One day I went out to take some photos. It was a day when you wouldn’t get any other photographers out. You see, the weather was too bad, the light was crap - if you believe that, then you will never see the world as it really is. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #BandW #Ireland

@s_chaussee very muddled records with minimal information, takes about triple the time to do anything as you need to cross check with all the other qgis related layers for duplicates and with archwilio to figure out what some of them are in the first place.

Castle Hill, Huddersfield. Iron Age Brigantine hillfort, Norman castle, medieval village and a Victorian tower.

It is home to numerous legends. The devil is said to have made a great leap here from Netherton Scar. A dragon guards its hoard in the hill and a golden cradle is reputed to be hidden in the ditches.

Camulodunum to the Romans. Wormcliffe in the early medieval period. Dark deeds were committed in the dungeon of the castle.

For #StandingStoneSunday, the Swinside Stone Circle, aka Sunkenkirk Circle, legend is that an attempted church build here failed - Devil kept pulling it down. Not sure of that but the cows were keeping clear (I’m in the center). From a ‘93 trip with a friend, wandering in pursuit of stone circles and Neolithic sites, this was pre-Internet & pre in-car GPS so a bit of a fun challenge for a couple of wayward Americans, in addition to remembering to keep on the left.
