Explanatory notice about the two former railways at Astor's halt (Ferry Reach Junction) on the north shore of St. George's Island, Bermuda.
Red line is route of Astor's railway (Ferry Reach Railway), about 500 m long. Broad white trail which passes the halt on N. shore is Bermuda Railway Trail. This follows the trackbed of the former standard gauge (1435 mm) Bermuda Railway which ran the length of Bermuda. Astor's house (Ferry Reach House) is the large V-shaped complex at the opposite (S) shore end of the his railway, now apartments. In Parish of St.George's.
(Gauge of Astor's railway is variously said to be 24" (610 mm) gauge, as on this notice, or 18" (457 mm). Since taking this photo I have measured the track gauge in various places where it is still visible and it was consistently 18.25" (464 mm), so notionally 18" (457 mm). Astor's locomotive mentoned on this notice was actually built by the Baldwin company.)

Uthayan ~ Tamil language daily newspaper was started in 1985 in Jaffna, North of Sri Lanka .
A protest was organised by Free Media Movement (FMM), Sri Lanka Tamil Media Alliance (SLTMA), Sri Lanka Muslim Media Forum (SLMMF), Sri Lanka Working Journalists Association (SLWJA), Federation of Media Employees Trade Union (SLMETU),Media Movement for Democracy (MMD) and South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA).Nearly 47 journalists from Colombo traveled to Jaffna by A9 highway to show solidarity. They condemned the brutal assault by protesting in front of the Sri Lanka Transport Board bus stand in Jaffna on 16th of August 2011. It was a rare protest for the Peninsula people to witness. “ஏதாவது பிரச்சினையோ?” ~ “Is there any problem?”, “என்ன பிரச்சினை?” ~ “What is the problem?”, “இங்கை என்ன நடக்குது?” ~ “What is happening here?” a few onlookers, passers ~ by and shop keepers asked me while the protest was getting underway on a balmy day in Jaffna. “இங்கை உண்மையா என்ன நடக்குது? ~ “What is actually happening here” asked the owner of a newly built restaurant, while I was running to the restaurant roof top to capture the moments on my camera.
There was chaos as the protesters arrived in Jaffna town with placards in Tamil. Police in the vicinity came closer and asked them not to block the traffic. Verbal argument took place between the Police and the protesters. But the protesters kept chanting and walking. The traffic came to a standstill for a couple of moments, as the protesters took the space on the mot busiest road in Jaffna, the Hospital road while carrying the placards in Tamil ~ “யாழ்ப்பாண ஊடகவியலாளர்களுக்கு யார் பாதுகாப்பு?” ~ “Who is responsible for the lives of the journalists in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரம் பாதுகாக்கப்பட வேண்டும்” ~ “Media freedom needs to be protected”, “எப்போ முடியும் யாழ்ப்பாணத்தில் அடக்குமுறைகள்?” ~ “When will the suppression come to an end in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரத்தைப் பாதுகாக்க ஒன்றுபடுவோம்” ~ Let’s unite to protect media freedom”, “குகநாதனுக்கு விழுந்த அடி உண்மைக்கு விழுந்த பேரிடி”~ Assault on Kuganathan is an assault on the Truth, “ஊடகத்துறைக்கு எதிரான அடக்குமுறையை ஒழிப்போம்” ~ Eradicate Suppression Against the Media” “ஊடகத்தின் மீதான தாக்குதலை உடனே நிறுத்து” ~ “Stop Attacking the Media Immediately”, “ஜனநாயகத்தின் குரலை ஒடுக்காதே” ~ “Don’t Suppress the voice of Democracy”, “தேர்தலில் தோற்றவர்களா மண்டையைப் பிளந்தார்கள்?” ~ “Did they split the head those who lost the elections?”
The protesters chanted “Let Us Write”,“Continue; Continue; Continue to Write”,“Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill Us; Do Not Kill the Journalists, Do Not Kill the Democracy”,“Uthyan was attacked, but nobody was arrested”, “Bring the culprit to the courts”“Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack the Media”, “Take Your Hands Off Media”“Stop; Stop; Stop the Suppression” “Kuganathan; Kuganthan who wrote the plight of the people”, “Kuganathan was attacked with Iron rods”,“Kuganathan; Kuganathan; Keep Writing, “Lift the Emergency Immediately” in Tamil and Sinhala. There were nearly 350 journalists, activists and politicians participated in the protest according to the organisers.

Bullhead clan - see background (Numbers begin at 10,000)
Two tribally issued plates for various vehicle categories including motorcycle, Passenger, government vehicle, law enforcement vehicle and others. Plates are recognized by the state of Minnesota.
The 1995-2003 series license plates showed in light blue beneath the registration an outline of one of the following clan animals: bear, eagle, turtle, bullhead (fish), mink, pine marten, kingfisher (bird).
A great example of French road signs. European traffic signs like these have been designed with the principles of heraldry on mind; i.e., the sign is clear and can be understood with one single glance. Most traffic signs conform to heraldic tincture rules, and use symbols rather than written texts for better clarity

On October 28th 1638, St Pancras church in Widdicombe, Dartmoor was struck by lightning during a service.
Rumour suggests a dazed member of the congregation was seen to stagger from the wreckage saying, "I didn't think the sermon was that bad!"
Richard Hill, the local schoolmaster wrote a verse describing the events. This was painted on boards and was placed in the church.
In 1786 the boards were replaced by new ones by the churchwardens. All the scorch marks and shattered stones in the church tower have long ago been repaired.
note: The old style s is used except at the end of a word. This is very like a letter f. Also the runic letter 'thorn' is used, by the 18th century this was written like a letter y, but pronounced th.

Old building for general baby medical checkup, part of Bandung's main hospital, Hasan Sadikin, seems left unmaintained on Jalan Tamblong, Bandung.
This is Mary Arden's House, or as it is known now as Mary Arden's Farm.
It is currently closed for winter. The best time to get it, without all those tourists around the place.
The site is owned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. There is a series of different farm houses, and they have farm animals on site!
The entrance for visitors, cars and coaches is here. A little quiet in February. Wait until it's March to November!
I know it's Closed for Winter.
