This was taken while on my way back from Murree, Pakistan on the new highway that they have recently made which connects Muuree to Islamabad (capital of Pakistan).
You can very clearly see how the trees have been cut to make way for the road. Its sad how such 'developmental' projects are carried out with the least regard for the environment.
On a side note, the thing I like best about this picture was how the clouds (in the back) seem to be making their way down through the trees :)
Philip got me an Elephant Heart plum tree. I'm so excited. It makes THE BEST JAM in the whole world.
I see I still have to finish the rest of my beds for this garden. Where is all the time going?
Port Sunlight at the Merseyside in Cheshire.
Lever, like many Victorians, wanted his workers to share in his wealth which they had helped create. The squalor of the slums in which most workers lived appalled him and his guiding philosophy was that all men could improve themselves given a fair chance, in decent conditions. Tired of paying heavy port dues for his exports and rent for his factory buildings, he decided to buy a site and build his own factory, with port access and decent housing for his workers at reasonable rents. He would provide them with schools, library, institutes and public buildings which they could use to improve themselves as he had done. In return, they were to prove themselves worthy of all this by following a life of sobriety, thrift and the desire for self-improvement. So was founded Port Sunlight, a model village "neat and cheerful" which fulfilled Lever's desire to share his profits with his workers and combined with his interests in housing reform.
In the context of the Victorian era, in which it was conceived, the creation of Port Sunlight Village by William Hesketh Lever was unparalleled. The tumultuous changes wreaked by the Industrial Revolution still had not been fully embraced even as late as the early twentieth century.
47 828 heads 5Z60 Carnforth to Tyseley heading down the Sutton Park line with 57 315 on the opposite end of the train. The tree growth at this location has been phoenominal during the past 12 months with the shot of anything heading in the Park Lane direction nigh on impossible.
Probably the biggest, most developed Joshua tree I saw. They say the oldest tree in the park is 300 years old, could this be it?

I wish I had a GPS enabled camera, because this one I can't remember exactly where it was taken. I'm 98% sure it's somewhere along the stretch of road shown in the geotag though.
Inspired to post this picture after seeing: Dream beneath the desert sky.
Another that gives a sense of scale.

A late September 2018 visit to Packwood House, another National Trust property. Been meaning to visit this one myself for a while now!
A nice cool Sunday afternoon to visit Packwood.
Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor house near Lapworth, Warwickshire. Owned by the National Trust since 1941, the house is a Grade I listed building. It has a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, and is known for the garden of yews.
The house began as a modest timber-framed farmhouse constructed for John Fetherston between 1556 and 1560. The last member of the Fetherston family died in 1876. In 1904 the house was purchased by Birmingham industrialist Alfred Ash. It was inherited by Graham Baron Ash (Baron in this case being a name not a title) in 1925, who spent the following two decades creating a house of Tudor character. He purchased an extensive collection of 16th- and 17th-century furniture, some obtained from nearby Baddesley Clinton. The great barn of the farm was converted into a Tudor-style hall with sprung floor for dancing, and was connected to the main house by the addition of a Long Gallery in 1931.
In 1941, Ash donated the house and gardens to the National Trust in memory of his parents but continued to live in the house until 1947 when he moved to Wingfield Castle.

This tree is near the flower walk that borders the west lawn of Monticello.
The size and texture certainly fascinated me.
