I had no idea there was a mini beer garden right outside Penn Station! It was closed, though.

The local P75 heads south on the Southern's R Line past the neat little town of Summit, SC, moving fairly slow and having some issues with its PTC equipment. P75 is heading to Monetta, SC where it will do work before returning to Andrews Yard in Columbia, SC.
66093 is caught on the approach to Llanishen station in Cardiff back in 2021 with another load of local coal for Aberthaw. 6C83 11:30 Cwmbargoed Opencast Colliery to Margam Terminal Complex.
This is a lovely rural site, friendly staff, friendly locals, not outrageously expensive and a nice place to fill up. The lady who runs the place makes the best flapjack I have ever tasted, now there's a recommendation!
Richard has a photo of this place taken in 2015 when it looked exactly the same, see below. As he says, it looks like a former Shell site. He didn't have that annoying speck of dust on his lens though! There's an image of the garage from 2011 on Geograph.org where the pole sign had a different design but still looked like a former Shell sign.

I went back to this place a couple of days later to buy more flapjack and to take some more photos, they will follow in a few week's time!

Note, I took this photo on the way back later in the day when the speck of dust had been discovered and removed!
After switching at the Ashcroft Treating Plant, CP 5794 heads west towards Ashcroft with this local freight. I had never seen a crew member riding at the front of the loco like this before.
The largest allocation of single deckers operated by Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire's Preston base, the company operates 28 in various guises from their standard configuration to the recently transferred Gold-spec examples having been made surplus to requirements by Rock Ferry. All of the Alexander Dennis Enviro300s are integrals, fitted with the body's own chassis.
Repainting of the fleet is well underway with both Gold and standard examples having received Local colours; the allocation is constantly changing as the fleet is often swapped between the main bases between Chester, Gillmoss, Preston and Rock Ferry.
Local 27114, a long time Preston resident has since made the move over to Chester, allowing for Alexander Dennis Enviro400s to return back to Preston after periods of being on loan.
Alexander Dennis Enviro300 27114 (SN14 LNJ) leaves Preston Bus Station on 111 to Leyland, Moss Side.

Jealous eyes never shut: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera
Discussing Santeria religion at the local library in Trinidad, Cuba.
Of all the New World societies, Cuba received captives from the greatest mix of African origins. They came from all parts of the coast and interior of western Africa, their numbers dwarfing all reliable estimates of the number of captives brought to the entire United States. Between 500,000 and 700,000 Africans reached Cuba, the majority arriving in the nineteenth century. The size, diversity, and continual replenishment of this population allowed a rich array of African-inspired religions to flourish there, even beyond the end of the slave trade.
The gods of West Africa are called orisha in Yoruba, oricha in Spanish. Yoruba people also speak of a supreme being, Olorun or Olodumare, whose power or life-energy, called ashe, becomes manifest through both ancestral spirits and the orisha. In Cuba, as in Haiti, West African gods became paired with Roman Catholic saints in syncretistic relationships. In Cuba, the ruler of lightning, called Shango in Yoruba and Chango in Spanish, is identified with St. Barbara. Ogun, the lord of iron and technology, is identified with St. George, Babalu Aye is identified with St. Lazarus, and Yemaya, goddess of the sea, with Our Lady of Regla, the patroness of a Havana suburb.
Took a walk around the Dysynni River. Plenty of birds about but not many flying. Nice to finally have some sunshine :)
Sadly this independent operator in Torbay is de-registering its services. Though they are busy and serve areas that wouldn't otherwise have a service, most of the passengers are pensioners on free passes - and the council reimbursement simply isn't enough to make it viable.
This is Cockington Village, a scenic tourist hotspot on the outskirts of Torquay.
My current photography project is on the local shop keepers of Horbury and their businesses. I have been taking images of the owners and colleagues in their premises. The focus is on the person with all their products in shot, showcasing their shop as it is on an average day. I started this because I think local independent shops are a part of what keeps small communities together. As I have spent time taking the photos I have come to see the good relationships the shop keepers have with the local public, how many of them are on first name terms and how much the local community supports the local shops and services.

This is a paper, five pound bank note, 'No. 19993', issued by the Brighthelmston Bank on 1 July 1841. On the left hand side of the bank note is the logo of the bank. Stamped in black print on the reverse of the bank note is 'At the Town Hall, Brighton, the 8th day of November, 1842.' and 'Exhibited under a Fiat in Bankruptcy against Isaac Newton Wigney and Clement Wigney.' The bank was forced to close in March 1842, ruining many people and forcing the resignation of Isaac Wigney as a Member of Parliament for Brighton.
