Jalebi follows humanities long standing standard formula for happiness - three parts sugar, one part fat - heat and enjoy! My kids loved these when they were there, I think every time we saw them they wanted to stop. Here on a work trip I stopped, but only for a photo! Enjoy these virtual Jalebies!
Sports fans in some cities get an extra show during night games: kestrels perching on light standards or foul poles, tracking moths and other insects in the powerful stadium light beams and catching these snacks on the wing. Some of their hunting flights have even made it onto TV sports coverage.
The Other Side of Town (a photo series)
This photo shows the ghosted remnants of the Standard Oil Company logo clinging to this weathered facade on East Nevada Street in Marshalltown, Iowa. The grand old building stands as a silent eulogy to an era of unbridled Midwestern industrial dominance. However, decades of harsh Iowa weather have slowly bleached away the corporate emblem, transforming a once-ubiquitous mark of economic certainty into a faint, bleeding artifact of the past. Now abandoned, it is a portrait of corporate transience, with the vanishing emblem serving as a powerful visual metaphor for shifting global monopolies and the hollow architecture left in their wake.
About the Project
The Other Side of Town series invites you to closely examine the overlooked- and perhaps even avoided spaces around us. In photographing these scenes, my focus was on the striking tension between these enduring structures and the haunting absence of the people who built, inhabited, and worked within them.
Empty streets, abandoned homes, industrial areas, and neglected structures serve as portraits of culture, mapped through the traces we leave behind. Within these frames, the ordinary and the unsightly acquire an unexpected beauty- revealing powerful visual metaphors for transience, social inequality, and the lingering echo of human presence.
Looking through this series of photos may encourage you to see your own hometown differently. Ultimately, these overlooked surroundings may reveal more about our collective psyche and the unsettled time that we inhabit- maybe more than we realize- or care to admit.

The Standard Ten was a model name given to several small cars produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1906 and 1961. The name was a reference to the car's fiscal horsepower or tax horsepower, a function of the surface area of the pistons. This 1934 Standard 10, WF 6766, is seen arriving at the Pre-War Prescott event on 11th September 2021.

NS 8817 leads a very late 211 through one of the few secluded areas near metro Atlanta on a brisk September evening.
eastern Standard Time is a favourite by The Skatalites. I went to a rum and reggae night in Cardiff last night, it was great fun. I would have preferred a few more older classics but iot was great to see so many people all enjoying reggae. I'm coming to the end of my adder obsession and now am in the middle of y High brown Fritillary larval obsession. It's going really well I'veseen well over thirty, and good numbers in all the areas we've done management for them. Hopefully it should mean it'llbe a good year for the adults. This was a photo from earlier in the year in changeable weather, which is what we're in a spell of at the moment.
A typical hot and muggy Pennsylvania summer afternoon greets a returning Altoona RailFest excursion as it cruises down grade past MG Tower in June of 2009. For a moment, one could almost believe this was still the "Standard Railroad of the World."
It's always nice to have a standard cab leader, especially on the point of an intermodal. This day's CN X120 heads east towards Montreal through the shadows at Newtonville Rd. near Port Granby, ON.
A pair of SD60's lead priority intermodal train Q148 through the signals at Hardy Road in Brantford.
Gold Standard. Hmmm. I am always suspicious of self promotion. Best Burger in town, best coffee, pizza, poutine in town. These are statements, which I do not put much faith in. I did not try. They may be the best, but sometimes GS is just BS. This store is selling $6 sandwiches. Not expensive for Toronto, but nothing special, nothing I could not make at home.

This is photo book number 22 that I have produced using Blurb after one of our big trips away. I can recommend this company for a top quality product, accurate colouring and a great finish. They have standard page layouts but you can also create your own page layouts with ease. I have only had two minor problems in the past and on both occasions they have produced a new book FOC. Most of our followers on Flickr will have seen most of the images which are in the book but it can be viewed on line at

Just updated the link I forgot to make it public it should now work !!!!!!!
At the moment unable to load new images due to our main computer in for repair so just done this image on our laptop. Hopefully it should be repaired by next Friday and I can access my new images which are stored.
The Peugeot 404 is a large family car produced by French automobile manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1975.
A truck body style variant was marketed until 1988.
Styled by Pininfarina, the 404 was offered initially as a saloon, estate, and pickup. A convertible was added in 1962, and a coupé in 1963. The 404 was fitted with a 1.6 litre petrol engine, with either a Solex carburetor or Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection or a 1.9 litre diesel engine available as options. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show as an option was the inclusion of a 3-speed ZF automatic transmission, similar to the unit already offered on certain BMW models, as an alternative to the standard column-mounted manual unit.
Popular as a taxicab, the 404 enjoyed a reputation for durability and value.
The 404 was manufactured under licence in various African countries until 1991 (in Kenya) and was manufactured in Argentina by Safrar/Sevel in El Palomar; in Québec, Canada at the St-Bruno-de-Montarville Sociéte de Montage Automobile (SoMA) Ltd. plant (1965–1968); in New Zealand by Campbell Industries; in Australia by Renault Australia Pty. Ltd.; and in Chile by Automotores Franco Chilena S.A. in Los Andes. Peugeot's French production run of 1,847,568 404s ended in 1975.
A total of 2,885,374 units had been produced worldwide at the end of production.
As the model was designed by Pininfarina, the bodyshell is very similarly styled to the one used in the 1959 Austin Westminster.
A triplet of CSX standard cabs, lead by CSX 8881, lead Q507 south past the B&O CPL at Troy, OH. Q507 takes the place of Q511, and makes the run from Detroit Rougemere to Cincinnati Queensgate, with blocks of cars bound for AK Steel.
I took a white rose from a bunch of roses I bought at the weekend and put it in a black ceramic bottle and placed it in front of a standard lamp with a red lampshade.
After dumping ballast at Sanborn, this trio of standard cabs race this ballast train east towards Waseca. Powering this train is CP SD40-2s 6017 & 6073 and ECO 5025, right by downtown Sleepy Eye (4/25/2025)
Enough reminiscing about the extreme cold that isn't really my thing. Let's go back to warm sunshine on the Missabe's Iron Range Division in 2003. Was a beautiful May day, with pairs of clean maroon tunnel motors all day long.
Here the DM&IR standard I/D train of two SD40-3s have just weighed out and departed Highland, passing Lauren, MN on the gorgeous evening of May 31, 2003. DMIR 406 and 409 lead the 116 cars of Minntac pellets starting to head down the grade on their last leg, 13 miles from Two Harbors.
While we knew this was too good to last (the CN takeover would be announced five months in the future), I never would have predicted back then that these same two tunnel motors would last into 2019 still hauling Minnesota iron ore!
TRRA took over the provision of power for the Madison-to-Lindenwood Turn from BNSF just a bit too late for the switch back to Central Standard Time, as it does every year about this time. Nevertheless, good results can be had. Here, westbound T201 takes the signal at Grand Blvd in St. Louis, on its way to BNSF.
Seen at the Classic Car & Bike Meet at Towcester Racecourse in Northamptonshire on 14 July 2021 is this 1958 Standard Pennant.

Kuldīga's brick bridge over the Venta river is one of the symbols of Kuldīga. The bridge is located about 200 m below the Venta Rapid Since 1998, it has been an architectural monument of national importance. The bridge is the third longest brick bridge in Europe and the second oldest brick arch bridge in Latvia. It was built between 1873 and 1874 and cost 120,000 rubles.
The brick bridge over the Venta has been in service since 1874 and was designed by Oto DÄ«ce. It is built according to 19th century road standards. The 164 m long seven-span brick masonry arch bridge on boulder supports was not only the largest and most luxurious in Latvia, but also one of the most modern in Europe. The bridge was illuminated by lanterns in 6 decorative cast-iron lampposts with bases cast in the shape of fish. At that time, the achievements in bridge construction were clearly evidenced by the width of the bridge, which was sufficient for two carriages driving towards each other to move along it at the same time.
During the First World War in 1915, two spans of the bridge on the right bank were destroyed. In 1926, they were restored in reinforced concrete.
In 1958, the stone pavement of the bridge was covered with asphalt.
Already at the end of the 90s of the 20th century, the Kuldīga arch bridge over the Venta required extensive restoration. In August 2007, upon the order of the Kuldīga City Council, restoration works were started. According to the agreed project, the reconstruction of the building structures and engineering communications strengthening the bearing capacity of the bridge was carried out, as well as the external decoration of the bridge was partially restored. On August 28, 2008, after more than a year of restoration, the bridge was officially opened.
This was a gift from a Russian friend. I'm not much of a drinker so it's been sitting around for over a year - unopened! But I hear it's best served right out of the freezer with a couple of close buddies ;-)

With the coming of the equinox, the Dogwoods are blooming in the spring weather as eastbound NS freight train 18M rumbles out of Huger Tunnel with its usual gaggle of motive power on the point, including the standard cab GE leading on the afternoon of April 25, 2015, near Superior, WV.

BR Standard class 2 2-6-0 nos. 78019 & 78018 catch the afternoon sun as they pass Woodthorpe heading 1A26, the 13.15 departure from Loughborough Central to Leicester North, during the GCR 'Last Hurrah' steam Gala.
The JY local passes over the Hi Line Bridge in Valley City. Figured it would be worth a shot with the longer train this time around.
Eastern Standard Time is a favourite Skatalites track, and as these are the eastern fells of the Lakes it's fine. I was so lucky to get such lovely views. Took me back to all my winter climbs and walks .

A standard cab SD60 approaches North End Morgantown in Bowling Green, Kentucky on CSX Q211. The siding here is being extended to 4 miles long, as a part of the Summer 2016 project for the Mainline Subdivison to be able to handle DPU-trains. Three sidings were extended, Cave City, Morgantown (renamed to Bowling Green), and Mitchellville. Bowling Green was extended to the south end of Memphis Junction Yard, and a new control point was added, Memphis Junction CP. At South End Bowling Green, double crossovers were added.
