'St Faith' heads into Portsmouth on the 14th of August 2016. The little coloured dots in the sky are kites, as there was some kind of kite festival on the beach.

This church had been was on the verge of demolition, barring the acquisition of massive restoration funds, when I shot this photo in 1989.
Fortunately, the beautiful structure was saved from the wrecking ball.

St. Michael's Cave or Old St. Michael's Cave is the name given to a network of limestone caves located within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, at a height of over 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. According to Alonso Hernández del Portillo, the first historian of Gibraltar, its name is derived from a similar grotto in Monte Gargano near the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo in Apulia, Italy, where the archangel Michael is said to have appeared.
It is the most visited of the more than 150 caves found inside the Rock of Gibraltar, receiving almost 1,000,000 visitors a year.
St Ives Harbour on Saturday afternoon; probably the last real beach day of the summer season. Special thanks to Charlotte for the framing advice :)
Railway Bridge Remains, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, 10 Dec 2025
The circular object on the foreground and the three pillars on the opposite side of the river are the remnants of the old railway bridge.
The railway line opened in 1847 and carried passenger traffic until 1959. It finally closed in 1964.
The railway from St Ives to Cambridge survived a bit longer, with passenger services to 1970, and some freight until 1992. The route is now the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway.
St Pierre is a former parish and hamlet in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, 3 miles (4.8 km) south west of Chepstow and adjacent to the Severn Estuary. It is now the site of a large golf and country club, the Marriott St Pierre Hotel & Country Club, which was previously a large manor house and deer park belonging to the Lewis family.
The manor of St Pierre was originally part of the parish of Runston, now a deserted village whose only standing remains are Runston Chapel, and was later amalgamated for civil purposes with the neighbouring parish of Mathern. It is uncertain whether the name originates from a Welsh family, PÅ·r, or is of Norman origin.
Around 1380, St Pierre was owned by Sir David ap Philip, who served under King Henry V in France, and the name of his son, Lewis, was later adopted by his family and descendants as their surname. The estate continued in the ownership of the Lewis family until 1924, although they had moved out of the mansion to the neighbouring Moynes Court in the late 19th century. The last member of the family to own the estate was Air Commodore Freke William Wiseman-Clark, who died without issue in 1908. Thomas Lewis, Esq., married the daughter of Sir Richard Levett, Lord Mayor of London, and other Lewis family members also made propitious marriages. Several members of the family became High Sheriffs of Monmouthshire. Others became Members of Parliament, including Thomas Lewis who was MP for Monmouth, Newport and Usk between 1713 and 1752. His family took over and developed the "New Passage" ferry service across the Severn from Black Rock, in competition with the "Old Passage" service run from Beachley by the Duke of Beaufort. In 1925, the mansion and deer park were sold to Daniel Lysaght.
The former manor house includes an important 16th-century gatehouse which is a Grade II* listed building, but the remainder of the building was largely built in the 19th century. Major extensions have been added since the house became a hotel in the 1960s. It was bought by Tintern Abbey Hotels in 1961, and a golf course (now "the Old Course") was opened in 1962 with a second course in 1975.

BNSF's westbound Y-STL117 or "Madison Turn" has gotten some interesting power assigned. The Madison Turn is a daytime transfer from BNSF Lindenwood Yard to the TRRA Madison Yard and return. The BNSF and TRRA take turns throughout the year providing the power and crews and it's currently the BNSF's turn. The Madison Turn is on duty at Lindenwood in the morning for the late morning run to Madison. After some switching and doubles, the train is usually returning through St. Louis in nice afternoon light.
A nice easy chase through the city put us on the Jefferson Ave overpass for a nice view of downtown St. Louis with Union Station on the left and the Arch on the right. Ahead is the Grand Ave interlocker and the return to home rails for the last couple miles to Lindenwood.
