The Badlands of Lincolnshire

 

Lincolnshire, England, has generally been portrayed as a flat, boring featureless park of these septic isles. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Just outside Spalding is "England's Grand Canyon", a 34 mile stretch of the River Tiddle, carving it's route through the sandstone hills of The Kersal Massive".

This slide shows Mt Monty Nodule, at one of the viewing platforms.

Just the Badlands

 There a lot of things about the US of A that make me think "Nope.  Ain't gonna go to USA for that."

However, the Badlands of (Montana??) looks like an environment worth a visit.

They really do look like they're a billion years old, and that the efforts of men to change them will be ignored, like a human attached by a ladybird.

Also, had a bit of a play and knocked up a windows background of that image.

Bonus - Yesterday, I spent the evening watching Half Man, Half Biscuit.  Excellent night guys !

Grand Canyon-esque


 I can't be certain that this is actually The Grand Canyon, but it does have that Ooh Aah vibe to it. Also, a nicely faded slide.

Bonus - One of my own photos - a Foggy Day in South Derbyshire.

At Lovers Leap

 


Many parts of the world have "Lovers Leap" features. Either, where tragic lovers leapt to ensure that they would be together...forever,  or  where lovers leapt to escape from approaching parents / lawmen meaning they could make a new life far away.

This one is different. Harold (shown here) and Maude planned to leap together (type one), only for Harold to prank her, and not leap. He returned to Wyoming to marry Ethel, Maude's sister.

Bonus - The "Oxymoron Museum".

A Trip To The Badlands


This Ektachrome slide has rather deteriorated with time, and the colours are now a little "off".

So, I was going to spend a few minutes correcting the hues, saturation and tints...but... I actually like the image as it is. You may disagree, but this is my blog.

Badlands


Impressive geology.

No info on the slide, and it's not jogging any memories from me, so I'll just label it as Badlands.
