Monday Mystery

Not too many problems for most in identifying



as part of



a wooden bench. One I take a breather on every time we walk through the churchyard. Well done to Thelma, Adrian, Kev Scott, Dave and Kris.
I see where you were coming from Ellen D. but in general we don't have personal post boxes outdoors, just letter boxes (rectangular hole cover by a hinged flap) in our front doors.

Another close view of something for you to identify:

which is part of what?

Please leave any guesses in the comments. They will be revealed, along with the answer, next Monday.

P.S. I loathe this new Blogger interface.

Automatic Time Lapse Video

The Canon G5X mk2 can not only make panorama photographs in real time but it can also make time lapse videos, in camera, in real time. Just a few menu settings needed. Take a still to set focus and exposure for the video. Start the sequence. Transfer finished video to laptop.



A vast improvement on the days when I had to use a camera with external time lapse trigger. Take hundreds of individual still shots. Transfer them to my laptop. Run a program to add the photos together to make a video.
Title sequence added using Wondershare Filmora 9.

Monday Mystery

Not often I defeat everyone.
Last week's close view:



was part of:



a perforated lid for frying pans.
Very useful for keeping splatter from bacon under control.
I also use it when I sear meat and then pour in an OXO, Bisto gravy granules mix to simmer the meat. It slows down the evaporation.

Maybe you will have an easier job identifying this close view



of what?

The Sport of Greyhounds

They say horse racing is the sport of kings.
I reckon rabbit spotting and chasing is the sport of greyhounds.

It really makes Penny's day when she spots one or two when we walk through the churchyard.





They usually disappear as soon as they spot us but this time I was able to stay reasonably hidden while I took a couple of shots. Once they spotted Penny they hurtled back to the safety of waste land next to the churchyard.

Harrowing

On reaching the end of our lane I could see that the next stage in preparing the land for its next crop was well under way. This time with a harrow to break up the large clods of earth left after ploughing.
