I used the new Topaz product Restyle on this image to manipulate the color tones. I like how it came out.

Sunrise from Signal Hill, St. John's, NFLD
I'm usually gone by this time, most often getting the colours before the sun breaks the horizon. The cloud cover made an interesting scene. A little work with saturation on the RAW file in Digital Photo Professional and Auto Levels in Photoshop on the Tiff file gave this result.

A high ceiling, as yet untainted by BRs push to fit all manual boxes with the lowered cheap polystyrene roof tiles - which although effective in warming the boxes, looked awful! Also present are the old tin light covers that you could spin around to any direction - unfortunately there never seemed to be enough light from them.
The signal box is a GWR design and was built in 1914. It worked to Wellington box until 2002 when that became absorbed by Madeley Junction (which itself was demolished when Wolverhampton PSB took over in 2012).
As well as the subsequent installation of various colour light signals it now works to the West Midlands SCC which was the final one in the "Russian Doll" effect when it took over Wolverhampton PSB in 2016.
The triple and double stack ground disc signals have since been reduced to single ones and the main semaphore section signal (no.90) with Severn Bridge's distant signal beneath was later converted into a colour light.

Out with the old and in with the new. The new signals waiting to be turned and put into use all along the BNSF.

A Crosscountry Class 220 Voyager slows down for the next signal at Bournville with the 15:35 (16 late) 1V58 Edinburgh Waverley to Penzance. There wasn't much distance between this unit and the London Midland 323s in front; in fact, they were still in the station when this reached the old Cadbury's bridge, hence why a yellow signal is being displayed.
Canterbury East Signal Box, 14 October 2025. Built 1911 by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway to one of their standard designs but raised on steel supports to improve visibilty. It is the only SECR signal box remaining.
Moreover, rather surprisingly, the box was fitted with a London & Chatham Railway lever frame dating from 1878, one of only two such frames still extant. It is Grade II listed. Unfortuately, the box is in dreadful condition and the wooden staircase giving access to the cabin seems to have been removed, presumably because it was rotting away.
0945 Llandudno - Manchester Airport on the embankment and viaduct over the Weaver and its navigation, passing the soon to be deactivated and removed semaphore signals.
RD8048. The signal box at the Hollycombe Steam Collection which is just outside Liphook in Hampshire. It came from nearby Liphook station.
The Collection comprises steam operated fairground rides and traction engines. There is also a 2’ gauge railway and a standard gauge railway although the latter is currently out of use.
The Collection is well worth a visit.

No. 7812 Erlestoke Manor departing from Bewdley past the signal box and fine display of signals controlling the entrance to the station and yard.
This was actually at the Hilltop Park in Signal Hill, I didn't get to explore other parts of the area such as Panorama Promenade since i was overwhilmed with the sunset and the beautiful clouds hovering above Long Beach. It was very foggy or smoggy as expected in socal, but it was still a great view.
This was by far one of my favorite photops that i did by myself, listening to my ipod and just... chilled

exposure blending via layering.. didn't do too good of a job with the people in the picture, i was trying avoid the ghosting..

Signal Hill History:
The hill that the city is named after is 365 feet (110 m) above the surrounding community of Long Beach. Because of this height, it was used by the local Tongva Indians for signal fires that could seen throughout the surrounding area and even out to Catalina Island, 26 miles (42 km) away.
After the Spanish discovered Alta California ("Upper California," or what is now the state of California), Signal Hill eventually became part of the first large rancho grant to be allotted under Spanish rule in Alta California. The Rancho San Pedro (Dominguez Rancho) land grant exceeded 74,000 acres (300 km2) as granted to a soldier, Juan Jose Dominguez, who accompanied Junipero Serra, by Governor Fages through authority of King Carlos III of Spain in 1784.
Between 1913 and 1923 an early California movie studio, Balboa Amusement Producing Company (also known as Balboa Studios) was located in Long Beach and used 11 acres (45,000 m²) on Signal Hill for outdoor locations. Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle were two of Balboa Studio actors who had films shot on Signal Hill.
Before oil was discovered in Signal Hill, there were large homes built on the hill itself, and in the lower elevations was an agricultural area where fruits, vegetables, and flowers were grown. Many of the truck farmers were Japanese.

Scan of a slide of the former B Box at Robertsbridge taken in 1994. I am assuming that this still stands as at the date of uploading (February 2022) but it is a long time since I've been to that neck of the woods. Some background from the internet:
"Robertsbridge Signalbox, on the SER main line to Hastings via Tonbridge and Wadhurst .... This station was, at one time, the junction station with the west end of the Kent & East Sussex Railway. This box is the sole survivor of the old Hastings line boxe .... Today it controls the line from north of Battle to north of Stonegate, working track circuit block with Tonbridge and Bopeep."

"As part of the mainline station complex, Robertsbridge signal box, originally Robertsbridge B has been on this site since 1894. It is still functioning until further upgrades to the network are likely to have those functions transferred."
