Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied...

This is one of ten remaining monarch butterfly caterpillars feeding in my enclosed outdoor sanctuary. Currently there are still 59 viable chrysalises in the sanctuary, but unlike caterpillars they don't require daily attention for food (replenishing tropical milkweed plants that caterpillars strip bare) or for maintenance (cleaning frass messes). I have also released 11 monarchs so far in 2021. Webster Groves, Missouri.

109 Year-Old Decaying Bridge to Nowhere

Bear with me. I felt compelled to do a series of shots of my favorite bridge in the world, with her magnificent colors of water and sky. I visit only once a year (for 46 straight years), and every time there is nobody here, leaving her and her ruins lonely and forgotten. I will never forget her beauty, or Henry Flagler. Thanks for looking.
The Bahia Honda Rail Bridge is a disused bridge in the lower Florida Keys connecting Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. Originally part of the Overseas Railway, the State of Florida purchased it after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it to provide automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. After a replacement Bahia Honda Bridge was opened in 1972, two spans of the bridge were removed (in the 80's) to accommodate boat traffic and make the majority of the bridge inaccessible to pedestrian traffic, but the rest remain standing. Red bridge-rust.
It was originally built by Henry Flagler as part of the Overseas Railroad which was completed in 1912. Flagler funded the construction of the bridge, along with the rest of the railway himself. It was purchased by the state of Florida and converted for highway use in 1938 after the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Rather than completely rebuilding the bridge after the hurricane, the existing structure was repaired and the deck for the Overseas Highway was added on top, as the existing deck inside the truss was too narrow for vehicular traffic. The bridge served as the primary mode of transport to the islands of the lower Keys, and as a primary evacuation route.
A new four-lane bridge was built in 1980, a few hundred yards north of the old bridge, replacing the old route of U.S. 1. Today, the former bridge provides a scenic overview of the area for tourists. Two of the truss spans have been removed in order to facilitate boat traffic, as the new bridge has an increased span height. The original bridge has fallen into a state of disrepair and signs have been posted on the bridge warning boat traffic to watch for falling debris, but all of the sections have remained standing (not counting the two that were removed). The easternmost section remains open to pedestrian traffic and is maintained by Bahia Honda State Park. Bahia Honda Rail Bridge ~ Spanish Harbor Key ~ Lower Keys

This mural on Hanbury St, which I think is called 'Scarlet Nexus' filled one of the largest walls in the Brick Lane area. Painted by Jim Vision was commissioned by Bandai Namco Entertainment to publicise a new game.
The mural is so large, colourful and chaotic that people passing by can almost appear camouflaged.

From the www.jimvision.co.uk website, "Jim Vision is a visionary artist, a Post Modern Vandal and painter of large-scale murals and graffiti. His personal drive has challenged the zero tolerance policies of local councils and progressed the Graffiti culture and Street Art industry of East London.
A leading protagonist of London's contemporary street art culture, Jim’s talent has taken him all across the globe, from Buenos Aires to Tahiti, Miami to Mexico. Some highlights include invitations to paint at the Ono'u festival in Tahiti, Banksy’s Cans2 festival in Leake Street tunnel Waterloo, MuTATE Britain, Westbank gallery’s Gonzo Exhibition, and a major EndoftheLine retrospective at LondonNewcastle in Shoreditch .
Jim’s subject matter often features thought-provoking issues, both environmental and political, intertwined with fantastical often apocalyptic visions of the past, present and future. The prophetic nature of his work challenges cultural expectations and predicts an uneasy future.
When he is not painting in the streets, pursuing independent art community projects, and curating exhibitions, he is the art director of Endoftheline producing art commissions for a variety of clients like Netflix and Marvel."

This colourful mural by Mathilda was photographed in Grey Eagle St, not far from Brick Lane. It was actually adjacent to the previously uploaded Spiderman mural by Jim Vision.
Doing a bit of background reading I now realise that the two are partners and founded a company called Endoftheline.
On his website Jim says, "In 2010 I set up EndoftheLine with my partner Matilda. We are a mural production company and cultural agency working with Clients and institutions to bring colourful and creative murals and underground art events to life, inspire positivity and encourage creativity.
We believe in transforming the world around us with powerful and colourful murals, painting the streets with art that empowers people and street culture. We have painted murals internationally and locally in cities across the globe. Commercially we have worked for international brands, curating and commissioning murals and artwork for multi city campaigns.
Our Art guardianship scheme has provided property owners in the United Kingdom with a creative and low cost solution to bringing life to vacant properties. By occupying commercial spaces and building viable art galleries and art installations we are able to minimise landlords council tax costs while bringing life and colour to empty and disused spaces."
Given their clients include Marvel, Netflix and Google I would imagine they are no longer wondering where they'll find the money for a few more spray cans.......

So much has changed since the 30th of October 1974? We were at the height of the "Troubles" on this island, there appeared to be no end in sight, yet there was always hope that somebody would come down the tracks and give us inspiration and more importantly give us peace. This set of "points" outside Kiltimagh in Co. Mayo must have been in the news in their own right at the time?
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/66311327@N05] helped map this to the line between Claremorris and Sligo, and tells us that Kiltimagh railway station closed to goods traffic in 1975. This image therefore almost certainly falling into that group of images which O'Dea captured of closed/closing stations and tracks.....

Sad day.
Others will feel different.
I accept that democracy is basically a good system compared to the alternatives.
...and that this means we have to accept that sometimes gullibility wins the day over sense (from our individual perspectives) . I do accept Brexit is the will of the UK population but i cant make myself be happy about it.
To me it is a very sad day, especially for Northern Ireland and a bad decision for the UK as a whole.
I hope I live long enough to see the UK join again but I fear the UK will be broken up long before this can happen. For people like me that were never interested in nationalism in Northern Ireland in the past this now seems like the route back to a European identity.
