The Edge a modern building on the edge of the outer Harbour at Whitehaven overlooking Golden sands. This was before it was open.
Thank-you for viewing my artist impression of CPR Steam Engine No. 374
I especially like the conflict of eras in this image.
1886 vs. 2019
As pictured together, a historical steam engine against a modern day, big city background.
Past and present.
New meets old, old meets new.
CPR ENGINE 374 , holds very fond and unique childhood memories for me.
As a youngster, I lived blocks from the beach, where this old engine was displayed.
Every child in the area, myself included, played on this train regularly.
We climbed in, over and under the well loved, weathered ( at that time ) vintage structure.
It was a valued piece of history and such a great prop for developing the imaginations of young minds.
What could possibly be more fun, than pretending to be engineers on this historic old train, waving out the open window frames, stoking the steam engine, steering the train down the track, checking the wheels, and mimicking train and whistle sounds etc.
Examples of vintage steam engine sounds:

This grand ole lady recently celebrated her 130th Anniversary, and I was elated to spend this day with her, once again.
The volunteer staff from the West Coast Railway Association, used a heavy duty wench system to pull her outside into the great outdoors. It was a beautiful sight to see her outside the Roundhouse Museum, basking in the sunshine, as she once stood (in my mind's eye), so many years ago.
Engine No. 374 is the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) locomotive that pulled the first transcontinental passenger train to arrive in Vancouver, arriving on May 23, 1887.
This was a year after sister Engine No. 371 brought the first train to cross Canada into Port Moody, roughly 20 miles (32 km) to the east.
History: ( As per Wikipedia )
No. 374 was built by the CPR in 1886 and was one of eight similar steam locomotives built that year in their Montreal shops.
While No. 371 was scrapped in 1915, No. 374 was completely rebuilt in 1914 and continued in service until 1945. Because of its historical significance, it was donated to the City of Vancouver upon its retirement, who placed it on display in Kitsilano Beach Park. It suffered greatly from exposure to the elements and a lack of upkeep. It remained there until 1983, when a group of railway enthusiasts launched an effort to restore the engine in time for Expo 86. It was moved from the beach and spent the next few years in different warehouses around Vancouver while a crew of volunteers undertook the task of restoring the engine. Completed in time for Expo, No. 374 was put on display on the turntable at the renovated former CPR Drake Street Roundhouse where it became a prime attraction.
In 1988 the Expo 86 site, including the Drake Street Roundhouse, was sold to Concord Pacific, and in the course of the False Creek North Development Plan, the developer agreed to convert and expand the buildings to comprise the Roundhouse Community Centre. The Community Centre was designed by Baker McGarva Hart and completed in 1997. The plan for the development had made no mention of the 374 and it was temporarily housed inside the roundhouse itself while it was decided what to do with the engine.
Successful fundraising efforts were undertaken by the Vancouver Parks Board and the Lions Club, among others, and a year later the new Engine 374 Pavilion was completed.
Now a central feature of the Yaletown area redevelopment, the Engine 374 Pavilion is open daily for public viewing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the summer and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the winter. An anniversary celebration is held annually on the Sunday before Victoria Day. The pavilion is staffed entirely by volunteers from the West Coast Railway Association and on average sees roughly 41,000 visitors per year as of 2015.
A special thanks to you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I appreciate your visits & kind words of support.

La Défense a fascinating contrast between old and new.
La Défense um fascinante contraste entre o velho e o novo.
One of my photographies has been selected for inclusion in the newly released eighth edition of the Schmap La Defense – Paris guide.
This motife is already history... Not because of the rain and fog, but because this will be one of very few pictures where one can see both the new build culture house (with the three "wing dings") and the huge roof of the old industrial building. The one with the big roof is demolished during the last days and a huge part of the industrial history of Notodden is connected to that roof.
Montage showing Barbican Station platforms just after the station was renamed Aldersgate-Barbican and in 2022 called just Barbican. The glass roof survived WW2 unlike much of the surrounding area but was badly damaged and was taken down in 1955
It's likely to be a day here with not much warmth, because Mr.Sun has decided to take a low profile.
But then the regular duties can't apparently wait...so i am headed out.
Sending warmth of pink your way should you need some:)
A Parry's Agave puts up a showy red-budded flower stalk next to the dried flower remnants and seed pods of a now-dead adjoining sister plant. Although called "Century Plants," they don't normally wait that long to bloom once, drop their seeds and die.

I do not know what body to put for my Aomame, and I'm not sure which I like more.

This great sculpture of the cockerel is a great addition to Trafalgar Square and it brings a modern and contemporary twist to one of the most visited places in London. We also love the old style street lamp which presents contrast with the new sculpture. This photo shows the new and old features of London.

The original 110 film negative is a little blurry from camera shake, so I used Photoshop to make it as Flickr-worthy as possible.
In the background hovers the old and abandoned Sauter Hotel on the shoreline of Long Island Sound, a forgotten vestige of when this neighborhood was a summer vacation getaway for thousands of people between the 1880s and the mid 1950s.
The recently rebuilt Clayton elevated Metro railway station with a preserved relocated original station building from its past.
New Brighton on Merseyside, once a premier seaside resort with a massive history and a tower bigger than Blackpool`s.
much has changed, the investment came but the organ and the pier and ballrooms remain consigned to history, for me, they were the blueprint for the future of New Brighton.
They still could be?

St. Mary MacKillop Museum,
The St Mary MacKillop Museum celebrates the life and legacy of Australia’s first saint, canonised by the Catholic Church in 2010. The museum is housed in the historic building originally established by Mary MacKillop in 1891 as a gesture of gratitude to the Eden community for their kindness following the tragic loss of her mother, Flora MacKillop.
Flora drowned in 1886 when the Ly-ee-Moon shipwrecked off Green Cape Lighthouse, south of Eden, claiming most on board. Mary later sent Sisters of St Joseph to Eden, who opened St Joseph’s School in this very building. Restored and reopened as a museum in 2004, it now stands as a tribute to Mary’s faith, resilience, and deep connection to the town. Mary visited the school in 1899, and 1901, spending time testing the students and working.
