The Leicester Line section of the Grand Union Canal, in Loughborough, Liecestershire.
What is now called the ‘Leicester Line’ comprised two canals that were bought by the Grand Junction Canal in 1894: the Leicestershire & Northamptonshire Union Canal and the ‘old’ Grand Union Canal.
The River Soar had been made navigable up to Loughborough by 1780, and the route was extended to Leicester in 1794. The Leicestershire & Northamptonshire Union Canal was promoted to continue the waterway to Market Harborough and Northampton, where it would meet the River Nene and the planned branch from the Grand Junction Canal at Gayton.
By 1797, when construction had only reached Gumley Debdale, the money had been used up. More was raised in 1805, and the canal got to Market Harborough four years later.
Meanwhile, the Grand Junction Canal from London to Braunston had opened. Alternative routes for joining the two canals were discussed and it was decided that a separate company to be called the ‘Grand Union Canal’ should be formed to make the link. (It is now often referred to as the ‘old’ Grand Union, to distinguish it from the canal of the same name created in 1929 when the Grand Junction merged with several other canals.) This opened from Norton Junction to Foxton in 1814, providing a direct route from the East Midlands coalfield and industrial towns to London.
Never prosperous, railway competition from the 1840s meant declining revenues, which led to reductions in maintenance. When in the early 1890s the Grand Junction was looking to revive the East Midlands trade, the two companies were very willing to be bought out, so in 1894 the Grand Junction paid £6,500 for the L&NU and £10,500 for the ‘old’ Grand Union — the better price for the latter probably reflecting the value of its reservoirs rather than its canal.
The Grand Junction rectified the arrears of maintenance, dredged their new purchases, and built the inclined plane at Foxton, bypassing the ten locks and speeding the passage of the boats. A further inclined plane was planned to bypass Watford Locks but was never built.
It was all too late: traffic grew slightly, but not by enough to make working Foxton incline economic, and in 1910 it was closed and traffic reverted to using the locks.

If you don't know anything about these planets just choose whichever one looks/sounds the coolest.
..............Questions..............
Which place would you like to live?🤔
Which one do you want the next SWS to be about?
Idk if you can actually read them or not. If you can't just place a comment directly on the picture.
P.S: Since I seem to have trouble uploading, SWS can now also stand for Star Wars Sunday. 😉

Found this (and few others) at car park in Abergavenny. Best shot I got without a tripod (who takes it when going shopping?) lol
HTT everyone :)
This was taken on the same evening as the previous 2 sunset photos, and completes the trio of space, movement, and time.
This is an 80 second exposure, and though it was taken more than an hour later than the previous shot, it will serve to illustrate the concept.
Photo #1, Pacifica Sunset Friday, shows the space, position, and direction of the moment. Time and movement are frozen.
Photo #2, Swiping the Sunset, illustrates movement. Time is nearly frozen, and the camera was aimed at the same space. The movement is somewhat artificial, as I could not move the sun and sea, but I could move the camera.
Photo #3, this one, Extending the Sunset shows the same space, but in this case time was moving. The camera was still, and it was pointed in the same direction as the first photo.
I did not recognize this triumvirate until after I had looked at the photos. It would be interesting to do this again in a narrower time frame, and perhaps with different subjects.

On another note, one of my photos is used to open an article in Bay Nature Magazine about Mori Point:

For all you SF Bay Area people, I recommend a subscription and learning a bit more about where we live! It's a great publication.

Gainsborough Lea Road railway station, Gainsborough, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
The first station at Gainsborough was the current Gainsborough Central station, which opened in 2 April 1849 by the Manchester Sheffield and Lincoln railway. Initially a terminus this became a through station when the line was extended to Woodhouse and Retford on 16 July 1849. On 9 April 1849 a single-track line built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) from Lincoln to west of the station and GNR trains serving Gainsborough reversed here. Following the opening of the MSLR line to Retford, GNR services then ran to Retford although the reversal into Gainsborough Central was still required.
The GNR was keen to extend their line from Gainsborough to Doncaster and parliamentary approval for this line was received on 25 July 1864. As part of this scheme the existing Lincoln to Gainsborough line was also to be upgraded. On 1 December that year the line from Lincoln to Doncaster was closed and doubling took place. At this time the new station initially called Gainsborough was built and trains started calling there on 15 July 1867. On 1 March 1871 a line was opened from north of the station to the bank of the River Trent serving Ashcroft Saw Mill and an iron works.
In 1879 the GNR and the Great Eastern Railway (GER) formed a committee to build a line linking the coal fields of south Yorkshire to London. This saw the building of a new line from Spalding North Junction to Pyewipe Junction near Lincoln which opened in stages in 1882. The station was transferred to the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway committee.
Passenger facilities were improved in 1883 and 1884, and goods facilities expanded in 1886 and 1891 with a number of rail connected businesses operated in the station area. In 1909 the joint committee was abandoned and although the station remained in Joint ownership, it was managed by the GNR.
The GNR amalgamated with several other railways to form the London and North Eastern Railway on 1 January 1923. On 9 July the station was renamed Gainsborough North although this name was short-lived as the station was renamed Gainsborough Lea Road on 1 December.
In the Second World War the joint line saw significant freight traffic and passenger services were reduced as a result. Following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 Gainsborough Lea Road became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways. The goods yard remained active during the 1950s but falling traffic saw closure on 1 April 1967.
Compared to Gainsborough Central, Lea Road is very inconveniently sited, being around a 20-minute walk from the town centre. Whilst there is a bus between the station and the town centre, this is not timetabled to connect with train services.
Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area extends out from the Oregon coast, one mile into the Pacific Ocean. Standing 93 feet tall at the westernmost point of the basalt headland, the lighthouse has been a bright beacon of the night, guiding ships and their supplies along the west coast since the light was first lit on August 20, 1873.

After an extended period with the Scavrats, I really wanted to return to the Revenant Sisterhood. Black is my happy place, and the Sisterhood really is the focus of Dark Legacies.
This build took about 6 weeks to finish, including wait time for BrickLink orders. Serendipitously, one of those orders never arrived, which is how I ended up with the one grey/red highlighted “knee”. As is often the case, being forced to improvise often turns out a better result.
My goal this time around was a mech that could both walk and drive, but that was still vaguely plausible/realistic from a military perspective. I spent a lot of time experimenting with different tire and track designs until I landed with this. Crucially, the disc joints had to have the clearance to compress fully so that the Redeemer could drive in a fully supported squat posture.
Generally speaking, as an old school #battletech fan, many of my builds are also influenced by walker-style mechs like the Locust and Marauder. This time around though, you might see some Rifleman influence in the side torsos and main guns.
Ahora, los desastres son cada vez más mayores, como la guerra, la hambruna, el terremoto y la pandemia actual que se ha extendido por todo el mundo, etc., es obvio que las profecías de la venida del Señor se han cumplido básicamente y Él ha regresado. Pero, ¿por qué todavía no hemos recibido al Señor? La razón principal es que has ignorado estas tres profecías cruciales de la venida del Señor: “Pero a medianoche se oyó un clamor: «¡Aquí está el novio! Salid a recibirlo.»” (Mateo 25:6). “He aquí, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él y él conmigo” (Apocalipsis 3:20). “Mis ovejas oyen mi voz, y yo las conozco y me siguen” (Juan 10:27). En estos versículos se mencionan las expresiones “a medianoche se oyó un clamor”, “si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta” y “Mis ovejas oyen mi voz”. Las cuales quieren decirnos que es muy importante “escuchar” para recibir al Señor en los últimos días. Además, estos versos también nos dicen que el Señor vendrá a expresar palabras y las usará para llamar a la puerta de nuestro corazón. Así que solo dando la importancia a la voz de Dios podremos recibir al Señor. Al igual que Pedro y Natanael, reconocieron que el Señor Jesús era el Mesías y lo siguieron por haber escuchado Sus palabras.
Hoy en día, solo la Iglesia de Dios Todopoderoso testifica que el Señor ha vuelto, es Dios Todopoderoso encarnado. Dios Todopoderoso ha publicado millones de palabras, que se han publicado en Internet para que todos los que anhelan la aparición de Dios busquen e investiguen. Solo tenemos que buscar y escuchar humildemente las palabras de Dios Todopoderoso, y en cuanto estamos seguros de que ellas son la voz de Dios, lo aceptamos y lo seg

Taken during my 5th trip to Nova Scotia, in September of 1980, here's William deGarthe working on a huge granite mural that extends the entire length of an outcrop on his property. Just visible at the top center is the cross on the steeple of St. John's Anglican Church. Complete information on deGarthe and his works can be found here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_E._deGarthe
When viewing the high resolution photo of the completed mural that's in the Wikipedia article, I noticed that the left end of the completed work did NOT match the same area of my photo, which shows his original marked layout. There are significant differences between my photo and his finished work in the area to the left of St. Elmo. Where today on the finished mural you see a gull about to land on a bollard, and to its left a figure standing at a vessel's spoked wheel, in my photo of his original design you see a two masted schooner sailing left toward a lighthouse on a rock. Above the schooner is a gull flying to the right. Since the mural was nowhere near completion, a great deal of rough layout work is visible throughout. I wouldn't have noticed this if I hadn't been looking on line for some information about the mural. Viewing both at their large size, compare the left end of my image with that of the Wikipedia image. Their differences will be readily apparent.
I phoned the William deGarthe Art Gallery in Peggy's Cove this morning expecting to get a Covid closure recorded message but was surprised when a staff member answered. We had an interesting conversation where I asked about a design change that might possibly have been made before extensive work was done in the area to the left of St. Elmo. I sent a copy of this image to the gallery for their reference, as the differences were a complete surprise to both of us. I asked why the original design might have been modified. Was there any chance that rendering a sailing vessel in stone might have presented problems... details such as lines / rigging being unsuitable for presenting in rough stone? Had he left any notes regarding the work that might include a reference to the design change? It's interesting to imagine what the finished mural would look like (on that end), had work on the original design been carried out to completion.
Concerning his tools used for the project... I remember the rock hammer/drill being heavy and awkward to hold... even with the extra side handle. It was NOISY, and vibrated like crazy... and this was when it wasn't in contact with the rock. I know he wore glasses, a good thing with stone chips and particles flying about, but I cannot remember if he wore any kind of ear protection. His working for so long on this project, using power tools of this nature, could have resulted in some kind of work related disability. I cannot remember the manufacturer of the power hammer he was using that day... wish I could.
Mr deGarthe did not live to see the mural completed, passing away in 1983 with about 80% of the work finished.
The camera I used for this image was my first interchangeable lens SLR... a Nikkormat FT-n fitted with a Nikon 35mm f/2.8 lens.I used it for many years, until the exposure meter failed, then replaced it with a used Nikon F3 HP. I always carried a selection of cameras on my photo trips. There would be one 35mm SLR, one 35mm Stereo camera (3D), and usually one medium format camera... a Pentax 6x7, a Century Graphic (2 1/4 x 3 1/4), or a Mamiya Universal Press. I remember having to provide customs officials with a list of equipment and serial numbers going into Canada, declaring that no equipment was for sale, and do the same returning to the US, assuring customs that none of my gear was purchased in Canada. The only time I ever had a problem at customs was in Calais, Maine where a US agent took exception to my having a plaque-mounted set of deer antlers with me, a gift from the cook at the motel in Parrsboro we stayed at for over 30 years. He wouldn't "confiscate" them, suggesting I drive back to Parrsboro and return them. I said that his suggestion made no sense, then he said to go back over the border and leave them alongside the road somewhere. I might have been a bit rude at that point and he called the senior inspector. Since it was a busy time, my line wasn't moving and folks behind me were becoming "restless", they both said they "hadn't seen anything" and told me to "Get lost".

Deutschland / Sachsen-Anhalt - Harz
The Harz is a Mittelgebirge that has the highest elevations in Northern Germany and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The name Harz derives from the Middle High German word Hardt or Hart (hill forest), Latinized as Hercynia. The Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with an elevation of 1,141.1 metres (3,744 ft) above sea level. The Wurmberg (971 metres (3,186 ft)) is the highest peak located entirely within the state of Lower Saxony.
The Harz has a length of 110 kilometres (68 mi), stretching from the town of Seesen in the northwest to Eisleben in the east, and a width of 35 kilometres (22 mi). It occupies an area of 2,226 square kilometres (859 sq mi), and is divided into the Upper Harz (Oberharz) in the northwest, which is up to 800 m high, apart from the 1,100 m high Brocken massif, and the Lower Harz (Unterharz) in the east which is up to around 400 m high and whose plateaus are capable of supporting arable farming.
The following districts (Kreise) fall wholly or partly within the Harz: Goslar and Göttingen in the west, Harz and Mansfeld-Südharz in the north and east, and Nordhausen in the south. The districts of the Upper Harz are Goslar and Göttingen (both in Lower Saxony), whilst the Lower Harz is on the territory of Harz and Mansfeld-Südharz districts (both in Saxony-Anhalt). The Upper Harz is generally higher and features fir forests, whilst the Lower Harz gradually descends into the surrounding area and has deciduous forests interspersed with meadows.
The dividing line between Upper and Lower Harz follows approximately a line from Ilsenburg to Bad Lauterberg, which roughly separates the catchment areas for the Weser (Upper Harz) and Elbe (Lower Harz). Only on the southeastern perimeter of the Upper Harz, which is also called the High Harz (Hochharz) (Goslar, Göttingen and Harz districts), does the mountain range exceed 1,000 m above NN on the Brocken massif. Its highest peak is the Brocken (1,141 m), its subsidiary peaks are the Heinrichshöhe (1,044 m) to the southeast and the Königsberg (1,023 m) to the southwest. Other prominent hills in the Harz are the Acker-Bruchberg ridge (927 m), the Achtermannshöhe (925 m) and the Wurmberg (971 m) near Braunlage. In the far east, the mountains merge into the East Harz foothills (Harz district, Saxony-Anhalt), which are dominated by the Selke Valley. Part of the south Harz lies in the Thuringian district of Nordhausen.
The Harz National Park is located in the Harz; the protected area covers the Brocken and surrounding wilderness area. Approximately 600,000 people live in towns and villages of the Harz Mountains.

Der Harz, bis ins Mittelalter Hart (‚Bergwald‘) genannt, ist ein Mittelgebirge in Deutschland und das höchste Gebirge Norddeutschlands. Er liegt am Schnittpunkt von Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen. Anteil am Harz haben im Westen die Landkreise Goslar und Göttingen, im Norden und Osten die Landkreise Harz und Mansfeld-Südharz und im Süden der Landkreis Nordhausen. Der Brocken ist mit 1141,2 m ü. NHN der höchste Berg des Harzes und Sachsen-Anhalts.
Im Harz, der von artenreicher Flora und Fauna geprägt ist, gibt es ausgedehnte Wälder, teils landwirtschaftlich genutzte Hochflächen, tief eingeschnittene Täler mit wilden Flussläufen und Wasserfällen sowie Stauteiche und Stauseen. Vielerorts gibt es Zeugnisse einer langen Siedlungsgeschichte. Zudem sind Wintersportgebiete vorhanden, und der Harz ist Wandergebiet.
Der Harz enthält den Nationalpark Harz, drei Naturparks (Harz (Niedersachsen), Harz/Sachsen-Anhalt und Südharz) und das Biosphärenreservat Karstlandschaft Südharz. Das Mittelgebirge liegt im Südteil des Geoparks Harz – Braunschweiger Land – Ostfalen.
Im Harz und in seiner unmittelbaren Umgebung befinden sich mit Goslar, Quedlinburg, der Lutherstadt Eisleben und dem Oberharzer Wasserregal zahlreiche UNESCO-Weltkulturerbestätten.
Das Gebirge ist 110 Kilometer lang und 30 bis 40 Kilometer breit, bedeckt eine Fläche von 2.226 km² und reicht von Seesen (im Westen) bis zur Lutherstadt Eisleben (im Osten). Der größte Anteil des Harzes liegt in Sachsen-Anhalt (Landkreise Harz und Mansfeld-Südharz), der Westteil in Niedersachsen (Landkreise Goslar und Göttingen); nur ein kleiner Teil im Süden liegt in Thüringen (Landkreis Nordhausen).

This pigeon was quite a distance from me but the Kenko 1.4 extender helped me get close. The extender is very useful when the light is good especially when coupled with a prime lens. When the subject is in bright sunshine there will be a barely discernable fall in sharpness and just a marginal loss of contrast. Things that can easily be corrected with the right software. The biggest fault with extenders though is that focusing becomes less accurate. The EF 300mm f/4L lens is great for pin point focusing but coupled with the extender it becomes less accurate. A great buy nevertheless for those looking to extend their reach with just a minimal additional expence.
