Museum Display case, from August 2025
The Waistcoats of Sir John Fleming Leicester (1762-1827) are beautiful examples of silk and embroidery with silk buttons. Sir John liked a beautiful waistcoat!

A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows an illuminated display case at a country house in Cheshire. There are five incredible pale silk men's waistcoats with embroidery and silk buttons. They are very small, the owner must have been a slight build.

An old elevator door painted black with gold painted floor dial and pointer above. There is white marble with yellow hues and black veining on the walls surrounding the elevator door. Mounted on the wall to the right there is a long narrow mirror in a black and gold frame. Below the mirror there is a black post box with the words: "Letter Box US Mail" and a stylized eagle painted in gold.

I knew I had a pic of the inside somewhere! It’s not great as I had to sneak up and take a snap through the window but you get the idea 😂 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOpulent

Single bed on right with green cover and velvet patterned cushions. There is a mahogany dresser with mirror to the left with various expensive looking accoutrements 😂

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekOForOpulent #Photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography

A tall, white superyacht is docked in a harbor in this black and white, square-format photograph. The yacht dominates the center, featuring a sleek hull, multiple decks, and a prominent mast structure topped with antennae and radar domes. To the right, a large industrial building with a sawtooth roofline provides a dark, high-contrast background. The water is dark and still, reflecting the moody, overcast lighting. A smaller, darker boat is visible tied up next to the yacht in the foreground.

Manchester Cathedral

A photo of inside Manchester Cathedral.
Either side of the room are several tall decorative stone archways.
Seats are placed either side looking towards the grand ornate pipes of the cathedral's hold and silver organ that are high up on the wall above a decoratively carved wooden entrance to another section.
I took the photo on top of a shiny table that gives a puddle like reflection of the cathedral

Thank you very much. I'm an amateur with lots to learn, but just occasionally I capture something nice.

Clouded Sulphur Butterfly

Moments of surreal beauty...

A yellow butterfly is holding on to a small white flower with a yellow center. There white flowers, some in focus some blurry, all over the picture frame.

Before local parishes had graveyards, some English villages used corpse roads to carry the dead from remote settlements to churches with burial rights. Processions crossed fields and moorland, pausing at coffin stones that still mark the way. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

Dirt path leading to a stone building on a hill, bordered by dry stone walls. Text says: A corpse road is the name for an old path used to carry coffins from remote villages to a distant church which had burial rights.

WISE
A wise person never boasts and always tries to put himself on the level of the one next to him.
Knowing many things should make us more humble. That's what I believe.
