Semi-finished state. The policromía was literally falling off the image. The restorer has taken almost 7 months of filling in the mising parts and stabilizing them. This Cristo belongs to the Calvario tableau.
*Manual Restore*
Have you ever accidentally deleted a memory card before getting the photos off? I have…once. It was about two years ago. I was out camping and headed out one evening for some shots. I took some long exposures of a nearby river, stream, and forest. I was all over the place. A couple days later I was heading out for another shoot and I popped the same memory card in from my camping trip. I thought for sure I had downloaded them so I deleted them. Well, I hadn’t downloaded them. I guess I could have run a retrieval program but by the time I had realized it it was too late. I had already filled up the memory card with some new shots. Fast forward two years and I was back at the same campground last weekend. I remembered most of the shots I took so I was able to retake them. I guess it was a manual restore.
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago” – Acts 3:19-21
2 ... return to the LORD your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the LORD your God lwill restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will mgather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Dt 30:2–3.
I remember driving to church that Sunday, September 16, 2001. My church, at the time, was 24 miles from my front door... that drive took me through part of Durham, onto I-85, and into the countryside through to Cedar Grove. I passed many other churches along the way... one thing they had in common this day was that each church appeared to be experiencing an overflow condition known as SRO... Standing Room Only. Americans were responding to events of the previous week, now known as 9/11. They were looking for answers.
I know without doubt that some of those churches had little to no answer to 9-11, other than to make poor attempts to sooth and console those in attendance. I know because that also occurred at my church. In the ensuing weeks, those SRO numbers tapered back to 'normal' conditions... the crowds obviously didn't find the answer they were hoping for. With their 'repentance' taken care of, they might return at Christmas, or Easter... or not.
The 2nd chapter of Revelation opens with a description of the Church of Ephesus, a church not unlike many others, even today, busy about the things that Christians do, which is a good thing, right? Jesus took issue with that in verse 4: "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first." Just exactly who is that first love? Why does it matter? There's a whole lot to be said for that statement, especially concerning the condition of this world 17 years after 9/11... it also means the answer so many were looking for then is the same as it is now. If folks understood the depth of that answer, Sundays would still see SRO conditions at every church.
On September 11, 2001, 19 Islamic terrorists gave their lives in Jihad as they turned four large commercial aircraft into guided missiles. 2977 innocent people became victims that day in their unholy war... to have the world bow to their vision of what is just before their god. Around 33 AD, another man gave His life so that all may be justified through Him and live. There's an answer in there somewhere.
John 3:12 - When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
This is the 1000-watt light shining through the restored Fresnel lens of the Bodie Island Lighthouse on North Carolina's Outer banks... historically, its light has reached out over the Atlantic as a navigational aid, and has saved lives, which seems more than analogous to Jesus' statement concerning Himself. It's just beginning to rain as this shot was made, just the dynamic conditions that made this light necessary.
came across this newly opened shoe business at "the fort" taguig, metro manila. the opening was a big affair and i was surprised with the turnout of people. this business features reviving and restoring your worn out rubber shoes. i found this fascinating considering new rubber shoes are abundant and reasonably priced, so congratulations to the owners of this business for tapping into a unique market of people who wants to keep their old shoes in good shape!
Nestled along the serene shores of Milang’s picturesque lakeside, the restored Milang Lakeside Butter Factory stands as a testament to both historical preservation and community revitalization. Originally established in 1893, this once-thriving industrial hub played a pivotal role in the region’s dairy industry, churning out butter and other dairy products for local consumption and beyond.
However, as time marched on, the factory fell into disrepair, its once bustling halls now echoing with the whispers of bygone days. Yet, amidst the fading memories, a spark of hope ignited within the community—a shared vision to reclaim this historic landmark and breathe new life into its weathered walls.
Years of dedicated effort ensued, with passionate volunteers pouring countless hours into the painstaking restoration process. From meticulous structural repairs to honoring the factory’s rich heritage through carefully curated exhibits, every detail was lovingly attended to, preserving the essence of the past while embracing the promise of the future.
Today, the Milang Lakeside Butter Factory stands reborn, its rejuvenated facade a beacon of pride for the community. Visitors are welcomed to explore its hallowed halls, where echoes of the past mingle with the vibrant energy of the present. Exhibits offer a glimpse into the factory’s storied history, showcasing the ingenuity and perseverance of those who once toiled within its walls.
Beyond its role as a historical landmark, the restored butter factory has become a hub of cultural activity, hosting community events, art exhibitions, and educational programs. Its scenic lakeside location provides an idyllic backdrop for weddings, concerts, and gatherings of all kinds, fostering connections and memories that will last a lifetime.
Yet, perhaps the most enduring legacy of the Milang Lakeside Butter Factory lies in the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie that brought it back to life. It stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose, breathing new vitality into the places we hold dear.

Patti picked up around 20 old pics when she was in MN. I took this one and cleaned it up. It had a good amount of damage. I am not very good at it but I enjoy restoring old pics.
If you feel tired of your life, just come to Kyoto and see trees of green,
hear the sounds of wind, and take a deep breath with smell of fresh leaves.
That's enough to restoring your soul.
Tried to have lunch here during the visit but it was too crowded, Next time!
On the grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
Recently restored by ARHS ACT volunteers, Beyer-Garratt locomotive 6029 pours on the smoke as she joins the main south for the first time since being restored and returned to service. This was the locomotives first trip on the mainline, running from Canberra to Goulburn to overnight before heading home the following day. Photos do not do this majestic beauty justice, the paint gleams and the sight and sound of 6029 in action is like nothing I have seen before.
The Trinity Cathedral (Russian: Троицкий собор, Troitsky sobor; Russian: Троице-Измайловский соборTroitse-Izmailovsky sobor), sometimes called the Troitsky Cathedral, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is a late example of the Empire style, built between 1828 and 1835 to a design by Vasily Stasov. It is located due south of the Admiralty on Izmaylovskiy Prospekt, not far from the Tekhnologichesky Institut Metro station.
The cathedral, which can accommodate up to 3,000 visitors, has only recently begun to be restored to its pre-Revolutionary splendor after years of neglect. In honor of the victory in the Russo-Turkish War, 1877–1878, when the Russians liberated Bulgaria from the Ottoman domination, a memorial column was constructed in front of the northern facade of the cathedral in 1886. The cathedral became a part of the Saint Petersburg World Heritage Site in 1990.
On August 25, 2006, with reconstruction work underway, the main dome of the Cathedral collapsed after a fire, as did one of the smaller domes. The cathedral was restored and reopened in 2010.
Great to see this old workhorse back out, newly restored 9F class No. 92134 pictured at Darnholm on the North Yorkshire moors railway.

For last week's Station Saturday I shared a photo of the wonderfully restored Knife River passenger and freight depots. So for today continuing the Missabe Monday theme here is a complementary shot featuring the little village's namesake.
The North Shore Scenic Railroad's First Class Two Harbors Fall Colors Tour is on its return run to Duluth as they pass over the Knife River bridge at its outlet into Lake Superior at about MP 19.7 on the Lake Division just west of the depot. Leading the way very much on home rails is DMIR 193 an EMD SD18 blt. Apr. 1960 as the last of nineteen of the model purchased by the road. Chop nosed in 1992 the the locomotive was donated to the museum in 1998 and then repainted in 2002 at the Missabe's Proctor shops.
The North Shore Scenic Railroad operates on 26 miles of government owned track which was originally the Duluth and Iron Range Railway's mainline built as an extension from Two Harbors (then known as Agate Bay). Opened in 1886 only two years after Charlemagne Tower's road hauled its first trainload of ore down from the Soudan Mine, this extension provided the D&IR with a physical connection to the rest of the national rail network. Known as the Lake Division under the auspices of the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range it had revenue passenger service until 1961 between Duluth and Ely. As it was not a route for ore trains the line's utility diminished until it was shuttered in 1982 and then petitioned for abandonment a few years later. St. Louis and Lake County banded together to form a regional railroad authority and then purchased the line from the DMIR in 1988. Tourist trains began running in 1990 and for the first half dozen years it was attempted to operate as a for profit entity. Today the railroad is a volunteer run non profit arm of the museum running over 700 trains during the regular May to October season and then more around the holidays!

Only 200 meters northwest of the very popular (and my personal favorite) Bayon temple, is the Baphoun temple. At one time it was the tallest monument in Angkor, but fell into disarray for centuries.
In the 1960s restoration efforts commenced by taking apart 300,000 sandstone blocks and putting them back together. It has been called the “world’s largest jigsaw puzzle.” The project was interrupted for over two decades as a result of the Cambodian civil war and restarted in the mid-1990s. It was finally completed in 2011 and just in time for my visit in 2012.
I had to do some “restoration” of my own for this photograph. This is a single shot RAW exposure in which I exposed for the sky. I knew with my Canon 5D Mark II with its full frame sensor and 21 mega-pixels of resolution I could recover some detail in the shadows.
So here is the entrance to the temple Baphoun in all its “restored” glory.
Happy Travels!

This restored late XIX century powered sailship is one of the cruise ships sailing around the Galapagos Islands with Santiago and Daphne Mayor islands in the background. Until recently those pricey cruises were the only way to visit the archipelago, and to this day some parts of the Galapagos are only accessible if you book a cruise.
Этот отреставрированный парусный пароход конца XIX века является одним из круизных судов, используемых для посещения Галапагосских островов; за ним видны очертания островов Сантьяго и Большая Дафна. До недавнего времени круизы были единственным возможным методом для посещения архипелага, и по сей день в ряде мест разрешено бывать лишь пассажирам круизных судов.
A very well restored Colorale Prairie, recently seen in the Netherlands.
The model name 'Colorale' was composed out of 'Colony' and 'Rurale', two areas of use for this kind of car.
The 4-door Colorale Prairie station wagon version was much more successful than the Savane version. Despite this modest succes it didn't push up selling figures that much: in general the Colorale Series didn't sell very well.
The Colorale was presented to the motor car press in May 1950. Initially it had a pre-war engine. After March 1953 the modern Frégate engine was used.
Also 4WD versions were offered.

Panama Nebraska. An old school house that had sat empty for a few years across the street was calling Transformation Marketing's name. They are currently in the last few weeks of renovation and cannot wait to put their new creative conference room to use!
The Anderton boat lift near Anderton, Cheshire, in North West England provides a 50ft vertical link between two navigable waterways: the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal.
Built in 1875 the boat lift was in service for over 100 years until it was closed due to corrosion in 1983. Restoration started in 2001 and the boat lift was re-opened in 2002.
Legend tells, that in the 3rd century, the Facundus and Primitivus were martyred here. In 872 a monastery was founded in honor of the two martyrs, but it was destroyed again in 873. After the reconstruction, there was further destruction by Almansor at the end of the 10th century.
The Way of St. James runs here and when in 1085, a market town was founded, which, was endowed with royal privileges, it was very attractive to pilgrims to settle here. In 1085 the bridge over the Rio Cea was also built, which is still in use.
Thanks to donations from Alfonso VI. and his successors, Sahagún became the most powerful abbey on the Camino Francés, minting its own coins. The decline began at the latest when the Catholic Monarchs decided to support the monastery of San Benito in Valladolid. Sahagún became dependent on this monastery and lost importance and privileges.
San Tirso is located just about 200m apart from San Lorenzo.. So it may have been built at the same time in the Mudejar style. The church benefited from donations from passing pilgrims. Since the flow of pilgrims almost came to a standstill after the Reformation, the brick building fell into disrepair, but was largely restored in the 20th century.
Seen in the background is the tower of the destroyed monastery of San Benito

Located in Queen Street, Portsmouth, Hampshire. The tram shelter had been along the seafront at Southsea Terrace until falling in to a state of disrepair. Renovated and relocated next to a modern day bus shelter in Queen Street close to the Historic Dockyard gates.
The shelter is thought to be from the Edwardian era.
Trams last ran in the Portsmouth area in 1936.
With the sails finally reattached to the mill last week I couldn’t resist a visit this weekend to check it out. She looks great, though with builders fencing and vans still present all around I decided to compose from distance in order to get a clean shot.
