I like the way they are using different colour stone to show the replacement!

Bamburgh Castle is a castle on the northeast coast of England, by the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. It is a Grade I listed building.

 

The site was originally the location of a Celtic Brittonic fort known as Din Guarie and may have been the capital of the kingdom of Bernicia from its foundation in c. 420 to 547. In that latter year, it was captured by King Ida of Bernicia. After passing between the Britons and the Anglo-Saxons three times, the fort came under Anglo-Saxon control in 590. The fort was destroyed by Vikings in 993, and the Normans later built a new castle on the site, which forms the core of the present one. After a revolt in 1095 supported by the castle's owner, it became the property of the English monarch.

 

In the 17th century, financial difficulties led to the castle deteriorating, but it was restored by various owners during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was finally bought by the Victorian era industrialist William Armstrong, who completed its restoration. The castle still belongs to the Armstrong family and is open to the public. Wikipedia

The Greyhound station was built in 1938, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 for its architectural significance. It was restored in 2018 and now used as a venue

Zheravna is a beautifully restored village in the beautiful Stara Planina mountains halfway between the Black Sea and Veliko Turnovo.

The Church of San Nicolás de Bari and San Pedro Mártir has been beautifully restored, revealing a pictorial display that is comparable to the Sistine Chapel. Constructed following the reconquest of Jaume I in 1238. Erected as a parish church around 1242. Between 1690 and 1693, the interior was recoated with Baroque decoration and fresco paintings of scenes of the life of San Nicolás de Bari (Saint Nicholas) and San Pedro Mártir (Saint Peter Martyr), designed by Antonio Palomino and painted by Dionis Vidal.

A truly hidden masterpiece hidden, just as impressionable if not more than the Sistine Chapel. If Michelangelo seen it, guaranteed to put him to tears.

Van der Pekbuurt (neighbourhood).

During the entire renovation of this neighbourhood, the historic appearance of the outside of the houses has been restored. The new wooden doors, windows and frames have the original colours from the 1920s: ocher yellow, dark green and red brown.

 

De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.

 

De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.

 

Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).

No Smoking No Public Restroom

Carew Tidal Mill is the only restored tidal mill in Wales and one of just five in the UK.

 

Documentary evidence exists which shows a mill on this spot as early as 1542. The present building dates from the early 19th century. The Mill, known locally as the ‘French Mill’, possibly because the grinding stones were imported from France, was last used for milling in around 1937.

 

Next to the mill is French Mill House, a Victorian property that served as the miller's house.

 

This 1956 Studebaker Hawk hood, came with a 170hp V8 engine. It could be upgraded to 180hp with the 4 barrel addition. The very talented restoration mechanic named Robert, told me of his passion to work on such vehicles. This piece of perfection sat idol for one year in a garage as it went through its beauty treatment.

 

Considering the Shuswap Car Show was held at an outdoor museum, it seemed appropriate to add a local flavour. So, I combined the rare scoop with the reflection of an old and also restored wooden building.

The'MB' class wasn't with us long. As a small child I remember using these on Routes 235, 242 & 276.

 

The route numbers are used elsewhere today in 2018; the 235 of 1971 has no equivalent, and three routes go over sections of it, the 242 is commercially run on part of the old route in Hertfordshire, and the 276 is almost the 215 today.

close to a well visited museum. If only all Istanbul houses were maintained like these......might be a bit boring though :)

Sporting a "restored" nose logo, BNSF 9653 swings into the curve at Valmont with an empty coal train bound for Wyoming. While its neat to see a BN logo on the nose of an executive mac, this one definitely looks better from a distance.

Afterhour Glow – Grenebi Island illuminated by lasting dusk light off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

 

This captures the last light and colorful tones lingering after sunset, with a faint glow from the rising moon and nearby city lights as summer nightlife begins to take its course. Shot with my Canon 60D when I first experimented with long exposures a few years back, and since reigniting my interest in photography during the pandemic, I restored the details from my smaller original to play with the quality, clarity, and style. The shot features a picturesque view of Grenebi Island, a tiny isolated rock island with a lone lighthouse that sits just off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Enjoy the view!

The Henry J was built by the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation as an affordable, inexpensive car to attract less affluent buyers. Originally sold for no more than $1300 and now selling for about 10 times its original window sticker. That is a nice restored model, not this one.

Pan Am's WA-2 local is returning from East Augusta on this gloomy May day, with GP9 52 just poking out from the Kennebec River bridge spanning the Kennebec between Waterville and Winslow. The veteran GP9 is one of three that normally hold down assignments in the Waterville area, and today, it was paired up with it's Boston & Maine painted counterpart, the 77, to bring three empties back up from Gold Star in Augusta. Looking at the condition of the line these days makes it hard to believe that it was once a fully signaled mainline, but maybe in the future it can be restored to it's former glory.

Life-giving Trinity Church, Mikhaylovka Village, Penza Region, Russia. Built in 1871.

Hadlow Road Station on the Wirral Way footpath between Hooton & Neston Cheshire restored to look and feel at the time of closure in 1956. Opened by the Birkenhead Railway in 1866 later run by the joint GWR & LNWR the original track lasted until 1966 due to BR DMU driver training.

The station incorporates a museum and is looked after by Friends of Hadlow Road Station, the signal box is not the original having been obtained from Hassel Green Northants, devoid of track since 1966 a length was relayed to complete the restoration by 2011.

The waterwheel at Abbey Mill, Tintern in the Wye Valley is the only surviving one of twenty-two originally sited on the River Wye. This wheel built in 1870, was renovated in 2008.

Making its way east on the former Pennsylvania mainline, WLE 7003 rockets through downtown Ada, OH with WE430 for Brewster. Complementing the main event are the town's Pennsylvania depot, and caboose, both lovingly restored.

So continuing with the series featuring one photo of each train in chronological trip order here is the fifteenth train of the trip and the fourth of Day 4. This was also the fourth and last non MRL powered train I'd photograph. An unidentified BNSF manifest rolls west through Billings Yard on MRL's First Subdivision, but the pair of orange GEs are obviously not the focus of this image.

 

BNSF 6989 is a decade old GE ES44C4 and contrasts greatly with number 84, an EMC SW-1 that is 73 years her senior! The little switcher was built by Electro-Motive Corporation and completed June 15, 1939 on OQrder E259 and was originally Chicago, Burlington and Quincy 9139. It later became Burlington Northern 84 until retired by the BN in November 1975. It then spent another decade on the Davenport, Rock Island and Northwestern until coming to Billings Grain Terminal. Now privately owned by friends of mine, getting to see 84 in person was another reason I wanted to make the trek over to Billings. He and his business partners hope to restore her to operation and eventually find a home on a tourist railroad or museum where she can run. To support the effort and learn more check out this link and even buy yourself a shirt, I've got one!

I still live, I’m just more active on Instagram mainly because Flickr, to put it bluntly, is dead as shit.

The engineer and conductor of Maine Northern Railway Train 901-31 converse as they pass the restored station at Oakfield, which is home to the Oakfield Railroad Museum, which is the de facto Bangor and Aroostook museum which is open in the summertime.

 

About 10 cars back a track foreman is keeping a watchful eye as 901-31 crawls over a sun kink on the bridge at the south end of the yard.
