It's been a while since I ventured down the cut.....
The Stour Valley and the BCN run pretty much arrow straight, within a few feet of each other for the section between Tipton and Albion. Here, a Cross country Voyager approaches Watery Lane (Tipton) with 1M45 1050 Paignton to Manchester Piccadilly.

The top section is undergoing restoration work.
Construction began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, 2 years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to be a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Estimates suggest that the construction cost 4.5 million rubles. The construction was completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Tsar Alexander II's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.
A temporary shrine was erected on the site of the attack while plans and fundraising for a more permanent memorial were undertaken. In order to build a permanent shrine on the exact spot where the assassination took place, it was decided to narrow the canal so that the section of road on which the tsar had been driving could be included within the walls of the church. An elaborate shrine, in the form of a ciborium, was constructed at the end of the church opposite the altar, on the exact place of Alexander's assassination. It is embellished with topaz, lazurite and other semi-precious stones, making a striking contrast with the simple cobblestones of the old road, which are exposed in the floor of the shrine.

New Haven Railroad DER-1c class ALCO DL-109 diesel electic locomotive # 0709 leads a 3 car suburban passenger train in Providence, Rhode Island, early 1950's. This location may not be Providence but indications are that it is. It appears that there is a heavyweight combine baggage-coach and two general coaches on this train. The season appears to be winter. Check out those interesting power poles with the special wire insulator mountings.

And here we are back in Canterbury at the Westgate Gardens at the end of the awesome Canterbury Circular Long Distance Path. Its been fabulous, full of interest, beauty, nature and friends and now the end is here I can look back with fondness on this most excellent route. Time for a full blown afternoon tea with everything on it, fully loaded and to contemplate on our next "Long Distance Walk" the Wealdway, Eastbourne to Rochester across the High Weald......

This is remaining section of Lanacre on the Grahame Park Estate; the southern bit of it was lost in 2015 as part of an earlier revamp of the estate.
The first bus to serve this road was the old 79 which was extended from Colindale Station to serve this estate in the early 1970s, not long after the first residents moved in when much of the area was still a building site.
That 79 route has eventually become the 204 that operates today.
New Haven Railroad Budd RDC-1 # 24, RDC-3 & RDC-1 are seen in an unidentified yard area, 1963. The use of the RDC made various line profitable or to at least help pay for the passenger commuter services that they provided. With the McGinnis paint scheme on the car ends, they really caught your attention in my opinion. The RDC-3 in the middle position is the most unusual of the group with space for 48 passengers along a baggage and a mail compartment being included.
The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

A few weeks ago I shot an assignment for the Metropolitan section of the New York Times which included a panorama you can see here if you scroll down a bit: www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/new-york-panorama.ht...;
This is the full version of a similar shot
Elastic bands, lots of em!
Having made the engine innards, I got a bit carried away and made an interior for the rest of the ship too. I was quite surprised just how much space was available once all non-essential parts were removed. I tried to get all the essential elements in: life support, flight computer, fuel injectors etc. but I wasn’t too concerned about how close they looked to the ‘real’ cross-section.
Overall I’m very pleased with how this turned out, I had thought that creating interior detail would cause problems with strength but it seems to hold together just as well as it did before.
A section of Glenawilling Strand, East Cork. This is a combination of two shots - a long exposure of 25 secs at f/11 to get the silky effect in the sea and the other at 1/250 sec. The reason for the latter is that the long exposure shot suffered from water droplets on the lens - there was a very high wind blowing towards the camera - and so I used the short exposure shot to mask those in post-processing.
A tomb built in an Islamic style with a stained glass window that reads "in memoriam". Built by former confederate general P.T.Beauregard for his daughter who passed away in 1884.

Twilight and moonrise at Springfield, Massachusettts' Union Station finds the Boston section of Amtrak's eastbound 'Lake Shore Limited' boarding passengers (including, shortly, myself) while the Greenfield-bound 'Valley Flyer' waits to depart northbound. While the station building itself here has recently undergone a beautiful restoration and renovation, work is still slowly ongoing at platform level.
The tail end of the Boston section is encrusted in icy snow- west of here in the Berkshires, and to the north in Vermont, heavy snow had recently fallen. The conductor here had assumed I was only taking photos and not actually boarding- by the time he pulled up the step, he realized the situation and let me on at the last second! Incidentally, I did not make it all the way to Boston on this trip, but that's another story.
The nosebleed section of CSX's former B&OCT 16th St. Bridge frames the Willis Tower in downtown Chicago. Willis Tower is still referred to by many by its original name and owner, Sears.
The 16th St. Bridge tender controlled (and technically still does, although the Air Line hasn't seen a train in a few years, and the B&OCT for many years) both drawbridges which are adjacent to each other and run parallel.
