St Saviours Dock, Bermondsey, London. No longer used as a dock of course and the buildings have been turned into flats/apartments.
The Hungarian State Railway is choking itself on poor maintenance and a shortage of carriages this summer.
Intercity trains running with 1-2 fewer coaches than planned, shunting diesel locomotives pulling "express" trains instead of mainline diesel are a daily theme now.
In the suburbs of Budapest, on the last non-electrified line, number 142 passenger capacity was greatly reduced with the summer timetable stepping into play.
Already within a few days, MÁV realised that passengers commuting to work did not magically disappear with the start of the summer school holiday, and so the larger locomotive-hauled trainsets were put back into circulation on the line.
With driving trailer 102's running permits expiring, a replacement was in need, so in the recent days freshly renovated 141 arrived from Debrecen.
First CCC entry, into the Medieval Militia Category! Lots of inspiration taken from Legonardo and Maestro for the main building. The crate designs go to Jonas Kramm and Rolli.
Huge thanks to ma boi Jake for the edit, my edit didn't turn out so good, so big thanks to him! He is tagged below. :)
C&C Appreciated!
To Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour be the Glory!
Entry to the 12 x 12 category of SJ. Apparently I can't count, because I originally was building it at 12 x 13, but in the end I figured it out and narrowed it down a stud.
If you'd like to see a fun function I added to the build, I posted a video as well showing the function.
Anyways, hope you enjoy!
C&C Appreciated!
To Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour be the Glory!
Luke 2 "...behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

In this picture, there are BILLIONS of midgies (1-1.5mm biting flies) just dying to dine out on your blood. For that reason, Sandwood Bay in July is a near suicidal place to choose for wild camping. However, COVID restrictions prevented the usual week in June for the last 30 years, leaving that the only option.
Fortunately for most of the time, the wind blew strongly from north, then south, then west. On the one evening when stillness descended, the clouds of dementors filling the grasslands rose up intent on revenge. I had not appreciated that despite previous belief, smoke from a fire will not save you when they have not eaten in days, even if you are standing over the smoky fire.
The westerly saviour also swirled through the sea of maram grass and provided some interest on a dull wet day.

Where I come from, in France, there are a lot of those water towers. I never really understood their usefulness, do they need to be this big to build pressure ?
I owe my peace and freedom to two people in SL who really went out their way to help me take steps to become a stronger person. Strong enough to break free of toxic chains that almost destroyed me. For that they have my eternal loyalty and respect.
Pretty was the first who found me and through her, I was able to leave behind a very vicious cycle. My beloved daughter, she has stood by me when even those who had known me far longer, betrayed my faith.
I will always be here for you. We got out a terrible situation together, and we saved each other when we took a big courageous risk in leaving behind everything we'd known, to find a new home. We defied all the odds and everyone who doubted us. We made mistakes but we changed for the better, Most of all, we took control of our own fates.
Thank you for caring for me and for everything you've done for my sake ❤

~The night is deafening when the silence is listening,
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing.
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in,
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them.
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it,
'Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic,
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it,
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to know.
I just want to run to you,
And break off the chains, and throw them away,
I just want to be so much,
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust,
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour, I'll need a saviour.
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same,
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained,
And when it's all you control 'cause you've got nothing else to hold,
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go.
I don't want to know...
I just want to run to you,
And break off the chains, and throw them away,
I just want to be so much,
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust,
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour,
I'll need a saviour.
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small,
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall,
Save me.
I just want to run to you,
And break off the chains, and throw them away,
I just want to be so much,
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust,
I just want to run to you,
And break off the chains and throw them away,
I just want to be so much,
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust,
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour,
I'll need a saviour~

Christ the Saviour Cathedral which was first built in 1882 and took more than 40 years to build. It was later destroyed in 1931 on the order of the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin to make way for a Palace of the Soviets. Construction of the palace started in 1937 but was halted in 1941 when the Germans invaded the Soviets during WWII. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the cathedral was rebuilt between 1995 and 2000.
Before we came to Copenhagen I had a look at things we could see in the city. Sometimes it's nice to just wander around and see where you end up but with limited time here, it was important to have a 'to do' list. Although we didn't go inside the church, I knew I wanted to get a close look at it, so I was pleased we found time to find this view point across the road from it!
You can climb the spiral staircase which narrows as it goes around the spire, but having watched a video of someone doing it on YouTube, I knew there was no way I'd be able to consider it!
The Church of Our Saviour (Danish: Vor Frelsers Kirke) is a baroque church in Copenhagen, Denmark, most famous for the external spiral winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. It is also noted for its carillon, which plays melodies every hour from 8 am to midnight.
When Christian IV planned Christianshavn in 1617, it was intended as an independent merchant's town on the island of Amager and it therefore needed a church. A temporary church was inaugurated in 1639 but construction of the present Church of Our Saviour, the design of Lambert van Haven, did not start until 1682. The church was inaugurated 14 years later in 1695 but important interior features like the altar had a notoriously temporary character and the tower still had no spire. The church got its permanent altar in 1732 but plans for construction of the spire was not revitalized until 1747 under the reign of Frederik V. The new architect on the project was Lauritz de Thurah. He soon abandoned van Haven's original design in favour of his own project that was approved by the King in 1749. Three years later the spire was finished and the King climbed the tower at a ceremony on 28 August 1752.
There is a long-lived urban legend stating that the architect killed himself by jumping from the top of the spire, when he realised that the spiral turns the wrong way - anticlockwise - around. This is not about Lambert van Haven, since the spire was added to the church almost 50 years after his death, but the designer of the spiral spire, Laurids de Thurah. There is no truth in the myth though, since Thurah died in his bed seven years after the spire was completed, and there is nothing in the records that indicates that he should have been unhappy with his work in any way.

So continuing my adventures into astrophotography and specifically "deep sky" with this view of the Andromeda Galaxy M31. This is a massive step up from my first attempt to capture our close neighbour (its only 2.537 million light years away!). Also in view are M32 and M110 dwarf galaxies.
Not ideal conditions with a first quarter moon and moderate light polution. Looking forward to a new moon next time maybe. So grateful for all those youtube videos on set up and editing. They are invaluable to a newbie like me.
If you have read down to here thank you. I'll reward you with the image specifics! Tracking is with a modified Sky Watcher Star Adventurer.
