Redcar railway station is the most inconvenient ever; it is never clear whether your Transpennine is going to come into Platform 1 or 2; there is no parking on platform 2 side, and the only way from 1 to 2 is up a lot of steps, over a bridge and down steps on the other side, a nuisance when you have heavy luggage.Every time we went to the ticket office to make enquiries, it was shut. There are signs up that the station is to be renovated. Meanwhile, on platform 2 side, you can look at the portraits of local people in the arches.

Another shot from my journey to Florida.
I know it is a bit late, but my good bud Jordan Voth was showing me a cool new PS trick and I HAD to try it out!
I threw my own little twist on it, so let me know what you think!
p.s. I already notice her hand is cut off =/ I'm quite sad about it, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.

WASHINGTON NC: An old building in the old city of Washington NC. Known affectionately as "Little Washington" by so many in North Carolina, the local residents are a bit sensitive about this nickname pointing out that Washington NC existed before Washington DC, or BIG Washington. Consequently, the townsfolk refer to their town as "The ORIGINAL Washington."
OK, I checked on the dates each city was founded. Sure enough, "Little Washington" was founded in 1776 while, uh, the other one was founded in 1790.
Built in 1874 during the Gold Rush era that saw Wandiligong's population swell to its largest number, the Manchester Unity hall would have been a focal point for some of the townsfolk. Built of red brick with stone detailing, the hall's parapet featuring the date plaque features some elegant scroll work. The hall is remarkably intact and still has its original supper room below the stage at the rear of the building on the lower level. The hall represents the activities of Friendly Societies in country towns during the Victorian era.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
cranked the red,yellow,orange ok for slider Sunday and found the blue slide to the left gave the black an interesting look.had to crank it back right just enough to get back the one blue windowpane.yes that's insulation behind the glass. HSS! ( -: A big thank you to all that comment and fave my pic. I appreciate it!!! :- ) A big HWW for the Window Wednesday group also.
I love those old red-brick churches, in contrast to the green on the surrounding cemetery. Here, the trunk and branches of a birch tree gave me a great frame.

The Strathspey Railway operates from platform 3 of Network Rail's Aviemore railway station. Until 1998 the railway's southern terminus was Aviemore Speyside about 300 yards (270 m) further north. Aviemore Speyside is no longer in regular use, although its platform has been retained as a fallback in case of problems with access to the Network Rail station. Coaling of the steam locomotives is carried out at a facility constructed in 2014 on the site of the former Aviemore Speyside station building. Its signal box, which was formerly at Garve West and transported from there in 1986, was retained when the station itself shut. New features are gradually being brought into service at the Aviemore site controlled using traditional British Railways mechanical semaphore signalling.
From Aviemore, the line passes the four-road locomotive shed which was constructed by the Highland Railway in 1898. The original purpose of the shed was to house locomotives for the lines to Perth and Inverness (via Carrbridge and Forres). It was common for original Highland Railway engines to be allocated to the shed and in London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) days it housed Stanier Black Fives, Pickersgill Bogies (Caledonian Railway), Caley 439 tanks, Caley 812 classes, and Fairburn tanks. In British Railways days the shed was allocated the shed code '60B'. These days the engines that are in traffic on the Strathspey Railway still bear the 60B shedplate on their smokebox. The shed has a 60-foot (18 m) turntable, originally from Kyle of Lochalsh.
There is also a carriage maintenance shed which was erected and opened for use in 2005; this shed allows the railway's volunteers and staff to work on its fleet of coaches indoors. On the opposite side of the line is a three road carriage storage shed erected and opened in 2011; this allows the coaches to be stored under cover and protected from the weather.
The former engine crew hostel, called Spey Lodge, stands just to the north. This building was erected by the LMS during the Second World War to provide railway crews with a safe and cheap option for accommodation whilst rostered to work locally. The British Railways Staff Association For Scotland then took it on to provide holiday accommodation for railway staff and their families. It was saved by the Strathspey Railway Company during the 1970s and gradually the facilities have been upgraded by volunteers. Spey Lodge now fulfils its original role again, providing hostel accommodation for engine crews and other volunteers working on the railway.
After Spey Lodge, the railway passes the site of the new Aviemore Hospital then crosses Dalfaber level crossing, an Automatic Open Crossing, Locally Monitored (AOCL). This level crossing was not originally part of the railway, but was installed after the development of the Dalfaber Estate in the 1980s. After crossing the road and passing the Cairngorm Brewery the line climbs through Granish Moor. This heather moor affords views of Cairngorm Mountain and the line runs parallel to the Speyside Way, a popular walking and cycling route. Once into the forest at the north end of the moor, the line descends past Boat of Garten golf course and into the village of Boat of Garten itself.

The dock was opened in 1852. It was named after the road it runs alongside and which also gave its name to the Wapping Tunnel.
The large brick warehouse built in 1856 along the eastern side of the dock was designed by Jesse Hartley. The building is of a similar architectural style to the warehouses surrounding the nearby Albert Dock. When originally built, it was 232 m (254 yd)long and consisted of five separate sections.Bombed in the May Blitz of 1941, the badly damaged southernmost section was not rebuilt, with only the supporting cast iron columns remaining in situ. The remainder of the building continued in commercial use, even after the dock closed in 1972. The warehouse was restored and converted into residential apartments in 1988 and is Grade II* listed.
Architect: Christopher Dodd, 1983. Clubhouse extension in the likeness of a Martello Tower. The Hove Deepsea Angling Club has been at this location since it was formed in 1909. Western Esplanade, Hove, City of Brighton & Hove, UK.
