This is the famous temple of Lord Shiva located at Sibsagar, Assam. Legend says that the top is made of Gold.
Enough clouds finally drifted in this morning to make it a nice sunrise. As you can see, all the leaves have fallen off the black walnut at the overlook. And as the Sun drifts further and further South for the winter, this will be in the few compositions available at this time of year.
I’ve tried to be nice about pointing out the impediments to photography at Monte Sano State Park. But as I’ve found throughout my life, nice doesn’t seem to spur people to action. It’s a shame. I guess I’ll have to try other methods — as much as I hate them. But assuming the word “overlook” has any meaning, maintenance is required to maintain the view.
Oh well. Y’all just enjoy the view. I’ll work on making sure we still have one to enjoy.

Maintenance men for the Hotel Lucerne relaxing on one of the balconies.
The Upper West Side of Manhattan is not lacking for buildings with ornamentation and detail.
Some have landmark status, some have architectural fame, and many are just ordinary apartment buildings that were built in a time when attention was paid to workmanship and excellence in design.
This Hotel is on the same block, but opposite side, of where I live. I can see the back of the hotel from my roof.
For a little perspective, this photo is facing south, and is the front of the building.
I have posted a self-portrait that I did last year with the back of this hotel as my background.
The second photo is the hotel from the side to the right (east side of the building) of this shot.
Cambridge is full of these little quirks and all of them have a "legend" attached to them. The "legend" about this is that it suddenly appeared overnight in the pavement outside Kings College many years ago, and no one knows who or why.
All complete nonsense of course (they all are), we know the artist, we know when and we know the reason, but why spoil the allure of the mystery :-)
Bit late today and a bit busy tonight, so will catch up tomorrow.

We enjoyed something of an EE fest, in the space of a few minutes there was firstly 37100 with another p-way service, 37250 as seen here and finally 40009 working the Heaton to Red Bank empty newsvans.

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

As light fades on this Thursday Aug 22,2019 afternoon . We see Inter County Railway ( ICR ) workers Henry Gomez and Jose Hack finishing up setting a 1971 Airstream that will be used office/break room for the Maintenance area that will be built in the near future as ICR moves locations in the coming months
Maintenance on our R32s cars will keep them on the rails until new R179 cars are delivered. We're doing a limited-scope maintenance makeover on four cars per week.
With their once-gleaming stainless-steel bodies dulled by age and their windows scarred by the negative attention of vandals, MTA New York City Transit's R32 subway cars are living out their final years of service until the arrival of their replacements. In order to make those last trips go more smoothly, however, the cars are "having a little work done."
The "Brightliners," as the Budd-built cars were dubbed upon their introduction into service back in 1964, were the first large fleet of stainless steel cars purchased by New York City Transit and the first corrosion resistant cars placed in service since the ten experimental cars purchased in 1949 by the New York City Board of Transportation.

4G Astroturf Maintenance in Sheviock #4G #Astroturf #Maintenance #Sheviock
the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train has ran from it's Bardstown, KY base since it's inception with a pair of former SR FP7A's except when they've needed maintenance.
RJC FP7A 1940 was built in 1950 as SOU 3497 to SOU 6141 to CNOTP 6141 to RJC 1940.
Both FP7A's were removed from service a few months after this photo & faced an uncertain future for a time. Eventually, it was decided to permanently withdraw them from service. They were placed on display next to the depot they ran from in mid-2025.

Europe, Portugal, Porto, Douro, Vila Nova de Gaia, maintenance shipyard (uncut)
Four barcos rabelos and a touristboat that’s based on the design of the rabelo on a small maintenance shipyard in Vila Nova de Gaia. In the BG is Porto with on the right the Ponte Dom Luis 1.
The barco rabelo is designed for the transport of the port barrels (pipas) from the upstream vineyards on the Douro to the porthouses in Vila Nova de Gaia. It has no keel and is flat-bottomed, with a length between 19 and 23 m with a width of 4,5 m. The construction is Nordic (as opposed to Mediterranean) with its overlapping planks and the fitting of the inner support structure (the ribs) after the hull is completed. The position of the ribs is carefully planned to support the barrels: “Obviously, it is necessary to first mark the location of the ribs. “Parear“ means the division into equal parts, made through the longitudinal axis and corresponds to the spacing of the ribs. The first row of the wine casks are based on them directly, which is very important at this phase. It depends on the proper stowage of cargo, the very capacity of the vessel. ……Actually the casks or barrels are placed longitudinally, cover or lid against cover, each must be based on two successive ribs, leaving each side to the area of a quarter of a cask or equal to half a ”casal” a “casal” is the corresponding space between the couple of ribs. This is the traditional system of large boats that could carry eighty barrels in four layers.” From Architecture of Rabelo, check it out here it’s a very interesting verbal and visual account by Carlos Romão of the construction of the last artisan rabelo in 1992.
In the artisan construction of the rabelo neither a shipyard, blue print nor molds came in to play. The master carpenter had it all in his head – his knowedge and skills based on the practical experience of many generations of craftsman before him.
Nowadays the boats have lost their original function, the port being transported by rail and road. The rabelos have a touristic and symbolic function now. They’re used by the porthouses to promote their brands. And are of course one of the typical icons of Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia. Every year on June 24 (São Jão day) the rabelos enter in a spectacular regatta.
Woohoo! I'm finally caught up. Due to the flickr maintenance (and a brief wifi problem in my household) I wasn't able to get all caught up with my 365 project until right now. The subject of today's photo is yet another delicious and beautiful baked good made by my mom.

PilotShortage_StoryTime_100FS_1LT
From 2000 the preferred chassis manufacturer for new and replacement vehicles for the First Aberdeen Ltd fleet was Volvo. This came about as a result of a decision to contract out maintenance to a Volvo franchise with First Aberdeen engineering staff transferring to that new contractor. Consequently, plans were made to replace Leyland Atlanteans, Mercedes Benz 0405, Scania and Dennis Dart types with brand new and young second hand buses Volvo buses from other First fleets.
Six new Volvo B7LA / Wright Eclipse Fusion artics and six new Volvo B7TL / Alexander ALX400 double deckers were overshadowed by what eventually amounted to a total of one hundred and seven Volvo B10BLE single deckers, of which thirty-nine were new and sixty-eight were between one and four years old. The second hand vehicles came from First Manchester (twenty-eight) and First Glasgow (forty). Wright Renown bodywork featured on all of the new single deckers and thirty-eight of the second hand acquisitions with just thirty of the forty buses from First Glasgow having Alexander ALX300 bodies. The influx of these new and second hand buses with the consequential disposal of Leyland Atlanteans, Mercedes Benz 0405, Scania and Dennis Darts to other FirstGroup companies spanned a period just short of eighteen months.
Fleet numbers –
2 – 7 Volvo B7LA artics, 132 – 137 Volvo B7TL double deckers, 601 – 639 new Volvo B10BLE, 640 – 677 / 801 – 830 second hand Volvo B10BLE, (Registration numbers and other details are given below the images of individual vehicles).
In 2002 six Volvo B6-41 / Alexander Dash bodied buses came from Essex Buses Ltd These were allocated fleet numbers 201 – 206.
