Re: Today in pictures
 

Interesting selection of pics from all -not much battery so will post a few more from Garda taken Saturday and Sunday...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, an appointment for "She who must be obeyed" at the Pals centre meant a walk around Platts Lodge for todays expedition.

1. It was raining at this point.
2. Woodnook Water as it passes the lodge.
3. And then whizzes past the Pals Centre.
4. The last time I was here there was buckets full of the caterpillar of the Cinnabar Moth. This was the only one I could find.
5.The factory behind used to be the toffee factory I think.
6. Giant Reed growing in the run off pond.
7. Run off pond from the other end.
8. Looking across the lodge from the Ormerod Street end.
9. It took me ages to buff up this greenbottle so you could see your face, actually if you look closely you can see my camera.
10. Still at the Ormerod Street end, then it was back to the car.

Re: Today in pictures
 

some lovely pics there Dave.
Love the one with the reeds.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Interesting selecion of photos there Sue, your not still in Norway are you?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Errr no that was 2010! Wish I were though! I'm stuck at home in not so sunny Morecambe at the moment, going through my back catalogue of pics as not getting out much at the moment.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its becoming and established area now, and changes everytime I visit.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, started on the canal, headed for the vets, and ended in Padiham.

1. There was a lot of these fluttering about today, the Speckled Wood Butterfly.
2. There was a bit of a drop in temperature today, the leaves are turning, and the buttercups that Bob bobbed about in have long gone.
3. Heading home past the colliery memorial. Then the vets for a booster jab, I took Bob for company.
4. On the way back, saw a park in Padiham ( Memorial ), it was a bit like the tardis, it opened up behind the wall to a park, a wooded walk, a river, and a greenway that took us to Simonstone.
5. At this point I was not sure where we were going, but using the "I wonder where that goes " principal we headed that way, or was it the other way.
6. Ended up on the Greenway, it looks like it used to be a railway.
7. After a long walk we approached Simonstone, I never knew there was a bridge here, and I have driven over it scores of times.
8. Even walking on tarmac he gets wet feet.
9. After heading back, we veered left into the park, don't know what this is about, but its different.
10. Back up through the park, and off to find the car.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some more carvings etc from my back catalogue...

1 Decorative plasterwork on a house, Parham, Suffolk
2 Close up of above
3 Gargoyle on the church at Parham. There were loads more, all spoilt by having pipes stuck in them
4 Elephant on the facade of the church of Santa Maria della Piazza (c.1210), Ancona, Italy
5 Bull, Osimo cathedral, Italy
6 Fountain, Fabriano, Italy
7 Lion, Pisa cathedral
8 Carved frieze of the sculptors' guild, Orsanmichele chapel, Florence
9 Decorative hitching point for a horse, Florence
10 Holder for a flaming torch, Florence

Re: Today in pictures
 

I like the widgets for horses and torches, a practical use with an ornate finish.

Re: Today in pictures
 

3 looks like it would fit on the drugs thread

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yep they knew how to make things look good, Florence is full of things like that on every corner.
Very droll and very true!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Back to reality after 5 days away. Just sorted all my remaining photos.

1-4 Walk to San Tommaso and a couple of views from there
5 Fishing boat in the evening on Lake Garda
6-8 A game of chess on the steps of the Town Hall
9 Old letterbox in Gargnano
10 Night time shot of the port.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Love them all Dianne....but did no-one tell those chaps playing chess that they would get piles from sitting on the cold stone?
I hope you had a lovely break away....I know I did, but it is the back to reality that spoils it:D.

Re: Today in pictures
 

some more from my wanderings.
1) The Mosaic in the Square at Lytham.
2) A little boat at anchor in Lytham.
3) Street art along the prom at Cleveleys........birds roosting on the sculpture. Not a fan of street art, but I liked this
4) Looking down the main drive to the War Memorial in Ashton Park.
5) The Pavilion in Ashton Park......the food in there was delicious.
6) Dancing in the Park - youngsters dancing to the music from the open air Art/ Music festival.
7) One of the dancers from the festival........I always thought that Morris dancing was a man's domain, but the ladies did a damn fine Morris dance.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Break was perfect -much needed. Glad yours was too...just off to have a look at your latest pics.

As to the chess players they never noticed me taking their pics -far too engrossed in the game. Their choice, to sit on the stones steps -note traditional benches in the background with wooden seats! I love the life in Italian squares - behind the players was a little fish stall in the corner and everyone is just going about their business...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely selection of shots -looks like the weather was great. (K sent earlier for the sunset shots -will have to double up for these.:)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Morris dancing is a male domain - and should be - but you can't keep the ladies down and there are a lot of women's teams now - plus, horror of horror - some mixed sides.

Those are the Fylde Coast Cloggers...

Fylde Coast Cloggers

Re: Today in pictures
 

And very good they were too.
Ma and I spent a lovely afternoon in the park......sunning ourselves and taking in the varied views.......oh yes, and we had a very large slice of Coffee cake just to put us on to dinner.
Hadn't spotted the K Dianne.......Many thanks, just glad you like the pics.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today to counteract Di's sunny scenes and Margaret's lovely holiday pics, some churches from northern latitudes.

1 Mosfellskirkja church near Reykjavik, Iceland. Nobel Prize winning author Halldór Laxness lived in the Mosfellsdalur valley. The farm on which he was raised now is the site of this church built in 1965
2 The church at Longyearbyen on the Norwegian island of Spitzbergen in the Svalbard archipelago
3 The Russian orthodox chapel in the Russian mining settlement of Barentsburg on Spitzbergen
4 Methodist church in Tromso, Norway
5 Tromsdalen Church (Tromsdalen Kirke), in Tromso, also known as the Arctic Cathedral, built in 1965. The church is actually a parish church and not, in fact, a cathedral
6 Close up of the church above from across the water
7 Borge church, Lofoten Islands, Norway. The church was built to echo the slope of the nearby mountain
8 Closeup of the church
9 Wooden Stave church ´Busknes Kirke´, Gravdal, Lofoten Islands, taken from the cruise ship as we were leaving the island. Looks like a pagoda!

Re: Today in pictures
 

After looking at todays contributions, they take you in different directions. I dont have anything to offer, apart from one photo Taken before it belted down, the people getting ready for the canal weekend at the wharf C-L-M

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely composition and colours, great cobbles too!:)

Shame the weather intervened after...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Tromsdalen reminds me a bit of a two-man tent for some reason...:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

A day out in Bardolino - some lovely features in the buildings but it was heaving with folk, really hot and a bit to touristy for my liking. Enjoyed the boat trip getting there though it was too windy to take any pics out on the lake...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Ooh, just lovely. I would be running around with my camera, not knowing quite what to snap first. I don't mind touristy...especially when there are such lovely buildings and sights to capture.

Re: Today in pictures
 

You would have had a field day then as i was hampered quite a lot by a grumbling "other half". Do you drive your husband mad as I do mine I wonder? He thinks I'm bonkers with this photography "bug" -hasn't even got the patience to look at the pics I take -not interested...can't understand why I photograph door-knockers or steps or anything really! He did actually take one shot of me in the whole holiday -under duress -though it came out quite well.

I had to be very patient to get some of the shots in Bardolino as there were so many people milling around!

Re: Today in pictures
 

No Dianne.......I don't drive him mad with taking pictures.......I leave him at home.
I get giddy with delight when I visit somewhere new........I sometimes forget to eat, so wrapped up am I in the pursuit of a 'good frame'....a different angle.

What does drive him mad is when I secrete myself in the back bedroom looking through the pics...playing with them, editing them, posting them.

This activity costs practically nothing, and gives me hours of pleasure.......I don't know how he would react if I took up Bingo, or carousing in the local ale houses. :D:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some more churches from above the Arctic Circle

1 Ilulissat, Greenland, with our cruise ship out at sea
2 Sisimiut, Greenland, town established in 1764. The new church, 1926, with people gathering outside the church on the right, for a funeral
3 Steps up to the church
4 The people gathering. Some are in national dress, which is a white cotton anorak for the men and gaily coloured top and white leggings and boots for the women
5 Little girl and woman in national dress. There were lots of brightly coloured flowers, all of them artificial
6 The funeral procession wended its way through town and ended up at the cemetery
7 The old church at Sisimiut, built 1775, with entrance arch made from the jawbone of a whale. New church is above on the right
8 Reconstructed Viking church, Brattahlid, Greenland
9 Entrance and bell cote of the Viking church with reconstructed Viking guide
10 The new church at Brattahlid, with remains of a Viking house in the foreground

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great pics Sue.
Love picture 7...must be the colours.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Richard is always very patient when I am taking photos - hence I have lots of pictures of him leaning against things! And he has his own camera... we tend to look at each other's pictures after a holiday but that's it.

What I do find is that sometimes I wish I didn't have the camera as it can get in the way of actually enjoying a place - but I keep taking pictures! But they are always secondary to my exploration, usually just snapshots, not considered pictures.

Another thing I've found is, especially when we went to Italy in 2009, is that sometimes you can do too much research on the internet. We went to several places and I felt as though I'd been there already as I'd read so much about them. So now I try not to delve too deeply before I go so there is some aspect of discovery when I get there.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks - if you like the colours - pic 2 in post 2144 is the back of the blue church. That was one thing I liked about Greenland - all the buildings are painted in bright colours, to offset the grey landscape.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I do understand that sentiment, I have thought it myself sometimes.

I think I do consider my pictures more now that I used to....and certainly if the visit is a return one.

I frequently look at my pictures.....especially in winter when the days are a bit grey and dismal. It allows me to re-live the visits I have made.

As for internet research....I just look at places that I might like to visit.
Just to get a 'flavour' of the place...and I look at maps of how to get where I want to go. Strangely, once I have looked at a map I rarely need to refer to it again......I can picture it in my head(this only refers to street maps).

Re: Today in pictures
 

I love maps - got shelves of them - prefer looking at them to reading guidebooks. Lets the imagination wander.

And I have to have a street map if I'm in a new place - then I don't have to worry about getting lost. And like you, I can usually carry it in my head.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, another wet day, but we still managed to yomp from Mill Lane to Martholm Lane along the woodland project.

1. Here we go.
2. through to 7. I have never found as many different fungi in one outing before, the last one reminds me of Mick Jagger.
8. Our destination, its fenced off, so not able to walk along the top.
9. From t'other side.
10. And at this point we set off back, it is still raining.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great set today Dave - love Mick Jagger. And the two with the viaduct and a carefully placed piece of foliage bottom left in each shot!

All no 6 needs is a few fairies!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Agree with you hole-heartedly here Sue - great selection.;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Here are a few more of my wildlife photos...:cool:

1) Tawny owl in hole.
2) Pair of Mandarin ducks.
3) Drake Mandarin.
4) Drake Red-crested Pochard.
5) Metal tortoise.
6) Pair of Black Swans.
7) Table in a park (art installation).
8) Tawny Owlet 1.
9) Tawny Owlet 2.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Brilliant Kestrelx. Love 3&4
Well shot!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Another great set there Kes. Love the owls - but are you sure the baby one isn't a feather duster? And the mandarin drake - looks as though he's been cut out of coloured paper... so sculptured.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Sorry about the viaduct being fenced off Dave.
I helped fence the Read side off when I worked on the farm at the other end.
The old track bed was bought by the farmer many years ago and is private land.
It helps to stop the robbers coming onto the caravan park when it is closed and stealing.

I will have a look through my collection of old photos and see if I can find any taken on the viaduct.

I know they are a few years old and not "today in pictured" which your thread is about but you may find them interesting.

Re: Today in pictures
 

That thing about something in the left corner, I don't know why I do it, but its in a lot on my shots. The landscapes I do with silhouetted foliage tend to start in the left corner usually with a tree. Could it have something to do with being left on a doorstep as a baby.

There were no fairies with number 6, but there was a Troll on his hands and knees, again, I'm getting housemaids knee.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The black swans are unusual, I have never seen one myself, nice picture.

Re: Today in pictures
 

What no billy goats gruff? There was a bridge nearby!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Re: Today in pictures
 

It would be interesting if you have some photos, the "today " theme is very elastic, and has produced some spanking photos as a result, so please post away with what you have.

I walked through from Mill Lane, never having walked it before, it was a "I wonder where that goes" moment, was I in Read at that point? I did notice the large fence had a small gate in the centre with a padlock on.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Weren't there some at Ossy Mills once upon a time?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I didn't mention, I went under the bridge, and I ate then all for supper.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thats a place I haven't been to for donkeys years. So am not sure what is there nowadays.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Likewise - but this video suggests there might be at least one...

Oswaldtwistle Mills - Shopping Centres / Shopping Outlets & Tourist Attractions in England, Days Out In The UK

Re: Today in pictures
 

Greedy - didn't leave any for Bob?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Black Swans are native to South and South East Australia....I took lots of pictures of them on the Adelaide River when I was there in 2003.......they are beautiful birds.
I am sure that Ossy Mills has at least one of them.(or at least,they used to have one)
I also saw them at Leeds Castle a few years ago

Re: Today in pictures
 

Last lot of churches today, from warmer climes - plus some prickly plants.

1 Siena cathedral at dusk
2 Church of St Honore, the patron saint of bakers, Amiens, France. Taken from the camper van window - we were looking for the cathedral but found this instead
3 Modern church bell tower, somewhere near Calais
4 St Colman's RC cathedral, Cobh, Ireland. On a hill, dominating the town
5 Cobh again, with palm trees - giving a theme for the next few pictures - palms and prickly things in pots... the rest are in Italy
6 Entrance to the University botanical gardens (1806), Urbino
7 Main square, Macerata
8 Osimo cathedral
9 Osimo, a road around the hilltop town, with great views
10 On the coast road, somewhere north of Pisa

Re: Today in pictures
 

Am a bit behind on this thread -just saw Dave's shots from yesterday's walk -you could compile a guide for funghi! They all have a really autumny flavour -my favourite season of the year -look forward to seeing some beautifully coloured trees, then fallen leaves and conkers soon!
Compliments to Kestrel for the wildlife shots especially the owls and the mandarin drake in number 3. I am rotten at taking live things -they move too quickly for me!

I know your bent is architecture Sue - all these churches - did you go inside any of them? I am not religious but love going inside churches for the art, history, the windows and general feeling of quiet. They are nice and cool in the summer too when it's burning hot outside here!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Last set of photos from my hols on Garda - all taken around the hotel and the village of Gargnano.
1-5 Hotel and gardens
6 Shrine in Villa di Gargnano
7 Port in Villa di Gargnano
8 Yacht on Garda -taken from terrace of San Tommaso
9 Villa Feltrinelli taken from beach in Gargnano
10 Me -the only photo from this holiday!

Villa Feltrinelli is where Mussolini and his family lived from '43-45 during the Republic of Salò. His lover, 30yrs his junior, Claretta Petacchi was installed in Villa Flaminia in Gardone Riviera just down the lake -they were eventually assasinated together while trying to escape the country. Palazzo Feltrinelli in the center of Gargnano was where the "puppet" government met -it now belongs to the Uni. of Milan and is used for conferences. The Hotel where I stayed was also requisitioned and housed some of Mussolini's ministers.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Abroad, no, normally we don't have time to linger as we only have a short time in any place. Also they are usually Catholic and Richard hates all the candles and altars etc so I sometimes go in my own if there's something interesting. And as you say the coolness is nice.

In this country, yes we do normally go inside and look at it, from an archaelogical point of view if you like as we share that interest and met on an archaeological site. We like to see how a building evolved and developed. Intensely practical and not very spiritual if at all - that's us! We also like churchyards.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm not religious, but I do like going into churches. I love the architecture, but I can't explain quite why.
I once went into Canterbury Cathedral and there was a service in progress with a choir, it moved me to tears.....it was really beautiful how the voices soared.
I love the old wood, and the stones inside churches too.
I don't mind the candles. Ma usually gets me to light one for Pa and anyone else she thinks might benefit from being 'thought about'.

By the way,Both of you should be commended for your lovely pics. I really enjoyed browsing them

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks, Margaret.

I also love the acoustics in cathedrals -the sound you get there is unique and they were built deliberately to enhance the feeling of being close to God - the voices soaring upwards and also your eye drawn up towards heaven. My two favourites are York cathedral and Chatres in France which has the best stained glass I've ever seen.

Cremona cathedral has some brilliant stone carving from the 1400's -amazingly detailed and delicate -i sometimes wonder if we "modern" humans would ever be capable of building something similar using the materials and equipment they had back then...I somehow doubt it!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have been to this town in Devon Dawlish Waterfowl. The Black Swans are one its major attractions, being on the river in the center of town.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you, Margaret and compliment reciprocated!

I do sometimes light a candle but I find it has less meaning as I get older. And Richard has not a spiritual bone in his body. He's very practical - but also probably the least streetwise person I know. Lives in his own little world which I find it hard to penetrate sometimes!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I've never heard of a peccadillo on a tree - pic 4 post 2352 - what on earth are they?

Re: Today in pictures
 

They are originally from Australia/ New Zealand, but have been bred for use in wildfowl collections and are now building up a feral population as some are free flyers.

They have a cruel streak as this video shows, one drowning a duck...

Went to Brighton last Saturday to see my favourite singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. Got there early. The weather was fantastic. Walked in the sun form Hove to Brighton. Had quite a bit to drink and took some photos :)

5: My camera was dangerously close to getting wet :)

9: Who's that ugly mug standing there in my attempt of a scenic shot? :p

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice shots there:)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely set of pictures today, a visit to churches on foreign shores shows the care in construction, the Italy shots make me want to paddle around with my knotted hankie on. Rob you are showing a change in your composition, the pebbles and sea shots are very good, the water shape in number 6 makes you hear the sea on pebbles.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks :)

Actually. I took my Tascam DR-07mkII with me to record the gig. I had it with me when I went to the beach. Actually made a lil recording of the waves

Re: Today in pictures
 

Good shots - 3 and 5 stand out for me! ;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, a rushed affair.

1. It was a bit windy last night, I think they lost a tent.
2. If you are interested there will be a canal weekend at the wharf ( sea cadets side ) from 10 till 4 Sat. & Sun.
3. Look at me fungi boy, ( well pensioner really ) strikes again.
4. I can't pass a fungi without dropping to my knees and taking a snap, I'm banned from Asda, people kept tripping over me.
5. Well, its a weevil walking on a wall.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its not on flickr, will it be?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Told you before, there's not much room in the mushroom aisle!

Re: Today in pictures
 

but I am a fungi, I know its 20 years old, but its all I've got

Re: Today in pictures
 

Rob...it has to be number 1 for me. Love that shot!

Re: Today in pictures
 

can you upload sound recordings on flickr?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I think I got hold of the wrong end of the stick, you meant sound recording, I thought video, I should have read it correctly

Re: Today in pictures
 

hehe no prob. I could put the sound to the picture and put it on youtube? :D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Hi Di, is that avatar pic you when you was a youngster? Nice selection of sunny photos there.

Now you asked about the tawny owl photo - the bird was quite easy to see as it's young were sitting in the open and it was flying around a bit even though it was broad daylight, if you look at it's beak closely you'll see it has a mouse in it - also there were no leaves on the tree as they breed quite early on before the leaves get growing properly. ;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes. since you insist .That is me aged 21...half a life-time ago...+!

Am envious of your wild-life shots -for me they are aways too quick and in movement!

Re: Today in pictures
 

You look a bit like Kate Humble the Wildlife presenter ;) but I thought the photo looks like you are about 13.

You have to spend time with the wildlife to get good shots - don't expect to walk up and get good shots - it takes a bit of patience also to know what your looking for.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I still look much younger than my years -it is becoming quite a blessing as I age -I am thinking of starting to go backwards with my birthdays that way i'll eventually look my age!;):D

Very autumny feel again to these photos - wonder if any of the mushrooms were edible -nice with rump steak!;)

That is some bull by the way!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice selection - are you sure that's a rook? As photo is only small and from that angle it's hard to tell - but as you have the original - if it's much bigger, it may be more evident!:rolleyes:

Re: Today in pictures
 

The field at the rear of the cottage we were renting had at least 40 young mixed sex cattle .We were informed that they were about 2 months old and Daddy was in the opposite field

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some towers today...

1 Old Town Hall, Cobh, Ireland. Up for sale when this was taken in 2007, now a Chinese restaurant
2 Concrete tower, Harwich harbour - no idea of its function, if any...
3 Perch Rock lighthouse, New Brighton, during the Tall Ships Race from Liverpool, 2008
4 Arts Tower, Sheffield University, built 1966, listed grade II*. The tallest university building in the country, with one of the few surviving paternoster lifts. When first built the entrance was across a pool with fountains - this had to be filled in because the winds around the base of the tower meant people got soaked going in
Paternoster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
5 and 6 Balkerne water tower, Colchester, opened 1883, taken out of use 1987. Over a million bricks were used in its construction. Nicknamed Jumbo after the circus elephant of the time and because it took as long to build as the gestation of an elephant. Its future is uncertain
7 Water tower, Bleriot-Plage near Calais

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice new theme.

I once went in one of those paternoster lifts at Exssex Uni.(was there for an interview) -not my thing at all made me quite anxious!:eek::D

Might be the reason I decided not to take the research post they offered me!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Something going on at the sea cadet place

oooo who let him out to play with the horses

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes they were pretty scary - fortunately I didn't have to go in the one at Sheffield too often, worked in a different building.

Funny how odd little things can put us off a course of action and send our life in a whole new direction!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some nice pics susie :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Likewise Rob, and thanks, but don't get too friendly with those horses - you don't want to get your name in the papers...;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Dave mac mentioned the old Martholme viaduct last week and I said I had one of two "happy snappy photos" taken when I was on the farm.

I couldn't find any actually taken of the path on the viaduct but did find one taken looking down from it at the house at the end Martholme lane plus one or two others of the track on the farm land and views from it.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice selection there, well done.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice buildings there, thats a cracking water tower on the last piccy.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, Huncoat stocks to Childers Green and round Castle Clough.

I. On Burnley Lane looking over to Hapton Quarry.
2. Not much to photograph in Childers Green, its a bit muddy, did find a bit of resin coming out of a dying tree, did look at it, but no dinosaur trapped inside.
3. Out of Childers Green at the ford, and across to Castle Clough.
4. Walking the top path.
5. Furthest point, the waterfall.
6. A spider, having a bit of dinner.
7. Taking the bottom path back to the road.
8. Couldnt walk past.
9.This is whats left of the footpath.
10. A quick look at the stream just past the ford on the way back to the car.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Where is Childers Green ,Dave?

Re: Today in pictures
 

That resin could be a piece of jewellery.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It sounds more exotic than it really is, if you go down Burnley Lane, Huncoat, to the ford, past the mill hill picnic site Its the area on the right of the road. Not a recommended area to see.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I like the resin picture....lovely colour.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its still at the sticky stage, It has to rest for about 3000 years, so have made a note in my diary to re-check then.
