I think I must have travelled around a lot. Another one I recognise. Will hold off again, let's have some new blood guessing. Don't be shy, we don't bite. :)

John's picture is of the electricity crossing over Milton Creek.  The camera was situated in Swale way, just by the new bridge.  There is a small irony here, the pylons were rebuilt in the late 1980s to give more clearance (33m) over the creek (for masts etc), then the new fixed bridge was built which has been allowed to have 3.7m clearance.  (Clearances are measured from Highest Astronomical Tide, roughly springs.  There's more clearance as the tide falls, but then there's less water!)

Here's the next one.  It's way too easy, but the colour of the setting sun on the stonework is a bit special (IMHO).

Right, I know this one but am going to be "out of commission" until tomorrow evening.  If anyone can get it first, please step in, otherwise I'll claim it.

Yes J.W. - some cranes are still there - a 10ton on the wall of the Medway + two on No 2 dock - & one on No 4 Dock - The 1950 were the days when Destroyers were converted into £500,000 frigates. -I was an Instructor of Cranes Drivers then - as well as doing the work on the Frigates. 
More stories - later on.

Hi all,


Sorry just seen this, been a bit busy lately  ;D .
I can't explain this one, the server takes its time from an atomic clock somewhere out there. My session is showing the right time right now.

Well I noticed that the forum clock said  "November 17, 2022, 07:59:34 PM" when the PC (which gets its time ultimately from atomic clocks via the internet) said 19:59:34 17/11/2022.  Can't see any problem with that.


Mines correct now - methinks someone has altered it  ;D ;D ;D
