The Ouse on Thursday... 25+ feet above 'normal'

When you look at the clip, we'd approached from the north-east, to cross the bridge from the 'far side'

Took this last summer on the shore of Loch na Keal on Mull. There are still a few around but they are slowly disappearing I think. There are granite ones on the Tobermory to Dervaig road but often hidden by vegetation.

Today, at dinnertime

Sandal Castle
(south of Wakefield city centre)

It's a defensive dich, not dug as a moat...

I've probably featured this before, but circa July 2018
The 'Trans-Pennine Trail', along the trackbed of the 'Great Northern', 'North Eastern', 'Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway'
(otherwise known as the 'Methley Joint Line')

This is essentially in the shadow of the M62, on its eastern side (between jcts 30 & 31)

Towton Bridge
A162/'Tadcaster TurnPike'


There is, supposedly a benchmark on here, but unless there's been stonework repairs, it's not visible

It's the wall opposite the junction; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1871012


The line it spans was the first to be closed, under the Beeching Axe

This was the nearest station (circa 3/4 mile to the north-west)
