Its snappy new paint scheme disguising its more than 50 years in service, Metra Bike Car #7868 is seen on a Milwaukee District train. Note the Operation LifeSaver (OLS) logo next to the door.
This car is ex-Rock Island.
Another great selection of figs from OnlineSailin. Haven't decided if I want to splurge on the Nobu fig yet. Added black Mutt Williams hair and a CapeMadness coat to Punisher.
A Milwaukee/CUS District Operation Lifesaver Special turns the corner at Tower A5 with a run out to National Street in Elgin. 2 of Metra's latest repaints lead the train, the leader just in from paint and rebuild on the south side of Chicago at some of our home shops.
Skt. Ols
Like Bornholm's other medieval churches, Sankt Ols was built in the 12th century. It was named after the revered King Olaf II of Norway who fell at the Battle of Stiklestad in 1030. In 1378, it was documented as "Ecclesia sancti Olaui" (Church of St Olaf). The church first belonged to the Archbishopric of Lund, then came under the Danish crown at the time of the Reformation. In the 19th century, it became fully independent.
It is the highest of Bornholm's four round churches, rising 13 metres from its base to the top of the conical roof, the church is built of local granite fieldstone with limestone door frames. Standing on a hilltop at a height of 112 metres above sealevel, it was built as a stronghold to defend the surrounding area. The openings in the wall on the upper storey were designed for shooting or throwing stones at the enemy. There was also a platform with a parapet which was used for defensive purposes. The church was also equipped with a hanging gallery, supported on beams projecting from the walls of the round tower.

The Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry (Norwegian: Olsen Nauen Klokkestøperi) is a Norwegian bell foundry located in the municipality of Tønsberg. The foundry was established in 1844 by Ole Olsen, and it is headed today by the sixth generation of the Olsen Nauen family. The company is based at the Nauen farm in Sem and is Norway's only bell foundry.
The Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry produces glockenspiels, church bells, ship's bells, farm bells, and other products from bell metal, which is a specific alloy of copper and tin. The company has supplied bells to most Norwegian churches. Part of its production is exported, some to mission churches and also to other clients. Examples of carillons cast by Olsen Nauen include the ones in Oslo City Hall, Oslo Cathedral, Sem Town Hall in Tønsberg, and Trinity Church in Arendal. The company has also produced a 52-bell travelling carillon, which is the world's largest.
The Nauen farm also has a small museum with a display of old and new bells.

Offline... gone Sailin...
"And just like that.... he's gone." Wish I could have grabbed a bunch more, but I'm grateful for the sweet OLS figs I did collect.
Gone but not Forgotten. Thanks for the Memories.

Das Valle Gran Rey (Tal des großen Königs, gemeint ist das Guanchenoberhaupt Hupalupa) bildet eine Gemeinde der Kanareninsel La Gomera. Verwaltungssitz ist seit 1930 der Ort La Calera. Außerdem besteht die Gemeinde aus den drei Hauptorten Calera (am Hang), Vueltas (am Hafen) und La Playa. Außerhalb des Tales gehören zur Gemeinde unter anderem die Weiler Taguluche, Las Hayas und Arure, die Letzteren zwei dicht am Nationalpark Garajonay liegend.
Das Tal bietet dank seiner terrassierten Kulturlandschaft mit einer Fülle von Palmen, den ausgedehnten Bananenplantagen und vielen verstreut liegenden kleinen Häusern einen geradezu exotischen Anblick. Hier hat es in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren besonders viele Hippies hingezogen. Zwischenzeitlich wurde das Tal mit Aussteiger-Orten wie Goa oder Kathmandu gleichgesetzt.
Die Gemeinde Valle Gran Rey verfügt auf der Insel La Gomera über die mit Abstand höchste touristische Nutzung. Nachdem die Zufahrtsstraße zum Tal ausgebaut war, wird zurzeit der Hafen in Vueltas erweitert, so dass künftig auch große Fähr- und Handelsschiffe dort anlegen können. Diese Aktivitäten sind gepaart mit einer deutlichen Zunahme von Hotels und Appartement-Häusern von insgesamt immerhin 1.400 Betten in den letzten 15 Jahren (Stand 2005). Damit könnte aus dem bisherigen Individualtourismus nach und nach ein Massentourismus entstehen. Es existiert eine Schnellbootlinie (Fred. Olsen Express) zwischen Los Cristianos auf Teneriffa und Vueltas mit Zwischenstopps in San Sebastián de la Gomera und Playa Santiago im Süden von La Gomera. Für deutsche Einwohner und Touristen gibt es ein deutschsprachiges Magazin.
Hoch über dem Tal mit Blick auf die Anbauterrassen bis hin zum Meer hat der lanzarotenische Künstler César Manrique im Jahre 1989 den Aussichtspunkt Mirador del Palmerejeo erschaffen. Durch die großen Panoramascheiben des darin befindlichen Restaurants hat man ebenfalls eine gute Aussicht (s. Foto). Das Restaurant wurde von einer Berufsfachschule für Hotel und Gastronomie betrieben, jedoch aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen aufgegeben. Auf dem Mirador steht ein Manrique-typisches Windspiel.
