Indeed. There is more of a focus on photography on Flickr. I suppose it's what you make of it, but Instagram certainly has a very different reputation.
Dodged along to the Stone Circle at Duddo on the way home today. Nice quiet walk from the car across three fields. Picked up a wee pal on the way - a small frog which Amelia carried all the way up and then we had tears when the frog wasnt allowed to come with us. Anyway, nice circle of standing stones on a hill. Light wasnt great but hope you like it.

I do. I can also relate to the story from back when I was a dad.Dodged along to the Stone Circle at Duddo on the way home today. Nice quiet walk from the car across three fields.

Glad you got some shutter time in whilst you were away. Back to work Monday here

Yep Monday morning looms large here too... Thx. I am surprised how much shutter time I got to be honest.
I've had a week off but my camera hasn't seen any action. Was planning this morning but it was chucking it down. I'm a fair weather photographer!

Causeway to Grain Tower by Hugh Russell, on Flickr
Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century gun tower situated offshore just east of Grain, Kent, standing in the mouth of the River Medway. It was built along the same lines as the Martello towers that were constructed along the British and Irish coastlines in the early 19th century and is the last-built example of a gun tower of this type. It owed its existence to the need to protect the important dockyards at Sheerness and Chatham from a perceived French naval threat during a period of tension in the 1850s.
Rapid improvements to artillery technology in the mid-19th century meant that the tower was effectively obsolete as soon as it had been completed. A proposal to turn it into a casemated fort was dropped for being too expensive. By the end of the 19th century the tower had gained a new significance as a defence against raids by fast torpedo boats. It was used in both the First and Second World Wars, when its fabric was substantially altered to support new quick-firing guns. It was decommissioned in 1956 and remains derelict today. The tower has been privately owned since 2005 and was reportedly sold to a new owner in 2014 for £400,000.
Cheers

Nice story and photo. Do you remember it being built?

New camera? Tell us more
I dared to walk near something like this once, except there was also water flowing down. Slipped, fell and chipped a damn tooth. Now this pic makes me wanna put on a helmet and hide in a blanket.
I'm sure there's places in that building where you could hide a young whipper snapper like you and nobody would ever find them - why don't you come with me next time I go?Nice story and photo. Do you remember it being built?
