The Round Island Light, also known as the "Old Round Island Point Lighthouse" is a lighthouse located on the west shore of Round Island in the shipping lanes of the Straits of Mackinac, which connect Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It was deemed necessary because the island is a significant hazard to navigation in the straits, and was seen as an effective complement to the other lights in the area. Because of its color scheme and form — red stone base and wood tower — it has been likened to an old-fashioned schoolhouse.
Historical marker reads:
The Round Island Lighthouse, seen south of this site, was completed in 1895. Operating under the auspices of the United States Government, this facility was in continuous use for fifty-two years. It was manned by a crew of three until its beacon was replaced by an automated light in 1924. A sole caretaker occupied and operated the station from 1924 to 1947. Following the construction of a new automatic beacon near the breakwater off the south shore of Mackinac Island, the lighthouse was abandoned The United States Forest Service now supervises the structure which is located in the Hiawatha National Forest. The lighthouse serves as a sentinel for the past, reminding visitors of the often precarious sailing and rich history of the Straits of Mackinac.

When I was growing up, this would be our playground. Round the back of my childhood home on Fishponds Road in Eastville.

Just cheap pure silver.
This is what is called a generic silver round. "Generic" because it isn't issued by an official government mint, which is also a reason that it can't be called a "coin". (that and the lack of a "face" value). This round is made for and distributed by Provident Metals of Texas, USA and is, surprisingly, the cheapest form of silver that you can buy on their website.
Really cheap silver that looks this good works for me!
After waiting for the H-GFDNTW to get pulling for a few hours, I decided to head home and watch it on ATCS. I followed this train on the way back and snapped this shot of it roaring though Elk River.

Sloe Fair, Chichester
----------
The earliest record of the holding of a fair in Chichester is the grant by Henry I, about 1107-8, to Ralph, Bishop of Chichester, of a fair to be held for eight days, at a time to be fixed by the Bishop. The date selected was the feast of St. Faith the Virgin, whose cult was strong in the city. The name "Sloe Fair" seems to have been derived from the sloe tree which stood in the field near the North Gate of the city where the fair was held.
Although the form of the fair has varied with time, the tradition of Sloe Fair continues to the present day. On 20 October each year, a large funfair is held in the Northgate car park for one day and Cicestrians enjoy themselves, as in the past. During World War II, a single caravan was parked on the site so that the right to hold Sloe Fair would not lapse.
