While going through old photos. I came across this one of an old service station... I thought it was a cool building.

St Andrew, Wissett, Suffolk
I loved coming back to Wissett in the early spring, on one of those days which are still hard to believe given how long the winter has been. The birds seemed pleased with the day as well, providing a soundtrack to my long freewheel down the hill from Spexhall. I crossed the busy Halesworth to Harleston road, pushing my bike across the little wooden bridge which spans the drainage ditch along the north side of the churchyard. It is there for a good reason, for in 1968 the flood water rose so high here that the organ was destroyed.
Wissett church is one of those that you can tell is going to be lovely even before you step inside, the long nave and large chancel setting off at a march from the tall round tower. The east end was rebuilt to repair damage from the Great Storm of 1987. Neighbouring Uggeshall was one of three Suffolk churches that lost their east end completely that night. The feeling is of Perp-elaborated Norman, a happy combination, and you step through a Norman south door, its mouldings filled with madly grinning faces. Mortlock describes this range as 'splendidly pagan', and the very name "Wissett" may come from a Norse word meaning 'pagan temple goers'. It is not too fanciful to think that the tower may have been built in the lifetimes of people whose grandparents had told them of the pagan days, if that doesn't sound too Arthur Mee-ish.
The font is one of the finest of those typical East Anglian fonts with lions and woodwoses on the stem and angels on the bowl. One of the Woodwoses stands on one leg with a nonchalant air.The pammented floors offset it perfectly, and so the long, narrow aisleless church leads the eye to the chancel, opening out in a haze of light. There is so much light in the church because there is so little coloured glass, and what there is is uncommonly good, especially the cluster of 15th Century East Anglian work in a window on the north side of the nave.
Three of them are angels. One of them is kneeling and holding a chain, and so is obviously a censing angel from a veneration scene of Christ on the cross. The other two appear sad, perhaps pensive, but I think their expressions are intended as awe, because the angle of their heads suggests they are looking down at a Nativity scene, in which angels were traditionally shown leaning on the walls of the stable looking down. The size of the three angels an idea of the scale of the lost scenes they came from, and the extent of that which we have lost. The other figure is a venerable and heavily bearded St John the Baptist, who does not look quite as severe as the Gospels might have suggested him. Indeed, he appears to be playfully tickling his little lamb. The surviving legend with part of his name below him is decorated with barleycorns, the hallmark of the Norwich school of glass makers.
Under the tower, boards record feats of bellringing carried out towards the end of the 19th Century, while another board reminds us that the tradition survives here, giving times of service and practice. Even more recent is Peter Ball's sinuous sculpture of St Andrew set in a medieval image niche in a window splay on the south side of the nave. His work will be familiar to visitors to Ely and other cathedrals.The straw cross hanging in the chancel arch was produced for a flower festival back in 1973. This struck me as a mark, not only of continuity, but of resilience. Another reminder, if we needed it, that the main destiny of our medieval churches is not to be contemporary worship spaces, but to be the soul in stone at the heart of their communities, and as witnesses to larger truths, just by raising their heads above the rooftops and above the fields.
This is a former Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA) recycling truck. I've seen that the chassis is a 1994 Oshkosh, which makes me think that this truck originally came with a different body.
I remember these trucks as a kid and they had a non-packing Kann type body that had those attachable panels on each section. You would have to add panels as the truck got filled. I believe the original body also had an Oshkosh logo on it... but I could be wrong.
This Walinga body has a build date of 1998, which leads me to believe that SPSA swapped the body out so they could collect more material and extend the useful life of the truck. An interesting feature of this body is that the bucket is raised with a visible chain.
I hope you all like seeing this truck as much as I did. This truck is (at the time of the photo) for sale at Tom's Truck Sales in Manassas, VA.

The Erie Railroad's Youngstown bypass must have been quite a place during its day. Even into the Erie Lackawanna era it hosted heavy freights. Today, very little of it is in use. This segment in Warren was last used by the Ohio Central to access the Erie's mainline to Akron and Chicago, but trains haven't used this route for a good decade or so. The turned signal head suggests that even when the OC used these rails, the signals had been decommissioned.

A National Ambulance Service Dispute badge issued to help raise funds for ambulance servicemen while out of work and unpaid, as well as displaying public solidarity with their cause.
The background for the 1989/1990 ambulance service dispute goes back to 1985 when a deal was made with the unions for parity of pay and conditions between the police, fire-fighters and ambulance services. Subsequent deals between unions and government broke this parity and by 1989 both pay and conditions between ambulance workers and the other services had fallen behind substantially.
The National Ambulance Service Dispute lasted from the 7th September 1989 to the 23rd February 1990. However, throughout this period, they retained overwhelming public support despite dirty-tricks by the government to sway public opinion against the trade dispute. Although suspended from their work, ambulance personnel continued to provide emergency cover where possible.
Initially, the St. John Ambulance, the Red Cross and Metropolitan Police were called upon to provide accident and emergency ambulance cover. By early November, the government had called out additional accident and emergency ambulance cover from the Defence Forces, mainly the army. The dispute ended when all sides agreed to new rates of pay and condition.
An important outcome for ambulance personnel was the provision of adequate funds to provide additional training to up-skill ambulance personnel into skilled paramedics. The unions that represented ambulance workers during the dispute were NUPE, COHSE, NALGO, GMB and the T&GWU.

This is a photograph from the annual BHAA Government Services/Social Protection Group's 5 Mile Road Race took place on Tuesday 27th May 2013 at 20:00 in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland. The course is a fast flat course which begins on the Dunboyne-Maynooth Road between the two entrances to Dunboyne Castle Estate. The race then proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction back to the Dunboyne Athletic Club on the Rooske Road in Dunboyne. The race reaches higher standards with every passing year. Paul Gorey and his team of volunteers must be given great credit for putting on such a wonderful race event. Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs taken at the finish line area of the race. There are also some races of the buildup and the start of the race. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644466844507/
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 500 participants .
Weather: A bright sunny evening with little breeze
Course: This course is fully left handed with very little in the way of inclines. Good road surface. These are nice narrow country roads with shelter provided by mature hedgerows. This year the race finished with 3/4 of a lap of the Dunboyne AC track.
Refreshments: Lots and lots as is the tradition with BHAA Events - served outside the scouts hall at the track.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
