First Manchester 537 (N537 WVR), with only fragments of the original Superbus branding remaining, including a by-then-obsolete GMN logo.
Ashton, Wellington Road, 20/09/1997.
There are several "readings" of this symbol.
7 eyes is a bead of "attention". As the Tibetan simply explained to me, the owner of the bead will be heard, noticed, perceived and remembered.
According to a more common version, the Tibetan dZi bead 7 eyes symbolizes the constellation Ursa Major. The 7 eyes of the Dzi bead represent the 7 stars from this constellation. In Tibet, it is believed that Ursa Major is a manifestation of the seven Buddhas of medicine.
The main task of these seven Buddhas is to free all living beings from diseases of an external and internal nature. The main Buddha of medicine, or the guru of medicine, is depicted with a blue body, which symbolizes wisdom and that he is an emanation of the healing power of all the buddhas. In his left hand he holds a bowl filled with healing nectar, and in his right hand he holds a medicinal plant.
The Buddha of Medicine helps a person to awaken bodily and mental powers that we can use to heal ourselves and help other people. These are not some external forces that help us, this is what is inside us, in our consciousness. These are the dormant forces that can be awakened by meditation, awareness of the moment "now", visualization and other spiritual practices.
When awakened, this inner source exerts tremendous healing power. It opens the reserves of the human body and spirit and is able to most fully reveal the true personal potential of a person. Tibetan dZi bead 7 eyes helps in revealing this inner potential.
Slowly putting them back together after selling off my collection years ago. I don't plan on going all-in. Probably just the Satellite JLA and a couple others. Maybe the Forth World stuff.
Hawkman and Green Lantern are the latest additions here. I have Shazam and Firestorm as well only the Big Red Cheese needs a cape and Firestorm I have to restore a little; his yellow has yellowed...
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

About the place:"Temple of Amrit"
Dating back to the Phoenicians, this site is the remains of the city of Marathus. Marathus was probably founded by the Arvadians, the rulers of the nearby island of Arwad in the 3rd millennium BC. It flourished economically as a mainland religious center and a trading city.
Most of the remaining buildings date back to Persian rule in the 6th century BC, although it is evident that there is Mesopotamian and Egyptian influence in the architecture. It was captured by Alexander the Great in 333BC, and the main religious temple which was dedicated to the God of Melqart, was assimilated to the God Hercules. Around this temple is an artificial lake and a spring which was said to have healing powers.
It lost its importance in the 2nd century AD, under the Romans, who preferred Antaradus (Tartous). Tartous on the Mediterranean had better access to large ships.
Also found on this site is a stadium on the other side of the Amrit river (Nahr al Amrit) which dates back to the Hellenistic period. A necropolis which has two towers, which are named by the locals as Maghazel (spindles). Both towers are cylindrical and one is 7 meters high while the other is 4 meters. The first has uncompleted sculptures of lions on the base, which reflects the Persians. Further away is another funeral monument called Burj al Bezzaq (tower of the snail). It is a cube topped by a cornice, which used to end with a pyramid.

66720 powers away from a check at Grindleford with empty wagons for Peak Forest, train 6H10, the 10:20 off Bletchley, May the 10th 2023.
Taffs Well to Pontypridd Walk. Less than half a mile from Taffs Well there are cottages on both sides of the line and which were very close to the track.
This Rhymney Railway line was opened throughout from Rhymney for freight on 25 February 1858 and to passengers on 31 March. It joined the Taff Vale Railway at Walnut Tree Junction, Taffs Well, with the RR having running powers onwards to Cardiff. As cordial relations between the RR and TVR began to sour, the former decided to build a direct line into Cardiff, the route via Caerphilly Tunnel being opened on 1 April 1871.
From then on the old route became freight only, mostly with coal trains from the Rhymney Valley. The first two miles or so to Penrhos Junction became known as the 'Big Hill' due to the continuous 1 in 47 grade, although fortunately most of the trains facing the climb were of empty coal wagons being returned to collieries in the Rhymney Valley.
By the early 1980s traffic was well on the decline and it was considered that all could be handled via Heath Junction, and little traffic had passed via Taffs Well for some time before the section to Penrhos Junction and on to Aber Junction was taken out of use on 21 June 1982. That was not quite the end as a railtour, the Monmouthshire Railway Society's Rod Mill Rattler, made a trip up the 'Big Hill' on 23 October that year. After that, the track was left in place for some time in case there were problems via Heath, so lifting did not start until 1984.

One of the first of the Huron Alco's that I seen after there move to Green Bay/Escanaba areas was RS11 4251. It seemed to make a home on the Antoine-Powers job and was able to be spotted most mornings working east with what freight that could be assembled from the Iron Mountain area to connect with the Green Bay-Escanaba trains at Powers. Its arrived at Powers and the brakeman is riding the steps in preparation to bailing off to get a switch.

43007 passes Westhouses with a northbound Inter City Cross Country service, diverted from Derby via Toton and the Erewash Valley due to a problem on the Ambergate line.
It is passing the former Tibshelf sidings, with the rusty remaining single line that was last used by trains from Silverhill colliery, which closed October 1992.
43007 had recently been transferred from B.R. Inter City Great Western to Cross Country at this time, and became one of the celebrity powers cars towards the end of Cross Country HST's and was painted in B.R. Inter City 125 yellow & blue.
It worked the farewell rail tour to Swanage (along with 43008) in September 2023.
It was exported to Mexico in February 2024.

Real Name: Unknown
Powers/Abilities: Possibly immortal and is in charge of a ruthless gang based in Gotham. Is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter.
File: LDM or "Lord Death Man" as he is called is a ruthless, violent gang leader that operates in Gotham city and once Bludhaven. He leads the Bone Gang, a group of violent and bloodthirsty individuals who's main purpose is to "spread death." They have or tried to bomb hospitals, schools, homeless shelters, etc. They have hijacked school buses and ambulances in an attempt to acquire more victims. The gang members and LDM himself have said they have no restrictions on the age or gender of who they kill. The gang also once fought Red Hood (leading to LDM being shot and killed) and once tried to bomb a police station in Bludhaven to no avail (as most of its members were on Blockbuster's payroll). LDM also claims to be immortal after finding a haunted Japanese temple when he was supposedly apart of the Yakuza. This has not been confirmed and while LDM has been killed multiple times their have been discrepancies in his height, size, and accent (he has spoken with many accents other than American or Japanese despite claiming to be a former Yakuza who immigrated to the states). Whether or not he is immortal he or all of those who have pretended to be him have been excellent fighters and strategists. However their knowledge has been limited due to their goal of just killing without mercy. ////// Hope you guys liked this post. I'm gonna start doing posts similar to Crazy Jake's C-lister posts which include backstorys as these always seemed fun to write.
To mark the end of crew operations (driver and conductor) at Catford garage, the powers that be very generously let this RM and preserved RT1702 out on a variety of routes for the final few days. RM2046 and RT1702 were both used in service on Route 75 (9th), 47 (10th), 185 (11th), 54 (12th) and the 36B on the 13th March - the final day of crew operations.
As I took time out at Shoreditch for photographs of star player RM2046 working for one day only on Route 47, the driver of RT1702 obliged by offering me a side-by-side comparison view of the 1930s/40s RT design and the 'futuristic' 1950s Routemaster :)
I had travelled up from Catford on RM2046 on the outward journey, and was looking forward to the return ride back to Lewisham. The Routemaster was looking very smart on the day, and became SELKENT's last operational Routemaster.
RT1702 was looking quite immaculate considering its 40+ years on the road! Interestingly, the bus was allocated to Catford (TL) garage from 1966 to its withdrawal in 1972. It was also one of the buses that took part in a pre-Festival of Britain tour of Europe.

As an aside, Catford garage (TL) was one of the original garages operated by Thomas Tilling:
TL - Tilling Lewisham, TC - Tilling Croydon, TB - Tilling Bromley survived into London Transport days.
Catford garage was opened on 11th May 1914 and was not very old when requisitioned for the war effort. It did not re-open until 1920 when Thomas Tilling's Lewisham operation moved there due to space constraints at his other garage.
Thomas Tilling gained an agreement in 1923 to double the size of Catford and in addition the roof has been raised twice, first in 1930 to enable double deck buses to use the garage and again in 1948 to accommodate AEC Regent III RTs. The garage was modernised again in 1970.

One of the best greasy spoons in the world!
Also, this was the first HDR I ever did.
If you've grown up, lived, or worked in Fort Wayne in the last 65 or so years, chances are you've eaten at Powers Hamburgers. And if that's the case, chances are you liked it. Powers is the epitome of a "greasy spoon" as far as diners are concerned, and has the killer food to back that up.
The menu? Simple and unchanged for decades: Small, handmade, ground chuck burgers cooked to order on a flattop grill before your very eyes. Get them with cheese, grilled onion, mustard, and ketchup if you like. They're served steaming on lightly toasted Aunt Millie's dinner rolls made right up the street at Perfection Bakeries. And you always get a fresh plate of food because no table in the place is more than 15 feet from the grill.
Growing up I had the privilege of going to Powers from time to time with my family. Eating downtown at places like Powers, Coney Island, Bill's Palace, the Tiny Tim Diner, and Cindy's was a regular treat and a very fond childhood memory of mine. Since then I've tried out White Castle, and to be perfectly honest, I just don't get what all the White Castle hype is about. Anyone who's ever had a Powerburger knows they're in a whole different league.
Recently I heard of talk of demolishing Powers with regard to the ongoing "Harrison Square" stadium project. Rumor has it a later phase of the master plan shows it as an empty grass lot. This is all innuendo of course, and as such may or may not actually be true. But as I sat and thought about it, Fort Wayne losing Powers is tantamount to an encyclopedia losing a whole letter-volume.
I really hope this city, with its emphasis on "Downtown Improvement", doesn't lose sight of its rich history in places like Powers. Downtown Improvement is more than just tearing down old stuff and building new. They would do the community a tremendous disservice by forcing the closure of this downtown institution all because a few tenants in some posh new condos don't like to look over a diner.
I submit that Powers is as "Fort Wayne" as Don Halls, the Old Fort, the Roller Dome, the Perfection Bakeries sign, Freimann Square, and the statue of Anthony Wayne himself. I've eaten at that counter with people from every walk of life: politicians, pastors, prostitutes, media faces, cops, criminals, rich businessmen, bag ladies, and railroad vagrants. Black, white, Latino, rich, poor, old, young, gay, straight, drunk, sober, high, angry, nice, republican, democrat, Christian, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, pagan... As far as eateries go, Powers is more than little morsels of heaven on a platter.
It is the Great Equalizer of its patrons.
Powers Rocks.

The whole time I was growing up in Quinnesec we had a pair of Antoine - Green Bay freights, trains 936 and 937. Something wasn't right when I heard a westbound late morning on this day so I headed for the tracks to investigate. Turns out that trains 936-937 were now running out of Escanaba and we were now being served by a daily except Sunday Powers turn out of Antoine seen here westbound at Quinnesec with the 822-1485 on September 1, 1978.

Album: Powers Of Two
powers of two is something called empathetic mimicry
by twoblackcats
Walking alongside the Rochdale Canal approaching the Grade II Listed Woodhouse Mill Bridge and the Grade II* Listed Woodhouse Mill, in Todmorden, Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
The Rochdale is a broad canal because its locks are wide enough to allow vessels of 14 feet width. The canal runs for 32 miles (51 km) across the Pennines from the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield Basin in Manchester to join the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire. As built, the canal had 92 locks. Whilst the traditional lock numbering has been retained on all restored locks, and on the relocated locks, the canal now has 91. Locks 3 and 4 have been replaced with a single deep lock, Tuel Lane Lock, which is numbered 3/4.
The Rochdale Canal was conceived in 1776, when a group of 48 men from Rochdale raised £237 and commissioned James Brindley to conduct a survey of possible routes between Sowerby Bridge and Manchester. Brindley proposed a route similar to the one built, and another more expensive route via Bury. Further progress was not made until 1791, when John Rennie was asked to make a new survey in June, and two months later to make surveys for branches to Rochdale, Oldham and to a limeworks near Todmorden. Rennie at the time had no experience of building canals.
The promoters, unsure as to whether to build a wide or a narrow canal, postponed the decision until an Act of Parliament had been obtained. The first attempt to obtain an act was made in 1792, but was opposed by mill owners, concerned about water supply. Rennie proposed using steam pumping engines, three in Yorkshire, eight in Lancashire, and one on the Burnley Branch, but the mill owners argued that 59 mills would be affected by the scheme, resulting in unemployment, and the bill was defeated. In September 1792, William Crosley and John Longbotham surveyed the area in an attempt to find locations for reservoirs which would not affect water supplies to the mills. A second bill was presented to Parliament, for a canal which would have a 3,000-yard (2,700 m) tunnel and 11 reservoirs. Again the bill was defeated, this time by one vote. The promoters, in an attempt to understand the mill owners' position, asked William Jessop to survey the parts of the proposed canal that were causing most concern. Jessop gave evidence to the Parliamentary committee, and on 4 April 1794 an act was obtained which created the Rochdale Canal Company and authorised construction.
Rennie's estimated cost in the second bill was £291,000, and the company was empowered to raise the money by issuing shares, with powers to raise a further £100,000 if required. The estimate was for a narrow canal, whereas the act authorised a broad canal, and so the capital was never going to be adequate. The summit tunnel was abandoned in favour of 14 additional locks saving £20,000. Jessop proposed constructing each lock with a drop of 10 feet (3.0 m), resulting in efficient use of water and the need to manufacture only one size of lock gate.
The canal opened in stages as sections were completed, with the Rochdale Branch the first in 1798 and further sections in 1799. The bottom nine locks opened in 1800 and boats using the Ashton Canal could reach Manchester. Officially, the canal opened in 1804, but construction work continued for more three years. A 1.5-mile (2.4 km) branch from Heywood to Castleton opened in 1834.
Apart from a short profitable section in Manchester linking the Bridgewater and Ashton Canals, most of the length was closed in 1952 when an act of parliament was obtained to ban public navigation. The last complete journey had taken place in 1937, and by the mid 1960s the remainder was almost unusable. Construction of the M62 motorway in the late 1960s took no account of the canal, cutting it in two.
When an Act of Parliament was sought in 1965, to authorise the abandonment of the canal, the Inland Waterways Association petitioned against it, and when it was finally passed, it contained a clause that ensured the owners would maintain it until the adjacent Ashton Canal was abandoned. Discussion of the relative merits of restoring the canal or the Huddersfield Narrow Canal in 1973 led the formation of societies to promote both schemes in 1974. The Rochdale Canal Society wanted to see the canal fully re-opened, as part of a proposed Pennine Park
The Rochdale Canal Society worked hard both to protect the line of the canal and to begin the process of refurbishing it. A new organisational structure was created in 1984, with the formation of the Rochdale Canal Trust Ltd, who leased the canal from the owning company. The MSC-funded restoration was approaching Sowerby Bridge, where planners were proposing a tunnel and deep lock to negotiate a difficult road junction at Tuel Lane, so that a connection could be made with the Calder and Hebble Navigation. The entire eastern section from Sowerby Bridge to the summit at Longlees was open by 1990, although it remained isolated from the canal network.
In 1997, the Rochdale Canal Trust was restructured, in response to announcements that there might be large grants available as part of the millennium celebrations. The canal was still at this point owned by a private company, and the Millennium Commission would not make grants to a scheme which was for private profit, rather than public benefit. The restructuring would allow the Trust to take over responsibility for the canal from the Rochdale Canal Company. However, the plan was rejected by the Commission, and in order to access the grant of £11.3 million, the Waterways Trust took over ownership of the canal. As restoration proceeded, boats could travel further and further west, and the restoration of the sections through Failsworth and Ancoats were a significant part of the re-development of the north Manchester districts. The restored sections joined up with the section in Manchester below the Ashton Canal junction, which had never been closed, and on 1 July 2002 the canal was open for navigation along its entire length.

The historic Powers Building in downtown Rochester, NY.
Powers Building is a historic office building located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It was built in 1869 and is a nine story, 165-by-171-foot (50 by 52 m) building, laid out around a large open stairwell in the center. It features a triple mansard roof and observation tower which were added after initial construction, between 1873 to 1888, by Daniel Powers to maintain its standing as the tallest building in Rochester. It was designed by noted Rochester architect Andrew Jackson Warner.
As we do art we always use the powers within our selfs. So lets push them as far as we can. Have a nice powerful weekend.

Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.
