De Plantage toont zich op z'n mooist in de herfst van 2015. Tijdens een geplande omleiding staan de 820 (lijn 16) en 819 (24) naast elkaar op het "Calamiteiten" eindpunt Plantage Parklaan. Lijn16 is niet meer, lijn 24 nog even ingekort tot Frederiksplein en de 12G Trapkarren zijn allen terzijde gesteld...

Während der Großteil der E-Loks schon ziemlich modern ist, halten sich bei den Diesellokomotiven die alten Modelle noch sehr hartnäckig. Das soll aber nicht heißen, dass es keine neueren Modelle mehr gibt. So brachte Vossloh 2010 die DE 18 auf dem Markt.

Sneltramlijn 51 vanuit Amstelveen duikt op uit het nu gesloopte tunneltje bij station Amsterdam Zuid. Dit is het punt waarop van 1990 tot 2008 de sporen van lijn 51 en 5 uiteengingen, respectievelijk samenkwamen.
De derde rail begon al in het tunneltje; daar werden ook al de bijbehorende stroomafnemers en de treeplanken uitgeklapt. Het omschakelen naar 750 V metrospanning en het strijken van de pantografen gebeurde pas even later, op de halte
A historic picture of the light rail line between Amstelveen and Amsterdam, at the point where route 51 switched from tramway to metro operation. The conversion included the type of current collection (from overhead to third rail), voltage (from 600 V to 750 V) and adaptation to the larger distance between the floor and the platform edge on the metro network (by putting out the folding steps).
The Amstelveen line was also used by the regular trams of route 5. The junction of both lines at Amsterdam Zuid station is seen here. It existed from the start of the line in 1990 until 2008, when route 5 was banned from the station area to make room for the new North-South-metro line (route 52, opened 2018). Route 51 kept using this tunnel until 2019, when the Amstelveen line was cut off from the metro network and converted to full low-floor tramway operation

Alleyway Theatre, Curtain Up Alley at Main Street, Buffalo, New York state.
Partial quote from the theatre's web site:
"Alleyway Theatre is located in Buffalo, New York’s Theatre Historic District. Constructed in 1941 by Central Greyhound Lines, the building served for decades as the city’s primary bus depot. It is one of the many terminals designed by nationally prominent architect William S. Arrasmith of Louisville who created over one hundred stations for Greyhound in the late thirties and early forties.
The Alleyway Building is one of Buffalo’s most prominent examples of the Art Moderne style. The streamlined two story structure boasts the important features which defined the work of W. S. Arrasmith including round windows, curved wall surfaces, stainless steel and aluminum alloy trimmings, terrazzo floors, limestone façade, and exterior surfaces of glazed tile. This building is one of only a handful of Mr. Arrasmith’s creations which is still standing."

Over the Canadian Thanksgiving/ Columbus Day (in the U.S.) long weekend, I met up with Eridony (Brandon) in Buffalo, New York. It was the third time that Brandon and I met up.
Buffalo is a city in western New York state on the eastern shore of Lake Erie, it's located about 17 miles (27 kms) south of Niagara Falls. During the 19th century and up to the 1950s, Buffalo was a boom town and a major industrial and transportation hub due to its location along the Erie Canal, railroads and Lake Erie. Between the 1860s and 1910s, Buffalo actually ranked as the top 10 largest cities in the U.S. (Thanks for that info, Brandon!) During that period, Buffalo built many impressive public and private buildings, many of which have survived till today.
Buffalo had suffered decades of economic and population decline, but in the past ten years, appears to be recovering very slowly.

Bamberg, Untere Brücke, Bronzeskulptur "Centurione I" von Igor Mitoraj
Auf der unteren Brücke, die zum Alten Rathaus auf einer Insel in der Regnitz führt, steht die Bronzeskulptur "Centurione I" von Igor Miroraj. Bamberg, der Sitz des Grafengeschlechts der Babenberger, wurde unter Kaiser Heinrich II. (973 - 1024) Bischofsstadt und erhielt mit dem Dom sein architektonisches und geistiges Zentrum. Die im letzten Weltkrieg verschonte Altstadt besitzt den größten unversehrt erhaltenen historischen Stadtkern Deutschlands und gehört seit 1993 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
Igor Mitoraj wurde 1944 in Polen geboren und studierte Kunst in Krakau und Paris. Nach einem Aufenthalt in Südamerika, dessen Kultur und Kunst ihn faszinierte, widmete er sich ausschliesslich der Skulptur und arbeite in Terrakotta und Bronze. Marmor wurde zu seinem Hauptmedium nach einer Reise nach Carrara, in dessen Nähe er 1983 sein Studio in Pietrasanta einrichtete. Seine Skulpturen haben ihre Wurzeln im klassischen Altertum, zeigen jedoch auch postmodernen Einflüsse.
