This was my first trip to Grangemouth Oil Refinery, I never realaised how big the place is. It is absolutely massive!!! I have some panos to stich together later that should show the sheer scale of it. This is just a quick and very rough edit to get a pic up. While I was there, I was of course told by security it was ilegal to fly my drone. They called the police, I waited for 20 minutes then left after having a pleasant chat with security.

I was there on Friday evening, never saw any sign of security, though I did stick to flying at the field to the east of it as I wanted the setting sun behind the smoke/vapour trails. Reminds me of way back in the early 90’s, when I heard of three local camera club members who were arrested for taking photos of the refinery.

Went up to Cannock Chase, Staffordshire for a Wimpy and took these instead (not as appetising but better for you!).

One of the few pleasures of living in Stafford is this AONB! Did think I was going to get run over by the bikers so took the photo quick! :rofl:

On the Stow Road heading back from Sudeley Castle, I saw this old tin barn, a silhouette against the sunset. I couldn’t resist it, so pulled over and launched the Mini 3 Pro.

I saw Devil’s Chimney at Leckhampton Hill yesterday.

More info

Devil’s Chimney is a limestone rock formation that stands above a disused quarry in Leckhampton, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.

It is named for its peculiar shape, that of a crooked and twisted chimney rising from the ground. The Devil’s Chimney is a local landmark, but its origins are uncertain. In 1926 it survived an earthquake, but not without a few cracks. In 1985 it was repaired and protected from further erosion.

Legend holds that the Devil’s Chimney is the chimney of the Devil’s dwelling deep beneath the ground. Supposedly the Devil, provoked by the many Christian churches of the area, would sit atop Leckhampton Hill and hurl stones at Sunday churchgoers. However the stones were turned back on him, driving him beneath the ground and trapping him there so he could not further harass the villagers. Now he uses the mass of stones as his chimney to let free the smokes of hell.

Visitors to the Devil’s Chimney would leave a coin on top of the rock as payment to the Devil in exchange for his staying in his underground home and not leaving to create mischief and spread evil in the local area.
