Portrait of a friend in Manali, Himachal.
I was trying to take a candid side portrait when she noticed my camera. I think she decided to pose for the click. You know instantly when someone's a natural in front of a camera. Posing for a photo requires as much talent as taking one!
The premises are owned by the National Trust and the business run by Nicholson's.
The building has history going back to 1826. Polychromatic exterior tiles help to give the pub a very distinctive look.
Also know by an older name, The Crown Liquor Saloon.
At 46 Great Victoria Street, Belfast.
The CWGC headstone of George Baxter from the Glider Pilot Regiment, Army Air Corp. This is in the Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery at Oosterbeek and is mainly for the war dead of Operation Market Garden.
From the headstone we can see that George Baxter died on the very first day of the action, Sunday 17th September 1944. 229 glider pilots died in Operation Market Garden. One of the problems was that if the glider was carrying a payload of a heavy weapon and made a hard landing the payload (may be a 17 pounder gun) would break free of its straps and smash through in to the cockpit. Also the landing grounds quickly became cluttered with broken gliders making it difficult to fine a clear landing strip. The Glider Pilot Regiment never totaled more than 2,500 men, about 1,500 pilot, and lost a total of 551 pilots during WW2. So losing 229 in just a few days after 17th September 1944 was a major blow.

Well protected behind thick hedges, high fences and a secure gated entrance on to the extensive grounds and property is Baker Street Windmill, Orsett, Essex.
Built about 1765 with a later steam mill next to it. The properties are now residential accomodation and appears to have no public access despite a map that I looked at showing a footpath passing right next to the windmill.
Best view is from an elevated section of the A13.
