View across a park towards a large three-storey residential building with two rows of windows visible above its garden fence. The lower of the two rows is reflecting an orange sunset. The sky beyond is a faint purple colour.

Reflected sunset.

View from a wooden platform across a smallish body of water with trees at the far side. It is a sunny day with faint vapour trails across a blue sky. The sky and the trees are reflected in the water. There is a rail at the side of the platform and it is casting shadows .

Holly Blue butterfly on a branch of cotoneaster against a dark green background.

I'm late to #ButterflyWeek but here's a female Holly Blue from yesterday.

Definitely!

Ha! Yes. I hadn't come across that before.

😆 Ah, I miss the countryside

Don't mind me, I'll just be here in the suburbs radiating envy

Oh, fantastic! Thank you. Yes, I think so. We came across it on an open garden day and spent a happy afternoon walking round people's gardens but I never kept a proper record of where we'd been...

A view of part of a wall of a ruined ecclesiastical building on a village green, with two leaning gravestones in front of it. An old house with red and white front is sitting in the background. There is bright sunlight and dark cloud.

Mystery location, East Sussex. (It was fifteen years ago and I can't remember where I took it.)

A view down the body of a ruined chapel toards the altar, the half-demolished walls surrounded by a high grass bank with a low wooden fence above and rainclouds in the sky.

Ruined chapel at Castle Rising, Norfolk.

A view past a large metal cupboard (for utilities of some sort), over a low metal safety barrier with a wildflower against it, across a road, to some short grass, the end of a hedge and some trees in bright sunlight.

Across the bypass.

The top corner of a yellow-brick house with a dormer window in its slate roof; the sky is grey and the sharply delineated edge of a dark raincloud is overhead.

Cloud edge.

A suburban street corner with modern yellow-brick slate-roofed houses with white uPVC windows. One house, half-visible, faces the camera; another is diagonally positioned behind it and partially in its shadow. There is light grey cloud in the sky with a hint of blue.

Beresford Road, Ely.

😊

Definitely.

Glorious. The light in this is really something else.

I'm sure I've seen them written like that in ms, though I'm not near anything to check

Currants, aren't they? As in raisins of Corinth?

🙏 That's a lovely thing to say. Thank you.

😂

You can tell it's Friday. I spent several seconds trying to read that top to bottom 🤦‍♂️

A view across a courtyard towards the far corner of its enclosing building, a very old two-storey stone affair with a lichen-covered roof and walls wreathed in a climbing plant. In the foreground is a green-tinged stone griffin catching the autumn sunlight.

Askham Hall, Cumbria.

I love that sort of thing. There's a rural-looking path/lane near here I take pictures of through the year. I struggle more with the houses as they're all so new and crisp-edged with the same shadows falling on them I can end up with exact duplicates quite easily and get frustrated.

A view through a narrow gap between stone buildings (the one on the left, the old UL, in gothic style with an oriel window; on the right is the corner of Trinity Hall) to Clare College's stone front illuminated by the sun. There are bikes locked to lampposts in the foreground and the sky is heavy grey.

The old University Library and Clare College, Cambridge.

Thank you! I was very struck by this. (I'm largely stuck in Ely at the moment and rarely get time to go out and take pictures, so it's a relief to come across things to photograph given that I've walked through these places a hundred times.)

Thank you! 😊

The side wall of an old brick house, painted in a greenish blue (or bluish green) and with the shadow of a tree's branches across it. A long television aerial sticks straight up from its chimney.

House wall, Ely.

I like rain, but my son walking home from school wouldn't have been impressed 😂

Thank you! It was really something to see it in that weather.

Ah, we miss all the fun weather here. Got a light shower for a few minutes and the sun's back out 🤷‍♂️
