We were up on the Parkway yesterday.

Note:  Adriaan and I have found an option and have made a slight change to the way pictures are displayed.  Let us know what you think.

One would hope for some peace in a crypt. 🤔😄

Ironically, or perhaps coincidentally, the subject of my history podcast this past week was the disturbed tomb of England's King Edward IV and his Queen, Elizabeth Woodville. The tale is absolutely horrific, bordering on desecration. They don't allow photography inside St. George's at Windsor now, though you can tour the Chapel. If I ever were to travel again, definitely on my list, as well as White Tower.

Thanks for the link; started me down a long rabbit hole.

Atmospheric optics are fun! This is a circumhorizon arc. So pretty - and so fleeting.

Amazing!

Thank you, RV & Mica; those pix are a nice antidote to a solid week of rain-drenched corn fields......
