An early build M5000 Bombardier Flexity Swift tram 3003 passes over the level crossing at Navigation Road, catching the evening sunshine at 19.57 working a short service from Altrincham to Old Trafford.
Navigation Road has two bidirectional single track lines running through it, Metrolink on the right and Network Rail to the left.

An inuksuk is a human-made stone landmark or cairn used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. These structures are found from Alaska to Greenland. This region, above the Arctic Circle, is dominated by the tundra biome and has areas with few natural landmarks.
The inuksuk may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds, places of veneration, drift fences used in hunting or to mark a food cache.
The Inupiat in northern Alaska used inuksuit to assist in the herding of caribou into contained areas for slaughter.
Varying in shape and size, the inuksuit have ancient roots in Inuit culture.
Historically, the most common type of inuksuk is a single stone positioned in an upright manner. There is some debate as to whether the appearance of human- or cross-shaped cairns developed in the Inuit culture before the arrival of European missionaries and explorers. The size of some inuksuit suggest that the construction was often a communal effort.

This is the famous cathedral of Köln along with the replica of Hohenzollern Bridge. The original bridge was destroyed at the time of World War II and rebuilt later.
The cathedral suffered seventy hits by aerial bombs during World War II. It did not collapse, but stood tall in an otherwise flattened city. The great twin spires are said to have been used as an easily recognizable navigational landmark by Allied aircraft raiding deeper into Germany in the later years of the war, which may be a reason that the cathedral was not destroyed.
The cathedral is fantastic from inside as well. But photography with a tripod is not allowed. I was staying very close to this place, so I went there early morning (06:30 AM) to get an inside view of this world heritage architecture. But it did not work out well for me. Three people asked me not to use the tripod while I did not even take it out of my camera bag. So I enjoyed the beauty myself and came back without a picture.
After a long time I used my heavy 70 200 lens. I took the same picture with the 24 105 as well. The pictures were taken in 76 MM, so I have managed to take more or less the same picture with both the lenses. On the spot I did not really see any differences in the picture. But while checking the same in my computer screen, I could justify the price of 70 200. The cost is really of the quality. The pricture of 70 200 is way too crispy than the 24 105. Well this is a well known fact, but I have compared it myself for the first time. Few days back I have borrowed the old 28 70 F2.8 lens from nestle photo club and it is also a fantastic lens. The picture quality in 100% crop is way better than 24 105. But once the pictures are correctly taken and processed properly, you will probably never understand the difference. The difference is visible only in 100% crop. That means, if you print the picture in A0 without sharpening the picture in post processing, you will find the difference. Otherwise at least I cannot see any differences.
So I will keep using the 24 105 over my 70 200 most of the cases because of the weight and size factor. The extra bit of sharpness and contrast will come from photoshop :)
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.

Eric Harness (appears in silhouette) lit the rocks with his flashlight. Of course the moon provided most of the oomph. This is one of the locations we recently visited in a StarCircleAcademy event.

A transparency taken by my wife, Val, showing me how to perfectly time a fast moving loco-hauled train crossing the Weaver Navigation railway bridge at Frodsham Junction at sunset on 14th July 2000. Transrail 37412 is heading the 1954 Llandudno to Manchester Piccadilly. I failed miserably with this one on my Mamiya, but Val was successful using her Pentax ME Super 35mm camera.
