Folly on the Hill

29 Jun 2022 60 74 429
Taken at Oban, Argyll, Scotland. I love the light and the colours reflected in the water. In a prominent position above Oban stands McCaig's Tower, a folly on Battery Hill which the banker John Stuart McCaig had built as a monument to his family and also to provide work for local stonemasons. It is made from Bonawe granite sourced from Aird's Bay, Loch Ewe. I have added 'Fool on the Hill' by the Beatles as a link www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b-MItE_D5U

06 Nov 2019 66 60 838
St Etheldreda's Church, also known as St Audries, West Quantoxhead, Somerset. The church was built between 1854 and 1856 on the site of a previous, smaller church which was demolished in 1853. It was designed by John Norton and is a Grade II listed building. It was constructed using local sandstone. The octagonal font, made of polished marble, dates from the 12th century and came from the original church. I have added 'Audrey's Song' by Harry Hookey as a link www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tDAHJQT7B4 Best viewed large - plese press 'z'. Thank you

Tobermory, Isle of Mull. Tobermory was the location for the children's tv show Balamory which was screened between 2002-2005, and the brightly painted buildings look as fresh today as they did back then. I have chosen 'New Coat of Paint' by Joe Bonamassa as the link www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYcmWNp5Sus

Rock Pools and Fossils

18 Aug 2016 65 80 1291
Kilve, Somerset Kilve beach is part of the Blue Anchor to Lilstock site of Special Scientific Interest, and is a good place to find fossils or to go rock-pooling. On the shore a Saint Keyne serpent can be seen, which a local legend says is a snake turned to stone, but is in reality an ammonite. Along this coast the cliffs are layered with compressed strata of oil-bearing shale and blue, yellow and brown lias embedded with fossils. (Wikipedia) I loved all the patterns and have linked this with a song by The Last Shadow Puppets called 'Pattern' www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh3T9caG6G4 Sight and Sound
