Vessel 'Manchester Explorer' in Manchester Docks.
Built by Cammell Laird in 1952, she was intended for the Great Lakes trade (some years prior to the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway) and to fit in the locks she was smaller than most of the Manchester Liners fleet.
This pale green livery was introduced on some ships around 1958, I guess the photo dates from around 1960?
Primarily for my own record, these are my photos that have reached Explore -- at least for a brief minute. Somehow, as I write this, the middle one, #3 Along Old Almonte Road, seems to be still hanging in there, but I'm not sure why as I've never thought of it as one of my faves. All of the others, including the more recent one, which is possibly my fave of the group, have been dropped from the the venerated and august Explore echelon.
Modesty requires me to close Comments on this post: also because a lot of you have probably already commented on one or more of these.

Although commonly found in singles this 2015 edition of the Matchbox 2012 Ford Explorer was also used in their five vehicle sets which appeared on the pegs of ASDA and probably other U.K. retailers in the Christmas period. A decent casting which looks good in Emergency liveries such as this and good enough for various obscure Chinese toy companies to copy it. Mint and boxed.

On our weekend away, I was hoping to find some of these beautiful butterflies, and we found quite a few of them. Luckily this one ( and a few others ) were enjoying the mineral laden water, so I managed to get a shot of him with his wings wide open.

As an architecture student, I greatly appreciate the fact that ASU values architecture. Good architecture encourages curiosity, interaction, exploration (here quite literally!), and so much more. Lattie Coor Hall, designed by local architecture firm Jones Studio, is a fantastic building on ASU's Main Campus. The university's appreciation for good architecture is part of what makes it excellent.

Tuscany is a region in central Italy with an area of about 23,000 square kilometres (8,900 sq mi) and a population of about 3.8 million inhabitants (2013). The regional capital is Florence (Firenze).
Tuscany is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, artistic legacy and its influence on high culture. It is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and has been home to many figures influential in the history of art and science, and contains well-known museums such as the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace.
Tuscany produces wines, including Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano and Brunello di Montalcino. Having a strong linguistic and cultural identity, it is sometimes considered "a nation within a nation".
Seven Tuscan localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the historic centre of Florence (1982); the historical centre of Siena (1995); the square of the Cathedral of Pisa (1987); the historical centre of San Gimignano (1990); the historical centre of Pienza (1996); the Val d'Orcia (2004), and Medici Villas and Gardens (2013).

I returned to Tuscany after several years during a prolonged August weekend to explore famous hilltop settlements and enjoy Chianti & Montepulciano red wines.
The rolling landscape of Tuscany offer endless possibilities of finding a perfect view, fine scene, and beautiful atmosphere.
