My picture of the day-Where's yours?

Hope that not on rack ready to go in the oven.

No placed around doors & windows to stop spiders from entering the house ;-)

Friday morning
Circa 04:45

Newly marked lane
'Stanley Hill'
A642 'Aberford Road'
(between Stanley & Pinderfields General Hospital)

Ironically, the traffic on this road, has probably dropped by 75%+, since a 'relief road' was opened a couple of months ago, to bypass this road


My picture was taken above the car on left, & the new road, curves left, through the position of the stone-wall

A totally original 1959 Porsche 356 at a clients premises this morning

The only Porsche, barring their tractors that I like

Hooray, finally taking my living room rug to the tip and getting a new one.
Think someone wants to hold onto it though, good for claw sharpening

Lost in a great patch of this glossy-leafed plant, a single,solitary flower. How it hopes to propagate like that I can't imagine.

I heard a story of Ghosts near there, a Victorian couple, apparently killed in a coaching accident

That's Vinca. It spreads by puttting out runners that root.

Yesterday

I had intended riding home along the river (Calder) bank, & then through the Woods, but, I got about 50 yards before I was going sideways, but still in the correct direction with both wheels in different ruts, with both mudguards clogged up

I took this. just off the path, on what is called the 'Trash Screen Bridge', it carries a bridleway & vehicular access (via locked gates)
(I detoured onto the bridge, hence the direction the bike is facing)

This is it as seen, from the modern Aquaduct
I would have been following the river in the direction of the photograph (shown in map under photo, as 'dismantled railway')

NB;
The orange object, in the background, is a North Sea Oil Rig survival 'pod'/craft
The pedico-ed building in the background was the Office for the coal-staithes there; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2416251

This is the history of the older aquaduct; http://www.stanleyhistoryonline.com/Stanley-Ferry-History.html

From which a range of drugs were developed I think.

Bored on a nightshift, on an RFA vessel. Bike cleaning with baby wipes and found that the lube I used has congealed around my cassette. Proper clean later I think!
