Oh man, Eric, now you've caught me...  :D

On Saturday I was with Mrs. Sneider, Sneider junior and his girlfriend on the relatively small mountain called Kronberg at 1662m.
I'm not happy with the photo quality, somehow I always had to take photos in the direction of the sun and my old phone doesn't take the best pictures anyway, it will soon be time for a new one ....

Here is the view towards Säntis, the highest peak of this small mountain range.

Small mountain  :D.

But still 1000m higher than the highest "mountain" in Belgium (and in all honesty, that one was actually in Germany until after WW2, when the German/Belgian border was re-drawn).

Beautiful pics of a beautiful place, thanks for sharing them here my friend.  It's been a dark and gloomy couple of days here,  it really feels as if autumn is here to stay already, so those sunny mountain pics are a welcome change 😉.

Thanks mate  :salute:.

Hey Eric

Little mountain according to Swiss relation, you know.  ;)

I've shown the Kronberg many times in this thread. I have marked it in the picture below. Is really not the highest peak in the picture ...

I wish you some beautiful autumn days in Belgium.
Here in Switzerland, after a lousy summer, we still have some sun at least now.

Hello Michael  :cheers:.

My apologies for the late reply  :-[.

Beautiful pictures my friend, thank you so much for sharing them here. 

I'm not a bird expert either, so my contribution to bird spotting would be limited to "that's a nice bird", "that's a big bird"... So pretty much useless  ;).

Those two stones in the last pics, any idea what they are?  The first one seems to have a broad arrow sign on top of it, and the bottom one looks like a border stone,  or military (border) stone to me.  But I would sure like to know more about them (I'm a bit of a history geek, so these things intrigue me).

Again, great pics and thanks for sharing them here my friend  :salute:.

Quote from: Sneider on October 02, 2021, 10:41:01 AM
Interesting location, Michael. Thanks for the pictures.

Cheers fellas. Apologies for my own delayed response, I was away for a bit and the brief time I had to check MTO was spent on the SAK forum...

So, I wasn't 100% sure on the stone markers. I did some digging and I've found the following bits of information taken from the web;

For the "1844" marker - "This stone used to be nearer the river, and was moved when the river defence wall was built in the 1920's. It was originally put in place by the old Ribble Navigation Co."

"This stone marker (one of two - the other is missing) marked the eastern boundry (EB) of the Legal Quays (LQ) of the Port of Preston Customs Area that was set up by the Ribble Navigation Committee in 1844. The way the '4' was represented had yet to be standardized. It was common to see it backwards now and then. There are at least 2 gravestones in Preston churchyards with backwards 4's"

The other one seems to be a bit of a mystery. However, what I have found is this - "This stone is the milestone which marked the one mile from Preston town centre along the old Liverpool route via Penwortham Old Bridge." If something else I've read is correct, it used to have an info plate which read "Preston 1, Ormskirk 17."

I've passed them so many times (I grew up round there) and never really paid them much attention. So now I've learned something myself!

We have the tools, we have the talent!

Thanks also, Echotech. Well done!  :hatsoff: :salute:
I love to see pictures like this here, a little bit of travel feeling.
 :like:

During our first lockdown we only made trips to the hills / woods behind the house for over half a year. You feel freedom more intensely when you no longer have it (my experience) But this time also had its good sides...



Another category of public place, recently at a flea market in my area and my finds there:

Cheers fellas. Apologies for my own delayed response, I was away for a bit and the brief time I had to check MTO was spent on the SAK forum...

So, I wasn't 100% sure on the stone markers. I did some digging and I've found the following bits of information taken from the web;

For the "1844" marker - "This stone used to be nearer the river, and was moved when the river defence wall was built in the 1920's. It was originally put in place by the old Ribble Navigation Co."

"This stone marker (one of two - the other is missing) marked the eastern boundry (EB) of the Legal Quays (LQ) of the Port of Preston Customs Area that was set up by the Ribble Navigation Committee in 1844. The way the '4' was represented had yet to be standardized. It was common to see it backwards now and then. There are at least 2 gravestones in Preston churchyards with backwards 4's"

The other one seems to be a bit of a mystery. However, what I have found is this - "This stone is the milestone which marked the one mile from Preston town centre along the old Liverpool route via Penwortham Old Bridge." If something else I've read is correct, it used to have an info plate which read "Preston 1, Ormskirk 17."

I've passed them so many times (I grew up round there) and never really paid them much attention. So now I've learned something myself!

Wow, I missed a lot of beautiful posts here, it seems...

First things first, thank you Michael for doing the research on the stones, I really appreciate stuff like that, and the History buff in me just wants to learn as much of that sort of things as possible.

And my two other friends haven't sat back either, what beautiful pics from both of you, breathtaking...

I've been quite busy at work recently, and haven't found the time to go out myself, and seeing these awesome pics in this topic just brightens up my days  ;).

Thank you Gentlemen for sharing your pics here, I can't say this enough, I really appreciate it  :salute:.

No problem at all Eric, it helped me learn, too. :tu:

I went to Luton on Saturday, which is not a place that is photo worthy, but I stopped off in St. Albans and visited the Cathedral/Abbey, which is...

I also had a little SAK keeping an eye on my beer for me when I did get to Luton...

Ooooh, trains, more trains, a Cathedral...

You guys are the best  :tu:.

Every time I visit this topic it feels like going on a small vacation, awesome  :tu:.

I've been having a bit of a dark vibe about MTO lately, and yesterday I entered a discussion in another topic (which, looking back now, I should've just stayed clear off), but it's too late for that now.

Anyway, my feelings for this place have been going downhill for some time now, and to be honest, this topic (and you guys) is about the only reason I keep coming back here.

I'm going to try and set aside this negativity, and I'll post some pics from a short hike with Misses TG-24, our little girl and of course, Rocky, last weekend.










Our little girl was drawing hearts in the sand, I just had to join her... (but screwed up).

Hey Michael, thanks for the cool pics!  :like:
 I feel like Eric, always a little travel feeling when someone posts interesting photos from another place. I've heard of Luton but never heard of St. Albans ... what a beautiful cathedral! Gothic with another, older one? mixed architecture style?



Eric, don't get upset for things you can't change.  :shrug:

This thread that you started here has also become one of my favorite places that I always like to visit!
Thanks for the beautiful autumn photos, and as always, you have a well-chosen pocket tool with you!   :tu:


Stay safe, gents  :salute:

I'm just catching up after a few days away in Warsaw - pics will follow when I've had chance to straighten myself out!

Eric, no problem, glad you enjoyed them. :tu: And don't worry too much about that other thread, I only saw it last night after it had been closed, but I would definitely had been in there in your defence. I've learnt to try and avoid topics on here that I think might result in a discussion with people whose world view differ drastically from my own, that being one of them. Stick to photos and SAKs and I'm sure things will turn around. :cheers:

Sneider, some excellent photos yourself, there mate. :like: St Albans is one of the UK's 69 (currently, until Southend's 'promotion' becomes official) cities and the Cathedral is near the site where St Alban, England's first Saint, was martyred. Hence the city's name and everything else. It's a beautiful place and was the first time I'd been.

It's the oldest continual place of worship in the country, I believe much of the architecture is Norman/Romanesque, but there have been other bits re-done over the years with 11th century and Gothic architecture added. Even for a heathen like me it was a lovely place to look round!

Thanks Eric, always a pleasure here.  :hatsoff:

Michael: Thanks for the info. I've just done a little research on the 69 British cities - I know so little about this country ...
I visited St. Alban virtually, what a lovely place ...  :dd:
I'm looking forward to photos from Warsaw ..  :popcorn:


My wife, son and I were in the Bernese highlands for a few days. We did some mountain hikes with a special highlight. I still have to look through the pictures, there is definitely something for here.


Have a pleasant weekend everyone.  :salute:
