As seen from the rear of a Kimball-bound Brown Line 'L' train, a 1970s-built interlocking tower oversees the CTA action at Clark Junction in Chicago's bustling Lakeview neighborhood. The steelwork to the left supported the small Clark Street station until a 1948 service change that eliminated dozens of minor 'L' stops across the system. The original Clark Junction interlocking tower was integrated with the former station, and was closed in 1976.
After Tower 18 on the Loop Elevated downtown, Clark Junction is the busiest interlocking on the CTA rail system. During rush periods, northbound track 3 at the junction sees over 40 trains an hour, split about evenly between Red and Brown Line movements. Quoting from chicago-l.org: "to put this in proper context, there is a comparable short section at Aldgate North Junction, one of the busiest on the London Underground, that sees 30 trains an hour." In 2002, 876 trains passed through Clark Junction every weekday, and that number has only increased in recent years. There are plans to ease congestion here with a flyover replacing the flat junction, but the scheme is controversial because it would require demolition of several adjacent buildings in what has become a very busy and fashionable neighborhood.

Le palais de Dioclétien est l'attraction la plus célèbre de Split et un site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Même si l'histoire n'est pas votre tasse de thé (ce n'est sûrement pas mon cas), vous serez époustouflé par cet endroit !
Cet impressionnant vestige de l'architecture romaine remonte au IVe siècle. Si certaines parties des anciens murs subsistent encore aujourd'hui, le palais n'a pas de frontières claires et ses vestiges occupent une grande partie de la vieille ville de Split, avec des bâtiments plus récents, des bars et des boutiques disséminés entre eux et autour d'eux.
Le palais de Dioclétien n'est donc pas un palais au sens habituel du terme, mais plutôt une ville fortifiée qui a été habitée et transformée en ce qui est aujourd'hui le centre-ville de Split. Il n'y a pas d'entrée, ce qui signifie qu'il n'y a pas de droits d'entrée ni d'heures d'ouverture. Le palais fait partie de la ville et la ville fait partie du palais.
À la base, le palais de Dioclétien était un complexe résidentiel et militaire. Vous pourrez y découvrir les vestiges de plus de 200 bâtiments romains encore debout aujourd'hui. Le péristyle (cour centrale), le vestibule (antichambre circulaire) et les caves (Podrumi) comptent parmi les curiosités les plus époustouflantes du palais de Dioclétien. Nous allons nous pencher un peu plus sur chacun d'entre eux !
/The Diocletian’s Palace is the most famous attraction in Split and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even if history isn’t really your cup of tea (it surely isn’t mine), you’ll be blown away by this place!
This impressive Roman architectural remain dates back to the 4th century. While parts of the old walls still stand today, the palace has no clear borders and its remains take up much of Split’s old city, with newer buildings, bars and shops scattered in between and around it.
So the Diocletian’s Palace isn’t a palace in the usual sense of the word, but more like a fortified town that’s been lived into and morphed into what is the city center of Split today. There is no entrance, meaning there aren’t any entrance fees nor are there any opening hours. The palace is part of the city and the city is part of the palace.
At it’s core, the Diocletian’s Palace used to be a residential and military complex. Here you’ll be able to explore the remains of over 200 Roman buildings that are still standing today. Among the more breathtaking sights in the Diocletian Palace are the Peristyle (central courtyard), the Vestibule (a circular anteroom) and the Podrumi (the cellars). Let’s dig a little bit deeper into each of these!

In late 1967, the second generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) was introduced. It was built in West Germany until 1979. In Mexico, the Volkswagen Kombi and Panel were produced from 1970 to 1994. Models before 1971 are often called the T2a (or "Early Bay"), while models after 1972 are called the T2b (or "Late Bay").
The second generation T2 lost the trademark split windscreen, losing the early nickname the Splittie in the process, and were instead referred to as Breadloaf and Bay-window, or Loaf and Bay for short. It was slightly larger and considerably heavier than the earlier model. Initially powered by a 1593cc engine of 47bhp and with the elecrical system now 12 volt.The new model also did away with the swing axle rear suspension and transfer boxes previously used to raise ride height. Instead, half-shaft axles fitted with constant velocity joints raised ride height without the wild changes in camber of the Beetle-based swing axle suspension. The T2A was updated as a T2B for 1971 the first models featured rounded bumpers incorporating a step for use when the door was open (replaced by indented bumpers without steps on later models), front doors that opened to 90° from the body, no lip on the front guards, unique engine hatches, and crescent air intakes in the D-pillars (later models after the Type 4 engine option was offered, have squared off intakes), early T2Bs featured a new, 1.6 L engine of 50bhp . For 1972 the 1.6ltr engine was dropped in favour of 1.7 and 2.0 ltr engines and a redesigned rear end which eliminated the removable rear apron. The rear air inlets were also enlarged to enable extra cooling

Remember, this is one of the up-and-coming contenders for the New Seven Wonders of the World contest. I wish it were based more on science than "popularity" as we have a small population. But, read about it, and you can see why it really is a wonder: votemyfundy.com/

Split [split] (italienisch Spalato, entstanden aus griechisch ἀσπάλαθος, aspálathos) ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kroatiens. Sie ist die größte Stadt Südkroatiens und gilt daher im Volksmund als „Hauptstadt Dalmatiens“, ohne dass ihr dieser Status je offiziell zugesprochen wurde. Die Stadt ist Verwaltungssitz der Gespanschaft Split-Dalmatien (kroatisch Splitsko-dalmatinska županija), die den zentralen Teil Dalmatiens umfasst. Split zählte 2011 etwa 167.000 Einwohner.[1] Dies entsprach 3,885 Prozent der gesamten Bevölkerung Kroatiens.[2]
Split ist eine bedeutende Hafenstadt und Sitz der katholischen Erzdiözese Split-Makarska. In Split befindet sich zudem die Universität Split. Die Ursprünge der Stadt sind auf den Diokletianspalast zurückzuführen. Die Innenstadt von Split mitsamt dem Diokletianspalast wurde 1979 von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt.
It's been bittersweet since we arrived in Nelson due to the weather but this is one of the highlight of our trip.This is a (short) long exposure shot of Split Apple Rock, which is located just south of the Abel Tasman National Park, between Kaiteretere and Marahau. After a 10 minutes walk down through some bush you come out to a long stretch of deserted golden sand, with the unmistakable Split Apple Rock sitting just off shore.
We arrived just after sunrise (which meant it was dark when had to walk down through the bush!). So many treasures, but best of all: treasured memories, made with your friends whole love and share the same interest!!!!
