254013 (43080/81) heads south through Doncaster, 24th February 1979. Doncaster station approaches are in the throws of a major remodelling in connection with the re-signalling of the area from a new Power Signal Box. The bright “white” new ballast is playing havoc with the contrast and colour balance on this series of photographs taken from this vantage point.

Work has commenced on the 28 Million $ land reclamation project of the Onehunga foreshore along Orpheus Drive.
~The construction of 6.8ha of new park land;
~The construction of a pedestrian and cycle bridge;
~The creation of three new sandy beaches;
~The creation of five gravel/shell pocket beaches;
~The construction of a boat ramp;
~The construction of a pedestrian walkway and cycleway; and
~The construction of amenities including: a toilet, park furniture and the upgrade of Orpheus Drive car park.
Many of us are against this as residents in the area. Last we heard, a contract after completion of the project to oversee that the area is regularly kept tidy would be for 2 years...after that it is dependant on the council who currently tend very sporadically to the upkeep of Orpheus Reserve. Rubbish is left along the foreshore front and tagging on rocks etc. I can't see this changing. Also, taking the land out and up to the hillside now makes many homes even more vulnerable to burglaries. There is an excellent neighbourhood watch group in this area at least.
I will be regularly adding photos from the same vantage point as the project progresses.
See what the harbour used to look like prior to work commencing. Photo in comments section below.

This is a confusing time in Portland, as it appears to be spring already.
Meanwhile, back home they have about three feet of snow.
I'm not complaining... I went for a walk in the sun today and I even found a rose. Whoever heard of roses blooming in February?! Crazy.

Charity Awareness Day
Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year. But you can help. By baking and selling cupcakes, you’ll be raising funds to help support families during what can be a very lonely and frightening time, and to provide a brighter future for their babies.
Some facts and figures:
• There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
• Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
• Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
• Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born. Cake A Difference 2011 takes place from 14-20 February 2011. For more ideas on how you can support Bliss contact katiaw@bliss.org.uk
Go ahead, bake my day!

Another month has passed on the 365 project. I have been able to take at least one shot every day but some days have been hard.
Still I am glad for this project without which some of these photos would never have been taken.
