Here is the vintage Lone Ranger action figure, from a company called Gabriel. I received it from the ever-generous Poe Ghostal. The figure was created as a tie-in to the early-'80s movie, The Legend of the Lone Ranger. Alas, it was no more a popular or critical success than the 2013 film.
See the first comment below for two additional portraits.
One of several astronomical clocks constructed from the 14th through the 16th century in the West of England, the Clock at Wells Cathedral, Somerset, is rather legendary. As the cathedral website notes, it’s the second oldest still-in-use clock mechanism in Britain, and likely the world, to survive in its original condition. Dating back to circa 1390, the interior clock face is the “oldest surviving original of its kind anywhere.” (The original, still-operating mechanisms are now housed in a museum). Age aside, one of the geocentric clock’s most notable characteristics is that it has both interior and exterior dials — that is, there are distinct clock faces viewable from both the interior of the cathedral and from the exterior — the latter was constructed roughly 70 years later but is operated by the same mechanism.
In 2010, the clock made the switch from human winding to electric motor-assisted winding when Paul Fisher — aka the Keeper of the Great Clock of Wells — announced his retirement. Fisher, who hailed from a long line of clock-winders dating back to 1919, was tasked with turning a trio of 250 kg (500 pounds) weights 800 times, three times a week. While performing this 600-year-old-plus ritual was no doubt crucial to the clock’s operation, it had left Fisher eager for retirement: “I'm a bit sad that all these years of history are coming to an end but winding the clock by hand is just so time consuming,” he told the Daily Mail. “By the time you have walked up all the steps and winded the weights it takes at least one hour three times a week.”
The NTWGFD struggles to maintain control of a nearly 10K foot train as it slowly makes its way west through Becker, MN.
Legend says, that there is a magical castle on a land that is somewhere far away from here. Living in a village that is protected by the castle is paradise.
Nobody knows, where that magical land is...

Kōdai-ji is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple that was established in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto in 1606 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s widow, Nene, in honor of her husband. Upon the death of Hideyoshi (1536-1598), Nene took the tonsure and became known by the name of Kōdaijin Kogetsuni,. Upon her passing in 1624 at the age of 76, the temple that she founded (with Tokugawa Ieyasu’s generous patronage), was aptly renamed Kōdai-ji.
The temple’s magnificent garden was supposedly designed by the legendary landscaper, architect, poet and tea master Kobori Enshū (1579-1647) .
The legendary Australian yacht Sayonara - designed by William Fife III - photographed off St. Kilda (Melbourne) on September 2, 1899. The 17.67 m (LOA) x 3.29 m Sayonara is here shown with her original yawl rigging. My restoration and digital hand colorization of Mark James Daniel´s 1899 photo in the Victoria State Library archive.
"Sayonara, Japanese for goodbye, was built for Mr G F Garrard, then commodore of the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria (RYCV) at a time when the largest yacht in Australia were to be seen on Port Phillip Bay.
Designed as a fast cruising yawl with high bulwarks by W Fife of
Scotland, being a sister ship to his own champion Cirego, she was built by Mr A McFarlane of Birkinhead, Adelaide, and launched in November 1897. She then cruised around to Melbourne in record time.
Her first major race was when sailed by Mr A P Agg of the Brighton
Yacht Club in the Intercolonial regatta held on Hobsons Bay, February 1898, where she defeated all opposition including the then undefeated South Australian Champion Alexa to win the major prize of $140.
In no time she proved to be invincible on Port Phillip. She was a
marvel in light weather when she was able to walk away from all
opposition. Then a hard blow was struck when the various clubs decided to put limitations on the sizes of yachts entering important races and regattas.
This decision only affected Sayonara and the Alexa which had remained in Victoria for several years as there was no competition for a yacht of her size in Adelaide.
July 1898, Sayonara was sold to Messrs C D and J A Wallace who decided to keep her at St. Kilda in season 1898/99, when able to, she raced in events of both the RYCV and the St Kilda Yacht Club. In winter 1899 her rig was altered to that of a cutter, increasing her sail area to 2079 sq. ft. Shortly afterwards she was under the sole ownership of C D Wallace. The season 1900/01 she was laid up as her owner was overseas."
In 1912 Sayonara was sold to Sydney, where she has remained ever since under several owners:
"Sayonara was converted to a Bermudan rig and spent the latter years on Pittwater. The yacht has been a well known sight at her mooring off Scotland Island being used for cruising. The previous owner, Mr Hank Kossen, was impressed with the restoration of Waitangi when he inspected the yacht in Sydney during the 1995 Gaffers Regatta. He undertook to advise Col Anderson if he was ever to consider selling Sayonara (which at that time was unlikely).
Late in 1996 Hank advised that he wished to sell Sayonara. A holding syndicate was formed to purchase and transport the yacht to Melbourne and gave her a million-dollar refit before re-launching her in 2000.
She has since been a regular in classic yacht events."
