This is a Roman statue, partially preserved, from the Carrawburgh Temple of Mitras site (that’s part of Hadrian’s Wall). The head might be gone but his chiton can still be seen. Chitons were garments clasped on one shoulder, worn by ancient Greeks and Romans.

These are all artefacts in the museum of Chesters Roman Fort (formerly known as Cilurnum) in Northumberland. They are around 1800-1900 years old. And especially for curiouscat99 who thought of this prompt: The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Ancient
I’ve shared this shot before – but how could I not with this brief? The lighthouse of Roker Beach in Sunderland.
And here the same window – just to show what difference the right angle, different lighting and a different focus can do.
And now for something completely different: A white house hiding behind green trees.

I keep coming back to this room for its view. It’s in Sunderland overlooking Roker Beach with the Roker lighthouse in the back.
Directly on the beach is a different window – the way marker for the C2C route which is a cycling route from coast to coast, or sea to sea, from Workington in the west to Sunderland in the east. It is shaped like a camera aperture – a window we are all very familiar with if we use (or have used) actual cameras.
The Cosmic Photo Challenge: A Room with a View
I’ve been using a few photos lately from our visit to the National Glass Centre in Sunderland a few years back. The show work shop of the glass blowers has impressed me, it seems. They also hold workshops throughout the year for visitors to create their own glass projects.
In contrast, the work shop in the old farmhouse next door to us. It’s no longer in use but a few tools are still left about the place. I love looking over the wall at the implements and stones and all the old stuff still lying around and my husband and I dread the day they are going to tear the buildings down and start erecting an apartment house.
