Think I am going to be an AI vegan from now on...
Sorry for no alt text on this, but you can probably guess what happened when I used Google to search how to turn off its AI overviews.

This morning's encounter with a young roe deer that had just been separated from it's parents and sibling. It went the right way in the end!

From the front in daylight. You get an idea of scale from the normal size window at bottom right corner. It does seem to scream of power to me, and I am sure the local population at the time would have been awed by it.

Those Gothic revivalists certainly knew how to give people the willies, didn't they?

In the aftermath of storm Bert, you can see the power of water at this weir. Built in the late 18th century, it was the start of the power feed to two cotton mills on the Irwell. Now there's just a lot of energy being wasted. Would love it if we could harness this into a local #hydropower supply.

Bit of a hazy view of Scout Moor wind turbines.

Max is a bit of an impressionist (not the artistic type). When he's not being a cat, sometimes he can be found pretending to be a magnificent wild beast
