I quite like the turquoise and orange colour combination here, as Gemini 2 36172 passes Streetdeck 35141. As I found with NCT's E400 Cities, turquoise liveried buses seem to be particularly pleasing on the eye, and the route 13 livery was certainly my favourite Network Norwich colour seen on the Gemini 2s.
I would never have expected a Streetdeck of all things to look nice, but First have managed it here with these spotlessly presented orange ones for routes 21 and 22. I still think the styling is questionable, but compared to those ugly orange ones in Reading, the Norwich ones look fantastic! Just a shame I was a bit too late to catch the Presidents working on the orange line.

Britain’s first daily newspaper was published in London on 11 March 1702 in somewhat unusual circumstances: it was produced by a man who turned out to be a woman; it carried no news about England, only from abroad; and it didn’t offer any opinions, leaving its readers to make up their own minds.
The paper was called the Daily Courant and was produced at a house near the King’s Arms inn near Fleet Bridge by Elizabeth Mallet, who found it a good career move to pretend it was all done by a man. Women weren’t supposed to do that sort of thing in those days, although, curiously, the only paper which also claimed, less successfully, to be Britain’s first – the Norwich Post – was also run for a while by a woman called Elizabeth – Elizabeth Burges.
Elizabeth Mallet’s journal consisted of two pages, with foreign news on the front and advertisements on the back. It is not clear why she chose to report only foreign news, but it may have been that it was considerably cheaper than paying for home news. She was way ahead of her time in presuming that her readers had “sense enough to make reflections for themselves“. Not many papers today would follow that approach.

First light at the pier when I arrived at the beach this morning. You can really see just how low the tide was, creating some lovely lines in the sand along with the awesome reflections. This was taken using a 25 second exposure to get the movement in the clouds.

First Church OKC began as First Methodist Episcopal Church on April 28, 1889, just six days after the land run opened the unassigned land of Oklahoma Territory for settlement. On May 5 the Sunday School was organized and on June 23 the church was chartered with 17 members. The church purchased two lots at 4th and Robinson in August and on October 27 the church building was dedicated. This structure was removed in 1903 to make way for construction of a new sanctuary. Enlargement and improvements to that facility came in 1917.
Following the merger in 1939 of The Methodist Episcopal Church, The Methodist Episcopal Church South and The Methodist Protestant Church, First Church was now part of The Methodist Church, and in 1968 became a part of The United Methodist Church upon the merger of The Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.
On April 16, 1995, First Church celebrated Easter and on April 19 became a part of a much larger story with the bombing of the A. P. Murrah Federal Building across Robinson. Many of its historic stained glass windows were blown out, and the church met first at Oklahoma City University on April 23 and then shared the facilities at Trinity Baptist Church following Trinity's gracious invitation. In 1998 the congregation returned to the property at the corner of 4th and Robinson where a new sanctuary was dedicated and the former sanctuary, now rebuilt, was established as a fellowship hall. The stained glass windows were replicated and can be seen today. A prayer chapel was added and the focal point is a stained glass window commissioned to use pieces of original windows, including the head of Jesus from the Good Shepherd window, which was found unscathed in the rubble following the bombing. The new window includes the words, which so aptly describe the history of First Church and every believer there: "The Lord takes broken pieces, and by His Love makes us whole." A state of the art sanctuary, narthex, family room, and other rooms were the focal area of the new facility. The sanctuary blends both traditional and modern design elements to create a beautiful balance of our rich history and our vibrant spirit.
In 2014, First Church OKC celebrated 125 years in downtown Oklahoma City in the same location where it began.

First Presbyterian Church of Dallas was founded February 3, 1856, by the Rev. Robert Hamilton Byers, stated supply pastor for Presbyterian churches in Rusk and Henderson counties. The church began with eleven members. It lacked a formal place of worship so members met at various times in private homes, a blacksmith shop, a lumber yard, the courthouse, and a printing shop.
In 1873 the congregation erected its first owned building at Elm and Ervay streets. Its second home was built in 1882 at Harwood and Main streets, the first brick church in Dallas. By 1897 this structure had been enlarged and so extensively remodeled that it was considered to be a new (third) building. The style was Victorian eclectic.
The present sanctuary and Harwood Street Educational Building at Harwood and Wood, the congregation's fourth home, were built in 1911-12 by the Alex Watson Construction Company and opened on March 2, 1913. The Greek Revival church edifice was designed by C.D. Hill, a prominent Dallas architect. The Corinthian columns that flank the entrance doors on Harwood and Wood Streets are monolithic - the first in Dallas. Each column was shipped to Dallas on a separate flatcar from Indiana.
The exterior walls contain the original pictorial windows of "art glass." These were prepared by the Kansas City Stained Glass Works Company and shipped to Dallas in 1912. The interior design is a modified Akron Plan. The Akron plan was developed by Akron, Ohio architects (1900–1920) to promote efficiency of movement by congregants between worship and Sunday School. This plan is characterized by a semicircular amphitheater with curved seating, opening to classrooms immediately adjacent to the Sanctuary.
