Aid for determining the correct exposure with three fixed and two freely rotatable scales, self-made by Secretary's great-grandfather.
CP empty grain train no.331 is on the pull out of Toronto after making a two car setoff as well as fuelling up the engines and swapping crews. Apparently the leader here had multiple defects reported, one of which being a broken bell button which was being held together by a band-aid. Paraphrasing, but the conversation on the scanner went something along the lines of this:
Crew: "so you want us to just go ahead when there's literally a band-aid holding this button in place? It's kind of disgusting"
West Tower: "That is correct, I'm sure the band-aid is there specifically to hold that button in place, not like it came off someone, the planner said to just go ahead and leave because he's unable to fix it here on the spot".
Never a dull moment around these parts.

WWT Slimbridge.
The Glossy Ibis has become more familiar to birdwatchers following a series of mass arrivals in the 2000s. Increasing numbers of reports since then mirror an increase in the breeding population located in the south-west of Europe. There have been a number of breeding attempts here in the UK. It is likely that more regular breeding will be a feature in the future.
Climate change is thought to have supported the growth in visiting Glossy Ibis to Britain, with milder winters aiding their survival and enabling individuals to attempt breeding attempts the following year. (BTO).
Not as large as I thought it might be. About the size of a Curlew (which surprised me). This Glossy Ibis was in a field north of the entrance road into WWT Slimbridge. Not actually in the main reserve. I believe this is a juvenile bird, it didn’t seem to mind people at all.
By the time I got to it, the sun was already much higher in the sky than I would normally like and there was already a small crowd of people, birders and others watching it. It has been hanging around WWT Slimbridge for a few days now.
This shot is a little bit over-exposed where there’s some water on the beak and a little on the right leg, but I’m ok with that considering! For me this is a first, I’ve never seen one before!
My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.

As the second lock down is eased, the streets in and around central London are returning to life and so with it, can the street photography :) Orange Aid, because of those glasses!!
The Milwaukee Pierhead Light is an active lighthouse located in the Milwaukee harbor, just south of downtown. This aid to navigation is a 'sister' of the Kenosha North Pier Light. The station was established in 1872. It is west of the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and is near the outflow of the Milwaukee River—not far east of where that river converged with the Kinnickinnic River—into the Milwaukee Harbor and Lake Michigan. This light has a round steel tower with a round gallery and a ten-sided lantern. In 1926, the original 4th Order Fresnel lens was transferred to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and that lens is now displayed at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The Fifth Order Fresnel lens—installed in 1926—was removed in 2005. The tower is newly painted circa 2007. The 5th Order lens is said to be on display also at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. According to one source: "The original lantern room had helical bar windows and is believed to [be] the one presently on the Breakwater Light." This is corroborated by the report that the Breakwater Light has a "round cast iron lantern room [that] features helical astragal" in the lantern. A Submarine cable runs from this light to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, upon which a lighted danger warning is displayed. The light was recently painted, circa 2007. From 1872 until 1926, the light had its own keepers. Thereafter, this light, like all of the lights in the harbor, was serviced by the resident Lighthouse keepers who were stationed at the neighboring North Point Light Station until it was automated. The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 2012.

A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks and safe entries to harbors; they also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and use of electronic navigational systems.
British Red Cross emergency relief teams use a boat to distribute hygiene kits – containing toiletries and sanitary items – and bottled water to people trapped in their homes by flooding in Gloucester, 26 July 2007.
That summer, communities from Northern Ireland to the Scottish Highlands, to Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire were covered in dirty floodwater. Our volunteers distributed emergency items, staffed rest centres, and evacuated hospitals and care homes. We also set up a fund to help people recover.

The one in my mind’s eye is a lot more lovely than this one, but this serves as a tickler for the real thing!
Iron made by hand , not cast like most of the decorative lace seen on old buildings . The spear tops which could be cast but the rest is hand fabricated in segments with the aid of jigs and hot riveted together , a real craft and worthy of appreciation .

I spotted this structure in the village of Slaidburn and was intrigued as to its purpose. The sign says 'St John Ambulance'. After asking around the answer is that it is a St John’s Ambulance box. This once stored first aid equipment including a stretcher. This box was placed there way back by the Clitheroe St John Ambulance - Slaidburn being a very isolated village was one that needed such a facility - it was maintained for many years by the local Division who kept it stocked. Originally it would have had a key in a case attached to the door so it could be unlocked in an emergency. With better access by the Ambulance service and a GP facility in the village it eventually fell into disuse. However the box was considered of significance by local people who took on the responsibility for keeping it in good repair. These boxes which came in several sizes, were once to be found at many locations around the country before emergency services became more mobile.

A Royal Air Force C-17 aircraft at RAF Brize Norton is refuelled before delivering humanitarian aid to Cyprus, for forwarding to Northern Iraq in support of Operation Shader.
RAF C-17 aircraft with UK Aid destined for Northern Iraq left RAF Brize Norton and was flown to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus where it would be put onto the RAF Hercules C-130J aircraft and delivered into Iraq.
RAF C-130 aircraft have helped deliver much-needed military equipment to Iraq to assist those in the north of the country combating ISIL extremists.

This was taken with the other picture on Vermunt Stausee Silvretta. Maybe it is boring to show two pictures of the same subject. But when I view to my archive this always leaps to my eye. First I prefer the other one, but now I am with this. I don't know what is the reason, maybe the red aid box, or the line of the stage. I hope you could see it with the first view and tell me...
