We're lucky enough to live on a planet with so much to offer, admire and preserve.

Todays issues and plights can often deter our minds from just how wonderful our planet really is.

Welcome, to an amazing world. 🌎

On this day:

In 1895, the National Trust (for places of historic interest or Natural Beauty) was founded by the social reformers: Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter, and Clergyman Hardwicke Rawnsley

Its origins, however, lie in the Kyrle Society (named after John Kryle), which was formed in 1876 by Hill and her sister Miranda; alongside the conservational work provided by Hunter (the
renowned solicitor to the Commons Preservation society) and Rawnsley (a commited naturalist who had campainged for the protection of the lake district). United, these three passionate and resolute individuals went on to design and create one of the largest heritage sites in Britain; one which has guaranteed the survival of estates once victim to militant industrialisation and urbanisation: ensuring that the soil of Britain remains well protected and nurtured.

Conserving the rich past of Britain, for all its people to embellish and appreciate to the upmost degree.

Let's hope that it's stays true to its founding promise.

This MASSIVE #French flag is from a French War-Ship during the 'Battle of Trafalgar' (1805) where Lord #Nelson was killed. Comparing the flag with the ship truly highlights the magnitude of historic naval-warfare and just how unaware we are, of it's impressive, terrifying scale.

This amazing picture is of two #German Ordnungspolizei (Police) helping a #French-colonial troop light a cigarette, 1940. Such realities destory the myths created by dishonest record keepers.

It's incredibly difficult to maintain one's creative streak, when one's surroundings are as uncreative as the modern world.
