After a reversal at Maryport, 56113 eases through Parton with the 6Z87 08:38 Workington Docks to Drigg BNF. Stockpiled from local quarries, the aggregates conveyed in this short term flow were used not just for construction purposes but also for the capping of storage vaults at Drigg Low-Level Waste Repository, near to Drigg village. The site is the UK's central long-term storage facility for low-level radioactive waste. Although Colas operated, the trips utilised blue JNA-T wagons hired in from Cappagh / DC Rail.

The sense of the sublime is not only the root of creative human activities; many of the things humans beings create are also sublime; words that “are a repository of the spirit,” that call forth “ideas unheard of, meanings not fully realized before”; songs that carry our souls “to heights which utterable meanings can never reach,” to “the world of unutterable meanings”, music that is “an attempt to convey that which is within our reach but beyond our grasp” and that “endows us with moments in which the sense of the ineffable becomes alive” noble deeds, mitsvot, that “lead us to wells of emergent meaning, to experiences which are full of hidden brilliance of the holy” and evoke in us “the awareness of living in the neighborhood of God.”
-John C. Merkle, The Genesis of Faith-The Depth Theology of Abraham Joshua Heschel
A lot of dilapidated country barns hold one man's junk and another man's treasure as evidenced by this failing structure that serves as a parking spot for an old pickup and a cream separator and if you dared to venture further there is probably more items inside. Older people hold memories of how things were in the past and the wise younger person quietly draws them out.

"The Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in France, 48 acres in extent, is sited on a plateau 100 feet above the Moselle River in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. It contains the graves of 5,254 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the campaigns across northeastern France to the Rhine River and beyond into Germany. The cemetery was established in October 1944 by the 46th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company of the U.S. Seventh Army as it drove northward from southern France through the Rhone Valley into Germany. The cemetery became the repository for the fatalities in the bitter fighting through the Saverne Gap, and in defense of Allied positions in the Vosges region, during the winter of 1944-1945."

There are containers similar to this one dotted all over the country and this is where all your used Thoughts and forgotten Memories go when they leave your consciousness. They peel away from you and quickly find their way to one of these repositories, where they wait a while just-in-case you might need them again soon.
After a suitable amount of time, all of the Memories are separated out, labelled and sent to a nearby underground storage bunker, while the Thoughts are piped to smaller, porous containers where they are allowed to dissipate naturally into the aether. When appropriate, the stored Memories of the recently deceased are processed and released to join the Thoughts in said fifth element.

The telephone box is no longer functioning, but is kept in position for its decorative and historical value. There are plans for it to be the repository for a defibrillator, as it is in a central area, so it will once again be a valued resource for the village.
Fairchild Garden is a repository for endangered plants from Madagascar. Without the garden's help, these extraordinary beauties would disappear from the Earth.
To meet the needs of these strange spiny visitors, Fairchild gardeners have modified the soil and mounded up tons of small stones to enhance drainage here in the tropics where we get many times more rain than in their native land.
Euphorbia viguieri grows in a single column form covered with medium-sized thorns that are thick at the base and get finer toward the end. They are white and sometimes serrated, making this one of the most dangerous-looking Euphorbias. The column is broader toward the top and may spiral slightly as it grows. The body is five to six sided and may have leaf scars from previous seasons' foliage. It can grow nearly 3 feet tall.
The tubular flowers are spectacular sunset colors in hues of orange, yellow and scarlet. Blooms are produced after a rainy period and are small flowers, measuring less than 1 inch. The flowers do not last long but do attract several pollinating insects with their sweet nectar. Euphorbia viguieri doesn't produce branches, so the flowers spring right from the body of the plant. The flowers open when the heat of the day is over or first thing in the morning and then close when the sun is at its peak.
Euphorbia viguieri goes dormant in the winter and loses its leaves. It will produce a new set in late spring and flower in summer. Many Euphorbia species only have spines and no leaves, but E. viguieri produces both. The leaves are lightly veined and simple, oval in shape and a lighter green than the body. The leaves can grow from 1 to 7 inches long. Extreme drought will also cause the plant to lose its leaves as a protective measure to prevent moisture loss.
Euphorbia viguieri thrives in nutrient-poor areas and is one of the few Euphorbia that may be found in mountainous regions where it tolerates excesses of water. It is also found in scrubland and open woodlands in western to southern Madagascar. The plant does best in an unglazed clay container as a house plant or can be part of a xeriscape garden.

Xylocopa (Latreille, 1802) in my garden. La Ceja, Colombia.
The species of the genus Xylocopa are big bees, robust, hairy, with coloration from black to blue or metallic green in females and yellow in males of many species.
The name “carpenter bees” is mainly associated to Xylocopini, because they excavate their galleries within hard and usually dead wood, excepting the palearctic subgenus Proxylocopa.
They arepolilectic bees, that is, they visit a great variety of plants. Their provisions consist of a compact and dry mixture of pollen.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik_Conscience_Heritage_Library:
The Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library (Dutch: Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience) is the repository library of the city of Antwerp. It is named after the Flemish writer Hendrik Conscience, whose statue adorns the library. The library conserves books and magazines to keep them available permanently.
The history of the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library, which was called the City Library until 2008, goes back to 1481. The collection contains more than one million books. The primary collection areas are Dutch literature, history of the Netherlands, early printed books (pre-1830), Flemish folk culture, art in the Netherlands, and works about Antwerp ("Antverpiensia").
The history of the Sodality, the impressive building on the Hendrik Conscienceplein, dates from the seventeenth century. After the Carolus Borromeuskerk was built in 1621, the Jesuits founded different fraternities, called sodalities. For these sodalities, a two-storey building was erected opposite the church. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773, the building was used for all sorts of activities, including as a bar and as a ballroom. On the wall at the Wijngaardstraat you can still read the old name "Café Moortgat".
In 1879 the City of Antwerp bought the building, which was still called the Sodality, to accommodate the City Library. The city council renovated the building drastically. On 13 August 1883, the new library building opened and the bronze statue of Hendrik Conscience at the entrance was revealed. The building then offered shelter to both the City Library and the People's Library, which was reached through a separate entrance on the corner of Wijngaardstraat. After several years, the Sodality became too small for the growing library collections and in 1895, the People's Library moved to Blinde Straat.
The City Library could now use the entire space of the Sodality, but after some time it was necessary to expand even further, towards the old Jesuit convent. In this convent, the reading room, offices and three floors of stacks opened in 1936. In the Sodality, two additional floors of stacks were realized, plus the Nottebohmzaal.

37 612 and 37 606 head 7C20 07.56 Sellafield to Drigg Low Level Waste Repository Sidings having just left Sellafield. Certainly wasn't sure I had chosen the correct spot for this working and as, the much longer than usual, train approached I did wonder if it was going to fit. Thankfully it did with a little extra room for perspective correction. I did breathe a sigh of relief.

Glossy dragon in Pisa
This uses one of Paul Debevec's new high-res envirnonment maps (recently uploaded to his website) for lighting.
The glossiness is near the upper limit of what is usable with my renderer before noise due to lack of importance sampling becomes too obvious.
Note that the color of the dragon is actually a neutral grey, but there's a very warm orange light coming from behind!
