Along a quiet London lane, a woman in a pale winter dress walks slowly past a churchyard wall. Snowflakes catch in her hair, and her eyes are distant. Behind her, the snow-covered gate swings slightly, as if someone had just passed through.

A mate of mine had to do a documentary for his film class in college and chose to do one about the Lincolnshire county war (I was billy the kid believe it or not! 😆) and his location was the alien landscape of Parys Mountain which not only had a wild west feel to it but almost feels like Mars. Whilst 'on set' I couldn't resist taking this snap with the famous windmill & Mr Prendergast..
Parys Mountain is noteworthy for its name as the once largest copper mine in the world following someone discovering copper in the earth, the man who discovered this allegedly was awarded with a bottle of brandy, fair trade if you ask me
Step back in time to a dimly lit captain's cabin of the HMS Discovery recreation within the Royal BC Museum, evoking the rich maritime history of Victoria, British Columbia. The scene is bathed in the warm, inviting glow of an oil lamp hanging overhead, casting long shadows and highlighting the rich wooden textures of the room. This contrasts with the soft, diffused light filtering through the multiple panes of the stern windows, suggesting a cloudy sky outside. At the heart of the room sits a sturdy wooden desk, a command center cluttered with navigational tools, maps, papers, and a feather quill poised for writing. A small, elegant globe rests on a nearby stand, symbolizing the world waiting to be explored. A chest of drawers stands against the wall, holding secrets of past voyages or important documents. The room feels authentic and lived-in, a place where critical decisions were made and adventures planned. It's a quiet, contemplative space, steeped in the romance and practicalities of a bygone era at sea.
O Castro de Monte Mozinho, situado no concelho de Penafiel, é um importante povoado fortificado, um dos maiores castros romanizados da Península Ibérica, ocupando cerca de 22 hectares. Habitado entre os séculos I a.C. e V d.C., na transição da Idade do Ferro para o período romano, apresenta uma organização urbana notável, com casas circulares e retangulares, ruas e muralhas concêntricas, refletindo a fusão de tradições castrejas e romanas. A sua localização estratégica, no vale do rio Sousa, permitia o controlo de rotas comerciais. Os vestígios arqueológicos, incluindo alicerces em pedra de habitações e espaços comunitários como uma acrópole (espaço para assembleias e mercados), são parcialmente visíveis, mesmo com a vegetação que se sobrepõe a algumas estruturas. O castro exemplifica a organização espacial dos assentamentos pré-romanos e romanos, demonstrando a adaptação das comunidades ao território e a influência da romanização na região.
The Castro de Monte Mozinho, located in the municipality of Penafiel, is an important fortified settlement, one of the largest Romanized forts on the Iberian Peninsula, occupying about 22 hectares. Inhabited between the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD, in the transition from the Iron Age to the Roman period, it presents a remarkable urban organization, with circular and rectangular houses, streets and concentric walls, reflecting the fusion of Castrean and Roman traditions. Its strategic location in the Sousa river valley allowed for the control of trade routes. The archaeological remains, including stone foundations of dwellings and community spaces such as an acropolis (space for assemblies and markets), are partially visible, even with the vegetation that overlaps some structures. The Castro exemplifies the spatial organization of pre-Roman and Roman settlements,
demonstrating the adaptation of communities to the territory and the influence of Romanization in the region.
