Some pics of Mulholland Drive might be interesting if your rambling takes you that way. That shot was taken from a little bluff near the Observatory. Getting to Mulholland is a little more difficult for me because I don't own a car. I love going to the Hollywood Bowl overlook but it's quite a steep hike.

What a beautiful area to visit and, as someone reminded me, a great place to grow up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerF Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Not exactly what was meant by the topic but...this CD is being released on Record Store Day 2016 (16 April) and for anyone who likes jazz rock in the Nucleus, Brian Augur or early Graham Collier vein then this is for them. The title of this was just too coincidental not to post. It's also available as two separate vinyl EPs entitled Cityscapes and Landscapes respectively. The music was inspired by the composer's reaction to his environments in the city and in a rural setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the horizontal lettering against the diagonal lines on the building and shadow work well (sorry...that's not meant to sound as faux-arty-farty as it does!). Good shot!

A Lark Ascending Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Near St. Martins-in-the-Fields, London - Edith Cavell Monument and the Coliseum - I especially planned for the pigeon shadow over Edith's head! April weather over the Thames Spring comes to Hatfield (before the North) House - where Elizabeth I spent her youth and learnt of her succession (though the big house in the first picture wasn't built until 1611).

This image was taken by the Hubble telescope to celebrate its 26th year in space Photograph: Hubble Heritage Team/ESA/NASA Now that's a landscape! Wow! (I wonder how large that bubble is?) Edit: I can answer my own question: The NY Times states that it is "more than 10 light-years across, and it is constantly growing. Its star, SAO 20575, spews stellar winds that inflate the cloud at a rate of 62,000 miles per hour." (And NASA reports that it's only 7100 light years away. Where did the extra 3900 light years come from? I sense a scandal here.) http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/hubble-sees-a-star-inflating-a-giant-bubblehttp://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/science/a-hubble-birthday-bubble-in-clear-view.html?hpw&rref=science&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0 Edited April 22, 2016 by alankin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Pouring with rain all day today but yesterday was spectacular weather wise: The hills 20 minutes from central Sheffield (traffic permitting). That lovely time of year where the leaves have just sprouted and are as green as possible. Famous Derbyshire 'pick your own' restaurant.

The reservoir is basically just there for the scenic beauty now, it hasn't been used as a primary water source for a long time. There are huge underground storage tanks north of the lake where the water is actually stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
