Back to Dorridge Station in the rain.
I had hoped for it to be drier in Dorridge, but was a bit too wet. Did find a park before I headed back to the station.
The London Midland service to Dorridge terminates at platform 3. While Chiltern Railways uses platforms 1 and 2 (not all trains stop there). On a Sunday's, the London Midland service to / from Dorridge is one per hour.
The station was built by the Great Western Railway in 1852, on their line from Birmingham to Oxford. In the past, the station was known as Knowle and Dorridge, as it also serves the nearby village of Knowle. Prior to electrification of the former LMS line from London Euston to Birmingham New Street the former GWR London Paddington - Birkenhead Woodside trains passed through the station but did not stop.
The station was renamed from Knowle to Dorridge on 6 May 1974.
distant footbridge and level crossing at Mill Lane.
For some reason the view from the station, the tracks seem to curve around.
Bunchrew Level Crossing with automatic half barriers - converted from automatic open crossing (AOCL) to AOCL+B in August 2013.
A ground-level offside view of Go-Ahead London's RML 2305 in Terminus Place in Victoria prior to the vehicle leaving on the start of its next scheduled trip on the special 811 shuttle service to the Chelsea Flower Show at the Royal Hospital. Delivered new to London Transport in September 1965 RML 2305's first garage in service was at the former Godstone (GD) bus garage where it was not a London Transport Country Area green RML but a London Transport Central Area red RML which was used on routes 409, 410 and 411 as temporary cover prior to Godstone getting their allocated batch of green RMLs for use on these three routes. In its later years in normal passenger service in London RML 2305 operated with London General on route 11 out of the Waterloo Red Arrow (RA) base and also on routes 14 and 22 out of Putney (AF) bus garage where in the summer of 2002 the vehicle was treated to all-over gold vinyls to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations. Upon its last major overhaul at Aldenham Works RML 2305 carries the former body of RML 2390.

Being a sharp border between Mediterranean and continental climates, Velebit has incredibly rich flora, resulting in 2274 plant species (3 times more than Britain has for example), and numerous climate zones in such a short distance.
Autumn on the mountain lasts almost two months, which is how long it takes for colors to descent from mountains tops to the coast.
That is well illustrated here above Velika Paklenica valley, for example. Trees are bare in higher elevations for quite some time now, while autumn is in full swing in the mid elevations and all the way down the valley it is still green.
Gray cloud cap is the result of south wind, here called Jugo, which brings lot of moisture from the Adriatic. Once it slams into the mountain it begins to climb and cool down, turning into thick stratus and cumulus clouds that swallow upper half of the mountain.
Now I do an urban level crossing. And this one is rather nice in the city of Lincoln complete with foot bridge.
The High-Level Panel (HLP) for Women’s Economic Empowerment presents its first report to the United Nations Secretary-General. The report findings highlight seven drivers to unlock the power of women to work and achieve their financial independence, such as tackling adverse norms and discriminatory laws, reducing and redistributing unpaid work and care, increasing access to loans and changing discriminatory business practices.
The Panel, created by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon earlier this year, aims at placing women’s economic empowerment at the top of the global agenda to accelerate progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The list of speakers included:
HLP Co-Chairs Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera, President of Costa Rica, and Simona Scarpaleggia, CEO of IKEA Switzerland. Panel members Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women; Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of Oxfam International; Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund; Jim Kim, President of The World Bank Group and Guy Ryder, Director-General of the International Labour Organization. Government representatives include Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica; Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway; and Priti Patel, Secretary of State for International Development, the United Kingdom.
The event was held in the ECOSOC chamber at UN headquarters on 22 September 2016.

A tram and train meet at the soon to be removed at-grade crossing in Glen Huntly (the station is named Glenhuntly). Setting up a meet like this took over an hour, but was well worth the wait.
Key leveling block is used to block #1 and #88 keys to proper height. Then a straight edge is used to level the others.
The rambling, weird, occasionally racist, often animal-centric graffiti of an anonymous woman in Kowloon, Hong Kong. She writes about dogs, cats and other pets, often about their mistreatment. She also often includes the words "Anglican" "Scotts" or "Scotland" and the number 1497 in what she writes.

Saw my specialist today. 62.2 is my current igG (Cancer level). Starting 4th chemo treatment next week in injection and pill form for my multiple myeloma

It wasn't Veteran's Day or Memorial Day or even the 4th of July, but in the grand ballroom of the Double Tree Hotel by Hilton in Alsip, it looked like all three celebrations rolled into one.
On Tuesday, October 15th, Cook County Commissioner, Joan Murphy, along with Vitas Innovative Hospice Care, Dignity Memorial and Double Tree Hotel by Hilton sponsored and hosted the 2nd annual "Salute to Our Armed Forces" celebration. Men and women who have served during war as well as peace time were honored for their contributions and their sacrifices. Guest speakers included Joan Murphy and Col. Jill Morgenthaler (Retired). After inspirational speeches, prayers for POWs and MIAs, and flag presentations, every veteran present went up to be announced by name, branch of service and war served.
The Col. highlighted her career, from being one of the first women to ever join ROTC, to being the first female commander in the Army Security Agency Group in Korea, and many other firsts/achievements throughout her long career. Col. Morgenthaler's devotion to all veteran's is evident when she speaks, letting civilians see the level of loyalty and true camaraderie among all that have served.
Once the colonel was finished, the different branches were called and each veteran present was announced by name and given a medallion and a certificate. The Pointe attended with four residents who had served:
Hank Z. - Marines
Martha K. - Army
Bob S. - Air Force
Lester J. - Army
Overall, the presentation was inspiring and heart warming. It was nice to see so many men and women honored for their duty. There were veterans who looked like they were barely out of their teens to men and women who were in their late 90s. It was also a nice reminder that we don't need a calendar to tell us when to appreciate our veterans; any day, including a rainy Tuesday in October can be that day.
A huge thanks to all of those that made this day and this celebration possible!!

ich wünsche allen ein Frohes Osterfest , leider dieses Jahr im Schnee , aber der Frühling kommt mit großen Schritten
Lìjiāng (simplified Chinese: 丽江; traditional Chinese: 麗江) is a prefecture-level city in the northwest of Yunnan province, People's Republic of China. It has an area of 21,219 square kilometres and had a population of 1,244,769 at the 2010 census.
HISTORY
Lijiang City replaced the former administrative region of Lijiang Prefecture. It was under the rule of the Mu family (木氏) local commanders (土司) during the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.
The Baisha Old Town was the political, commercial and cultural center for the local Naxi people and other ethnic groups for 400 years from the year 658 AD to 1107 AD. The Dabaoji Palace of the Baisha Fresco, very close to the Baisha Naxi Hand-made Embroidery Institute, was built in the year 658 AD in the Tang Dynasty (618 AD to 960 AD).
In ancient times, the Baisha Old Town used to be the center of silk embroidery in the southwest of China and the most important place of the Ancient Southern Silk Road, also called the Ancient Tea and Horse Road or Ancient tea route. The Ancient Southern Silk Road started from Burma, crossed Lijiang, Shangri-La County, Tibet, journeyed through Iran, the Fertile Crescent, and ultimately to the Mediterranean Sea.
Naxi women were well known for their hand-made embroidery before 1972 during the Great Cultural Revolution. The most famous Naxi masters were arrested and put in jail, some of them died in jail during the Cultural Revolution because they did hand-made embroidery only for the Naxi Emperors when they were young.
GEOGRAPHY
Lijiang is located in the northwestern portion of Yunnan and borders Sichuan. It is in a region where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau converge.
Owing to its low latitude and high elevation, the city centre of Lijiang experiences a mild subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb). Winters are mild and very dry and sunny (>70% possible sunshine), although average lows in December and January are just below the freezing mark; January, the coolest month, has a 24-hour average temperature of 6.0 °C. Spring begins early and remains dry and sunny until late May, when there is a dramatic uptick in frequency and amount of rainfall that lasts until late September. Summers are warm, rainy (more so than it is sunny) and damp, with June, the warmest month, averaging 18.4 °C. Autumn sees an abrupt reduction in rainfall and return to sunniness. The annual mean temperature is 12.70 °C, while precipitation averages 968 mm, around 80% of which occurs from June to September. With monthly percent possible sunshine ranging from 32% in July to 80% in December, the city receives 2,463 hours of bright sunshine annually.
OLD TOWN
The world famous Old Town of Lijiang is located in Lijiang City. It is a UNESCO Heritage Site.
The town has a history going back more than 800 years and was once a confluence for trade along the old tea horse road. The Lijiang old town is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges. The old town of Lijiang differs from other ancient Chinese cities in architecture, history and the culture of its traditional residents the Nakhi people, therefore people there are called 胖金哥 and 胖金妹 (pàng jīn gē, pàng jīn mèi, male and female respectively). The town was ruled by the Mu Family during the portions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a period of nearly 500 years.
Overlooking Lijiang Old Town is Lion Hill and at its summit is the Wangu Pavilion, which is a wooden building that stands 33 m tall and boasts 10,000 dragon carvings. The pavilion is constructed on 16 columns each of 22 m in height. The pavilion is a masterpiece of Qing Dynasty architecture that has been extensively restored following the designation of Lijiang Old Town as a UNESCO Heritage Site.
From Lion's Hill it is possible to view the entire Li River valley, including both the old city and new city of Lijiang. Looking Northwest, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is dominates the horizon.
The Old Town is a maze of winding cobblestone streets. It is extremely easy to get lost as there is no grid, but each turn takes one to some new interesting spot, and it's not hard to eventually find one's way out of the maze and back to familiar territory. The layout of the town was established to conform to the flow of 3 streams in adherence to Feng Shui design, so there was water and waste disposal for the inhabitants. The Old Town has fast become a destination for young Chinese artists, students, and adventurers. Most recently, it has become a favored Spring Break destination for students. "Bar Street" is a line of clubs with live music, dancing, and revelry. The Old Town has a multitude of shops, some a bit tourist oriented, but several showcasing handcrafts, individual artists, and local manufacturers of interesting personal products.
There are dozens of restaurants, from snacks to high end dining, all very reasonably priced, cheap by Western standards.
Accommodations are varied, but the most interesting are the large number of boutique hotels run by individuals and families. These boutique hotels are in old traditional houses converted to rooms, courtyards, and gathering places, and designs all trend to traditional Chinese sensibilities. There are new high end hotel and condominium developments starting construction from 2011 forward, so there is a definite push to make the destination one for all tastes and not just young adventurers.
NEARBY
Some tens of miles north of Lijiang is the Baishui Terrace (白水台 Baishuitai, literally "White Water Terrace"), an area where spring water flows over a sinter terrace, leaving behind travertine. Lijiang is also close to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山).
A few miles north of Lijiang is the village of Baisha, famous for the Baisha Fresco and the Naxi Hand-made Embroidery Institute.The Fresco was built in the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, the Naxi Hand-made Embroidery Institute was built 800 years ago, it is the headquarters of the Naxi embroideries and also, a school for the Naxi embroiderers. There are many Naxi embroidery masters, teachers, students and local farmers there. Their embroidery arts can be found there.
WIKIPEDIA
In this Jan. 2010 pic, I got the business side of the Tomcat. Sadly most of my nose shots were of the right side, not the one I wanted... but at least I'm currently pic #1000 in Extreme Weather Aviation.
I did adjust levels in photoshop so the canopy was clearly visible and also wanted the markings through color saturation to stand out. Nice effects all around that make me think this was HDR, but isn't.
Best viewed original. It's 14.2x9.5 inches so some cropping may be necessary before printing.
You may want to see the other side - in HDR.
