Metrolink tram 3037 on an Altrincham to Etihad Campus service passes 66181 0n a Dowlow to Theale limestone train.
Metrolink Altrincham train to left, Cheshire Lines Chester train to right. Both trains headed in the same direction.
Keeping an eye on the route to make sure the bus driver knows the way and we're on the right track. That first-time-in-a-new-city feeling.
Out and about on a short lunchtime walk, the purpose of which was to run a test roll through my 1952 Kodak Retina IIa camera.
I'm very pleased with it; the Schneider-Kreuznach lens is super sharp. The shutter is light and the rangefinder is accurate.

Iserlohn ASW Cruiser Microscale
Please watch this and many other fantastic creations here: www.flickr.com/photos/einon/
The Imperial LEGO Iserlohn Cruiser is optimised for the Anti-submarine (ASW) mission, with powerful Anti-ship and Anti-aircraft missile systems.
For anti-ship missions, the ship carries four quadruple launchers for the large and supersonic D.D.N. missile behind the Leviathan Mk-3 launchers.
Flanking the ships funnel there are two quadruple 130mm gun turrets, a very powerful anti-ship and anti-aircraft armament.
Vertical Launch Systems (VLS) are fitted forward and aft for long-range Anti-Aircraft missiles like the SLAAD 1 or the Mega-STAD missiles. Amidships, two VLS fire the “Viper” AA missile, similar to the American RAM. The VLS can also launch the lighter D.D.B. anti-ship missile (similar to the Exocet missile, but supersonic) or the Leviathan Mk 1 (warhead: one short-range 460mm torpedo) and Mk 2 (warhead: one 800mm torpedo) anti-submarine missiles. Cruise missiles, like the ENA-200 “Machado” (with a 2000kg warhead) can also be operated.
Four anti-submarine helicopters are accommodated in hangars but the Iserlohn main combat system is the Leviathan Mk-3 anti-submarine missile, whose quadruple canister launchers flank the bridge structure. The large and impressive 2000km cruise missile may be configured either to release 4 Anti-submarine torpedos over a submerged target or fitted with a large warhead to counter surface targets, with mid-course correction. Two, very large SNG-50 radars are used to guide the missiles to the target. The launchers can also operate the D.D.N. anti-ship missile (4 D.D.N.s for each Leviathan), the low afterdeck being occupied largely by an enclosed VDS, which is roofed over to full hull width by the helipad. The VDS is complemented by a large low frequency sonar at the forefoot. Short-range anti-submarine weapons comprise four rocket launchers and two quadruple banks of heavyweight 800mm torpedo tubes (reportedly able to launch a new Anti-submarine missile). Finally, these very capable ships can carry up to 40 mines.
The ship also carries six Walston Gun/missile CIWS (each with 2 90mm Gatling guns and two launchers for 30 Viper Air-to-air missiles) and four 90mm automatic short-range guns.
Four shafts are driven directly by reversible electric motors; power for them is generated by four MX-1000 gas turbines associated to two hydrogen reactors or, for ultra-quiet navigation, four vibration-isolated electric alternators.
Once again these handsome, purposeful-looking ships, with their multitude of sensors and systems created a major impression among the enemies of the LEGO Empire.
Fifty ships were completed and will be completely remodelled in the future into a new, Stealth Guided missile cruiser.

I suppose having all the continents and oceans labled like this would make it easier for Alien navigation; something like a "Universal" GPS for intergalactic travelers. UPS!
Oh wait... that acronym is already taken.

We were quite excited to see which engine would be allocated for our run to Bournemouth. We had saved up all our pennies to afford tickets on the Bournemouth Belle and Nine Elms shed did us proud by producing a very clean Merchant Navy 4-6-2, No 35011 "General Steam Navigation."

Navigation Road signal box located by the Down Main line alongside Navigation Road level crossing in Altrincham. Saturday 28th January 1989
Navigation Crossing signal box opened in 1882 replacing an earlier signal box located on the opposite side of Navigation Road level crossing, and was a Saxby & Farmer type 9 design fitted with a 20 lever Saxby & Farmer frame built by signalling the contractors Saxby & Farmer for the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway. It was renamed Navigation Road in the early 1930s, possibly in conjunction with the opening of Navigation Road railway station 20th July 1931. A replacement 20 lever Railway Executive Committee frame was installed in June 1947 by the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company. The signal box closed on 6th July 1991, control of Navigation Road level crossing passing to Deansgate Junction signal box by means of closed circuit television although the equipment was not commissioned until 22nd July 1991
The signal box carries a British Rail corporate identity printed design nameplate, and note that at some time the lower set of windows and the wooden boarding either side of the signal box door has been replaced by brickwork

Idole cycladique de la collection Paul et Alexandra Canellopoulos
Musée de Canellopoulos, Athènes
Le Musée de Kanellopoulos, inauguré en 1976, retrace l'évolution de l'art grec à travers une collection variée de pièces d'art archéologique appartenant à différentes périodes.
www.athenes.fr/musee-kanellopoulos
pacf.gr/en/collection/themuseum/
La collection, rassemblée par Paul et Alexandra Kanellopoulos, constitue l'une des collections d'antiquités privées les plus importantes de Grèce.
C'est dans les Cyclades que l'art primitif issu du néolithique a connu l'évolution la plus caractéristique. Ces objets caractéristiques de la civilisation précoce des Cyclades datent des années 3200 à 2O00 avant J.C.

Les figurines miniatures en marbre aux épaules larges et aux hanches étroites représentent en général des femmes nues que les archéologues supposent être des symboles de Fertilité ou des amulettes funéraires.

Early Cycladic period (3200 – 2000 BC)
This period was mainly characterized by the development of metallurgy, maritime navigation and communication. A multitude and wide range of bronze tools and weapons, swift-moving ships impelled by oars depicted on clay (frying pans) or metal (lead boat models) attest to the heyday of this early period of the Cyclades which played a pivotal role in the trade of materials and goods as well as the exchange of ideas, being in the centre of maritime communication routes. Metals, obsidian and marble, unique raw materials found on the Cyclades, were spread throughout the Aegean Sea. The marble vases and figurines, the kraters -known as “”kandiles”” (votive lamps)- and the violin-shaped figurines became initially synonymous with the Cycladic culture. Later, the kylikes and the “”palettes””, but chiefly the figurines with folded arms, with their widespread dispersal, turned into the symbol of the Cycladic achievement, whereas simultaneously, the creation of statues, namely life-size figures, and certain three-dimensional figurines (e.g. musicians) manifests the progress and innovation of the Cycladic art.

I recently met my old friend, John, for a stroll around Nottingham city centre, and a couple of beers. As usual, he took me to a couple of pubs that I had not been in before. This is The Navigation Inn, sitting beside Castle Lock, on the Nottingham Canal, just a short stroll from the city centre. Brilliant. Loved it. I will be back!
Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park pamphlet reads:
“ When Ponce de Leon led the first Spanish expedition in 1513 to the land he called Florida, he visited this area and named it the “Cape of Florida”. It was an area of ferocious storms and uncharted waters. Hidden sandbars and submerged reefs were a hazard to early sailors, causing hundreds of shipwrecks along the Straits of Florida. For this reason, one of the federal government’s first actions when Florida became a U.S. Territory in 1821, was to plan for the extension of a network of lighthouses along the east coast of Florida.
In 1825, the Cape Florida Lighthouse was built to serve as an important link in this network of navigational aids. The lighthouse is the oldest building in south Florida. With the outbreak of the Second Seminole War in 1835, bloody encounters between the Seminole Indians and settlers to the area spread throughout the peninsula.
By July of 1836, the threat of attack had caused the settlers to flee the mainland and take up temporary residence on one of the better-protected keys to the south. Late in the afternoon of July 23, 1836, the Cape Florida Lighthouse was attacked and severely damaged by fire. The Assistant Lighthouse Keeper miraculously survived and was rescued by the crew of a Navy schooner. His helper, however, was killed. The lighthouse remained out of service for the balance of the Second Seminole War which ended in 1842. By 1846, Congress had appropriated $23,000 for reconstruction of the lighthouse. On April 30, 1847, Cape Florida Lighthouse was “re-lit” for the first time. In 1855, the height of the structure was increased from 65 to 95 feet and a 2nd Order Fresnel lens was installed.In 1861, Confederate sympathizers removed the lamps and burners and smashed the crucial center prism so it could not be used as an aid to Union sailor who controlled the surrounding waters. The lighthouse was repaired and re-lit again in 1866."

Portland Island Navigation Light, Portland Island, Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, B.C., Canada. Portland Island is a Provincial Marine Park close to Sidney, B.C. It’s a gorgeous island that you must boat to. We kayaked there for five days. This was a bit after sunrise and the entire island was behind me as I shot down to the light and the water. You can see the shadow of the trees on the island in the water.
