Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by theCaptain on 29th Apr 2012. Sem tried to connect with the repulsive stone at the end of the avenue, but either his batteries were flat, or being from Wales his connections were of the wrong kind.

Roche Rock submitted by theCaptain on 6th Nov 2012. Passing on the way to visit the Eden Project, the rock and chapel were lit up by the most amazing silvery sunlight against a dark grey sky.
