... once a year they had to report to Aldershot Camp, sleep in a tent and live the life of a soldier for a few weeks. They first had their training near Aylesford where the camp was then located and later at the site of the current Aldershot Camp. The militia training was held late in the year, running from around September 7 to September 18. These Aldershot split ring hammers were in use for only two to three weeks each year...LINK - edwingcoleman.com/2005/10/07/mandatory-militia-training-o...

O que fazer quando seu modelo fotografico é uma cabeça de gesso? Como criar, expressar sentidos e sentimentos diferentes se não se pode digirir uma cabeça sem vida, uma forma humanóide que não se passa de um molde barata utilizado para estudos?
Que tal brincar com os sentidos inexistentes desta mesma forma??? Como aqueles macaquinhos famosos que cobrem seus olhos, ouvidos e boca!
Pensando nisso essa pequena série foi crianda exatamente para brincar com os sentidos que essa cabeça não pode ter.
É como tivemos o poder de dar vida ao objeto, e no mesmo exato momento, privar-la dessas suas características de ser vivo.
Uma brincadeira um tanto quanto maldosa, porem muito divertida.

City of Victoria was incorporated - 2 August 1862. It was named after Her Majesty Queen Victoria (1819-1901), who ascended to the throne in 1837 at age 18, and reigned until her death. Victoria was formerly the capital of Vancouver Island and later of the united colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, and since the union with Canada in 1871, the capital of the province of British Columbia.
There is no record of opening of the post office. There was a mail service arranged for Victoria in 1858 from San Fransisco - there is no doubt that it was always the intention at headquarters for the new establishment in the Straits of De Fuca to be named Fort Victoria.

The Cornwall brothers who established their ranch, "Ashcroft" in 1862, came originally from the village of Ashcroft in Gloucestershire, where their father had been vicar. When the CPR adopted the name Ashcroft for their station just east of the ranch (and what would become the townsite), the Cornwall's added "Manor" to the name of their home, making it Ashcroft Manor.
Ashcroft was founded in the 1860s, during the Cariboo Gold Rush, by two English brothers named Clement Francis Cornwall and Henry Pennant Cornwall, founders of Ashcroft Ranch, who emigrated to Canada from Ashcroft, at Newington Bagpath in Gloucestershire. The brothers had originally come in search of gold; however, on hearing stories from failed gold searchers they decided to found the town to give future gold searchers a place to saddle their horses. They sold flour to packers and miners, helping to make the community. Ashcroft was a major stop for trains, where mining supplies were dropped off.
- from 1908 "Lovell's Gazetteer of the Dominion of Canada" - ASHCROFT STATION, a post settlement and railroad depot on the C.P.R., in Yale co., B.C., about midway between Lytton and Kamloops, and 200 miles east of Vancouver. It is on the Thompson River, has a dry climate and light atmosphere, the surrounding district being excellent grazing land, on which much farming is done by irrigation and considerable stock raised. Ashcroft is the entrepot to the Cariboo district, via stage line to Barkerville, a distance of 287 miles. The village has a fine electric light plant and good water system; it has also 3 churches (Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist), 10 stores, 3 hotels, 1 bank, 1 saw mill, 1 printing and newspaper office ("Ashcroft Journal"), besides express and telegraph offices. The population in 1908 was 500.
(from 1918 - Wrigley's British Columbia directory) - Ashcroft - on the main line, C. P. R. and C. N. R., 204 miles east of Vancouver, in the Provincial Electoral District of Yale. Dominion and Canadian Northern Express. Altitude, 1,004 ft. Centre of the irrigated belt and noted particularly for its famous potatoes and beans. Stock-raising and mining. The population in 1918 was 500.
Ashcroft Station was an early settlement. Before the railway was established, Ashcroft Manor was a stopping point on the Cariboo Road. The post office was originally in the local store but was moved to the station. It was established - 1 March 1886. The name was shortened to Ashcroft - 1 April 1899.

Oggi non è stata una giornata ferroviaria molto positiva....dovevo fare una mattinata full trains, partendo con il Chignolo Po e finendo con il russo in Lombardia, ma le velleità sono state smorzate da Viaggiatreno con la malaugurata sorpresa che il treno era stato cancellato.....allora ho pensato di fare un salto nel primo pomeriggio in Alessandria per fare qualche scatto. Come posteggio e scendo dalla machina qui la sfiga colpisce nuovamente....sento fischiare una locomotiva dietro le spalle, mi giro e vedo delle cisterne che si muovono oltre il piazzale del parcheggio ma subito non riesco a scorgere la loco, anche perchè questa si mimetizza, complice una certa foschia, con della vegetazione subito dietro....in pratica è il Sannazzaro che sta partendo con una D345 in livrea old al traino...alchè vado definitivamente nel pallone andando ad aspettare un'IC proveniente da Torino dalla parte sbagliata.....poi esce il sole e allora non posso fare altro che mettermi in questo punto e....si raddrizza un po' la giornata...........E655.277 al traino di carri Falns in arrivo alla stazione di Alessandria mentre impegna il ponte sul Tanaro proveniente da Torino e diretto a Genova....Marittima o Campasso.
