Number 3 of a series on Lancaster’s Williamson Park. / This mighty memorial that Lord Ashton had built in memory of his wife stands proud above the city of Lancaster and is all that many people will see of the city as they whizz up and down the M6. / It is built in the grounds of the beautiful Williamson Park (which was originally the quarry for building stone in Lancaster) from the fortune Lord Ashton made from linoleum. The views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District and even the Isle of Man on a good day are superb and the grounds also hold a tropical butterfly house, mini-beast cave and a fine waterfall, lake and woods. / They hold (very popular) open-air plays on the summer using the natural landscape of the park for the various scenes. / Anyway, if you want more here’s the Park’s web page Thanks for looking, / Richard
Number 8 of a series on Lancaster’s Williamson Park. / Autumnal scene of the lake and fountain in the grounds of the beautiful Williamson Park in Lancaster. The lake had fallen into a state of disrepair but has been refurbished recently and, with the fountain and the large waterfall (tumbling down the old quarry rock face) in the summer, is a real feature of the park. The park itself was built with money from James Williamson Snr, the landscaping largely determined by the fact that this was where building stone was quarried for Lancaster. This has made the park an unusually interesting place to wander from the wide open grass lawns to the quiet glades and fern-clad dells. In the autumn season, the park is spectacular. / The views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District and even the Isle of Man on a good day are superb and the grounds also hold a tropical butterfly house, mini-beast cave, a fine waterfall, lake and woods as well as the magnificent Ashton Memorial, built by James Williamson at the beginning of the 20th century. / They hold (very popular) open-air plays on the summer using the natural landscape of the park for the various scenes. / Anyway, if you want more here’s the Park’s web page Thanks for looking, / Richard

/ Statue of Sir Walter Watson Hughes, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA / The memorial commemorates the life of Sir Walter Watson Hughes, a noted South Australian benefactor. Hughes made significant contributions to the economic development of the state, his foresight leading to the discovery of the Wallaroo mines. He also supported major cultural and educational activities, including the University of Adelaide. The statue is the only known example in South Australia of the work of noted English sculptor Francis Williamson. The town of Moonta on the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia was the place that in 1861, Paddy Ryan found copper traces coming out of a wombats burrow.

The Alabama Hills in California’s Owen’s Valley shows great cloud patterns and unique rocks leading up to Mount Williamson in the Sierra Nevada range. The Alabama hills is located west of Lone Pine, California where many motion pictures have been shot. Alabama Hills is basically a series of hills with rounded countours that wind their way up to the Sierra Nevada mountains like Mt. Whitney and Mt. Williamson. This place is filled with trails and jumbo rocks and is a lot of fun to explore. The rocks are metamorphosed volcanic rock and granite. On your way up to Bishop and Mammoth this is truly a place you want to check out!

The Ashton Memorial is Lancaster’s most famous landmark and indeed is all most people experience of this city as they whizz past on the M6! / As with the Victoria monument in the city centre, this huge edifice was built with money from Lord Ashton who made his money with oil cloth and linoleum. It was built as a memorial to his late wife within the grounds of Williamson Park (named after its founder and Lord Ashton’s father), designed by John Belcher and commenced in 1906. / A decade or so it underwent a large restoration project and is now a worthy landmark, exhibition space and wedding venue on the outskirts of the city. This picture was taken on one of the very few days of the year when the sun sets at just the right place!! Thanks for taking a peep. / Richard Tech detls / Nikon D200 / Nikon 80-400mm@400mm / 1/125s f5.6 / ISO200
You’ve possibly seen my Mouth of Powlett River photo which is the northern extremity of the 2km exclusion zone around the desalination plant that the Brumby government is imposing on the Bass Coast, this photo was taken at Williamson’s Beach, the southern extremity – too lovely not to be allowed to be used by Joe public… On another note… has this photo been “tweaked” too much? I hope it still looks natural but wanted to emphasise the silhouette
The Ashton Memorial is a folly in Williamson Park, Lancaster, England built between 1907 and 1909 by millionaire industrialist Baron Ashton in memory of his second wife, Jessy. At around 100 feet tall, it dominates the Lancaster skyline and is visible for many miles around. It also offers spectacular views of the surrounding area including Morecambe Bay. The building is in the Edwardian Baroque style and was designed by John Belcher. Its distinctive shape has led to it being known as “the jelly mould” and the “Taj Mahal of the North” but simply as “the structure” by local people. Nikon D80 – Nikkor 18-105mm VR lens – ND4 grad

A beautiful view from Lancaster’s Williamson Park, across Morecambe Bay to the Southern edge of the English Lake District. / / Although beautiful, Morecambe Bay can be a very dangerous place when the tide is out and people attempt to walk across it to Grange-over-Sands. There is an official guide, Cedric Robinson, who has been leading the walks since 1963 and is the 25th appointed Queen’s Guide to the Sands. The first appointment was in 1536, and is still made by the Duchy of Lancaster. / / HDR: Single shot + 2 copies in Paintshop Pro.

Taken with a Canon 50D, Tamron 90mm lens, F8, shutter speed 1/100 second ISO1000, edited in Photoshop I paid a visit to the wonderful butterfly house in Williamson Park in Lancaster today, a bit too much noise in the shot for my liking because I had to use a high ISO because as usual it was a gloomy, wet summers day in Blighty!! The butterfly house in Williamson Park have live exotic butterflies fluttering and feeding amidst the flowers, trees and vines in the tropical rain forest housed in the former Palm House. Walk amongst some of the world’s most beautiful species, including brilliant swallowtails, and cleverly camouflaged Owl butterflies within a natural habitat. The pupae of new butterflies can be seen in a special display case and you may even see a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis! In the stream that flows around the forest you will also find a variety of lively fish. Please view large
