A hundred or so yards north of Combe Down Tunnel, now visible from some way along the old trackbed once more.
Tree and vegetation removal in progress ...
Trees are being removed where they obstruct the route or risk damage to structures, the principle being followed is generally to remove the minimum number compatible with clearing the way for the Two Tunnels route, and replace the number lost by replanting with native species.
The opportunity has been taken to clear some of the laurel because where it grows it suppresses everything else ...
Temples of Talakad, Karnataka, India
The Group of temples at Talakad, located about 45 km south-east of the culturally important city of Mysore in the Karnataka state of India are ancient Hindu temples built by multiple South Indian dynasties. Archaeological excavations of the sand dunes at Talakad (or Talakadu) have shown the existence of several ruined temples built during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty (c.345-999). However, according to historian I. K. Sarma, only two temples, the Pataleshvara (also spelt Patalesvara) and Maraleshvara (also spelt Maralesvara), built during the reign of King Rachamalla Satyavakya IV (r.975-986) are intact. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Vaidyeshvara temple (also spelt Vaidyesvara), the largest, the most intact and ornate of the group bears Ganga-Chola-Hoysala architectural features. Its consecration is assignable to the 10th century with improvements made up to the 14th century. According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the Kirtinarayana temple (also spelt Keertinarayana) was built in 1117 A.D. by the famous Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad. It has currently been dismantled by the ASI for renovation. Only its mahadwara ("grand entrance") is intact. The Sand dunes of Talakad are protected by the Karnataka state division of the ASI. The Vaidyeshvara and Kirtinarayana temples are protected as monuments of national importance by the central Archaeological Survey of India.
Bud Granley and Ross Granley, a father and son duo, fly their aircraft, a Yakovlev Yak-55 (smaller red aircraft), and a Yakovlev Yak-18T (larger white and red aircraft) respectively, in the Canadian Arctic Aviation Tour over Whitehorse Yukon. These two Russian built planes are very strong and very aerobatic. The Granleys put them through some incredible manoeuvres, flying both in and out of formation.

The bright yellow livery on the Two service from Ilkeston - Nottingham is certainly eye catching, on 14-07-11 Wright bodied Volvo 742 FJ09 XPA heads along South St Ilkeston.
I’m pretty sure that is not something intended by the person who painted those two faces (they’re probably not the same person actually), but I see in it “happy but childish and unrealistic face” and “realistic but depressed face”.
I followed him as long as I could but he finally went faster than I could! The young buck was a surprise to me as well!

Down Town Tour late afternoon. It didn't take long to get really dark. I got of the Bus here to look around the World Trade Centre and 9 11 Tribute Memorial. It was really dark when I got back on the bus again.
Because I only had one full day in New York I took back to back Hop On Hop Off Buses. Some of the images are not very good as the bus would go over bumps etc,. I have kept them in as memorises of the day. I only got off the bus once so most of the photos were taken as we were travelling along. Sadly I just didn't have time to have a good walk around.
I woke to a lovely sunny day and not too cold with around 16c. As the day went on it clouded over a bit and cooled down. November 7, 2018 USA
Two-tailed Pasha (Charaxes jasius), in Greece.
There is 1 place left on the forthcoming tour of Rhodes, Greece. See link for details or contact me...
www.greenwings.co/page/greek-island-odyssey--rhodes--gree...
The island of Rhodes is blessed with more days of sunshine (300 or more) than almost anywhere else in Europe, so its name ‘The Isle of the sun’ is well justified.
The tour will encompass the diverse flora and fauna, culture, cuisine and history of Rhodes. We will stay right in the heart of the medieval old town (a World Heritage Site), in a charming and traditional Greek family hotel.
From our base we will venture out in a comfortable mini-bus to explore the island. There will be chances to see and photograph lots of flora and fauna, including Lesser Fiery Copper, Bee-eater, Golden Oriole, Scarce and European Swallowtail, Oertzen’s Rock Lizard, Rhode’s Dragon, Aegean Meadow Brown, Long-tailed Blue, Large Wall Brown, Dragon Arum, King Ferdinand’s Orchid, the rare and beautiful endemic Rhodes Peony and Fritillary and much more!
The adventure will start on Thursday 26th April and journey’s end will be reached on Thursday 3rd May.
10% of profits will be donated to Butterfly Conservation.

Two Rivers.
The river, personified in stone, adorns the city’s heart,
keeping company with the Rusted Man
and Queen Victoria:
A beautiful carving, but unreal, divorced from nature’s streams:
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
The true river rises in low hills to the south, in a muddy hollow
seeping from the earth, haunt of dragonfly and frog;
surrounded, in summer by willowherb and meadowsweet.
Downhill it trickles, sluggishly, through ditches and dykes,
becoming a little brook with grassy banks, marsh marigolds,
and over-hanging willows.
All too soon, the city’s edge is reached, and the infant river is throttled,
thwarted, aborted:
submerged in suburbia, constrained by concrete,
until eventually it is hidden altogether,
forced back underground, ignored, built over, forgotten.
In its place, we have invented a river,
gushing from the hands of the statue,
flowing prettily down regular steps,
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
In times of heavy rain the real river rises rapidly,
rushing furiously, swollen and brown, between the restricting banks.
Suddenly it overflows, flooding roads,
causing traffic chaos and damage to property,
making nonsense of history’s attempts to tame it,
mocking,
taunting, the artificial river in the city square,
endlessly recycling the same sterile water.
