Re: Today in pictures

Today with a threat of rain, but with a wind to keep it away we set off to Troy Quarry.

1. Spoil piles are now almost invisible.
2. A slight diversion passed the quarry, I am looking for a trough.
3. Sheep are content to live in the scar ridden landscape.
4. On the edge of a long lost community the gate post still stands sentinel for its owners who have slipped into the past.
5. Found it, it looks out over the quarry it came from.
6. Troy Quarry, stone from here paved London, its quartz based sandstone was used to pave large areas of the Capital but the most famous location is Trafalgar Square, how many of us have walked the capital and not realised the stone under our feet came from home.
7. Life on the edge.
8. We all find ways to entertain ourselves. Life on the edge part 2.
9. The area has a gentle bumpiness about it.
10. This stream is one of many that draw lines in the landscape of this area.
