Aerial photographs showing more than 100 landscapes and scenes from around
Britain will go on display on a street in Bath city centre. From dramatic
coastlines and mountains to shopping centres and power stations, Britain
from the Air will celebrate the diversity of the scenery on our
doorstep. The free exhibition will also feature a giant walk-on Ordnance
Survey map measuring 16m by 8m for people to pinpoint the image locations

This sweeping view of the Glenfinnan Viaduct as it curves its way through
the West Highlands captures the beauty and romance of the railways at the
peak of their popularity. Often cited as one of the most scenic railway
lines in Britain, the single-track West Highland Line crosses the top of
Loch Shiel by way of the Glenfinnan Viaduct, en route from Glasgow to
Mallaig in the Western Isles. Designed by Sir Robert McAlpine, the viaduct
was one of the largest engineering works using un-reinforced concrete. At
380m long with 21 arches, some as high as 30m, its a huge feat of
engineering. Completed in 1901, the 263km route was recently voted the
worlds top rail journey

BUKIT MERTAJAM: It was a short-lived joy for a couple who found a baby girl abandoned outside their house in Bukit Minyak near here.

The couple, who has been childless after 10 years of marriage, thought that it was a gift from God.

They kept the baby for 36 hours in their house but later handed her over the police following advice from neighbours.

Central Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Azman Abd Lah said the baby believed to be a week-old was wrapped in a napkin and left on a table outside the house of a 38-year-old factory worker on Sunday.

The factory worker saw the baby after he returned home at 11pm after prayers at a nearby mosque.

The couple wanted to adopt the baby as they have no children.

But their neighbours caution them that it was an offence to keep the baby, he told a press conference here yesterday.

ACP Azman said the couple surrendered the baby to the district police headquarters at Bandar Perda here at about 11am yesterday.

The baby weighing 1.4kg was sent to the Bukit Mertajam Hospital. She is in good health, he said.

He said the police were trying to trace the babys parents.

Members of the public who have any information can contact ASP S. Subramaniam at 019-6351119 or the nearest police station.
