Hey everyone,
Montville, Qld, Australia.
Here's my 2nd favourite image from this year.
I haven't actually shared this one yet but I shot it back in May this year on a very cold evening with my mates from DK Photography.
Marcus from The Chapel was kind enough to let us shoot this place and even dimmed the lights on the inside and outside of the chapel for us to get the shots we wanted, A huge thanks to him for letting us shoot here.
I really hope you like this one, Cheers!
Lucky Number 5 (Sony a7 Mark II - Sony G 50mm F2.5)

I had to be 124, 125 when it happened. Ran into my first tracker. Not the best out there. But had fast wheels. And an infuriating lack of fear. I mean shit... any other time I'd respect that.
Anyways. Tried to take both me and the car.
But now I got a full trunk and a middle finger that says just one thing.
She'll always be my Lucky.
My Lucky 5.

GrudziÄ…dz is a town located in the northern Poland on the Vistula River, near the Osa River; it ia an urban county situated in Kujawsko - Pomorskie Voivodeship (Province).
The first reference to GrudziÄ…dz appears in the document from 1065 - the document sent by Boleslaus the Brave to the St. Benedictine Monastery in Mogilno. Castrum Grudomzch is mentioned as one of the towns from which the monastery received tithe payments.
The etymology of the town's name has been the source of arguments among researchers. Some of them point out that the name derives from the word "gród" (fortified settlement), others claim that the name originates from the word "gruda" (a hard clod of soil, existing in this area in abundance). There are also those, however, who due to the town's close proximity to the border with Prussia, consider the name "Grudziądz" to be of Prussian origin.
In 1231, the Teutonic Order took over the town with the surrounding settlement; at the same time, the Order made diplomatic efforts to eliminate the competition of the Prussian bishop in Chełmno Land and Prussia. The written history of Grudziądz dates back to 1222 and is strongly related to Christian - the missionary bishop of Prussia. In 1299, Meinhard from Kwerfurt, the Land Master of the Teutonic Order, granted the town a location privilege and new charter according to the Chełmno Law.
In 1415, thanks to Michał Kuchmeister, the Great Master of Teutonic Order, the first waterworks supplied by the mill waters could be conducted. However, due to the continuous problems with water supply, and thanks to the permission of King Sigmund August, Trynka Canal was dug in 1552. The Castle of the Teutonic Order was built north of the city in the second half of the 13th century.
Only in the 15th century was the contiunous development of the town possible. After the Order provided the town with a number of economic benefits, Grudziądz became a craft and trade centre. Having few ranaries, the town participated in the corn trade in the north-eastern part of Chełm Land.
The uprising which broke out on January 14, 1454 was soon suppressed on February 8. For over 300 years Grudziądz belonged to the Polish Duchy. In the new circumastances the town became a part of Chełm Voivodeship.
An intensive industrial development in the second half of the 19th century, the construction of the railway line and the bridge on the Vistula River promised well for the future of the town. First, Grudziądz-Jabłonowo (1876), and later Grudziądz - Laskowice (1879) and Grudziądz - Chełmża railway lines were established. In 1885, in the south-eastern suburbs of the town, Central Railway Station was built; around the railway junction the new district was created.

One of the oldest survivors of America's steam railroading era, this locomotive was built 29 years after the steam engine was first developed for transportation. Breese, Kneeland & Company of Jersey City, New Jersey also operated as the New York Locomotive Works and is represented by the No. 73 on the locomotive builders plate. The company used its standard style, based on a design patented by Henry Roe Campbell in 1836. Known as a 4-4-0 "Classic American" for its wheel configuration, this particular locomotive was manufactured in 1857 for the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company.
Believed to have been named "Spring Green", the locomotive served the upper midwestern United States for more than 30 years. By 1889, the Arizona & Southeastern Railroad Company, which later became the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad (EP&SW), had acquired it and converted it from a wood-burner to a coal-burner. The smokestack was also likely reconfigured from a funnel type to a straight type at that time. Calling it Locomotive No. One, EP&SW utilized it in the development of Bisbee, Arizona and in other mining and industrial operations in the southwest.
EP&SW retired Old Number One after more than 50 years of service, moving it to a park adjacent to company headquarters at 416 N. Stanton Street in 1909. Except for its brief role in the 1938 film "Let Freedom Ring", it remained there until 1960, even after the rail company became part of the Southern Pacific railroad system in 1924. In 1960, the railroad donated it to Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), which placed it at the Centennial Museum. In 2000, the City of El Paso received state and national funds to restore the engine to its 1909 appearance, moving it to the present site at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal.

In 1904, Blessed André Bessette, CSC, began the construction of a small chapel on the side of the mountain near Notre Dame College. Soon the growing number of visitors made it too small. Even though it was enlarged, a larger church was needed and in 1917 one was completed - it is called the Crypt, and has a seating capacity of 1,000. In 1924, the construction of the basilica was inaugurated; it was finally completed in 1967. The Oratory's dome is the third-largest of its kind in the world after the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro in the Ivory Coast and Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, and the church is the largest in Canada.
The basilica is dedicated to Saint Joseph, to whom Brother André credited all his reported miracles. These were mostly related to some kind of healing power, and many pilgrims (handicapped, blind, ill, etc.) poured into his Basilica, including numerous Protestants. On display in the basilica is a wall covered with thousands of crutches from those who came to the basilica and were healed. Pope John Paul II deemed the miracles to be authentic and beatified Brother André in 1982.
A reliquary in the church museum contains Brother André's heart, which he requested as a protection for the basilica. More than 2 million visitors and pilgrims visit the Oratory every year. It is located at 3800 Queen Mary Road, at Côte-des-Neiges (near to Côte-des-Neiges metro station).
[edit] Modern developments
On October 19, 2004, the Oratory held its centennial. All the bells of all the churches on the island of Montreal were supposed to ring at 9:00 a.m., though not all churches participated. At 9:05 a.m., the basilica rang its bell in response and celebration.
In 2005, the Oratory was added to the List of National Historic Sites of Canada on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.[1]
I`ll be in and out of local shots and Northumberland for a while now.
This was taken early the Sunday before last, We wanted to get a dog walk in before it got hot once again and so glad we did too, I shot a number of images as the sky was amazing with nice cool spots of rain which did not come to anything.
We have a nice wild flower meadow near us which made a nice foreground to that amazing sky, shoot for the highlights . Always have your camera with you as you never know when a shot will present itself.

Just as well my street address is '21'!
It is a house number on a oval ceramic 'plate' made by David Sharp Pottery in Rye, Sussex, UK. My late mother bought it on one of her two trips to the UK.
Explored as part of the Flickr 21st birthday on 09/02/2025.
