This rare example of railroad technology demonstrates how a steam locomotive was turned around, using only compressed air, over 130 years ago. Acquired by the Texas State Railroad in 1981, the turntable was originally built in the late 1890s by the St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco) Railroad located in Paris, Texas. Starting in 1902, it served a six-stall roundhouse at their Paris rail yard.
Engine number 316 is the oldest locomotive operated on the[Texas State Railroad. This engine was built in 1901 by the A. L. Cooke Locomotive Works for the Texas & Pacific Railway, and is the only operating T. & P. steam locomotive in existence. In 1951 the locomotive was saved from the scrappers torch by a remarkable Lady (who wished to remain anonymous). She purchased the engine and, with help from the T. & P., donated it to the city of Abilene in honor of its' seventy -fifth anniversary as a city. In 1974 the citizens of Abilene graciously donated the locomotive to the newly formed Texas State Railroad State Historical Park.

A very colorful neighborhood in Philadelphia. This is from a photo that I took on my way to work.

Das Baptisterium ist ein frühchristliches Bauwerk aus dem 5. Jahrhundert, ein Beispiel merowingischer Kunst mit orientalischen Einflüssen ...
Das Octogon war sehr klein, das Taufbecken ein rundes Loch im Boden. Ich musste die Kamera mit dem schweren Objektiv tief in die Mitte hinein halten.
Ein Teil meines Kopfes war noch zu sehen. Es waren nur 20% der Aufnahmen scharf und mir fehlten Teile des Raumes.
Es war viel Arbeit die runden fehlenden Absidenabschnitte zu mauern, damit ich euch dieses wunderschöne Gebäude vollständig zeigen kann.
Das Baptisterium war zudem geschlossen. Mir gelang es die Museumsleitung davon zu überzeugen dorthin mitzugehen und die Taufkapelle kurz aufzuschießen.
Passanten, die das mitbekamen, wollten natürlich auch hinein und es wurde noch enger ... ;-) ...

One fifth of me was broken, and the rest was about to collapse. As small petals falling lightly and being carried by the winds.

"There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space, and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition." - Rod Sterling
Even when I am running errands and pressed for time when I go down to Manhatten I try to grab a shot here and there when possible.
The fifth planet was very strange. It was the smallest of all. There was just enough room on it for a street lamp and a lamplighter. The little prince was not able to reach any explanation of the use of a street lamp and a lamplighter, somewhere in the heavens, on a planet which had no people, and not one house. But he said to himself, nevertheless:
"It may well be that this man is absurd. But he is not so absurd as the king, the conceited man, the businessman, and the tippler. For at least his work has some meaning. When he lights his street lamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower. When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep. That is a beautiful occupation. And since it is beautiful, it is truly useful."
What the little prince did not dare confess was that he was sorry most of all to leave this planet, because it was blest every day with 1440 sunsets!
