I really like the Art Nouveau mermaid on this sign. Didn't get the chance to eat there but it's on my list for next time.
Not because of this robin necessarily, but there were plenty of birds singing today, and what is more I saw my first butterfly on the wing this year - a Brimstone.
Surprisingly, this seems to be my first photo of a European Robin on flickr, despite it being such a regular bird that is often easy to photograph.

Drybridge Lodge, Mostyn, built in 1849 by Ambrose Poynter, is one of a fine series of 19th century lodges and gates forming the architectural setting of Mostyn Park. It is a castellated lodge of 2 storeys superimposed on a bridge above a road, with an integral tunnel through the building itself.

Ski is a citrus-flavored soda native to Chattanooga--but the nearest bottler in St. Louis is in Breese, IL. The first time I tried it, a friend asked if it was more like 7Up, Squ|rt, or Mountain Dew. I had to say it was more like carbonated Pledge. The locals are really proud of it, though. And this sign at Excel Bottling is fantastic!
(The eccentric spelling in the previous paragraph is a test; I got oodles of hits on this photo within 24 hours of putting it up--like, a real eyebrow-raising number. So. We'll see if it's as popular now.)

This is one of the busiest corners in the Nobb Hill area of Albuquerque. It has 5 different streets merging at this point. It can get a bit congested here at times and it's got lots of signs. I only got a few in this shot. Interesting sign above telling the pedestrian to use the cross walk, but then above says "no pedestrians"...a tad confusing! I love the Model Pharmacy sign about the European Fragrances, it's a favourite of mine.
Thank You for any/all comments you may wish to add, I do appreciate them all.
Have A Warm, Safe and Terrific Tuesday.

In this R&N storyline today we'll go after what I showed up looking for. The GP38-2's painted in the Reading Co's last scheme which was applied to their GP39-2 and GP40-2's.
I think I photographed 9 or 10 trains on the Scranton Branch during the trip. I fought clouds for much of it, though never on cloudy days. The branch is fantastic for photographers. In it's 7 or 8 miles between Pittston and Taylor there's side-by-side running with the former Lehigh Valley, a flyover, former DL&W mileposts, a through truss bridge, a former station, a cut, an S curve, and an iconic easy to do elevated shot. Traffic and timing are very consistent, Monday through Friday the PISB (Pittston-Scranton Branch) is pulling into Taylor between 830 and 9am. Weekends are a little different with the PISB doing double duty and handling the interchange with NS at Taylor. On these days they also usually split their power instead of keeping both engines on the head end. During my stay this job was the nearly exclusive domain of a pair of the RDG painted* GP38-2's.
The surprise was the Pittston yard job. When I showed up to Pittston for the first time since probably 2006 (Pittston back then had been my only experience with the R&N) I wasn't surprised to see a Caboose there. I was surprised to see it used the next day and then absolutely flabbergasted when I figured out that the normal move for the yard job was to shove the entire way up the Scranton Branch to Taylor! Every now and then there will be an exception where supposedly the hitch a ride on the rear of the PISB up there but it didn't happen while I was there watching (Though once or twice I would see it mentioned in John Cudo's post to the Friends of the Reading and Northern Railroad Facebook group).
Anyway usually late morning the YJPI1 shoves to Taylor Caboose-first and returns with it tucked in between the locomotives and the inbound interchange. The line orientation is more east-west than north south so the PISB is aiming into low sun in the morning and coming back towards the sun in the afternoon. The yard job makes itself a mid-day affair.
Here late on a weekend morning we see the early (compared to the usual 4pm or so) return of the Scranton train (SBPI now in deference to the change in direction) bending around the wye at Pittston Junction off of the former DL&W into the former LV Coxton Yard. And Mr. Muller loves signs.
Framlingham is a market town and parish in Suffolk. Of Anglo-Saxon origin, it appears in the 1086 Domesday Book when it then consisted of several manors.
The medieval Framlingham Castle is where Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon, was proclaimed Queen of England in 1553. There is a large mere next to it which used to supply the castle with fish.
St. Michael's church is the final resting place of members of the Howard family who were Dukes of Norfolk and Henry FitzRoy, 1st. Duke of Richmond and Somerset (1519 to 1536), an illegitimate son of Henry VIII.
The town sign is positioned in the market place and is surmounted by the name. Below is shown the castle and the church. Beneath the castle is one of two of the oldest pillar boxes in the country still in use, dating from 1856 marked V. R. Victoria Regina, after Queen Victoria. In the centre is the armorial crest of Framlingham and on the right is the parish pump with its two spouts. At the bottom is an image of ducks swimming on the mere.
If I heeded these signs, I'd never have gotten any of the great pictures I've taken in these places.
Ensign's 401, P563 MSX a Volvo B10 artic / Plaxton Coach is pictured missing part of its fleetname. Not due to someone having a bit of a chortling wheeze, but due to it being sold and the fleetname in the process of being removed.
(Update: neon gone as of winter 2010-11.) Old signage at the end of the Fullerton and Grand CTA bus lines. It's been a tacqueria during all the years I've come by and taken shots...
this sign was a first for me, found a few miles out of Battle Creek, Mi. in the middle of farm country
Seen on the door of some complex-looking electrical equipment at CERN (the european centre for nuclear physics research) in Geneva.
A reflected neon sign in a rainy evening puddle in an inner Brisbane suburb.
Thanks for stopping by. Your comments, however brief, are always welcome.
Have a Snappy New Year!!!
