Just happened to be chatting online with a few members of this group at 2am this morning, and I suddenly had this rash urge to set my alarm for 'stupid o'clock'

So just a little over two hours later, found me ankle deep in the freezing cold North Sea (and yes my boots leak), but results like this make the sacrifices all worth it

What you see here is the last bastion of steel making on Teesside, this blast furnace has been here for the last 100 years and news has now been confirmed that it will shut with the loss of over 2000 jobs on site and countless numbers as a knock on effect

This cross stands in Janesville, WI. It is 60ft tall and 40ft wide and weighs 26,000 pounds.

Yet another 4am trip to the coast saw a real battle of the elements, as the sunrise competed with the constant rain
alas the rain won out, and the sun went back to bed, but I did manage to catch this ribbon of red across a local coastal landmark
