Rafah Exodus
7th January 2009
Shortly before midnight last night missiles began raining down on Rafah in one of the heaviest Israeli air strikes since the current atrocities began. Continuous sorties pounded the southern Gaza city for over 12 hours. Many homes were destroyed or severely damaged, especially in the neighbourhoods along the border with Egypt.
Residents reported mass leaflet drops in these neighbourhoods by Israeli 'planes this afternoon. The papers ordered them to leave their homes in the areas stretching from the borderline all the way back to Sea Street, the main street running through the heart of Rafah, parallel to the border. This area is hundreds of metres deep and the site of thousands of homes. Most of these areas are refugee camps, where residents are being made refugees yet again, some for the third or fourth time following the mass home demolitions of 2003 and 2004 by Israeli military D-9 bulldozers.
A three hour respite was announced in the local media and residents saw this as the last possible opportunity to salvage some of their belongings despite F-16 fighter jets remaining in the skies over Rafah during this time. There were scenes of people picking through the rubble, children carrying bundles, donkey carts piled with bedding and trucks loaded with furniture.
Where will these families go? They are afraid to seek sanctuary in local UNRWA schools following yesterday's massacres in Jabaliya. They are being temporarily absorbed by the rest of Rafah's population – friends, neighbours, relatives. We have a friend in Yibna, directly on the border, who refuses to leave his home. We spoke to one woman in Al Barazil who has a family of 12 and simply doesn't know where to go and another woman in Block J who is literally in the street tonight. Her father is in his nineties.

And one last Lord of the Rings shot from our Pelennor Fields tour!
The largest and most important battle in the War of the Ring, the Battle of Pelennor Fields was also one of the largest filming endeavours in the movie trilogy. Due to the vast number of participants and the scale of the battle, some articles were destined to be left behind. Years after the filming and release of the trilogy, the property owner (it's a sheep farm, after all) discovered several prop spears. I kept my eyes peeled for assorted weapons and the like, but the closest I could get to photographing the aftermath of the battle was to use one of the props from the tour company.
One of my favourite watering holes - The Ship Inn, Highley, Shropshire after a devastating fire broke out at 05.00 Thursday 21st July.
The fire crews attended very quickly from various stations including Wyre Forest, Cleobury Mortimer and Bridgnorth.

Logs and chain lying on the site of the replacement work on Rosendale Road railway bridge "No.2" (West Dulwich, London).
The replacement bridge replaced a previous one (1950s-1960s) in January 1914. This in turn had replaced the even older original one (1866).
The logs here were sawn from one of the horse chestnut trees that line Rosendale Road, as it was close to the bridge and obstructing the work. The tree wasn't removed completely and in any case these trees are regularly pollarded anyway. But it did reduce this particular tree to a rather stumpy remnant.

ROSENDALE ROAD RAILWAY BRIDGES
There were three railway bridges over Rosendale Road, two of which still exist. They don't appear to have names, so I have numbered them arbitrarily.
"No.1", the most northern one is out of view here (see accompanying photos).
"No.2" is out of sight to the L of this picture (but see accompanying photos). It was built in 1866 for the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. The original structure was very ornate structure in cast iron (see the photo in Edwin Course's article, below). The original bridge was designed by Charles Barry Junior. The large sums paid by the then railway company (London, Brighton and South Coast Railway) for construction of its line across the Dulwich Estate, with other bridges matching this one, enabled the Estate to build the present main building of Dulwich College (1857-1866).
"No.3" was demolished some time after 1966. It was very ornate in cast iron, and was immediately adjacent to "No.2". It ran L-R almost above where I took this shot. An iron plaque on the bridge bore the date 1891. It carried coal trains of the former London and North Western Railway into Knight's Hill Sidings and its former coal depot.

RAILWAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT WORK IN DULWICH & HERNE HILL, JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2014 (33/39)
This bridge, and two further sister bridges carrying the same line over neighbouring streets, had been in poor condition for some time, and after a period of preparation work, they were completely replaced in January 2014. Two neighbouring streets, one of them a busy main road, were closed to traffic concurrently for about two weeks, and another was closed for work on the third bridge shortly afterwards. They were also closed to pedestrians at weekends. To minimise disruption to train services, the main replacement work was carried out night and day in continuous shifts over two weekends.
The main replacement work took place in the night in the early hours of January 19th 2014. Huge hydraulic cranes had to come from Scotland (James Jack, Ainscough) to do this engineering work because there were no cranes available nearer to London capable of handling the old and new bridges.

While I was driving through Jersey City on my way to Bayonne the other day, this wreckage caught my eye. The aftermath of a fire at a chemical factory, I'm guessing about six years ago from indications painted on tanks. The entire complex is marked for demolition, but I guess there's no money for that, so it just sits as an eyesore and rots.
Two shot panorama. View it large.
The day after I made this picture, I read in the daily newspaper that a young girl drove her Dad's car right through this store's windows. The large display widow was totally smashed and the outdoor electric box was damaged.
It must have been quite a shock for all involved in the accident.
I hope there were no casualties.
