With an estimated 120.5 guns for every 100 residents, the firearm ownership rate in the United States is twice that of the next-highest nation, Yemen, with just 52.8 guns per 100 residents.

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.
Rousham is completely unspoilt and uncommercialised – no tea room and no shop – just glorious gardens to explore. One of England’s most important gardens, Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains almost as its designer William Kent left it. Many of the features that delighted its 18th century visitors are still there for 21st century visitors to enjoy.
Rousham House in Oxfordshire has been continuously in the ownership of one family and was built circa 1635 and remodelled by William Kent in the 18th century in a free Gothic style. Further alterations were carried out in the 19th century.

St. Mary's in Redbourn, Hertfordshire. The church goes back to the 12th century - long before the Anglican Church was established. Let us say, the Anglican Church 'inherited' the building from what used to be the Roman Catholic tradition. But who owns it today, and actually? Different Christian denominations deal with this matter in various ways. The Anglican Church decided half a century ago that its church buildings as a matter of principle (there would always be special cases for historical reasons) do not belong to the local congregation but to the institution as such. As you might imagine, there are plenty of pros and cons in this regard. One issue is that the local congregation has to contribute to the maintenance of the building without having the right, say, to sell it. Another matter is that the local congregation is inevitably defined not by what it does or believes in, but a building. 7Artisans lens at approx. F8.

The Jefferson Clinton Hotel was built in 1927 and designed by Syracuse architect Gustavus Young. It was one of approximately 20 hotels in the Armory Square area that serviced the railroads. With 11 floors, it was the tallest structure of its time. When standing on the western corner, the building’s unusual shape presents the illusion of a façade with nothing behind it. Now the hotel features 60 well-appointed luxury suites.
Opened in 1927 as the Hotel Jefferson Clinton, this hotel has undergone a few name changes over its lifetime. The hotel fell into tough times during the Great Depression and had a series of failed ownerships over several decades.
It had fallen into disrepair and was operating as the Dome Hotel (Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome is visible from its top floors) when the hotel closed in 1987. It reopened in June 2001 after a complete renovation as the Hawthorn Suites, in affiliation with the Hyatt-owned Hawthorn Suites chain.
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.

1948 Alvis TA14. And, like all Alvis cars, Alvis only supplied the chassis, drive train, and underpinnings with all being custom bodied by coachbuilders.
The Story of This Particular Car:
The TA-series Alvis was a new model offered after the close of World War II, from 1946 onward. Power for the TA was derived from a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission which were both slightly improved from their prewar configurations. Three body styles were offered: a Sports Saloon by Mulliner, as well as Drophead Coupes by either Carbodies or Tickford.
Despite the TA 14’s origin as a premiere postwar model designed to reinvigorate Alvis’ production facilities towards civilian vehicles, it did better than anyone had hoped. More TA 14s were produced than any other model in the company’s history. It is further believed by the Alvis Owner’s Club that more examples have also survived than any other model, with much of this owed to the robust design and construction. By the end of 1950, the TA 14 had been phased out of production and replaced by the more powerful TA 21.
This particular TA 14 is clothed in the striking Drophead Coupe body supplied by Carbodies, one of just 400 examples believed produced. According to records from the Alvis Owner’s Club, the car was dispatched on 30 August 1948 to the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. where its first owner was employed as the Civil Air attaché. Nearly 40 years later, it appears for sale in a 1986 Alvis Club publication.
More recently, this TA 14 passed through collections in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Sun City West, Arizona prior to acquisition by the consignor in March 2005. It should be noted that several of the car’s previous owners were active members of the Alvis Owner’s Club who were enthusiastic and fastidious stewards of this particular chassis. As such, this nicely preserved TA 14 presently indicates fewer than 48,800 actual miles at time of cataloguing.
While within the consignor’s collection, this stately 1948 Alvis TA 14 Drophead Coupe by Carbodies has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully maintained. With fewer than 400 examples of its kind produced, this chassis is presented showing actual mileage and having benefitted from many years of enthusiast ownership. One would be hard pressed to find a more attractive postwar Alvis.
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.
Thousands of people poured into Manchester City Centre on 24th August 2024 for the annual Pride celebrations.
The streets were filled full of colour as the Manchester Pride parade set off from Deansgate. Taking on a 'Buzzin to be Queer Theme' inspired by the hardworking Manchester bee, 17,000 took part in the parade - the biggest ever number of participants according to Pride bosses.
Held each year, the parade takes place from Deansgate towards the Gay Village and sees thousands of people line the streets to take in the positive vibes of the event and to show unity with the LGBTQ+ community.
As usual, this year’s parade saw drag artists, community groups and allies take part, with the likes of Danny Beard, Tia Kofi, Su Pollard, DJ Paulette, Russell T Davies and Charity Shop Sue amongst some of the famous faces taking part.
Amongst the corporations, community groups and clubs taking part in this year’s parade were the Manchester Runners, George House Trust, Aer Lingus, Moxy Manchester, African Rainbow Family, The Proud Trust, Village Manchester Football Club and Heart radio station.
Speaking about the parade, Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, told the Manchester Evening News: “I am overwhelmed by the turnout of the Parade this year - it is the longest parade we have ever had, and that’s an achievement considering what we’ve had in the past. It’s free for all the community groups and LGBTQ+ organisations to take part, and we always encourage them to take part as much as possible. One of the things I always say is how proud I am of our allies who take part in the parade too.”
Adding about the theme to this year’s parade, Mark said: “We wanted to take the worker bee, which represents Manchester, and adopt that almost in a way that charts the progress of how far we’ve come in terms of LGBTQ+ equality as well as the need to ‘buzz’ the progress on a little bit too. That’s why we created the Progress Bee - we’ve used that symbol as a degree of ownership and identity. It’s part of the fabric of what Manchester stands for, and the support that we’ve had and that so many pioneers have stepped out and pushed the movement forward.
“We wanted to chart it as a hive of progress recognising all of those that have gone before us and those who take the bee on today and march for continued progress.”
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?

King's Cross railway station, also known as London King's Cross, is a passenger railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, on the edge of Central London. It is in the London station group, one of the busiest stations in the United Kingdom
The station was opened in Kings Cross in 1852 by the Great Northern Railway on the northern edge of Central London to accommodate the East Coast Main Line. It quickly grew to cater to suburban lines and was expanded several times in the 19th century. It came under the ownership of the London and North Eastern Railway as part of the Big Four grouping in 1923, who introduced famous services such as the Flying Scotsman and locomotives such as Mallard. The station complex was redeveloped in the 1970s, simplifying the layout and providing electric suburban services, and it became a major terminus for the high-speed InterCity 125. As of 2018, long-distance trains from King's Cross are run by London North Eastern Railway to Edinburgh Waverley, Leeds and Newcastle; other long-distance operators include Hull Trains and Grand Central
In the late 20th century, the area around the station became known for its seedy and downmarket character, and was used as a backdrop for several films as a result. A major redevelopment was undertaken in the 21st century, including restoration of the original roof, and the station became well known for its association with the Harry Potter books and films, particularly the fictional Platform 9+3⁄4.
Our incredible canine companion gifted to us by his previous owner seen here keeping a close eye on me while taking photos.
We are fortunate to have been given this thoughtful creature who had saved John (his previous owner).
This dog was John's PTSD dog and watched over John so that he could now feel safe and relax after his traumatic military service having lost three friends during one Christmas period from his military unit.
John was understandably after this experience struggling with the loss of his Australian brothers in arms.
John's commanding officer wisely advised John after this experience to get a dog as a companion as he feared he may end up dead.
So a few months after this advice John went to a dog rescue center and was not sure what sort of dog he needed when a little nine month old Boofy came over to John with his then tortured soul.
Boofy looked into John's eyes, wrapped his little front puppy legs around his arm and would not let go and John realized he had found the right dog and canine soul brother and left with young Boofy after paying some veterinary fees and doing the new ownership paperwork.
9 years later John collapsed from an infection in his house. Boofy refused to let John go to sleep as he sensed he would possibly not wake up again.
Boofy ended up jumping on John as he lay on the floor to stop him falling asleep and finally John realized in his daze that he had to phone for an ambulance for help and he then passed out.
The ambulance guys had to break into John's house and Boofy led these guys to John.
Subsequently when John woke up in hospital
he was very aware that he had been asked in effect to phone for help before being allowed to pass out as the Doctors had told John he was definitely about to die from sepsis.
This dog is an Australian cattle dog X German boxer cross.
You may notice the Bentley star on his forehead.
My son and nephew are proud to call this wonderful creature their wolf brother.
Boofy can now relax with our family where he just wanders around the garden at will and bothers the birds and lizards, just doing doggy things in his later years now and enjoys our family outings.
John, his previous owner phones up regularly to ask how Boofy is going and we send John photos.
He is very happy that Boofy can just be a dog and relax and not feel obligated to care for John now and that in itself is a sign of incredible strength and compassion on John's behalf.

te Couwelaer Castle
Te Couwelaar Castle is a remnant of a 16th- to 17th-century moated castle.
In 1606, it belonged to cloth merchant Gillis Du Mont, alias Brialmont, who had also owned the neighbouring Bisschoppenhof castle since 1595. The Du Monts had the castle considerably improved. In 1735, after various changes of ownership, it came into the hands of Pedro de Man, former Antwerp alderman, who had major alterations made in 1766.
Te Couwelaar Castle was bought by the municipality of Deurne in 1927 and occupied by administrative services, warehouses and workshops until 1970.
Currently, five families live in the castle.
In 1998, the castle was protected as a monument.
--------------------------------------
Kasteel te Couwelaar is een overblijfsel van een 16de- tot 17de-eeuws waterslot.
In 1606 eigendom van lakenkoopman Gillis Du Mont, alias Brialmont, sedert 1595 ook eigenaar van het naburige kasteel Bisschoppenhof. De Du Monts lieten het kasteel aanzienlijk verbeteren. In 1735, na verschillende eigendomswisselingen, in handen van Pedro de Man, oud-schepen van Antwerpen, die in 1766 grote veranderingswerken liet uitvoeren.
Kasteel te Couwelaar werd in 1927 opgekocht door de gemeente Deurne en tot 1970 bezet door administratieve diensten, magazijnen, werkplaatsen.
Momenteel wonen er vijf gezinnen in het kasteel.
In 1998 werd het kasteel beschermd als monument.
After 14 years ownership by The Class 56 Group, 56301 is now a DCR owned loco and is seen earning its keep at Breaston with 6L92 11.08 Chaddesden Sidings to Kings Lynn empty sand working. The Fastline liveried survivor is looking a little rough round the edges and a repaint into a heritage livery could be on the cards. Pole shot. 28/03/25.
If my math is correct, VGN’s mileposts measured 441 miles from Norfolk extending westward across Virginia and called their end of ownership up at Deep Water, WV. That makes this loaded coal train only 10 miles from the end of VGN ownership.
When DB Cargo took over PTKiGK Zabrze, it also got ownership of M62-1241. Some years ago this loco was put on broad gauge bogies and transferred to Małaszewicze, where it is used for shunting. Unfortunately last year the loco lost its nice green/red PTKiGK livery and now wears the corporate DB livery.
"Oxburgh Hall is a moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk, England. The hall was built for Sir Edmund Bedingfeld who obtained a licence to crenellate in 1482. The Bedingfelds gained the manor of Oxborough through marriage in the early 15th century, and the family has lived at the hall since its construction, although ownership passed to the National Trust in 1952. The house underwent extensive refurbishment in the mid 19th century under John Chessell Buckler and Augustus Pugin." - Wikipedia

The Washington Avenue Bridge (1902), a pin-connected, steel Pennsylvania through-truss, spans the Brazos River north of Downtown Waco, Texas. The bridge is located 200 yards west of the Waco Suspension Bridge (1870; NRHP 1970). Built for two-way access, both traffic lanes on the bridge now run in one direction (southwesterly), carrying vehicular traffic from Elm Avenue to Washington Avenue. Pedestrian traffic continues in both directions. The length of the main span is 450 feet. Two approach spans measure 67 feet on the east side and 40 feet on the west, resulting in a total length of 557 feet. The total width, including roadway and sidewalks, is 41½ feet. At its highest point, the truss is 60 feet above the road surface. The bridge's substructure consists of four piers, 96 inches in diameter, one under each inclined end post. The piers are poured-in-place concrete, with the top 20 feet clad in ⅜-inch rolled steel plate. Each pair of piers is braced and cladded with ⅜-inch steel plates and angles, riveted diagonally between the them. The bracing is placed only at the top 18 feet of each pier. The inclined end posts are attached to the piers with a 6-inch diameter steel pin. On the west side the connection assembly is bolted to the top of the pier. To accommodate expansion and contraction the pinned connection assembly on the east side is allowed to slide on rails that are anchored to the top of the piers.
The Washington Avenue Bridge was the second permanent vehicular structure built across the Brazos River in Waco, Texas. The Waco Suspension Bridge (NR 1970) provided the first permanent crossing one block down river (east) in 1870. The 1902 bridge was, at the time of construction, the longest single-span vehicular truss bridge in Texas. Due to the 450-foot span, a truss system with a bowed top chord had to be used, and the Pennsylvania truss - useful in spanning great distances - was chosen. The Washington Avenue Bridge opened to traffic on June 30, 1902, forming a vital link between two main thoroughfares, Washington Avenue on the west bank and Elm Avenue on the east. The contract was awarded to J.H. Sparks of St. Joseph, Missouri, at a cost of $93,300. The railings and approach spans were constructed by Mess Hill Bros, at a cost of $1,850. John Wharton Maxey of Houston served as supervising engineer. McLennan County and the City of Waco each contributed $50,000 to meet the expenses, resulting in joint ownership of the bridge.
The Washington Avenue Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on February 20, 1998 for its significance in engineering and how it contributed to the rapid economic and demographic growth of Waco on both sides of the river in the early part of the 20th century. All of the information above and much, much more was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

After World War II, and following considerable controversy, the City of Philadelphia agreed that it would transfer custody of the bell and Independence Hall, while retaining ownership, to the federal government. The city would also transfer various colonial-era buildings it owned. Congress agreed to the transfer in 1948, and three years later Independence National Historical Park was founded, incorporating those properties and administered by the National Park Service (NPS or Park Service).[69] The Park Service would be responsible for maintaining and displaying the bell.[70] The NPS would also administer the three blocks just north of Independence Hall that had been condemned by the state, razed, and developed into a park, Independence Mall.

Neist Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on Neist Point on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It was designed by David Alan Stevenson and was first lit on 1 November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages.
Since 1990, the lighthouse has been operated remotely from the Northern Lighthouse Board headquarters in Edinburgh. The former keepers' cottages are now in private ownership.
In 1971 the lighthouse was listed as a Category B listed building.

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.

Without any context behind this Maestro, you may have thought that ULEZ would have been a death knell for it, however the owner had two or three other Maestros, so is no doubt an enthusiast who is aware of their rarity. Since ULEZ, it appears they have sold the two others, yet have kept this one, albeit on SORN. Perhaps they are waiting a few more years until the car is exempt from the charge so they can use it again freely.

The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, west of Lapworth in Warwickshire.
The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal was conceived as part of a network of canals which would allow coal from the Dudley Canal and the Stourbridge Canal to reach Oxford and London, without having to use the Birmingham canals. An Act was passed on 28 March 1793 for the construction of a canal from a junction with the Worcester and Birmingham Canal in Kings Norton to Stratford-upon-Avon.
The route would take it close to Warwick and Birmingham Canal at Lapworth, but the act did not include any provision for a direct connection with it, or with the River Avon at Stratford. Negotiations started with the Warwick and Birmingham, and to second act was obtained on 19 May 1795.
Josiah Clowes was employed as the engineer, and construction began in November 1793, starting at the Kings Norton end. He was also working on the Dudley Canal's extension, and another four canal schemes at the same time, and was the first great tunnel engineer. The main line reached Hockley Heath in May 1796; one mile (1.6 km) short of the first lock at Lapworth.
The Dudley Canal extension through the Lappal tunnel was opened in early 1798, and with progress being made on the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, the Company obtained a third act of Parliament on 21 June 1799, which allowed it to raise more money. Work restarted in 1799 under a new engineer called Samuel Porter. He continued as far as Kingswood Junction, which was formally opened on 24 May 1802.
Construction only recommenced in 1812, under the leadership of William James of Stratford. James, who had owned shares in the Company since 1793, had a wide interest in turnpike roads and railways and coal mining. He rose to become chairman of the Canal Company, and personally bought the Upper Avon Navigation in 1813. He wanted to create a through route between the River Severn and the Midlands, and so the Canal Company obtained a further act of Parliament on 12 May 1815, which authorised a connection between the canal and the Avon at Stratford. The canal reached Stratford in June 1816 and a connection with the River Avon was made.
The southern section of the canal never realised James' ambitions, as the Upper Avon was too tortuous and prone to floods to be a reliable through route. He spent some £6,000 on improvements to the Upper Avon locks in 1822, but over-reached himself, and was declared bankrupt shortly afterwards.
Traffic steadily built up, although tolls were low, to offset the costs imposed on goods passing through Kingswood Junction to the Warwick and Birmingham Canal. In 1845, the company agreed to sell the canal to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, who were also keen to purchase the Stratford and Moreton Tramway. Another change of ownership occurred in 1863, when the railway company was absorbed by the Great Western Railway. Traffic gradually decreased, but the fall in receipts was faster than the fall in tonnage, as the railway took the long-distance loads.

The BMI Hospital in Lincoln is a private hospital delivering high quality private patient care. Despite the name it will always be thought of by the majority of Lincoln residents as "The Bromhead", the name of it's founder. On 28 May 1866 an Institution for Nurses was opened and trained nurses at Mrs AF Bromhead's house on Greestone Terrace, it provided nurses for the poor of Lincoln and aided other institutions during epidemics. In 1869 further premises were needed and rented locally until in 1887 this building, known at the time as The Red House, was built on the corner of Nettleham Road and Church Lane as a memorial to the founder and first Lady Superintendent, Mrs AF Bromhead. The Red House was extended on several subsequent occasions and became known as the Bromhead Nursing Home. It was taken over by the National Health Service in 1948, but in 1981 it became the Bromhead Hospital, run by an independent charitable trust. In 2001 it was sold to the Nuffield Hospitals Group and became known as the Lincoln Nuffield Hospital until in February this year when ownership passed on to the BMI Healthcare Group.
