Capture taken during recent London visit. First evening was quite british, but that left the ground with some nice reflective wet...have a good weekend ahead! Stay safe!

This artwork is a collage of some photos I took the other day of the controversial i360 Tower that's been built on Brighton seafront. The tower is 162 metres (531 feet) in height and at present the world's first vertical cable car and glass viewing pod is being fitted; it will cruise up to 450 feet and those brave enough to go up on it will see a 360 degree view of up to 26 miles.
The opinions of the local residents of the city are, of course, divided!

Southern Ireland near Killarney. A statue of the Virgin Mary is set amongst the foliage. Such holy symbols are a common sight there.
The boat house in Birkenhead Park, UK. The world's first publicly funded civic park. Designed by Joseph Paxton and opened in 1847.
I love the frosty bracken and the backlit fading leaves of the oak showing the transition from autumn to winter in the woods. Just to add, took another picture of this oak today (5/12) will post soon.
I got out of the car when I got home and I had my camera with me (of course!) Spotted this tiny 3mm fly on my headlight.
Born in 1776, William John Bankes was as a young man an aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington and became an active Member of Parliament.
While in residence at Kingston Lacy, William John made many changes, including the installation of the Egyptian obelisk that may be seen in the gardens to this day. One of the first things he did was to plant a beech avenue lining the road from near the house’s entrance drive to beyond Badbury Rings. The road was a turnpike, and the Bankes family enjoyed the revenue from it. The avenue was a birthday gift to William John’s mother, Frances, and there were 365 trees on one side of the road for each day of the year and 366 on the other, for a leap year.
Today the road is the B3082, the main route between Wimborne and Blandford. The trees are not surprisingly showing signs of age and disease. The National Trust have so far replaced some seventy of them with hornbeams, which are just as attractive but are better able to withstand the disadvantages of being alongside a busy road.
