In September 2017, we spent 11 days of hiking and packrafting in the unspoiled wilderness of southern Greenland between the magnificent Tasermiut fjord and the remote settlement of Aappilattoq, searching for beautiful landscapes, moods of solitude, and enjoying a true deep north adventure.
Certainly, we were far from being the first to cross these lands, however we hadn't met anyone during our 10-days hike across the pathless terrain; we just saw a few footsteps of previous adventurers in the sand.
No paths, no huts, no GSM signal, no means of civilization; this is a harsh northern landscape that requires enough stamina, experience, mental strength and patience to be crossed over. For those who don't retreat, however, the experience is very rewarding: a unique mix of isolation, exploration and adventure.

During the second day in the area, we explored the central part of Tasermiut fjord (northern shore) with stunning views of Ketil, Ulamertorsuaq and Nalumasortoq peaks, and enjoyed Aurora Borealis performance during the evening.
Went up on Signal Hill this past week with one of the younger guys from my church. He's been getting into photography a little bit so I gave him one of my D90 bodies and we went out shooting. Not a great sunset, but we had some nice light for a while and it was a lovely evening so can't complain really. Got a couple of shots that I was happy with so figured I would share.
All shot with my D90 and 17-55mm f/2.8 lens.
The Highland Railway Co. Mk3 signal box at Strathcarron West was located on the eastbound platform. The box of wooden construction only had 10 levers and dated from 1893, it lasted in use until 1st July 1984 when it was closed as part of the RETB resignalling scheme deployed on the Inverness to Kyle line.

Greenville Engineering staff install radar-based detectors to improve signal changes at Fire Tower Rd and Ashcroft Dr on Wednesday, November 2.
The radar-based detectors replace in-pavement loops that are prone to failure, and initiate signal changes more effectively when a vehicle approaches a stoplight.

Note: The new current G.D.P. route travelled Southbound Broadway and made a left turn at Eastbound West Cesar E. Chavez Avenue and ENDS at a right turn into Southbound Spring Street Olvera Street for parade floats disbanding zone since February 2007 to February 2012 but now this Golden Dragon Parade route on Southbound Broadway turns right to Westbound Cesar E. Chavez Avenue and ENDS at North Hill Street overpass bridge and North Grand Avenue for parade floats disbanding zone since February 2013 to present. The former G.D.P. route was on Northbound Broadway (ended here until 2000) from Cesar E. Chavez Avenue to Bernard Street and Southbound Hill Street at Ord Street took place here until 2006.

Here we see the very traditional looking Rigton Signal Box. It was built in 1873 and is a NES1a design of box. The box has 6 levers:
1 = Down Home
2 = Down Distant
3 = Spare
4 = Up Distant
5 = Up Home
6 = Gate Locks
This box also has inboard distant levers which means that the levers are in the order they are pulled off rather than in the order that the driver will see them. This was common across the LNER another example of this would be Oxmardyke.
All signals controlled by the box are colour lights and the level crossing barriers are worked from a gate wheel inside the box.
The box works Absolute Block to Harrogate and Horsforth Signal Boxes. The box was originally a Gate Box but as other Signal Boxes along the line were closed it became a block post.
Unfortunately along with Horsforth, this box will probably have been closed by the end of 2012 with all control going to a new panel at Harrogate signal box. This is part of the resignalling that will see the closure of all boxes between Leeds and York via Harrogate within the next few years with control eventually all going to York IECC and York IECC is going to close when the new Rail Operating Centre at York opens. This will be 1 of 14 regional operating centres proposed by Network Rail to replace over 800 signal boxes nationwide.

Looking north on 19th Avenue across Taraval. From the November, 1940 California Highways and Public Works.
Nice street lights. That must have been a very awkward intersection during the time when half of it was wide and half of it was narrow. I think I would have waited to install the median until the width was uniform.
Signals long forgotten guard the waterside drill track coming into Emeryville, CA., from Berkeley, CA. Today this signal sees trains by the dozen, but over the rails and switch it guards. One day soon, Union Pacific and the State of California want to enhance access into the Port of Oakland, and this signal may see traffic again!

laden to the brim with water,
I trundle across the vast skies,
my path slowed by protruding mountain rock,
I bask in the rays of the setting sun,
and serve as your reliable weather cock,
I build, I gather, I grow,
I darken, I lighten, I glow
and then I release my full load,
unto thy waiting lands below.

The permissible speeds for station routes and the open line in Denmark are prescribed in the TIB ("Appendix to the Working Timetable). The colour light signals indicate just a speed range which is specified in TIB. Certainly the information of the fixed signals and TIB is superseded by a ATC cab indication ...
Special signal heads for diverging routes: these signals are very rare and give no turnout/ speed information if the aspect is shown at an angle of 45° like British or some American signals. This special appearance is used only to give a direction indication, e. g. to avoid that a freight train is headed to a platform line. I guess, there are just a hand full signals with this special appearance!
I stopped by the Amtrak depot in Beaumont, Texas while I was working there for a few days, and noticed a green signal on the dwarf. A few minutes later a BNSF Oil Train appeared. This is at CP LF980.
This is a rare signal for two reasons: 1.) one of the few remaining installations with 12-8-8 signals left in Arlington 2.) One of the even fewer with tunnel visors.
UPDATE: These were replaced by 12 inch signals in November 2010
Older Eagle traffic signals along TX 7 at TX 6 Business in Marlin, Texas. This is somewhat of an anomaly since most Texas signals are pole-mounted horizontal signals
A great signal generator that can be had for a very reasonable price. Thousands of these were made and many found their way to Canadian high schools as part of the electronics program. Also available in the Starkit name could be purchased in kit form and assembled by the end user. This is my everyday signal generator.
Also slotted with Chapel Road CR2 signal. Chapel Road crossing is just visible under the bridge. Also visible are a couple of new signals awaiting the resignalling in early 2019.
As a method of time-keeping that began in 1806, the noon gun on Signal Hill is still a popular alarm in Cape Town today. The firing of cannons from Signal Hill served to fulfil many maritime purposes, such as signalling distress calls or calibrating on-board time-keeping mechanism.
