I've always enjoyed geometry and abstraction. Many of my photographs include these elements. But sometimes they are the photograph, as here. And although this kind of image appears simple, I find they require painstaking attention to detail. With so little in the frame, everything must be arranged so that nothing superfluous intrudes or distracts. Above all, and despite the high degree of abstraction, there must be a sense of completeness within the frame. Otherwise, the composition feels random and will not satisfy.

Unless you have a pencil sharpener.
During World War II rotary pencil sharpeners were outlawed in Britain because they wasted so much scarce lead and wood, and pencils had to be sharpened in the more conservative manner – with knives.

Amtrak 8/28 flies east kicking up snow as it attempts to make up time to Chicago. Though at almost 7.5 hours late...
Winter hasn't been kind to Amtrak. And at -8 at the time of this photo, it was rough on photographers too.
On the point of Empire Builder 8 this day is Amtrak 161, one of Amtrak's 50th Anniversary heritage units. The first of such I've shot. (Shot all of the 40th ones)
I have seen the 161 once before in this paint, on a much warmer day at Union Depot's "Train Days".
Still hoping to see the other 50th Anniversary units, perhaps in 2022.

Running about an hour and a half late, Amtrak No. 5, the California Zephyr, curves toward Tunnel 1 east of Plainview on a warm spring morning in Colorado on March 30, 2014. The train is led by “Phase I Heritage” GE P42DC No. 156, dressed in Amtrak’s first paint scheme complete with “Pointless Arrow” logo.

Another sky picture...Many would say it's pointless but clouds are like poems and i can't help loving them.
Resubmitting a photo I made several months ago, which had to be removed from MM due to theme limits.
Original description: Well, it would have helped if I had read all of the instructions for this Macro Monday before putting together my concept and shooting it. Funny just how very appropriate my theme of "Pointless" is, given that, now when I looked at the guidelines to determine the exact tag to use, I find that pencils are banned... Too late to shoot anything new now. Truly pointless... How ironic!
There is no subject. I don't know what moved me to take this picture, but seeing it, I kind of like it. The colors and lines, the back half of the limousine, the big patch of asphalt.
adjective:
without a point; blunt, as an instrument; without force, meaning,
or relevance

While there is no legal requirement to wear a face mask outdoors in the UK, although I think there certainly should be in built-up areas at least, wearing one on the chin is absolutely pointless. To be properly safe you have to treat the mask as a contaminated item, the more you touch it without washing your hands, the more risk you expose yourself too and in this instance, you would be inhaling over the top of a contaminated surface.
Stay safe my Flickr friends - we will get though this!

The relief texture on this wall, in the raking late afternoon light, took on some interesting patterns so why not photograph it? I noticed later that there is even an RGB element although technically the glass block is cyan, not green.
Pointless --- Caerfyrddin/ Carmarthen ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ '"No genocide" Burnham' - "The United Kingdom's new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has assembled a cabinet in which approximately 40%, including himself, are directly linked to the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) lobby, which works for Israel. LFI's former director, David Mencer, is now the Israeli government spokesperson. Those with indirectly apparent pro-Israel ties comprise almost all of them.
The cabinet also includes individuals involved in the most blatant and indefensible crimes, such as voting for the invasion of Iraq. Burnham himself not only voted for the Iraq invasion in 2003, but even in 2015 he argued that those who made that decision deserved respect.
Ministers with plenty of sins
Many individuals who held ministerial or senior positions during the former Prime Minister Keir Starmer's era are also serving in the Burnham government.
John Healey, whom Burnham made Chancellor of the Exchequer, was Secretary of State for Defense under Starmer. Under Healey, Royal Air Force aircraft flew surveillance missions over Gaza. The type of intelligence shared while Israel continued its genocide remains a matter of debate. Healey also voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Another person who voted for the Iraq invasion and served in both the Starmer and Burnham governments is Yvette Cooper, the current Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. She is both a member of LFI and someone funded by the Israel lobby. One of Cooper's most controversial actions while she was Home Secretary was spearheading the designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. While she couldn't offer even empty words against Israel's genocide, this decision, which led to the arrest of hundreds of people protesting to stop the oppression, remains one of the biggest stains on Cooper and those who supported the decision.
As a side note, the organization that began a campaign to ban Palestine Action was We Believe in Israel, which Labour lawmaker Luke Akehurst used to be director of, and the current director is Ido Dimri, who served as Chief of Staff to Israeli minister Amichai Chikli.
Let us continue with Douglas Alexander, who has served as Secretary of State for Scotland across both administrations. He was also one of the supporters of the Iraq invasion. Shortly after being appointed Shadow Foreign Secretary in 2011, Alexander visited Israel with the LFI, aiming to strengthen bilateral relations between the country and the Labour Party. Speaking at an LFI event in 2013, he asserted that Israel’s existence should be celebrated as a progressive cause, denounced the boycott movement, and advocated for stronger ties. In 2025, as Trade Minister, he accused Hamas of "barbarism” and defended the continuation of trade with Israel.
Diana Johnson, who was vice-chair of LFI in 2020, was appointed Minister of State by Starmer, and Burnham kept her in the position. She is known for opposing anti-Zionism and boycotting Israel in an article published in an Israeli newspaper.
Another vice-chair of LFI, Jo White, has become Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Home Office.
Secretary of State for Education Lucy Powell is another member of LFI. Recently, she rightly criticized the X platform. However, her call for restrictions on social media for political expediency has led to criticism that she is targeting free speech.
Speaking of social media regulation, Lisa Nandy deserves special mention. Nandy, who served as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport during the Starmer administration, continues in her role under Burnham. The regulation in question is directly her responsibility. However, Nandy chose to simply complain and then leave the X platform that she is supposed to regulate.
Defense Minister Wes Streeting is also known for receiving donations from LFI and for acting in ways that please Israel in parliamentary votes or signature campaigns. Starmer had also appointed him as a minister. Upon taking office, like Burnham, he made a few statements that displeased the Zionists. It must be known that one of the most important issues for Israel is being able to continue its genocide and wars. As long as they do not hinder their fundamental goals, the Zionists will tolerate some words and minor actions taken by politicians to appease their people and keep their reactions under control.
Johnson, White, Powell, Nandy, and Streeting all favored designating Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, but opposed imposing sanctions on Israel.
Zionist Jews in government
The cabinet also includes Jewish Ed Miliband. Having held various ministerial or shadow ministerial roles since the Tony Blair era, Miliband was also the leader of the Labour Party from 2010 to 2015. He served as Energy Minister under Starmer and is now Foreign Secretary.
At an LFI event in 2011, he stated: "I’m grateful to Israel, I respect Israel, I admire Israel... I will ensure that the Labour party remains a strong and steadfast friend of Israel.”
After everything came to light, Miliband had made somewhat critical statements about the Iraq invasion while vying to become Labour leader, although he didn't show any opposition to it when it was about to start. However, his first foreign visit after becoming leader was to Afghanistan in 2011, where he addressed troops and supported all combat operations there until the end of 2015. That same year, Miliband also fully supported NATO's bombing of Libya.
Besides Miliband, some other Jewish ministers from the Starmer administration continue in their roles in the Burnham government. One of them, Minister of Courts and Legal Services Sarah Sackman, was raised within a Zionist youth movement. While she did not support sanctions against Israel, she voted to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. Her grandfather, Solomon Seruya, was close to Shimon Peres and served as Israel's ambassador to the Philippines. Another is Minister for School Standards Georgia Gould, an ally of the Jewish Labour Movement, which identifies itself as Zionist. ...( )...
