1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible
The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the grille. It was named Impala after the graceful African antelope, and this animal became the car's logo.
The Impala became a separate series, adding a four-door hardtop and four-door sedan, to the two-door Sport Coupe and convertible. Sport Coupes featured a shortened roof line and wrap-over back window. The standard engine was an I6, while the base V8 was the carryover 283 cu in (4.6 L), at 185 hp. Optional were a 283 cu in with 290 hp (220 kW) and 348 cu in (5.7 L) V8 up to 335 hp (250 kW). Standard were front and rear armrests, an electric clock, dual sliding sun visors, and crank-operated front vent windows. A contoured hooded instrument panel held deep-set gauges. A six-way power seat was a new option, as was "Speedminder", for the driver to set a needle at a specific speed and a buzzer would sound if the preset were exceeded.
The 1960 Impala models reinstated three round taillights on each side, and a white band running along the rear fenders.
The available V8s were reduced to seven, in 283-cu in or 348-cu in displacements. The carbureted Turbo-Fire 283 cu in V8 could have either 170 or 230 hp. The 348 cu in was available in 250 to 320 hp with a 350 hp Special Super Turbo-Thrust with triple two-barrel carburetors, 11.25:1 compression ratio, and dual exhausts. Fuel injection was no longer an option on full-size Chevrolets. New to the options list was speed and cruise control. Production was 490,000 units.
So Flickr charges more money, yet today every fourth picture I visit I cannot comment. And beyond that ideal. One of us fine devoted flickr member passes and when renewal comes around, all their work except 1,000 images is gone. I would like to think some of us live onward.
I do not know why fences attract me so. They stand for so many ideals compared to life. I think the one thing that stands out is that it means "this is mine, stay out"
Go get your own in other words.
Happy Fence Friday
The Wroclaw Market Square covers almost 3.8 hectare and is included among the largest old market sites in Poland and It is one of the largest markets in Europe,
The buildings around the square are built according to different styles: the middle part (German: Tritt) of the ring is occupied by a block of buildings consisting of the Old Town Hall, the New City Hall as well as numerous citizens' houses.
In the picture, the western part of the market, from the right side
Market 6, House Under the Golden Sun
Market 7, House Under the Blue Sun due to ownership issues long disrepair, and only at the end of the 90s. has been restored
Market 8, House Under the Seven Electors draws attention because of the rich decoration painting illusionist, reconstructed in the early 90's.
Absolutely gorgeous, heritage style, dream home ( new or old I am not really sure, but the look is timeless ).
Pride of ownership radiates from this well cared for home.
Landscaping is truly wonderful. 10 ft high sunflowers, manicured box hedges, emerald cedars, green lawn, potted flowers, and even lit up wreaths accent the front porch.
Stonework, pillars, cozy enclosed porch with ceiling fans, upper deck and look at that orange front door.
So much for the eye to appreciate.
Set under the glow of the setting sun.

AUSTRIA... one of the most beautiful countries - Lake Gosau
C'est formidable de pouvoir montrer ma belle patrie...
---
The Lake Gosau is a small mountain lake, embedded in beautiful nature with a view of the Dachstein!
This small mountain lake, which has a preservation order, has been made famous not only because of its outstanding natural beauty, but also because of its clear, cold water which is suitable as drinking water.
Because of its purity, the water provides perfect living/breeding conditions for numerous species of fish.
Nestling amongst the highest mountains of the Salzkammergut, the lake is one of the most photographed sights in the region. The world traveller and naturalist Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt was overwhelmed by the beauty of thelake and its crowning glory - the "mighty towers of the Dachstein", and described it in his works as "the eye of God".
I have a bit of a crush on this hauntingly beautiful unfinished Elizabethan mansion in Northamptonshire. Its history is also fascinating, particularly with its links to the "Gunpowder Plot" on the Houses of Parliament.
Construction was made on behalf of Thomas Tresham around 1604 but left unfinished after his death following a long persecution because of his Catholic faith. On his death construction and responsibility for his estate passed to his son Francis, but within months of his fathers death he was arrested for his part in Guy Fawkes plot and he was executed.
The building was never completed but its design is fascinating. Built in the form of a symmetrical Greek Cross it is full of religious symbolism. The site is preserved now and in the ownership of the National Trust.
A piece of countryside in Hertfordshire. Overall, the public in the UK is excluded from 92% of the land. This staggering number represents private land where the public does not even have a "right to roam". Historically, we would find the roots of this misery in 1066 (Norman conquest) but, on the other hand, history tells us something else: ever since there never was a successful redistribution of land ownership. The return of the land to the people is not part of the programme of any of the political parties active in the UK parliament. Fuji X-Pro3.
In ownership since 1999, and recently revived. Technically it is sound now, the exterior needs some work. But isn't that how a Ritmo should be?
Geschichte:
Die abgestellte Nummer 18 478 war die letzte S 3/6 aus der Staatsbahnzeit (1918) und damit auch die letzte mit einem stromlinienförmigen Führerhaus (Windschneidenführerhaus).
Heute befindet sich die Lokomotive im Besitz des Bayerischen Eisenbahnmuseums in Nördlingen. Die Lokomotive wurde vom Dampflokwerk Meiningen wieder betriebsfähig gemacht.
Für den künftigen Einsatz waren erhebliche Arbeiten an der alten Lokomotive, die noch ihren Originalkessel hat, notwendig. Die Lok wurde im Juni 2010 ein zweites Mal in Betrieb genommen und ist wieder für Personenzüge zugelassen. Wikipedia
18 478
History:
Number 18 478, was the last S 3/6 to be built in the state railway era (1918) and thus the last one also with a streamlined driver's cab aka Windschneidenführerhaus.
Today this engine is in the ownership of the Bavarian Railway Museum (Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum) in Nördlingen. The locomotive was made operational again by the Meiningen Steam Locomotive Works (Dampflokwerk Meiningen)
In order to be used on future services, considerable work was necessary on the old locomotive, which still has its original boiler. The engine had a second roll out in June 2010 and is again certified for passenger trains. Wikipedia

The St. Marks Light is the second-oldest light station in Florida. It is located on the east side of the mouth of the St. Marks River, on Apalachee Bay.
In the 1820s, the town of St. Marks, Florida was considered an important port of entry. The town served as a port for the prosperous planting region of Middle Florida and some counties of South Georgia. Growers hauled their agricultural products down to the port town in wagons by way of an early road which connected the then territorial capital of Tallahassee to the town of St. Marks. Later, this road would be widened and improved upon by the Tallahassee Railroad Company and would become the state's first railroad.
Once the agricultural products reached the new port town, they were loaded aboard boats for shipment to New Orleans and/or St. Augustine. There were, however, problems in navigating both the Apalachee Bay and the St. Marks River. In many places both bay and river were shallow, and it was not too uncommon for boats to run aground and/or get mired in the muddy shallows
After a survey was completed of the St. Marks area by Robert Mitchell, the Collector of Customs at Pensacola, and a site chosen for the lighthouse, it was discovered that the initial construction sum of $6,000 would be insufficient. The appropriation was increased to $14,000, and by mid-1829 a contract was signed with Winslow Lewis of Boston for the construction of a tower in the St. Marks area for $11,765. The finished product was not accepted by the Collector of Customs for St. Marks, Mr. Jesse H. Williams, because it had been constructed with hollow walls. Williams felt that the tower should be constructed with solid walls and, therefore, refused to accept the work.
Calvin Knowlton was brought in to rebuild the tower. He oversaw its completion, and in 1831, Williams, satisfied that the light was built according to the contract, accepted the work. That same year saw the tower's whale-oil lamps lit for the first time by Samuel Crosby, who had been appointed the first Keeper of the St. Marks Lighthouse the previous year.
The lighthouse was automated by the United States Coast Guard in 1960, and in 2000 the Coast Guard spent $150,000 in 2000 to stabilize the lighthouse. In 2000 or 2001 the lighthouse's fourth-order Fresnel lens was deactivated and a modern solar-powered beacon was placed outside the lantern room. The historic Fresnel lens remained in place in the tower for over a decade. In July 2005, Hurricane Dennis broke a window of the lantern, flooding the inside of the tower.
In October 2013 the Coast Guard deactivated transferred ownership of the lighthouse to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which operates the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The lighthouse was deactivated in 2016 and the Coast Guard's solar beacon was removed. Financial grants from the Florida Department of State and Duke Energy in 2016, plus crowdfunded donations, were put towards repairs and restoration. On October 31, 2019, a replica of the original fourth-order Fresnel lens was lit in the tower. The light is now maintained as a private aid to navigation and is lit seasonally.

Colorado Pacific (CXR) is under familiar ownership but there's a wholly different feel to this operation stretching across the south-eastern third of Colorado, with few trees and only some tall hills to climb. Seen halfway between Sugar City and Arlington, I'll call this back-assward train the "Monday Eastbound" because I have no idea exactly where it originated on CXR (I'm guessing Ordway based on where this unit was parked later in the week). Having talked with a company guy working on grade crossing signals at Sheridan Lake, it sounds like it was basically headed all the way to Towner. Naturally, they couldn't pick the east-facing CXR 620 parked at Eads for this.
At a completely separate location from the Mazdas in the next photo, although I suspect there is or was a connection in terms of ownership. Scott 'srblythe' has posted close-ups of these cars before, but I think the 626 4x4 is a new addition since I last looked.
This is an extremely late one, being on an E plate, although on the very first day. I love Capris, such an unusual sighting now though to see one original like this. I love how well kept it was, and the period decals, and those spotlights on the front.
It's only recently had a change of ownership, but clearly the current owner is an enthusiast judging by how he or she is keeping it.
The last Capri was made in December 1986, so this one must've sat around for a while before being sold. I imagine the original owner got a hefty discount. Nice original plates for Martins Ford of Kidderminster, over 200 miles from where I spotted it, so not very local.
One year ago, BLE #905 leads the 'Misc job' through the H-2 signal bridge at SX North amidst newly fallen snow. Once a bustling corridor for US Steel, the Bessemer & Lake Erie is now a subsidiary of CN, and hosts just a single pair of daily iron ore trains to/from the Union RR and the shores of Lake Erie. The Misc job will supplement the ore trains several times per week, serving local customers in Greenville, Butler, Harmar, Grove City, and occasionally Girard.
The Misc job is the last place one can hope to see legacy 'Orange' power on the former BLE. Today the 905 is paired up with BLE 862 wearing DMIR 'Maroon'. The 862 is a former BLE SD38, traded to the DMIR during US Steel Ownership, and then brought back to Pennsylvania under CN

Mille Miglia, 15. Mai 2009, SR 258 Via Alpe,
Viamaggio near Sansepolcro, Toscana, IT.
Ich fotografierte an einer tollen, bereits am Vortag ausgesuchten Stelle am Ende einer langen Bergab-Geraden, direkt vor einer scharfen Haarnadelkurve. Plötztlich, wie ein Blitz aus heiterem Himmel, war besonders lauter Motorenlärm zu hören. Gleichzeitig kamen DC im Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (mehr als 10 Millionen EUR Versicherungswert!), Stirling Moss' Original-Siegerauto, und knapp dahinter Mika Häkkinen mit dem brandneuem, am Vortag erstmals in Brescia präsentierten Mercedes McLaren SLR Edition Stirling Moss mit hohem Renntempo auf der Geraden daher gerast. Das Foto zeigt den konzentrierten DC beim starken Abbremsen vor der Haarnadelkurve. Ich drückte reflexartig den Auslöser und schon waren die beiden ultra raren Super-Autos auch schon wieder hinter der anschließenden Kurve in Richtung Sansepolcro verschwunden. Der ganze Spuck dauerte nur wenige Sekunden. Mir erschien es wie ein Angriff zweier tieffliegender Kampfjets... Ein wirklich beeindruckendes und unvergessliches Erlebnis.

The Castillo de San Marcos is located in the nation's oldest city. Though the fort had changed ownership several times, it had never been defeated.
Care to ponder on the different flags?
The most recent are shown to the front.
The first flag to be flown was the Hapsburg and Bourban Spain flag. Somewhat hidden in this view.
The second flag is more recognizable.

This is one of my favourite locations and the subject for my project 'Duffus Castle through the seasons'
See more here: www.flickr.com/photos/hopemanfoto/albums/72157712146815576
Duffus Castle was a motte-and-bailey castle in use from c.1140 to 1705. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland.
At the beginning of the 12th century Moray was ruled by Angus, grandson of Lulach Macgillecomgan, who had succeeded Macbeth as King of Scots in 1057. Angus rebelled in 1130 and King David I began to populate the province with nobles. Among them was Freskin, of Flemish background, who built the great earthwork and timber motte-and-bailey castle in c. 1140.
Freskin’s direct line ended in 1270 and the castle passed into the ownership of Sir Reginald le Chen. With his death in 1345, Duffus passed to his daughter Mariot who was married to Nicholas, son of the 4th Earl of Sutherland. The Sutherlands were also descended from Freskyn and remained in their possession until 1705 when the castle was abandoned.

The Muskegon Pier Light or South Pierhead Light is a lighthouse located in the harbor of Muskegon, Michigan.
The site is accessible, and the lighthouse is available for tours during the summer months from noon until 4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
The first lighthouse in Muskegon was a wooden tower atop the Keeper’s Quarters built in 1851. It was situated on land. In 1871 Muskegon Breakwater Light was built on the end of the breakwater and the main light was rebuilt. Muskegon Pier Light was built in 1903, replacing the main light.
In 2008 the lighthouse became available for transfer under NHLPA, and in June 2010 ownership was transferred to the Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy.
UP GP40-2 1469 and GP60 1162 spot a set of boxcars at City Fibers just outside of downtown Los Angeles in Vernon, California. With the lead unit appearing to be undergoing a sort of ownership dispute with the emblem having been crossed out, the crew moves out of the trash littered spur and through what has become a large homeless encampment back toward J yard. A homeless lady took advantage of the move, hopping on the lead unit to move a block down the spur to what is presumably her home. The tanks came along for the ride from another customer. Vernon, CA

Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern's or St Mungo's Cathedral, is the oldest cathedral on mainland Scotland and is the oldest building in Glasgow. Since the Reformation the cathedral continues in public ownership, within the responsibility of Historic Environment Scotland. The congregation is part of the established Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow and its services and associations are open to all. The cathedral and its kirkyard are at the top of High Street, at Cathedral Street. Immediately neighbouring it are Glasgow Royal Infirmary, opened in 1794, and the elevated Glasgow Necropolis, opened in 1833. Nearby are the Provand's Lordship, Glasgow`s oldest house and its herbal medical gardens, the Barony Hall (Barony Church), University of Strathclyde, Cathedral Square, Glasgow Evangelical Church (North Barony Church), and St Mungo Museum.
The present Woolley Hall is an example of early Jacobean architecture and was built 1635 and was renovated around 1800 by architect Sir Jeffrey Wyatville, who was employed by George IV to remodel Windor Castle, which earned him a knighthood. Wyattville specialised in period restorations and additions to historic mansions which included, amongst many others Chatsworth House and Longleat House.
Woolley Hall was eventually sold by the Wentworth family in 1947 and acquired by the local authority. In 1952 it began a new life as a residential college and today this 17th Century house and surrounding 20 acres of grounds is under the ownership of Wakefield Council.
A very dark sky stands out in stark contrast to the clean paint on WC 3004 as it arrives in Trout Lake with the Tilden empties November 2001.This was only about a month into CN ownership and operations remained largely unchanged except for the rapid disappearance of a good portion of the WC's vintage 4 axle power/SDL39's/and cowls from Upper Michigan.
Given their common state ownership, it's surprising that London Transport didn't buy Bristol/ECW products in any significant quantity before turning the LH to fill a need for a small capacity single-decker. This fictional image shows what a Series I VR would have looked like as London Transport VR1. The low-height, dual-door door ECW body is to the standard provincial design, the only concession to London Transport operation being the fitting of that operator's standard destination display. By comparison with the more familiar Tilling Group livery, the narrow white band provides a better balance between the lower and upper decks areas (13-Oct-09).

Hard to believe that one this ragged looking is still on the road, despite appearances suggesting it was last washed sometime in the 90s. I imagine this one has been in the same ownership for some time to avoid being bought and restored by someone else, as these are quite rare cars now I believe....
