Go Cornwall Bus E400 523 WJ65 BYO is seen in East Looe on school route 172. The 172 exists now but as a college run to Callywith and not serving Looe; here I think it was a student-only variant of route 72 which these days is called the 10.
After three months today Big Lemon Volvo B10BLE Wright Renown R846 PRG entered service. It's seen here at Wilson Avenue operating on City College contract.
We are currently in a "get it gone" phase with the thought of moving in the next couple of years. Ran across these pages out of my college sketchbooks from a lot of years ago.

CSX 6147 still in Chessie Cat paint leads CSX train R138 at the signals at College Station in Beaver Falls, PA on October 23, 1992. Those Chessie colors sure looked nice among the fall foliage.
Collège des Bernardins
The Collège of Bernardins, or Collège Saint-Bernard, located no 20, rue de Poissy in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a former Cistercian college of the historic University of Paris. Founded by Stephen of Lexington, abbot of Clairvaux, and built from 1248 with the encouragement of Pope Innocent IV, it served until the French Revolution as the residence for the Cistercian monks, students at the University of Paris.
After an overall renovation completed in September 2008, it is now a place for meetings, dialogues, training and culture, offering a rich program of public conferences and symposia, exhibitions, concerts, activities for young people and a theological and biblical studies center. Since 2009, it houses the Académie catholique de France.
It has been the subject of a classification for French historical monuments since 10 February 1871.

We went up north today to visit the Lyman Plant House and Conservatory at Smith College constructed in 1895. Clicked this shot as we were driving by to the location on the campus.

As promised another from my series of pictures I took at Lancing college chapel.
Lancing College Chapel is one of the tallest interior vaulted churches in the United Kingdom. The apex of the vaulting rises to 90 ft (27.4m) above the floor.[3] The original plans called for a tower at the Northern Side. The foundations, which were laid but not used, would have raised the height to well over 300ft (90m). The chapel design is based on 13th Century English Gothic, with French influences. It follows a standard English Gothic plan, with a triforium and a very high clerestory. The French influences are noticeable not just in the massive clerestory, but also in the apse and the massive rose window on the West End - the largest in the United Kingdom.
The chapel is open daily and attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is open from 10am to 4pm on Mondays to Saturdays, and 12pm to 4pm on Sundays.

As always many thanks to everyone who view, likes and comments on my pictures its very much appreciated.
The gardens of Clare College. As I've said elsewhere, the gardens at Clare are my favourites; though the herbaceous borders, which are the real joy of the place, weren't yet ready when I stomped around this day. Still, the lime trees are quite shapely, aren't they?
The new part of Hertford College, with the quintessential row of bicycles in front of the old part. It was when the new part was built that the Hertford Bridge (or Bridge of Sighs) was built to link the two quads.

Carthage College is a private college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. It enrolls 2,600 full-time and 200 part-time students.
Carthage awards bachelor's degrees with majors in more than 40 subject areas and master's degrees in three areas. Carthage has 150 faculty. It is an affiliate of the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium.
Carthage College was founded in Hillsboro, Illinois, by Lutheran pioneers in education, and chartered by the Illinois General Assembly on January 22, 1847. Originally known as The Literary and Theological Institute of the Lutheran Church in the Far West, its name was soon shortened to Lutheran College and known locally as Hillsboro College. With a two-person faculty and 79 students, Hillsboro promised "a course of study designed to be thorough and practical, and to embrace all the branches of learning, usually pursued in the best academies and colleges".
In 1852, the college moved to Springfield, Illinois, and assumed the name of Illinois State University. During this period, Abraham Lincoln served briefly on the Board of Trustees from 1860 to 1861, while his son Robert Todd Lincoln was a student in Illinois State University's preparatory academy from 1853 to 1859. Illinois State University's enrollment dwindled during the Civil War and closed in 1868. In 1870, several faculty reestablished the college in the rural west-central city of Carthage, Illinois, where the college acquired its current name.
After years of financial challenges, shifts in Lutheran synodical support, and searches for a suitable location, Carthage's board of trustees voted unanimously in 1957 to open a campus in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The lakeshore campus was dedicated on October 14, 1962.
By 1962, the college launched an era of growth. The next decade brought a period of continuous expansion. Enrollment increased fivefold, endowment tripled, and physical assets increased 600 percent. In Fall 1995, Carthage enrolled 1,527 full-time students, setting a new record. Intensive national searches have built a teaching-oriented faculty holding Ph.D.s from major graduate programs across the country. Since 2001, the college has invested more than $130 million in new construction, major renovations and technological acquisition.

The old College at Aberystwyth. I'd have liked to have photographed this a little more square on but the sea was in to far for me to get into position.

The Edinburgh College of Art at dusk, viewed from the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle. The Esplanade is the large area outside the Castle Gates, and can be accessed even after the Castle has closed to visitors for the evening. As it and the Castle sit atop a large volcanic rock, you can take in some splendid views across the city, north and south, from this spot - it's right at the top of the Royal Mile, so if you are ever visiting, it is worth walking up the Mile, enjoying it, then stop at the top at th Esplanade to take in the views.
