Earthwatcher's photos with the keyword: Guessed by Dru Marland

A rather unusual GWUK. This photo was taken in 1938 or early 1939. Not by me I hasten to add! But it was scanned from a print loaned to me by my father. The aircraft is a Stinson 'Reliant'; the young man standing in front of it is Ron Bird, a friend of my father.

Originanally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group. A rather old photo taken with an early digital camera, hence rather poor resolution. This is the Skipsea Withow Mere and the location is the Withow Gap on the Holderness coast in East Yorkshire. The rapidly eroding low cliffs have cut a section through the Withow Mere which is a former (post glacial) lake formed in an ice-hollow on the till ('boulder clay') surface. The lake became filled with both drifted and in-situ vegetation which accounts for the peat we see today. The grey pebbly deposit in the foreground is the Skipsea Till, a 'boulder clay' of debris bulldozed by the Devensian ice. Were it not for the glacial till, the area of Holderness would not exist and would be completely under the sea. The Skipsea Withow Mere is a SSSI.

Originally posted for the Guesswhere UK group on a certain date. This is the notorious bridge in the village of Brigadoon, Scotland. American tourists are advised to be very aware of the dangers involved in attempting to cross the bridge. Like the village, the bridge is visible (as in this photo) only on one night every hundred years and during that time no American should cross the bridge to the village otherwise they will be trapped in the village until the next apparition.
