Tunstead Works near Buxton is one of the largest quarries in Europe producing around 6 million tonnes of stone each year.
My Dell's Win 10 reached it's sale by date late last week ... lock ups and crashing etc... Time for a reformat and fresh install.
Had a go at one of the other shots of the lighthouse, Kiama to test everything was working again.
It's a bit of a house of cards setting up a pc these days (unless it's a Mac) so your never sure how it's going to run till its done.
Two frames for the foreground ISO100 f/11 2s and 30s
Milkyway - 6 frames ISO 6400 f/5.6 raw developed in DxO PhotoLab 5 - stacked in Sequator and touched up back in PhotoLab
Stack aligned in Affinity Photo - with luminosity masking.
Rays courtesy of Luminar 4 - NB Kiama Lighthouse does emit beams but with that incredibly bright floodlight it was a struggle to expose for them.
Bit of a tweak in Viveza 3 and Color Efex Pro 5 and finally back into PhotoLab for a wash and dry - I did say I wanted to test out the install after all. ☺️

Stadsgraanzuiger No19 Getreideheber Infos*
Der Weltweit einzige noch Existierende Dampf-Getreideheber.
Das Prinzip ist einfach und doch unvorstellbar, und funktioniert wie ein Staubsauger.
Das MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) und das Maritime Museum Rotterdam haben für dieses besondere Schiff eine Art Plan für ein geteiltes Sorgerecht erarbeitet.
Der Getreideheber steht unter gemeinsamer Mittelverwaltung und legt eine Hälfte der Zeit in Antwerpen und die andere Hälfte in Rotterdam an.
Aber, nach einer 92-jährigen Karriere fängt selbst so eine großartige Maschine wie der Getreideheber an, einige Schwächen zu zeigen.
Sowohl der Ponton, der Turm als auch die Elektronik müssen restauriert werden, um das Ganze dauerhaft und für die Zukunft funktionsfähig zu halten.
Deswegen wird der Getreideheber voraussichtlich zwei Jahre in Rotterdam bleiben, bevor er wieder nach Antwerpen kommt.

Grain lifter 19 Infos*
The principle is simple yet unimaginable, and works like a vacuum cleaner.
The World's only surviving steam grain lifter.
The MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) and the Maritime Museum Rotterdam have developed a kind of plan for shared custody for this particular ship.
The cereal lifter is under joint management and spends half of its time in Antwerp and the other half in Rotterdam.
But, after a 92-year career, even such a great machine as the grain lifter is starting to show some weaknesses.
Both the pontoon, the tower and the electronics need to be restored to keep the whole thing permanent and functional for the future.
For this reason, the grain lifter is expected to stay in Rotterdam for two years before coming back to Antwerp.

Love these smoketree leaves - every one is so different!
The species (Cotinus coggygria) is also called dyer's sumach and has been used to make red dyes for textiles in the Middle East. During World War I, the Turkish army had uniforms and tents dyed with it, whereby both leaves and shoots were used, which contain tannins and produce a brown dye.
A yellow dye (called young fustic) can be extracted from the wood of Cotinus coggygria – this was highly valued in the Middle Ages. Pliny the Elder recorded that dyer's sumac was used in antiquity to dye leather.
Today, it is predominantly grown for its clouds of delicate flowers and the fiery autumn colours...
14th March 2024. The little pool under Bryer Court used to be home to about a hundred Ghost Carp. Unfortunately, the water is so shallow, and the fish got so big, that their fins and backs were often out of the water and they got sunburn. They had to be moved into the big lake and then they were moved with all the other fish in 2004 when the main lake was ‘refurbished’.
The Bryer ‘pond’ used to be full of bulrushes. Moor hens and their young were able to nest there in complete safety because, although the water is only a few inches deep, the foxes couldn’t get at them – they won’t go into water.
The Bryer Court pond was emptied and resurfaced as part of the major repairs to the surface of Beech Gardens, but has since been restored, albeit with less attractive vegetation.
Since 2019, Bryer Court pond looks more like a municipal swimming pool than a lake because the bottom has become an unnatural shade of blue. This is caused by a vegetable dye which is being put in the water. The purpose is to get rid of ‘blanket weed’ which, if left unattacked, can take over the lake. It works by filtering the sunlight and this prevents the weed from photosynthesising which it needs in order to grow.
56111 at Doncaster Works on 17th October 1982, just over a week before it was accepted into traffic.
56111 was part of batch 1510, of this batch 56091-115 were built at Doncaster, with the remainder to 56135 built at Crewe. My dad also saw 56112, in undercoat on this day, whilst 56113-115 were all nearing completion inside the works, after this Doncaster ceased building Class 56's, instead focusing on building 58's.
56111 would enter traffic on 24th October 1982, one of just three members of the class to enter traffic directly to Healey Mills, the others being 56110, on 3rd October 1982 and 56108 on 20th June.
Although 56111 did not officially enter traffic until 24/10, it was working off Healey Mills on Friday 22nd October when my dad observed it heading east through Featherstone with a loaded MGR train at 07:35.
56111's stint at Healey Mills wouldn't last and it would transfer to Tinsley during May 1983, remaining there until early 1987.

A cun of road to the comlex.
The ruins of an abandoned cement works in Alsen, NY. This was a quick stop as I didn't want to risk ticks and hurting my knees in the overgrowth. Also, I got this close because a gate was open that allowed me to cross the tracks. A track crew was nearby and I did not want to get locked in.

Southern Shorthaul Railroad has added the former Railfirst C’s to their ever growing locomotive fleet.
A disused Iron Works near Mells in Somerset. Well worth a visit, even if only to have lunch at the nearby Mells post office. The Ironworks was shutdown in 1895 and is being takenback into nature by the trees and plants.
The buildings are also home to horseshoe bats so the whole area is designated a SSSI.
