Harrington, Washington
Hotel Lincoln is located in Harrington, Washington. It is an historic 1902 hotel and is in the process of rehabilitation. It is on the local, state, and national register of historic places. I grew in the same town and my parents owned a different hotel 1/4 mile away.
Old rail equipment waiting for restoration, or maybe to just be used for parts.
Niles Canyon Railway maintenance facility near Sunol, California.
One thing that always amazes me is seeing these locomotives in person. It's hard to grasp how big they are until you are standing next to them and trying to photograph it!
This unit was restored just a few years later back to it's original paint colors. I'll post a photo I took in the comments below.

I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)

So typical of the ACu rebuilds, both headlights are burned out on CP T-28, the return of the Windsor - Oakwood Yard transfer prepares to enter the Windsor Tunnel in Mexicantown. In the background is the former Michigan Central Depot that is currently undergoing restoration after Ford purchased the wonderful depot. Portions of the depot have already been soda blasted to revive the color of the depot facade.
Ravenswood,
It is 100killometers south of Townsville an old Gold Mining township from around 1902.
These old chairs were awaiting restoration, but for the moment there discarded at the Railway Hotel.
We were pulling out of a small parking area after taking this shot www.flickr.com/photos/17469730@N00/52976731535/in/album-7... when I spotted the top of this building, I needed to investigate and found this lovely scene with these lovely trees and the backdrop of Canola fields and the Cheviot hills in the distance. As we left it rained so heavy I had to pull over. We were far off the beaten track and had found a few compositions in what felt like a remote area .
Carousel Horse Restoration work in progress on this authentic vintage carousel horse found in North Carolina.
“Urban Ecosystem Restoration” mural painted by Millo for Street Art For Mankind
From the Street Art For Mankind instagram post:
It features the artist’s signature clumsy character in a surreal setting, attempting to reclaim his space in an urban jungle that has forgotten our primary needs. It poetically and powerfully underscores the importance of green spaces in urban environments. The character demonstrates the strength of these spaces, their transformative impact on our reality, and how they enhance our well-being. It’s a clear invitation to reconnect with nature in our cities.

I do not look at statistics all that often, but I did recently. I saw that just a couple weeks ago or so I had passed 3 million views. Which gave me pause for reflection. I first joined Flickr in 2007. I did not do anything with it for the first year, but as I started figuring out what it was about, I became more active. Since that time, I have shared 1000 photos.
I have enjoyed my interaction with other photographers from all over the world, loved seeing the world through their eyes. I have learned from their work and from their feedback. Awards groups, something not everyone loves, have functioned like small photo contests and have taught me a great deal. I have made friends with people I have never met in person. While not without its frustrations, Flickr has mostly been a positive experience for me, largely because of the photographers I have encountered and the work they have shared.
So thanks, all of you. Thanks for your interest in my work, your encouragement, and for sharing yourselves as you have courageously posted your own work for me to enjoy and learn from.
Here is another shot taken in the Great Smoky Mountains. The Native Americans know these mountains as a spiritually important place and I have to agree with them. I do not get out as much as I would like, but it restores me when I do. I appreciate having a place to share what I find there. Again, thanks to you all.

I imagine the bill for the scaffolding must have been huge! I hope it is sufficiently protected against the wind as I reckon it must whip over this coast during the winter months
(59/365) Best viewed Large. When we win the Euromillions (positive thinking) we'll buy this half mile long strip of land adjacent to the sea canal at Blennerville, Tralee & restore these old buildings as holiday lets. The only inhabitants right now are few old goats & Starlings (3 on the roof) looking for nest sites. Who wouldn't want to wake up to views of Otters & Cormorants feeding in the canal, huge flocks of Golden Plover wheeling overhead & the haunting cry of Curlew echoing all around. HFF everyone!
Vintage pick-up truck on the street in Leipers Fork TN. Across the street is Fox & Locke, a bar, restaurant and live music venue with a motorcycle oriented crowd. Place was hopping on this warm spring Sunday afternoon.
Grace Harwar,"the last full-rigger afloat", photographed by Allan C. Green in Australia. The 266 ft 7 in ship was built in 1889 by Hamilton & Co (Glasgow) for W. Montgomery in London, and sailed for the original owner until 1913, when she was sold to the Finnish Delfin Company in Helsinki. Three years later the Åland Islands (Finland) shipowner Gustaf Erikson bought Grace Harwar.
My restoration and colorization of the original image in the Victoria State Library archive. No date is given, but the library also has a photo of the crew by Green, including a life buoy with the text "Grace Harwar, Helsingfors" (Helsinki), which could indicate that the picture shown here was shot in 1913 - 1916.
Here is a quote from Georg Kåhre´s book The Last Tall Ships (edited by Basil Greenhill) published by Conway Maritime Press in 1977:
"Grace Harwar was never rerigged as a barque, as were so many other full-riggers. She has been called the last full-rigger afloat, and she deserves this honoured title, if one takes into consideration her world-spanning sailings. In 1935, there were, admittedly, a score of fully-rigged training ships and floating museums left in the world, besides the American Tusitala ex Inveruglas, which was laid up, and Calbuco ex Circe, registered in Chile, and Maipo, owned by a guano company in Peru, which are reported to have sailed with cargo at least occasionally. But Grace Harwar was the only one to carry on the traditions of world-wide commercial deep-water sailing to the very last."
Grace Harwar made her last voyage from Australia to the UK in 1935. On 16 July - 11 days after arrival in the UK - she was towed from London to Charlestown Firth of Forth, to be broken up.
Couldnt begin to count the number of times I've been to Herringfleet, along with hordes of other photographers, but its such a lovely spot it's always worth the walk even if every possible compostion has been shot a thousand times. On last nights visit there was a marsh harrier hunting right by me, so it was worth it just to see that.
Crystal Palace Subway is a beautifully designed and crafted relic of Victorian construction. Hidden under the Crystal Palace Parade it was built to provide access to the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass building originally erected in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. After the exhibition, it was rebuilt in an enlarged form at the top of Sydenham Hill. It proved a popular attraction and stood from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.

This subway is going to be so impressive when it is opened to the public (and all the builder's material is removed :-) ).

The long derelict New York, Ontario and Western (O&W) depot in Middletown, NY is finally being restored after several years of post-fire abandonment. The north tower had to be demolished. The building will provide office space for community services.
The bus mall in Hobart, Tasmania. This is through the scaffolding for the restoration work that is happening to the iconic GPO building.
If you have some spare cash (and lots of it these days) you can restore this house to its former glory. Mind you, whatever it costs to buy this property, you'll have to spend equally as much in the restoration.
P.S. As someone who doesn't own a smart phone and prefers to leave the world behind on my walks, I'm always fascinated to observe that 98% of people can't walk without looking at their device. Perhaps its a fear this world will leave them behind if they do. I look at it the other way. This is merely a world of convenience. The way to peace lies inwards. As C.S. Lewis wrote in the final book of his Narnia Chronicles, "Further up, and further in." That requires reflection, and some inner restoration..

This wonderful little building (1920) stands on the UC Berkeley campus right on the edge of Strawberry Creek, among the tall trees. Designed by John Galen Howard and built entirely of redwood.
Now this little gem has been completely renewed and is clad in beautiful, all-new, California redwood.

Amazingly, those new windows are aluminum-clad.
The original redwood siding remained completely stable for 100 years!! Redwood is an amazing building material. No wonder the original trees of this region were relentlessly cut and utilized over 100 years ago.
