The camera saw many examples of buildings like this one in Le Plateau borough - one complete wall cladding removed then covered with the orange spray on material. Our guess - adding insulation to improve energy use for winter heating.
This building looks more like its a tear down.

A capture of the flowers of this new Geum in our garden. A hardy perennial, it flowers every year.
Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into mounds of neat, dense foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.
Geum ‘Savanna Sunset’ is acompact clump-forming perennial to 45cm tall with hairy, mid-green toothed and lobed basal leaves. Reddish stems bear coppery-red flower buds that open to semi-double, lightly-frilled pale apricot flowers deeping to coppery apricot in the centre, from late spring to summer

This is a three photo joiner so a bit distorted. Just to show how open the backyard looks without the trees. More light, airflow and less mosquitos! We had the stumps ground down this morning but in this shot you can see where the trees were. Now we have to put down some topsoil and grass but maybe in the Fall. It's too hot to put grass seeds down now.
Also, I will post when the sliding door is finished.
Too bad we don't heat with wood anymore. I don't know how we are going to get rid of all these logs but I'm sure someone will want them.
1. Very large maple right beside the screened porch.
2. Medium sized maple which impeded the movement to our shed.
3. Tall skinny maple which was leaning over the shed and also had a rotting hole in it.
4. Huge (70') poplar
5.Two V-shaped maples which were in the way of felling the poplar. One side was dead. See previous images.
BIG BONUS.. Think of all the leaves we won't have to rake this fall... yahoo!
Multi-span bridges are structures of two or more arches supported on piers. They were constructed throughout the medieval period for the use of pedestrians and packhorse or vehicular traffic, crossing rivers or streams, often replacing or supplementing earlier fords.
During the early medieval period timber was used, but from the 12th century stone (and later brick) bridges became more common, with the piers sometimes supported by a timber raft. Most stone or brick bridges were constructed with pointed arches, although semicircular and segmental examples are also known. A common medieval feature is the presence of stone ashlar ribs underneath the arch. The bridge abutments and revetting of the river banks also form part of the bridge. Where medieval bridges have been altered in later centuries, original features are sometimes concealed behind later stonework, including remains of earlier timber bridges. The roadway was often originally cobbled or gravelled. The building and maintenance of bridges was frequently carried out by the church and by guilds, although landowners were also required to maintain bridges. From the mid-13th century the right to collect tolls, known as pontage, was granted to many bridges, usually for repairs; for this purpose many urban bridges had houses or chapels on them, and some were fortified with a defensive gateway. Medieval multi-span bridges must have been numerous throughout England, but most have been rebuilt or replaced and less than 200 examples are now known to survive. As a rare monument type largely unaltered, surviving examples and examples that retain significant medieval and post-medieval fabric are considered to be of national importance.
Despite some later alterations and repair work, Aylesford Bridge is a well preserved medieval multi-span bridge. It is a good example of its type and will retain evidence relating to medieval bridge construction and masonry techniques. Deposits buried underneath the bridge will preserve valuable artefactual, ecofactual and environmental evidence, providing information about the human and natural history of the site prior to the construction of the bridge.

This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 15 December 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a medieval multi-span bridge situated over the River Medway at Aylesford.
Aylesford Bridge is constructed of Kentish ragstone with seven arches including a central segmental arch and six pointed and double-chamfered outer arches. The bridge is about 4m wide between the centres of the stone-coped parapet. The end arches are partly buried by the river bank. The stone piers have cutwaters on the upstream and downstream sides on rebuilt concrete foundations. On each side are octagonal and triangular canted pedestrian refuges resting on buttresses over the piers. Below the bridge is a barge-bed constructed from large baulks of timber.
Aylesford Bridge is thought to have been constructed in about the 14th century, and is situated downstream from the probable site of an earlier ford. A grant of pontage was issued in 1331, although it is possible that this relates to a timber predecessor. In about 1824, the two centre arches were replaced by a single arch of 18m span, removing a pier to allow passage for larger river traffic.
Aylesford Bridge is Grade I listed.

I posted a version of this photo previously but something about it bothered me. I blew the moon out in processing in order to accentuate a ray-burst surrounding it. I succeeded in emphasizing the burst, but it just didn't look right.
This version removes most of the ray burst and tames the moon down. I like this better because it now looks unmistakably like a moon rise.

As we approach years end for 2021 this image more or less sums up the state of play on Merseyrail.
Despite deliveries of new Stadler Class 777 EMU's, (to be seen in the distance on shed) non have gone into revenue earning service. Indeed after long protracted negotiations with the unions single operation is not an option and modifications are being made at Crewe for driver & guard operation. Hence the two HNRC 20's (20118 & 20901) on the arrival road which along with other varied traction have been used for the drags under cover of darkness. In the distance the Class 508 involved in the Kirkby incident when it ran through the buffer stops, this has since been removed by road and scrapped.
In the foreground the veteran 507's are still in service and this image illustrates the point that Merseyrail are the only TOC (stand corrected on this) to paint their stock in a different livery on each side.
This thing must be photographed by every tourist who wanders the South Bank to see Big Ben. It is of course the London Eye - basically a massive technologically jazzed up ferris wheel. This shot looks up from below. After all the colour in my previous post, I've removed it from this one - to keep things mixed up and keep you guessing.
Funny thing is that Cloudia from the London Elephant Parade, 2010, had a ride on the Eye.

The C&NW coaling tower in Nelson, IL once witnessed passage of the mighty C&NW steam locomotives that plied what is now Union Pacific's Geneva Subdivision, but now it bears witness to the passage of UP's newest heritage unit, #1943, leading UP's business train sans executives back home to Council Bluffs, IA after a short trip to New York State.

Latin name: Branta sandivensis - Hawaiian Geese or Ne-ne
Taken on our trip to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve in Norfolk.
This is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The official bird of the state of Hawaiʻi, the nene is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, Molokai, and Hawaiʻi.
The Hawaiian name nēnē comes from its soft call. The specific name sandvicensis refers to the Sandwich Islands, an old name for the Hawaiian Islands.
It is thought that the nene evolved from the Canada goose (Branta canadensis), which most likely arrived on the Hawaiian islands about 500,000 years ago, shortly after the island of Hawaiʻi was formed. This ancestor is the progenitor of the nene as well as the prehistoric Giant Hawaiʻi goose and nēnē-nui (Branta hylobadistes). The nēnē-nui was larger than the nene, varied from flightless to flighted depending on the individual, and inhabited the island of Maui. Similar fossil geese found on Oʻahu and Kauaʻi may be of the same species. The Giant Hawaiʻi goose was restricted to the island of Hawaiʻi and measured 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length with a mass of 8.6 kg (19 lb), making it more than four times larger than the nene. It is believed that the herbivorous Giant Hawaiʻi goose occupied the same ecological niche as the goose-like ducks known as moa-nalo, which were not present on the Big Island. Based on mitochondrial DNA found in fossils, all Hawaiian geese, living and dead, are closely related to the giant Canada goose (B. c. maxima) and dusky Canada goose (B. c. occidentalis).
Did you know: Its strong toes have much reduced webbing, an adaptation to the lava flows on which it breeds.

Something I have never thought of photographing before and it was an exciting experience - especially in red and black which are not usually colours I am drawn to! I find the curves are expressive and I feel a little hypnotized with a strange feeling of danger!
There's a definite feeling of rhythm.

The tip tanks have been removed from this Saudi G2. Seen during the 2007 EBACE at Geneva. First seen in 1977.
A couple more from West Pit and this is a JS climbing one of the half dozen lines to the tipping area for the spoil.
Clanking through Kings Norton with an empty coal train is Stanier 2-8-0 48353. The train is about to take the Camp Hill line towards Washwood Heath. All the buildings in the picture have been removed and the centre platform is disused.
48353 was built at Horwich Works and entered traffic in June 1944, it was withdrawn in1967 and cut at Cashmore's January 1968. When photographed it was an 18B Westhouses engine

The Donlands Diner, a neighbourhood staple since 1955, changed ownership sometime ago.
Deeply disappointed when they erased all the 'history' from the original diner's build and replaced it with the usual retro look fittings.
Black and white tiles, gobs of thin chrome and worst of all, removed this small neon from the window.
It was a diamond in the rough, but a diamond all the same.
I found this ladybug on the roof of my car early in the morning. It looked as if she was drinking the dew off of the car so I had to get the shot with my new 105mm macro lens
