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.
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

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.

When it's blowing a gale and still snowing, shovelling just seems utterly pointless. Main St., Winnipeg, Canada.
A rather pointless exercise on a restless Friday night. If I sustain one more packing injury, I'll start identifying as a vegetable.
The original plan might have been to showcase a pose by SAPA. But let's put it this way - it's almost 2AM, there was wine, and my brain cell count wasn't that great to begin with - all I have now is a few solitary neurons floating in grape juice. So here we are, and...yeah. No.
Maybe I should already declare myself to be a vegetable.
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.
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.
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!

Not going to win any photo-realism awards this week. I'm squeezing the ISO till it hurts and going grain-tastic.
Happy gorgeous green color me badd Thursday... ;)
(Hmm, thinks, there so should be a color me badd group, if there isn't one.)

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.
... should I believe in miracle and stay firm to my wish, or should I just let it be?
Without a miracle, can I even turn this mess around in 30 seconds?! Arrghh!

Running many hours late, Amtrak's eastbound California Zephyr sails downgrade between Low and Marblehead, Utah on the old WP mainline. Amtrak's 50th anniversary edition of the 'pointless arrow' leads the charge through a snowy scene.

Sign close to the old Eastham Ferry Landing. There might be a long wait.
Since the Middle Ages, a ferry service operated across the River Mersey between Eastham and Liverpool, the early ferries being run by monks from the Abbey of St. Werburgh. By the late 1700s, up to 40 coaches each day arrived at a newly built pier, carrying passengers and goods for the ferry. Paddle steamers were introduced in 1816 to replace the sailing boats, but the demand for a service declined in the 1840s with the opening of a railway link between Chester and Birkenhead Woodside Ferry.
