Who can guess where I went at the weekend then...?
I had one final Northern Rail £10 ticket, and my destination of choice this week was Leeds.
You probably could've guessed that I'd be taking a trip on one of the Volvo B7LA/Wright StreetCar vehicles used on the 72 'hyperlink' service, between Leeds and Bradford!
The vehicles used are a mix of two batches of former 'ftr' branded buses - one batch formerly used on the 4 in York; and the second batch formerly used on the 4 in Leeds. They were moved across to the 72 during late 2012, and certainly provide something a little different in the area!
Here's 19017, seen on Stanningley Road in Bramley, working a 72 to Leeds.
There's 35 photos in this set - one of my bigger sets recently - and to see all the photos, click here!
The Montevetro building completed in 2010 stands at a height of 67 metres and is currently the tallest commercial building in Dublin. It was sold to Google in January 2011 and subsequently renamed "Google Docks". In 2014, the Google Docks building was joined by an "iconic" curving three-pronged steel and transparent glass footbridge to Google's two office buildings across Barrow Street - Gordon House and Gasworks House. It has been named "Hyperlink".

Finally after a few guest appearances on the X6, First Bradford's new batch of Wright Streetdecks finally entered service for real on 24 July 2016. Quite why it took so long for these to enter service is unknown as there has been no real launch for these new buses. I can only speculate they wanted to leave a short gap between the removal of blue Hyperlink branded Wright Streetcars from the 72 before introducing blue buses onto the X6 which has a lot of common, albeit limited stop, sections
24 July 2016 was the date the X6 was reduced to serve Bradford to Leeds only but with a frequency increase to every ten minutes. This was part of a package of changes which saw the 72 reduced to every ten minutes between the two cities and the X63 between Bradford and Huddersfield increased to every 10 minutes to make up for the loss of the X6 through to Huddersfield.
Here we see 35236 on Bradford Road having just left the Stanningley Bypass at Dawsons Corner while heading for Bradford
I know a few folk dislike this dark blue based express livery which First uses in a number of area's but the gold areas and the style of route branding looks fantastic on these buses IMHO and even better in real life.
In 2006, First's big story of the year was the FTR as York received the first batch of the long articulated buses which are the longest in the UK so far as they are 18.75m. One of them 19004 has a special registration plate (B7 FTR) as the B7 in the reg meaning its on a Volvo 'B7' LA underframe which seems to be a stupid chassis to be placed on as the B7LA also found on the Wright Eclipse Fusion is underpowered and with the StreetCar being really heavy, the combination is not practical. However Las Vegas also has Wright StreetCars but these are on the Swiss-built Hess underframes and they are hybrid.
UPDATE: These vehicles are no longer operational in York as they damaged roads so these were withdrawn from York the same way the Citaros did from London after Boris Johnson banished the artics as they were 'dangerous'. But it doesn't mean the end for the StreetCars, as all but about 3 are now on the Hyperlink 72 (Leeds/Bradford).
Sadly 19004 is now withdrawn from use as the 72 service now sees mostly brand new Wright StreetDecks on the route which now carry branding for the city wide "Pulse". And in response, the X6 will in turn see blue buses which also will be Wright StreetDecks. It is not known whether or not this bus will enter service, infact it's life in service was so short, it only lasted 10 years and two months in service whereas the Wright Fusion bodied Volvo B10LAs lasted nearly 10 and a half years.
The Wright StreetCar was launched in 2005 in York for trials on the P&R routes. The demonstrator certainly turned a few heads whilst going round York and other cities around the UK which were trialling these buses also. It was launched in York, Leeds, Swansea and Luton Airport. The StreetCars were built on a heavily modified Volvo B7LA chassis but a very large batch of StreetCars were also launched in Las Vegas, Nevada alongside other British buses like the Enviro500 although those StreetCars were built on the Swiss built Hess chassis and were also hybrids. The StreetCars here in the UK gained their name 'purple people eaters' and also 'purple slugs' thanks to their speed. Like the Wright Fusions, these were initially built for First Group fleets and proved even more troublesome as their built-in ticket machines never worked so conductors were brought in and too the buses proved unreliable and underpowered and were the reason for poor punctuality of service with the routes they were on which often lead to route changes, quite notably in Leeds with route 4 which also led to changes on the 16 as both routes were similar, and since the route 4 was proven unsuitable, the 72 had some changes done to it aswell, thus frustrating passengers.
But to this day only a handful of StreetCars exist, including one from York but its now under Wrightbus' ownership. Luton Airport's are still in service with the rest being scrapped as most didn't quite make it to 10 years, some StreetCars were withdrawn at the age of just 5... The Las Vegas fleet are still going without any controversy or any reliability issues as far as I know.
The route 4 in York has seen many Wright Volvos in its time even to this day. In pre-FTR years, the 4 was the Overground Turquoise line with dedicated rigid Wright Eclipse bodied Volvo B7Ls. One of the buses caught fire and was eventually rebuilt then of course in 2006 these new Wright StreetCars took over, as the route was heavily publicised during this time. But in 2012 second hand Volvo B9TLs from First South Yorkshire took over as the whole fleet moved to Leeds for the Hyperlink 72 service. Today the 4 remains almost the same although the terminus at York University has been altered and the route still sees double deckers with a mixed variety of Volvo B7TLs, B9TLs and heavily rebuilt Gemini 2 DL hybrids.
To this day though, no further Wright StreetCars have been ordered but Translink Metro in Belfast ordered a large batch of similar buses in the shape of articulated Van Hool ExquiCity 18s in purple livery which many compared to the ftr services as Wrightbus even offered the StreetCar to Translink but were left disappointed with the decision for Van Hool to make the new buses.

By Michelle Alton
Felix Wilkins was playing “Anchors Aweigh” on the City Hall Concourse in Suburban Station when I first saw him during my commute.
I had just begun a new job in Philadelphia after a period of unemployment. Raised in Edison, New Jersey, I‘d built my career in central New Jersey pharmaceutical companies as a clinical researcher. Then suddenly, like so many others across the country, one morning I drove to work only to find myself without a job on the drive home. Now I was making a new start, with a whole new understanding of how it felt to be down and out. Perhaps that’s what drew me to the street musician as I still struggled to overcome the confidence loss I’d suffered after the layoff.
In the past, large cities had always been sources of fear and intimidation to me. So coming to Philly each day was opening my eyes to so many sources of its wonderment — and also to its darker, gloomier sides.
A street flutist in Center City, Felix (I did not even know his name at the time) was a tall, lean, older, striking-looking black man. He was usually dressed in a stylish suit, starched shirt, perfectly-knotted tie and matching handkerchief, and had Old Glory draped over his rolling suitcase’s extended handle. He played the notes flawlessly, and every so often a passer-by smiled and placed a dollar bill in his flute case.
I noted that Wednesday was his usual day, and found myself happily anticipating those mid-week mornings. In addition to his patriotic fare, he also played show tunes, other popular music and a collection of national anthems.
An avid amateur photographer, during lunch breaks, I trek about the city with my camera chronicling the “HYPERLINK "http://maltonphotos.zenfolio.com/philadelphia/slideshow"Philadelphia Experience,” for my website. As I became more familiar with the city, my feelings about it changed as well. My photographer’s eye noticed more details and my other senses became more attuned to its sights, smells, textures, and sounds.
On one noon-time jaunt, I was short-cutting through the east entrance of City Hall, camera conspicuous around my neck, headed toward Market Street, when I caught wind of the flutist in the concourse near the souvenir shop.
Noticing my camera as I passed through, he barreled up to me and asked if I would photograph him. “It’s my birthday!” he announced, thrusting his drivers’ license into my hand to prove it. He turned 68 that day. “Will you put my picture on the Internet?”
Happy to accommodate, though a bit wary at first, I made camera adjustments to compensate for the difficult lighting conditions: half dark with midday light streaming in through the low archways. While I snapped shot after shot, the flutist played, on bended knee, by his American flag. Moments later, a heavy-set, mustached man of about 45, sporting a red headband and yellow printed bandana, and leaning heavily on his cane, hobbled into the hallway.
The flutist approached him, and began speaking in Spanish. Suddenly, the man was singing his country’s national anthem, accompanied by the flute player. Though absorbed by the rapport that had sprung up spontaneously between the two men, I just kept shooting until the man finally limped off.
Later that week, as my birthday gift to the flutist, I posted the photos to my website. On the following Wednesday morning, I presented him with two full-color prints, mounted in gift folders. “You’re a good photographer, “he exclaimed, to my great pleasure.
I waved to him as I hustled off to work. But during the next week, my thoughts repeatedly returned to him. One day, on a coffee break, I typed, “Philadelphia + flutist + Suburban Station” into a Google search box to see what I could learn. On the first hit, I read about Felix’s arrest near Rittenhouse Square about three years before. There was no law on the books forbidding the playing of music on street corners, but he had been handcuffed and spent 45 minutes in jail. The next item was a headline announcing that he was being awarded compensation to settle his suit against the city for unlawful arrest. The article went on to say that Felix was a Panamanian musician and a retired professor of music at Brooklyn College. His life was beginning to fascinate me.
I also found rave reviews of his music and several outstanding decades-old recordings. Renowned jazz flutist, Andrea Brachfeld, in an internet interview, explained that Felix had been an early mentor to her in New York, and she credited Felix with having “shown her the ropes” back in 1972. He was so accomplished, —and judging from the mp3s I downloaded, an amazingly talented musician. Now I was determined to understand how such a man had wound up busking on the streets of Philadelphia, playing patriotic tunes for small change and occasional smiles. Convinced Felix had a story to tell, I made it a point to strike up conversations with him on several subsequent Wednesdays, and our chats became warm and friendly. “I’m an ethnomusicologist,” he told me one day, when we were talking outside City Hall. "Whatever is that?" I wondered.
Suddenly energized, Felix, not trying to disguise his passion, explained that you don’t just learn the music -- you learn the geography, culture, cuisine, customs, literature, architecture, and ethnicity of a country. Then, when you play the music, you impart the feel of the region from which it arose. To provide a more visual explanation, he went on “Take music from the Baroque period. It’s a very rough sort of music.” To illustrate, he sang a few sort of choppy sounding segments from a Bach fugue.
“Now look at that baroque carving near that window,” he went on, pointing at a portion of the City Hall façade and growing more animated. “It is also rough, just like the music from that period.” Though I didn’t really understand the analogy, the teacher in Felix was surfacing before my eyes and ears. And I thought, “He is not down and out, or a loser. He actually loves what he does!” Felix speaks fluent Spanish and English, and “gets by” in Greek and Portuguese and can also utter several phrases in a Chinese dialect. I was awed at the knowledge and passion of this man who played for coins in the train station. And although flute is Felix’s major love, he also plays saxophone, clarinet, piano, violin, cello, and other instruments. And he sings! He describes himself as a classical flutist, jazz and dance band performer. As we spoke, he artfully played and sang excerpts from Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Pachelbel, and Chopin.
Then he stood, suddenly switching to Charanga, a spirited Cuban/African dance genre, played on the flute in impossibly high registers. His crocodile leather-clad feet stepped and danced rhythmically in place on the pavement. I looked around in disbelief, astounded that no one on the plaza seemed to be paying any mind to the music. I would have expected other lunchtime shade seekers to be lined up, ears cocked, to hear what was going to happen next. But as I was becoming more and more mesmerized by his performance, they went about the business of enjoying their sandwiches, oblivious to Felix’s performance.
When he finished, we talked some more, and I learned that this man who takes such joy in his music does so in spite of a hard-lived life. That was when I realized the common ground we shared: My passion and gift for photography had carried me through one of the most difficult periods of my life –the sudden loss of livelihood. Could it carry me farther? I think it was at that moment that I began to plan a new chapter in my life.
Born to Jamaican parents in Panama City, Felix’s family lived in a rough neighborhood where his father worked by day as a laborer and played saxophone in local clubs at night. The elder Wilkins didn’t want his children following in his footsteps because of the drug-infused lifestyle typical of nightclub musicians there. But when his father came home one night to find his reed protector wedged into the belly of the horn, he realized that young Felix must have been playing while he was at work. So his father began to teach him Saxophone, but also made him agree to attend vocational school to learn a marketable skill. Felix promised. He became certified as an automotive mechanic and then studied at Panama’s National Conservatory of Music, where his romance with the flute began.
Active in Latin dance bands, most notably in Conjunto Impacto, (Joint Impact), he also played first flute in the Panamanian police band, and dabbled in composition. Some of his work was recorded by other artists.
Ambitious and married with two small children -- a boy and a girl -- his dream was to immigrate to America to play in the big jazz and Salsa bands. Felix brought his family to New York City, where a relative had offered to sponsor him. Supporting himself as a mechanic, and later, working at a bank, he played flute in various bands around the city. He played and recorded with Latin legends like Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, Machito, Patato and Johnny Pacheco. During this time, his flute was also featured in the album Tico Alegre Allstars Live at Carnegie Hall with Joe Cuba. At the same time he began to study music at Brooklyn College, struggling to work full time, attend classes, be a family man, and hone his performance skills by playing in clubs.
So Felix left his day-job and joined the welfare rolls. A divorce from his wife soon followed. When he speaks about the woman he still carries a torch for to this day – 40 years later – his facial muscles flatten and his voice becomes muted as he allows the memory of those painful years to settle on his mind.
“But why,” I asked, “would she not have given you another chance, knowing that you cared so much for her?”
"Well," he offered, “In those days, I was a machismo man.” Felix, like most of us, also had a dark side. I did not question him further on this as I watched the sadness spread across his eyes. I didn’t want to prolong the grief he seemed to be reliving. But he told me that what transpired caused his wife to forbid contact with his children until many years later, when they were grown and had families of their own.
But that grief, I learned, nourished his music. He says he still loved her with all his heart and soul, and to keep his sorrow from overwhelming him, he threw himself into his education. One of his dreams had been to teach music to young people. He returned to Brooklyn College, where he completed a four-year degree in less than three years, earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1977 and eventually accepted a teaching position. He returned to Panama in the mid-1980s where he taught at the U.S.-supported Panama Canal College, the National Conservatory of Music, and the University of Panama. While there, he also played with a consortium called "Jazz Unlimited," and arranged and performed his own salsa version of "Baroque and Blue," a classical and blues fusion composition by the acclaimed pianist, Claude Bolling. In 1994 he returned to the United States, settling in Philadelphia.
He supported himself meagerly, playing gigs with a Cuban dance band called "Foto y su Charanga" and giving private music lessons to both adults and children. He says he loves to work with children because their lives are uncomplicated and they don’t skip as many lessons as adults.
Now, one or two days a week, Felix keeps his performance skills honed by playing on the streets of Center City, Philadelphia. He plays the morning commute in Suburban Station, outside a wig shop near the City Hall exit. In the afternoon, he migrates to the Historic District, where his flute fills the air with patriotic American tunes mixed with World Music. He is retired now, collects a very modest Social Security check, and lives in subsidized senior housing. He still loves to play his flute, saying, “Music is my soul. “If I don’t play, I will lose it,” he explains with a sort of distant look in his dark, expressive eyes. He truly enjoys the smiles and good will of the “regulars” at the train station, and of all who appreciate his warmth, his enthusiasm, and most of all, his spirited playing.
The next week, as I hurry through the train station, I hear in the distance a most heavenly flute rendition of Beethoven's "Fur Elise." As I round the next bend, I spot Felix, perched on a high stack of newspapers outside the wig shop, eyes closed, playing as though to an audience of angels. I stand and listen quietly as he finishes the piece, completely unaware of my presence. It is a brilliant and thrilling performance.

The Grand Canal Docks first opened in 1796. At the time they were the world's largest docks. They fell into decline within just a few decades, due mostly to disuse with the arrival of the railways. The landscape was overwhelmed by Dublin Gas Company's mountains of black coal, along with chemical factories, tar pits, bottle factories and iron foundries. However, bakers and millers maintained business along the southern edge of the inner basin.
By the 1960s, the Grand Canal Docks were almost completely derelict. By 1987, it was decided that Hanover Quay was too toxic to sell. Regeneration began in 1998, when Bord Gáis sold the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) the former gasworks site located in the area between Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Hanover Quay for €19 million. The DDDA spent €52 million decontaminating the land, even though the likely return was estimated at just €40 million. The decontamination took place under the supervision of the Environmental Protection Agency between 2002 and 2006. The process involved constructing an underground wall eight metres deep around the affected area and the contaminated land dug out and removed. By the time the decontamination was finished, an inflated property bubble and increased demand in the area (brought on, in part, by the decision by Google to set up its European headquarters nearby), allowed the authority to sell the land for €300 million. The DDDA injected some of its new wealth into the area's infrastructure including seers, street lighting, and civic spaces.
A number of significant developments have happened since involving the construction of millions worth of real estate, the arrival of several thousand new residents, and the establishment of what is now known as Silicon Docks.
Most of the buildings surrounding Grand Canal Square such as the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, The Marker Hotel, and HQ office development, were developed by McCauley Daye O’Connell Architects. Notable buildings in the Grand Canal Dock area include:
Alto Vetro - The Alto Vetro apartment building was awarded the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland’s (RIAI) Silver Medal for Housing (2007-2008).It was built by the Montevetro developers Treasury Holdings.
Boland's Mill - Boland's Mill was a functioning mill until 2001. The site, including older stone buildings and taller concrete silos, is now derelict. The site is currently undergoing a €150 million reconstruction to become Bolands Quay, accommodating new residences, commercial, retail, and civic spaces.
Bord Gáis Energy Theatre - The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is the largest theatre in Ireland. It designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Liebeskind. It was opened as the Grand Canal Theatre in 2010 but renamed in March 2012 as part of a paid naming rights agreement.
The Factory - The Factory houses Irish Film and Television Network studios, as well as rehearsal and recording studios where a number of U2's albums were recorded.
Google Docks - The Montevetro building completed in 2010 stands at a height of 67 metres and is currently the tallest commercial building in Dublin. It was sold to Google in January 2011 and subsequently renamed "Google Docks". In 2014, the Google Docks building was joined by an "iconic" curving three-pronged steel and transparent glass footbridge to Google's two office buildings across Barrow Street - Gordon House and Gasworks House. It has been named "Hyperlink".
The Marker Hotel - The Marker Hotel is one of only six of The Leading Hotels of the World in Ireland. It was designed in 2004 by Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus. It opened in 2013, and offers the city’s first rooftop terrace and bar.[
Millennium Tower - Millennium Tower is an apartment building located on the Grand Canal outer basin. At 63 metres in height, it was the tallest storied building in Dublin from 1998 - 2009. [I dislike it].

It is always fascinating to watch a spider's geometrical hyperlinks that it creates to survive for its daily meal. Today, I spotted a small web on the window grill after almost 3 years. It was about 20+ circles built in a compact space with so much precision and was very challenging for my macro lens to cover the entire web. The spider can teach us a lot on minimalism. If only our human designers can learn how to use space effectively :)

Introduction
Gospel Movie Trailer | God Is My Rock and Salvation | "Perilous Is the Road to the Heavenly Kingdom"
Christian Zhong Xin is a preacher in a house church in mainland China. He leads his brothers and sisters to investigate the true way and determines that Almighty God is the return of the Lord Jesus. However, some are perplexed by the CCP government's and religious circle's mad resistance to and condemnation ofThe Church of Almighty God. By reading the words of Almighty God, and by listening to the fellowship of witnesses from The Church of Almighty God, they understand the root cause of mankind's defiance of God, they see clearly why the road to the kingdom of heaven is full of hardships, and they come to have discernment about the truth-hating, God-opposing essence of the CCP's satanic regime and the leaders of the religious world. At last, people such as Zhong Xin have resolutely accepted Almighty God's kingdom gospel.

The Grand Canal Docks first opened in 1796. At the time they were the world's largest docks. They fell into decline within just a few decades, due mostly to disuse with the arrival of the railways. The landscape was overwhelmed by Dublin Gas Company's mountains of black coal, along with chemical factories, tar pits, bottle factories and iron foundries. However, bakers and millers maintained business along the southern edge of the inner basin.
By the 1960s, the Grand Canal Docks were almost completely derelict. By 1987, it was decided that Hanover Quay was too toxic to sell. Regeneration began in 1998, when Bord Gáis sold the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) the former gasworks site located in the area between Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Hanover Quay for €19 million. The DDDA spent €52 million decontaminating the land, even though the likely return was estimated at just €40 million. The decontamination took place under the supervision of the Environmental Protection Agency between 2002 and 2006. The process involved constructing an underground wall eight metres deep around the affected area and the contaminated land dug out and removed. By the time the decontamination was finished, an inflated property bubble and increased demand in the area (brought on, in part, by the decision by Google to set up its European headquarters nearby), allowed the authority to sell the land for €300 million. The DDDA injected some of its new wealth into the area's infrastructure including seers, street lighting, and civic spaces.
A number of significant developments have happened since involving the construction of millions worth of real estate, the arrival of several thousand new residents, and the establishment of what is now known as Silicon Docks.
Most of the buildings surrounding Grand Canal Square such as the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, The Marker Hotel, and HQ office development, were developed by McCauley Daye O’Connell Architects. Notable buildings in the Grand Canal Dock area include:
Alto Vetro - The Alto Vetro apartment building was awarded the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland’s (RIAI) Silver Medal for Housing (2007-2008).It was built by the Montevetro developers Treasury Holdings.
Boland's Mill - Boland's Mill was a functioning mill until 2001. The site, including older stone buildings and taller concrete silos, is now derelict. The site is currently undergoing a €150 million reconstruction to become Bolands Quay, accommodating new residences, commercial, retail, and civic spaces.
Bord Gáis Energy Theatre - The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is the largest theatre in Ireland. It designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Liebeskind. It was opened as the Grand Canal Theatre in 2010 but renamed in March 2012 as part of a paid naming rights agreement.
The Factory - The Factory houses Irish Film and Television Network studios, as well as rehearsal and recording studios where a number of U2's albums were recorded.
Google Docks - The Montevetro building completed in 2010 stands at a height of 67 metres and is currently the tallest commercial building in Dublin. It was sold to Google in January 2011 and subsequently renamed "Google Docks". In 2014, the Google Docks building was joined by an "iconic" curving three-pronged steel and transparent glass footbridge to Google's two office buildings across Barrow Street - Gordon House and Gasworks House. It has been named "Hyperlink".
The Marker Hotel - The Marker Hotel is one of only six of The Leading Hotels of the World in Ireland. It was designed in 2004 by Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus. It opened in 2013, and offers the city’s first rooftop terrace and bar.[
Millennium Tower - Millennium Tower is an apartment building located on the Grand Canal outer basin. At 63 metres in height, it was the tallest storied building in Dublin from 1998 - 2009. [I dislike it].
PHOTO TITLE: "Magnus W. Killobyte: The Mercenaut (2 of 5) - Mego Micronauts Custom Action Figure.
Micronauts-inspired Photoshopped artwork by me, "Argonaut X".
Created on Tuesday, 08.25.2009
ABOUT THIS ACTION FIGURE:
Several months ago, I had a huge pile of extra Micronauts parts available, so I constructed this figure from a wide assortment of odds & ends. None of the pieces were cut, glued, altered or painted in any way. Magnus stands 10.5 inches tall and has at least 25 points of moveable articulation. Along with his weapon and shield, I used 85 genuine Mego Micronauts parts to put it together.
WANNA BUILD YOUR OWN MAGNUS W. KILLOBYTE?
You'll need parts from the following Mego Micronauts toys (click on these blue hyperlinks to learn more about them):
* BIOTRON
* HYDRA
I welcome your comments. Thanks for looking.
Probably the greatest seldom used feature in flickr is its simple ability to add notes to an image that appear when the mouse moves over a designated part of a photo. Obviously, you see it in use here.
It is a matter of (1) clicking Add Note; (2) Use the mouse to move and resize the "hot spot" area; and (3) write the text (can contain hyperlinks written with HTML tags.
I cannot imagine a subject taught in schools that does not have some need to provide information related to parts of an image or diagram. And since you can link them to other images or web sites, it can be part of an intensely linked piece of content. There is no other multimedia tool that makes it as easy to use as flickr.
And depending on your flickr account settings, you can make it so other flickr users can add notes to your images (maybe a way of adding feedback? or of providing information about a specific feature in a photo?)
So how about some examples? One of the greatest was done by Art History teacher Beth Harris who used it to provide explanation for areas of historic paintings or had her students provide the analysis of symbolism in other paintings (see module 2 example). Or see another example used in an Archaeology class to label a field site. When I discovered this, I made an example of an annotated diagram of volcano types. Tim Lauer thought of an idea to use this feature to help substitute teachers identify students.
David D Muir used notes when he analzyed technology in a classroom. Ewan McIntosh has an example for a painting of Ivory, Apes and Peacocks, John Duncan where the notes provide both explanation and commentary
Or a tasty example- Bertrand Sereno annotates collages of the steps in a recipe, such as Tarte Au Citron.
So give it some thought-- in what ways can labeling a diagram or photo be useful? And where might it makes sense to invite others to add notes?

Another shot from the cab in Montego Bay, in sharp, but unfocused contrast, to the gal a few streets away. This morning I was wondering how to create a single word link to another photo rather than the cumbersome and unsightly URL thing. Thank-you ratsj for such fine directions on how to create a hyperlink.
First group have already placed batches of the integral Wrights Streetdeck vehicle, in Bristol , Norwich and Leicester, these with various full front colours with the refreshed livery. Two batches are in the more striking blue express livery, one in Bristol and a special two tone blue used on the Rotherham vehicles on the 'Steel link' service.
This new vehicle comes with the Mercedes-Benz 5 litre OM934A engine, with one of three transmission choices, the 4 speed Voith, a six speed ZF Eco-life and a new Daimler G90AMT gearbox. Wrights own new shape Gemini3 bodywork is used on the Streetdeck, with an option on the interim rounded Gemini3 front end.
First West Yorkshire began to receive there first examples from May 9th 2016, these were held in store at Bowling Back Lane depot in Bradford. It was here that the buses were prepared for service in Leeds, which was Friday 13th May 2016, using two examples on the 72 'Hyperlink' service.
After a few round trips on the 72, 35219 is seen heading back to Bramley depot for a break, fuel top up and interior sweep up before being parked for another day on duty.
