Can't resist a war memorial. Not sure of the conflict here but there is a sad degree of surname congruence in this example from Georgia. Shared patronymics suggest some were brothers. RIP gentlemen.

Recently been on holiday, can't resist a good graveyard on a #OnePlaceWednesday. Istanbul.
Just grateful that my #OnePlaceStudies place only has one alphabet to deal with!

Queue for the ladies loo at the rugby. Never seemed to cross their minds that a women's sports event might attract women.

Two recent webinars with @oneplacestudies.bsky.social on churchyard carvings helped me look at St Clements on Harris with a new light. Sadly none in my #OnePlaceStudies place.
(and yes, there is a sheela-na-gig).

Not sure we were supposed to photograph this slimline Victorian #postbox whilst on a birding holiday in Redcastle. Sadly all those in my #OnePlaceStudies place are standard EIIR issue. Any good ones in your places?

Not in my place, but there is a temperance bar locally, linked to the Methodist church. They don't sell tea, but black beer & raisin, dandelion & burdock, sarsaparilla and the like. Sadly it's just another cafe now.

Fine example of #OnePlaceStudies by Hebrides People. £5 for an excellent exhibition, £70 to get out of the bookshop. Can't think how that happened... #OnePlaceWednesday

First thing I've seen in the CIIIR livery. Sadly, there probably won't be many postboxes.
