A black and white woodcut littered with skeletons in various poses. The title is Death In London and Sholto Percy is given as the author (although I believe this was a pseudonym.

An 1820s plate for a proposed book to be called 'Death In London' that was never in fact published. Superbly #gothic in itself, I bet the book would have been wonderfully gruesome. Pre-Victorian but may still be of interest to @chriswoodyard.bsky.social

A colour photo of a bright red phone box at one end of a small urban green square, standing between a red "no entry" street sign and a black street lamp, against a backdrop of trees and blue sky.

A man stands at the front of a canal boat and stares at the camera, eyes burning through the back of your head. The canal boat glides along the Union canal in Edinburgh, past flowers and a pole on the near bank, with blocks of flats, grey cloudy Scottish sky and trees in the other side

You looking at me? 🫣

Photo of the Day - Welton.

Good morning or good evening

Wishing you a world of wonder...

Growing up in Scotland tomatoes were hard round tasteless balls but living in SW France I’ve found variety and tastiness straight out of the garden and onto the plate. Delicious A drizzle of olive oil and a few basil leaves freshly picked #photography #food #potager

Darkness in the foreground and above the distant horizon is a clear, yet golden glow. Nature at its finest over Marseille.

This brief day, the midpoint of sorrow
Shudders beneath the weight of loss

A peaceful dirt trail cuts through a dense, green forest filled with tall, moss-draped trees and thick undergrowth. Ferns blanket the forest floor, while vibrant green leaves form a canopy overhead, filtering the daylight into soft, diffused light. The path gently curves ahead, inviting the viewer deeper into the tranquil woodland scene.

A lush forest trail winds through tall trees covered in moss and ferns.

A shot of a fire escape and its counter weight. It’s a tight almost claustrophobic view.

My Awe and Wonder, on yesterday's hike at The Quirang, Isle of Skye, Scotland. The most spectacular views!

#SensoryArt #Emotion #EastCoastKin #Photography #Scotland #IsleOfSkye

The remains of the south west turret of Aesica Roman Fort (Great Chesters) on Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland. The fort was built in around AD 128, the ninth fort built along the line of the Wall. 📸 My own. #AdoorableThursday #RomanBritain #HadriansWall #Northumberland

The Mull of Galloway. The image shows a lighthouse just left of the centre of the frame with single-storey white buildings beyond it to the left and right and a low white wall completing a rectangular enclosure this side of it. There is rough ground this side of it and the sea can be glimpsed in the background. The sky is blue.

Due west of the English Lake District, the Mull of Galloway is Scotland's most southerly point. The viewpoint indicator shows that on a clear day you can see mountains in England, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Wales from here. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Looking for a walk #Exmoor ? Try Dunkery Beacon, the highest point. A lovely walk with distant views. On a clear day, you can see Dartmoor, the Quantock Hills, the Welsh coast across the Bristol Channel and other Exmoor Peaks such as Selworthy Beacon. See www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/Some...

The patio of the Alcázar, three parts of the building are visible, a lot of arches covered by ornaments, small columns, bigger arches, a second floor with more arches and some doors, small citrus trees in two parallel rows, in the same parallel row a rectangular pool with gree water, ceilings framing the whole garden, on some of them plants in flowerpots.

1001 nights in Sevilla, Alcázar. Like in a dream. #PalacesandGardens #Stressbreak #SchönesgegenDoofes

Most visitors to the #YorkshireDales know of the Strid at Bolton Abbey but how many know there another Strid - Ghaistrill's, near Threshfield. This circular route visits it plus Conistone village. Details at www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/York...

This photo by Jack Greenwood shows a gap between shops on the High Street in Sherborne with a church in the background. On the left is the Sherborne barber shop with a yellow plastic barrier outside. On the night is some kind of church community shop. People mill about.
