I never got one useable picture.

My other half asked me if Bob had been down the treacle mines. He doesn't know much about Accy but he has heard about Sabden and its claim to fame.

Its a syrup seam here, they found it when the brickworks closed.

What you can see on bob is, first he went in the Hyndburn brook up to his plimpsole line, then we came back up a very dusty path, the dust then stuck to his wet bits and there were a lot of those. The end result is the same, but it wasn't wet dirt it was dry dirt. Although he still required a hosing down at home

Re: Today in pictures

Glad folks liked my pics of Iceland yesterday. Here's some more of that amazing landscape.

1 The Gullfoss waterfall disappearing
2 It ends up down here in this crack in the rocks
3 The rock face at the side of the chasm
4 Close up of the water as it disappears
5 The water does a 90degree turn to end up in the river below
6 Moving on to Thingvellir, the site of the original outdoor Icelandic parliament a thousand years ago. The rock outcrops provided good acoustics for the reading out of the laws.This is a place where two tectonic plates are pulling the Earth's surface aprt.
7 Close up of rock formation at Thingvellir
8 View across the area, the lines of rocks are where the plates are separating and creating new land in between
9 River and lake at Thingvellir
10 Patterns made in molten rock as it cools

Great geological features and it looks lovely and cool! I particularly like the view with the church.

Re: Today in pictures

We appear to be living in the middle of a building site -danger at every turn with heavy machinery and vehicles thundering through and men on all the roofs! They are making progress as you will see.

Another large consignment of solar panels today -on the photo of the boxes you can just make out "Made in China" -surely a German investor should be buying European goods! Have found out that we have rented this investor our roof space for something like a cool 400K Euros upfront - that's for 20 years. Plus the farm will be getting it's electricity supply free...that's what is coming over on the jungle drums here

Final photo -business as usual on the farm - a newborn calf.

It was actually quite a hot day when we were there - mid August but I think the lack of much vegetation gives the impression of a cool climate. That view with the church is very pretty but not that typical of the landscape! Actually Iceland is not quite in the Arctic Circle so its climate is not that harsh, especially with all the geothermal activity.

The thermal activity would not affect the climate. The population live near to the coast where it would be warmer but once you get inland it can be very harsh.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, is a walk done many times before, so no landscape shots, just the opposite.

1. Green-veined butterfly, although it does look a little blue to me!
2. Spider protecting her young.
3. Still protecting her young, from me.
4. Small Skipper butterfly.
5. Same Small Skipper.
6.Rush hour at Fosters Swing Bridge.
7. Fuchsia in St Mary's Burial Ground.
8. Ladybird on a Thistle, with a collection of smaller wickthings lower down.

Nice photos posted from others from around the world.
