Old Trafford Football Stadium added to Everything Else in North West by Andy_B on 20/07/2022

Old Trafford is a football stadium in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, and is the home of Manchester United.

With a capacity of 74,197 it is the largest club football stadium (and second-largest football stadium overall after Wembley Stadium) in the United Kingdom, and the twelfth-largest in Europe. It is about 0.5 miles (800 m) from Old Trafford Cricket Ground and the adjacent tram stop.

Nicknamed "The Theatre of Dreams" by Bobby Charlton, Old Trafford has been United's home ground since 1910, although from 1941 to 1949 the club shared Maine Road with local rivals Manchester City as a result of Second World War bomb damage. Old Trafford underwent several expansions in the 1990s and 2000s, including the addition of extra tiers to the North, West and East Stands, almost returning the stadium to its original capacity of 80,000.

The stadium's record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town.

Start Point Lighthouse, South Hams (By chrismartindevon)

Great location for a dramatic lighthouse shot.

Wind can be very strong and gusty here, and when taking off can be a sudden pickup when the drone gets above the rock level.

St James Church, Purbeck (By gasbag43)

The Church of St James is the parish church for the village of Kingston, located on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. The church is a notable example of the Gothic Revival style and is a Grade I listed building.

A church or chapel has stood on this spot since the 12th century with various links since then to nearby Corfe Castle. The chapel, dedicated to St James, was built in 1837 by the local Earl at a cost in today’s money of £4.5m – a huge sum for such a small parish, having a population of less than 200 residents giving it the nickname of the "Cathedral of the Purbecks".

The church itself is impressive as a piece of architecture nestled in the small village against a heavily wooded backdrop with the ruins of Corfe Castle clearly visible only 1.5 miles away

The Grey Mare and her Colts, West Dorset (By gasbag43)

The Grey Mare and her Colts is a megalithic chambered long barrow located near Abbotsbury in Dorset, England. It was built during the Early and Middle Neolithic periods (3400-2400 BC). The monument is part of a group of similar monuments spread across the South Dorset Ridgeway.

The burial monument today is a nearly rectangular mound, 24 m long, 1 m high, and tapering in width from 13 m wide at the southeast end of the tomb to 8 m wide at the northwest end. The remnants of the burial chamber are located at the southeast end of the mound. To the south east end of the mound are four enormous Sarsen stones, three standing and one lying flat

The location itself is of historical significance but its setting in clear, open countryside is what makes this a great place to fly
