Oblivion towers above the X-Sector grounds, leaning forward into the immense pit at the base of its ultra-terranian elevation. The machine is seen here standing strangely dormant, waiting to be pushed into sinister action - more literally, the ride has broken down. This was the first time I'd seen or heard of it in this compromising position, but its image still remains invariably threatening.
This visit was a last minute decision on the way back from a trip further north. It's a stunning place. Exceedingly remote - to the point you wonder "is it *really* out here?!" - but definitely worth the visit. There are several arches (other than the one here in the byre, near the car park) and walking to them all is a fairly serious undertaking, but the nearest one is only a couple of miles away. There are 3 others I think, all on top of the surrounding hills. Part of the idea is that you can see the others from whichever one you're at.

Ivatt Class 2 46443 strides into Arley station with a Bridgnorth train. These locos were liked enough by footplate staff and management for them to be replicated in the new Standard classes in the early 50s as the 78XXX series.
Finally the top cover is fitted. The HP100LX on top of the machine is acting as the console terminal, it is one of the few devices I have that can handle 38400 baud.

Babylon, ca. 604-562 B.C. In molded and glazed brick, this colorful striding lion, its mouth opened in a threatening roar, once decorated a side of the "Processional Way" in ancient Babylon. The Processional Way led out of the city through a massive gate named for the Mesopotamian goddess of love and war, Ishtar, whose symbol was the lion. Each year, during the celebration of the great New Year Festival, the images of the city's gods were carried along the Processional Way, past some 129 lions such as this one, and out through the Ishtar Gate to a special festival house north of the city.
