When in the town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, UK, it is obligatory to photograph the railway viaduct spanning the gorge of the river Nidd. So here is my attempt, taken yesterday, April 14th.
Finished in 1851, the viaduct is 260 feet long and over 80 feet high.
There are dozens of rowing boats for hire; you can see some of them bottom right.
I like the 'two-tone' house which is visible through the centre arch.

Iranian envoy says Tehran will not “stand idle’ if Trump follows through on #WarCrime threats

Amir-Saeid Iravani, Tehran’s representative at the #UN, said that Trump’s threats earlier Tuesday that a “whole civilization will die” if Iran does not make a deal “constitute incitement to #WarCrimes & potentially #genocide.”

#Trump says he’s “not at all” concerned about committing #WarCrimes as he continues to threaten destruction of Iran’s #bridges & #PowerPlants if they don’t meet a Tuesday-evening deadline to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

“I hope I don’t have to do it,” Trump added.
