I have a soft spot for the architecture of Stockport. This is the Market Hall, designed and built in cast iron by the ironfounder James Heywood Jr. of Derby in 1861. St Mary's overlooks the marketplace and has a mediaeval chancel but is mostly a rebuild of 1813-17 by Lewis Wyatt.

First time in the reopened Inverness Castle. I expected it to be a dirge, but I confess it was genuinely impressive: a wealth of interesting presentations and interpretations telling the story of the Highlands, the building fabulously rejuvenated, and of course great views. Locals, with a visit!

This is so soothing. Oh to be a floating bear!
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
