It has been suggested that the original thank you cleveland design should be available with a nice chunky white outline so it can be purchased on a black t-shirt – the only colour any self respecting rock pig would be seen dead in. I’m kinda liking it on the new yellow too! Thanks to Kara for pointing this out!
The view on a miserable, cold, frosty, misty day across the River Stour from the bridge on Mill Lane by White Mill between Shapwick and Sturminster Marshall, Dorset, England. This narrow (about 9’ [3m]) bridge covers a rather wide span of the river. The span is increased at this point by an extra loop of river cut out to flow under the mill, which stands behind me. The build allowed for small recesses (see shot) in the road between each arch to let pedestrians stand aside from traffic. White Mill bridge is described as ‘the oldest and most beautiful in the county’. There are references to the building of a ‘Bridge on the River Stour adjacent to the White Mill’ in the year 1175. An investigation into the foundations showed that the bridge stands on timber pilings. These have been carbon dated to the 12th C. The original arches were rebuilt in the 16thC. The bridge, built principally of heathstone and Purbeck stone, possesses eight arches, and has undergone extensive repairs in the 20thC, although the original oak piles still remain in place. It has never been widened, this may well be the result of its being of a generous width for a medieval bridge in the first place.
An afternoon of shoot with a friend, we actually came to this beach, called marshall beach. Loved the view of the water and the bridge. A must go to spot for any photographer!! Hope you enjoy!!

There are references to the “Whitemill” (the building of ‘A Bridge on the River Stour adjacent to the White Mill) in the year 1175 and again in 1326. What is, perhaps, significant is that other places appear to have taken their names from Whitemill (Whitemill Farm, Whitemill Bridge) rather than the mill taking its name from the village. In 1326 we find a deed: “John Chyke to Peter le Boyt – all his tenements at Wytemull… together with part of his mill” which hints that the mill may once have been “Wytemull Mill”. It is possible that an earlier building on the site, presumably of timber framed construction, might have been limewashed. A more likely explanation ties in with the fact that a former chalk pit (now the car park) behind the mill, and that the west end of the building appears to stand on an artificial island made largely from chalk. So it wouldn’t just have been the mill that was white, the whole area would have been white from all the chalk. The mill was rebuilt in 1776 on much older foundations, on a site that is older still. The present mill worked under water power until 1866 when a severe winter flood breached the diversionary works in the river so severely that they were deemed beyond economic repair. By this time the miller was also the local baker so, rather than simply closing the mill, he converted one half of it to run from a portable steam engine in order to keep his bakehouse supplied with flour. Commercial milling however appears to have ended with the flood. With the retirement of the last miller, around the end of the Nineteenth century, the working life of the mill came to an end and the millstones came to rest. After the turn of the century, the tenancy changed hands a couple of times in quick succession and the building spent the next 85 years rotting away as little more than a farm shed. Whitemill, along with the rest of the Kingston Lacy estates, was bequeathed to the National Trust by Ralph Bankes in 1982, but it wasn’t until 1994 that the Trust found the resources (£300,000) to begin the painstaking conservation of the property. The body of the current mill is built of brick, but the Wheelchamber is of quality stone construction. This stonework dates, we are told, to sometime in the fourteenth century, around the period when the Duke of Lancaster held the manor as a grant from the King. It is clear that when it came to the 1776 re-build, the builders considered that the power-plant was good enough to retain even though the superstructure (probably timber framed) was ruined. This fourteenth century dating is reinforced by the discovery of timbers in the foundations, during the underpinning of the river end wall, which have been radio-carbon dated to the same era. It is probable that the current mill is simply the last in a long line of rebuilds on the same foundations.
This is the bridge at Sturminster Marshal in Dorset. / The river is the Stour, which rises in Wiltshire, and enters the sea at Christchurch/Mudeford. I am glad the horse riders were crossing the bridge, as it gives more of a country look, and adds scale to the picture. / I also added an extra layer and gave it a slight blur to give a sense of movement in the horses. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it.
Just something I decided to make out of boredom. No real deep purposeful meaning behind this one. Unless you of course find one, which I’d be happy to read. :)

PHOTO BY DEB Camera: SONY A900; F-Stop: f/11; Exposure: 1/640 sec.; ISO Speed: 200; Focal Length: 70mm. The first lighthouse erected at Marshall Point to help mariners entering Port Clyde’s harbor or passing to the west into Muscongus Bay was a 20-foot high rubble-stone tower, the first keeper, John Watts, lived in a stone dwelliing attached to the lighthouse tower, the extant brick and granite lighthouse was built at a cost of $5,000.00 in 1857, the original dwelling was replaced in 1895 after it was destroyed by a lightning caused fire, the light was automated in 1971 and for several years the Coast Guard maintained a LORAN (long range navigation) station in the keeper’s house, in 1980 the station was closed and the house was boarded up, in 1986 the St. george Historical Society undertook the restoration of the house, it was completed in 1990 with the first floor of the house now containing the Marshall Point Lighthouse Museum. Fascinating Fact This lighthouse might be familiar to you from it’s brief appearance in the movie Forrest Gump, or from the children’s book Nellie The Lighthouse Dog.

As well as dabbling in photography, I am also a closet muso. My little studio – Marshall JTM30, Maton EM225 “Paul Colman Special”, Ibanez RG440 Roadsta, Squier Strat and Crown CK-10 Keyboard. Hey, I don’t have that much of a budget, so something had to be compromised…
This fellow who has just been shot looked like a Marshall or Sherrif to me. After all, he is dressed in white, which always represents the good guys in old western movies! Stars were on his boots, but I never did see a badge. This picture was taken during a gun fight reenactment, during California Gold Rush Days, located in Old Town Sacramento, California.
