ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 3 = H = HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

This week is highland week around Loch Long and the scottish village of Arrochar just two miles west of Loch Lomond. The loch is tidel and the small building on the far side was used to test torpedos, but has been badly burnt since it closed. It was early morning when the photos with the low clouds were taken, no wind and fantastic refections.


The last four photos are of Arrochar church or kirk and what I think is interesting information within the church yard or cemetary, the light that fell on this church in the early morning was really made it look really beautiful, if you enlarge this one picture you will see what I am talking about, but all are best seen enlarged if you have time.

ABC WEDNESDAY 3 = G = GREAT BANDS = MASS PIPES AND DRUMS OF THE EDINBURGH TATTOO 2008

19 August 2008 late evening in Edinburgh at the Edinburgh Festival and Military Tattoo, the photos are the very best I could do as it rained from start to finnish.

I felt really sorry for the Chelsea Pensioners who had to sit in the stands for the whole show, then asked to join in the march off, why could they not have been allowed to sit with all the other VIPs under cover, or was it more important to keep a few so called bebs dry?

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 3 = E = ENGINE

The photos were taken at the Pickering Traction Engine Rally on the Second August 2008 the engines were the first things I saw, and thought they would be good for this ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 3. The rally was fantastic and later on will be posting more from my day out, the large and small traction engines and some more on cars and not forgetting the old motorbikes.

Hope you like these?

CARVINGS AT BURTON AGNES HALL EAST YORKSHIRE

Here are the full set of carvings from Burton Agnes Hall this set includes the one I posted for ABC Wednesday last week.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did and still do, the words say it all just have a read, there is more to see if you enlarge the photographs.

Depending on the light is how they appear to be different colors/colours, deep or light bronze. You will notice I have shown one carving twice, no reason why!!

The frist picture is the beautiful Burton Agnes Hall the Hydrangea bushes that can be seen, are all around the hall and all the same color/colour.

Close to the church tower that can just be seen, is were I found the carvings, to visit the church you have to leave the grounds and take a short walk.

ABC WEDNESDAY = C = CARVINGS

I came across this carving in the grounds of Burton Agnes Hall, there are about 9 in all, the others will be posted on my return in about three days from today. It looks as if the wood could be ply and the carvings coloured to simulate bronze. You need to click on the photo to see it at it's best and read the words.
