My very temporary workbench in the HND studio at the School of Jewellery.
So glad to have dirty hands and somewhere to work again after such a long hiatus.

Using the temporary platform at Chorley, 185105 waits with 1N58 0929 Manchester Airport to Blackpool North and Barrow-in-Furness on 8th November 2016.
The platform was in use for a limited time whilst work was carried out on the normal structure in connection with the North West Electrification Programme work.
A temporary fence is being constructed along the equally temporary rokin bypass, likely for a bit of protection for the sidewalk cafes immediately next to it.
HFF!

Having won the contract to operate RE7 and RB42 services through Wuppertal fro December 2015, National Express found itself short of multiple unit trains so was forced to hire in temporary locomotive hauled replacements.
Siemens ES64 U2 locomotive, more commonly known as class 182, 182 530 is seen at Wuppertal Hbf with one such service.

Anther view of the temporary Frankford El segment. Note the "new" Frankford El segment at right. This was built to connect the new alignment in the Delaware Expressway median with the "original" El over Front Street.
The church in the background, just west (right) of the "new" El segment, is the (Roman Catholic) Church of the Immaculate Conception.
The location is just a bit east of Front Street, near Richmond Street (which is one block north of Allen Street). The camera is facing southward.
1976 April.
This is where Corinne is buried. She was my grandmother’s older sister, a marvel on the violin, who attended the Cornish School of Arts (just down the road from where she lies now) on scholarship (her family was not the sort that was able to afford tuition).
She died when she was 8 years old of meningitis. Her family buried her in the Spring rain of 1925. My grandmother was 7 when she stood beside her sister’s grave.
Seven years later they buried Ingebor, my grandmother’s grandmother, at the far opposite edge of Lakeview Cemetery. (Only the rich have the luxury of family plots.) There as here the ground is thick with paupers under pauper’s stones, all of them invisible. Rough cinder blocks with the names and dates of death roughly stamped in them. The birth is not noted, and if you want to see the stone at all you need a plot map and a trowel or you ask the nice man at the office to bring out a shovel. This is because the headstones of the poor are not maintained on the regular maintenance rounds and the sod soon reclaims them.
I can verify that there are dozen stones that run below those two large slabs from here all the way to the fence that edges the property close by. I can verify this because I dug them all up one wet Spring day with my trowel. My grandmother sat nearby offering color commentary, darkly wicked and witty, words I thought I could never possibly forget; words I wish I had written down because, of course, I’ve forgotten them all.
But not how she made me laugh, and how she sat there watching me work, a far away sadness in her eyes beneath the laughter; a faint hope that we would find what we were looking for; a set jaw that was prepared for disappointment.
I wish I could describe the light on her face when we finally found the stone.
This is where I asked them to lay the new stone this Summer, as Grama lay dying across town. The man at the office (his last name was very Guys and Dolls -- something like Detroit) was a bit baffled by the request as he ran the calculations; frustrated that the plots were far distant from one another (they wouldn’t be able to share a stone); graciously offering to run the numbers for children’s headstones (they’re smaller, less expensive); pointing me to the standard issue granite.
Still, as he punched the numbers into his 10-key and gave me the result he said: “There it is. I mean: that’s a trip.”
He didn’t mean a groovy trip. He meant: you could take that money and go to Hawaii.
The stones were installed within a month’s time. I stopped by to see them when I was in Seattle over this last weekend. They’re simple: I asked that they be carved verbatim to their temporary markers. I requested no ornament.
I simply wanted them to be seen.
p.s. The original markers? I had them shipped home. They’re in my backyard, under the big bluestem grasses.
This is what a finished loading track looks like. "Straight" and "level" are terms not often associated with these temporary installations laid directly on the peat. The ditch at left is the delineator between adjacent fields.

The Compass Point development around Saunders Ness Road and taking in Mariners Mews and Sextant Avenue was built in the mid-80s forming a quiet, neat upmarket estate on the Isle of Dogs.
As part of the development, two tall blocks of flats are abutted by full height cylindrical towers, framing and echoing the view of silos across the Thames and acting as a small reminder of the estate's industrial past.
Architect Sir Jeremy Dixon's Georgian-inspired designs were built on Dudgeon's Wharf, reclaimed after the closure of the docks.
At the end of Sextant Avenue, a memorial remembers the old Wharf - not for its years of hard labour in the service of heavy industry - but for a reason more poignant and tragic.
Forty years ago the world was looking skywards for news of Nasa's audicious mission to take Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Mike Collins to the moon.
On July 17, a day after Apollo 11 shot into the skies atop a cone of fire, another explosion took the lives of five fireman, the biggest loss of life suffered by the London Fire Brigade in peace time.
Dudgeon's was a ship building firm in the 1800s and was one of a cluster that prospered on the island - including names such as Ash, Stewart's and Samuda's. At its height, in the early 1860s, it is estimated that the firms on the Isle of Dogs employed up to 15,000 men and boys in the shipyards and engineering firms.
The most iconic of the ships built at these docks was Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Eastern, the largest ship ever built at the time of her launch in 1858.
But the Great Eastern was a last hurrah for ship building on the Thames. The rivers of the North were more efficient and labour and materials were cheaper and in double-quick time large firms of the Thames went bankrupt and tens of thousands were out of a job.
People starved, shipyards became wastelands and revival would take many long painful years.
Some shipbuilding survived by specialising - Yarrow built steam-powered gunboats while other firms turned to ship repair. Shipbuilding skills evolved. Workers produced a diverse range of goods including parts for major civil engineering projects - bridges and gas holders - as well as boilers, engine parts, tanks, propellers and wire rope. Other skills were cannabilised into new industries - sacks and tarpaulins, woodworking and paint, varnishes and chemicals.
Industry survived one way and another for another 100 years of so until the docks and their associated works began disappearing in the 1960s.
The arrival of containers - which London couldn't handle - in the late 60s finally rendered the docklands obsolete.
By the time of the 1969 tragedy, the wharf was a redundant "tank farm" with an array of a hundred or so containers for storing oils and spirit, some up to 200,000 gallons in size. However, these tanks were destined to go as part of the regeneration of the land and demolition contractors had received advice on how to take apart these structures safely.
The demolition was rife with danger and difficulties and firefighters had frequently attended the site after sparks from cutting gear ignited small fires.
Less than two weeks before the fatal explosion, 40 men with eight pumps had tackled a fire on waste oil in a derelict tank and now another call arrived at Millwall Fire Station at 11.21am alerting the emergency services to another fire.
Two appliances were sent from Millwall in F Division and another from Brunswick Road. A foam tender from East Ham was sent later along with a fireboat from Greenwich.
Station Officer Innard, believing the fire to be out when he arrived, decided to put a curtain of water into the open top manhole of Tank 97.
Four other officers joined him on top of the tank to feed in the water. Later reports concluded that this pull of water drew air into the tank, mixing with the flammable vapours.
SO Innard then decided to ensure there was no further fire by opening the bottom manhole. Unable to find a spanner to undo the nuts, it was suggested they should be burned off.
As soon as a workman applied the cutting flame of his torch to the first nut, the vapours inside the tank ignited immediately, blowing the roof off the tank, together with the five firefighters and a work man.
The explosion happened at 11.52. Three appliances were sent from Bethnal Green and Bow. Their role was to collect the bodies.
Remembering the tragedy on a brigade forum, one ex-firefighter wrote: "I had been in the job for seven years when this happened and it really shook us. As you say 'Never forgotten' especially from us guys who could have been involved. Rest easy, mates."

During the COVID-19 situation, Bellingham High School has become a rather fancy homeless shelter. Fancier than previous homeless shelters in Bellingham.
I'm sure it's still a hardship to be homeless, however. Having one's own space is a blessing. This is still shared space, but quite something to have a big fancy high school as a homeless shelter.
With schools closed and the need to maintain space between people for preventing virus spread in the community, this has come about. The large gyms are being used for sleeping and the fancy cafeteria / entrance (pictures here) is a day use, drop in headquarters.
Even if one lives in a gated community, surrounded by wealth, one can still be affected by the conditions faced by less fortunate folks in society. This virus can spread widely across the entire community.
A good use for the school since it isn't in normal use anyway. Students are said to be learning online.
Shelter will soon be moving down the street to the old this empty storefront.
The other three high schools in Bellingham are mostly idle as well, tho I read that they are distributing food and services to students. They aren't totally idle.
This is only a temporary image as I edited it on photobucket because I no longer have photoshop on my laptop (long story)
anyway photobuckets pretty rubbish to edit pictures in a subtle way but its to give an idea of the sort of look i'm going for.
I'm looking for someone
A miracle to send my life
In the curved air.
I'm a lonely boy
Stepping out
Solitary man.
I don't understand.
Life can be short or long
Tomorrow's another day.
I'm living underground
Like a teddy-boy.
I cross the rainbow
With millions of drivers at the traffic lights
Imprisoned and immobile in their cars;
When the traffic's low
In the city streets
Solitary then I go,
I go through the town.
I don't understand.
Life can be short or long
Tomorrow's another day.
I'm living underground
Like a teddy-boy.
From a nearby church's steeple
Hear the bells are ringing din dan don.

Another vantage point of the contractor's temporary work bridge ramp, which will allow heavy equipment to come into the median, without interrupting traffic on I-85. Next to the bridge are the southbound lanes on I-85 north of Poplar Tent Road.
Class 121 no W55020 of Chiltern Railways unloads in the short platform specially erected for three weekends of Risborough-Chinnor services. 'Ordinary' Chinnor and Princes Risborough services still terminate at Thame Junction, but with a special connection laid in CR's trains are able to pass on to Network rail metals and run into the station.
This platform line leads to the Down-side south sidings, reached via a reversal from the Thame Branch Siding that passes behind the signal box (and which is regularly used to reverse CR trains).

I posted a similar shot a few weeks ago, but this one was intended to commemorate the Labor Day weekend closure of the 80 year old San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. This four day closure involves cutting a soccer field sized section from the bridge and installing a bypass so that construction can be completed on a new span. The new span, not set to open until 2013, is a replacement for the span damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. And don't even get me started on how much this will cost or how long it is taking. Welcome to California.
For the terminally curious, this explains more of the details
