The cab of ex-BR Auto Trailer No. 231. Built 1951 and preserved in 1964. The forerunner of the DMU, they allowed trains to run back and forth along rural branch lines without the need for the locomotive to detach and run around its train at each end of the journey.
The coach is now preserved at Didcot Railway Centre.
...and out of our desires dreams were born.
And dreams were time limitless, and dreams were space
without measure.

Mariquita is one of the most beautiful classic yachts sailing today. Designed and by William Fife III she was launched in 1911 at Fairlie on the Clyde in Scotland. As a gaff rigged cutter Mariquita is a direct link to the historic Big Class and a forerunner to the J-Class that followed in the 1930′s.
Anno 1910. Tenement house with stores. Architect Aleksandrs Vanags. Former Braun's House. The Art Nouveau style building is designed in the heavy forms of national romanticism, the architecture of which is considered to be the forerunner of functionalism.
Forerunners to modern Brussels sprouts were likely cultivated in Ancient Rome, and possibly as early as the 1200s in what is now Belgium. The first written reference dates to 1587. During the sixteenth century they enjoyed a popularity in the southern Netherlands that eventually spread throughout the cooler parts of Northern Europe.
Brussels sprouts grow in temperature ranges of 7 to 24°C (45 to 75°F), with highest yields at 15 to 18°C (60 to 65°F). Plants grow from seeds in seed beds or greenhouses, and are transplanted to growing fields. Fields are ready for harvest 90-180 days after planting. The edible sprouts grow like buds in a spiral array on the side of long thick stalks of approximately 2-4 feet in height, maturing over several weeks from the lower to the upper part of the stalk. Sprouts may be picked by hand into baskets, in which case several harvests are made of 5-15 sprouts at a time, by cutting the entire stalk at once for processing, or by mechanical harvester, depending on variety. Each stalk can produce 1.1 to 1.4 kg (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), although the commercial yield is approximately 0.9kg (2 pounds) per stalk
(from Wikipedia)
(that stalk produced a huge quantity)
The Memphis Chicks were a forerunner to today's Memphis Redbirds, the Triple-A minor league baseball affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Redbirds play in a ball park that was built for them near downtown. Tim McCarver Stadium, once on the Memphis Fairgrounds property, was unceremoniously demolished in 2005, to be replaced with absolutely nothing. The imprint of the infield can still be seen on an April 2014 aerial photo.
The Holy Monastery of Dionysiou, or 'Nea Petra', stands on a narrow and precipitous rock at a height of 263 ft (80 m) above sea level.
It was founded in the late 14th century. It is renowned for possessing several spiritual treasures, including the icon of ‘Our Lady of the Akathistos Hymn’ (painted by St. Luke himself) as well as the relic of the Forerunner's right hand. It is with this very hand that John the Baptist baptized our Lord Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. The oldest complete portrayal of the Apocalypse in the Orthodox world, too, is located there (as a series of wall paintings).
One definitely must make a pilgrimage to pray there!

There is no direct translation for this expression, which refers to the rays flowing like a light shower through the clouds. Pieds-de-vent, "wind feet", are usually a forerunner of strong winds.
Repurposed as the Neighbourhood centre is this lovely Mechanics Institute building in the small town of Ballan, near Ballarat. There is an interesting iron sculpture outside the front. I liked the modern signage and solar panels contrasting with the older building sign. Mechanics Insitutes were forerunners of the modern public library plus had skill development /learning as their major purpose. Happy Window Wednesday.

Designed to replace the World War II era T-6 trainer, the T-28 Trojan possessed higher performance than its forerunner and was easier to maintain. Also, the Trojan’s tricycle landing gear taught pilots to take off and land in the same fashion as the high-performance aircraft they were training to fly. The first T-28 flew in September 1949, and the T-28A Trojan entered production in 1950. An 800-hp engine powered the U.S. Air Force version (T-28A Trojan) while the later U.S. Navy versions (T-28B and C) were powered by a 1,425-hp engine. When production ended, North American Aviation had built a total of 1,948 T-28's. The USAF replaced the T-28 as a primary trainer in the mid-1950s with the piston-engined Beech T-34 Mentor and jet-powered Cessna T-37. Trojans, however, continued to be flown by the Air National Guard until the late 1950's, and by the U.S. Navy into the 1980's.

Compared to their curvy Lynx forerunner, Leonardo's (Agusta-Westlad) Wildcats are pretty angular, but whereas this spot used to have a low wire fence to shoot over, recently the Airport Authority invested in a six foot high narrow mesh jobbie which for a start is difficult to shoot through, especially (as here) on the angle, but even worse, when someone parks a Cherokee right up against it!
All other vantage points had it against the light!

St. John the Forerunner Orthodox Church, located in the Latgale Suburb of Riga, is a stunning example of Russian Orthodox architecture. The construction of the stone church was started in 1913 according to the project of the Riga Eparchy architect Vladimir Lunsky. After the First World War, which disrupted the construction of the church, the church was damaged by shelling. In 1925, the restoration of the church (completion of construction) was started according to the project of architect Vladimir Shervinsky. The completed church was consecrated on 19 September 1934. It is a cross-domed church, the volumes and decorative elements of which show elements of Art Nouveau (one of the few such places of worship in Riga). The church houses several valuable icons from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Between 1995 and 1996, a bell tower was built, designed by architect P. Štokmanis.
I was happy to see the return of the Sentinels and Covenant in Halo 4. Probably my favorite thing about the campaign is the environments. I wish I had more trans blue for underneath the trans floor parts but I don't feel like buying more parts. I'm sorry the photo quality sucks so much, we loaned our camera to some friends and haven't gotten it back yet.

The broad white backwash at our stern shines into the fierce sun. The ferry boat has just sailed from Dionyssiou monastery, Mt. Athos for Ouranoupolis. The pilgrims to the monastery now onboard had earlier been blessed by paying their devotions to the icon of ‘Our Lady of the Akathistos Hymn’ (painted by St. Luke himself) as well as to the relic of the Forerunner's right hand. It is with this very hand that John the Baptist baptized our Lord Jesus Christ in the Jordan River.

The remnants of the sun casts an orange hue over the Panamint Range on the western edge of Death Valley. The photo was taken as we descended from Dante's Peak in the Black Mountains. Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky, the forerunners of a desert storm which reached us in earnest on the next morning.

Because survival and love are the immortal truths of humankind, no generation is a total stranger to the forerunner generations of humankind...
― Kilroy J. Oldster
The LORD begot me,
the beginning of his works,
the forerunner of his deeds of long ago;
From of old I was formed,
at the first,
before the earth.
When there were no deeps I was brought forth,
when there were no fountains or springs of water;
Before the mountains were settled into place,
before the hills, I was brought forth;
When the earth and the fields were not yet made,
nor the first clods of the world.
When he established the heavens,
there was I, when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep;
When he made firm the skies above,
when he fixed fast the springs of the deep;
When he set for the sea its limit,
so that the waters should not transgress his command;
When he fixed the foundations of earth,
then was I beside him as artisan;
I was his delight day by day,
playing before him all the while,
Playing over the whole of his earth,
having my delight with human beings. (Prov 8:22-31; NABRE)
I was brought forth, I was there, I was beside him—from Bulgakov in the East to Merton in the West the Christian Wisdom tradition hears in these lines the music of an expansive divine-human mystery, a dual hymn evoking not only the presence of Christ, the uncreated Wisdom of God who orders and “plays” in the universe, but also, through Christ’s humanity, as it were, the primordial presence of the human race, created Sophia, in whom God rejoices and delights always...
... This reaching across the threshold of eternity and history, heaven and earth, divinity and humanity, comprises the erotic structure of the whole Bible. Bulgakov thus envisions Sophia as the eros of God become one with creation, the love between Father, Son, and Spirit that “opens room” in God’s self for creation and incarnation. As Merton proclaims, we are “saved by love, yes, even by eros.”..,
... “In me the world is present, and you are present. I am a link in the chain of light and of presence.” The Wisdom tradition gives a positive language, that is, a Name, to an experience that resounds in persons and cultures everywhere: the intuition of nature’s silent receptivity and gratuity, its beauty, mystery, and ontological depth in God—Sophia. Life itself, fundamentally, is on our side.

Hey guys, it's been awhile.
I've been pretty busy with college so I haven't had time to build, but now that Freshman year is over I've had some time. Im currently attending Brickworld for the first time, and it's pretty great. This is a teaser of a new moc that I made in about a week for the con. It's not my best work, so I'm going to fix it up a bit when I get home before posting.

Agios Ioannis [Saint John’s] is a true forerunner of Pelion’s tourist development. In the mid-twentieth century it was gradually transformed from a little fishing settlement into a lovely summer resort at which many were the Greeks who would spend their vacation. In the years that followed Agios Ioannis saw great development to the point that today it is an up-level tourist resort with enviable infrastructure and organization. It has several well-organized hotels and pensions that offer high quality accommodation and service.
Along its main road that runs parallel to the long sand and shingle beach there is a spate of taverns and restaurants, pizzerias, pubs and bars, bakeries, groceries and other business establishments that can cater to all tastes and expectations. Beyond the north end of the beach there is a little port that can accommodate pleasure boats as well.
Despite its rather cosmopolitan atmosphere, Agios Ioannis retains many Pelion characteristics thanks to its proximity to the mountainous villages and to the lush natural surroundings into which the visitor can find other types of activities if he wishes to have a change in his programme.
A forerunner of radar, acoustic mirrors were built on the south and northeast coasts of England between about 1916 and the 1930s. The ‘listening ears’ were intended to provide early warning of incoming enemy aircraft.

"The Frankfurt kitchen was a milestone in domestic architecture, considered the forerunner of modern fitted kitchens, for it was the first kitchen in history built after a unified concept, i.e. low-cost design that would enable efficient work. It was designed in 1926 by Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky for architect Ernst May's social housing project New Frankfurt in Frankfurt, Germany. Some 10,000 units were built in the late 1920s in Frankfurt. In 1930, the Soviet Russian government requested for May to lead a “building brigade” and implement the Frankfurt model when planning new industrial towns in the Soviet Union." More about this kitchen here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_kitchen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Die Frankfurter Küche wurde 1926 im Rahmen des Projekts Neues Frankfurt von Ernst May initiiert und von der Wiener Architektin Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky ausgearbeitet. Sie gilt als der Urtyp der modernen Einbauküche.
Die Frankfurter Küche sollte so praktisch wie ein industrieller Arbeitsplatz gestaltet sein: Alle wichtigen Dinge sollten mit einem Handgriff erreichbar sein und mit einer Vielzahl von Gerätschaften die Arbeitsgänge verkürzt werden. Um die Möglichkeit der schnellen Erreichbarkeit zu erfüllen, war die Küche sehr kompakt gehalten, was den Erfordernissen des breit angelegten Wohnungsbaus entgegenkam. Gleichzeitig stand die Frankfurter Küche für einen hohen Designanspruch."
