I'm assuming this notice from last weekend from the Germantown Kroger was referring to something computer/ network, and/or software related. It just so happens this will likely be applying to myself as well, as I woke up to the sound of my PC making noises that were none too pretty! I suspect the fan on the power supply is going out, and it could take several days before I can get a new one to replace it. In the meantime, unloading and other Flickr activity will likely be more sporadic. Thanks in advance for your patience in this matter!
The laws of Nature are written in the language of mathematics...the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word.

Both pictures were taken from the station footbridge, the goods shed on the right, level crossing and signalbox are common to both images.
D5522 moves slowly west with a van train, most likely bound for Whitemoor yard less than a mile away on October 7th 1968 - picture by 'Barking Bill'. The yard is pretty well full of mineral wagons loaded with coal.
On 25th April 2013, 67023 slows for the station stop with the 1Z61 'Cathedrals Express', Colchester - Carlisle substituting for steamer 60163 'Tornado' which had both air pumps out of action.
Above and to the right of the loco the goods shed was in use as a GBRF inspection depot with 66737 'Lesia' just visible.

'City is building...' - Amsterdam photos and pictures.
A cityscape of Amsterdam with a wide view over the Oosterdok / Docklands area, full of excavations and sheet piling along the train track (to the right) and ramming activities for new buildings - the large bows of the 19th century smoke caps of the Central station are very clear visible to the right on the horizon.
Also you can see above the horizon the two towers and dome of the Nicolas church, in front of the Central Station building.

Found a new enclave with some interesting perspectives of Liberty Place and the PNC Building.
Edited this in between Ballast Point IPAs (Sculpin & Big Eye)…tasty brew.
Enjoy!

„Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen
The Zollverein industrial complex in Land Nordrhein-Westfalen consists of the complete infrastructure of a historical coal-mining site, with some 20th-century buildings of outstanding architectural merit. It constitutes remarkable material evidence of the evolution and decline of an essential industry over the past 150 years.
The Zollverein XII Coal Mine Industrial Complex is an important example of a European primary industry of great economic significance in the 19th and 20th centuries. It consists of the complete installations of a historical coal-mining site: the pits, coking plants, railway lines, pit heaps, miner’s housing and consumer and welfare facilities. The mine is especially noteworthy of the high architectural quality of its buildings of the Modern Movement.
Zollverein XII was created at the end of a phase of political and economic upheaval and change in Germany, which was represented aesthetically in the transition from Expressionism to Cubism and Functionalism. At the same time, Zollverein XII embodies this short economic boom between the two World Wars, which has gone down in history as the “Roaring Twenties.” Zollverein is also, and by no means least, a monument of industrial history reflecting an era, in which, for the first time, globalisation and the worldwide interdependence of economic factors played a vital part.
The architects Fritz Schupp and Martin Kemmer developed Zollverein XII in the graphic language of the Bauhaus as a group of buildings which combined form and function in a masterly way. „
The parts for these do stand about half a plate above the rail, but there are no clearance issues for trains using LEGO's train motor.
Macquarie University Railway Station
Sydney, NSW, Australia.
In recent years there’s been an explosion of new construction work in Sydney outside of the city CBD.
Some interesting new railway stations have been built around Sydney - mainly underground.
Previously, most of the old suburban rail stations were quite bland, so this development has provided for some interesting photo opportunities
Also, there’s been a massive explosion in building construction work in the suburbs with Parramatta being one of the hotspots.
Included in these new developments are new infrastructure for universities such as UTS Sydney.
Another welcome development has been the construction of new libraries by some of the councils.
So I thought it would make a good project to try and document this new urban architecture.
