Ryrie’s is a little changed Edwardian public house which occupies a very prominent position at the junction of Haymarket, Dalry Road and Morrison Street in Edinburgh. It has Baronial details and a Scottish Renaissance style teak wooden pub frontage. The interior has attractive leaded and stained glass with lettering and a finely detailed carved gantry behind the bar.
Kirkwood's map of 1817 shows the earlier building on this site as the Haymarket Weigh House. In 1830 David Lawrie occupied this building as an Innkeeper. A few years later Henry Cochrane is listed as a Spirit Dealer at the same address. In 1842 the Edinburgh Glasgow Railway is completed and terminated behind the building. It is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as 'The Railway Inn' and occupied the whole of the current site.
The Haymarket Inn was built slightly West of the corner in 1862. The building now occupied by Ryrie’s would appear to have been rebuilt and baronialised in 1868 (the cast-iron hoppers bear this date) and some alterations were made to The Haymarket Inn at this date as well. By 1906 the two parts were linked as private and public bars of one property under the name The Haymarket Inn and the ground floor and interior rebuilt. The client for the 1906 work was Messrs Ryrie & Company, whisky merchants.
The architect for the 1906 refit, Robert McFarlane Cameron, was responsible for a number of fine pub interiors in Edinburgh, including The Guildford Arms, also part of the D M Stewart Ltd group. His practice was medium sized and very varied and ranged from churches and schools at one end to public houses and premises for the licensed trade at the other. He served as a bailie and magistrate of the city and was considered to be 'a firm friend of the Trade' and as such secured a number of commissions for re-fitting pubs. These became examples of what is now known as People’s Palaces.
George Morrison, a director of the nearby New Edinburgh Brewery at Slateford, owned by Thomas & James Bernard Ltd, became tenant in 1906. His widow acquired the heritable interest in the property and then her executry sold the public house to the Brewery. In turn, Scottish Brewers Ltd acquired Thomas & James Bernard Ltd in 1960. In the 1980s the large Ryrie’s and W M Younger’s Ales signs were placed on the gable ends of the property.
Further minor interior alterations in 1992 improved access around the bar, but left the majority of the original bar unchanged. Ownership of the property passed between large national Pubcos before being purchased by the Edinburgh family run pub company D M Stewart Ltd, which owns and operates some of the cities finest Victorian and Edwardian pubs.
Now for the real deal. A Metra inbound rolls under the PRR Position Lights at CP Morgan Street, preparing to enter the canyon of skyscrapers that make up Chicago's massive skyline. This was probably one of the most successful shots that resulted from today's expedition into the city.
Busseau sur Creuse, 23 France. Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking north towards the road bridge, which carries the D50 road across the river. I'm not sure how old this is, but I suspect it was built near the end of the 18thC. This was the first time I've used Foma 200 since it's recall, and sad to say, it still seems very vulnerable to scratches, but this might be due in part to the fairly primitive finish of the Hongmei! Taken for International Commie Camera Days 2013, with a 1970's Chinese made folding camera.

Two ancient buildings are located in a position that in ancient times supplied for certainly strategic advantage. From this point you can clearly see Levanzo, Favignana and the Trapani coast. The two buildings have different natures: The Roman house had a military character while the Byzantine church has religious peculiarities. The first building was for defensive purposes. It had a complex system of facilities useful for conveying water collection.
The Byzantine church dates back to the early centuries of Christianity. Almost adjacent to the Roman building, it is rectangular in shape about 10 meters long, with a main and a side entrance, with barrel vaults and four central pillars. The church has a single nave divided into three spans of which the central one is the highest and ends with a hemispherical vault. The style is very reminiscent of the eastern one, which leads to the hypothesis that the church was erected around the 11th century by monks of the Byzantine rite, on a previous basis of Christian worship.
One of the most iconic shapes in aviation, seen being towed into position at Mildenhall for the 1982 Air Fete. After this it was time for a Mountain Dew and Burger with BBQ sauce !!!
This aircraft was lost on 21 April 1989 over the South China Sea and is the last loss of any Blackbird. Pilot Maj. Daniel E. House said the left engine blew up and shrapnel from it hit the right-side hydraulic lines, causing a loss of flight controls. House and RSO Capt. Blair L. Bozek ejected and came down safely in the ocean. They had been able to broadcast their position before abandoning the Blackbird, and rescue forces were immediately on the way. However, the crew was rescued by native fisherman.

Many thanks to all my friends:)
Sometimes, you just can't get in the right position to get a photo of a Snowy Owl - this one only glanced in our direction a couple of times, but I thought the sun shining on it made it worth posting. This photo was taken NE of the city, on 20 December 2014.
The winter of 2014/2015 has been really good for Snowy Owls, though various people have been reporting that recently, there seem to be far fewer to be seen. Back in December, I had been longing to get out there, especially to the E and NE of the city, to look for these spectacular birds of prey. I finally got out, after my youngest daughter asked if I wanted to go looking for Snowies on our Christmas get-together on 20 December 2014. She had never seen a Snowy Owl, so I was really, really hoping that we'd find one! As it turned out, we saw 10 definite individuals, plus two others that we weren't quite sure about - one certainly looked like a very distant Snowy and the other was possibly a repeat of an owl we had seen earlier in more or less the same area.
Part way through the day, almost as if it were meant to happen, a car came from the opposite direction - it was my friends, Cathy and Terry! For the rest of our trip, we followed behind them, thoroughly enjoying every new find. Late afternoon, we went home different ways and my daughter and I saw our last two owls. My daughter was so thrilled to see these breathtaking birds and was already quite happy and content after seeing the very first, distant one. Three of the owls gave us close or reasonably close views, the rest were very distant. The owl in this photo is a male, as it is almost pure white.

After these wonderful sightings, we returned to Calgary and went back to my daughter's place to exchange Christmas gifts. I reckon the Snowy Owls were the "best" gifts she received that day : )

Although I don't believe "pole position" has anything to do with horse racing, they were the first words that came to my mind while thinking of a title, obviously due to the intrusive poles in the frame.

A shot I took on a storm chase last summer and finally got around to processing it...
This is Lake George, an ancient lake, believed to be more than a million years old.
Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake. Lake George has in previous Ice Ages been much larger and deeper.
Currently, the lake is dry and has been for many years... I cant imagine what it would look like full of water and life...

Mam Tor rears up above the western end of Hope Valley, overlooking Hope, Castleton and Edale.
It is believed to be one of the earliest hill forts in Britain, and the second highest at 1,700 feet above sea level.
Its name supposedly means ‘mother hill’, named so because it is shaped like a breast or because it keeps spawning mini-hills beneath it as bits drop off.
It is also known locally as the 'shivering mountain'. The hill side is said to ‘shiver’ as its rock crumbles away. This crumbling is particularly prominent on the east side of the mountain where the area below the face is continually in motion and each period of heavy rain undermines the loose shale and causes it to slip further down the valley.
The former A625 main road from Stockport to Sheffield once passed the base of the mountain but it was swept away by a landslide in 1974 and was eventually closed for good in 1979.

Positioned underneath the A56 in Frodsham makes for a decent vantage point to capture trains crossing the elegant bridge over the River Weaver a few hundred yards downstream.
