That makes me feel a bit better! 😂😂😂

That might explain why I had so much trouble fitting it back together after going through. I thought it was just me being dopey. 🤣 Yeah, Mount Famine is very pleasing, both to look at and to walk over. 😊

I was on a mission to get as many stile pics as possible for @lakesstiles.bsky.social on my trip so I was very focussed on just that one feature... 😂 I think the liftable gate is a fairly new addition (well, since we moved here). I used to walk that path regularly back in the day. 🤔

I'm afraid my version is a bit "glass half empty" compared to @susanshaped.bsky.social's positive take on the subject. 😂

I got a picture from the other side a couple of weeks ago... Another one from my recent trip, @lakesstiles.bsky.social 😄👍

A ramshackle looking wooden stile on the left, with a rotted step and wonky wooden fence bars. There is an equally wonky dog gate between the stile and a wooden gate post on the right. Surprisingly non-wonky wooden bars extend to the right of the frame from the gate post.

A dry stone wall in the background on the left and moorland on the right.

Today is the 90th anniversary of the 'Battle of Cable Street' when residents of Tower Hamlets in East London blocked roads to prevent the British Union of Fascists from marching through the area. #BattleOfCableStreet

It was great, we loved it too - fantastic views!

I can understand why. 👍 We didn't go onn the A5093 - we came in on the A595 and followed it round to the north. We parked in lay-by just south of Townend Hall and went up the path between White Stones and Throstlerake Crag.

They are! I'd wanted to visit it for years, so glad we got to do so before moving over here. It was a really enjoyable walk! 😊

Meant to say, I got hold of 'Les Troqueurs' & it's a delight - ta for the heads up! When I was cataloguing it, I realised I already have a couple of operas by Dauvergne - 'Hercule Mourant' & this very listenable gem, which I misremembered as being written by someone else (apologies M. Dauvergne!):

Screenshot shot of a Bluesky post, from July 2025, showing that I was listening to Dauvergne's opera "La Vénitienne'.

😄 It's strange because she never digs at home but at the beach she's obsessed with digging up rocks. She usually loses interest once she's done it but if it's one she can't get out of the sand she gets very worked up and starts whining. We have to distract her with something else. 🤣

Fun at the beach yesterday... 🌊 🐾

A broad expanse of sandy beach with grass-covered sand dunes in the background. A German Shepherd is caught mid-leap through the air, crossing the line between dry and still wet sand, which latter is reflecting her.

Ein klarer Fluss mit großen Steinen fließt durch eine grüne Parklandschaft. Im Hintergrund erstrecken sich hohe, bewaldete Berge unter einem Himmel mit weißen Wolken. Links überspannt eine steinerne Brücke mit Balustrade den Fluss. Rechts und im Mittelgrund stehen Bäume und Gebäude mit roten Dächern, darunter ein auffälliges Gebäude mit Türmchen. Im Vordergrund verläuft ein Geländer entlang eines Weges am Flussufer.

🪶 Rob has chosen #WingsOpenNotFlying as #BirdOfTheDay theme; birds with their wing open when not flying Alternative is #Blue, birds with blue in their plumage - I’ll go alt with a Blue Tit perched on a small branch in shade #birdphotography #ECK #birds #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #Stunday

A Blue Tit perched on a small, diagonal willow branch, which comes from the bottom right of the shot and ends in the upper left hand corner. The bird is right of centre of the shot, facing the camera with its head turned to the right so the right side of its head is shown.
The bird has a bright blue crown on its head, its cheeks are white with a black/blue border and eye stripe as well as a line under its short bill. Its underbelly is lemon yellow and its back is green with blue on the wings and tail. Its feet are a bluish grey.
The light on the bird is muted a bit but there is still a shadow of a small branch visible down the centre of the bird. There are three other, out of focus branches in the back ground in the top left, and two towards the bottom right. All follow the direction of the branch the bird is in, more or less.
The background is out of focus grass and vegetation, giving a green and white hue.

Calendula or Pot Marigold, a reliable producer of flowers through summer and well into autumn. And, thankfully, one that's mostly ignored by the many slugs and snails in our yard. 🐌 🌼 #BNWMacro #ClassicMono #B&W #Monochrome #Macro #MacroMonday #BloomScrolling #GardeningBluesky #ECK #EastCoastKin

Landscape oriented, 3:4 monochrome image.

Close up of a single Calendula bloom, with multiple pale petals emanating from a darker centre. The flower form is daisy-like. If the photo had been in colour the petals would be yellow. There are raindrops on the surface of the petals.

The background is out of focus but is mostly a dark mass of foliage against which the bright flower stands out.

An unopened Calendula bud and the edge of a wooden raised bed is visible on the left.

Through the woodland, along the path, the low sun sets in the distance, through the tree branches and leaves, beaming golden light on to everything. 3rd October 2026. Wales, UK.

Goodbye for now, Saturday... 👋😎🌄

Landscape oriented, 16:9 image.

Sky at sunset tonight. Bands of cloud and golden light above the horizon. More cloud scattered across the sky above this, similar in style to "mackerel sky", mixed with patches of pale blue.

The sky fills most of the frame but there is a dark line of trees and shrubs, silhouetted against it at the bottom of the frame.
