Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to view, comment or fave.

Thanks to Flickr I was made aware of this place this year.

Since then I've seen it in books too - so I'm sorry to say it's a bit of an iconic or cliched shot which I always prefer to avoid but they keep calling to me unfortunately :(

Even though I spent many holidays in Plymouth for the first 16 years of my life & most of my summers in Devon for the last 15 years, this week was the first time I'd ever been to this spot - great how Flickr lets us see so many places through everyone else's eyes (& lenses) & inspires us to get out there & explore.

When I first saw pictures of this, the perspective made me think the post was about 18 inches high - the kind of thing you sometimes get in a garden to mark the grave of a small family pet like a hamster, guinea pig or gerbil - but it's actually very big.

Commonly known as the Windy Post this chunk of granite is around 7 feet tall but despite the misleading name the reason it is leaning is not down to the wild Dartmoor winds.

You see, Dartmoor ponies are quite poorly equipped to deal with itchiness.

Unlike human hands and fingers which are extremely sophisticated both in terms of placement and application of pressure - ponies hooves are far too unwieldy & crude for localised scratching - and of course they can't reach all over the pony's body.

The only other major tool in the pony's scratching armoury is a vigorously whipping tail action, but even this together with hooves leaves large areas unscratchable.

For this reason Dartmoor ponies have been known to rub themselves against this post to relieve any urgently itchy areas - being intelligent animals they usually rub downhill allowing gravity to apply pressure and do most of the work as they rub gently backwards and forwards.

Over the last several hundred years this has caused the post to lean downwards :)

I just managed to get here about an hour before sunset and couldn't believe my luck that there were some great clouds & crepuscular Rays appearing to highlight the post!

Shortly after this the rain came down very heavily & the sunset was very poor but was grateful for this light & reflections.

- must dash my wife has just caught me on Flickr again which means another spanking is imminent :(

Here's something brand spanking new. From offcuts, I made MDF Poodles to be mounted on mailboxes (or the front of your Cadillac...or whatever). Thus far, I've got a Standard Poodle design and a gaiting Toy Poodle design--both designs in white, black and (as you would expect) PINK! We leave for PCA on Friday! Look out!

Best well wishes to all of my friends online and offline alike on the first day of this brand-spanking new year, and everyday after that. ;-)

The brand-spanking new Salesforce Tower in all its glory lording it over the San Francisco skyline.

I had been wondering why there are no super skyscrapers in SF prior to Salesforce Tower (itis a little over 1000 ft - compared with TransAmerica Pyramid which is about 200 ft shorter, and New YorkCity’s new WTC which is almost 1800 ft tall). Turns out that SF had been resisting building skyscrapers partly to preserve its local culture. Now with the sprawling Salesforce Tower - and more new modern buildings to come, activitists contend that these office structures are drawing thousands of new residents with high paying jobs, pushing out lower income families who’ve lived in the city for generations. I am afraid that a balance between progress and sustainability would almost be an insurmountable task to undertake.

Thanks to everyone for your “likes” and words of encouragement.

Up for some fun, sex myths exposed brings you sexy times with "Playmates"

If you like to be chained up & beaten by a leather clad dominatrix, or even just enjoy a good spanking - you could be forgiven for feeling a frisson of excitement at the mention of Belt of Venus - after all Venus is the goddess of love.

Unfortunately I discovered this week that Belt of Venus is a term for something much more humdrum - the pink arch seen above the blue band of the Earth's shadow as witnessed here behind Coit tower.

Had to do this long panorama of evening light on the buildings on Nob hill - didn't feel I could cut out Coit tower or the Art Deco buildings on Fisherman's wharf?

Wanted to wait for a blue hour shot but was getting that look of impatience from my wife that says it's dinner time.

Yes Buzz light year is spanking someone,,

This GEVO is brand-spanking new. You can tell not only from the nearly spotless paint (especially on the trucks and fuel tank) but also the roster at The Diesel Shop (which was updated on August 3) states that 7561 is the latest unit delivered.

I looooooove my new bike

LOMO LC-A @ Kitakami, Iwate, Japan

My friend is coming my way at the highest speed. We've been snowboarding for the last 15 years and these days, we prefer free-riding more than free style like jumping, sliding and so on. He is absolutely a high-speed addict. So am I.
