Point of Air Lighthouse, Talacre Beach, Dee Estuary, North Wales.
I tip my hat to D50Manchester for this. We were on our way back home from a few days in North Wales when I spotted the signpost for Talacre Beach and remembered his wonderful shot of this same lighthouse.
;-) Only when I have come to paste a link in from his 'stream that I have realised the more than striking similarity of composition. This is entirely unintentional - my sincere apologies to you D50Manchester! (A big thank you for bringing this beautiful landscape to our attention though - we were knocked out by the place!!)

John served as our guide for 3 days on Mt. Mulanje. I only saw him break a sweat once, and he never seemed to be breathing heavily.
Like most Mulanje guides, John started by carrying firewood down the mountain as a boy, and eventually went through the training course to become a certified guide.
This is at the overlook near Thuchila Hut, looking towards Chambe Peak. John had told me a couple days before that this was his favorite lookout on the whole mountain. I could see why.
This week's Humble Offering of Humbility is brought to you by I'S BUSY! So here's a Kansas Cityscape. It's a view from the 20th floor of my work. Alas, it's a vantage I'll no longer have as we're moving offices (hence the busyness). So I decided to take you on a little note tour to help spice it up/make it as annoying as possible.
Have a creative non-busy week, everyone!

This is the front cover to the Border Forest Park one of a series of guides were issued for by the state owned Forestry Commission and that included The Border, Snowdonia, Cambrian Forests, Glamorgan Forests, The Forest of Dean & Wye Valley, Westbirt Arboretum, the New Forest and Bedgebury Pinetum.
At the time these forests were being managed to redevelop the nation's home timber stocks after wartime depletion and the conifer monoculture that often prevailed was to be heavily criticised. That said the Forest Parks, along the National Parks, were and still are a remarkable national asset for leisure and recreation.
This front cover is dominated by a very period scene of foresters amongst the Border landscape and still using traditional methods of felling and transportation at a time when mechanisation of both activities would have been in full swing. The artist is the wonderful George Edward Mackley (1900 - 1983) who, in my opinion, is one of the best of the many British mid-20th century artists who rediscovered wood engravings. This is a boxwood engraving and even allowing for printing and reproduction it is a fine piece of work. Oh that modern guides, where issued, still were of this standard of artistry and production.
Be my guiding light......
This has to go down as one of the toughest photos I have ever captured. After walking down to the lighthouse in the pitch black, we sat, drank tea, and simply had our breath taken away by the light show in the sky!
A truly amazing experience to see :)

it was just a bit too big for the scanner so some of the illustrations have been cut off on the left. There is a lot of detail in this piece, including comparisons with some of the other cars of the time, both imports and domestic.
Yes, I said salesperson, even though at that time it was very unlikely that any women were selling cars. The term Salesman was in wide use.

11/4/1979. A Scottish allocated loco away from its territory eases its train through Guid Bridge station.
Many bus and coach operators issued publicity guides to 'sell' their network and this, from the mid-1920s, is typical. One thing was less common in that the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co Ltd. (whose magnificent title survived past the end of their tramways operation and into the 1950s!) were one of the few operators who built their own buses and coaches. The Bristol factory at Brislington would in fact, over the coming decades, churn out thousands of well-regarded vehicles that many other operators purchased, particularly in the nationalised years when Bristol had a 'captive' audience.
This edition of the guide shows a Bristol 'charabanc' on the Open Road, typical of the image of coach trip of the era and at a time when road motor transport was starting to make serious inroads into railway excursion travel. The booklet details 37 tours that the Company ran across the South West of England, many 'local' but including some fairly lengthy runs to destinations such as Stratford upon Avon and Bournemouth. The routes are shown on the two maps.
This edition fo the guide is produced by E Burrow & Co Ltd of Cheltenham, a publisher who became dominant in the niche market of 'official' guides and handbooks. The guide also conatins two adverts - one for the company's charabanc tours and another for the charabancs themselves. At the time the Commercial Vehicle section of the company, based at Brislington, was able to sell to the open market and their chassis were highly regarded.
A pararescueman guides his blindfolded teammate through a series of ropes for a combat leader exercise during the 2014 Guardian Angel Rodeo in Grants, New Mexico, Sept. 23, 2014. The rodeo, or competition, was a week-long event that tested the PJs on land navigation skills, high-angle rope rescues, survival techniques, medical skills, weapons operations and overall physical endurance.
