Ribblehead Viaduct by Richard Ion
The Ribblehead viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales has / 24 arches is104 ft high and 440 yards long. Now the scenic highlight of a trip on the famous Settle-Carlisle railway, it cost the lives of many of the 2,000 or so navvies (navigators) who built it over 4 years from 1870. / It’s easy to see from the road between Ingleton and Hawes but not so easy to photograph successfully unless you are fit enough and prepared to hike up across the moors and up a hill or three! / Still, if you get the right conditions, it can still look impressive enough and all the more so if you time your visit to catch one of the steam engines that make the journey to and from Carlisle (I never have!). / So, when passing by the other day in the fog and the setting sun, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands – lol. / Thanks for looking / Richard Tech detls: / Nikon D300 / Nikon 16-85mm @40mm / 1/500s f11 / ISO200 Location: / SD759753

Of silent hopes and power trading by clickinhistory
Whispered hopes of fear and desire, / fear and guilt and joy winged airs among the stone, / deep from earth, now holding the sky light, / pillars of tree, made now in stone. This is a view of part of the interior of the church of St Peter, better known the world over as York Minster. Though we see chairs here now, it used to be a vast open space, where people stood and when not in use for services, it would be used by local traders as a market mart, alongside the power struggles of local, national and international politics. If you are lucky enough, look out for this choir,The Sixteen here at the Minster or at one of their other venues and hear how these old builders built for sound as well as vision. Converted into black and white and best viewed large. Taken on the Redbubble meet with Lesley and Steve and Jason and Donna. Featured by the kind hosts of the Olympus and Four Thirds Group and the Yorkshire Grit Group
