Stourhead is a 2,650 acre (11 km²) estate in south west Wiltshire at the source of the River Stour. The gardens were designed in the mid-18th century by the banker Henry Hoare II, who owned the estate. The lake was achieved by the construction of a dam accross the Stour. Since 1946 the estate has been owned by the National Trust and has been their second most visited property, behind Wakehurst, several years running.

The new(ish) pedestrian space outside the At-Bristol science museum on Bristol's harbourside. Ten years ago this was a car park, and before that it was a goods yard.

I love this view, even after passing it hundreds of times. It's taken from the cycleway. Behind the camera is the barbed wire fence of HP's labs and the university, with the MOD, shopping mall and ring-road beyond. To the right is Lockleaze School and Bristol's northern suburbs. To the left is the motorway and Bristol's north eastern suburbs. Just over the hill behind the transmitter is Tescos, Ikea and then Bristol city centre. But if you compose the photo right you can pretend none if it's there.

Just off Southampton Water / the Test Estuary. Eling appears to have had a little gentrification of the derelict industry to luxuary appartments variety, though in the background the container quay is still prospering.

Bristol High Cross

Large version - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 18 Dec 2006


"The High Cross stood for three centuries at the very centre of mediaeval Bristol on the crossroads formed by Corn Street, Wine Street, Broad Street and High Street. Commemorating Edward III's charter of 1373 granting county status to the town, it was brightly painted and decorated with four statues of mediaeval kings.

"In 1733 it was removed at the request of local residents, who found it a 'ruinous and superstitious relick' and public obstruction. For a few years it stood on College Green, but was once more removed when it was found to obstruct ladies and gentlemen walking on the green. It was then taken to the gardens at Stourhead in Wiltshire, where it had remained in safety and splendour without obstructing anyone ever since. A replica of the upper section of the Cross stands in the gardens of Berkeley Square, off Park Street."

(Bristol City Council's 1989 book of Bristol)

At the end of the cycleway to uni. I stopped to take a picture and along came my lecturer and identified it. Can't remember though. I have a mycology book downstairs so I should look it up. Update Feb 07: the book suggests shaggy ink cap, which sounds about right.

This was taken close to sunset in early November 2006, when the exotic collection of trees were displaying their autumn colours.
