The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. Being declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California. It was initially designed by engineer Joseph Strauss in 1917. The bridge was named for the Golden Gate strait, the channel that it spans.
The Golden Gate Bridge is described in Frommer's travel guide as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. Its main span is 4,200 feet and total height is 746 feet
Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the overall design and construction of the bridge project. However, because he had little understanding or experience with cable-suspension designs, responsibility for much of the engineering and architecture fell on other experts. Strauss's initial design proposal (two double cantilever spans linked by a central suspension segment) was unacceptable from a visual standpoint. The final graceful suspension design was conceived and championed by Leon Moisseiff, the engineer of the Manhattan Bridge in New York City.
Irving Morrow, a relatively unknown residential architect, designed the overall shape of the bridge towers, the lighting scheme, and Art Deco elements, such as the tower decorations, streetlights, railing, and walkways. The famous International Orange color was Morrow's personal selection, winning out over other possibilities, including the US Navy's suggestion that it be painted with black and yellow stripes to ensure visibility by passing ships.
Senior engineer Charles Alton Ellis, collaborating remotely with Moisseiff, was the principal engineer of the project. Moisseiff produced the basic structural design, introducing his "deflection theory" by which a thin, flexible roadway would flex in the wind, greatly reducing stress by transmitting forces via suspension cables to the bridge towers. Although the Golden Gate Bridge design has proved sound, a later Moisseiff design, the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, collapsed in a strong windstorm soon after it was completed, because of an unexpected aeroelastic flutter. Ellis was also tasked with designing a "bridge within a bridge" in the southern abutment, to avoid the need to demolish Fort Point, a pre–Civil War masonry fortification viewed, even then, as worthy of historic preservation. He penned a graceful steel arch spanning the fort and carrying the roadway to the bridge's southern anchorage.

Ellis was a Greek scholar and mathematician who at one time was a University of Illinois professor of engineering despite having no engineering degree. He eventually earned a degree in civil engineering from the University of Illinois prior to designing the Golden Gate Bridge and spent the last twelve years of his career as a professor at Purdue University. He became an expert in structural design, writing the standard textbook of the time. Ellis did much of the technical and theoretical work that built the bridge, but he received none of the credit in his lifetime. In November 1931, Strauss fired Ellis and replaced him with a former subordinate, Clifford Paine, ostensibly for wasting too much money sending telegrams back and forth to Moisseiff. Ellis, obsessed with the project and unable to find work elsewhere during the Depression, continued working 70 hours per week on an unpaid basis, eventually turning in ten volumes of hand calculations.
With an eye toward self-promotion and posterity, Strauss downplayed the contributions of his collaborators who, despite receiving little recognition or compensation, are largely responsible for the final form of the bridge. He succeeded in having himself credited as the person most responsible for the design and vision of the bridge. Only much later were the contributions of the others on the design team properly appreciated. In May 2007, the Golden Gate Bridge District issued a formal report on 70 years of stewardship of the famous bridge and decided to give Ellis major credit for the design of the bridge

One of the things I cherish about my passion for photography is how it forces me to look, not just glance at the world around me. I've been to Kozjak Waterfall in Slovenia a few times during my life, but I never saw it through the viewfinder. This time, I went there as a photographer. I have to say, it was a revelation and it felt like I was experiencing it for the very first time. When I finally found the right spot, not too far and not too close to the subject, I waited for the sunlight to enter the canyon. I patiently waited until the sun found its way into this magical crevasse. When the spot of light appeared, the iridescent water for just began to glow as if touched by a magic wand. This special moment lasts barely 10 minutes during the summer days. The place lit up with colours and you could taste the fragrance in the air coming from the grass, the pines, the mountain flowers, damp moss, the fresh mist coming off of the waterfall and the glow of the summer light bouncing off the rocks above me. This, all of this, I wanted to capture with a single frame. The whole experience, not just what my eyes saw...This may be a controversial statement, but I believe that nobody walks away from a visited destination with as much as photographers. Because traveling to a new place shouldn't just be about ticking the mark next to its name and taking a few selfies for the road. It's about savoring its essence, feeling it on your skin, in your heart and in your mind and then, only then, capturing the moment for posterity. This waterfall is a sublime work of nature. Nothing less than a total surrender merits its existence.
More about this location:
The Kozjak brook, feeding the Soča river from the east (on the left), springs high beneath Mt. Krnčica (2142 m), and runs through many pools making six waterfalls. One of Slovenia’s most picturesque waterfalls, the Veliki Kozjak, was created in the outlet of the lower Korita of the Kozjak Brook.
Approximately 250 meters lower, the water falls again. Here, the waterfall carved an underground hall. Its bottom is covered by a vast blue and green pool, and its walls are reminiscent of those in the Karst caves. A 15 meter high white water column offers its visitors an unforgettable scenery.
Tech info: This shot was taken in a 2012 with Canon 5D mk2, Canon 24mm TS-E lens fit with Heliopan 82mm CPL filter and Tiffen 4-stop ND filter. I re-processed it in April 2016 with my current post-production techniques which never cease to evolve. I used luminosity masks to blend 3 various exposures into a much better controlled representation of light and shadows. I used Photoshop CC 2016, NIK Collection to turn the vision into the image. I worked on a custom built PC, powered by Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and Wacom Intuos Pro graphic tablet.
Poem.
Glowing winter sunset,
mirrored tree reflections.
Tall, patterned, orange Pugin chimneys,
black, white and brown Canada Geese.
Sandstone cottages and
Pine-topped hills.
Near the pond, edged by Reeds and Rushes,
the once Mill-driving Tillingbourne stream
trickles westwards to join the Wey.
Tucked in its largely rural valley in early Spring.
A seat with a view.
Solace.
What is this world if full of care,
we have no time to stand and stare?
(and click a shutter for posterity.)
The dogs did not take kindly to this masked intruder roaming about on our deck at 3:30 this morning. Dooley sprang at the door to the deck, warning of some danger, and waking me from a dead sleep nearby. I’m pretty sure Dooley wanted to hurt him.
Raccoon did not take kindly to leaping dog, and climbed up on our bird feeder pole. It was a precarious position, and he spit some threats back at us. (They aren’t as friendly as they look, and petting him seemed out of the question.)
I snagged a photo for posterity, and for evidence that we share our lives with all kinds of others.
No one was injured, but much adrenaline was spent. Sleep came after, but it took some time to settle “ourselves” back down.
Good morning to you.

"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.
You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."
- Written by John Adams in a letter to his wife Abigail on July 3rd, 1776, after the Continental Congress had voted on the 2nd of July to adopt the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Adams believed that future Americans would celebrate their independence in this way on the 2nd of July every year.
Early wishes for a happy Independence Day to all my American friends.

We noticed that all of the colorful people were sitting on the pea-soup-green couch. It had to be preserved for posterity.
Der Johannapark wurde in den Jahren 1858 bis 1863 von dem Leipziger Unternehmer und Bankier Wilhelm Theodor Seyfferth (1807–1881) auf eigene Kosten angelegt und später der Stadt gestiftet. Damit wollte er an seine im Alter von 21 Jahren verstorbene Tochter Johanna Natalie Schulz erinnern. Der Überlieferung nach war sie daran zerbrochen, dass sie dem väterlichen Wunsch entsprechend den ungeliebten Dr. Gustav Schulz heiraten musste. Voller Reue gedachte ihr Vater, der Nachwelt etwas, das in ihrem Sinne gewesen wäre, zu hinterlassen: Seyfferth erwarb die am Pleißeufer gelegene Martorffer Wiese und einige angrenzende Flächen und ließ sie nach Plänen von Peter Joseph Lenné (1789–1866) in einen Park im Stil englischer Landschaftsgärten verwandeln. Wie bei Lenné üblich wurden viele exotische Baumarten angepflanzt, so dass der Park streckenweise den Charakter eines Botanischen Gartens bekam. Im Zentrum der Grünanlage wurde ein Teich mit einer kleinen Insel und zwei Brücken angelegt. Mit Seyfferths Tod 1881 ging der Park testamentarisch auf die Stadt Leipzig über mit der Bedingung, das Gelände nicht zu überbauen. Er wurde nochmals bis zu einer Grundfläche von acht Hektar vergrößert. Mit dem Bau der Lutherkirche zwischen 1884 und 1887 wurde ein architektonischer Akzent im Stil der Neogotik gesetzt. Durch die Zusammenlegung mit den Gärten und Grundstücken einiger im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörter Gebäude kam der Park zu seinen heutigen Abmessungen.

Johannapark (Johanna's Park) was laid out between 1858 and 1863 by the Leipzig entrepreneur and banker Wilhelm Theodor Seyfferth (1807-1881) at his own expense and later donated to the city. With this donation he wanted to honour the memory of his daughter Johanna Natalie Schulz, who died at the age of 21. According to tradition, she was broken by the fact that she had to marry the unloved Dr. Gustav Schulz according to her father's wish. Full of remorse, her father intended to leave behind to posterity something that would have been in her best interests: Seyfferth acquired the Martorff Meadow, located on the banks of the River Pleiße, and some adjoining areas and had it transformed into a park in the style of English landscape gardens according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné (1789-1866). As usual for Lenné, many exotic tree species were planted, so that the park partly got the character of a botanical garden. A pond with a small island and two bridges was created in the centre of the park. With Seyfferth's death in 1881, the park was bequeathed to the city of Leipzig in his will, with the condition that the area not be built over. It was enlarged again to a total area of eight hectares. With the construction of Luther Church between 1884 and 1887, an architectural accent was set in the Gothic Revival style. By integrating the gardens and plots of land of some buildings destroyed in the Second World War, the park reached its current dimensions of 11 hectares.

seldom see these cattle carts in a city so its worth taking a photo of for posterity. this person uses his cattle cart to carry his goods to be sold in the city.
I requested the dentist that I keep my wisdom teeth. Weird, I know, but I like to save them for posterity's sake.
And despite the whimsical nature of this photo, I'm actually in a lot of excrutiating pain. FUUUUUU-

Aforisma
.
I siciliani – dice il Di Castro – generalmente sono più astuti che prudenti, più acuti che sinceri, amano le novità, sono litigiosi, adulatori e per natura invidiosi; sottili critici delle azioni dei governanti, ritengono sia facile realizzare tutto quello che loro dicono farebbero se fossero al posto dei governanti.
D'altra parte, sono obbedienti alla Giustizia, fedeli al Re e sempre pronti ad aiutarlo, affezionati ai forestieri e pieni di riguardi nello stabilirsi delle amicizie.
La loro natura è fatta di due estremi: sono sommamente timidi e sommamente temerari.
Timidi quando trattano i loro affari, poiché sono molto attaccati ai propri interessi e per portarli a buon fine si trasformano come tanti Protei, si sottomettono a chiunque può agevolarli e diventano a tal punto servili che sembrano nati per servire.
Ma sono di incredibile temerarietà quando maneggiano la cosa pubblica e allora agiscono in tutt'altro modo...
E prima aveva avvertito: la Sicilia è stata fatale a tutti i suoi governanti; e la maggior parte di essi ha lasciato sepolta in quel Regno la reputazione in modo tale che nemmeno nella posterità ha potuto mai più risorgere.
…………………………………………….Leonardo Sciascia.

Aphorism
.
The Sicilians - says Di Castro - generally are smarter than prudent, more acute and sincere love novelty, are quarrelsome, and by nature envious flatterers; subtle critics of the actions of rulers, find it easy to achieve all that they say would if they were the rulers.
On the other hand, are obedient to Justice, loyal to the King and always ready to help, fond of strangers and full of consideration in establishing friendships.
Their nature is made up of two extremes: they are extremely shy and extremely daring.
Shy when they treat their business as they are very attached to their interests and to bring them to fruition turn as many Protei, submit to anyone who can help them and become subservient to such an extent that seem born to serve.
But they are incredible recklessness when handling public affairs and then act in a completely different way ...
And before had warned Sicily was fatal to all their rulers, and most of them left buried in that kingdom's reputation in such a way that even in posterity could never rise again.
…………………………………………….Leonardo Sciascia.

I spent Saturday running around SW Wisconsin with 8 other dudes, visiting 4 historical railroad sites and riding 3 different tourist trains. We hit the Fennimore and Riverside & Great Northern 15” gauge railroads before going up to the Mid-Continent for a special memorial train for the late Clint Jones.
I never knew Clint, but I know or have known a lot of people like him having grown up with my dad being president of the CNWHS. Paul Swanson, who I was graciously invited by, is one such fellow. According to the obituary: “Clint was a Railroader and an Industrial Archaeologist. He started his career working for the Milwaukee Road at the age of 20. Throughout his career he worked for several railroads as well as owning and operating his own. Most recently, the Mineral Range Railroad in Marquette County. He had a keen interest in not just railroading but also mining history, especially that of the Copper Country.”
Despite the horrendous weather, the Mid-Continent drug out some rarely-used Cooper Range coaches for a ride to commemorate his life with family, friends, and fellow railroad historians. I’m happy to have been invited and was more than pleased to get absolutely soaked taking some photos of the event for posterity.
Downy Woodpecker Love.
Serendipity. I looked up and saw two small birds, a ways apart in this tree. I brought the camera up, and the one little woodpecker approached the other. In the blink of a small bird's eye it was over. Happily, and luckily, it was recorded for posterity.

4 Feb 2012 - DPS Silver medal winner - Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography
Arriving in the dark, guided by our head torches, we are the first here and get the choicest spot. In a few short minutes a small crowd has gathered and sets up around us.
The light begins to fade in and there is a sea of tripod legs, intertwined for the lack of space to fit everyone in. It's a cosy experience, but us photographers are a friendly bunch, so jokes and stories are exchanged while we wait for the light show to begin.
And then it happens. The magic of dawn through this arch is as magnificent as I have ever seen. The primeval landscape is shown at it's best and 30 or so photographers frantically try to capture that magic for posterity. We fade away in two's and three's, reluctant to leave the place which thrilled us so much.
To Harald and CMvW, it was my great pleasure to meet you both and to share this morning with you.

Blessings & Beauty, Breathtaking Sunset Tampa Bay Florida Panorama - IMRAN™ (SOOC)
Even though it was tempting to brighten and equalize the dark blue shades and hues of the water, I chose to present this breathtaking sunset on Tampa Bay, Florida, as a stitched image from 11 magnificent Nikon D850 photos straight out of camera, with ZERO color editing or tweaking of any kind. The image had to be straightened because I seem to always tilt my camera to the right in portrait orientation photos, and the top edge had some content aware fill artifacts cleaned up to fill blank white spaces. But, the tones, the shades, the colors, the hues, the magic, are all as I saw them and as the Nikon faithfully captured them. What a blessing to experience this moment at my blessed home in Apollo Beach while I am alive and able to, by God's blessings. These sunsets and ends of the days will continue long after the end of our days on earth. But, what better way to have lived than to have appreciated every moment, every blessing, every experience, and having been fortunate enough to capture some of those magical glimpses into the beauty of nature for posterity. Thank you for the love and prayers, always, as I bow my head in prayer to the Almighty Allah, the One God of all creation, and heaven and earth.

Before a strong breeze sent the seeds from this mighty, much maligned dandelion group, I endeavored to take a family portrait of them this very afternoon in order to save the intricate loveliness of them for posterity. The definition "weed" is in the eye of the beholder, I've always thought, for I think that the dandelion's under-appreciated beauty outranks many a flower blossom, at the very least, many that I have seen in my comings and goings out and about in nature. I say long live the mighty fine dandelion, and to hell with manicured lawns! But that's just me.
The battle for posterity...
The male drops a spermatophore in front of the female and takes a drop with his antenna out of the spermatophore. He goes backwards pulling a thread that the female normaly is following so she goes over the spermatophore, but now a second male and the female are eating the spermatophore and the first male must try better another time...
Polistes paper wasps busy building for the next generation.
In the spring, a queen finds a suitable location and begins by constructing a short stalk. I learned that this is often coated with an ant-repellent substance. She then builds the first few cells and is later joined by further foundresses that help to build the nest.
Their tiny eggs can be seen here, within the cells.
From a respectful and safe distance away, I enjoyed watching them busy at work.

22nd September 2019 - Mexican acoustic rock guitar duo 'Rodrigo Y Gabriela' were back in Liverpool's O2 Academy to promote their new album 'Mettavolution'. Of course I was there to record the events for posterity..
Thought I'd throw up this crappy, front-coupled shot of Bay Coast Railroad GP15-1 #400 solely for the neat paint scheme.
The 400 came in from Decatur, IL on NS train 301 and is seen here backing into AO Smith yard from the Brooklyn District at WR Tower in Granite City, IL. At least it's somewhat back home again, having reportedly started life as Frisco #115. It later got moved to MEI's Arsenal Street shops in St. Louis.
Thanks to MM for the heads-up on this move - I was able to get in position shortly after getting off work.

Suecia - Helsingborg - Kärnan

ENGLISH
Kärnan (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɕæːˈɳan]; Danish: Kernen, both literally The Core) is a medieval tower in Helsingborg, Scania, in southern Sweden. It is the only part remaining of a larger Danish fortress which, along with the fortress Kronborg on the opposite of Øresund, controlled the entranceway between Kattegat and Øresund and further south the Baltic Sea.
The origins of the Helsingborg fortress is disputed but Danish legend places its origin to the reign of the legendary King Fróði. However, this legend has not been supported by archaeological proof. Dendrochronological dating has shown that the core was built in the 1310s, when Eric VI of Denmark was King of Denmark. It was considered the most important fortress in Denmark, and was integral in securing control over the strait between Scania and Zealand.
It was surrendered to Sweden along with the rest of Skåneland as part of the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. The fortress was retaken by Danish forces in 1676 during the Scanian War, and its capture celebrated by flying a giant Flag of Denmark above it. This flag was later captured by the Swedish army and is preserved in the Army Museum (Armémuseum) in Stockholm. The fortress returned to Swedish control by the Treaty of Lund in 1679. Charles XI of Sweden ordered most of it demolished fearing that it was too exposed to a sneak attack from Denmark. The only thing that was saved for posterity was the old medieval tower core. The tower continued to serve as a landmark for shipping through Øresund.
The castle was restored starting during 1893-94, under instructions from Oscar Ferdinand Trapp, a Swedish businessman and engineer (1847–1916). Architect for the restoration was Josef Alfred Hellerström (1863–1931), Helsingborg city architect from 1903 to 1928. The objective of the restoration was to restore, to the extent possible, the appearance the structure had based upon the oldest known medieval illustration. The building's crenellation dates from these repairs.

ESPAÑOL
Kärnan ( pronunciación sueca: [ˈɕæːˈɳan] ; danés : Kernen) es una torre medieval en Helsingborg, Scania, en el sur de Suecia. Es la única parte que queda de una fortaleza danesa más grande que, junto con la fortaleza Kronborg en el lado opuesto de Øresund, controlaba la entrada entre Kattegat y Øresund y más al sur del Mar Báltico.
Los orígenes de la fortaleza de Helsingborg son controvertidos, pero la leyenda danesa sitúa su origen en el reinado del legendario rey Fróði. Sin embargo, esta leyenda no ha sido apoyada por pruebas arqueológicas. La datación dendrocronológica ha demostrado que el núcleo se construyó en la década de 1310, cuando Eric VI de Dinamarca era el rey de Dinamarca. Fue considerada la fortaleza más importante de Dinamarca y fue fundamental para asegurar el control sobre el estrecho entre Scania y Zelandia .
Se entregó a Suecia junto con el resto de Skåneland como parte del Tratado de Roskilde en 1658. La fortaleza fue recuperada por las fuerzas danesas en 1676 durante la Guerra de Scania, y su captura se celebró volando una Bandera gigante de Dinamarca sobre ella. Esta bandera fue capturada más tarde por el ejército sueco y se conserva en el Museo del Ejército (Armémuseum) en Estocolmo. La fortaleza regresó al control sueco por el Tratado de Lund en 1679. Carlos XI de Suecia ordenó la demolición de la mayoría por temor a estar demasiado expuesto a un ataque furtivo de Dinamarca. Lo único que se guardó para la posteridad fue el antiguo núcleo de la torre medieval. La torre continuó sirviendo como un punto de referencia para el envío a través de Øresund.
El castillo fue restaurado a partir de 1893-94, siguiendo las instrucciones de Oscar Ferdinand Trapp, un empresario e ingeniero sueco (1847–1916). El arquitecto para la restauración fue Josef Alfred Hellerström (1863–1931), arquitecto de la ciudad de Helsingborg desde 1903 hasta 1928. El objetivo de la restauración era restaurar, en la medida de lo posible, la apariencia de la estructura basada en la ilustración medieval más antigua conocida. La almena del edificio data de estas reparaciones.
Les Bourgeois de Calais est un groupe statuaire d'Auguste Rodin commandé par la ville de Calais où a été inauguré le premier exemplaire en bronze en 1895. C’est une des œuvres les plus célèbres de Rodin qui a laissé une postérité artistique importante. De manière définitive, il existe douze éditions originales en bronze des Bourgeois de Calais.
Cette œuvre représente six personnages (Eustache de Saint Pierre, Jacques et Pierre de Wissant, Jean de Fiennes, Andrieu d'Andres et Jean d'Aire), victimes d'un rituel de reddition imposé par le roi d'Angleterre Édouard III en août 1347. Elle symbolise le sacrifice de ces six hommes pour laisser la vie sauve à l’ensemble des habitants de la ville sur le point d'être conquise par les Anglais. Rodin participe à l'entreprise de mythification de cet épisode historique, faisant d'un banal rituel de capitulation, d'amende honorable et d'humiliation tel qu'il était alors couramment pratiqué au Moyen Âge après un siège, un acte d'héroïsme de bourgeois sauvant la ville de la destruction.
C'est une des douze éditions originales que l'on peut voir dans le parc du domaine de Mariemont.

The Burghers of Calais is a statuary group by Auguste Rodin commissioned by the city of Calais where the first example in bronze was inaugurated in 1895. It is one of Rodin's most famous works which left an important artistic posterity. Definitively, there are twelve original editions in bronze of the Burghers of Calais.
This work represents six characters (Eustache de Saint Pierre, Jacques and Pierre de Wissant, Jean de Fiennes, Andrieu d'Andres and Jean d'Aire), victims of a surrender ritual imposed by King Edward III of England in August 1347. It symbolizes the sacrifice of these six men to save the lives of all the inhabitants of the city about to be conquered by the English. Rodin participates in the enterprise of mythologizing this historical episode, making a banal ritual of capitulation, honorable amends and humiliation such as it was then commonly practiced in the Middle Ages after a siege, an act of heroism. of bourgeois saving the city from destruction.
This is one of the twelve original editions that can be seen in the park du domaine de Mariemont.

ENGLISH
Lund University (Swedish: Lunds universitet) is a public university, consistently ranking among the world's top 100 universities. The university, located in the city of Lund in the province of Scania, Sweden, traces its roots back to 1425, when a Franciscan studium generale was founded in Lund next to the Lund Cathedral, making it the oldest institution of higher education in Scandinavia. After Sweden won Scania from Denmark in the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde, the university was founded in 1666 on the location of the old studium generale next to Lund Cathedral.
Lund University has eight faculties, with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 42,000 students in 302 different programmes and 2,046 freestanding courses. The University has some 600 partner universities in over 70 countries and it belongs to the League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network.
Two major facilities for materials research are in Lund University: MAX IV, which is a world-leading[peacock term] synchrotron radiation laboratory – inaugurated in June 2016, and European Spallation Source (ESS), a new European facility that will provide up to 100 times brighter neutron beams than existing facilities today, to be opened in 2023.
The university centers on the Lundagård park adjacent to the Lund Cathedral, with various departments spread in different locations in town, but mostly concentrated in a belt stretching north from the park connecting to the university hospital area and continuing out to the northeastern periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Faculty of Engineering.
Lund University library was established in 1668 at the same time as the university and is one of Sweden's oldest and largest libraries. Since 1698 it has received legal deposit copies of everything printed in the country. Today six Swedish libraries receive legal deposit copies, but only Lund and the Royal Library in Stockholm are required to keep everything for posterity. Swedish imprints make up half of the collections, which amount to 170,000 linear metres of shelving (2006). The library serves 620,000 loans per year, the staff is 200 full-time equivalents, and the 33 branch libraries house 2600 reading room desks. The current main building at Helgonabacken opened in 1907. Before that, the old building was Liberiet close to the city's cathedral. Liberiet was built as a library in the 15th century, but now serves as a cafe.

ESPAÑOL
La Universidad de Lund (en sueco Lunds universitet) es una de las más antiguas y prestigiosas universidades del norte de Europa y consistentemente es considerada dentro de las 100 mejores universidades del mundo. Sus orígenes se remontan al año 1425 cuando un Studium Generale franciscano fue fundado a un costado de la Catedral de Lund, lo que la convertiría en la institución de educación superior más antigua de Escandinavia, seguida por las studia generalia de Upsala en 1477 y Copenhague en 1479. Sin embargo la universidad en su forma actual no fue fundada sino hasta 1666, después de que Suecia adquiriera la región de Escania en 1658 tras el acuerdo de paz firmado con Dinamarca.
La Universidad de Lund cuenta con ocho facultades y dos campuses externos ubicados en las ciudades de Malmö and Helsingborg, con una población estudiantil de alrededor de 42.000 estudiantes distribuidos en 276 programas y alrededor de 2.200 cursos. La universidad mantiene acuerdos y relaciones internacionales con cerca de 600 otras universidades en más de 70 países y pertenece a la Liga de Universidades de Investigación Europeas así como a la red global Universitas 21.
Dos importantes instalaciones para la investigación en materiales se ubican en la Universidad de Lund: MAX IV, que se estima será un laboratorio de radiación sincrotrónica líder a nivel mundial y la Fuente Europea de Neutrones por Espalación (ESS), una instalación de la Comunidad Europea que alojará la fuente de neutrones más poderosa del mundo.
La casa central de la universidad y sus edificios más tradicionales se concentran alrededor del parque Lundagård (adyacente a la Catedral de Lund), con departamentos repartidos en diferentes ubicaciones de la ciudad pero que en su mayoría se ubican en una franja que va desde el parque hacia el norte, conectando con la zona del hospital universitario y continuando hasta el campus de la Facultad de Ingeniería en la periferia noreste de la ciudad.
A sudden spring snow squall came in like a whirlwind of frenzy,
just two days after a couple of sunny, springlike 68° days, giving me the opportunity to make this capture of a very low contrast snowfall scene in the western woods of our very own backyard.
Also, providing proof that, in the mountains, as in many other parts of the world, weather is extremely fickle, and can change on a dime. Wouldn't you also, if you were fickle? Just to break up the boredom of rather routine days? Sure you would.
Sometimes, when you're quarantined from a pandemic virus, you're lucky to be at home to witness such a thing and, shortly after witnessing it, grabbing a photo of it to record it for posterity.
Such was the case on this day, when a sudden early springtime
snowfall turned ponderosa trees and their frosted branches into an attractive abstract reality, a contradiction in terms, but true.

A view from the cab of a class 56 showing Toton Depot entrance. The prominent 20s are 20021 and 20082.
This was the day of Colaville's annual Open Day where we also managed visits to Northampton, Barrow Hill, Tinsley, here at Toton (complete with Depot pass), Rugby and Oxford. A huge day's driving (living as we do in Portsmouth) undertaken by Pete, but with memories like these secured for posterity, surely worth the effort.
20021 was withdrawn on the 8th March 1991, taken to MC Metals in Glasgow and cut-up during February 1992. RIP.
20082 fared little better. She was taken from traffic on the 23rd July 1993 and also met her fate in Glasgow During March 1995. RIP.
The second thing I saw on my walk around the forest today was an extremely random shoe hanging on a branch over a swamp. It was very strange as there was nobody else around, no people or cars... the shoe had just been left there.
While perhaps not being a spectacular photograph, it was a very unusual sight and I therefore felt obliged to document it for posterity. :)
After wrapping up the 60 mile chase of the southbound manifest as told here: flic.kr/p/2mrmrLx I hiked out, met the guys and we started north. We hadn't been driving five minutes when this passed us headed south seemingly right on our freight's block.
We decided to turn around and try for one shot just for posterity though with CP power we weren't interested in chasing plus we had a long drive back north. We found an open spot at the NW County Road 4002 crossing at about MP 67 which would be as far south as we'd see of the Pittsburg Sub. While this is an otherwise unremarkable image I wanted to capture the 'clutter' became of the whimsical addition some maintainer has added to the signal bungalow!
As for the train this is the OKCCPPA 28 with Canadian crude handed off by the CP in Kansas City destined for the Texas TPC Group refinery in Port Neches led by a boring 15 yr old red dip gevo.

I cleaned out my drawers and cabinets in the bathroom yesterday, which have been accumulating stuff since I was in junior high. It was a huge mess. But at least I found my favorite marble.
A lot of people who do Project 365 like to post a song of the day, or at least something that goes along with the photo. I can't promise to do it every day, but if I'm listening to something while shooting or editing, I guess I can put it down here for posterity.
Today while editing I listened to the Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto by composers Chen Gang and He Zhanhao.
Day 052 of Project 365.
When attending my first Great Central Railway (GCR) Winter Steam Gala in January 2010, my visit also allowed access to their Loughborough Motive Power Depot and Locomotive Workshops.
Then, pictured above, LMSR Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 No 45305 was still undergoing its latest major overhaul - still with its boiler removed. It successfully returned to service nine months later in October 2010.
5305 was built by Armstrong-Whitworth of Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1936 and survived to the last month of steam of British Railways[BR] (then numbered 45305) in August 1968. It was then sold to scrap merchants Albert Draper and Sons of Hull, who broke up 742 former BR locomotives. 45305 was to have been their 743rd and last but the scrapyard owner Albert Draper decided to save one of the yard's locos for posterity and have it restored to full running order. 45305 was chosen simply because it was the cleanest!
It's still like it now!
45305 is still owned by the Draper Family, but is now cared for by the 5305 Locomotive Association with GCR being its heritage railway base.
This collage is another fine example showing the considerable amount of excellent work undertaken by the highly skilled team between the January 2010 and October 2021.
When pictured bottom on Saturday 23rd October 2021, despite the inclement weather, this then 'Resplendent Locomotive' certainly brightened up the gloom when entering Rothley with the Ex 11.15am Loughborough Central to Leicester North passenger service during its last weekend working before its latest withdrawal.
I very much hope I will see this fine locomotive run once again during my lifetime!
Les Bourgeois de Calais est un groupe statuaire d'Auguste Rodin commandé par la ville de Calais où a été inauguré le premier exemplaire en bronze en 1895. C’est une des œuvres les plus célèbres de Rodin qui a laissé une postérité artistique importante. De manière définitive, il existe douze éditions originales en bronze des Bourgeois de Calais.
Cette œuvre représente six personnages (Eustache de Saint Pierre, Jacques et Pierre de Wissant, Jean de Fiennes, Andrieu d'Andres et Jean d'Aire), victimes d'un rituel de reddition imposé par le roi d'Angleterre Édouard III en août 1347. Elle symbolise le sacrifice de ces six hommes pour laisser la vie sauve à l’ensemble des habitants de la ville sur le point d'être conquise par les Anglais. Rodin participe à l'entreprise de mythification de cet épisode historique, faisant d'un banal rituel de capitulation, d'amende honorable et d'humiliation tel qu'il était alors couramment pratiqué au Moyen Âge après un siège, un acte d'héroïsme de bourgeois sauvant la ville de la destruction.
C'est une des douze éditions originales que l'on peut voir dans le parc du domaine de Mariemont.

Careful what you wish for, it might not be as ideal as you think.
My entry for Round 2 of the 2022 Bio-Cup, the theme being Numerals. My subtheme was the number 1, which took much agonizing over before I settled on referencing the song "Everything at Once" by Lenka. Thanks to the judges pulling a few strings I was able to take pictures later, after putting it all back together for the 8th or 9th time in a row.
Thanks to Luterem for the picture touchups.
In the interests of posterity, this was my original submission picture, titled "The One that Got Away"

Following on from the last picture with DB hiring GBRF 92 032 due to low class 92 availability ,66 078 is seen less than a mile into its journey with an 0B34 light engine move to get three failed 92s to Crewe for repair over the weekend and back to Dollands Moor ASAP. Seen here at Sandling on a 0B34 1406 to Wembley Yd is 66 078 hauling 92 036,019 and 92 015 . Left behind to hold the fort on Tunnel and HS1 services were 92 011 & 041 with hired in GBRF 92 032. Technically a bad picture with the light all wrong but still worth recording for posterity.
This artwork (including the bicycle) appeared in Nottingham in mid October. I went along to take a photo of it about two weeks later, and there was a steady stream of people and families doing the same.
