Sharing a Roman soldier's view of Northumbrian clouds https://www.flickr.com/photos/196428382@N08/53248823711/in/pool-62326588@N00 David- 80 has added a photo to the pool:
There is no doubt that Roman soldiers stood at this very spot and also looked up at threatening Northumbrian clouds. The photo was taken from inside one of the forts which had housed Roman soldiers tasked with defending Hadrian's Wall. Today the site is called Carrawburgh Fort but the Roman's knew it as Brocolitia. The fort itself has never been fully excavated except briefly in the late 1800's, although more recently there has been the discovery, just outside the walls, of a temple to Mithras (god of soldiers) and shrines to local water spirits. The fort's site is easy to see as a series of lumps and bumps and is reckoned to be the best preserved fort. It housed about 500 troops from 130AD until the Romans abandoned the whole province in 440 AD. Outside the fort was the usual Vicus, a civilian settlement catering for the needs of soldiers and included provision for visitors, families, retired soldiers, as well as the various traders the military the world over attracts. There were not many actual Roman soldiers, most were Auxiliary troops recruited from other parts of the Empire or even outside it. Here, at times, were troops from South-West France, the Low Countries, and even Eastern Germany. |

Common Nettle 4975 https://www.flickr.com/photos/mike-thornton/53249269913/in/pool-62326588@N00 Mike Thornton 15 has added a photo to the pool:
Also known as the Stinging Nettle. First outing to test my Canon R5. Still plenty to learn but it did ok so far. Taken down alongside the River Goyt near Chadkirk Woods. Only ambient light used. The veins on this particular specimen really stood out. Well known to all countryside walkers. The small needle like hollow hairs break at the slightest touch and release an irritating fluid. This was not focus bracketed using the in-camera feature. |

Fly Agaric 4752 (Amanita muscaria) https://www.flickr.com/photos/mike-thornton/53249560310/in/pool-62326588@N00 Mike Thornton 15 has added a photo to the pool:
A striking red cap fungi that is extremely toxic and can cause severe symptoms if eaten. This young domed specimen will flatten as it matures and was one of several in Bolehill Quarry, Derbyshire. Unfortunately most had been nibbled at and there were very few full specimens. Not surprising at the numbers when one considers that the quarry contains a significant number of Silver Birch trees. |

Farms in the Forest of Bowland, North Yorkshire https://www.flickr.com/photos/bazrichardson/53249099314/in/pool-62326588@N00 Baz Richardson - now away has added a photo to the pool:
The Forest of Bowland, also known as the Bowland Fells and formerly the Chase of Bowland, is a beautiful area of gritstone fells, deep valleys and peat moorland, mostly in the north of Lancashire, with the north-eastern part of the Forest of Bowland (pictured here) being just over the border in North Yorkshire. Numerous farms dot the landscape.
It is a western outlier of the Pennines and was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1964. The Yorkshire Dales can be seen in the far distance.
The North Yorkshire town of Settle, immediately to the east, is about eight miles away. Originally part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Settle is located in Ribblesdale, at the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The village of Clapham, which was also part of the West Riding, is straight ahead beyond the ridge, approximately five miles away. It lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. |

Ivy flowers_P7A6847 https://www.flickr.com/photos/wendy_ball/53249591944/in/pool-62326588@N00 Wendy Ball - West Sussex has added a photo to the pool:
Ivy begins to produce yellow/green, strong-smelling blooms when a lot of flowering plants are starting to die off in late summer, so it is an essential food plant for pollinators when there is little else about. It is particularly important to many insects before they go into hibernation. Some of the main insect species which forage on the nectar and pollen of ivy are bees, hoverflies and common wasps. The Ivy Bee feeds mainly on ivy, so they time their emergence to fit in with the flowering period of late September to November. |

Looking across the Derbyshire Dales towards Roystone Grange Farm from the High Peak Trail close to Minninglow in the Peak District National Park. It is shot from a bridge which spans a road between two fields
The High Peak Trail is a path that follows the line of the old Cromford and High Peak light railway from Parsley Hay to Cromford.
Minninglow is a Neolithic burial site that also contains two Bronze Age barrows on a roughly circular hill crowned with trees. |
