.............at Paignton Zoo has become competitive since the local seagulls discovered there is such a thing as a free meal.
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
W. Shakespeare
This is the temple of Hephestus, one of the twelve gods of ancient greeks. Hephestus was the protector of craftsmen and blacksmiths. His temple was built in appr. 460-415 B.C. at the Agora, the heart and soul of ancient Athens, at the very spot where the idea of democracy was born.

Dovercourt Lighthouse long exposure.
Dovercourt, Harwich, Essex. The weather report said "Clear" so i was hopeful for a nice sunrise - only to be met with a big grey bank of cloud out to sea.

I line my fridge shelves with these. They keep the shelves clean and I can wash them in the dishpan, and then just give the inside of the fridge a quick wipe. They have made my life a whole lot easier.
.. time-off during the festival and doing newspaper reading ... and of course watching the chicks...
We stopped at this restaurant in Jackson Square for drinks. I can't remember the name of the place but the decor was amazing. We took a lot of shots here but this one is one of my favorites from the whole trip. I love lines and angles.
At the other end of service 140 we see East Coast 10054 at Penicuik terminus screened to return to Musselburgh. These two towns have much in common. Both were ancient burghs, both had a long industrial history and both had enterprising benefactors who left legacies for civic centres. Near this spot was Alexander Cowan's Valleyfield paper mill, one of the largest in the world and a considerable employer for the town and Midlothian. He gifted enough to ensure the Cowan Institute was built.
For many years the Institute was the terminus for bus services. In 1965 SMT Regent double deckers were given 56 minutes to reach Musselburgh and at that time the route operated via Danderhall and Stoneybank rather than today's route via Whitecraig which takes 1 hour and 15 minutes ! In fact SMT had good connecting times. You could leave North Berwick and connect with the Penicuik bus at Musselburgh, and in turn connect with the Edinburgh to Peebles bus at Penicuik! Before today's cyber and digital age it was the feared road inspectors who ensured your connections !
Today service 140 enables important links from south to north Midlothian connecting Roslin, Loanhead, Bonnyrigg and Dalkeith with Musselburgh and from both an economic and social point of view an essential bus service. Until recently Lothian operated the 140 service from Marine garage, however a re-distribution of work saw their East Coast subsidiary work this route from Musselburgh depot, although on occasions drivers from either company work on this route. I would expect further economies may see more work shared with the subsidiary where routes duplicate one another.
A London Transport UCC Feltham tram waits for an E series Vauxhall Wyvern to pass before crossing the junction.
Not only is the motorman following the rule of the road , he is doing what he can to avoid a temporal paradox as the last Felthams ran in London some four months before the E Series Vauxhall were launched in August 1951!!
Perhaps the owner of the Police Box on the other side of the layout can resolve the problem?
