Had a great time at last night's Evening Rambles artists workshop with #ScientificRambles - thanks to everyone who came and got involved. Also cheers to Iain for grabbing this little time lapse of some stone-drone action 🪨
A silhouetted rock formation at Stanage Edge against a vibrant orange and pink sunset.
Did you know the Peak District National Park is 75 today? To help celebrate, here is a great photo of a sunset at Stanage from their image archive. This shot is one of many thousands being catalogued by the #LandscapesUnlocked project. Will your favourite view be in the archive?

The new Akai MPC Sample looks great, but @muzines.bsky.social has come to the rescue today with some retrospective reading from 1986... www.muzines.co.uk/articles/aka...

A black and white pinhole photograph of daffodils in the woods, painted over with watercolours and now it looks like somewhere else entirely. Typed words at the bottom say “into these weird solitudes” which is maybe to legible so that might be removed.
Experimenting with hand-colouring pinhole photos with watercolours. I‘m terrible and impatient with painting, but it‘s turned the forest into something else and I quite like that.
Figured it! RHS Flower show 2017 😂
Trees have been there a long time and definitely surrounds them, I wondered if they might be from lots of marquees or something!
This is the area now, a few tufty bits of grass etc that might be features underneath?
Went to Tatton Park today and had a nice nosey - intrigued by these parchmarks however, can't find them on any old maps - newish or old? Sure someone here will know! No sign of them on the ground now...
Looks great! I'll try and make the next one!
The best kind!
I gave up putting things out on Fridays long ago, not that against Bandcamp Friday at all, it's still a great idea
Made my way up to the Pikestones earlier today, a chambered cairn up on the moors north of Bolton - it's been on my list for a while and didn't disappoint (though the information sign did) 🪨
A clip from 'Untitled Film'- part of 'The Wild Between', the latest #ScientificRambles exhibition at the Silk Museum in Macclesfield. The film is a short collection of processed Sony Handycam footage, shot around the #PeakDistrict in the last 6 months. 🪨

That was the first stone I scanned as well! Lots of character to it!
More wanderings coming up in the next MTN mailout, plus a free download and a link to stream the latest pieces created for our recent exhibition...

Collection of stones in the gardens of Hopton Hall - tried to find out about them but was met with confusion 🪨
I seem to have a lot of these and I'm not sure why, I've only ever needed one!
Thanks to everyone who came down for the launch of 'The Wild Between' last night at the Silk Museum, it was great to chat to everyone and share some thoughts and ideas. The exhibition runs until the 16th May, Wednesday to Saturday. #ScientificRambles
'The Wild Between' opens this Saturday at the Silk Museum in Macclesfield - with work by Iain Davidson, Ailsa Holland, Becca Smith and myself. 🪨 www.thesilkmuseum.co.uk/whats-on

Great thanks Chris, intriguing!
Loving the 'Web Rewind' created by @operabrowser.bsky.social today! Nice to have something genuinely fun to do after a software update - www.web-rewind.com/2002
Is #mapMonday still a thing..? Regardless - here's an interesting little spot just north of Bradwell in the #PeakDistrict along part of the Roman road heading from Buxton to the fort at Brough. Intrigued by the 'Site Of Eden Tree' ? @derbyshirearch.bsky.social (map from @natlibscot.bsky.social )
Amazing! Good luck Chris!
Yes... And then usually start getting grumpy about all the rubbish new ones they're putting out
Fantastic, thanks!
Got to be good if Tony is endorsing it!
Is there a Staffordshire based historical / archaeological society here on Bluesky?
Not long till this opens over at the Silk Museum! Fans of old stones, old paths and old places within the Three Shires this is for you. @chesterarchsoc.bsky.social @derbyshirearch.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social
Always good to see the remains of an old doorway or window stratified within later additions to a building! This is the south side of the Church Of The Holy Cross in Ilam.
