This week @dtigani has challenged me to "shoot a landmark which is unique to your local town, city or state" Well, I'm very lucky because the village I live in has a wonderful landmark which dates back to the 17th century - Lymm Cross - just 300 yards from where I live. I think I'll photograph it from a couple of different angles but here's some information for anyone who's interested.

@dtigani Great challenge - thank you. I'm lucky to have landmark on my doorstep. I love that there are even stocks - you don't see many of them.

[Sean O'Neill]

Love your POV here Jocasta, it makes the stocks look so ominous! I will give you a wave tomorrow on my way to the Kenna talk in Runcorn. Fav

Smashing shot. I daresay there are a few folks who you would like to see in those stocks!

[Jocasta]

@seanoneill I'll be really interested to know how his talk goes. Hope you enjoy it.
