I lived in Cambridge then and stalked this shot for months. There were always cars and lorrys parked in the way. Finally, one morning the street was clear and as an added bonus, the cherry was in full bloom. My quintessentially English scene. Note that one of the phone boxes was even in use in those days! This is St. Mary the Great Church (known as Great St. Mary's or GSM) taken from near the market square.
Shot on Fuji Velvia 100 film with my whizzy Canon camera that had eye-controlled autofocus (the EOS Elan IIe).
The ZVL emerges out of the tunnel at Cambridge, Ohio on a rare Saturday run east of Zanesville. The train will cross Wills Creek in the foreground, a tributary of the Muskingum River.
The tunnel most likely dates back to 1854 when the Central Ohio Railroad hastily completed a railroad between Columbus and the Ohio River at Bellaire. Due to numerous rockfalls, a large portion of the tunnel had to be daylighted. The Central Ohio would ultimately become part of the B&O in 1866 and remained an important Cincinnati-Pittsburgh connection until the Chessie abandoned the railroad east of Cambridge in 1983.
A little scene from outside St Andrew the Great church in central Cambridge. Graduation day, which works well with b+w film. Plenty to see here, ice cream stall, people, old buildings, scaffolding etc.

The tower on the right is part of the Pembroke College Auditorium and the lower one to the left is situated on the Pitt building. But the rest of the buildings are part of Peterhouse. It really is just a stone'e throw between the sights of this town.
The shot is taken from Coe Fen, next to the river Cam.

2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the Remembrance Poppy in Canada
Madame Anna Guérin, later christened "The Poppy Lady from France", inspired by John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields", had an idea: to adopt the distribution of the Poppy on Armistice Day as a way to raise money for Veterans' needs and to remember those who had given their lives during the First World War.
In July of 1921 the Great War Veterans Association (which in 1925 would unify with other Veteran groups to form the Canadian Legion) adopted the Poppy as the flower of Remembrance.
Since then, the Legion and its members have upheld this tradition of Remembrance.

The Leper Chapel in Cambridge, also known as the Leper Chapel of St Mary Magdalene, is a chapel on the east side of Cambridge, England, off Newmarket Road close to the railway crossing at Barnwell Junction. It dates from about 1125.
The chapel was part of the buildings of a leper hospital that stood a little beyond the outskirts of the city on the road to Bury St Edmunds. Parts of the east wall are original, but most of the rest of the chapel was rebuilt in the 13th century. It still retains many Romanesque features.
In 1199 the chapel was given royal dispensation by King John to hold a three-day fair in order to raise money to support the lepers. Starting in 1211, the fair took place around the Feast of the Holy Cross (14 September) on Stourbridge Common which lies a little way behind the chapel and continues down to the River Cam.
Lamp on the Cambridge pub in Mullberry Street. It's an attractive area with a mix of modern and Georgian buildings. In another life I used to visit this pub.

A punt is a long wooden boat with a flat bottom. They were initially used by fishermen and traders to transport cargo and goods along the River Thames. At around the turn of the 20th century, they were adopted as a pleasure craft in English towns such as Cambridge.
