A westbound Southern Pacific train emerges from Tunnel 7, while entering Tunnel 6 on Main 1 near Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Tunnel 6 on Main 1 features the highest point on the original SP main line, crossing Donner Summit at 7,000 feet above sea level. The 1,659 ft. long bore, blasted out of solid granite, required nearly a year to complete, finished by August 1867.
Main 1 was removed from service by SP in 1993, and the ties and rails were repurposed to double track the Sunset Route. Today, the abandoned tunnels and snow sheds of Main 1 serve as a trail for curious hikers and railroad historians.

My favourite moments, waiting for a drenching, with enough light behind to promise some excitement ahead. Solid Air is by John Martyn.
Ickornshaw Moor is the area of moorland above Cowling village, including the hamlet of Ickornshaw, right up to the Lancashire border with the becks acting as natural boundaries. It is a beautiful moorland, with ever changing scenery through the seasons, traversed by footpaths and bridleways which can still be enjoyed today.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shipped solid rocket boosters from Thiokol Corporation in Corinne, Utah to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The 12-foot-wide, 150-ton segments were shipped by rail for 30 years. A clamshell-like cover, hinged at the top, protected the hardware throughout the journey. Fully loaded, a single segment car weighs in at 513,000 pounds.

I have been working through a few compositions over the last few weeks, but they never quite seemed to have a solid flow. Today a progression came to me and I just really liked the way it moved and sounded… hopeful to catch a video coming soon!

Over the holidays visited the Devon coast with a friend. I noticed the base of iron steps leading from the beach to the cliffs - hence the metal dove

The Lighthouse at New Brighton
The Original Perch Rock
Perch Rock, New Brighton Lighthouse, sits next to the fort, it was originally, a wooden "Perch", hence its name. A large post held a light on top and was supported by a sort of tripod. It was erected on the Black Rock in 1683 by the Liverpool Corporation.
When foreign ships, passed the old perch, they were charged sixpence for its respect and to keep it in repair. But it was often washed away and a boat had to be launched to recover it from Bootle Bay. In February 1821, the pilot boat "Liver" crashed into the perch and carried it away. It has been said that it was washed away in March 1824 and not recovered until the December.
However the cost of replacing it all the time grew too expensive and it was decided to build a new one.
Construction of the Lighthouse
The foundation stone of the new lighthouse was laid on 8th June 1827 by Thomas Littledale, Mayor of Liverpool. It was designed on the lines of Eddystone by Mr. Foster and built of marble rock from Anglesey by Tomkinson & Company. It rises 90 feet above the rocks and is considered to be a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The granite cost 1/6d a cubic foot.
Each piece of stone is interlocked into the next. The whole stonework, when finished , was coated with what is known as "Puzzellani" a volcanic substance from Mount Etna which, with age, becomes rock hard. The first 45 feet is solid. A spiral staircase leads to where the keeper lived and then on to the lantern house. The revolving light was said to be the first in the country. It cost £27,500 to construct.
The Lighthouse In Use
Work was only possible at low tide and it was not completed until 1830. Its first light shone on the 1st March of that yea and consisted of two white flashes, followed by one red, with a range of 14 miles. The light was 77 feet above the half-tide level. It was eventually electrically connected to the mainland.
The Lighthouse last shone its light on 1st October 1973 as it was no longer needed on account of the radar system operating in the River.
The Lighthouse Now
A local architect purchased the lighthouse for £100 on condition he maintained the construction, he tried to restore the lantern again but the river authorities thought it might cause confusion to local shipping. So he refurbished it so that anyone could stay there for a short holiday. Indeed, it was their idea to attract newly married couples to spend part of their honeymoon there at a cost of £50 a day, with champagne and flowers thrown in.
With electricity being introduced, the old lighthouse has a galley with cooker and refridgerator and, on the first floor, a bathroom with shower. There is a living room and a bedroom on the next two floors. The lighthouse even has a television, just in case one gets bored with looking at the sea. A ladder has to be obtained from the fort to gain the necessary height to reach the 15 iron rungs of the lighthouse as the door is 25 feet from the base.
Aqueduct of Segovia Spain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built around the first century AD to channel water from springs in the mountains 17 kilometres away to the city and was in use until 1973.
At Plaza de Díaz Sanz, it begins to form two monumental rows of arches, one on top of the other. There is no mortar or cement between the 20,400 blocks of stone, which remain standing solidly in a perfect balance of forces. The highest point of the construction is on Plaza del Azoguejo, where it is 28.10 m high, with a total of 167 arches.
