The upper tangent arc around the sun today was quite bright. The halo has been visible all afternoon. The parhelic circle is faint. I haven't seen too many of those before.

The Upper Geyser Basin (Yellostone National Park) is famous for hosting Old Faithful Geyser. But there is much more in the area than just this famous geyser. The Upper Geyser Basin also boasts the largest concentration of geysers in the world, including many of the worlds largest geysers.
This 1,430-foot (440 m) plunge alone is among the twenty highest waterfalls in the world. Trails from the valley floor and down from other park areas outside the valley lead to both the top and base of Upper Yosemite Fall. The upper fall is formed by the swift waters of Yosemite Creek, which, after meandering through Eagle Creek Meadow, hurl themselves over the edge of a hanging valley in a spectacular and deafening show of force.

Unlike most two-level saintes chapelles, the one at Chateaudun has the main chapel downstairs and a sort of addendum upstairs. The Lord of the castle worshipped down below, not here.
Why? He had gout. Stairs were not, therefore, his cup of tea.
Last stop of the day back over the Nottinghamshire side of the border was St Luke's church at Upper Broughton (also known as Broughton Sulney), a building picturesquely sited on sloping ground. It is mainly 14th century though some parts (including the entire chancel) were rebuilt in the Victorian period.
Of course it was again too let to see inside, it was all locked up so we made do with a few external shots. Luckily we could still enjoy the church's most notable feature, a bizarre piece of Norman carving in the porch which seems to depict stylised plant forms with a small figure of a man alongside. It was probably originally part of a tympanum over the south door and was relocated here when the south aisle was demolished and the present porch built in the mid 18th century.
I think there may have been a key available here but being so late in the day we decided to leave it for another time.

This seven room brick home at 1237 West First Avenue in Grandview Heights was advertised for sale in the June 1918 issue of the Norwester magazine. The first floor contained a large entry hall, an extra large living room with fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen and a pantry. The second floor had three bedrooms and a bathroom, and the home also featured a finished third floor. The advertisement was placed by the Northwest Boulevard Company with Ben Thompson listed as the president, King G. Thompson as the secretary, and F. A. Shawaker as the sales manager. The Northwest Boulevard Company deeded land to the Franklin County Commissioners to be used as the right of way for the construction of Northwest Boulevard. That street became a direct route from Upper Arlington to downtown Columbus and one of the most important developments in the growth of the village.

Upper and Lower Table Rocks are two of the most prominent topographic features in the Rogue River Valley. These flat-topped buttes rise approximately 800 feet above the north bank of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. Upper and Lower refer to their positions relative to each other along the Rogue River; Lower Table Rock is located downstream, or lower on the river, from Upper Table Rock.
The Table Rocks were designated in 1984 as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) to protect special plants and animal species, unique geologic and scenic values, and education opportunities. The remarkable diversity of the Table Rocks includes a spectacular spring wildflower display of over 75 species, including the dwarf wooly meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. pumila), which grows nowhere else on Earth but on the top of the Table Rocks. Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), federally listed as threatened, inhabit the seasonally formed vernal pools found on the tops of both rocks.
The 4,864-acre Table Rocks Management Area is cooperatively owned and administered by the Medford District Bureau of Land Management (2,105 acres) and The Nature Conservancy (2,759 acres). Memorandums of Understanding signed in 2011 and 2012 with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians allow for coordinating resources to protect the Table Rocks for present and future generations. A cooperative management plan for the area was completed in 2013.
From Interstate 5, take Exit #33 heading east one mile on East Pine Street and turn north at the signal onto Table Rock Road. Drive 5.3 miles to Modoc Road and turn north. The trailhead is accessible off Modoc Road.
The Upper Table Rock trail is approximately 2.5 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 736 feet. Allow 2 to 3 hours for the entire hike. It is an easy/moderate trail with some steep sections. Good sturdy shoes and water are strongly recommended. There is no water available on the trail or at the trailhead. This trail is suggested for first time hikers.
On your ascent up the trail keep an eye out for the unique monolith rock formations. These irregular shaped monoliths may have been part of the original lava flow. On a clear day the summit offers a spectacular panoramic view that includes the Rogue River valley, Mt. McLoughlin, Mt. Ashland, and Pilot Rock.
