My favourite rose; a Heritage Rose, raised by Joseph Rambaux and still producing flowers. Now fully open and looking beautiful in winter sunshine! This is from the fourth flowering period and has gradually been opening since the beginning of November! Wonderful fragrance!
The slide mount has this dated 24th of April 1974, so this shot of Atlantean 163 is now depicting a GMPTE vehicle, and will shortly gain its new fleetnumber of 3307.

This shot illustrates how smaller plants that are tolerant of bare or near bare rock conditions fill in first and provide organic matter to build soil that can support trees like these aspen.

Douglas C-47A Skytrain (DC3 Dakota) N47TF painted in a retro Pacific Southwest Airlines scheme, at the Planes of Fame Air Museum Chino Airport California, she was stripped of this scheme the following year in preparation for restoring to flying condition, believed to be ongoing in 2021. Built in 1944 for the USAAF AS 42-92509 later transferred to the RAF as KG320 1944-46 thereafter to the RCAF.
The period between the First World War and WWII is so distant that it's doubtful many people think about passenger air travel during those decades. If they do, what comes to mind are scary-looking wooden and canvas biplanes held together by a maze of guy wires.
If my father was dreading many noisy, bumpy and nerve-wracking hours on one of those all the way to Miami while on his way to the airfield at Rio in early 1943, he would have been delighted to see one of Pan Am's Boeing S-307 Strato-Clippers waiting on the apron for its lucky passengers.
Above, Pan American's three Boeing S-307s are parked together for an undated publicity shot. The one that carried my father is in the center, bearing registration number NC19910. There's some confusion as to whether it was Clipper Flying Cloud or Clipper Comet. Wikipedia isn't sure.
The Boeing S-307 story is too long to fit here but it doesn't need to, since Wikipedia has all the facts a person could possibly want about this pioneering airliner. Simply saying that it was pressurized with four engines mounted on a wing that was below the body doesn't begin to do it justice.
It's a shame Father wasn't as interested in aircraft as I am, because I would have loved to hear his impressions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner (or Strato-Clipper in Pan American service, or C-75 in USAAF service) is an American stressed-skin four-engine low-wing tailwheel monoplane airliner derived from the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, which entered commercial service in July 1940.
It was the first airliner in revenue service with a pressurized cabin, which with supercharged engines, allowed it to cruise above the weather.
As such it represented a major advance over contemporaries, with a cruising speed of 220 mph (350 km/h) at 20,000 ft (6,100 m) compared to the Douglas DC-3s 160 mph (260 km/h), at 8,000 ft (2,400 m) then in service.
When it entered commercial service it had had a crew of five to six, including two pilots, a flight engineer, two flight attendants and an optional navigator, and had a capacity for 33 passengers, which later modifications increased, first to 38, and eventually to 60.
/ / /
The noted industrial designer Raymond Loewy designed the passenger cabin, with furnishings provided by Marshall Field's.
It was divided into four compartments, each with six deep comfortable reclining chairs which could be converted into 16 sleeping berths.
Each compartment was provided with adjustable air conditioning vents, reading lights, and a call button.
Nine additional seats were provided along the port side of the aircraft, while washrooms which doubled as dressing rooms were provided at both ends of the cabin.
The rear washroom was for women and was named the "ladies charm room", which aside from the walls being covered in heavy plate glass mirrors, in its 34 sq ft (3.2 m2) it two dressing tables, each with a sink, plush upholstered stools, soft indirect lighting provided by fluorescent lamps, ashtrays, hot and cold running water, shelves with towels, and a separate cubicle was provided for the toilet.
The men's washroom was in front as the "Men's Lounge", and also had a separate cubicle for the toilet, and two sinks, along with outlets to run an electric razor.
A somewhat cramped galley of 28 sq ft (2.6 m2) provided hot food was situated at the rear of the cabin, behind which was positioned the rear hemispherical pressure bulkhead.
Up to 412 cu ft (11.7 m3) or 6,590 lb (2,990 kg) of baggage could be stowed under the floor of the cabin, between the wing spars, and behind the rear spar, which was accessible in flight through a hatch in the cabin floor, or on the ground through three hatches on the underside of the fuselage.
Extensive use was made of the latest in sound proofing, and the Dynafocal engine shock mounts were designed to reduce vibrations from being felt by the passengers.
The air conditioning system used both electrical and mechanical systems, which drew air in through vents in leading edge of each wing near the roots to bring outside air to two engine driven superchargers that compressed the air, which was then passed through radiator condensers to cool the air, and it was then run through channels to the vents in the cabin.
External hookups allowed ground air conditioner units to cool the cabin air when the engines were off.

In 1937 Pan American Airways placed their first order for two Stratoliners, which they soon increased to six. Deliveries to Pan Am started in March 1940, and they had received their first three before war intervened and civil aircraft production halted. The other three would not be built. All three were named for historically notable Clipper ships. Pan Am carried out their first revenue flight on July 4, 1940, with service between Miami, Brownsville, Texas and Los Angeles. Unlike TWA, Pan Am did not exclusively assign their aircraft to specific routes, and instead they were used for their Latin American routes and ranged from Miami and Los Angeles to Brazil.

After a period of about 2 months I felt the urge to be Clare for the evening. During that period I chose not to go to the effort of applying makeup, choosing an outfit and the tidying up after this untidy lady in my life, usually the morning after.
This was starting to worry me as dressing twice a week would be about the norm. I have resisted the urge to purge outfits as is often the case once I take a break.
To put on this dress I have to climb in through the neck opening and manipulate my arms in to the sleeves as I am unable to zip the dress up in the normal fashion.

Blind Jack sitting on a bench, with a surveyor's wheel, facing the pub named after him.
John Metcalf (1717–1810), also known as Blind Jack of Knaresborough or Blind Jack Metcalf, was the first professional road builder to emerge during the Industrial Revolution.
Blind from the age of six, John had an eventful life, which was well documented by his own account just before his death. In the period 1765 to 1792 he built about 180 miles (290 km) of turnpike road, mainly in the north of England.
In 1765 Parliament passed an act authorising the creation of turnpike trusts to build new toll funded roads in the Knaresborough area. There were few people with road-building experience and John seized the opportunity, building on his practical experience as a carrier.
He won a contract to build a three-mile section of road between Minskip and Ferrensby on a new road from Harrogate to Boroughbridge. He explored the section of countryside alone and worked out the most practical route.
Metcalf built roads in Lancashire, Derbyshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire, including roads between:
Knaresborough and Wetherby
Wakefield, Huddersfield and Saddleworth (via the Standedge pass)
Bury and Blackburn with a branch to Accrington
Skipton, Colne and Burnley
Metcalf believed a good road should have good foundations, be well drained and have a smooth convex surface to allow rainwater to drain quickly into ditches at the side. He understood the importance of good drainage, knowing it was rain that caused most problems on the roads. He worked out a way to build a road across a bog using a series of rafts made from ling (a type of heather) and furze (gorse) tied in bundles as foundations. This established his reputation as a road builder since other engineers had believed it could not be done.
He acquired a mastery of his trade with his own method of calculating costs and materials, which he could never successfully explain to others.
Competition from canals eventually cut into his profits and he retired in 1792 to live with a daughter and her husband at Spofforth in Yorkshire. Throughout his career he built 180 miles of road. At 77 he walked to York, where he related a detailed account of his life to a publisher.
Blind Jack of Knaresborough died aged 92 on 26 April 1810, at his home in Spofforth. He is buried in the churchyard of All Saints' Church, Spofforth.

Well, my school's cumulative final period is officially over, and my M1919s came in the mail two days ago. So, without further ado, I proudly present to you (finally as the time allowed) my Higgins torpedo boat of the United States Navy from World War II! Man, this was such a ride. Agreeably it's very slightly short of how it should be scaled in 1:35th, and I do need to order some proper propellers for the thing... but man, for refusing to go to Bricklink this whole process, I think it turned out pretty nicely! It's equipped with two rooms (well three if you count the white door in the bunk room that leads to the tiny bathroom LOL), one equipped with living space and the other being the sunken bridge. Of course, I have torpedo canisters on there, simulated primarily large wheel inserts, along with some two by two round plates/bricks. As for the gunnery, the M1919s are in their proper place, and I even approximated a heavy anti-aircraft gun at the stern. The hull itself is actually very sturdy and approximated with slopes at its bow. Speaking of which, the red underside, holding a lot of the boat together, has three simulated driveshafts with their propellers (again, still need to order some actual specified boat propellers that LEGO molds as one element), and two rudders surrounding them for steering of course. All in all, this was just a phenomenal build. I thank all the people who have contributed with constructive criticism and compliments on its previous posts depicting its progress, and tried to meet as many demands as possible, while, however, refusing to order from Bricklink! Man, what a challenge... but I think I am satisfied with it for now. It might go into a big airfield display I plan on doing at some point down the line, hint hint (:. Anyways, that's pretty much it for my Higgins PT-Boat... I'll be working on a lot of LEGO now that school has quieted down. Peace out!
Noticed this attractive lady and her pleasant new(?) husband on a day trip to Broughty Castle, Dundee.
The period of good weather is about to end in a few days so I headed west to some new locations. This is Restormel just to the east of Lostwithiel where the line curves towards the station running pretty much north west to south east giving an opportunity for afternoon shots. This is the 2C68 11.42 Plymouth - Penzance with 43198 leading and 43097 on the rear.
The talaiots are Bronze Age megaliths on the islands of Mallorca and Menorca (two of the Balearic Islands) forming part of the Talaiotic Culture or Talaiotic Period. They date back to the late second millennium and early first millennium BC. The Talaiot shown in this picture is located in Son Serra (Santa Margalida - Mallorca).

Wooden platforms on the UK national network are a rare feature and the survival of wooden boards on this Platform 8 at Brighton is particularly noteworthy at such a key station. On 5th September 2019, Southern "Coastway" Class 313/2 313205 had just arrived, the 2L39 14:53 from Lewes. The Class 313s commenced operations with Southern on 23rd May 2010 causing some controversy because of their age and lack of toilet facilities. Providing services on the "Coastway" lines, they were at the time the oldest electric multiple units still in regular use on Network Rail lines.

Edo Period architecture still lives. One just needs to know where to go looking for it.
This was taken in the old Tōkaidō town of Arimatsu,which is now a part of Nagoya. Arimatsu somehow escaped serious quake, fire and WW2 bombing damage. The area was famous for its tie-dyeing during the Edo Period and lots of hand-made tie-dyed goods can still be found for sale here. Don't expect to find any Grateful Dead t-shirts, though.
