Au début du XXe siècle, Georges Turpault, un filateur de Cholet, achète une vieille demeure et le terrain attenant sur la pointe de Beg-er-Lann, située au sud-ouest de la côte Sauvage de la presqu'île de Quiberon. Il confie à l’entrepreneur Hippolyte Jamet la construction d'un château de style anglo-médiéval qu'il baptise « le château de la mer ». Sa construction se déroule de 1904 à 1910.
Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le château est occupé par l'armée allemande qui y construit deux blockhaus en le dégradant fortement. En 1946, à la sortie de la guerre, Mme Turpault vend le château au maire de Quiberon, Marcel Robert. Ce dernier va le restaurer partiellement avant de le revendre à Ferdinand Richard en 1967
At the beginning of the 20th century, Georges Turpault, a spinner from Cholet, bought an old house and the adjoining land on the tip of Beg-er-Lann, located on the south-western coast of the Quiberon peninsula. He entrusted the contractor Hippolyte Jamet with the construction of an Anglo-Medieval style castle which he named "the castle of the sea". Its construction took place from 1904 to 1910.
During the Second World War, the castle was occupied by the German army, which built two blockhouses and seriously damaged it. In 1946, at the end of the war, Mrs Turpault sold the castle to the mayor of Quiberon, Marcel Robert. The latter partially restored it before selling it to Ferdinand Richard in 1967.

It must be Spring as nests are popping up all over. This Great White Egret is bringing a finely selected stick back with him. I wonder if that is for the Living room or one of the Bedrooms...
Have a great weekend Everyone!
On our way home from Cambridge NZ over Christmas I made Mike stop so I could take a photo of this delightful old building. It has seen better days which is always why I love capturing them, they are part of our history.

Ok, So I've had this Fuji X100F for a couple of weeks now and can't make up my mind if I love it or hate it. On the plus side it's small, mirrorless and inconspicuous, meaning I can get away with a bit more street photography without being glared at!
However, the ergonomics of the camera are painful. The grip if far to small, and as a result it's easy to accidentally knock one of the four buttons on the command dial. I've disabled two of them, but it's impossible to disable the "drive" button. As a result today I managed to knock the camera into "filters" mode without realizing it and spent 10 minutes trying to work out what I'd done. Somehow it also switch from raw mode to jpg mode at the same time which I didn't realize until I got home, at which point I gave the camera a stream of four letter words.
The 1951-built Western Maryland ALCO FA-2 is found sitting outside the Railway Service Contractors, Inc. shops in Kansas City, KS. The ALCO carbody was moved here via truck a few months ago from Barton, MD after being purchased by Mike Roberts, owner of Railway Service Contractors. Though painfully weathered and temporarily missing its pilot, it's still pretty cool to see a surviving ALCO FA unit, though it may not be operational.
This was sold from Gerald Altizer, who bought this back in 2000 from the Baltimore & Ohio Museum. Altizer was a partner of the Georges Creek Railway, a short line which gained of the former CSX Georges Creek Subdivision in the mid-2000's. Altizer made it a goal to acquire, restore and repaint former Western Maryland engines and operate them on home rails, which he did with the GCK. However, this only lasted a little over a decade when the short line's major customer, a paper mill, shut down and a petition to abandon the GCK was filed with the STB with most of their locomotives being sold.
The 303 was one of four FA-2's the Western Maryland owned, all of which were sold to GE in 1972 to be converted to a control cab for the Long Island Railroad. Being and old LIRR "power pack", it had no use moving freight, and it was at different times used by West Virginia Central and Durbin & Greenbriar Valley for passenger excursions. It had been unused since 2016, residing in Barton, MD. Currently, there are vague plans for its restoration.
Only one other WM FA-2 survives, the WM No. 302. It's owned by the Western Maryland Railway Historical Society and stored on the West Virginia Central.
Behind the FA is a former C&O GP30M, which was later rebuilt as a GP30M on the Chessie System. Owned by Railway Service Contractors for several years now, it still wears its Indiana & Ohio colors when it was owned by that railroad. 2/5/23.

The 747-400BCF (Boeing Converted Freighter) is a conversion program for standard passenger 747-400 aircraft. The project was launched in 2004 with conversions by approved contractors such as HAECO, KAL Aerospace and SIA Engineering Company. 50 of these aircraft were converted by the BCF program. Boeing announced the end of the BCF program for the 747-400 in 2016, although conversions had ceased years earlier with no orders after 2012
The B-747-400/BCF has the stretched upper-deck of the passenger plane and no nose-loading capability. The airplane can carry up to 107 tonnes of freight compared with 124 tonnes for the factory-built B-747-400F

1968 Scammell Contractor ballast tractor in the livery of Siddle C Cook, Co Durham.
Registered in July 1984.
This was the final big Scammell bought by Siddle C Cook in 1968. In December 1977 it helped Magnaload into the record books by helping to move a 120' long 401 ton moisture separator-reheater bound for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in California, USA. At the time this was the heaviest load to be moved on the UK's roads.

The Coconut Grove Playhouse was a theatre in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. The building was originally constructed as a movie theater called the Player's State Theater. It opened on January 3, 1927, as a part of the Paramount chain. The movie house was designed by the architect Richard Kiehnel of Kiehnel and Elliott. It was built by local realtors Irving J. Thomas and Fin L. Pierce. Albert Peacock was the contractor.
The theater was renowned as the second movie theatre on the east coast of Florida to be air conditioned and having the largest Wurlitzer organ in the United States. It was used for a variety of shows until closing in 2006. It has not been used since. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
In the 1950s George Engle, an oilman, bought it and spent over $1 million (equivalent to $47 million in 2017) in renovations having the architect Alfred Browning Parker convert it to a live theatre. It reopened on January 3, 1956 with the US premiere of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, starring Bert Lahr and Tom Ewell.
In the fifty years that have followed, the Playhouse has played host to many of theater's most renowned performers, including Maureen Stapleton, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Eve Arden, Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing, Liza Minnelli, Linda Lavin, Bea Arthur, George C. Scott, Colleen Dewhurst, Ethel Merman, and Raúl Esparza.
Between 1964 and 1965, The Coconut Grove Playhouse was used by The Miami Actors Company, which was meant to be an extension of the National Theatre and Academy. The brainchild of Ilse Earl, who taught theatre classes at Miami Dade College, launched this effort. Only 20 actors from Miami and surrounding areas were chosen to become part of this historic event, out of more than 100 or so of those who were asked to audition.
The company was reviewed by The Miami Herald theatre critic at that time. Shows involved, among others, were J.B. by Archibald MacLeish; All the Way Home by Tad Mosel; and Slow Dance on the Killing Ground by William Hanley. Slow Dance was a hurried replacement which had to be put in place within ten days of rehearsal, replacing Hogan's Goat.
In 1982, actor-director José Ferrer was named Artistic Director, and under his supervision the Playhouse gained a reputation as one of the nation's leading theatres. In 1985, Arnold Mittelman was selected after a national search to succeed Mr. Ferrer. Among the productions that premiered here prior to a Broadway opening are Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, and Urban Cowboy. Sherry Glaser’s Family Secrets moved to off-Broadway and became its longest running one-woman show. The Playhouse presented the world premiere of Fame: The Musical, which went on to great success in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and London’s West End, and mounted a revival of Death of a Salesman, starring Hal Holbrook and Elizabeth Franz, prior to a national tour. The theatre now has two stages, the 1700-seat proscenium Mainstage Theater and the intimate 100-seat Encore Room Theater.
The Playhouse provided a broad range of programs for all ages, including the In-School Touring Program, which presented plays aimed at students in grades six through twelve, Lizard Lessons, original plays with music for kindergarten through third grade, a Summer Theater Camp for teens, and Theater Stages, which teaches acting techniques, playwriting, costume and scenery design, and improvisation to children, teens, and adult performers.
On November 22, 1996, Late Show with David Letterman originated from the theater. It was the last episode of the show not to originate from New York.
The Coconut Grove Playhouse closed in 2006 due to an accumulated debt, which many believed was due to the high operating costs of running the large 1,130-seat theatre. The theatre remains closed to this date. In January 2014, however, Miami-Dade County received permission from the State of Florida to take over the building.
At the time of the Miami-Dade County takeover, there were several ideas for the use of the space. The current plan approved by the State of Florida is for a 300-seat theatre at the venue to be operated by GableStage, a renowned South Florida theatre company currently operating in a 150-seat theatre at the historic Biltmore Hotel. GableStage would work in association with Florida International University and their theatre department, working with them to provide students there with professional, real world experience. At the time of the approval, the City of Miami government waived 1.5 million dollars worth of previously accumulated building violation fees.
This plan was rivaled by a proposal for creating a 700-seat theatre at the space. The group presenting this proposal was led by Mike Eidson, trust chairman at the Adrienne Arsht Center, a large performance complex in downtown Miami. Eidson's involvement in the deal was separate from his position at the Arsht Center. Kevin Spacey was cited as a backer of the plan, with Eidson claiming that he would be interested in serving as an advisor in the project and possibly working as an artistic director upon reopening. Spacey worked in a similar position in reviving London's Old Vic Theatre. This proposal was not passed, however it is still being considered as an option. A county chairman encouraged Eidson to "postpone" his plans, suggesting that the idea is not completely out of sight.
The 700-seat theatre option has received mixed reviews. Ann Anthony, executive director of Miami's Mad Cat Theatre Company, is one of the plan's many opponents. She cited the difficulty of filling a large theatre and the presence of two large theatres nearby, the Miracle Theatre and the venues at the Adrienne Arsht Center. Many people support the plan though, hoping that with Kevin Spacey's backing that the theatre could bring in big stars and become a prominent regional theatre once again.[
After a long bidding process between 9 architecture firms, Miami-Dade county commissioners voted for Arquitectonica to restore the venue and bring it up to current building codes. $20 million in voter-approved bond money has been set aside to fund this project. The building is deemed a historical landmark so it cannot be fully demolished, but many residents are concerned that much of the building will not be preserved.
Preservation architect Richard Heisenbottle sketched a plan for the restoration of the venue that could fit the smaller 300-seat space and the 700-seat theatre proposed by Eidson, and keep most of the original exterior. Upon this development, Arquitectonica was tasked with looking into the budgetary requirements for this plan as well as how much of the historic architecture could be saved if the venue had two performance spaces.
