Carlisle cathedral ceiling
The ceiling within the cathedral at Carlisle is absolutely gorgeous. They even have a mirror mounted on a stand so you can look up by looking down. The centre boss here is a very lifelike representation of the Virgin Mary. Not shown here due to running out of width, if you study carefully there is just one star missing.

Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank
At around midnight on the 4th Feb 2023 a full moon reflects onto the dish of the Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell bank. Despite its size it can not receive satellite TV as its upper operating frequency is far below the lowest of satellite TV download. This is a composite of 2 images, both of which are mine.
Fly agaric square
The Fly Agaric - Amanita muscaria is often cited as being poisonous and whilst I am not recommending anyone tries it there is a long history of it being used as a hallucinogenic. Despite having this effect on humans many animals seem to eat it with little to no known effect other than curing hunger.

Atlantic Conveyor 40106
Originally built in 1960 this locomotive saw many years active running until 1983. Entering service as D306 it became re-branded as 40106 in the 1970s. It was bought for preservation and named as Atlantic Conveyor in honour of the ship of the same name that was lost in the Falklands conflict. It is also a bit of a movie star having been used as the loco in the film 'Buster' about the great train robbery.
Exchanging keys
When a single track running line there needs to be a way to prevent two trains meeting by accident. The simple system of a 'key' that effectively locked the points at the far end was the solution. When the train carrying the key for that section reaches the signal box it is handed over so the section of now clear track can be released. Here you see a key exchange, the train crew have handed over the key for the section just cleared (lower key) and collected the key for the next section. The large hoop made it easier to do this as it passed.
Fly agaric 2
