St Matthew's is the Anglican parish church in the village of Salford Priors in Warwickshire. There has been a church on the site since the Norman conquest and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086.
The prior image in my Photostream depicts 1804 as it appears today, working for the East Penn Railroad. Here we'll take a look back at 1804 prior to being sold by the Susquehanna.
The early 90s was the golden age of passenger excursions on the NYS&W. One such excursion was this Mountaineer Limited which was appropriately sponsored by the New York Ontario & Western Historical Society. A pair of classic Susquehanna GP18s led the long excursion consist, which included at least two dome cars. The excursion is seen performing a photo run-by at Beaver Lake, NJ. 1804 carried a pair of white "O&W" flags on the front railings to mark the occasion.

Prior to establishing the nation's capital in Washington, D.C., the United States Congress and its predecessors had met in Philadelphia (Independence Hall and Congress Hall), New York City (Federal Hall), and a number of other locations (Maryland State House in Annapolis, Maryland, Nassau Hall in Princeton, New Jersey).[2] In September 1774, the First Continental Congress brought together delegates from the colonies in Philadelphia, followed by the Second Continental Congress, which met from May 1775 to March 1781.
This building was occupied for many years by Detroit's Children's Museum, was purchased recently and will be converted into a museum of Greek Culture in Detroit.
Robert Scherer, in 1933, founded a corporation to produce these soft gelatin capsules. This firm rapidly became the world's leader in this industry, and eventually had plants in 12 countries. Robert Scherer, a graduate of the city's public schools, is among Detroit's most productive inventors. Prior to his death in 1960, he obtained 52 patents. His innovative machine is now in the Smithsonian in Washington.
Turning around after taking the prior shot I grabbed this going away view off the same overpass.
Inbound Keolis/MBTA shuttle train 1974 from Fall River to East Taunton with six bi levels shoved by MPI HSP46 2035 hustles north in this view looking north off the New Street overpass above new Weaver interlocking on the Fall River Secondary at MP FS 9.4 which controls access to the new Weavers Cove layover facility and Cashman siding at left which hasn't served any freight customers in decades. The vacant plot of land along the tidal waters of the Taunton River was once a Shell Oil tank farm which closed in the 1990s.
This rail route into the city of Fall River opened in 1846 and saw continuous passenger service under the auspices of the Fall River Railroad and then the Old Colony system until the latter was folded into the New Haven Railroad in 1893. The NH continued daily service to Boston until September 1958 when all passenger service ended to south of Middleboro including to the famed whaling port of New Bedford. In June of 1959 Middleboro lost service along with the other former Old Colony branches to Plymouth and Greenbush. Commuter service returned to Middleboro and Plymouth in 1997 and Geeenbush a decade later but the extension south had to wait until now.

Occhei, Enne E Esse Elle I..
Che cos'è la ragione? L'ordine naturale delle cose che si estende su un chiaro piano di priorità o l'ostinato muovere del proprio respiro verso il monte.. delle vertigini.
Vorrei una vita come la tua,
andare in giro con l'autista,
vorrei aver scritto quella poesia, esser ricordato come artista, vorrei amare milioni di donne ed essere amato da tutte loro, vorrei capire se davvero un uomo non è il suo lavoro.
Rompo le catene, mi perdo nel mondo, parto per il viaggio so che non ritornerò, non lo farò.
Qualunque sia la via, qualunque viaggio sia, qualunque mia follia, mia follia, mia follia e non è colpa mia, se tutto vola via, qualunque mia bugia, mia bugia, mia bugia.
Vorrei esser amico di tutti, e tutti amici miei ma dopo un ora passata insieme, giuro che li ucciderei, vorrei la domestica e la cuoca, il giardiniere, piante di coca, vorrei più soldi la tua casa al mare e la tua toyota, non sono cento passi è meglio che ti rilassi, questo tempo non vuol proprio smetter di fermarsi, di fermarsi.
Qualunque sia la via, qualunque viaggio sia, qualunque mia follia, mia follia, mia follia e non è colpa mia, se tutto vola via, qualunque mia bugia, mia bugia, mia bugia.
Vorrei la tua carta oro e tutti i tuoi conti in banca, vorrei la neve ad agosto e la città tutta bianca, vorrei tornare bambino sempre negli anni 80 mentre scrivo ciò che vorrei dalla vita su un foglio di carta, vorrei tutto ciò che mi manca, tutto quello che non mi appartiene, tutto quello che viene da luoghi lontani, tutto ciò che non si vede, non si vede.
Qualunque sia la via, qualunque viaggio sia, qualunque mia follia, mia follia, mia follia e non è colpa mia, se tutto vola via, qualunque mia bugia, mia bugia, mia bugia.

Non è il turno di piangersi addosso, non ora, ora ci alziamo se siamo a terra, ora corriamo se abbiamo imparato a camminare, ora non si grida al cielo e basta, ora il cielo ci ascolterà perchè lo faremo tremare, con le nostre voci quindi fatevi sentire, ovunque voi siate urlate fino a liberarvi, alzate il volume della musica perchè è la musica che ci libererà, scordatevi tutto per un momento.

QUI SI PIANGE SOLO DI GIOIA PER AVERCELA FATTA.
NON MUORE MAI QUELLO CHE SEI, NON MUORE MAI LA TUA PAROLA.
Hai presente il tempo? Che ci trasforma, adesso che sei grande, come da piccolo era la tua ombra.
I made a mad dash in my car (slowing to avoid a flock of moorland sheep in the road) to reach a decent location before the colours faded. The sky was glorious, like a painting. It intensified for the 5 minutes I was there and then it was gone. It's been a while since I have seen such a beautiful sky. I had only just commented to a friend that it is rare that I see one living on the east of moors..and then this happened.
This was the best shot of the day and I was grateful once again to have my Tokina 12-24mm wide angle with me.
On Thursday we got caught in an unexpected 'no prior warning' FORCE 8 storm with 35 knots gusts of wind, spent 8 fun hours having fun as a family sailing with the yacht mainly upright on one of its sides.. tacking and gybing.. For about fifteen minutes though when the STORM hit the hardest I had concerns as getting back became treacherous and the ship to shore radio was in constant use.. but it blew away the tears and the cobwebs of losing Polly and my amazing Son got us back to shore safely as Helm along with Hubby and me doing crew duties controlling the Ocean winches, Main Sails and Gyb and sharing Helm to give Luke duty relief.. we then came back into land to be greeted by a beautiful Sunset and calm sea
Prior to being presented to the Judges at the sheep show in Tiernaur, Mulranny, County Mayo, this Ram was getting his final make-over and having his fleece gently patted into place! One does, after all, wish to look ones best on such occasions!
The first Bridgeton covered bridge was a double-span Burr Arch bridge built in 1868 by a crew led by J. J. Daniels. It was closed to traffic in 1967. It was built to replace two prior open wooden bridges that had fallen in. After its destruction by fire, it was replaced in 2006 by a reproduction.
First bridge
About 1823, Kockwood and Silliman built the first mill, in the location that would develop a bad reputation and often be referred to as "Sodom", on Big Raccoon Creek. Later, in an attempt to change the town's reputation, the town would become Bridgeton after the earlier bridge. The first mill was owned by Oniel and Wasson and later be bought by James Searing. From 1850 to 1860, James A. Rea would run the mill. In 1862, the mill would change hands to Ralph Sprague and burn down in 1869. James Rea would go on to rebuild the mill in 1871, and Joseph Cole would operate it. Daniel Webster bought it in 1882, and sold it to P.T. Winney in 1889. The mill would not change hands again until June 1914, when George Brake and Fred Mitchell purchased it. According to Mr. Brake, the south half of the dam was built in 1913, with the remaining half finished in 1916. The dam is constructed of concrete and is 225 ft (69 m) long and 9 ft (2.7 m) high.
The first bridge to be built was of open design with wood rails and piers. While crossing the first bridge Owen Wimmer and his family were dropped into the mill pond along with their wagon and team when the bridge fell in. J.H. Kerr and others were able to rescue them. A second bridge of similar construction was erected at the same site. This bridge fell in also just after J.H. Kerr had driven cattle across. The covered bridge was then built in 1868, at the same location, just above the mill dam, with the abutments attached to the dam structure.
Three people submitted bids in 1868, for the contract to build the bridge, these bids would include three different styles of bridges. One bid was from a Mr. Epperson using an Howe Plan for $16,000. Wheelock and McCoy submitted two plans, one was to use a Burr Plan for $17,400 and the second using a Smith Plan for $10,200. Ultimately the bid was awarded to J. J. Daniels and his Burr Plan for $10,200. The "Daniels Portals" were to be later squared off and, after the bridge's closing in 1967, to traffic, benches and steps were added at the portals.
The present mill has been converted to run on electric power. Robert Weis and the Weis Milling Company operated the mill until 1995 when it was purchased by Mike Roe. The current owner has restored the mill and produces over 20 different milled products.
The bridge was destroyed by arson on April 28, 2005. Jesse Payne was taken into custody near the Mansfield Covered Bridge a short time later. He is suspected of burning the Jeffries Ford Covered Bridge also and attempted arson of the Mansfield Covered Bridge. Due to his mental state, he is being detained at the Logansport State Hospital until he is found fit to stand trial.
Second bridge
The second Bridgeton covered bridge was built in 2006 by local citizens and the state of Indiana.

Ampelmännchen is the symbol shown on pedestrian signals in Germany. Prior to German reunification in 1989, the two German states had different forms for the Ampelmännchen, with a generic human figure in West Germany, and a generally "male" figure wearing a hat in the East.
This 3.5m tall Giant Ampelmann statue with the inscription ’25 Jahre Deutsche Einheit’ (25 years of German unity) is now visible on the grounds of the Hessische Landesvertretung in Berlin from In den Ministergärten or Ebertstraße.
Jordan 2019 (Jabal al-Qal'a the L-shaped hill is one of the seven jabals (mountains) that originally made up Amman. Evidence of occupation since the pottery Neolithic period has been found. It was inhabited by different peoples and cultures until the time of the Umayyads, after which came a period of decline and for much of the time until 1878 the former city became an abandoned pile of ruins only sporadically used by Bedouin and seasonal farmers. Despite this gap, the Citadel of Amman is considered to be among the world's oldest continuously inhabited places.
*The Temple of Hercules is a historic site in the Amman Citadel. It is to be the most significant Roman structure. According to an inscription the temple was built when Geminius Marcianus was governor of the Province of Arabia (AD 162-166), in the same period as the Roman theater below...)

Have spent part of my afternoon preparing this shot for posting on the net - another one from my series on these delightful falls.
Before posting it, I got up to go out and feed our dog.....................

I spotted this while cycling through the village of Ditton Priors in Shropshire. Unfortunately in 1971 I didn't have an SLR with a wide angle lens so I couldn't get the whole word in my viewfinder.
As I was manoeuvring around, the cottage door opened and instead of telling me to go away the owner said 'would you like to borrow a stepladder' and that is how I got this picture! :-)
Thank you all for commenting and favouring my images it is very much appreciated.
We can't decide on our favourites from here so all five are getting posted! Prior Park is a beautiful oasis of calm very near the centre of Bath. The Palladian bridge is one of only four in the world, three in England and one in Russia.

This shot was taken about 15 minutes prior to the last shot I posted from this location as the tide was steadily making it's way up the beach. By the time I finished shooting, the water was coming up over my tripod and it was time to make a hasty retreat. El Matador is now one of my favorite locations, but between the insane amounts of traffic and the complete and total lack of decent sunsets here in Southern California over the past couple of months, it might be a while before I have another opportunity to shoot up there. Maybe August will be a kinder month to us landscape photographers stuck here in Southern California.
For more photos and tips for shooting from this incredible location, please feel free to check out my new blog post up today on the Resonant Landscape at the link below:

We had taken the 13.00 dining train to Leicester and back with Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48305 and then spent 1 hour 45 mins steam heating the stock in Loughborough station prior to its later use on the Winter Wonderlights trains. Finally at 16.30 we uncoupled, took water and came on shed where we waited for our relief to arrive at 17.00. Cue time to take some night shots.
Prior to the Penn Central merger in 1968, the likelihood of seeing six-axle freight motors in service on New York Central lines was almost non-existent. From M-day forward, there was a drastic change, with six-motor units appearing frequently. This scene shows SD9 #6919, still sporting PRR garb, standing outside the roundhouse at Livernois Yard.

Prior to the invasion of Normandy in June 1944, Lepe was used as a secret manufacturing site. Six massive concrete caissons (type B2 Phoenix breakwaters) were built here and later towed across the English Channel where they formed part of the artificial Mulberry harbours after D-Day. Lepe was also one of the many places on the south coast of England used for the embarkation of troops and equipment for the invasion. Concrete mats like big chocolate blocks were used to reinforce the shingle beach for heavy traffic. Some of these mats can still be seen today along with pier remnants, bollards and various concrete and brick structures.
