Been a bit busy in these last couple of weeks different locations out and about so here goes ,
Had a morning down at the Belper mill after the peregrines falcons  but the weren't playing , So it was the gulls 
 had some Fun taking these 
Had a hr having some fun with these then decided to put the big lens away and do a bit of landscape with M3
Belper Strutts mill, windows

Some think keeps drawing me back to this style of photography
Plenty to see and take down here
More windows , plenty of history down here 
Belper river Gardens ,great place 
Id finished doing landscape put the camera away and though just a couple of shots with the room again couldn't resist it ,
last shot of the day with the 500mm ,might be on its way to another home tomorrow ,its being sold 
   Got home and was told where off for a walk up to the dog at Pentrich the place of the revolution
   so off we went
Under the bridge over the green way
Foot path up to the green way , must have a walk this part 
thought i would have a shot at this a row of holes stretching the whole length of a building wall
This is the place where it was all hatched 
The site of Hardys barn
The sign on the public house The Dog at Pentrich

a walk among the tombstones 

Saw Tuesday nights film starring Liam Neilson it got me thinking about a sunset id seen at Belper cemetery , 
So off i went with nothing else on the calendar what a great way to spend a Thursday evening 
 
looking over towards Belper Lane end and Ambergate 
over looking Belper mill and the Chevin
footpath through the woods 


stunning sunsets ,it was great sitting there watching the sun set and listening to the sounds of the birds 
lots of wildlife in here as well also Belper council do a great job of keeping the cemetery in great condition 

Bluebells 



enjoyed it down there watching the sun go down and also said good night to a few of the people i have known in there 
 god rest them 
   Hope you enjoyed the photos

Calke Abbey , the house where time stood still

What a place mystery galore 
 
Calke Abbey
every where you look theres a mysterious find waiting for you 




Part of the kitchen just as it was found 


 some of the rooms inside Calk Abbey







And then a trip down the tunnels to the brew house ,this i thought was great
  Entrance to the cellars and brew house
Barrel store for a guess just imagine all those barrels of ale down here
 
and of we go , brilliant place , and theres a light at the end of the tunnel 

and another light at the end
a bit of greenery to brighten the place up

Some one beat me to it and drank the lot , can just imagine this in the days when it was a working brew house for workers and staff
  well hope you enjoyed the blog of Calke Abbey theres so much to see and do here ,I can honestly recommend it
     so till the next time 
 Take care and enjoy the rest of the bank holiday
