Old & Young Ralphs  
High atop the North York Moors at Rosedale Head stands a couple of curios

Old Ralphs Cross stands out of sight of the nearby road  
It was probably carved in the 11th century, it was first recorded in a charter dating from around 1200  
Local myths and legends say it was erected by a local farmer, named Ralph, in memory of a traveller who died at the location  
It stands around about 6 feet tall, set in a socket hole in a roughly-shaped base  
The letter “R”, standing for “Ralph”, was later carved into it, and in 1708 the date and initials “CD” for “Charles Duncan” were also carved

Young Ralphs Cross sits nearby, alongside the Castleton to Hutton-le-Hole road in Rosedale  
It was probably also carved in the 11th century. The head of the cross was replaced, perhaps in the 18th century. The cross was broken in 1984 and again in 1990, and on both occasions was repaired with steel pins and cement  
In 1974, it was adopted as the emblem of the North York Moors National Park  
This cross stands at around 10 feet in height. It has a roughly-shaped base, and the lower part has much-weathered interlace ornament and a cable-moulded border

Another from my recent trip to Northern Ireland, The Dark Hedges. Probably not the best time to see them, the middle of summer, far too many tourists and too much greenery for me. So with the help of PS, no tourists and a bit of mono 😃

 ![JCP_Dru_darkhedges01](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/e/fe1aa96bd2c62d62bb5b6a81070239c4d38db478.jpeg)

> **[Dark Hedges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Hedges)**
>
> The Dark Hedges (Irish: Na Fálta Dorcha) is an carriage avenue of mature beech trees along Bregagh Road between Armoy and Stranocum in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The trees on both sides of the road are European beech trees (Fagus sylvatica), which are not indigenous to Ireland, they meet overhead, growing into a twisted canopy and forming a tree tunnel that is between 6 and 10 metres in width – the avenue is about 150 metres. The Dark Hedges are one of Northern Ireland's most photographed ...

Something a little different, from about this time in 2017, an infrared shot of Greenwich Park, London, with the Royal Observatory at the top of the hill…
