As I photographed this abandoned restored church I thought what a beautiful way to think about Good Friday and Easter and the true meaning.....we can get restored, there no distance in prayer. Happy Easter my Flickr friends.
Two restored enlisted barracks housed 4 companies of the 9th Calvary after the conclusion of the American Civil War. The 9th Cavalry Regiment was one of the Army's four segregated African-American regiments and was part of what was known as the Buffalo Soldiers.
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

Doug Harrop Photography • August 5, 1986
Mr. Harrop stepped outside the cab of his GP9 to capture this view of a ballast train working in tandem with his rip rap "rock train" on the Strongknob fill, 52 miles west of Ogden, Utah.
A series of passing storms culminating on June 14th completely washed away a total of 11 miles of right of way in the Great Salt Lake. Crews working 24 hours a day, seven days a week reopened the route to through trains on August 22, 1986. Heroic by any measure.
Knossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.
I made this for my Mama when she was battling cancer. Through it all her faith and love for the Lord never wavered. She never feared death. When she knew it was time, she said she was ready to go be with Jesus. She called it her graduation.

The pilot is looking right into the camera!
Continuing my series of very old aircraft, this is the oldest British built aeroplane that can still be flown. Dating from 1912, it was built to the order of one Cyril Foggin, about whom little seems to be known, other than that he became a Royal Flying Corps pilot in WW1, rose to the rank of Major and was sadly killed in 1918 at the age of 26 in a car accident close to the Western front in France. Before the war, Foggin had sold the Blackburn plane to farmer Montague Glew. The latter flew, and eventually crashed the plane in 1914. Its remains were kept in a barn (under a haystack!) until discovered and purchased by Richard Shuttleworth in 1938. The aircraft was restored in 1948 and has been flying ever since, owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection.
On a happier note, Monty married Cyril's younger sister in 1922. Monty was lucky to have survived his brief flying career - he was too short-sighted for military service in WW1.
we are taking a weekend away at the beach. time to reconnect with each other and ourselves. so relaxing and much needed. you will see shots here and there throughout the weekend, but commenting will be kept to a bare minimum. happy weekend.

There dwelt a miller, hale and bold,
Beside the river Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till night -
No lark more blithe than he;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be:
“I envy nobody – no, not I -
And nobody envies me!”
“Thou’rt wrong, my friend,” said good King Hal,
“As wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light as thine,
I’d gladly change with thee.
And tell me now, what makes thee sing,
With voice so loud and free,
While I am sad, though I am king,
Beside the river Dee?””
The miller smiled and doffed his cap,
“I earn my bread,” quoth he;
“I love my wife, I love my friend,
I love my children three;
I owe no penny I can not pay,
I thank the river Dee,
That turns the mill that grinds the corn
That feeds my babes and me.”
“Good friend,” said Hall, and sighed the while,
“Farewell, and happy be;
But say no more, if thou’dst be true,
That no one envies thee;
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown,
Thy mill my kingdom’s fee;
Such men as thou are England’s boast,
O miller of the Dee!

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).
close to a well visited museum. If only all Istanbul houses were maintained like these......might be a bit boring though :)
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.
Lovely restored garden near the Menai Straits on Anglesey. The building at the back of the lawn on the right of the shot, is a rather nice tea room. The buildings on the left are converted to holiday cottages, which must make a lovely place to stay.
Another restored slide, taken somewhere in South London.
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.
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.
These partially restored structures stand in the most densely built-up part of Machu Picchu, which is believed to have had a population of less than 1000 people. The site dates from the 1400s, and was “re-discovered” in 1911 (local farmers were using the terraces even then).

Either way - its her turn !
In this post I told the story about my last minute pilgrimage to Montana Rail Link on the cusp of its flag lowering: flic.kr/p/2nLhAy6
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.

Night vision infra red. I'll explain something about the process in the other two shots posted today.
The Star Theatre in Invermay was built in 1937 in the Art Deco Moderne style. This is one of the original ceiling lights in the restored building.
Restoring intended value through an application of intended use.
Paper and masking tape.
Dimensions variable.
The downtown Pawhuska area has had a lot of work put into it. However, not every building and place has been restored. This old building was looking a bit tattered but still standing strong. Hopefully, we're able to keep these small downtowns alive into the future. It's a little crazy to think about how few opportunities there are outside of the big metro areas these days.
