[From Wikipedia] Mount Diablo is a mountain of the Diablo Range, in Contra Costa County of the eastern San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. It is south of Clayton and northeast of Danville.
It is an isolated upthrust peak of 3,849 feet (1,173 meters), visible from most of the San Francisco Bay Area. Mount Diablo appears from many angles to be a double pyramid and has many subsidiary peaks, the largest and closest of which is the other half of the double pyramid, North Peak, nearly as high in elevation at 3,557 feet (1,084 m) and about a mile northeast of the main summit.

A brief introduction to "my" mountain: Mount Diablo is a mountain of the Diablo Range, in Contra Costa County of the eastern San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. It is south of Clayton and northeast of Danville. It is an isolated upthrust peak of 3,849 feet, visible from most of the San Francisco Bay Area. Mount Diablo appears from many angles to be a double pyramid and has many subsidiary peaks. The largest and closest is North Peak, the other half of the double pyramid, which is nearly as high in elevation at 3,557 feet, and is about one mile (1.6 kilometers) northeast of the main summit.
This is a unique mountain. Because it is in the middle of three valleys, it overlooks a vast expanse of northern California. On a clear day ... you can see forever or darn close to it. The Delta and Central Valley to the Sierras to the east, Mt. Lassen to the north, the Bay to the west, and me to the northwest.
Mt. Diablo gets perhaps 2" of snow a year. In 2010, we had a dandy storm which dumped seven inches as seen in this image. The problem for me was where to find a vantage point to get the mountain with all four seasons still in evidence. Marchbanks Rd. with an elevation of around 900 feet was the one spot. It is no more. What you're seeing in this image can no longer be had because trees have grown as has Walnut Creek. So, this may be a very unique scene unless you go with a drone (which I believe are illegal in city limits).
Anyway, this is the mountain which has provided me with almost all my outdoor activity and entertainment since 1973. A hundred of all the species of birds I've photographed were found here. Six indigenous wildflowers, four species of snakes, and countless insects and spiders. The tarantulas has a yearly migration across the top peak in September when the males go seeking a mate. I've only seen coyote and Black-tailed mule deer, and a glimpse of a bobcat and cougar. Large animals can't be sustained and all must vie with the ranchers and their cattle.
I thought this was an appropriate winter scene to resurrect just before Christmas and to show you the predominant place I've hiked, biked, and photographed the myriad of wildlife that it has to offer.

Current name
The conventional view is that the peak derives its name from the 1805 escape of several Chupcan Native Americans from the Spanish in a nearby willow thicket. The natives seemed to disappear, and the Spanish soldiers thus gave the area the name "Monte del Diablo", meaning "thicket of the devil." Monte was later misinterpreted by English speakers as mount or mountain.
General Mariano G. Vallejo, in an 1850 report to the California State legislature, gave this much romanticized story of the derivation of the name of Mount Diablo from its Spanish to Anglo form, related to the mountain and an evil spirit. Vallejo's report could be interpreted to align with Gudde's account. (Kyle, and Ortiz)
This name was later applied to Salvio Pacheco's Rancho Monte del Diablo, the present-day site of the city of Concord. The name's origin was misinterpreted by English-speaking newcomers to refer to the mountain rather than the settlement.
The name Monte del Diablo (‘Mount of the Devil’) appears on the "Plano topográfico de la Misión de San José" about 1824, where there was an Indian settlement at the approximate site of the present town of Concord {Pacheco}. On August 24, 1828, the name was applied to the Monte del Diablo land grant for which Salvio Pacheco had petitioned in 1827.
One attribute that makes the name Mount Diablo appropriate is that the mountain glows red at sunset.
Sierra Madre (known in Mexico as Sierra Madre de Chiapas) is a mountain range which runs northwest-southeast from the state of Chiapas in Mexico across Guatemala, into El Salvador and Honduras. Most of the volcanoes of Guatemala are a part of this range.
A narrow coastal plain lies south the range, between the Sierra Madre and the Pacific Ocean. To the north lie a series of highlands and depressions, including the Chiapas Depression, which separates the Sierra Madre from the Chiapas Plateau, the Guatemalan Highlands, and Honduras' interior highlands.
It is known near Guatemala city as the Sierra de las Nubes, and enters Mexico as the Sierra de Istatan. Its summit is not a well-defined crest, but is often rounded or flattened into a table-land. The direction of the great volcanic cones, which rise in an irregular line above it, is not identical with the main axis of the Sierra itself, except near the Mexican frontier, but has a more southerly trend, especially towards El Salvador; here the base of many of the igneous peaks rests among the southern foothills of the range. It is, however, impossible to subdivide the Sierra Madre into a northern and a volcanic chain; for the volcanoes are isolated by stretches of comparatively low country; at least thirteen considerable streams flow down between them, from the main watershed to the sea. Viewed from the coast, the volcanic cones seem to rise directly from the central heights of the Sierra Madre, above which they tower; but in reality their bases are, as a rule, farther south. East of Volcán Tacana (4,092 meters) which marks the Mexican frontier, the principal volcanoes are Tajumulco (4,220 meters); Santa Maria (3,777 meters), which was in eruption during 1902, after centuries of quiescence, in which its slopes had been overgrown by dense forests; Atitlan (3,557 meters), overlooking Lake Atitlan; Acatenango (3,976 meters); Fuego (i.e. "fire," 3,763 meters), which received its name from its activity at the time of the Spanish conquest; Agua (i.e. "water," 3,765 meters), so named in 1541 because it destroyed the former capital of Guatemala with a deluge of water from its flooded crater; and Pacaya (2,550 meters), a group of igneous peaks which were in eruption in 1870. East of the Guatemalan border, the range forms the boundary between El Salvador and Honduras. In El Salvador, the volcanoes form a line well south of the range, where over twenty volcanoes form five clusters. Between the Sierra Madre and the Volcanic line lies a central plateau.

Coachwork by Vanden Plas
The old gentleman had been in contact for a number of years about selling his two Delahayes. He was asking a fortune and Ghislain Mahy wouldn’t hear of it. He would never pay a cent too much for a car. But this time the gentleman meant business. Time was starting to catch up with him and he wanted to find a home for his cars – and quickly. Even so, it was with low expectations that Ghislain reluctantly sent his son Ivan to Oudenaarde to have a look at what was on offer. Ivan found the cars covered in dust in a garage just a stone’s throw from the famous town hall: a Delahaye with Guilloré coachwork and this Delahaye 135M, complete with the original coachwork by Vanden Plas. At that time, it was only 25 years old and its excellent condition meant that the high price was justified. Ivan – like his father, a born negotiator – offered the old man only half of what he was asking and picked up the cabriolet for just 50,000 Belgian francs. He paid even less for the Guilloré.
Although unrestored, the beautifully patinated Vanden Plas has become one of the collection’s finest pieces. Particularly noteworthy are the door handles, elegantly inset into the flanks. Equally intriguing is the semi-automatic gearbox. The gears could be changed with the simple press of a button on the steering wheel, which was surprisingly innovative for 1947.
This 135M was the last Delahaye model to which Vanden Plas added its stylish coachwork. The Belgian branch of the company, with workshops in Brussels and Antwerp, went out of business in 1949. Founded in the 19th century by blacksmith Guillaume Van den Plas, the coach-builder later went on to become the undisputed king of the carrossiers and the supplier of first choice for prestigious companies like Rolls-Royce, Daimler and Bentley, operating from a subsidiary plant in Kingsbury. To make the name more Anglo-Saxon, Van den Plas became Vanden Plas and after the Second World War the company passed in its entirety into English hands. This English branch continued to function after the closure of its Belgian parent company and for many years made bodywork for a series of Austin models. The factory in Abingdon finally closed its doors in 1980. Even so, the name Vanden Plas continued to be synonymous with luxury. For this reason, until 2003 a number of Rover models were also given a Vanden Plas suffix, even though these cars had nothing to do with the late-lamented coachwork house, never mind this coquettish Delahaye!

Here is one of the many scenic views from atop Mount Diablo, Mt. Diablo State Park. Mount Diablo is a mountain in Contra Costa County, California in the San Francisco Bay Area, located south of Clayton and northeast of Danville. It is an isolated upthrust peak of 3,864 feet (1,178 m), visible from most of the San Francisco Bay Area and much of northern California. Mount Diablo appears from many angles to be a double pyramid and includes many subsidiary peaks, the largest and closest of which is the other half of the double pyramid, North Peak, nearly as high in elevation at 3,557 feet (1,084 m) and about one mile northeast of the main summit.
From the Golden Gate to the Farallon Islands, from the High Sierra to the Central Valley—this is the sweeping panorama you can savor from atop Mount Diablo. Geographers claim that hikers can see more of the earth’s surface from the top of Mount Diablo than from any other peak in the world with only one exception: Africa’s legendary 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The far-reaching panorama from Mount Diablo is all the more impressive considering the mountain’s relatively short (elevation 3,849 feet) height. Two reasons for the grand views: (1) the mountain rises solo very abruptly from its surroundings, and (2) the land surrounding the mountain—the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley—is nearly flat.
This particular view--although obscured by the haze and clouds of the day--is looking westward, or perhaps northwesterly probably into the edge of Walnut Creek. As mentioned above, this mountain has the rare exception of taking in quite an expanse of geography. What wondrous sights are available on a clear day!

Coachwork by Ghia - Aigle
One of the stars of the show at the 1948 Geneva Car Show was a breath-taking Delahaye 135MS, a cabriolet with coachwork designed by Ghia in Turin and built by Ghia-Aigle in Valais. A year later, the Swiss subsidiary made a coupé version, based on the same drawings by master-designer Mario Boano. After several years gaining experience at Pininfarina, in 1944 Boano bought the company of his deceased friend, Giacinto Ghia. Later, he would be responsible for such classic designs as the Karmann Ghia and the Ferrari 250 GT. His Delahaye coupé is now regarded as one of the most stylish models in motoring history. A second copy of the coupé was ordered by no less a person than the Shah of Iran, which Ghia built in Turin. If anything, however, the royal blue of the Delahaye cabriolet at the Geneva Salon was even more graceful, as well as being literally unique. The cabriolet had the same half-covered wheels, which you might think would be inconvenient in the event of a flat tyre, but the covers could easily be raised with the simple operation of a handle. An equally simple press of a button was also enough to retract the plate covering the two rear seats, instantly creating more passenger space. Later, this wonderful car disappeared, seemingly without trace.
Perhaps as a result, the Ghia acquired a legendary status among car fanatics as the epitome of four-wheeled beauty and technical ingenuity, lost forever and probably reduced to scrap… Whereas in reality the Delahaye 135MS Ghia-Aigle cabriolet had been safely tucked away for years in the garages at Leuze-en-Hainaut! It was just that no-one knew about it! It was back in the 1970s that Ghislain Mahy exchanged the Delahaye for a Facel Vega with Jan Bruijn, who later went on to found the car museum at Deventer in The Netherlands. The original royal blue is now hidden beneath a top layer and patina of steel blue paint and the half-loose chrome bumper has long since lost its shine. Yet even these defects cannot conceal the innate elegance of the Delahaye and its remarkable design. Before it was moved to Leuze, it was first kept in a factory hall in the Koningsdal in Ghent. A group of young tearaways broke in and smashed the headlights and rear view mirrors of numerous vehicles, including those of this most attractive of cars that was once thought no longer to exist!

Coachwork by Oblin - Brussels
By 1947, it was once again possible for people to start dreaming. The post-war Marshall Plan created a new wave of optimism; the film Out of the Past with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas filled cinemas to overflowing; new buildings were going up everywhere; and big cars were once again driving through the streets. Those who could afford it even had cars specially made for them by famous coachwork builders. Someone who could afford it was the commander of one of the so-called Congo boats – ships on the line between Antwerp and Matadi, a port in the former Belgian colony. He commissioned coachwork from Oblin in Brussels, to be mounted on a French Delahaye 148L chassis. The ‘L’ stood for légère (light), a reference to the shorter wheelbase than for the limousine model. The powerful Delahaye was often used in this way by French and Belgian coachwork specialists, because the French manufacturer did not make coachwork of its own. The coupé for the sea captain was given a front end with fearsome shark’s teeth, anchors on the steering wheel and hubcaps, and a chrome speedboat as decoration for the bonnet’s nose. But the piéce de résistance was the plastic roof that looked like the canopy of a submarine, something that was not only unusual but also slightly curious: the canopy protected the driver and passenger from wind and rain, but not those sitting on the fold-out seat at the back!
By 1968, this Delahaye had been gathering dust and rust for some time in a garage in Bruges. However, the garage’s owner now planned to retire and wanted a final clear-out. As usual, Ghislain Mahy at first thought the asking price was too high, but after some brief negotiation agreed a deal and was soon loading the Delahaye onto his trailer. This garage owner had a curious connection with submarines. The driveway of his home was adorned with a self-made one-man submarine, although it was little more than a few sheets of soldered iron and a glass dome. He had used this mini-sub to smuggle butter from The Netherlands, until he was caught by a customs patrol on the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal! Sadly, he never explained how the submarine on wheels came into his possession.

The lead equestrian statue of King Charles II, is the oldest statue in Edinburgh, and one of the oldest lead statues in Britain. It was erected in 1685 at the expense of the Edinburgh Town Council as a tribute to King Charles II, "formed in the Roman manner, like one of the Caesars"
Equestrian statue of Charles the SecondThe statue was reputed to have come from the Netherlands and recent evidence attributes the statue to the workshop of the famous Dutch sculptor and master carver, Grinling Gibbons. The plinth, in Craigleith sandstone - "ane handsome and fyne pedestill" - was executed by Robert Mylne, the Kings Master Mason in Scotland.
The statue was not completed until a month before his king's death; and the plinth was not ready until after his demise in February 1685. The burgh records of Edinburgh report "the King's majesties statu in metall is raddie to be put up in parliament close".
In total the statue and plinth cost £3,557- 2s-4d Scots, exclusive of a gratuitity paid to William Clerk for his composition of a Latin eulogy to the King, which is inscribed on the east side of the base:
TO CHARLES THE SECOND, MOST AUGUST AND MOST MAGNIFICENT, THE INVINCIBLE RULER OF BRITAIN, FRANCE AND IRELAND, UPON WHOSE BIRTH DIVINE PROVIDENCE SMILED AT THE VERY MOMENT WHEN A STAR WAS CONSPICUOUS IN THE NOONDAY SKY*, AND WHO, AFTER A YOUTH SPENT IN ARMS AFTER HIS FATHER AND AFTER THE LATTER HAD IN THE END BEEN BEHEADED, MAINTAINED HIS OWN RIGHT FOR TWO YEARS WITH ENERGY INDEED BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS; FOR UNABLE TO COPE WITH A REBELLION THAT WAS TOO OFTEN VICTORIOUS, HE WAS COMPELLED TO CHANGE HIS COUNTRY FOR ALMOST A DECADE. ABROAD, HOWEVER, DESPITE THE PACTS, THE WILES, THE THREATS, AND THE MILITARY POWER OF THE USURPER, HE WAS DEFENDED AND PROTECTED BY THE WATCHFULNESS OF HEAVEN, AND AT LENGTH EMERGING LIKE THE SUN, ALL THE BRIGHTER FROM THE CLOUDS THAT HAD ENVELOPED HIM, HE RETURNED TO HIS OWN REALMS WITHOUT ANY SHEDDING OF BLOOD AND SIMPLY THROUGH RECOGNITIONOF HIS LAWFUL CLAIM, WHEREUPON HE ESTABLISHED, ENLARGED, STRENGTHENED AND CONFIRMED THE CHURCH, THE STATE, PEACE AND COMMERCE. THEN, WINNING FAME BY HIS WAR WITH HOLLAND, HE STRAIGHTWAY BECAME ARBITER OF PEACE AND WAR BETWEEN EMBATTLED NEIGHBOURS. FINALLY, WHEN THE OLD REBELLION RECENTLY SHOWED SIGNS OF RECRUDESCENCE, HE CHECKED THE BASILISK WHILE IT WAS STILL IN EMBRYO, CRUSHED IT AND TROD IT UNDERFOOT BY SHEER SAGACITY AND NOT BY FORCE OF ARMS. TO HIM, THEREFORE, A PRINCE OF MARVELS, IN A SEASON OF PROFOUND PEACE AND AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS GLORY [THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED]
In 1766 it was "in great disrepair and in hazard of falling" and in 1769 £8- 12s-6d was paid to Alexander Nicholson for "repairing Charles II and plumber work…" (plumber from the Latin 'plumbum' - lead). And in 1786 John Donaldson painted the statue and pedestal with three coats of ‘strong [white lead] paint’.
The inscription plaque was removed in 1817 to a vault in Parliament House, and in 1824 when the statue and pedestal were in a poor state of repair they were removed to Calton Jail, while St. Giles was being rebuilt.
Later in 1835 when it was rebuilt, £30-6s-6d was paid to the superintendent who was thanked "for his kind and gratious services in supervising the repairs on the Horse, whose symmetry has been rendered more perfect than ever by his attentions".
Major repairs were undertaken in the 1920s when cracks in the lead allowed water to corrode the internal iron armatures, which burst the leadwork.
The most recent repairs were carried out in 2010- 2011. [Info: Edinburgh Museums & Galleries ]

Lothian Buses
Volvo B5LH / Wright Gemini 3
557 - SA15VUH
Seen on route 34 at the Riccarton terminus by Heriot-Watt University.
Lothian's apparent decision to withdraw all their stacked colour screens in favour of simpler, single-screened crystal white displays was the one move I disagreed with during their Fleet of the Future changes in 2018. Up until I took this photo, refurbished and new vehicles have been the only to receive this treatment, receiving new Hanover screens (a rather controversial move in itself given Lothian's previous loyalty to Mobitec products) but they have since turned their attention to all vehicles with the colour screens. The early Volvo 7900s and Gemini 3s were slowly converted to full-white Mobitec displays, without their custom fonts and without the colour. I think it's a real shame because this is one of the things that made Lothian special and unique.
Here I made special effort to see the colour so thanks to the driver who put up the pink 'Part Route', red 'Route Diverted' and yellow 'Limited Stop' as seen here. This photo actually makes for an unusual one - he had some issues with the destination controller and ended up displaying the destination Revelston; I've no idea where that is but I highly doubt it's on the 34!

In 1879 the engineer Emile Delahaye took over a firm established in 1845 that produced machinery for the bricks industry. He named the company after him and converted it to the production of internal-combustion engines and in 1894 he started to manufacture cars. Active until 1954, Delahaye greatly represented, together with Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, and Delage, the French “grandeur” in the motor car field.
The 135 model, both in touring and racing versions, was perhaps the one that granted the highest international reputation to the French marque. The 135 model was clothed with the most “flamboyant” creations of the great French coachbuilders; on the car shown in the Museum, you can note the constructive care which Henry Chapron put in the soft hood: it is possible to fasten it also in the “mylord” position, partially closed to protect the passengers in the rear compartment only.

Coachwork by Oblin - Brussels
By 1947, it was once again possible for people to start dreaming. The post-war Marshall Plan created a new wave of optimism; the film Out of the Past with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas filled cinemas to overflowing; new buildings were going up everywhere; and big cars were once again driving through the streets. Those who could afford it even had cars specially made for them by famous coachwork builders. Someone who could afford it was the commander of one of the so-called Congo boats – ships on the line between Antwerp and Matadi, a port in the former Belgian colony. He commissioned coachwork from Oblin in Brussels, to be mounted on a French Delahaye 148L chassis. The ‘L’ stood for légère (light), a reference to the shorter wheelbase than for the limousine model. The powerful Delahaye was often used in this way by French and Belgian coachwork specialists, because the French manufacturer did not make coachwork of its own. The coupé for the sea captain was given a front end with fearsome shark’s teeth, anchors on the steering wheel and hubcaps, and a chrome speedboat as decoration for the bonnet’s nose. But the piéce de résistance was the plastic roof that looked like the canopy of a submarine, something that was not only unusual but also slightly curious: the canopy protected the driver and passenger from wind and rain, but not those sitting on the fold-out seat at the back!
By 1968, this Delahaye had been gathering dust and rust for some time in a garage in Bruges. However, the garage’s owner now planned to retire and wanted a final clear-out. As usual, Ghislain Mahy at first thought the asking price was too high, but after some brief negotiation agreed a deal and was soon loading the Delahaye onto his trailer. This garage owner had a curious connection with submarines. The driveway of his home was adorned with a self-made one-man submarine, although it was little more than a few sheets of soldered iron and a glass dome. He had used this mini-sub to smuggle butter from The Netherlands, until he was caught by a customs patrol on the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal! Sadly, he never explained how the submarine on wheels came into his possession.

The lead equestrian statue of King Charles II, is the oldest statue in Edinburgh, and one of the oldest lead statues in Britain. It was erected in 1685 at the expense of the Edinburgh Town Council as a tribute to King Charles II, "formed in the Roman manner, like one of the Caesars"
Equestrian statue of Charles the SecondThe statue was reputed to have come from the Netherlands and recent evidence attributes the statue to the workshop of the famous Dutch sculptor and master carver, Grinling Gibbons. The plinth, in Craigleith sandstone - "ane handsome and fyne pedestill" - was executed by Robert Mylne, the Kings Master Mason in Scotland.
The statue was not completed until a month before his king's death; and the plinth was not ready until after his demise in February 1685. The burgh records of Edinburgh report "the King's majesties statu in metall is raddie to be put up in parliament close".
In total the statue and plinth cost £3,557- 2s-4d Scots, exclusive of a gratuitity paid to William Clerk for his composition of a Latin eulogy to the King, which is inscribed on the east side of the base:
TO CHARLES THE SECOND, MOST AUGUST AND MOST MAGNIFICENT, THE INVINCIBLE RULER OF BRITAIN, FRANCE AND IRELAND, UPON WHOSE BIRTH DIVINE PROVIDENCE SMILED AT THE VERY MOMENT WHEN A STAR WAS CONSPICUOUS IN THE NOONDAY SKY*, AND WHO, AFTER A YOUTH SPENT IN ARMS AFTER HIS FATHER AND AFTER THE LATTER HAD IN THE END BEEN BEHEADED, MAINTAINED HIS OWN RIGHT FOR TWO YEARS WITH ENERGY INDEED BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS; FOR UNABLE TO COPE WITH A REBELLION THAT WAS TOO OFTEN VICTORIOUS, HE WAS COMPELLED TO CHANGE HIS COUNTRY FOR ALMOST A DECADE. ABROAD, HOWEVER, DESPITE THE PACTS, THE WILES, THE THREATS, AND THE MILITARY POWER OF THE USURPER, HE WAS DEFENDED AND PROTECTED BY THE WATCHFULNESS OF HEAVEN, AND AT LENGTH EMERGING LIKE THE SUN, ALL THE BRIGHTER FROM THE CLOUDS THAT HAD ENVELOPED HIM, HE RETURNED TO HIS OWN REALMS WITHOUT ANY SHEDDING OF BLOOD AND SIMPLY THROUGH RECOGNITIONOF HIS LAWFUL CLAIM, WHEREUPON HE ESTABLISHED, ENLARGED, STRENGTHENED AND CONFIRMED THE CHURCH, THE STATE, PEACE AND COMMERCE. THEN, WINNING FAME BY HIS WAR WITH HOLLAND, HE STRAIGHTWAY BECAME ARBITER OF PEACE AND WAR BETWEEN EMBATTLED NEIGHBOURS. FINALLY, WHEN THE OLD REBELLION RECENTLY SHOWED SIGNS OF RECRUDESCENCE, HE CHECKED THE BASILISK WHILE IT WAS STILL IN EMBRYO, CRUSHED IT AND TROD IT UNDERFOOT BY SHEER SAGACITY AND NOT BY FORCE OF ARMS. TO HIM, THEREFORE, A PRINCE OF MARVELS, IN A SEASON OF PROFOUND PEACE AND AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS GLORY [THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED]
In 1766 it was "in great disrepair and in hazard of falling" and in 1769 £8- 12s-6d was paid to Alexander Nicholson for "repairing Charles II and plumber work…" (plumber from the Latin 'plumbum' - lead). And in 1786 John Donaldson painted the statue and pedestal with three coats of ‘strong [white lead] paint’.
The inscription plaque was removed in 1817 to a vault in Parliament House, and in 1824 when the statue and pedestal were in a poor state of repair they were removed to Calton Jail, while St. Giles was being rebuilt.
Later in 1835 when it was rebuilt, £30-6s-6d was paid to the superintendent who was thanked "for his kind and gratious services in supervising the repairs on the Horse, whose symmetry has been rendered more perfect than ever by his attentions".
Major repairs were undertaken in the 1920s when cracks in the lead allowed water to corrode the internal iron armatures, which burst the leadwork.
The most recent repairs were carried out in 2010- 2011. [Info: Edinburgh Museums & Galleries ]

Taken from the Costco parking lot in Folsom California just off of East Bidwell and the Freeway.
I mapquested the mountain and I don't know how far it is as the crow flys but to drive to the Summit Museum from Folsom is 95.75 miles
From Wikepedia
Mount Diablo is a mountain in Contra Costa County, California in the San Francisco Bay Area, located south of the town of Clayton and northeast of Danville. It is an isolated 3,849 feet (1,173 m) upthrust peak that is visible from most of the San Francisco Bay Area and much of northern California. Mount Diablo appears from many angles to be a double pyramid and includes many subsidiary peaks, the largest and closest of which is the other half of the double pyramid, North Peak, nearly as high in elevation at 3,557 feet (1,084 m).
The peak is the centerpiece of Mount Diablo State Park, a state park of approximately 20,000 acres (80 km²) in area. The park was the first public open space of a complex -- according to Save Mount Diablo -- now including 38 preserves, including adjacent and nearby city open spaces, regional parks, watersheds, etc., buffered in some areas with private lands protected with conservation easements. Preserved lands on and around Mount Diablo total more than 90,000 acres (360 km²).
Except for distant views from the Central Valley, Mt. Diablo's northwestern double pyramid view is most familiar to California residents. This view however includes a minor part of the mountain's acreage, most of which stretches east and southeast from the summit through Altamont Pass to the rest of the northern Diablo range.
Mount Diablo is a mountain in Contra Costa County, California in the San Francisco Bay Area, located south of Clayton and northeast of Danville. It is an isolated upthrust peak of 3,864 feet (1,178 m), visible from most of the San Francisco Bay Area and much of northern California. Mount Diablo appears from many angles to be a double pyramid and includes many subsidiary peaks, the largest and closest of which is the other half of the double pyramid, North Peak, nearly as high in elevation at 3,557 feet (1,084 m) and about one mile northeast of the main summit.
The Mount Diablo meridian, established in 1851, is the main surveying reference point for much of northern California and Nevada. The initial point is the summit of Mount Diablo.
The peak is the centerpiece of Mount Diablo State Park, a state park of about 20,000 acres (8,000 ha) in area. The park was the first public open space of a complex—according to Save Mount Diablo—now including 38 preserves, including nearby city open spaces, regional parks, watersheds, etc., buffered in some areas with private lands protected with conservation easements. Preserved lands on and around Mount Diablo total more than 90,000 acres (36,000 ha).
On a clear day the Sierra Nevada is plainly visible. (The best views are after a winter storm; a snowy Sierra shows up better, and summer is likely to be hazy.) The southernmost mountain of the volcanic Cascade Range, Mount Lassen, is occasionally visible 181 miles (291 km) away, and people have claimed to see Mount Shasta 240 miles away. (The latter isn't actually out of the question, though mistaken identification is more likely.) People say Half Dome in Yosemite National Park is visible, as it is from Mount Hamilton, but from Mt Diablo it's hidden by the 8000-foot ridge at 37.755N 119.6657W. Eight bridges are visible, from west to east; San Mateo; Bay; Golden Gate; San Rafael; Carquinez; Benicia; Antioch and Rio Vista. San Francisco can also be seen and on very clear days the Farallon Islands 25 miles out to sea west of the City are visible.
Historic claims that the mountain's viewshed is the largest in the world—or second largest after Mount Kilimanjaro—are unfounded. It does boast one of the largest viewsheds in the Western United States and it played a key role in California history. Countless peaks in the state are taller, but Mount Diablo has a remarkable visual prominence for a mountain of such modest elevation. Its recognizable form and looming presence over so much of the bay, delta, and Central Valley, and good visibility even from the Mother Lode, all key regions during the gold rush and early statehood, made it not just a well-known visual touchstone but an important landmarks for mapping and navigation.

Leisure boats,
fishing boats,
ferry boats
and massive European and Russian Factory Fishing boats,
all mingle at Ullapool’s busy harbour with impunity.
This is the view south-east from Shore Street and the Pier.
Some of the mountains of Inverlael and Braemore Forests
can be seen, including the dominant Beinn Dearg, 1084 metres (3,557 feet), on the right.
Most importantly, Ullapool is a superb base to explore the awesome mountain and coastal scenery from Torridon, Loch Maree, Gairloch, Gruinard Bay and An Teallach, to the south,
to Ben More Coigach, Achnahaird, Achmelvich, Cul Mor, Suilven, Quinag and the other ancient monoliths of Assynt in Sutherland, within its landscape of a thousand rock-bound lochans, to the north.
It is not an exaggeration to say that tourism is flourishing here, since the instigation of the North Coast 500 route in 2015.
Booking in advance may well be advised!
Coachwork by Henri Chapron
Found in 1985 in a garage in Monaco, this Delahaye 135 was purchased by Prince Rainier III.
It had been delivered new to the famous soprano of Bulgarian origin Vassilka Petrova (1913-1979).
Bodied as a convertible by Henri Chapron, this car is one of the last examples to leave the factory, production having stopped in 1952.
