Around September 1st, on what would turn out to be a few days prior to the announcement of the federal election to be held on October 14th, a group of people gathered to ask the Canadian opposition parties to form a coalition government, rather than go to election.
Although the coalition government idea did not get serious attention at the time because of timing and dealines, it became a very heated topic in the last few days of November 2008, as the opposition parties threatened a non-confidence vote on what they saw as a highly contentious budget from the Conservative government.
On December 2nd, 2008, the opposition parties, consisting of the NDP, the Liberals, and the Parti Quebecois came to a historical agreement to form a coalition government. However, on December 4th, the Governor General of Canada, at the Prime Minister's request, prorogued parliament instead of allowing the the coalition government to take power. This effectively delayed the non-confidence vote until the resumption of parliament at the end of January 2009.
BR diesel Class 33, BRCW Type 3 or Crompton D6535 stands out of the rain under Empress Road bridge on Loughborough shed coupled to Class 20 D8098. It is having (long overdue) bodywork done.
Built by Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company in 1960 as D6535 it was push-pull fitted in 1967 and under TOPS renumbered 33116. It moved to the Great Central Railway in 2005, under the custodianship of the 5305 Locomotive Association.
Photograph taken at 14:46pm an altitude of Two hundred and eighty five metres, on Saturday 13th September 2014 off Duffey Lake Road 99 and Seton Lake Reserve Road, on the shoreline of Seton Lake.
Seton Lake is a freshwater fjord, which drains East via the Seton River into the Fraser River at the town of Lillooet in British Columbia, Canada. The lake is Twenty two kilokmetres in length with an elevation of Two hundred and forty three metres and an average depth of around Fifteen hundred feet.
The Duffey Lake Road is a scenic highway which forms part of an automobile touring route called the Coast Mountain Circle Tour. This route forms a Seven hundred Kilometre circle from Vancouver and takes between two and four days to enjoy all of the sights. We were heading on a beautiful, slow and scenic journey from our family's cabin on a secluded stretch of Adams Lake, past Kamloops and onwards for a three day stop at the Crystal Lodge Hotel in Whistler Village, in the South Pacific Ranges of Coast Mountains in the province of British Columbia, Canada.

Beneath a cloudy mid September Saturday afternoon sky, Sanders North Walsham depot based former Nottingham City Transport Scania N94UD East Lancs Omnidekka type number 123 - YN07 EYY is seen on the B1145 at Banningham Bridge as it heads for Carrow Road while working the above journey on Norwich City FC service NC3. This is one of four NCFC dedicated services that have been operated by Sanders for many years, the others being service 1 Holt - Norwich via Sheringham/Cromer; 2 Fakenham - Norwich via Bawdeswell and 11 North Walsham - Norwich via Stalham/Wroxham. From week commencing 11th September 2022 an NC prefix was added to their existing service numbers and they now operate as services NC1/NC2/NC3 & NC11.
The service NC3 route runs from North Walsham to Norwich via Felmingham and Aylsham. With variable, often TV related, kick off times the timings can vary widely, but all journeys commence from their respective starting points at the same number of minutes prior to kick off. In the case of this service it's always 120 minutes (2 hours) before. Between North Walsham and Aylsham, service NC3 follows much of the route taken by Sanders service 18 (NSu), but without the deviation to serve The Crown PH at Banningham. However, the latter service is always worked by single deck vehicles, thus a shot of a decker anywhere along this section of the B1145 is quite rare, apart from match days of course.
Upon acquisition in May 2018, number 123 was named “ROMULUS”, but it had lost the name at some point after September 2021. The eagle eyed will also note that since last appearing before my camera on 22nd July 2022, the missing tree defenders have been replaced.
On 16 September 2020, a student stands in an empty classroom in Panama City. Schools in Panama closed fully on 12 March 2020 and remain shuttered one year on from the World Health Organization’s declaration of the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. According to UNICEF data released on 3 March 2021, schools for more than 168 million children globally have been completely closed for an entire year due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Furthermore, around 214 million children globally – or 1 in 7 – have missed more than three-quarters of their in-person learning. The analysis on school closures report notes that 14 countries worldwide have remained largely closed since March 2020 to February 2021. Two-thirds of those countries are in Latin America and the Caribbean, affecting nearly 98 million schoolchildren. Panama has kept schools closed for the most days, affecting nearly one million learners.

Kuhtor, Hansestadt Rostock, Altstadt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
Nord Deutschland, am 9. September 2018
Es war Tag des offenen Denkmals am 09. September,
Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wurde das Kuhtor im Jahr 1262,
älteste Gebäude in Rostock.
Die Bezeichnung Kuhtor verdankt das vielleicht ältestes noch existierendes Stadttor in Norddeutschland seinem Fall in die Bedeutungslosigkeit, denn nach der Inbetriebnahme des Steintors wurde durch den Durchgang vor allem Vieh auf die Wiesen an der Warnow getrieben, im 14. Jahrhundert wurde es sogar zugemauert. Nachdem das Steintor nach nicht einmal 300 Jahren nach seiner Errichtung in einem kriegerischen Konflikt mit Schwerin von deren Truppen geschliffen wurde, wurde das frühgotische Kuhtor vorübergehend wieder als Stadttor in Betrieb genommen, bis das Steintor und der mit ihm abgetragene angrenzende Teil der Stadtbefestigung zwischen 1574 und 1577 wieder aufgebaut wurden. Der viergeschossige mit 8 mal 9 Metern fast quadratische Wehrturm hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte hinter sich. 1608 wurde der trutzige Bau mit seinen dicken Mauern vom Rat der Stadt zeitweise zum leichten Gefängnis umfunktioniert, um noch im selben Jahrhundert zum Wohnhaus für den Büchsenmacher zu werden. 1825 wurde das Gebäude gänzlich zu Wohnräumen umgebaut und hat seither unterschiedliche Bewohner und Organisationen in seinen Mauern beherbergt, aktuell seit 2010 die Mediationsstelle Rostock. Allerdings nicht unterbrechungsfrei, denn der Wehrturm wurde bei den britischen Luftangriffen 1942 schwer beschädigt. Erst zwischen 1962 und 1964 erhielt der Bau überhaupt wieder ein Dach, 1984 wurde er dann komplett rekonstruiert. Die Steine am Sockel des Spitzbogens des Wehrturms statt gebrannter Ziegel sind übrigens ein typisches architektonisches Merkmal für die Bauweise von Wehranlagen im Spätmittelalter und also auch andernorts zu finden.
==========================================================
Rostock cow gate, old city, Hanseatic City of Rostock,
The cow gate was first mentioned in the year 1262,
oldest buildings in Rostock.
The term cow gate owes its case into irrelevance, the perhaps oldest still existing gate in North Germany because after the commissioning of the stone gate, above all cattle in the meadows on the Warnow was driven by the passage, in the 14th century it was even bricked up. After the stone gate was sanded after not even 300 years after its construction in a warlike conflict with Schwerin by their troops, the Gothic gate of the cow was reinstated temporarily as a city gate in operation, until the stone gate and the adjacent part of the town fortifications between 1574 and 1577 worn with him were rebuilt. The four-storey with 8 times 9 meters almost Square Tower has a chequered history. in 1608 the defiant construction with thick walls of the City Council was converted temporarily to light prison, to become the residence for the gunsmith in the same century. 1825 the building entirely converted into living quarters and has since then different people and organizations within its walls houses, currently since 2010 the Mediation Office Rostock. But not without interruption, because the tower was damaged in 1942 British air strikes. Only between 1962 and 1964 the building was given a roof, ever again, in 1984 it was rebuilt completely. The stones at the base of the pointed arch of the Peel Tower instead of burnt bricks are to find a typical architectural feature for the construction of fortifications in the late middle ages and so also elsewhere.

When I was on the hilltop photographing the steelworks I noticed a large railway yard off to the east and returned the next day
Margam Knuckle Yard was opened in 1960 and is integrated with the Port Talbot steelworks located a short distance to the west from where the works shunters were seen moving trainloads of steel coil.
Operated by DB Schenker Rail (UK) the line up of Class 66 diesels including 66651 are easily viewed from the public footpath that surprisingly crosses the whole complex on the level.
The Great Western main line to Swansea is behind the camera and is also crossed on the level by the footpath.
Saturday 12th September 2009, will remain in my memory for a very long time, and when ever I think of this day, it will bring a lump to my throat and fond memories.
This day saw the launch of “Stagecoach Gold”, which is the newly revised service 94, linking the beautiful cities of Gloucester and Cheltenham. Stagecoach in the South West has always arranged great running days, and today was no exception. There were RE’s, VR’s and FLF’s linking Gloucester and Cheltenham, and we had 25 degree sunshine!
I was fortunate enough to be able to lend my driving prowess to a few very good friends, and I give thanks to Rob Sly for allowing me a circuit with 5031 (Cheltenham NBC Leaf Green Dual Door VR) on the 80, and thanks to Jason for allowing me a short play with his National 2 B.
I must mention and give special thanks to Mike Ede and the Stroud RE group, for asking me to collect one of their beloved RE’s from Gloucester Bus Station at the end of its Duties, take it to the depot in Gloucester, get her fuelled and then have the “Honour and Pleasure” of driving her out of Gloucester Depot, back to Stroud Depot to drop off another driver and then take her back to the yard. Another fantastic day and one to savour and remember forever!
I am writing this and listening to “Land of Hope and Glory” on the TV, whilst watching the “last night of the Proms”, and I can feel myself getting emotional. Here’s to lots more fantastic days like this with my best mate Mark, and with lots of very good friends making a good day into an unforgettable one!

Finally - a break from work. On a whim, went out to see how the fall colours are doing north of toronto. Visited one of my favorite haunts, the forks of the credit provincial park as well as the beautiful winding roadway that connects nearby.
i've told countless people that this IS the route to take to catch fall colours this year... most sundays in the fall this route is jammed with touring motorcycles and the wonderful small town at the end (Belfountain) overrun with parked bikes and leather jackets.
But no - someone in the planning department here decided to rebuild the infamous hairpin bend - ensuring that this wonderful falltime roadway will be closed until December. Silly planning me thinks.
Ignored the ROADCLOSED signs to see how far I could get.
Well - scratch the shoot at the hairpin. What about the wood fenced property along the credit river... nope, covered in construction guys. Determined to shoot something, parked the car at a giant train trestle and readied the gear. Get out of the car, start walking... and it starts raining. Go back to the car - get the rain gear. Pours more. Go back to the car... give up or wait the rain out?
Opted for the latter all the while wondering - can I get on top of that train trestle....?
An oil painting of Sheffield Castle by artist Kenneth Steel completed in 1950 for the Brightside and Carbrook Cooperative store headquarters in Angel Street. I had a fun afternoon exploring the Sheffield Castle site as part of the Heritage Open Days (Sunday 15th September 2019), learning about the history of Sheffield, seeing some of the finds from the 2018 Wessex Archaeology dig, and visiting some of the castle ruins not normally on public display... The tour was led by Professor John Moreland from the University of Sheffield's Department of Archaeology with help from the Friends of Sheffield Castle, Wessex Archaeology, and local historian and raconteur Ron Clayton.
It is believed that the first Castle on the site in Sheffield was a Norman motte & bailey castle (usually attributed to William de Lovetot, an Anglo-Norman Baron), with the earliest known reference to a castle at Sheffield being around 1188. The castle passed to the Furnival family who supported the Royalist cause during the Second Barons' War of 1264–1267. In 1266 a party of anti-monarchy barons, led by John de Eyvill, passed through Sheffield, apparently burning the castle.
In 1270 Thomas de Furnival obtained a charter from King Henry III to build a castle at Sheffield and this is the more well known one. It was built of stone and extended from the River Sheaf to Waingate and then from the river Don to Dixon Lane, an area of about 4.2 acres (17,000 m2; 180,000 sq ft). A 2,461-acre (9.96 km2; 3.845 sq mi) deer park was attached to the castle, one of the largest deer parks in the country at the time. Mary, Queen of Scots, was held prisoner in this castle and its associated estates for 14 years between 1570 and 1584. he castle was held by Royalist forces for part of the English Civil War, and was surrendered to the Parliamentarians in 1644 following a short siege. Its destruction was then ordered by an Act of Parliament in 1647 and the castle was razed to the ground. Over future years the site became home to a bowling green, cementation furnace, slaughter houses and then Castle Market in the 1960s.
Sadly there are no contemporary paintings or plans of Sheffield Castle so all reconstructions of Sheffield Castle (like this painting by Kenneth Steel) are based on surviving descriptions and archaeology. The first excavation was led by Leslie Armstrong in 1927 and this discovered the gatehouse. The ruins here are quite extensive, a small portion of which is viewable, though via a manhole cover and step ladders and has been sealed now for several years. There is a second room containing a section of castle wall that is accessible and it was this that was viewable on the Heritage Open Days. It is hoped that in the future the site will be turned into a park with both the River Sheaf and Sheffield Castle foundations uncovered for all to enjoy.

Face detection focusing mode is very helpful in the street scenes where you focus on a face, since you can concentrate on framing and other adjustments while the camera handles the focus for you.
Fully Articulated LCD Screen
An articulated screen gives you the flexibility to shoot in non traditional positions such as waist level, which helps you to be more creative and unobtrusive in the streets.
Image Stabilization
Image stabilization reduces the effects of camera shake at long exposures and long focal lengths in street photography thus ensuring sharper photos.

Wyoming, USA - September 25, 2020: The East entrance of Yellowstone National Park from Cody going into Sylvan Pass
Rue de Vaugirard 10/09/2019 20h33
Rue de Vaugirard corner Rue d'Alleray on a September evening in 2019.
Rue de Vaugirard
Rue de Vaugirard is a street in Paris crossing both the 15ème and 6ème arrondissement of Paris and four quartiers; Odéon, Notre-Dame des Champs, Saint-Lambert and Necker. With a length of 4.360 meters the longest street within the city limits of Paris having 407 house numbers. Rue de Vaugirard starts at boulevard Saint-Michel and ends at boulevard Lefebvre.
"Vaugirard" came from an old French noun-and-genitive construction "val Girard" = "valley of Girard" (Latin vallis Girardi), after an Abbé Girard, who owned the land over which the road passes.
The road appeared in the 15th century, and led from Philip II's city walls towards the village of Vaugirard. This route was itself based on an old Roman road.
Rue de Vaugirard is mostly a one-way street from the Latin Quarter (at the junction of Boulevards Victor and Lefebvre) towards the edge of Paris (at the Porte de Versailles). Traffic flows in both directions between Rue de Rennes and the Place de l'Odéon.
Métro line 12 follows the Rue de Vaugirard and has the stations: Falguière, Pasteur, Volontaires, Vaugirard (in the center of the old village Vaugirard), Convention and Porte de Versailles. In addition, the station Saint Placide, on line 4, is on the route of the street as well.

This was the first time I had gone to a wannaGoFast event. I went on a Saturday, September 17th, 2016 to the Heaven's Landing Airstrip located in Clayton, Georgia. I want to thank the wannaGoFast organization for providing me a media pass to this event. I would certainly go again in the future. If you never been to such an event, you should go at least once and see what it's really like to see cars going their fastest. This was the first time I had ever seen a Lamborghini go over 200mph in person !
The wannaGoFast organization was founded in order to fill a niche in the motorsports marketplace. Our goal was to create a safe and controlled environment for fellow car enthusiasts to pursue their “Need For Speed” without the restrictions of the standard 1/8 or 1/4 mile drag strip. See what it’s like to hit speeds you’ve only dreamed of without the risk of law enforcement or causing injury to others, while being surrounded by on-site safety personnel.
