On Sunday 13th September 1987, 47482 eases out of Chesterfield with the 1050 Penzance to Edinburgh service.
The train illustrates a typical formation of the period for long distance InterCity trains in 1987. Class 47s with Mark 2 air-conditioned coaches operated the vast majority of such trains.
The liveries shown are also typical: the large logo livery carried by the class 47 was widespread but was being replaced by InterCity mainline, but overall rail blue was also still commonplace.
The coach liveries are also common for the period: coaches were gradually being re-liveried into InterCity livery from blue/grey.
47482 was nearly 23 years old at the time of my image: it soldiered on for another 6 years before its last trip to a scrapyard in 1993.
Bis Anfang der 1970-er Jahre war Marzahn, das 1920 nach Berlin eingemeindet worden war, ein von Landwirtschaft geprägtes Dorf. Seine Struktur ist die eines typisch märkischen Angerdorfs, d. h. die Häuser des historischen Ortskerns liegen an einer Straße, die sich an beiden Enden gabelt und so den Anger, eine große Grünfläche, umfasst. Auf dem Anger stehen stehen die Kirche, die Schule und die ehemalige kleine Poststelle. Um diesen 1977 unter Denkmalschutz gestellten Ortskern wurde in den 1970-er und 1980-er Jahren die Großsiedlung Marzahn errichtet. 1979 wurde die Großsiedlung Marzahn mit mehreren weiteren Gebieten aus dem damaligen Stadtbezirk Lichtenberg herausgelöst und zu einem eigenen Stadtbezirk. Auch dieser wurde 1986 erneut geteilt in die Stadtbezirke Marzahn und Hellersdorf, die wiederum 2001 wieder unter dem Namen Marzahn-Hellersdorf zu einem einzigen Stadtbezirk mit ca. 269.000 Einwohnern vereinigt wurden. Die Erinnerung an die landwirtschaftliche Tradition Marzahns wird durch den Kleintierhof in einem alten Bauernhof im Dorf und seine Außengehege unterhalb der Bockwindmühle gepflegt.
Until the early 1970s, Marzahn, which had been incorporated into Berlin in 1920, was an agricultural village. Its structure is that of a typical Brandenburg village, i.e. the houses in the historic centre of the village are situated along a road that branches off at both ends, thus enclosing the village green, a large green area. The church, the school and the former small post office stand on the village green. The large housing estate of Marzahn was built in the 1970s and 1980s around this village centre, which was listed in 1977. In 1979 the large housing estate Marzahn and several other areas were separated from the borough of Lichtenberg and became a separate borough under the name of Marzahn. In 1986 this was again divided into the boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf, which in turn were reunited in 2001 under the name of Marzahn-Hellersdorf to form a single borough with approx. 269,000 inhabitants.
The memory of Marzahn's agricultural tradition is cherished by the Small Animal Farm in former farmstead in village and its outdoor enclosures below the windmill.

Well it's actually the spa and gym at the front of the cruise ship Celebrity Apex. However, it reminded me of the sun visors we might have worn as kids in the early 80s. Picture taken at sunrise in the port of Funchal.
Another one i've snapped before, its on the way to my Dad's house and look a lot rougher than it did in 2017, sad to see it slowly rusting away.....

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

The work was created under the impetus of the Foundation project he wanted to set up during his lifetime, a workshop like the ones he knew in France at the Maeght Foundation, where he could pass on to his compatriots artistic skills that were being lost, particularly in the disciplines of lithograph and etching.

Parked up outside a very abandoned looking half built block of flats, scenes like this aren't too uncommon in Thessaloniki and are a reminder of the ongoing financial issues suffered by the country.
The 19 next to it looked unused too, but equally I wouldn't be surprised if it were still being driven.

Introduction:
There is a feeling of freedom walking around a city with a camera. At 62, I still have that feeling but it was more pronounced when I was in my mid twenties, studying photography as a student at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. I took a lot of photographs in my early years in Toronto, capturing street scenes and ordinary aspects of daily life that happened to catch my eye. American photographer Henry Wessel sums up my approach in this way: “Part of it has to do with the discipline of being actively receptive. At the core of this receptivity is a process that might be called soft eyes. It is a physical sensation. You are not looking for something. You are open, receptive. At some point you are in front of something that you cannot ignore.”
I had no way to anticipate how significant these Toronto photos would seem to me 30 years later. They show things that no longer exist, even though it hasn’t been that long. Without necessarily trying to, I caught images of buildings, cars, fashions, gadgets that are no longer part of our world. Toronto’s entire skyline is utterly changed, part of the inevitable growth and evolution.
Back in the 1980s I would shoot a roll of film (usually black and white), process it a few days later and make a contact sheet. After that I might make an enlargement of one or two of the strongest shots, and then move on. The contact sheets may have been reviewed from time to time when I was preparing for an exhibition, but basically I didn’t look at them for years and years.
Looking back, I wish I had taken more colour photos, but I’m thankful for the ones I have. There were reasons for not shooting much colour. First, there was the added cost; second, I didn’t have much access to a colour darkroom to make prints. And in those days black and white was the preferred medium for fine art and documentary photographers. Ernst Haas was one of the few to exhibit colour photographs. William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Edward Burtynsky and other colour specialists were just emerging, and colour photography was not yet fully accepted in the art world.
There is a sense of hyper realism in a colour photograph, like looking at a Technicolor movie, that you don’t get with the more abstract black and white view. Japanese photographer Shin Noguchi is one of my favourites. Chuck Patch writes, in the introduction to Noguchi’s In Colour in Japan, “He prefers shooting in colour, because he says, black and white distances his audience by interjecting a layer of artifice between the viewer and the ‘Real World.’” And there’s also the psychological component of how the colours make us feel. Toronto In Colour: the 1980s is a collection of colour photos not seen in the three Toronto books I assembled previously; many of these images, in fact, haven’t ever been posted or published at all. Enjoy!

🐍 Un des nids de câbles qu’il a fallu démêler pour mettre à jour tout le réseau de la Station la semaine dernière. Un peu comme changer sa box sur Terre…. mais avec des centaines et centaines de gros câbles à gérer et des centaines de connexions à faire… ! Une tâche qui, dans un bel élan d’optimisme, devait à l’origine se boucler en quelques heures. Au final Mark et moi on y a passé quasiment toute la journée ! On s’en souviendra… Le fil vert sur le bouton vert, le fil rouge sur le bouton rouge... #CableManagement
Mark and myself worked on upgrading the entire Space Station network last week. It sounds like we just swapped a new internet box? Not really… it was a very labour-intensive task that took all day, with hundreds of meters of unwieldy cables, and hundreds of connections to make. And no pressure: if you don’t reconnect all of them properly, the Station won’t work… 😉

We reached our first operator, Martindale's at Ferryhill, and soon after we were all huddled inside the garage with the mechanics on duty, drinking mugs of tea in front of the heater - it was damned cold outside !
Martindale's really took to the newly-established European shuttle market, and took delivery of many new double-deck and twin-deck coaches throughout the 1980s. This was one of three new Neoplan Skyliners to arrive in May 1985 for Siesta Holidays contracts. It would stay local for the next few years, passing to Ellerby's in 1988, and then on to Bleanch's shortly after.
