Re: Picture(s) of the day....
I didnt think we had any of these bottle kiln things in Northumberland. Fairly commonplace in the Potteries.

But apparently there are a pair of them and a Chimney at Corbridge
There's a gallery on geograph of such things Page 1 covers basically "the Potteries" plus a singleton from Norfolk. Page 2 covers the rest of the UK.....is there one near you that you maybe like me never noticed it was there

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
More huge kites
A bit too far away with standard lens.
I spotted it when I was much closer, heading out for a walk, but the camera wouldn't work - I had left it switched on
Then realised it turns itself off after five minutes.
Got those on the way home but too knackered to get any closer.
It is a huge octopus, quite brightly coloured

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Whilst out and about today, came across this. It's either located in what was the second worst - or second best - place to be in the UK in the event of World War 3

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Just to extract the maximum possible amusement from your POTD submission Bobins, I turned it into a wheresthisthen? And have failed.
With the reference to worst/best places to be in the event of ww3..thought this may help but no...

Well - it ain't in West Sussex ! It's a bit north west from here. It'd have been very VERY high* on the list of primary targets Most of it has now been returned to common land though.
* High, but not the highest

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Oh No!
Its happened and I've only just had it realised it. I know I have been photographing bricks and postboxes recently, so I may just have joined "The dull men's club" without knowing it.....they even have T-shirts

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
To mark heading into the 7,000's as far as locomotive pictures go we are in Hymek territory Class 35.
Now if Jim logs in and views this POTD he will be well pleased. Wiki has nicely provided an image of a West Country Trio. Along with the Hymek D7018, we have a Warship and a Western
LOvely stuff, if like me you like a drop of railway nostalgia

Jim's been in the Resistor drawer again, judging by those colours.
