People all over our wonderful world can’t get out and enjoy nature just now. Here, I’m trying to brighten the days for them by posting pictures of natural beauty.
If you get pleasure from this, please share it, so others can enjoy it, too. Thank you.

What does the Penshaw Monument commemorate?
Lovely photo of the pond.

Good question, Lynette. Properly called ‘The Earl of Durham’s Monument’, it’s a 70 foot high replica of the Temple of Hepheastus in Athens and stands on a hill 446 fet above sea level. It can be seen from miles around in most directions.
For more detail, here’s a link to a full description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penshaw_Monument

Thank you for the link. Interesting that it’s dedicated to the first governor of Canada.

Stuart the pictures are amazing. I never ask you before but do people ever fish in this beautiful lake? Hope you two are enjoying your day. Love to you both. ❤️💕Joni

Yes, Joni. They don’t fish as much as they did 20 years ago, apparently. But we occasionally come across a lone fisherman, or sometimes even a small family group. The lake is not visible from the road that runs a good 400 yards away, so only locals and members of the fishing club know about it.
