Festive fun at an electricity substation
Someone obviously had too many Christmas stickers - and probably too much Christmas spirit! Humbug!

A rich red
The soil around the Boyd in Golden Valley is actually more red than gold. However, the red is indicative of the deposits of ochre that abounded here. Indeed, there was an ochre and oxide works just along the way from 1892-1970. The seam was largely worked out and so the works closed; given a little time and effort, the area has become a Local Nature Reserve.
