Nice one Adam. All these drone shots of Britain's ancient sites from 1,200 feet (guess) are a real bonus of the 2020s. * 'Long Meg and her Daughters', Cumbria, England

The reasons people voted to leave the EU in 2016, are even stronger reasons to stay out of the EU and its many tentacles of control in 2026. Those who campaign to rejoin want to ignore this. To obscure and deny it. But the facts are there for all to see. They will lose. Again.

The remains of the medieval gatehouse of St. Benet’s Abbey on the Norfolk Broads - the only Norfolk monastery founded in the Anglo-Saxon period which continued in use throughout the Middle Ages. A windmill was built onto the gatehouse during the C18th. 📸 My own #MedievalMonday

Train the craftspeople. Teach the machines. Open the quarries. Bring Beauty Back
Bath stone has been quarried continuously since the Romans The quarry is still open The stone that built the Royal Crescent and the Circus is still coming out of the ground The bottleneck is not the material It is the number of people who can cut it to the profiles that made those buildings That is what @Gondor_Ind is solving

One of those rare photos that makes you stop in your tracks and whisper, "Wow..." "Lochaber at Night" - wintery scene of Loch Linnhe, Caol Shore and Ben Nevis, taken from Corpach Pier by Mark Gillies.
