A view of the former 3rd Ward School in Petersburg, Illinois. Shown above is the main building of the grade school that was constructed in 1874. While the original use of the building ended decades ago, the structure has been repurposed and is now an apartment building.
A view looking south on N. Walnut in downtown Champaign. Ahead on the southwest corner of N. Walnut and E. Main St. is the First National Bank Building, a contributing building in the Champaign Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
The First National Bank, located at 30 E Main Street, is based on a Greek Revival form and features beautiful Corinthian columns and pilasters. Chicago architects, Mundie and Jensen, constructed the building in 1909. The stone-faced historic bank was one of the first steel-constructed buildings in Champaign.
The exterior of the original building has excellent architectural integrity. Interior changes occurred during the middle of the twentieth century in an attempt to modernize. There is an addition to the west and to the south. Both were constructed in 1966, and are non-contributing to the historic district. The First National Bank Building is now the location of a PNC Bank branch office.
Located in Champaign County in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of the City of Champaign at the 2020 census was 88,302, while Champaign County had a population of 205,865.

Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.
What do you do with an old copper bowl that has a hole in it? Some people might fix the hole.
Or, you can make the hole bigger and turn it into a small sink.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album. Enjoy!
My wonderful SIL created gift bags this year and mailed them early with requests to “open” them!! They are sewn from quilt squares and the back side is red felt— isn’t she clever? The next picture in the photostream shows some of the things that were in the bag!

Thank you for your comments and favourites.
Good news, my flare-up of severe Long Covid symptoms appears to have ended as suddenly as it started. Yesterday I actually felt 'normal' for the first time in just over two weeks. Just as the previous two occasions this has happened, the duration and severity of symptoms and the sudden onset and end are nearly identical. So bizarre. Hopefully it will be a few months before it happens again, like last time, though obviously I would prefer that it never happens at all.
Of course, the symptoms remain, but the difference in severity is enormous. I have to remember that while I 'feel' like I am back to normal, my normal now is not what it used to be and I have to be careful not to overdo it. I still have to micromanage my rest and recovery for everything that I do.
It's blissful not to feel and hear your own heart thumping irregularly and at just 30 beats per minute over and over again, non-stop, day after day. There must be a trigger to this repeating pattern of symptoms though. I just don't know what it is yet.
Take care everyone.

This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
The pretty little village of Wiveton is situated in the north of Norfolk, southwest of Cley-next-the-Sea. The parish has a long history and was established by the time of the Norman Conquest. It is detailed in the Domesday Book of 1086. As is the case with so many English villages the church is now the oldest building remaining.
The Church of St Mary has a 14th century tower and chancel, but pieces of reused stonework suggest an earlier church existed. The nave, aisles and porches date to the mid to late 15th century, and further restorations were carried out during the 17th to 19th centuries.

We’re very into the notion of reusable wrapping alternatives, so this is my back-up posting for Macro Mondays theme of wrapping. The actual chosen posting comes up next. .
Everyday I remove the card from my camera and dump the photos on my computer, then put the card back into the camera for next day. So far just once did I pull out the camera to get the red flash of no card. The reusable card is also on my faux Autumn leaf that gets used each year for accent on mantel.

As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

Ponte Sisto è un ponte nel centro storico di Roma, che attraversa il fiume Tevere. La costruzione dell’attuale ponte si colloca tra il 1473 e il 1479 e fu commissionata da papa Sisto IV (r. 1471-1484), da cui prende il nome e guidata dall'architetto Baccio Pontelli, che riutilizzò le fondamenta di un precedente ponte romano, il Pons Aurelius, che era stato distrutto durante l'Alto Medioevo. Si è soliti vedere fotografie di questo ponte con la cupola di San Pietro sullo sfondo. Si dice che il ponte sia infestato dal fantasma di Donna Olimpia Pamphili, l'amante di papa Innocenzo X, che ogni notte lo attraversa per raggiungere il suo letto.
Ponte Sisto is a bridge in Rome's historic centre, spanning the river Tiber. The construction of the current bridge occurred between 1473 and 1479, and was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV (r. 1471-84), after whom it is named, from the architect Baccio Pontelli, who reused the foundations of a prior Roman bridge, the Pons Aurelius, which had been destroyed during the early Middle Ages. It is usual to see photographs of this bridge with Saint Peter's dome in background. The bridge is said to be haunted by the ghost of Donna Olimpia Pamphili, Pope Innocent X’s lover who crossed it each night on her way to his bed.
It takes nearly one hour of walking to reach this wreckage of a DC-3 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur. However, for a special wedding photo, this effort seems to be acceptable.
I've seen a fair few old telephone boxes with defibrillators, but this is the first with a book swap included. Seen in the village of Fotheringay - Peterborough.

I was pleased to find that the Northern Flickers were going to reuse the nest they built last year. They appear to be more comfortable with my presence than last year, so I'm looking forward to getting some more fun photos here.
I'm fairly sure when I took this shot, the eggs were already laid, for after twenty minutes of quiet waiting, this male's head popped out and stayed out until the missus arrived. Then with a quiet chortle of greeting, they quickly swapped spots. The male flew out before the female landed under the nest.
When I checked on the nest yesterday, I was pleased to hear that the chicks had hatched. When a parent returned and entered the nest hole, the tiniest of chicks squeakings could be heard...begging for first dibs on feeding.
This will be my last upload for awhile...again..., as I'm behind on a great many things...including writing an article for a local magazine. More on that to come. So, until next time, enjoy your week/weekend and thank you so much for all your support, faves and comments. They are always appreciated!

Not too bad for a picture where I put my camera over a security fence and had no idea what it would turn out like. Renovations on this historic building are coming along nicely
Some of the contents of a large plastic box in our kitchen drawer where we put our recyclable items such as plastic bottles, magazines, flyers, food tins and drink cans. When it's full I take it out to the garage & tip everything in a big wheelie bin. This gets collected by a private company fortnightly, the other week they take our actual rubbish (trash) away, thankfully we don't produce much of that so often that wheelie bin only goes out once a month. Glass has to be taken to a bottle bank. I use to take gardening & bird watching magazines to our GP surgery for others to read but those days are gone.
We compost all our newspapers, cardboard packaging/toilet rolls etc & I reuse suitable plastic food trays to stand plant pots in. All available windowsills currently have trays with small pots containing tomato/chilli/pepper/courgette & sweetcorn seedlings, waiting for the current cold snap to pass so I can plant them out in the polytunnel.
For Macro Mondays theme "Trash" HMM!
