Posting this a bit super quick as I was only there this morning.
I have just spent a week in the Lake District being totally rained on. I do have one or two photos to post but it wasn't the best, it was just a massive recce really!
So I was very happy to be here this morning amidst some epic Autumn conditions.
De Place Masséna is een bouwproject uit de jaren 1830, toen Nizza niet tot Frankrijk behoorde. Bij de komst van de tram in 2007 is het plein geheel opnieuw ingericht. De menselijke figuren in boeddhahouding op hun hoge masten, 's avonds van binnenuit verlicht, zijn een werk van de Barcelonese kunstenaar Jaume Plensa.
De Place Masséna was het centrale knooppunt van het vroegere tramnet in Nice dat bestond tussen 1878 en 1953. De elektrische trams betrokken hun spanning in het centrum van ondergrondse stroomrails, opdat het jaarlijkse carnaval ongehinderd kon passeren. L'histoire se répète: ook de tegenwoordige trams doen het hier zonder bovenleiding. Zij overbruggen dit traject met behulp van accu's
Place Masséna is a building project from the 1830s, when Nizza was not part of France. The place was thoroughly renovated when the new tram line was built, opened in 2007. The buddha-esque human figures on their high poles, lit from inside at night, are a work of the Barcelonese artist Jaume Plensa.
Place Masséna was the central hub in Nice's former tramway network, existing from 1878 to 1953. Power supply for the electric trams was in the centre by conduit instead of overhead wires, to allow enough space to the yearly carnival parade. History repeats itself: contemporary trams also do without overhead wires at this place. Now they run on batteries here

Another angle from this special day long ago.
The Alaska Railroad "snow fleet" work train is arriving at Spencer with a Jordan Spreader, two geeps, and the ARR's sole depressed center flat car carrying a big Caterpillar excavator. Spencer is not accessible by road so all the ARR's heavy equipment must be transported in by company work train. Here the train is crossing over the glacier fed Placer River at MP 54 in the heart of the Chugach National Forrest. From John Comb's Alaskarails.org site:
Spreader 7 is known as the "winter spreader" and was built in the early 70s to replace spreader #5. Number 7 has a full length house along deck which makes it top heavy, so it rocks and rolls at critical speeds. After a roll-over derailment with the 3008 and the 1805 at MP 139 around 1994, it was rebuilt with four window cab sides from a GP40 and a propane heater replacing the oil fired stove which requires four tanks to be mounted on the sides.
The work train crew is heading south up toward the site of the massive slide near MP49 in the famous "loop district" that buried a northbound freight out of Seward nearly a week prior. The excavator with the custom designed snow bucket is on its way to continue the arduous task of extracting flat cars from a tomb of snow.

The famous lunch Hut in the Upper Cabrach nestled on the side of the hill. Although I have photographed this place lots of times this is my first image of the hut since it was recently repaired after vandals significantly damaged it.
Another image in my special series on the Seaside Tide Pools. Some folks make the crossing of the pools slow and steady; others not so much.
The Sutton Place Hotel, located in the centre of Vancouver, was completed in 1985 and is 67 metres tall.
Sirince as a former Greek village. In the 19th century, the famous fig production, was one Greek town. Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 with the departure of the results of the Greeks, were settled by emigrants from Kavalav to Somokol village. The famous wine-producing village. Say hi to me to Anatolia.
Greek writer Dido Sotiriyu, who was born in 1909 in Sirince Village of Izmir,
Say hi to me to Anatolia.
He describes the lands where he was born and grew up with the words "If there is a place called paradise on this earth, our Kirkinca (Sirince) must be a part of that paradise".

Week 3: My Happy Place (Jan 15th- 21st)
----------------------------------------------------------
This week's theme "My Happy Place" wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. Weather and travel restrictions presented problems, so I went to my creative "happy" place.
My happy "places" are many, and the beach is at the top of the list. So I chose three photos from three different beach places and combined them. The clouds are from Vero Beach in Florida, the waves are from Kure Beach in North Carolina and the sandy beach is from Westerly, Rhode Island. Could have squeezed in Cape Cod, since that is a place full of happy as well.
However, in serious retrospect, my true happy place is anywhere I am as long as I am behind the lens, so I can capture and preserve the places and events that I encounter everyday. This past year has been a challenge, but I am not discouraged, meaning I hope and pray everyday for the best.
The Market Place in England's smallest cathedral city, Wells (pop. 12,000) in the county of Somerset. A golden October afternoon shows off the honey-coloured ashlar particularly well.
The two towers in the foreground date to Bishop Bekynton's "New Works" improvements to the cathedral precincts in 1450-1, as is the building immediately to the left of the "Bishop's Eye", the tallest of the towers. The building housing "London House" (16 Market Place) is a little newer, dating to the 16th Century, and with
considerable additions and alterations in the early 17th Century and an early 20th Century refronting.
The shops on the left are also from Bishop Benkyton's mid-15th Century works, although they were renovated in the 19th Century.
The South Tower of Wells Cathedral is visible poking above the rooftops.
