The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.

B&P 3101 leads the Southbound turn to Silver Springs at DL&W Jct in Pavilion, NY on December 19, 2019. It's hard to tell, but there used to be a bridge over the tracks about where the 4th unit is. The DL&W crossed this ex BR&P line on that bridge. There was also once an interchange here too, all has vanished long ago. I used to like to photograph the Southbound RS-97 Chessie train from the bridge.
May I introduce you to Olli B. Bommel... Een Heer van Stand (a gentleman of standing), as he calls himself.
I had been searching for him for a while.
While scrolling through the internet, I came across a site that sells different brands of bears, including Steiff bears... Suddenly, the image of Olli B. Bommel appeared on my screen. There was only one copy, and now it's mine! Lucky me!!!
Olli B. Bommel has a good friend named Tom Poes. I hope to find him somewhere someday.
You can read about who and what Olli B. Bommel is at the link below. He is a creation of Maarten Toonder. Three thousand of these special edition Steiff bears were made especially for the Netherlands.

Something a bit different today as we take a look at the dome of Sizewell B nuclear power station. The imposing landmark occupies an odd space on the prettified Suffolk coastline, and I captured this whilst walking between the idyllic holiday village of Thorpeness and the thriving Minsmere nature reserve. Captured with my 400mm wildlife lens, stitched from around 8 shots...

This B-25 was one many of thousands that saw service during WWII and after the war this plane was decommissioned and saw decades of mundane service as a crop duster in Florida and near the end of it's useful life was brought by a collector and after years of dedicated work was restored to it's pristine condition.
è Venezia.
Unique, not rare
it's Venice.
