White House sub shop in Atlantic City has been a favorite of many locals and those who have performed there through the years. Opened in 1946, its fans included members of Hollywood's' rat pack, Marilyn Monroe and many younger celebrities. Many of their signed pictures hang on the walls of this modest little place.
Two and a half years after it was put into storage, Metrolink F59PHR 873 is back in service powering trains around Southern California. The last of Metrolink's original F59PH fleet, 873 was stored in the summer of 2020 as more new F125 units were brought into service. However, with some F125s and MP36PH units out for maintenance, a handful of F59PHRs were brought back to life. Units 856 and 868 have been running since the summer of 2022; 873 was brought back the week of 12/12 and is still just stretching its legs after a long rest. Here it leads train 362 into Claremont on a Saturday afternoon.

Island Coach Services Van Hool Astromega TD927 OU59 AUY in Brighton this afternoon, 4th March, 2022. It was originally an Oxford Tube coach.
It’s an old service station nears Cairns, Australia. You can see there’s a dilapidated bowser on the left. The structure has had a pink wash at some point which certainly would not have been the original color.
As a teenager in the 1960’s, I would fill my first car up in places like these. You’d pull up out front and a man dressed in overalls with a good head of hair and an oily rag slung over this shoulder would skip over briskly: ‘Fill her up?’ he’d inquire, and you’d say ‘Yep. Thanks’. He’d stick the nozzle in and lock her down then be lifting the bonnet to check the oil: ‘She’s a bit low. When’s your next service?’. ‘Next month’ ‘Hmm…better get it done sooner rather than later. OK, that’ll be a dollar-eighty-five’.
Then I looked up from my camera and wondered where that good-natured fellow went.
After the closure of the GWR station at Barnstaple Victoria Road, trains for Taunton shared Barnstaple Jnc. Station.

Part of a collection that I've been reunited with. These were wedding and shower and birthday gifts that I fondly remember my mom bringing out from a cabinet on special afternoons and following many holiday dinners. After she passed away, they were buried further back in the cabinet...then moved to boxes...eventually hidden deep in basement storage. They recently came to mind, and all it took was the ask and they made their way back to light and a whole new purpose.

Follow the mooring rope that leads you down to the boat, the sun ripples reflected from the water caught my eye.
Blakeney Marine Services use this boat to go and retrieve customers boats that have lost their moorings and swept out towards the sea.
They also collect customers boats to be repaired and service ready for the next season of summer boating.
Shot was taken at low level with my monopod to try and get dramatic viewpoint, the slipway here is very slippery and usually wellington bots are the order of the day. Or use an extended monopod from the safety of the quay.!!
Not my usual look, but a very talented and lovely friend made this amazing PVC maid dress for me. Cleaning is not really my favorite thing, but I love wearing this dress!
