Part of the burnt out Springfield brewery in Wolverhampton.
This was the third location of the evening, and the only one we managed to gain access to. Total 115 miles driving and scouting around!
All good fun though, found ourselves stood on a quarry cliff in the dark, trying to gain access to an abandoned swimming pool, while hiding from a bobby on the beat, then finaly at Springfield brewery being hassled by a few local drunks!

Transplant resident and railfan extraordinaire Will Rasmussen met me down at the Springfield station for this southbound Amtrak, which was running about a half-hour behind, despite the high-speed segments on the line.
The Springfield Moss workshops on 2nd June 2015, where the company's fleet of around a dozen locos were overhauled. In for attention before the cessation of rail traffic following acquisition of the company by Westland Horticulture Ltd on 1st August 2015, was Alan Keef 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic L2 'Jeffrey' (W/No.19 of 1985) from the 2-ft gauge system at Auchencorth Moss. 'Jeffrey' was sold on for private preservation in Norfolk by September 2015. Westland Horticulture disbanded the four remaining railway systems at Auchencorth Moss, Cladance Moss (East Kilbride), Ryeflat Moss (near Carstairs) and Springfield Moss, and the last loco was finally disposed of in January 2017.

the customer area in the old section of the Springfield Post Office has been opened to the public. What a wonderful room.... Remember when public buildings were officious, serious and imposing? This is it!
Ceiling edgings are still vibrant and beautiful.
Considering Michael Jordan is my greatest player of all time, maybe it was time I put some of his photos on Flickr. What you think?
After a great vacation to to the Illinois state capitol Springfield, I have some new shots to share with everyone!

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President of the United States. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site, and the Lincoln Tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

The concept came to life during an event that started September 2017, to help raise funds to benefit downtown revitalization. It’s a pop up art event in where you can watch artists compete to create a mural in one day and unveil it during a reception party that night. Each year the murals change, making this a great spot to visit and wander through and take pics or the amazing artwork!

Researching projects for the upcoming Missouri National History Day. This "old-school" competition required students to use actual reference books that didn't come from the internet - a real learning experience based on their generation.
My favorite detail is the carpet-like effect created by the pigeon deterrents on the top of the sign.
