Seen on the corner, it's been a Barclays Bank as long as I can remember and a bank in pictures over a century old.
It closes the doors for good in the first week of June 2020. Santander closed their branch further up the road in June 2017, and it still remains empty.
Banks closing in high streets is never good news to residents and local shops.
I waited around for a clear or clear enough shot of these peaks. Didn't quite get the stony faces to come out of the clouds but it was a nice afternoon.
Next time I'll remember to leave the shot over exposed a bit while I'm waiting for clouds to clear. I exposed for the clouded sky and had some over exposed shots because I did adjust for the brighter scene.
as seen from Neys Provincial Park, after sunset. Beyond the tiny Barclay Islands, in the distance you can see the much larger Slate Islands Provincial Park, home to about 200 woodland caribou.

The MDDE Centerville Turn has stopped for lunch in Barclay, MD. This was fortunate as it allowed a clearing to arrive, resulting in the 1st sunny shot, and a few more to follow.
‘Grey’ (Barclay No.1994 of 1931) was supplied to the Durham County Water Board to work on the construction of Burnhope Reservoir in the early 1930s.
At the end of construction it was sold on in 1938 for further use on the Penrhyn Quarry Railway system in North Wales where it acquired the name 'Glyder’
After falling out of use at Penrhyn It was exported, along with a number of other former Penrhyn locomotives, to the USA. After arrival in the US the locomotive was purchased at auction by Tony Hulman (the then owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway home of the Indy 500).
After many years of storage in 2012 a deal was done to see the return of Glyder (along with two other narrow gauge locomotives), finally returning to the UK after years in storage.
Although never a colliery engine Glyder/Grey' isn't far from it's first home, and certainly looks the part shunting around the colliery village in the summer sunshine.

Visiting Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank ‘Caledonia Works’ (Works No.1219 built in 1910) hauling a rake of chaldron wagons through the yard at Beamish, glimpsed from the back yards of the pit worker's cottages. The 'Pug' was delivered new to Stewart & Lloyd’s Ltd. Clydesdale works, Mossend, where it worked with the company's fleet of around ten other four-coupled Barclay locos until it was moved circa 1951 to Andrew Barclay's Kilmarnock works for use as their works shunter. It was acquired for preservation in August 1970 and since then had spent most of it time on a private railway in Cambridgeshire. Since April 2021, it has been resident at the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway.

Driving home from our summit hike of Little Arethusa in the Highwood Pass, we had great light and skies for photographing some of the lovely mountains in the area from the car. We have summited Wasootch Peak, Spoon Needle, Mount Lorette, Mary Barclay's Mountain, and both the north and south peaks of Mount Kidd. The others in the upload are either on the "to do" list, or are climber's mountains, too difficult for scramblers like us.
Barclay Sound is south of Ucluelet and north of Bamfield on the west coast of Vancouver Island and forms the entrance to the Alberni Inlet.

I took a walk in the rain, then rambled through wet brush and crawled over huge slippery rocks for the afternoon and evening. Met a young woman who went swimming in the lake and pronounced it "not as cold as I thought it would be." Spoke to a couple of anglers who passed me on their way back to the trailhead as I was taking a last few photos in the fading light. Good thing I was behind them on the trail -- their car was completely dead, and I was the only other person up there. I gave one of them a ride back to his house near Index so he could pick up his truck and go back and rescue his buddy.
