In its previous existence as a skylink bus, Trent Barton Scania L94UB / Wright Solar 668 - FH05 TKJ passes Chilwell Retail Park with a service from East Midlands Airport to Nottingham. This was subsequently converted into Training Vehicle 9311 based at Langley Mill.
17/05/2025, St. Paul's Cathedral, William Street, Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.
My eyes were drawn to this beautifully proportioned cathedral, constructed in rich yellow sandstone.
The contrasting steel supporting structures intrigued me! Surely they must have been a recent addition?
While wielding my camera, a passing lady joined me, and told me the story.
The Cathedral suffered damage as a result of Cyclone Marcia in February 2015, with the roof being fully replaced.
However, movement in the front wall saw the building closed in March 2017 due to safety concerns. Engineering design was subsequently completed, with stabilisation works commence in September 2019 to allow for the Cathedral’s reopening at the beginning of 2020.
A fortunate survivor after so many years of existence, having been completed in 1883.
More data:
The foundation stone for St Paul's Church was laid on 16 September 1879, with the building completed in 1883 to replace a wooden structure which had been built in 1862, after the previous hardwood slab building had been destroyed by a severe tropical storm on 26 November 1860. St Paul's Church, constructed of local area sandstone, was consecrated on 18 October 1883, with 30 free pews and 156 rented pews. With the formation of the Diocese of Rockhampton in 1892 the church became a Cathedral as the seat of the first Bishop Nathaniel Dawes.
is there meaning of a i existence? Even if My existence was always kind of something like a shadow or mist.
ESA’s exoplanet mission Cheops confirmed the existence of four warm exoplanets orbiting four stars in our Milky Way. These exoplanets have sizes between Earth and Neptune and orbit their stars closer than Mercury our Sun.
These so-called mini-Neptunes are unlike any planet in our Solar System and provide a ‘missing link’ between Earth-like and Neptune-like planets that is not yet understood. Mini-Neptunes are among the most common types of exoplanets known, and astronomers are starting to find more and more orbiting bright stars.
Mini-Neptunes are mysterious objects. They are smaller, cooler, and more difficult to find than the so-called hot Jupiter exoplanets which have been found in abundance. While hot Jupiters orbit their star in a matter of hours to days and typically have surface temperatures of more than 1000 °C, warm mini-Neptunes take longer to orbit their host stars and have cooler surface temperatures of only around 300 °C.
The first sign of the existence of these four new exoplanets was found by the NASA TESS mission. However, this spacecraft only looked for 27 days at each star. A hint to a transit – the dimming of light as a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint – was spotted for each star. During its extended mission, TESS revisited these stars and the same transit was seen again, implying the existence of planets.
Scientists calculated the most likely orbital periods and pointed Cheops at the same stars at the time they expected the planets to transit. During this hit-or-miss procedure Cheops was able to measure a transit for each of the exoplanets, confirming their existence, discovering their true orbital periods and taking the next step in their characterisation.
The four newly discovered planets have orbits between 21 and 53 days around four different stars. Their discovery is essential because it brings our sample of known exoplanets closer to the longer orbits that we find in our own Solar System.
One of the outstanding questions about mini-Neptunes is what they are made of. Astronomers predict that they have an iron-rocky core with thick outer layers of lighter material. Different theories predict different outer layers: Do they have deep oceans of liquid water, a puffy hydrogen and helium atmosphere or an atmosphere of pure water vapour?
Discovering the composition of mini-Neptunes is important to understand the formation history of this type of planet. Water-rich mini-Neptunes probably formed far out in the icy regions of their planetary system before migrating inwards, while combinations of rock and gas would tell us that these planets stayed in the same place as they formed.
The new Cheops measurements helped determine the radius of the four exoplanets, while their mass could be determined using observations from ground-based telescopes. Combining the mass and radius of a planet gives an estimate of its overall density.
The density can only give a first estimate of the mass of the iron-rocky core. While this new information about the density is an important step forward in understanding mini-Neptunes, it does not contain enough information to offer a conclusion for the outer layers.
The four newly confirmed exoplanets orbit bright stars, which make them the perfect candidates for a follow-up visit by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope or ESA’s future Ariel mission. These spectroscopic missions could discover what their atmospheres contain and provide a definitive answer to the composition of their outer layers.
A full characterisation is needed to understand how these bodies formed. Knowing the composition of these planets will tell us by what mechanism they formed in early planetary systems. This in turn helps us better understand the origins and evolution of our own Solar System.

The Dreams Of Ehnyon - Mystic Existence
With the music : Hazy - Cosmos
The lines of time and space intersect several times, and so does our existence, in a continuous transformation of learning and error, so that it may be renewed forever. The soul is not bound in temporal or spatial lines by which we can travel in it, hence some of our visions of the past or the future that we do not recognize. We all have a reason to exist, friends are not a coincidence, the people we love, the neighbors or the path we make are part of a space-time web in which we interact several times over generations.
Every act, step, look, word has repercussions in this temporal space fabric as well as in the people that surround us, we are all spirits of transformation but essentially Spirits Of Love whose mission is to protect this miracle that is Life throughout the universe !

My best and kind regards to all ! : )

Built by the Romans in the first century, Ponte Pietra is the historical legacy of Verona as well as a reminder of the city's resilience. The bridge's architecture features a mix of materials and building techniques spanning the two millennia of its existence. Although the retreating German army damaged the bridge in 1945, it was restoration with original stone.
Единственный в Вероне арочный мост, который был построен еще в эпоху Римской империи и сохранился до наших дней почти в первозданном виде. Название в буквальном переводе с итальянского языка означает «Каменный мост». Длина сооружения составляет 120 метров, ширина – чуть меньше 4 метров. Соединяя берега реки Адидже, одним концом он буквально упирается в старинную сторожевую башню.
Nature is a beauty!
The most beautiful aspect of nature is the fact it exist and we need to protect its existence if we plan on passing the beauty on to the next generation.
"state that one refuses to admit the truth or existence of."
We deny things. It's in our nature to do it. We deny things we are afraid of, we deny things we don't like.
Fear is an important emotion.
Makes us grow, makes us be who we really are if we are able to conquer it.
So don't deny things.
Face them.
Here's another of our lucky Labor Day run of Montana Rail Link train 840, the Helena Local. Their only job for the day was to deliver 23 cars to the Ash Grove Cement plant at Montana City, and then they just high balled light engine back to Helena Yard.
Here they are near the end of MRL's short 4.9 mile long 13th Sub Branchline starting their shove back on the siding towqard the spur just behind that tree that swings off to the right and up to the big plant that keeps this branch alive. Interestingly this is one of the only sections of MRL trackage that is not of Northern Pacific heritage. This line was once a part of the Great Northern Railway's Great Falls to Butte route built by the Montana Central Railway in 1888. Merged into the GN in 1907 the line provided access to a the great mining town of Butte that was served by four class 1s all vying for lucrative traffic interchanged rom the Anaconda Copper Company's Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railroad. Known as the 8th Sub of GN's Butte Division in latter years it was cut back just two years after the formation of Burlington Northern in 1972 when the southern 30 miles of the line across the Continental Divide at 6352 ft Elk Park Pass was abandoned. 35 miles from Montana City to Basin hung on for another decade until it was cut back to its present length in 1982. The five mile stub was sold to the new MRL in 1987 though interestingly BN and BNSF retained the north end of the line from Helena Jct. to Great Falls which remains intact but out of service to this day.
I've always loved branch lines and most of the MRL's are sadly now out of service having succumbed as a result of Montana's flagging timber industry. But this short but scenic one hangs on and to make it even better is home to one of the coolest sets of motive power to be found anywhere. For the past few months, the assigned power has been MRL 109 and 355. Both are veteran ex Burlington Northern units, the former a GP9 originally blt. Feb. 1955 as Northern Pacific 210 and the latter an SD45 blt. Dec. 1971 as BN 6558. Long known for its preference for the 20 cylinder EMD brutes, the MRL rostered some 52 indivdual units of the model at varying times during the past 35 years (and over 80 if you include dash 2 and cowl variants) though today this one is the last of her breed in service on the property.
Countless articles have been written about the MRL over the past 35 years of its existence and if you care to learn more download this great set courtesy of Trains Magazine:
