I feel like a yank with this title, this was taken in Trafford Park,Manchester :-)
Here is a link to the history of The Village which was a residential area until 1984. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafford_Park#Trafford_Park_Village
Where I live... a couple blocks south and you're in the Somalian ghetto, a half-block north and it's an Art School.
This is about as close to a Minnesota sunset as you'll get in February.
I also sold my old boom arm and replaced it with a nice Avenger boom, and it works wonders.
Three (3) pics of the various BMW's I've owned over the years (first two in Japan; latest in the USA).
All M-Sports.
65th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, front line, in the Battle of the Kumsong Salient about a week to week and one-half before Dick Gallmeyer radioed the "Cease fire" that ended the shooting phase of the Korean War on 27 July 1953.
Following massive attacks by the Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) that had literally destroyed some U.N. units, and forced the MLR southward by several miles in but a few days time, our 3rd Infantry Division was sent into the battle as a blocking action. The CCF ran up against the 3rd Division and was stopped. The 3rd Division historian, W.F. Strobridge, stated, "The enemy offensive ran up against the 3rd Division and stopped.... The 65th Regiment took an estimated 20,000 rounds of enemy artillery and kept its ground."
For geographical location, please see my "Map: Korean War, Battle of the Kumsong Salient, July 1953 " further down the page.
This photo shows 65th IR bunkers, tents, and other shelters on the sharp ridge crest that constituted the front line. If you look carefully, you can see an artillery forward observer on the rocky knoll near the center of the photo, spotting CCF targets for our artillery to fire upon. My brother-in-law, Jerry Hartman, a 105mm howitzer gunner with the 58th FAB, and I visited with the forward observer for a while. He pointed out to us the flashes of CCF howitzers that were firing at our lines. All the mountains out in front of us were CCF territory. The white smoke on the left side of the photo is from one of our artillery rounds exploding on a CCF position across the "No-mans-land" valley floor that separated the U.N. and CCF.
Across the "No-mans-land" valley, just to the right of the rocky knoll in the photo, is Hill 433 where American and ROK forces known as the "Lost Bastards" were trapped by the CCF. They were rescued on 20 July, 1953, very near to the time I took this photo.
Behind us, in the valley to our south, our 3rd Division artillery units were engaged in heavy fire missions supporting our troops on the MLR. From that valley came the continual lightning flashes of our howitzers, and the rumbling thunder of their barrages. For me, standing on that mountain ridge absorbing the thunder of our power, hearing our artillery rounds whooshing directly over our heads to then explode on CCF positions, sensing the very mountain quaking with the thunder of America's power, and witnessing our troops holding the line, was an awe-inspiring experience.
I've often thought of that experience down through the years. Today, even after the passage of nearly 60 years, it yet remains the single-most inspiring day of my life.
Huge congrats to HIFK defenceman Miro Heiskanen for being selected 3rd overall by the Dallas Stars in this years NHL Draft! It's been a joy to get to photograph Miro and see him develop these last few years, first in the juniors and last year in the Liiga.
Weybourne Signal Box on the North Norfolk Railway, 3rd August 2016. The box was built by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway in 1913 and was previously located at the original Holt station. It was moved to Weybourne in 1967 and is fitted with a 30 lever mechanical frame, manufactured by Saxby and Farmer Limited in 1882 hence was secondhand when fitted to the box in 1913.

I didn't have a tripod with me so I stuck my camera onto a railing and did only 5 frames since each image took 15-30 sec exposures.
Technical: 100 ASA, f 6.3, 30 sec
The sky is light up by SOMA and downtown, I think that is why it's more orange than the South photo.
The Jardin du Luxembourg, also known in English as the Luxembourg Gardens, is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The garden today is owned by the French Senate, which meets in the Palace. It covers 23 hectares and is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its circular basin, and picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 1620.

I nearly uploaded this picture upside down, but on reflection (!) thought it looked best the right way up, lol!
