Another example of a loan in from First Manchester to Dukinfield that could have just retained its original number (in this case 412), but instead had a seven added, albeit temporarily.
New to Shearings, of course, and acquired by First with their portion of the Timeline business.
Dukinfield, Pennine yard (well, just next door in fact), 28/01/2001.
It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.

Thanks so much for your visits and kind and encouraging words!! I appreciate them so much! ; ) Sometimes I can take time to reply to each of you individually, but often times I can't..
Signalling is one of the most important factors to ensure that the trains run safely and smoothly. Signals at Howrah are a little more special, as they also show which platform it is going to be placed on and which track/line it is going to take, to every incoming and outgoing train respectively.
This photograph is an example of the latter, where signal HWH S-23 shows morning service 37911 Katwa local that it's going to take the Up Main (denoted by M) via Bandel.
"The Lord Leycester Hospital (often known simply as the Lord Leycester) is one of the best preserved examples of medieval courtyard architecture in England and is a charity supporting ex-servicemen. It is located in Warwick, England, next to the West Gate, on High Street. It is a Grade I listed building. The Hospital is a prominent and internationally famous feature of Warwick. For almost 900 years buildings have been erected and civic activity has taken place on the site, starting with the chapel built in 1126. The site was donated by the 12th Earl of Warwick in the 14th century to the United Guild of the Holy Trinity and St George. The Guild Hall, Great Hall and Master's House were constructed in the late 15th century. Over the centuries, the ancient buildings and 500 year old gardens have been admired by many famous visitors such as Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde, by Kings and Queens, such as King George V and the Queen Mother and ordinary travellers from around the world.
Warwick is a market town and the county town of Warwickshire, England. It lies near the River Avon, 11 miles (18 km) south of Coventry and just west of Leamington Spa and Whitnash. Its population was 31,345 in 2011. Signs of activity date to the Neolithic period and unbroken habitation to the 6th century AD. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century; Warwick Castle was built during the Norman conquest of England. Warwick School claims to be the country's oldest boys' school. The earldom of Warwick, created in 1088, controlled the medieval town and built town walls, of which Eastgate and Westgate survive. The castle grew into a fortress, then a country house. The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694 destroyed much of the town. Warwick missed 19th-century industrialisation, but the population has grown almost sixfold since 1801." - info from Wikipedia.

A new rendering shows star-forming regions and more details in the galaxy core. Based on public data from the HLA archive.
NGC 1300 is an example of a barred spiral galaxy. Unlike in other spiral galaxies where the starry arms curl outward from the center of the galaxy, NGC 1300's arms twist away from the ends of a straight bar of stars that stretches across the galaxy's core. Observational evidence suggests that our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a barred spiral as well.
NGC 1300's spiral arms include blue clusters of young stars, pink clouds that are forming new stars, and dark lanes of dust. Two prominent dust lanes also cut through the galaxy's bar, which contains mostly older, orangish stars. These dust lanes disappear into a tight spiral feature at the center of the bar. Interestingly, only galaxies with large bars appear to have such a "spiral within a spiral." Hubble's image of NGC 1300, taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys, reveals finer details in these features than ever seen before.
Using Hubble to study more than 2,000 spiral galaxies both near and far, astronomers have learned that barred spiral galaxies are more common today than they were in the past. Led by Kartik Sheth of the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology, the team found that 65 percent of present-day spiral galaxies have bars, but 7 billion years ago, only 20 percent of spirals had them. The researchers also noticed that the percentage of massive spiral galaxies that have bars was about the same in the past as it is today, but for low-mass spirals, more present-day galaxies have bars than the earlier ones do.
Galaxies take time to mature, so today's galaxies are typically more developed than those from billions of years ago. Astronomers also know that larger, more massive galaxies tend to develop faster — and thus earlier — than smaller, less massive galaxies do. The findings, therefore, imply that bars are a sign of maturity among spiral galaxies.

A stunning example of art Nouveau inspired architecture dating back to 1908, hotel Raquel located near one of old Havana’s most attractive squares, Plaza Vieja, offers guest a beautiful and romantic ambience. The hotel’s eclectic facade is well matched by the impressive interior: shining marble floors, polished columns and posh period sofas.
The most striking feature of the hotel’s lobby is without a doubt the stained glass windows positioned over the atrium that let in soothing tones of yellow light. Hotel Raquel offers 25 comfortable accommodations that are distributed over three floors and around the atrium. The rooms are carefully designed and decorated with paintings of well-known Cuban artists.
Hotel Raquel is also known for its references to Jewish tradition and faith, which consist of various decorative items including a stone engraving of a Star of David at the reception and various symbolic artifacts like mezuzahs affixed to the some of the doorposts of the guestrooms. Raquel’s elegant restaurant serves typical Jewish cuisine.

Earlier in the spring, in spite of my City's attempt to locate and destroy all of the resident Canada Geese eggs, the hatching took place. Everyone knew that many nests had gone unlocated; the point was to greatly reduce the number of hatched goslings. SAD!
It was soon clear - by seeing the families on the lake and the river, that, though the numbers were smaller, there were still an abundance of goslings.
Now it is just a few months later. Those goslings have grown to almost adult size, and have almost finished getting adult coloring. This is one example of a spring hatching survivor, now nearly an adult.

From Wikipedia:
Trajan's Kiosk, also known as Pharaoh's Bed (Arabic: سرير فرعون) by the locals, is a hypaethral temple currently located on Agilkia Island in southern Egypt. The unfinished monument is attributed to Trajan, Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD, due to his depiction as pharaoh seen on some of the interior reliefs. However, the majority of the structure dates to an earlier time, possibly to the reign of Augustus. The temple was originally built on the island of Philae, near the lower Aswan Dam, and served as main entrance to the Philae Island Temple Complex from the Nile river. It was relocated to Agilika Island in the 1960s as part of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia to save it from the rising waters of the Nile that followed the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
This 15-x-20 metre kiosk is 15.85 metres high; its function was likely "to shelter the bark of Isis at the eastern banks" of Philae island. Its four by five columns each carry "different, lavishly structured composite capitals that are topped by 2.10-metre-high piers" and were originally intended to be sculpted into Bes piers, similar to the birthhouses of Philae, Armant, and Dendera though this decoration was never completed.
The structure is today roofless, but sockets within the structure's architraves suggest that its roof, which was made of timber, was indeed constructed in ancient times. Three 12.50-metre-long, presumably triangulated trusses, "which were inserted into a ledge at the back of stone architecture, carried the slightly vaulted roof." All the fourteen columns are connected by a screening wall, with entrances in the eastern and western facades. This building represents an example of the unusual combination of wood and stone in the same architectural structure for an Egyptian temple. The attribution to Emperor Trajan is based on a carving inside the kiosk structure, depicting the emperor burning incense before Osiris and Isis.

A good example of how these venerable GP7's were painted. The gold applied first to the entire locomotive, and the maroon applied over the gold. At this age, the maroon is mostly gone! Maybe Justin Winiarz can confirm this location, I'm sticking with Keets Rd in Deerfield until he says otherwise. Thanks in advance, Justin! This shot seems to indicate that the crossroad stays under the tracks. Hard for me to remember after 40+ years. This is JS-2, heading south, having just met SJ-1 heading north. April 1978
There are numerous examples of Roman architecture around Pula. This arch was erected in the 1st century BC on the orders of Salvia Postuma Sergia. Behind the arch (where the digital temperature is visible) is a bar named "Uliks" (Ulysses), featuring a statue of James Joyce, seated at a table. He lived in Pula for 6 months in 1904. I got rather wet taking this picture. We were caught out by a sudden shower. However, I liked the effect of the reflections in the wet pavement and the people with umbrellas going about their daily business

The versatile C-45 family of transport and trainer aircraft began life in 1937 as the Beechcraft Model 18 light twin. The Model 18s were widely accepted by commercial aviation operators as a good economical short haul transport prior to the war. The Army Air Corps saw its commercial success and ordered 11 aircraft prior to the beginning of World War II. At the outbreak of the war, the Army Air Corps ordered the C-45 into production. Although used primarily as a transport aircraft, the C-45 was also produced in the AT-7 navigational training, AT-11 bombardier/gunnery training and the F-2 photo reconnaissance trainer versions. By the end of the war, Beech had built 4,526 examples of the C-45 and its variants.
I think this is the first airplane that I've actually completed. I started a C-47, Mosquito and F-22 but unfortunately they have remained WIPs. I am attracted to graceful aircraft an the Twin-Beech is absolutely beautiful. I plan on building more in different color schemes so stay tuned. (I also have about five models/ builds to upload)
Thanks for looking!
This little ball of energy really was putting on a show for us until I pointed my camera it's way!! LOL It's not very common at Council Groves to see squirrels....I enjoy photographing them as long as they don't jump on me!!! lol...I had a freaky experience at the mall one time where a squirrel in a tree was down quite low....very big and pretty one, and I happened to have my camera so I got it out and started taking pics and it jumped down and me and then sprung off and ran!!!! LOL...scared the daylights outta me!!! This was a youngster I do believe!
