Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Its ruins, a grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument, are open as a visitor attraction.
The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184 but subsequently rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. The abbey controlled large tracts of surrounding land and was instrumental in major drainage projects on the Somerset Levels. The abbey was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England. The last abbot, Richard Whiting (Whyting), was hanged, drawn and quartered as a traitor on Glastonbury Tor in 1539.
This Grade II*-listed stone packhorse bridge over the River Welland at Deeping St James in south Lincolnshire dates from 1651. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Deeping St James is based around a now lost 12th-century Benedictine Priory, destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The stones from the priory were used to build various 17th-century buildings in the area. The village is one mile east of Market Deeping which is also on the River Welland. This rises near Sibbertoft in Northamptonshire. The Welland is one of the main rivers that helps to drain the Fens. It joins the sea near Fosdike in The Wash.
Precision Scheduled Railroading in effect, NS Train 224 with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Heritage Locomotive on the point passes over Dry Creek on the NS Kansas City District-BNSF Brookfield Sub.
This train's Moberly crew was over 9 hours old at this point, and at 13,024 with 3 distinct blocks of traffic to get rid of between Voltz and Kansas City, they'll be close to their hog time before they make the first cut.
The Lackawanna's Phoebe Snow and N&W's Herman H. Pevler are both rolling in their graves.

memories from our visit to the Orkneys. This beautiful little plane is the trusted transport of choice if you want to hop from Westray island to sister island Papa Westray. The flight lasts about SIXTY SECONDS and is listed in the Guinness book of records as the World's shortest scheduled flight. We even got a certificate for that :)) And as you can see, this little plane is the island's postman and lifeline as well.
Having had lightly (or no) scheduled traffic in the recent past, I had never given D&RGW's La Veta Pass much thought; but after reading more on its storied past as a potential route south to Mexico for the Rio Grande, I have newfound respect for its historical significance. With the takeover of the Pass from San Luis Rio Grande by Colorado Pacific Rio Grande (CXRG), and what appear to be twice-a-week runs to a connection with UP at Walsenburg, it may become my new "go-to" during future family trips to Colorado.
The hogger on this CXRG train is taking it nice and slow near the station of Russell on the west side of the Pass, returning to Alamosa from Walsenburg. In a few miles, it'll be a mostly-flat, if not smooth, ride all the way into town. Now, about that power...
Inside the TWA flight center which was open to the public during the 13th Annual Open House New York event. The building designed by Eero Saarinen is futuristic with wonderful lines and curves. Scheduled to reopen in 2018 as the only on site hotel at JFK International Airport

Scalloway castle is one of only two castles in Shetland, Scotland. It is a four story tower house with decorative corbelling at the corners. It was built in 1600, with forced labour, from local limestone and sandstone from Orkney by the unpopular tyrant Patrick Stewart (son of Mary Queen of Scots half-brother Robert), who was beheaded in 1615 for oppression of the local people and treason. It is a scheduled monument, currently undergoing restoration.

But it's time to shift things, ever so slightly. I've got a few projects waiting for me in the next few weeks, gonna hopefully stretch my legs a bit, artistically speaking.
Excited, bit nervous. Don't really like change all that much. But there's something in my brain pan saying "do something different", and if there's one thing I've learned, all my years on earth, it's this:
ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE STRANGE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD.
Both sandhill crane eggs hatched and out popped two precocious, healthy orangey-gold chicks, endearingly known as "colts" almost immediately ready to follow their parents out of the nest on their diligent foraging for worms and insects to feed the colts.
Interesting to note that these photos were taken exactly one year to the day from my images of the 2019 hatchlings. These guys really keep to a tight schedule!
With 258's new schedule, the morning Orrick shot is now constantly available. Getting an eastbound here in morning light used to be a rarity after 120's schedule change several years ago.
The CTC siding here is on its deathbed as the turnout at Curry (east end) has been removed. It's no surprise given it's condition and seldom use. I've only seen MOW equipment parked here. I wonder what that will mean for the west end and the nice signal bridge.

This whole row is scheduled for demolition to allow the Eden Project to be built. I'll believe it when I see it.
Meanwhile, Morecambe seems to be tying its future to this development.
Have a zoom around this picture for some interesting details.
With its scheduled maintenance complete, Arcturus Outpost’s LL-928 Galaxy Explorer takes flight, to explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations.
--- For this shot, I was trying to take the vibe from the box artwork with the ship zipping across a starry skied tan colored, planetoid surface and just give it a 2020’s sci-fi cinematic look and feel.

Dunseverick Castle (Irish Caisleán Dhún Sobhairce) is the ruin of a spur castle lying on a rocky outcrop by the sea in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is about 2 miles west of the town of Dunseverick and is a Scheduled Monument.

Once Warren got to my apartment we discussed a plan. The first place we would search would be the warehouse where I left Brock. I took Dolly to my weapons room to get some guns, I invited Warren but he said his wings would suffice.
Wade, I know that this is hard for you. But is this the way you want to deal with it?
Dolly this is the only way I can deal with it. She means the world to me.
Dolly looked disappointed. I forgot that she wasn't dating. She grabbed two pistols and walked out of the room.
How are the love birds doing?
Dolly shot him a nasty look.
-------------------------------------------------
We reached the warehouse around 11:00, right on schedule. I grabbed the charge out of my bag and handed it to Dolly. Me and Warren stood on the side of the door while Dolly set it.
Is this one of those bombs that beeps?
Dolly smiled.
Of course it is, I would blow our cover like that!
How long is the time set for?
Thirty seconds, just like we planned.
The time slowly counted down. We stood, frozen in time.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

It hadn’t even been six hours since I had arrived back him from my trip and I already found myself glued next to one of the local mainlines.
My flight home from Chile on AA912 wasn’t terrible, somehow managing to catch some sleep in a fully packed Boeing 777-223ER, and a lengthy phone call with friends upon arriving back at Miami Int’l Airport at 05:00 would further wake me up that morning. Leaving the house to hunt some train movements seemed like the ideal plan. No room for sleep anymore; after all, the rest of the family was knocked out at that hour. I wasn’t trying to be nuisance at home.
While on the aforementioned phone call, I’d receive confirmation regarding FEC Train 101-27’s consist for the day: a complete “Champion”-painted power set with a solid train of solely intermodal traffic for Port Everglades and Hialeah. Definitely something worth photographing in this day and age of the Florida East Coast Railway. Making it out to Dania Beach around 10:00, a short waiting period would play out while waiting for 101-27 to arrive at Port Everglades and make their setout.
Bypassing the Hialeah-bound freight occupying the East Main by PEV Storage, BLF 723-27 takes on the curve—aptly named by some local buffs as ‘Dania Curve’—at Milepost 347 on its morning southbound revenue run from Orlando Int’l Airport to MiamiCentral, now five miles away from its Aventura station stop. A pair of second order SCB-40’s bracket a five-car BrightBlue train set, a shiny #BLF113 on the point of the train breezing past lush trackside shrubbery. With how regular these trains are along the mainline, they make for fantastic photo angle test subjects… you could say it was warmup. Safe to say this was one of the rare ‘keeper’ test shots from that morning.

Excerpt from www.rbg.ca/events/chrysanthemum-and-dahlia-show/:
The Hamilton District Chrysanthemum and Dahlia Society annual show includes dahlia blooms from the entire array of the ADS classification and is a highly impressive spectacle of size, colour, and form!
These blooms are “exhibition quality” and typically not found in local garden centres. There will also be a Design section of the Show which will highlight dahlias and chrysanthemums in various themes according to the Design Show Schedule. There is currently a judging school program running at Royal Botanical Gardens through GCO and many of the students are anxious to enter the show in order to achieve their credentials requirements.

Last night was the annual Million Mask March through central London. After the troubles last year, such as the burning of a police car there were a lot more police on the streets, and they were much more assertive in dealing with protesters.
The red lines on this guy are focus beams from a TV camera outside the van. I couldn't help thinking it looked like the Terminator had tracked him down!
This Friday & Saturday (16&17th of May!!! I'll be spinning on Saturday at 11 am. Don't miss it. Can't wait to see you all \o/.

Lincoln Cathedral is a Grade I Listed Building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument, meaning it is of outstanding architectural and historic interest and afforded a degree of protection under the law.
It's very impressive from any angle. You really do get blown away by its enormity and the skills of the craftsmen and women of the day.
Work to build The Cathedral Church of St Mary, better known as Lincoln Cathedral, began in 1072, meaning the oldest parts of the building are now more than 950 years old. It finally opened in 1092.
The Cathedral spire is 520 ft (crossing tower). The Nave is 78 ft. Architectural styles: Gothic architecture, English Gothic architecture.
Lincoln Cathedral has a busy schedule throughout year, thousands of visitors and ongoing preservation.

After a brief mushroom break, it's back to the fall spectacle which is very nearly at peak. And despite three days of relatively constant rain, your intrepid reporter continues to dash about between the drops to document the scene for you more than deserving contacts. However, this has unfortunately put a damper (finally a truly appropriate use of the word) on some of the local annual events scheduled for this weekend, those being the apple and cranberry festivals. The rain, combined with 50F (10C) temps and 20 mph winds has also no doubt discouraged less than hardy travelers who make the trip to the Northwoods to view the color changes. This has caused concern amongst the local merchants who depend on the tourist trade to keep their coffers filled. I was going to recommend that they call their Congressman to see if he might filibuster the weather patterns, but then remembered that he is one of those responsible for the government currently being closed (regardless of weather), and thus unavailable to take any calls.
Cenarth Bridge is a three arch bridge which spans the River Teifi at Cenarth in West Wales. The bridge was built between 1785 and 1787 and designed by David Edwards, the son of William Edwards who built the Old Bridge at Pontypridd. It features a series of circular holes that serve to maintain strength while reducing the weight of the structure. The bridge, which straddles the border between Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, is both a Grade II* listed structure and a scheduled monument.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled program! After my previous street photo upload, I'm happily back to long exposure monochromes! Only 3 days ago, I was writing about how, lately, I've had no patience for processing and, all of a sudden, I'm back in the game. Funny how these things work!
This week, I've suddenly rediscovered why I just adore b&w photography. There's just such an amazing emotion that is evoked when I look at a really good b&w photo. Yea, I dabble in the odd colour image or two when I'm feeling a little stale, but b&w is really where it's at for me.
This image is probably one of the darker ones I've done and it's inspired by one of the best b&w photographers around these parts - Andy Brown. He is the king of the dark moody monochrome. Do check out his work if you can.
Hope everyone has a rocking weekend ahead!

After a couple of decent mornings at Bamburgh, I thought I'd give Dunstanburgh a try. As sunrise was about 5:30 that meant a 3:30 start from our rented cottage for me and faithful assistant, Alfie. Whilst I like this, I think I will be back in the future to try again, but next time I might try a more civilised time of year.
At the city-center terminus of Line 2, the tram is scheduled to leave only right before the next arrives.
The overnight schedules of the CN pair of Centralia to TRRA locals have gotten out of whack lately with many of the trains dying somewhere on the St. Louis Subdivision. As you can see, the 8 inches of recent snow are no longer a cause! The IC SD70 fleet continues to make appearances as well with the IC 1024 leading the L548 on this day. Big train of nearly 115 cars bound for the TRRA. Some of the extra power is bound for STL area repair shops (Quality Rail, MEI) but the 1024 was definitely putting in some work.
17th Street in Belleville just a couple blocks from where I work and a quick "field trip" to GTS.

Running nearly an hour ahead of schedule, 60066 makes its presence known as it lifts 6F05 16.16 Tunstead Sidings - Lostock Works away from Great Rocks Jn.
This wasn't really the intended composition, however the early running caught me off guard, so I hastily recomposed and just managed to get this, phew.
