St George's Hall
In 1969 the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner expressed his opinion that it is one of the finest neo-Grecian buildings in the world.
St George's Hall stands 169ft long and 74ft wide with a tunnel vaulted ceiling – the largest of its kind in Europe. The ceiling is supported on massive red granite columns, with figures portraying qualities Victorian Liverpool aspired to – art, science, fortitude and justice.
The Hall houses a priceless Minton mosaic tiled floor of 30,000 tiles. When the unique floor was uncovered, in 1954, to mark the Hall's centenary, more than 100,000 people queued to see it.
The Hall is also home to a concert organ second only in size to the organ in the Albert Hall.
In 2004 the hall and its surrounding area were recognised as part of Liverpool's World Heritage Site.

Queen Victoria
(1819–1901)
by Thomas Thornycroft, 1869
Bronze on a granite pedestal.
This striking sculpture of the young Queen Victoria riding side-saddle was commissioned to match the one of Prince Albert already completed by Thornycroft and unveiled in 1866. The Queen's hat is generously plumed, and, appropriately for this position outside St George's Hall, she bears the St. George's riband as a sash across her breast.
In a description from the Art Journal, the horse is seen as "full of impatient action, which tells on the sway of the figure; an effect difficult to express well in sculpture."
The Queen holds what looks like a small sceptre, but is actually the handle of a riding crop, the rest of which has been lost. The drape of her voluminous skirt can be seen in the right-hand profile.
The companion piece, towards the other end of St George’s Steps, is the equestrian statue of Prince Albert.

Yesterday (za 10/10) i decided to go and check out the Clingendael park. It's a wonderful and huge place with a rich history prior to it becoming a public park (1953). In addition it has the largest Japanese garden in the Netherlands, which i unfortunately didn't visit. The reason for not visiting is that it got rather small paths and a lot of people. Even tho Clingendael is a great place, i wouldn't recommend going there for the purpose of capturing insects. It's great for mushrooms in autumn and flowers in spring and summer, but it's quite busy and not really the place for spotting wildlife. Next week i'll explore the Cronesteyn, which somebody recommended to me.

This was the home of Canadian broadcaster Peter Gzowski until his death in 2002.
His contribution to Canadian media was significant, particularly as a result of his work on CBC radio shows "This Country in the Morning" and then "Morningside".
However, Gzowski also wrote and edited books, hosted television shows, and worked at a number of newspapers and Maclean's magazine.
He was known for his friendly and warm interviewing style.

Me he puesto a revisar memorias fotográficas y me topé con infinidad de imágenes de esta bella hoya compacta, que me sirven para recordar los habitantes del tiempo cálido y así acortar las horas que faltan para su regreso.
Feliz semana !!
Once upon an Arch so bored...
Well, once again boredom has me doing weird things in PMG. This turned out surprisingly well, I think, as it looked pretty butt ugly for the majority of the time I was working on it. Towards the end some of the details pulled it together. Still a pretty ugly and unwieldy looking thing.
Mass Coastal Railroad's Taunton based train MC-3 is working in the compact little Wharf Yard tucked up beneath the shadow of the massive Braga Bridge down by Battleship Cove as they pull and spot loads of flour on the State Pier. The cars are transloaded here and trucked a couple miles south to the Gold Medal Bakery because the tracks that pass directly beside the plant are OOS beyond Ferry Street.
MC 2012 is a rebuilt EMD GP38-3 that began life in Oct. 1966 as a GP40 for the Milwaukee Road numbered 199. It latered passed to the Soo Line and then after retirement was derated and rebuilt as a lease unit numbered GMTX 2685 and then after that spent time working for BNSF before coming here about a year ago in July 2022.
Looming above is the 1.25 mile long Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge which carries Interstate 195 over the Taunton River at its confluence with Mount Hope Bay. Opened in 1966 the top of its towers rise 254 ft above the water and the bridge provides 135 ft of clearance beneath for vessels. Connecting the town of Somerset with Fall River it is the second largest bridge in the state topped only by the Tobin Bridge carry US Route 1 over the Mystic River between Boston and Chelsea.
Located on the Taunton River along Water Street, the Fall River State Pier has two deep water berths and on dock rail and a 96,000 square foot terminal building. Owned by the commonwealth it has bee operated under contract by the not for profit Fall River Line Pier Company since 1946.

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. R_22501

I'm guessing they service small cars only. On Gerrard street east of Main. The exterior is coloured about the same as well chewed grape gum; and in fact it looks like it might be made from the stuff.
