local storm sewers were our secret world when was a boy. we had many adventures and hours of fun exploring.
Another storm (Barra) hit day in the north. As I travelled down to Langley Mill the motorway was like a river, but thankfully the rain abated in time for the "Mickey" to pass. Newly outshopped Stanier designed ex LMS '5MT' 4-6-0 no.45231 'The Sherwood Forester' heads towards Langley Mill with the 'Saphos Trains' Carnforth-Chesterfield "Chatsworth Christmas Sparkle Express". The train terminated at Chesterfield with the passengers bused to Chatsworth House for the Christmas display.
After the storm in the late afternoon, the setting sun appeared below the cloudy horizon and momentarily illuminated the autumn tones of the vegetation. Luther Marsh Conservation Area, Ontario.
One good thing
upon another...good thing,
and the sky becomes
a cascade of all emotions baying
for the freedom that attention seeks
erstwhile vying for lost time and space
now a panache stroke across the sky
working a Summer to unlace...
in slakeless fronts abating by the eve
just a trace, if your memory recalls
the wield of this the seventh month
by the Oak of the seventh hour nature enthralls.

Quest’architettura idraulica, interessante testimonianza della storia della Grande Bonificazione ferrarese intrapresa dalla signoria estense, fu costruita nella seconda metà del XVI secolo ed in seguito riedificata, sulla preesistente struttura estense, nella seconda metà del XVII secolo. Posta sul canale di bonifica in prossimità del suo sbocco a mare, la chiavica regolava il flusso ed il deflusso a mare delle acque interne attraverso un sistema di porte a vento, o “vinciane”, che si richiudevano automaticamente nelle fasi di alta marea. Esaurita già all’inizio del 1600 la funzione di chiusa idraulica, sia per l’abbassamento del terreno sia per le modifiche apportate dai Veneziani al sistema idraulico del delta del Po, l’edificio venne utilizzato come torre di guardia, inserito nella muraglia che proteggeva la tenuta di Mesola.
Oggi Torre Abate è circondata da una riserva naturale in cui si trovano specchi d’acqua e vegetazione palustre.
Weather
I've been seeing this sight most mornings. I suspect it will abate soon since it's going to cool down.
Entered this in our local photography club's first competition of the year. Category: digital open. Not a winner. Up against a lot of talent.

Excerpt from luganoregion.com:
The Church of Sant’Antonio Abate is located in Lugano in Piazza Dante Alighieri.
It was built between 1633 and 1676 on the site of an ancient medieval church with an annexed convent of the order of the Humiliati. It was certified from 1295 onwards and given to the Somaschi fathers in 1598. In 1608 the Fathers opened a school, which became famous in the 18th Century, and it was dissolved by the State in 1852 to be turned into a Canton high school. The building (ex-convent) was demolished in 1906 in order to open Via Magatti (1910). The current façade, that was originally left uncompleted, dates back to 1918-1919 and is by the Lugano architect Giuseppe Bordonzotti (1877-1932). Inside, you can admire some impressive altarpieces by Giuseppe Antonio Petrini from Carona, a protagonist of 18th Century painting in Lombardy, as well as paintings by Francesco Antonio Giorgioli from Meride, Carlo Pozzi from Puria in Valsolda and Francesco Maria Bianchi from Varese. The magnificent architectonic illusionistic decoration is by brothers Giacomo Antonio and Antonio Francesco Giovannini from Varese.
The wide stucco decoration in the building dates to 1652. It was carried out by Luca Corbellini and G.B. Bellotto, both from Lugano, and completed by Girolamo Rossi in 1683. In 1923 a plaque was placed on the façade of the sacristy in memory of Alessandro Manzoni, a pupil of the Somaschi school between 1796 and 1798.
There is something very soothing about the beach. The sand slipping away between your toes reminding you time is passing. The forceful waves crashing on the shore and receding reminding you even the biggest problems will abate over time. The sound of birds, the smell of salt in the air, the cool spray of the mist all reminding you to be present and enjoy the moment.
Here's wishing you a peaceful and healthy 4th of July weekend.

Another of the Little Gulls driven into shore on Storm Babet.
They were feeding in the relative shelter along the beach on the falling tide as the storm abated, swooping down and plucking their food from the surface, small invertebrates and other marine life churned up by the storm.
Adult birds have dark feathers on the underwing that helps identify them as such, the younger birds have white moulting into a pale grey before turning black.
A freshwater bird as a breeder despite being the worlds smallest gull they spend the winters at sea, storms pushing them to shore.
Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad Line reached Palm Beach in 1894. The Seaboard Airline Railroad Line laid tracks to Palm Beach as late as 1921-1924. It was after 1921 that the Seaboard Airline tracks reached West Palm Beach. Reference to the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station appears in a book printed in 1926.
S. Davis Warfield was president of Seaboard Air Line and in 1924 Warfield built a cross-state line which serviced West Palm Beach and Miami and Homestead in 1926, making a direct rail connection from one coast to the other, across the state. In 1938 the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline Railroad Line formed a network over Florida. Trains were air-conditioned and streamlined, and power was generated by Diesel-electric locomotives.
Stockholders in the railroad were important Palm Beach residents, and this station combined their taste in architecture, and their desire for service and convenience, for the community related to their vacation and retirement residences.
L. Phillips Clarke, who designed all of the Seaboard Railroad stations, built his first station at Auburndale. The West Palm Beach station appeared in 1924-1925.
The north-south dimension, paralleling the tracks, is approximately 178 feet. It is 43 feet deep, not including (at the sides) a 13-foot platform on the west. The building is mainly one story high, with a single office on a two-story level near the center and a three-stage tower on the south corner of the east or entrance facade on Tamarind Avenue.
The plan is rectangular, divided essentially in half, with express room and baggage room to the left or south, and behind the loggia the two waiting rooms, now one, separated on the east by restrooms and on the west by the ticket office. The loggia surrounds most of the front and ends, and the shed—roofed passenger platform on the rear or trackside.
The City of West Palm Beach, following a purchase of the building in 1988, tapped local architecture firm Oliver Glidden & Partners to head a $4.3 million restoration of the structure. The project was completed and the station rededicated in a ceremony attended by the Florida Governor in April 1991. Architect Robert D. Brown directed the restoration of ornamental cast stone elements, exterior masonry, doors, windows, and iron and tile work. The red clay tile roof was replaced, as were the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Abatement of lead and asbestos was further required to bring the historic structure up to modern building code standards. The restoration effort earned the Florida Trust Award for Historic Preservation in 1994.
In summer 2012, the city finished an improvement project that included the installation of new sidewalks and more than five dozen trees around the building. The improvements were funded with a $750,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, to which the city provided a $150,000 local match.
The station has two side platforms, with access to the station on both sides. West of the southbound platform is a long loop of bus bays serving Palm Tran routes. East of the northbound platform is the station house, a small parking lot, and bus stops for Greyhound Lines buses and Tri-Rail shuttles.

As the snow abated it left this wonderful scene below us - down towards Kinder Low and South Head.
Abate Fetel ist eine Züchtung aus Frankreich und wurde 1866 nach ihrem Züchter, einem Mönch namens Abbé Fétel, benannt. Abate Fetel ist heute vor allem in und aus Italien beliebt und verbreitet.
...
Das weiß gefärbte, saftige und sehr süße Fruchtfleisch hat ein ausgeprägtes und hervorragendes, trotzdem angenehm mildes und schmelzendes, sehr fruchtiges Aroma.
Stimmt !!
