Just a few miles from Dunbar in East Lothian in Scotland is a memorial drinking fountain and horse trough commissioned by Richard Hunter of Thurston to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887. It is at the roadside heading west from Innerwick village to Thurston House, and is now sadly neglected and almost covered in foliage. I was much taken by the words on the memorial, which remind us how very vital horses were to our economy and way of life back in Victorian times.
This water Trough was built into the wall so water could be got from either side. Minsmere RSPB Bird Reserve Suffolk.
It was quite difficult trying to get a new take on this building (and the arctic temperatures didn't help matters) - so I gave up and followed the tried and tested formula.

I found this old fountain (in the past used as trough for horses) in Verres (Italy, Valle D'Aosta), near the ancient castle. This is the result of three joined shot.
La fontaine-aux-Lions-de-Nubie fut conçue en 1811 par l'ingénieur Pierre-Simon Girard. Elle à d'abord été érigée place du Château-d 'eau, futur place de la République. Transférée en 1867 à la Villette pour servir d'abreuvoir au bétail à l'entrée du marché, aujourd'hui la Grande halle.

The fontaine-aux-lions-de-Nubie (Lion-of-Nubia fountain) was designed in 1811 by the engineer Pierre-Simon Girard. It was first erected on the Place du Château-d'eau, the future Place de la République. It was transferred in 1867 to La Villette to serve as a drinking trough for cattle at the entrance to the market, now the Grande Halle. This fountain is one of the first models of the use of cast iron for fountains. It was built in Le Creusot. Listed as a historical monument.
Castleton
This old water filled stone trough would at one time have been used as a drinking place for horses and cattle. It’s situated on a track just outside the village of Castleton. The water is still quite clean looking despite all the plants growing in and around it.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
This trough just out of Derby is said to be the longest trough in Australia and possibly, the southern hemisphere. It is 120 metres long and can water 500 cattle at one time. It was built in 1917.
It made an interesting subject in a not so good Kimberley sunset.
On Sunday went went for drive around the Peak District whilst the snow was still around. Never fails to amaze me how beautiful it really is no matter when we pass through :D This was taken near Great Hucklow.
1978 Mercedes Benz 450 SE in Herten.
Originally a test vehicle for the engine of the upcoming W126 S-Class.
Later it was modified with a reinforced front and used to train special driving maneuvers like breaking trough road blocks by U.S. Army VIP drivers.
The car withstood over 500 ram maneuvers.

A lot of young Lemgruber Nelore bulls receive reinforcement feed of corn silage and supplement in order to "beef up" for an upcoming online auction. Otherwise, these Nelore cattle are entirely grass-fed.
