View towards the Bill from a low cliff near the disused Butts Quarries. The sea is swirling over the ledges below.
Towards the end of the long walk, before you reach the river, is a stand of older trees. There are over 270 trees within the parkland classed as ancient, some being over 900 years old.
Hope everyone had a safe and beautiful Diwali.
Here's wishing you success and prosperity in the days to come.
Looking towards 'The Pool' or inner harbour of the Colony of Avalon at Ferryland, near St. John's, Newfoundland. This enclosed bit of water would undoubtedly have proved very convenient for the earlier settlers. This cove is in use even today. The colony was founded by George Calvert, later Lord Baltimore, in 1621. Most people have no idea that permanent European settlement in North America dates so far back, and that Newfoundland played such an important role. The Ferryland settlement was "forgotten", and its remains lay undisturbed for centuries.The site is now being excavated and archaeologists have uncovered over a million artifacts from the stone constructed buildings including gold rings, Portuguese ceramics and other unusual objects. (Colony of Avalon/ Ferryland, St.John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, June 2015)
I stopped to take some photos of the sign. I'm not a people person, and I was getting too close to the group in front of me.

This building replaced the Grade ll listed Havelock Mill which stood on this site until its controversial demolition in 1992.
Here, the former Manchester & Salford Junction Canal joined the Rochdale Canal.
The Rochdale Canal runs for 33 miles between Manchester and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire. In Sowerby Bridge it connects with the Calder and Hebble Navigation. In Manchester it connects with the Ashton and Bridgewater Canals.
The canal opened through to Manchester in 1804. This made it the first trans-Pennine canal route. It remained profitable for some time but by the 20th century the tonnage being carried was in sharp decline. In 1937 the last boat made the through journey across the Pennines on the Rochdale Canal.
In 1952, the canal was closed apart from the short section between Castlefield and the Ashton Canal junction at Piccadilly. The Ashton was abandoned in 1962 and by 1965 the nine locks on the Rochdale through Manchester city centre were almost unusable. Enthusiastic supporters re-opened the Ashton in 1974 and the Rochdale Canal in Manchester was made good.
The Rochdale Canal Society was formed to promote the restoration of the canal and in the 1980s and 1990s small scale work began to re-open stretches of the canal between Todmorden and Sowerby Bridge. This involved restoring bridges and locks to navigable condition.
The most major project was the construction of the new Tuel Lane lock and tunnel in Sowerby Bridge. The lock replaced two locks in an infilled section and, with a fall of almost 20 feet, is the deepest lock on the inland waterways system. In 1996 the canal was opened to navigation once again between Sowerby Bridge and the summit level.
The canal was re-opened to navigation along its entire length in July 2002 and forms part of the South Pennine Ring.
