I was looking around the garden and noticed this interesting #Beetle on the #AppleTree. It was about the size of a #Ladybird but #IridescentBlue. I went back inside, changed the the #Lens to a #MacroLens and it was still there and so I was able to #Photograph it.

Yesterday #morning, the #Predawn #sky on the #EasternHorizon was very colourful and so I took these #photographs, with prominent #Pink, #Orange and a bit of #Grey in front of the #Blue. The #silhouettes of #trees and #buildings adds some dark contrast to the #foreground.

The #station is preserved as if it were still in the 1950s, including the #signalling but it still has a few #trains which service it.

On the approach, thereβs an old #TelephoneBox and if you look inside, there are just pictures of an old telephone and directories as they once might have looked.

The main #RailwayStation is #Totnes is on the main line from #London #Paddington to #Penzance. Thereβs also a minor connecting line which has a much smaller station, which is sort of like a #museum. You can get to it via a #footbridge.

What do you call this? A #flotilla? An #armada? Or simply a #QuackSquadran of #Ducks? This group of three adult males, one adult females and a dozen #ducklings was making its way happily along the #river.

Looking at the underside of the #SteelBridge, we can see that the four longitudinal #breams and braced with trusses. This is to prevent a type of instability tow which slender #structures can be susceptible. Itβs called #LateralTorsionalBuckling or #LTB for short.

A bit further upstream there is a more modern #steel #ContinuousBeamBridge, which has a #concrete deck. This is obviously a twentieth century construction as steel only became a viable structural #material as the #technology improved enough to provide cheaply and reliably made.

We went for a short visit to to #Totnes, which is a small rural town in #Devon. Itβs only about half an hour by #train. It is on the #RiverDart, which shares its name with places like #Dartmoor and #Dartmouth. Thereβs a nice walk along the #Dart and here can see an old #masonry #arch #bridge which connects the town to the other side.
