For our second month displaying alongside the Towers of Tomorrow exhibit at the Saskatchewan Science Centre we decided to showcase some of the Architecture within our own province.
These builds all happen to be different locations within the City of Regina, including the City Hall area, notable downtown buildings and the Provincial Legislature.
Of our neighbor. Look at how the hive is tied to the tree. It is a kind of walking stick, that locks to the branch above. The hive appears still unoccupied.
It's a rare sight. Nowadays, Malaysia's construction work force consists mostly of foreigners. Malaysia government will be bringing in another 40,000 (legally) more foreigners on top of the 3.1 mil (legal and illegal) who are already residing in Malaysia. They were sitting under the shelter because it was raining.

A local working its way up the Marshall Sub has stopped at Manley, MN to work the Nobles Rock Railroad/Cascade Railcorp interchange. Between the hopper car and the caboose, cars on the shortline can be seen in the distance. September 6, 1999.
A number of industries located in the inner districts of the City of San Francisco retain a rail siding and regularly despatch and receive freightcar traffic. As successors to the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific handle this traffic nowadays and base their local power at a small yard and crew depot at South San Francisco. Activity is concentrated outside the "commuter rush" periods and during the hours of darkness. Here we see an outbound CalTrans commute slowing for a stop at the passenger depot, passing a single UP GP40 waiting at the head of 3 boxcars which are destined for a siding somewhere nearer to central San Francisco later the same evening.
Taken a long time ago and found in my archive. These local gossips, Marjorie, Mara and Sue spotted me out with my camera.

So sayeth my son, Kyle. The tourist! The pose, the tee, the irony - it all just cracks me up. Love this guy!
Couldn't believe my local town of all places 'Chichester' was hosting a Street Art Festival with some of the biggest artists from around the globe. This is the Metro House and a piece of distinctive work by PHLEGM
The Orrville local has nearly as many locomotives as freight cars. This train originated in Mansfield and primarily works industries in Orrville, particularly the J.R. Smucker plant. Leading the train is a trio of GP38-2 locomotives, including one still wearing Conrail markings. The units are in order 5630, 5328 and 5626. The ex-Conrail unit used to be No. 8156 and was ordered by Penn Central.
I am proud of Flint, Michigan's rich automotive history and of the workers who make / made it happen.

Paddle steamers were a popular form of travel in the 1800s. In 1861 Bournemouth's first proper pier was built so that they could add the town to their itinerary. A modest jetty had opened in 1855 to allow passengers to embark and disembark smaller craft.
Steamers called to the pier infrequently to begin with, the first regular service was offered by the Heather Belle in the 1870s, operated by George Burt of Swanage.
Cosens were the biggest operators of paddle steamers in the area and some of the regular steamers to call in at Bournemouth were the Monarch, Balmoral and Queen, although there were many more.
Today the Waverley, operated by the Waverley Excursion Co, is the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world and operates trips around the coastline of Britain, which includes a trip from Bournemouth Pier.
Some steamers took trippers to Cherbourg and would race each other back.
The Bournemouth Queen was built in 1908.
