A Lario townhome means endless possibilities. As part of Bellevue’s Spring District, manicured parks, world-class shopping and great restaurants are just a few steps from your front door. When it’s time to get away from the daily routine, you can be on the highway headed for Seattle nightlife, Woodinville Wine Country or the Tiger Mountain State Forest in minutes flat. Better yet, with a light rail station coming in 2023, you’ll have the run of the region without even taking your car out of the garage. read More: www.quadranthomes.com/washington/lario/
BR upper quadrant signal at Loughborough Central on the evening of 12th February 2015 during an EMRPS night shoot, organised in collaboration with Timeline Events.
Time Exposure and given a bit of the old Lightroom 5 treatment.
This is the first of a new series. Ron Bauer suggested I try game tiles and playing cards for subjects. Thank you, Ron for the ideas and challenge.
A pair of very tall brick Observation Towers dating from World War Two stand on Grimston Warren. Both of the quadrant towers are built from four brickwork columns, connected approximately half way up with steel tie rods, the columns are also connected at the top with a concrete ring beam.
Usually there is a concrete superstructure on top, used by the observers, in this case the tower probably held a wooden superstructure attached by bolts to the concrete ring beam sitting on top of the columns. Some of the wooden remains and fixings can be seen. Both of the towers show some concrete foundations at the base indicating where a staircase was mounted for access.
Nearby are some cropmarks of a large circle with a large central ''bullseye'' at reference TF 6780 2214, this is believed to represent the remains of a World War Two bomb target.
INFORMATION BOARD -
This tower and its twin, which can be seen in the distance to the north, were constructed by the army and date from the Second World War.
They were used for artillery training by the Royal Observation Corps. Guns fired shells at a target and observers measured the shell trajectories and determined the accuracy of each shot. The two view points were necessary to pi point the exact position each shell fell.
This tower was entirely hidden within a dense conifer plantation from the 1960’s. It was only the felling of trees in 2009 as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's heathland restoration project that has once again revealed the tower. For the first time in decades the original sight-line between the two observation towers has been opened up.
BEWARE ORDNANCE ‼️
There are also the remains of other military features dating from around the time Second World War, including slit trenches, and gun emplacements. Occasionally the remains of shells and other ordnance are found here. Should you find any metal objects which you think may be ordnance please do not handle them but safely mark the location and report your findings to Norfolk Wildlife Trust on 01603 625540.

Beach huts line the promenade between Walton and Frinton, a walk we do often when in Walton.

A lovely, long holiday courtesy of the Easter and Royal Wedding / Early May Bank Holiday weekends, plus 3 days off work. One of our best holidays at the Gyford caravan, Walton on the Naze.
Blue skies almost every day, and very breezy as we headed towards the Royal Wedding.
Lots of reading, a stroll along the beach to Frinton for a fry up and second hand books, a walk along the Backwaters and the Naze to visit the new coastal defence works and the excellent Naze Tower cafe, and a lot of time at the beach hut. All lovely.
