Jack's Rake is the most famous ascent of the Pavey Ark precipice. It is classified as a Grade 1 scramble, but it is within the capability of many walkers, though it does require a head for heights and is considerably harder in bad weather.
The rake starts beneath the East Buttress at the precipice's eastern end, near a large cairn (with a tablet marked 'JWS 1900') immediately north of Stickle Tarn, and then climbs west across the face of the crag. The rake follows a natural groove in the precipice face and is clearly indicated by several Ash trees.
Wainwright wrote that for fellwalkers Jack's Rake is "difficult and awkward", although there is "curiously little sense of exposure, for a comforting parapet of rock accompanies all the steeper parts of the ascent".
66741 is making slow but steady progress up the Long Drag, near Selside on 26 January 2018 powering 6E69, GBRf’s 1218 Arcow Quarry to Hunslet Tilcon loaded HYA wagons.
The horizon is dominated by the lengthy ridge from Plover Hill to the outcrop of Pen-Y-Ghent.
Brought into relief by the suns angle, the iconic rakes on the western face of Pen-y-Ghent stand out clearly, apparently shaped by a huge thunderstorm in 1881.
just before a California sunset. As winter settles in on the east it's nice to visit family on the other coast!
I call them rake figures because I'm pretty sure whatever those things are with a line along the top and lines coming down, it's not a rake. So, it keeps me from getting confused. Usually they are alone, or hanging from an arm, but in a few cases, as here, the figures have them for bodies. Sadly the right end of this panel appears to have fallen away. There are two more figures, I'll post the entire panel later.
So far on this trip we've (a) tended not to get to the hotel until pretty late and (b) had really poor internet, so even though this is the second full day, this is all I've managed to post so far. And since all I have to work is my laptop with it's aged dim screen, better versions are likely when I get home.

A YouTube video taken two years ago show significant numbers of fallen trees and large branches throughout the cemetery. Fortunately, these have been cleared.
Jewish Oak Woods, at the southwest corner of the cemetery, is separately managed and maintained by two local shuls. Fences separate the old Jewish section. Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel Congregation owns the Ohave Mariampole section. Congregation Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol Kesser Maariv Anshe Luknik owns the Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol section. These two sections are adjacently located. The third Jewish section, Congregation Rodfei Zedek, is located within Oak Woods Cemetery management, near the two older Jewish sections.
RAKE: Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Greg Kinnear (R) makes his broadcast television series debut in the bold new legal drama RAKE, created by Peter Duncan and executive-produced by Peter Tolan and Michael Wimer. Kinnear is KEEGAN DEANE, one of life’s great addicts, a brilliant and frustratingly charming criminal defense attorney, whose chaotic and self-destructive personal life often gets in the way of his professional one. Keegan takes on the cases that nobody else will touch, ruled by a resolute optimism, belief in justice and dogged determination to defend those who seem beyond redemption – much like himself. The bold new legal drama RAKE is slated for midseason on FOX. Also pictured L-R: Ian Colletti, Miranda Otto, Tara Summers, Necar Zadegan, John Ortiz and Bojana Novakovic. ©2013 Fox Broadcasting Co.

Adventures in Seeing - Pausing and Making Decisions (1)
While at the garden centre, I encountered a display of leaf rakes that I found oddly appealing. I paused, considered what had made me stop, and realized it was the bright colours and vertical lines that created a sense of energy and purpose that fit with my experience of raking the yard in spring and fall. I decided this spirit would not be captured in a static photo of the rakes, so I chose to express them in a more abstract way. I'm not sure if this fits with the contemplative approach of accepting things just as they are, but this approach helped to minimize a few distracting elements that would have been unavoidable in the composition... but also expresses the first impression that made me stop in the first place more so than a more conventional photo would. There are still hints of the tines to preserve what I perceived as the "gesture" of the upright rakes (to paraphrase Jay Maisel).
A prominent feature on the twisting, turning A5004 from Buxton to Whaley Bridge. The rake descends down to the Goyt Valley and reservoirs of Fernilee and Errwood.
The Rake, at 14 Winchester Walk in Borough Market, near London Bridge, Southwark, is a great pub for exploring craft beer - both British and American.
A long rake of EE units with EO45 sandwiched in the middle, seen on the arrival road at Hutt Workshops. This rake derailed 3 days prior when trying to enter the workshops, with the result that D2462 (closest to camera) ended up at the south end of the consist when originally at the north. For the record, from left to right the vehicles are DM527, D2553, EO45, D2489, DM510, D2735, DM470, D2462. History tells us DM510 and its trailer D2489 get returned to service, but the rest seemingly do not. Hutt Workshops, 18th July 2011
