28 June 1986 was the annual Lytham Club Day. A procession took place during the morning which saw the main town roads closed. Most buses terminated on Woodville Terrace adjacent to Lowther Gardens. This would include Fylde buses on the 4 to St. Annes and 11A to Blackpool and buses on the 22/22A to Cleveleys. Several duplicates were provided to cope with club day crowds and here Fylde 77 - the sole survivor of Lytham's three 1970 Atlanteans is parked up awaiting an opportunity to assist. By this time 77 was the last DD to retain blue, white and yellow livery and was repainted later in the year.
Drivers are now following a newly aligned section of highway west of Devonshire Road in Montesano. The temporary roadway configuration gives the crews room to remove and replace the culvert that has been identified as a barrier to fish passage.

On September 26, 2012, we had a temporary house guest--a sweet little female Goldfinch who got disoriented and flew into the slider door between my deck & my sunroom. She flew off, into the yard, but Duane saw her take a hard landing on the grass under the apple tree. We followed her into the yard, where we found her sitting quietly in the grass--not a very safe place to recover, since we have neighborhood cats and foxes. Duane gently scooped her into his hands & she flew out, but lit again on the grass. We decided she was, probably, in shock. To give her some time & a safe place to recover, I went to get our emergency bird box. We bedded her down & left her to herself in the covered box for about ten minutes. Then, Duane took the cover off. She was sitting up, with her wings in proper position. When she saw me approach to take her picture, she looked at me and flexed her muscles. She gave me one shot & then flew off, through the deck railing and into the back woods. I love happy endings!
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken by the end of the 3rd week of September, 2017.
The levels of activity have fluctuated along this stretch of the riverbank, and especially around the Irish Rail bridge, informed by the tides and priorities.
Since Summer 2016, this is where the heavy-duty engineering works have been taking place.
This is a section of the flood protection scheme that I have not covered in detail -- it's inconvenient for me to access, and others cover it much better.
Standing on the new riverside walkway alongside Seapoint Court, we could see construction activity sited along the Ravenswell Road, temporarily closed due to on-going works.
That was the site of the old Bray Golf Club -- hotly contested as a (potentially) poorly considered as a site for a shopping centre development complex, and still an area of ground that has to act as a flood plain in the event of tidal surges.
As well as raising a heightened flood protection wall, they've created an access ramp down to the riverside.
The area in the background, site of the old Bray Golf course, was both a works compound and vehicle route for the transportation of material to/from the other sectors along the River Dargle involved in construction works.
By now, most of the heavy works have been completed.
Along the Ravenswell Strip, the guys are now accessorising the wall, creating viewing platforms along this ('to be') pedestrianised walkway.
=========================================================
Between Bray Bridge and the Railway Bridge there was a wooden footbridge linking Ravenswell Road and the Seapoint Road, this bridge was built at the time of the railway coming to Bray.
It closed in 1870 and was removed shortly afterwards.

==========================================================
The Irish Rail Bridge, Bray Harbour:
Phase 1 flood defence works to the Irish Rail bridge commenced in August 2016.
Phase 2 flood defence works will be completed during May to September 2017. This work is being undertaken directly by Irish Rail.
The work includes strengthening the integrity of the bridge by creating buttresses around the base of each pillar.
To do this they have to pile-drive sheets into the river bedrock.
The work is complicated by;
(a) the need not to damage or disturb in any way the actual bridge itself (Irish Rail train and DART carriages pass overhead on an hourly basis), (b) the confined spaces under the bridge, and (c) the twice-daily rising tides from Bray Harbour which spill upriver into the newly expanded basin.
The length of the Ravenswell Road is to be landscaped into a pedestrian 'experience', with plants, seating and viewing points created in the sea-wall. I think this might link up with a new road and pathway being constructed around to Little Bray.
Through the past few weeks/months, we can see the construction in and around the Irish Rail bridge, where new and extensive reinforced concrete collars are built up to support the existing support pillars/piers. The river and sea beds are also engineered to control the flow of tides and river flows.

Standing on an access bridge, adjacent to the Bray Boxing Club (from whence sprang Katie Taylor, and others of illustrious note), looking back up the river, towards the town direction.
That was the site of the old Bray Golf Club -- hotly contested as a (potentially) poorly considered as a site for a shopping centre development complex, and still an area of ground that has to act as a flood plain in the event of tidal surges.
As well as raising a heightened flood protection wall, they've created an access ramp down to the riverside.
The area in the background, site of the old Bray Golf course, was both a works compound and vehicle route for the transportation of material to/from the other sectors along the River Dargle involved in construction works.
A new (public) access road has been built, linking Little Bray, cutting through Ravenswell (old Bray Golf Course), and coming out under a previously (under)used bridge adjacent to the old factories/warehouses complex on the northside of Bray Harbour.
Not sure that proposal was wholeheartedly welcomed, and not sure how 'open' the access will be on a regular basis.
In common with experiences of other sections along the Dargle riverside, there have been long-standing complaints of 'undesirable behaviour' (drink/drugs) hereabouts.
Will this facilitate or ameliorate the behaviour?

Rail
Limerick city is served by the Limerick Suburban Rail network, consisting of three suburban rail lines, servicing the towns of Sixmilebridge(1,500), Ennis(25,000), Castleconnell(4,000), Birdhill, Nenagh(9,000) and Tipperary town (5,000).
Iarnród Éireann's Colbert Station is the terminus for frequent services to Dublin and Cork (serving many intermediate stations), a frequent all-day commuter service to Ennis, as well as a three-times daily service to Waterford and stations in County Tipperary. Services to and from Nenagh on the Ballybrophy line will be expanded to include commuter service from 2007. There are also plans to reopen the Western Railway Corridor from Ennis to Galway and Sligo, closed in the 1970s. In February 2006 it was announced that regular services between Limerick and Galway will be restored in 2007. There are also plans to reopen Sixmilebridge station shortly after. Many rail services include a changeover at Limerick Junction. The Railway Procurement Agency has suggested that a tram system should be built in the city.
As part of their 2007 election manifesto (announced in April 2007), Fianna Fáil (currently the largest party in the Dáil and the Seanad) have announced they will conduct feasibility studies for bringing light rail systems to the Republic of Ireland's 'provincial cities' - Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford.
Limerick railway station was opened on 28 August 1858, replacing an earlier, temporary station 500m east, which had operated from 9 May 1848. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(city)#Buses ]

Hundertwasser Haus (Vienna)
Hundertwasser House 2007
Facade of Hundertwasser house
The Hundertwasser House is a from 1983 to 1985 of the City of Vienna constructed residential building and it is located at the corner Kegelgasse 34-38 and Löwengasse 41-43 in the third District of Vienna, country road (Landstraße).
History
The Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser dealt since the 1950s with architecture. He began his involvement with manifestos, essays and demonstrations. Particularly became known his Mouldiness Manifesto. In 1972 he exhibited in the Eurovision Contest broadcast "Wünsch dir Was" (make a wish come true) architecture models with which he illustrated his ideas of the roof forestation, the tree tenants and the window right and architectural forms such as the high-meadows-house, eyes slit house or terrace house. In lectures at universities and architects associations and offices Hundertwasser talked about his concern of an architecture that is more natural and more appropriate for human beings.
In a letter dated of 30 November 1977 to the mayor of Vienna Leopold Gratz, recommended Chancellor Bruno Kreisky to give Hundertwasser the opportunity to put his concerns in the field of architecture in the construction of a residential building in practice. Gratz invited Hundertwasser thereupon by letter dated of 15 December 1977 to create a house in Vienna to his ideas. It followed the years-long search for a suitable property. Since Hundertwasser was not an architect, he asked the City of Vienna, beizustellen (to provide) him an architect who would be willing to transpose his concept into adequate plan drawings.
A conflictual cooperation
The city administration procured Hundertwasser the architect Josef Krawina. This one presented Hundertwasser in August and September 1979 his preliminary designs, based on the then valid rules for social housing as well as a Styrofoam model, however, corresponding to the architectural concept of the closed construction and which Hundertwasser shocked rejected because it corresponded exactly to the rectilinear and leveling grid architecture, against the he had always fought. Hundertwasser wanted a "house for people and trees", just as he had described years earlier in his text "Verwaldung (forestation) of the City": in his model of the "terrace house" for the program "Make a wish" he had already visualized this house.
It succeeded Hundertwasser still 1979 to win the City of Vienna for his concept of a green terrace construction and thus for exceptions from the building regulations, normally applicable. In March 1980 followed a second preliminary draft Krawinas' along with associated perspective or axonometric drawings and an accompanying balsa wood model. Krawina developed in the process under intense utilization of the granted legal options a from the building regulations considerably differing structure shell where a consensus could be found. This structure shell was left substantially unchanged over all planning steps and also came actually to execution.
"Subsequently, there were clashes between Hundertwasser and Krawina, which escalated in the design of the facade. The controversy led to the resignation Krawinas' from cooperation on 14th October in 1981. "The artist in a letter had turned to Rudolf Kolowrath, Head of the Municipal Department 19 (Architecture), asking him to replace the architect so that he could realize his own ideas. Architect Peter Pelikan, an employee of the Municipal Department 19, took over the further planning. He became for hundreds of water (Hundertwasser) a long-term partner for numerous other construction projects. The Supreme Court stated out but in 2010 on the occasion of a long-standing dispute over the authorship of the building: "The opinion of the Court of Appeal, architect Krawina and Hundertwasser were co-authors , [ ... ] is based on comprehensible conclusions from the proceedings for the evidence procedure [ ... ]"
2001 Krawina by the H. B. Media distribution company mbH could be convinced to claim that the "Hundertwasser House" was his work. After an eight-year process, the Supreme Court decided on 11 March 2010: "The fact that Krawina own creative contributions has provided to the building, there is, according to further evidences by the assessment of the legal expert, no doubt, on it the Court of Appeal based its applying legal view of a co-authorship Krawinas': "Since then it is now necessary in the distribution of illustrations or replicas of the house to mention Joseph Krawina next Hundertwasser as co-author.
Characteristics of the house
The according to the concept and the ideas of Friedensreich Hundertwasser designed, by Josef Krawina as co-author and Peter Pelikan planned, colorful and unusual house has in the hallways uneven floors and is lavishly planted. In 1985 about 250 trees and shrubs were planted and are now thanks to the care of tenants and representatives of the owners grown to stately trees, - a real park on the roof of the house.
The house does not follow the usual standards of architecture. Hundertwasser's role models are clearly visible: among others, Antoni GaudÃ, the Palace idéal of Ferdinand Cheval, the Watts Towers, the anonymous architecture of the allotment gardens and those of the storybooks. The house has 52 apartments and four shops, 16 private and three communal roof terraces. The media response to the building was worldwide enormous. In Vienna, the Hundertwasser Krawina house is among the most photographed tourist attractions.
"A painter dreams of houses and a beautiful architecture in which man is free and this dream becomes reality".
- Hundertwasser
Other buildings of Hundertwasser
The artist designed some 40 buildings, of which several houses, also popularly known as "Hundertwasser house (Hundertwasserhaus)". Located less than 400 meters away from the Hundertwasser House in Vienna, in the Lower Weißgerberstraße 13, is the in 1991 opened and after designs by Hundertwasser and Peter Pelikan planned Kunsthaus Vienna (KunstHausWien), where in addition to temporary exhibitions a permanent Hundertwasser retrospective is offered.
Similar buildings were in cooperation of Friedensreich Hundertwasser with architect Peter Pelikan and Heinz M. Springmann, among others, in Bad Soden am Taunus, Darmstadt (Forest Spiral), Frankfurt am Main, Magdeburg (Green Citadel of Magdeburg), Plochingen (Living Beneath the Rain Tower), Wittenberg (Luther-Melanchthon-Gymnasium), Bad Blumau (Rogner Bad Blumau), Israel, Switzerland, the United States, Osaka in Japan and New Zealand realized.

My limited range of herbs and spices, until we move into the new house
Arriva have recently taken the 48 from Stagecoach. The route was intended to convert to LT at the same time, but the buses haven't been delivered yet so it's started with mainly DW operation, of which DW238 here is a typical example.
As a token gesture a few LTs have been mustered from a PVR reduction elsewhere but these DB300s will be the mainstay of the route for a few weeks yet.
The bus is seen at Leyton Bakers Arms, right outside Costa Coffee! 29/3/17.
Davis, Starlight, SF, BART, Commutes, San Jose, 12 Feb 1974
Lincoln's Birthday was school holiday in 1974, and a friend and I took advantage of the day off to take a trip to San Francisco.
BART has recently started running and we wanted to have a first ride on BART, and we also wanted to record the SP's commute operations at Third and Townsend Street station, which was in its last year or so of operation before being replaced by the station at 4th Street that Caltrain still uses. Fairbanks-Morse power was also in its last year or so on Southern Pacific and we wanted a ride behind a big H-24-66.
So, before dawn, we were at the Davis station waiting for #11 to come down the West Valley line. (For Amtrak's first 10 years or so, the Coast Starlight turned north at Davis, bypassing Sacramento and Chico, but saving an hour or so on its Oakland-Oregon schedule. This was in keeping with SP's practice from the days when their trains were seen as through Oakland-Oregon services and Sacramento passenges could connect at Davis by local train, bus or car.) The Davis arrival and departure board still showed the train as the Cascade, but had changed the northbound number to 14 instead of the Cascade's 12.
We must taken the Starlight to Oakland and the connecting bus to San Francisco as the BART transbay tube did not open for passengers until later in 1974. We seem to have ridden BART from Montgomery Street to Daly City and back. We then walked down 3rd Street to the SP station.
SP's 3rd and Townsend Street station was completed in time for the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition and was intended to be a temporary facility. Temporary wound up being 60 years. By 1974, it was showing its age and the fact that SP had lost interest in passenger service earlier than most western railroads. Amtrak had moved the last intercity passenger train that served San Francisco, the Coast Daylight, over to Oakland and combined it with SP's Cascade and a BN pool train to create the Seattle-LA Coast Starlight, leaving 3rd and Townsend a commuter only station. Ridership on the commutes was stagnant, SP was losing money and not inclined to spend more on a money losing operation, but the state Public Utilities Commission would not allow SP to cancel the service.
As 3rd and Townsend was past its "best before" date, plans had been made to build a new station a block south at 4th Street and the new interlocking tower for the new station had been built. Construction would soon start on 4th St. station and when it was ready, 3rd and Townsend would be demolished. Today you could stand where I did to shoot these photos and not recognize anything except for some of the track looking south photos.
The weather was rainy part of the day, but cleared toward afternoon. We wandered around the station area, shooting arrivals and departures during the day and the commute parade lining up for departure. We shot some commutes departing, then boarded one, led by F-M 3022, that would get us into San Jose in time to catch the Coast Starlight back to Davis.
I got a few shots at San Jose, then must have decided that shots of the Starlight would not be worth it as it arrived well after dark.
The was the first of quite a few around the bay trips I've taken by train over the years, sometimes going and coming on the Starlight, these days, more likely on the Capitol Corridor. Pretty much everything has changed as far as trains and equipment, other than the original BART cars still soldiering on. The Capitol Corridor was undreamed of in 1974, and it would be 11 years before Caltrain would replace the SP equipment on the commutes.
Awaiting the construction of a new City Office this square has been made available to the citizens of Rotterdam. In the city centre you can 'shoot some hoops' as the Americans say, or have a picknick in the grass. If only the weather would be a bit happier...
