You know how level crossings always have these antique looking steam train signs. Well for once, here was a level crossing that crossed over a steam line. The tiny but lovely Ravenglass and Eskdale raillway wasn't running quite yet though.
In addition to celebrating the 249th birthday of the United States of America, I also celebrate becoming the proud owner of a Canon EOS R5 Mark II.
This is a photograph from the fourth annual running of the "Mullingar 10" - a 10 mile road race and fun run which was held in Dalystown, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday July 17th 2017 at 11:00. The race was organised by Mullingar Harriers who promoted the event. There was almost 280 participants in the event. The race follows a simple 'figure of 8' route. The race starts from Dalystown National School and heads north briefly to Dalystown cross-roads where there is a left turn which brings runners along the L1122 road. The only real cross-over of the route is at the 2.5 and 7.5 mile mark. The race completes a loop between 2.5 and the 7.5 mile mark which brings runners into the locality of Ballinagore. The final 2.5 miles of the race brings runners back through Cloneheigue and the final 1.5 miles of the race is along straight road heading north back to Dalystown and the finish outside of Wallace's Pub which is just off the N52 road.
The course was a mixture of long straight level sections of road with some short rolling hills which made for a challenging but an overall fair course. The race took place is warm temperatures with a strong southerly breeze in the face of runners for stretches along the route. However some beautiful mature hedgerows along the mostly rural roads provided shade and shelter from the sun for runners. This race has actually had excellent weather for its first four years with some runners saying that temperatures may have even been a bit too high for distance running.
This was the fourth year of the event it has become an annual fixture on the calendar. The running calendar today shows a marked shortage of races at the 10 mile distance and this was one of the original reasons this distance was chosen for this race. Clubs from all over the North Leinster region and beyond were represented today. Refreshments were provided outside Wallace's Pub at the Finish line. Well done to Mullingar Harriers and all the many volunteers who helped make today's race a wonderful success.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

The "lemon" on it's way to Kalgoorlie, known by this nickname by the locals due to it's reliability or lack thereof.

A self indulgent reminds-me-of-childhood shot, but still part of an occasional Somerset series. The levels are lunar industrial landscape pretending to be countryside and I want to bring that out. A couple of farmers stopped in their Land Rover to tell me about a couple of deer they'd spotted, assuming I'd love to stalk them Nikon style, and probably to check I wasn't a wrong 'un. Not sure they'd understand about me taking snaps of bridges and endless sky.
No graphics, proper job boy.

Towneley Level Crossing signal box located alongside the Down East Lancs line by Moseley Road level crossing in Burnley. Tuesday 6th September 2011
Towneley West signal box was a Saxby & Farmer type 9 design fitted with a 26 lever Saxby & Farmer frame built in 1878 for the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company by signalling contractors Saxby & Farmer. The lever frame was replaced at some time by a 24 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame, and the signal box was renamed Towneley Station on 3rd December 1951 when the 624 yard distant Towneley Colliery Sidings signal box was closed. The signal box was renamed Towneley Level Crossing Frame and reduced to a non block post on 7th October 1973 controlling the adjacent level crossing and a crossover when signalling passed to Preston signal box. The lever frame was replaced by a British Railways London Midland Region individual function switch console commissioned on 23rd September 1979, and the signal box was fitted with new window and cladding circa 1990. The signal box was renamed Towneley Level Crossing by the time a replacement Unipart Rail individual function switch console was commissioned on 29th January 2007
Note - although the name change on 3rd December 1951 was amended in the September 1956 sectional appendix supplement and shown in subsequent sectional appendices, the Preston signal box - East Lancashire Re-signalling notice (SN.1330G) shows the box as still being named Towneley West
