Oh how we all look back at times like this and wish for a return to the normality of it all!
Anyway Plymouth's famous Barbican on a cracking Summers day, Plymouth Discovery Tours East Lancs rebodied Leyland Leopard.
It was a beastly sounding machine, a shame this service didn't last, I guess not having an open top vehicle made it less attractive to punters particularly when the weather is this nice!
This is the 'fort van Bornem'. A huge 'ruin' remade into a vacation refuge with fun little vacation houses where you can take long walks and fish..
I recently returned from one of the world's great birding meccas - Ecuador. It is a small country but it has an astonishing variety of bird species, incredible diversity packed into a relatively small area.
I saw dozens of species during my trip and that was only scratching the surface of the breathtaking variety Ecuador has to offer. I am already looking forward to a return trip.
In this photo, we see a beautiful male beryl-spangled tanager. The males and females in the species are very similar - the females being slightly duller blue. The species has a large range from Venezuela in the north to Bolivia in the south.
This Bergonia looked magnificent in the late afternoon light. Miss Beryl Bergonia was positively beaming.
I've looked for this beautiful Grizzly Sow for a year.......and this past weekend I finally got to photograph her and her one surviving triplet Cub from 2014. Be still my heart!
left my job early to try and get down to the shore and attempt to get some awesome shots as TS Beryl came along shore in 2012 along the Savannah Georgia area.
the beach was deserted and the storm surge was beginning to swallow the beach. I caught the first feeder band of the storm approaching shore with the storm warning flags out. this is one of my top 5 personal favorites.
From Cycling March 2, 1974. Same year I got to share the road with her while she was checking out the road course In Montreal. When I force myself to go out on every possible winter day, she is the role model I’m holding in my mind,

Beryl Spring is an active, attractive thermal feature along the west side of the Gibbon River. The very small basin is part of the Formation Hot Springs group of thermal features, most of which are on the east side of the river. The site, within a 5-second stroll from the disproportionately generous parking area, is especially easy to visit.
The water spouting from Beryl's red-coned vent, slightly uphill from the spring-proper, is "super-heated" meaning it achieves boiling temperatures while underground, but cannot technically boil, i.e., vaporize via bubbles, due to high atmospheric pressure conditions within Beryl's "plumbing." When it finally reaches the vent it bubbles vigorously and makes a rapid, steaming escape with an unbroken loud hiss.
The color of the pool is reminiscent of its namesake aquamarine gem. The feature is a crowd-pleaser!

Born in Walthamstow, Beryl Swain was noted for being the first solo woman to compete in a TT race on the perilous Isle of Man TT course, a rare occurrence to this day on one of the world's most famous closed public road races.

The focal point in the Beryl Burton memorial garden close to Morley's town centre. The best cyclist the world has seen. Championships galore spanning four decades. Beryl died of heart failure age 58 in 1996 while delivering invitations to her 59th birthday party on her bike.

1960s I think. Looking quite predatory, at the height of her powers. Her unique hand position in evidence.
According to documents from Trove (trove.nla.gov.au) on the 17th of Nov 1954, the Barrier Miner newspaper reported:
Within a week Broken Hill will have a self-service ice depot. The Broken Hill Ice and Produce Company has erected a depot on the corner of Sulphide and Beryl Streets and it will be in operation day and night. Blocks of ice, named by the company "household blocks," of 20lb will be sold at 1/ a block. There is no limit on the number of blocks that can be purchased. Three slides will be in operation carrying the blocks down chutes from the inside of the machine into trays. Each slide will work alternately and the total number of blocks on the slides at any one time will be 120. A thousand blocks will be stored inside the depot. To work the machine a shilling coin is inserted into a slot on a switch near the trays. When the coin is inserted the customer pushes a button on the side and turns a handle once complete revolution. The ice will then slide into the trays provided. The switch is designed to take an amount from 1d. to 1/11, but as a matter of convenience only a shilling piece will be able to be used. The price of 1/ a block is below the usual price of ice. At the iceworks a 281b block of ice can be purchased for 1/8. At the depot the "house-hold block" will cost 1/. The 20lb block will fit all ice chests and ice boxes generally in use in the city.
Storage
A building for storing the ice was necessary for the operation of the machine, and the Ice and Produce Co. erected a special storeroom 20ft long, 10ft wide and 8ft high. The room is insulated and coiled with 480ft of 1¼in pipe. A self-contained condensing unit keeps the room at an even 26 degrees in temperature and the ice will slide down into the trays on stainless steels runners. Stainless steel is used so it will not rust and so cause the ice to stick. Directions for the operation of the machine are being sign-written on the front of the depot, which will be lit by fluorescent lighting, near the switch. As far as the Ice and Produce company knows this machine will be the first one in use outside a metropolitan area. It is being used with success in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
No Problems
The manager of the Ice and Produce Company (Mr. C. G. Davison) said "One of the reasons that the depot has been installed is because of the difficulty which has been experienced by the company over a number of years in ice delivery. Many people who have not been able to obtain delivery of ice in the past will now be able to collect ice themselves at any time of the day or night." He said the company was anxious to see how the depot would be accepted by the people and that it would be in operation in about a week. Any defect in the City's electrical supply will not hamper or interrupt the service of the depot as it is manually operated. The corner of Beryl and Sulphide Streets has been brightened up considerably with this structure which is painted cream.
In later years the building was occupied by Mario Celloto, owner of the famous Palace Hotel from 1973 - 2004, and the neighbouring Mario's Hotel-Motel on Beryl Street.

This unusual little engine is possibly the earliest example of a standard gauge F.C.Hibberd 'Planet' locomotive in preservation.
It was built in 1937 but thought to be a rebuild from 1917 ex-WW1 military stock.
The engine uses both petrol and paraffin. Starting on petrol, the engine is then switched to paraffin fuel, being switched back to petrol just before shutdown so that the carburetor will be full for the next start-up.
The engine worked for many years at the Bournemouth Gas & Water Company's Pitwines site. Natural gas eventually made coal gas redundant and the site was closed and demolished in the 1970's.
The engine was acquired in 1976 by the Swanage Railway, becoming the railway's first locomotive.

The time of orange hazy days with magic in the air is upon us, when we return to nature and become a creature of the earth, celebrating the coming of the autumnal equinox.
These deer antlers are adorned with an array of crystals spiraling along them in 22 colors. The antlers themselves have 10 colors, 5 earthy colors and 5 more on the fantasy side.
Each antler can be positioned individually for easy fitting!
