Three trains run each way on the Northern section of the Cumbrian Coast line on a Sunday. Not much on the roads either! Workington's railway station is the second one to occupy the site. The first one was built at the opening of the original line and replaced by the LNWR who took over the Furness Junction and Workington & Cockermouth lines in 1866. The station in its present form was first known as Workington LNWR and at the grouping it was renamed Workington Main. Since the end of steam the station has simply been referred to as 'Workington' railway station.
The building itself was built with yellow Crewe bricks There was also a twelve road engine shed, wagon repair shops, a coaling stage, a goods shed and a stable block, all built with local sandstone. It goes without saying that all this is no more, although the engine shed was recently dismantled and transported to the Great Central Railway at Loughborough where it will be re-erected.

Vancouver's MetalCraft Firestorm 40 at the Westminster Pier fire
Vancouver Fire Rescue Services responded to the Westminster Pier fire with their MetalCraft Firestorm 40 with twin Darley ZSM 3000 pumps, you can see how well the boat knocked down the fire with their Elkhart Spitfire monitors. The boat was operating in very shallow water where no normal fireboat could operate.

I took quite a few pictures during a session yesterday. The best part of the music he was playing. It's quite an experience making pictures while listening to real music.
I love making low key images. This is an attempt to create a backlit image and at the same time keeping it low key.
Strobist Info: Same setup as my previous shot. The only difference is I increased the power on the SB-600 behind him.
Some pictures of a blazing barge carrying wrecked cars. The Victoria BC FireStorm 30 did a great job.
The smoke could be seen from far away, bad smoke, gas tanks exploding, it was quite a scene.
These shots were taken in collaboration with Ian Macdonald-Smith, check out his amazing works: www.imacsmith.com
Continued inaction on climate change is impacting communities and ecosystems across the north. One of these affected communities is Santa's workshop.
"I just don't know what to do" said Santa, "the ice is breaking up, the reindeer (caribou) can't find food, and the elves are absolutely distraught."
Members of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition helped Santa, his elves, the caribou and the polar bears reach the federal government by setting up a homeless shelter outside Environment Minister Rona Ambrose's constituency

So I am just putting this here because I obviously need to put on my big girl panties and be accountable for actions, or maybe more accurately my inactions?
I have several projects that I have started and not finished, and they really need to be finished. I hate craft guilt.
So I am laying all out here for every one to read maybe it will give me a boot in the ass and get me working on things that I have been outting off.
* #1 on my list: I REALLY really need to finish up the blocks for my very patient bee block partners. I am disgustingly over do especially considering that my month was the 1st month and they all got theirs to me in a timely fashion.
*Harry Potter Swap that I am doing with one of my best buddies Jeni! (this is pretty lax though)
*Finish up this ukulele bag. Just need to attach the back and bind the edges.
*Get this queen size quilt quilted and bound for my awesome friend Carrie.
*finish up this nightmare Galaga quilt for my husband that has been sitting in the naughty pile for over a year now.
So there you have it. Not a very big list but they are pretty big projects, I think.
Time to buckle down and get it done, Amanda!! ok done now. :)
For the longest time, this cemetary didn't have a sign. Minolta XG-1, which froze into inaction 3 shots later.
A frozen statement on global climate change and inaction by the public and the Canadian government, while participating in the 2009 Polar Bear Swim in Vancouver, BC, Canada. What better time to raise the issue of the imminent threat facing Polar Bears (and the other environmental and societal impacts of climate change) than at the Polar Bear Swim?

One of the first maternal and child health centres in Victoria = included on the Victorian Heritage Register but looking a little bit sadder in its "Boroondara" era than when it was "City of Kew" managed.

Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The health of mothers and infants became of increasing concern in the first decades of the twentieth century. The early baby health movement was driven by committed volunteers frustrated at government inaction. Dr Isabella Younger Ross (1887-1956) who had studied infant health in England helped set up Victoria?s first baby health clinic in Richmond in 1917. By 1918 the voluntary Victorian Baby Health Centres Association (VBHCA) was formed to oversee the growing number of centres. Financial support also came from local councils and in 1926 the State government formed the Infant Welfare Section of the Public Health Department and appointed Dr Vera Scantlebury Brown as the first Director.
Kew Council opened the municipality's first baby health centre at the Kew Town Hall on 5 November 1920. Some other councils, such as Coburg, were also opening temporary centres around this time apparently prompted by the pneumonic influenza epidemic. The centre built at Kew East is one of the first permanent baby health premises in Victoria. It was opened by the Countess of Stradbroke in December 1925. It was designed by the Kew City Building Surveyor, Mr R. Chipperfield, and built by Messrs Murphy and Pearce at a cost of £1200. The roughcast rendered Californian Bungalow style building has some English Cottage or Arts and Crafts associations and is set in garden surroundings. With its tiled roof, boxed double-hung windows, louvred sliding shutters, heavy piers supporting a large 'L'-shaped verandah, tall chimneys and masonry flower boxes, it exemplifies the trend of early centres to mirror popular domestic architecture.
How is it significant?
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre is of historical, architectural and social significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre, as one of the earliest purpose-built baby health centres in Victoria, is of historical significance for its associations with the history of maternal and infant welfare in Victoria. It is the oldest known centre surviving in an intact state, and demonstrates the strength of community concern about infant and maternal welfare prior to official government involvement. The building retains its original purpose and function to this day.
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre is of architectural significance as an intact example of an early baby health care centre. As a building constructed in the Californian Bungalow style, it is important for its high degree of external integrity, in particular for its unpainted roughcast rendered exterior and stylistic detailing. Importantly, the building is representative of many subsequent baby health centres of the inter-war period built in the domestic style, a style which demonstrates a philosophical association between early baby health centre designs and the ideal suburban house, both traditionally perceived as the domain of women and children. The building is of further interest for demonstrating a concern for the health of babies by incorporating into its design good floor ventilation, flyscreens on doors and windows, a spacious verandah, and sliding, louvred window shutters.
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre is of social significance for its enduring civic value to the community. As a baby health centre, the building is socially and culturally important for marking phases in the lives of mothers and infants. Designed to resemble a typical middle class suburban house in a garden setting, the purpose-built centre remains a symbol of domesticity and stability. The building of a permanent baby health centre was also symbolic of a culturally progressive caring society, a place associated with new scientific ideas, and professionally designed programs designed to improve the health education of women raising families in the suburbs.
