Wegen der unterirdischen Zuverlässigkeit der Baureihe RS1 des Betriebshofes Kempten sollten die störungsanfälligen Schienenbusse Ende Oktober durch die Baureihe 642 ersetzt werden. Da diese normalerweise die PESA LINK im Außerfern ersetzten, musste man drei Einheiten aus anderen Betriebshöfen holen. Daher waren kurzzeitig 642.125 von der Westfrankenbahn, sowie 642.077 und 642.213 um Kempten unterwegs. Während 642.077 und 213 gleich nach Mittelschwaben gelangten, verbrachte 642.125 ihre Zeit zwischen Kempten und Pfronten. Hier erreich besagter Zug mit dem RB57817 gleich Nesselwang.
Gerüchten nach sollen hier ab dem kommenden Fahrplanwechsel die LINKs den Betrieb übernehmen. Nun, angesichts ihrer geringen Zuverlässigkeit, man kann gespannt sein, wie lange es bis zu der x-ten Rückkehr der Baureihe 642 ins Außerfern dauert…
Due to the extremely low reliability of the RS1 series from the Kempten depot, the trouble-prone rail buses were to be replaced by the 642 series at the end of October. However, sine these normally replace the PESA LINKs in the Außerfern, three additional units had been borrowed from another depots. Besides 642.077 and 213, 642.125, which belongs to the depot Schöllkrippen and is used to be run on the so-called Kahlgrundbahn between Hanau and Schöllkrippen, were also in duty around Kempten. While 642.077 and 213 were dispatched straight to the line Günzburg - Mindelheim, 642.125 were mostly used on between Kempten and Pfronten. On the very first day in November, this set is about the reach Nesselwang.
As of December, the Polish-built PESA LINK units are said to take over the operation on this section. Well, considering their low reliability, I am already wondering how long it takes until the Desiros return to the line for the umpteenth time...

St Christopher Wren's masterpiece was built between 1675 and 1710 and replaced the earlier medieval cathedral which had been damaged in the Great Fire of London.
The huge dome has been a familiar landmark on the London skyline over the centuries. In World War Two many of the buildings surrounding the cathedral were completely destroyed during the Blitz, however St Paul's survived mostly intact and became a symbol of hope.
The Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer took place in the cathedral in 1981, as did the funeral of Margaret Thatcher in 2013.
Many important figures from British history are buried in the crypt including Horatio Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Christopher Wren, Florence Nightingale and JMW Turner.

About the photograph.
Am y llum
The photograph was taken from the footpath between the Amis Reunis boat and the Observatory Tower on the southern part of the village, right next to the River Dwyryd, and looking toward north.
In the photograph, the tall building is known as the Bell Tower, and parts of the buildings to the right of the photo is known as The Watch House. In the background, you could see The Dome.
About Portmeirion.
Portmeirion is a tourist and historical coastal village located on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, about 2 miles south east of Porthmadog, in North Wales, and owned by a charitable trust.
Some of the buildings already existed around the middle of the 1800s, such as the hotel, along with Castell Deudraeth.
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the chief architect bought most of the buildings. Between 1925 and 1975, he designed, built, and improved the area into an exquisite village, in the style of a Mediterranean feel.
It had since become a most popular tourist location, and often used as on-location filming site for various television shows.
Nowadays, most of the buildings are used as hotels or self-catering cottages, while tourists have a day-out looking around.
About the television show called The Prisoner.
Ynglŷn â'r sioe deledu o'r enw The Prisoner.
The Prisoner is a 1967 British television series about an unnamed British agent who chose to resign from Intelligence services.
In the series, he was imprisoned in a mysterious retirement village at a secret location. Although the village was used for retired secret agents, he was placed there because his superiors and bosses wanted to know why he chose to resign.
In the show, his name was never used, and he was referred to as ”Number Six, as everyone else were given numerical codenames. The mysterious village was overseen by an administrator whom was often referred as Number Two.
Number Six was played by the actor Patrick McGoohan, whom also created the show, as well as writing and directing some of the episodes. He played the main character in 16 out of the 17 episodes. Only played his character in a minor role in one episode, because at that time, he took time off from The Prisoner, to attend a filming of a movie.
In each episodes, different actors played Number Two, and each tried their own attempts to get Number Six to reveal his reasons for resigning. This was often done by means of tricks, drugging, brainwashing, identity theft, and so on.
The usual plot of each episode would have Number Two attempting to use their own means, bring Number Six close to the breaking point, where Six could finally reveal his reasons, but often in the end, Number Six often saw through the attempts, and rebuffed the attempts.
Portmeirion was used as a stand-in filming location for the mysterious village due to its unique style.

WS64 SM15WCO seen at Enfield, Willow Road working on route 456 towards Edmonton, North Middlesex Hospital.
The route 456 commenced operation on 2021.03.13 (after a couple of pushbacks i.e. originally starting 2020.10.17, then said 2021.02.06).
The route replaced the Monday-Saturday hourly route W10 from Crews Hill, Golf Ride to Enfield Town, Cecil Road. From there it is extended southbound to Edmonton, North Middlesex University Hospital serving Winchmore Hill as well as previously unserved areas such as Church Hill and Firs Lane.
It also gives Crews Hill area an all day service (except late evenings) as well as a Sunday service.
A dilapidated lighthouse looks upon the confederation bridge, which connects Prince Edward Island with the mainland. Since the construction of the bridge, sea travel is no longer the only means of reaching the island, and lighthouses like this one have lost their purpose.
Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.
Construction began in 1787 at the directive of George Washington, and was completed on January 10, 1791, using a fund of $1,500, established by him. Whale oil lamps were originally used for illumination. In 1855, following formation of the Lighthouse Board, a fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed; that lens was replaced by a second-order Fresnel lens, which was replaced later by an aerobeacon in 1958. That lens was updated with a DCB-224 aerobeacon in 1991 (Wikipedia.)

I've been going through my Skye files and reprocessing a lot of stuff that I did too hastily in the first place, replacing some that already exists on flickr in the process Also lots that I never got round too.
More than anything it brings back the memories of the trip.
These small lochs were on the road from Broadford to Armadale.
I have two Paperbark Maples in front of my house, they were somewhat newly planted when I moved into this house 15 years ago, they had replaced some very old ailing trees, their peeling bark does create interesting effects. They did grow large enough to provide much needed shade for my garden in the afternoons.
Squirrels feed on its seeds in the Fall. I like seeing wildlife feeding as long as they leave certain things alone :) which they don't. There has been a pear frenzy in the back yard, just from neighbors pear tree slightly extending into my garden. Which I will tell another time.

Coastal command and control bunker for coastal artillery lower NY harbor used during WW 1 & 2, replaced by Minuteman missiles in 1960. The coastal artillery had a range of six miles guarded by 16-inch guns. During the 1930's a complement of torpedo patrol planes was also housed here guarding the entrance to NY Harbor. The area was known as Miller Field and is now part of the Gateway National Recreational Area.
Expired/Discontinued Kodak Professional T400 CN Film (Process C-41)/Canonet QL-17 G-III
Well friends, the Canonet QL-17 G-III I purchased as a gift for my sister came back from Camera Techs looking almost as good as new.
Chuck, the technician that worked on this camera did an amazing job. Whatever old foam was left on the camera had turned--with the years and lack of use-- into a black sticky tar that threatened with dislodging and spreading around the guts of the camera, lens, etc.
Prior to taking the Canonet in, I tried to remove as much of the gooey matter as possible with a paper towel wrapped index finger, loaded a roll and shot it to see how much light was leaking through. You can see the shots on this Canonet set (about 7 shots prior to this one). It was really bad.
In any case, this is the first roll shot post-repair. Tested at all speeds and apertures for the past two days (this photo was taken around 11am this morning, on my way to Matt's at the Market for lunch with friends) and developed about an hour ago at Rite-Aid in White Center. All photos, ALL 24 frames came out.
Tomorrow the camera will be sent--along with a brand new Domke Gripper strap I got at Glazer's and a rubberized hooded UV filter (found on eBay, to double up as lens protection)--to my sister all the way to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Before I send the camera to Giselle I'll take a photo of the foam job to share with fellow Canonet lovers and anyone here in Seattle who's been thinking of replacing the foam on a vintage camera such as this one. It is fantastic what skilled hands can do with great little cameras that have been abandoned and forgotten for years and deserve to be used and enjoyed.
Gissy, get ready. You are going to love your camera. ;D
This replaces an earlier posting: a Rock Island SW1 (537) heads an eastbound local over Santa Fe Ave. In a little more than three years I'd work for two months as a switchman out of Harter Yard, to which this crew is probably headed to tie up. We had two jobs that headed west out of Harter in the morning, went by here and past Union Station, and then worked industries to the west of downtown OKC. The "West Yard" headed into an area that contained spurs off of what must have been the Rock's original mainline through OKC, before Union Station was built in 1931. The "OK Rail" went further west and then switched into a spur that went north to NW39th Street, and then headed east along 39th to industries including a lumber yard. I never asked about the origin of the name "OK Rail", but it appears from what I can find that those tracks were along the remains of the Oklahoma Railway, an interurban that had a pretty extensive reach in central Oklahoma into the '30s. And that nifty little Nash "Rambler" was an attempt by the Kenosha (Wisconsin) based auto manufacturer to break into - or more likely to INVENT - the compact car market. I believe this is about a 1950-model, and like many other older cars down there it was in great shape - no road salt in use.

Italia - Pisa - Baptisterio
********
ENGLISH
The Pisa Baptistery of St. John is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical building in Pisa, Italy, it is the largest one in Italy. Construction started in 1152 to replace an older baptistery, and when it was completed in 1363, it became the second building, in chronological order, in the Piazza dei Miracoli, near the Duomo di Pisa and the cathedral's free-standing campanile, the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The baptistery was designed by Diotisalvi, whose signature can be read on two pillars inside the building, with the date 1153.
Constructed on the same unstable sand as the tower and cathedral, the Baptistery leans 0.6 degrees toward the cathedral. Originally the shape of the Baptistery, according to the project by Diotisalvi, was different. It was perhaps similar to the church of Holy Sepulchre in Pisa, with its pyramidal roof. After the death of the architect, Nicola Pisano continued the work, changing the style to the more modern Gothic one. Also an external roof was added giving the shape of a cupola. As a side effect of the two roofs, the pyramidal inner one and the domed external one, the interior is acoustically perfect, making of that space a resonating chamber.
The exterior of the dome is clad with lead sheets on its east side (facing the cathedral) and red tiles on its west side (facing the sea), giving a half grey and half red appearance from the south

ESPAÑOL
El Baptisterio de Pisa, dedicado a San Juan el Bautista, está frente a la catedral en el extremo occidental de la Piazza dei Miracoli. Es el mayor de Italia y el baptisterio independiente más reconocido del mundo.
El redondo edificio románico comenzó a construirse en 1152, en sustitución de un antiguo baptisterio más pequeño que estaba situado donde se ubica el camposanto, y se concluyó en 1363. Se inauguró en el mes de agosto según lo que reza la inscripción: MCLIII Mense August fundata fuit haec («En el mes de agosto de 1153 fue aquí fundada...»
Fue el segundo edificio de la plaza en erigirse después de la catedral y antes de la torre. Se construyó en estilo románico por un arquitecto conocido como Deustesalvet («Diostesalve»), quien trabajó también en la iglesia del Santo Sepulcro en la ciudad. Su nombre está mencionado en un pilar interior, como Diotosalvi magister. La construcción, sin embargo, no terminó hasta el siglo XIV, cuando la loggia, la planta superior y la cúpula fueron añadidos en estilo gótico por Nicola y Giovanni Pisano y Cellino di Nese.
Cimentada sobre el mismo suelo arenoso que la torre, el baptisterio está inclinado 0,6 grados hacia la catedral.

Replaced after a few alterations.
Having spent as cold a bivouac as I can remember, a series of warming up exercises were necessary in order not to become totally ineffective at operating a camera. Star jumps, press ups, shadow boxing & other random rapid movements restored blood flow & saw off any pesky sheep intent on 'photo-bombing' Angle Tarn. Even the ravens were eyeing me suspiciously.

The Oystercatcher
The Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Great view of Downtown Montreal from that belvedere.
Mount Royal (French: mont Royal, IPA: [mɔ̃ ʁwajal]) is a hill in the city of Montreal, immediately west of downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the city to which it gave its name.
The hill is part of the Monteregian Hills situated between the Laurentians and the Appalachians. It gave its Latin name, Mons Regius, to the Monteregian chain.
The hill consists of three peaks: Colline de la Croix (or Mont Royal proper) at 233 m (764 ft), Colline d'Outremont (or Mount Murray, in the borough of Outremont) at 211 m (692 ft), and Westmount Summit at 201 m (659 ft) elevation above mean sea level.
The park contains two belvederes, the more prominent of which is the Kondiaronk Belvedere, a semicircular plaza with a chalet, overlooking downtown Montreal. Built in 1906, it is named for the Petun chief Kondiaronk, whose influence led to a major peace accord between the French, Iroquois and other First Nations in 1701. As of 2009, the Kondiaronk chalet's snack bar is being shuttered, with plans to replace it with healthier fare.
Other features of the park are Beaver Lake, a small artificial lake; a short ski slope; cross-country skiing trails; a sculpture garden; and Smith House, an interpretive centre. At the foot of the hill, overlooking Park Avenue, the park features George-Étienne Cartier Monument, home to the Tam Tams, and a gazebo which has been recently named in honour of Mordecai Richler.
The lush forest was badly damaged both by mayor Drapeau’s morality cuts (to remove any opportunity for people to have sex in the bushes) of the mid-1950s and by the Ice Storm of 1998, but has since largely recovered. The forest is a green jewel rising above downtown Montreal, and is known for its beautiful autumn foliage as well as extensive hiking and cross-country ski trails. Biking is restricted to the main gravel roads. (Wikipedia)
