The methodical disassembly of the historic Philippine Mars flying boat continues at Lake Pleasant, Arizona. As each piece is removed, it is trucked down to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson. This unique aircraft will be re-assembled and restored, before being put on permanent display at the museum. I find this entire process amazing and fascinating!
Le Passage du Sphinx est un passage carrelé couvert de 120 mètres de long entre le bâtiment Eiffel et Pathé. Près de 30 000 carreaux font revivre l'histoire du Sphinx de Maastricht à travers des mots, des images et des objets.
Un espace pour le passé
Autour du bâtiment Eiffel, le Sphinxkwartier se développe rapidement pour devenir un quartier urbain moderne et dynamique. La restauration du bâtiment Eiffel est terminée et le Student Hotel occupe une grande partie du bâtiment depuis septembre 2017. Le bâtiment Eiffel continuera de fonctionner en 2018, avec de nouvelles fonctions résidentielles, commerciales et de vente au détail. En attendant, le passé n'est pas perdu de vue : avec l'ouverture du passage du Sphinx, la riche histoire du quartier a également trouvé une place permanente.
Le plus long tableau de carreaux des Pays-Bas
Avec un mélange, entre autres, de portraits de famille, de bâtiments d'usine, de décorations de vaisselle, de vieilles publicités et de cuvettes de toilettes, les tableaux de carreaux racontent l'histoire du Sphinx et de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht en 26 chapitres. Chaque tableau est accompagné d'une histoire de fond (en néerlandais et en anglais), écrite par les historiens Jac van den Boogaard et Paul Arnold. De la fondation de la manufacture du Sphinx par Petrus Regout à sa fermeture en plein centre-ville, le Passage du Sphinx offre aux visiteurs un aperçu unique de l'histoire de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht. Long de 120 mètres, il est le plus long passage couvert de tableaux de faïence des Pays-Bas.
The Sphinx Passage is a 120-meter-long covered tiled passageway between the Eiffel Building and Pathé. Nearly 30,000 tiles bring the history of the Maastricht Sphinx to life through words, images, and objects.
A space for the past
Around the Eiffel Building, the Sphinxkwartier is rapidly developing into a modern and vibrant urban neighborhood. The restoration of the Eiffel Building is complete, and the Student Hotel has occupied a large part of the building since September 2017. The Eiffel Building will continue to operate in 2018, with new residential, commercial, and retail functions. Meanwhile, the past is not lost on us: with the opening of the Sphinx Passage, the neighborhood's rich history has also found a permanent home. The longest tile painting in the Netherlands
Featuring a mix of family portraits, factory buildings, crockery decorations, old advertisements, and toilet bowls, among other things, the tile paintings tell the story of the Sphinx and Maastricht's ceramic industry in 26 chapters. Each painting is accompanied by a background story (in Dutch and English), written by historians Jac van den Boogaard and Paul Arnold. From the founding of the Sphinx factory by Petrus Regout to its closure in the city center, the Sphinx Passage offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Maastricht's ceramic industry. At 120 meters long, it is the longest tile painting passage in the Netherlands.

Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, England - Friday October 31st 2008.

Bamburgh Castle is one of England's most famous castles. Built on a basalt outcrop above majestic sand dunes, its ramparts tower over the shifting hues of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with stunning views of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands in one direction and the Cheviot Hills in another. It is perhaps the most photographed of England's castles and historic houses and is the likely site of Lancelot's Castle, 'The Joyous Gard'.
An 11th century Norman fortress, Bamburgh feted royal guests and English kings, one of whom - Edward IV - destroyed it in the Wars of the Roses. Lord Armstrong's Late Victorian restoration saved it from ruin, the castle providing a home to the Armstrong family to this day. Today, the life and works of the 1st Lord Armstrong are brought to life in the unique Armstrong Museum and Aviation Artifacts Museum housed in the old laundry building.
San Gimignano (Italian pronunciation: [san dʒimiɲˈɲaːno]) is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses,[3] which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls, form "an unforgettable skyline".[4] Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with outstanding examples of secular buildings as well as churches. The Palazzo Comunale, the Collegiate Church and Church of Sant' Agostino contain frescos, including cycles dating from the 14th and 15th centuries.[4] The "Historic Centre of San Gimignano" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[4] The town also is known for saffron, the Golden Ham, and its white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, produced from the ancient variety of Vernaccia grape which is grown on the sandstone hillsides of the area
10 years ago, Fenniarail was taking its first steps to become a railway operator, and Operail Finland and its successor North Rail Oy was not even a thing yet and VR still had to monopoly on freight traffic. But nowadays, the Finnish railway systems is filled with operators in the freight sector and at Kurkimäki the three giants unite on a unique gathering as Fenniarail's Vectron North Rail Oy's Dr20 meet the speeding class Sr1s of VR.
Nothing unique about this shot, except that it’s a beaver, which I don’t see very often. This guy appeared rather suddenly, surfacing close to the shoreline where I was walking; he climbed up on a submerged log and chewed on a stick for a couple of minutes before disappearing again just as quickly. It was as though he came to pose for my camera. Thanks, Bucky!

Eydhafushi, Baa Atoll, Maldives 2013.
Saint Basilica Nicholas and the Dominican monastery - one of the oldest temples in Gdansk , was founded in the late twelfth century. Closed until further notice from October 31, 2018 due to poor technical condition threatening a construction disaster. The first small church dedicated to St. It was built probably in 1185. It was built at the intersection of two important trade routes: the ancient merchants' road ( via mercatorum ) and the road leading from the Gdańsk castle to the princely estates in Pomerania . From the beginning, the church served both the local population and merchants and sailors coming to Gdańsk from all parts of the world.
Unique livery, Unique bus - 32677.
This is now an endangered bus type with college contracts being handed to Stagecoach for September. These will no longer be required by that point. It comes as no surprise with First having hundreds of these when new, they’ve diminished over the last few years.
Currently 12 B7TL’s remain in the south west with 32673 also at Essex as of uploading this. A small number of B9’s also appear to be getting withdrawn from the Kernow fleet. I think a decent number of the B9’s will infact be withdrawn or cascaded elsewhere in the short term future. More than I originally thought!
This was also one of my favourite captures from the trip. This bus does feature quite a lot in my next set of photos, which I’m glad for that!

11. Former Lakeview Radial Substation
811 Lakeshore Road East
Built c1906
The small building has a unique history and is one of the only reminders of an era when electric streetcars once travelled along this stretch of Lakeshore Road, on their way to Port Credit. The Toronto & York Radial Railway laid electric streetcar tracks along Lakeshore Road, with service beginning in 1906. It is not known for certain when this building was built (sometime between 1906 and 1923), but it performed a critical service. The electric radial cars relied on direct current, so as the distance from the power plant increased, the voltage on the line decreased. To augment this, substations containing electric dynamos were built to boost the voltage, and this building is one of the few that remain from that time, although its usage has changed over time.
Deeply lobed leaves and enormous height make this tropical “monster” an eye-catching addition to the summer garden. People will stop and stare at this unusual Elephant Ear whose leaves easily reach 3-4’ in length. The uniquely mottled stems give it more character.
Easy to grow in containers, this Elephant Ear likes plentiful water and fertilizer during the growing season.

Primula vulgaris, the common primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and parts of southwest Asia. The common name is primrose, or occasionally common primrose or English primrose to distinguish it from other Primula species also called primroses. None of these are closely related to the evening primroses (genus Oenothera). Primula vulgaris is a perennial growing 10–30 cm tall, with a basal rosette of leaves which are more-or-less evergreen in favoured habitats. It flowers in early spring in the northern hemisphere (February–April) on slopes and meadows. The leaves are 5–25 cm long and 2–6 cm broad, often heavily wrinkled, with an irregularly crenate to dentate margin. The leaf blade is gradually attenuated towards the base and unevenly toothed. The single stem, extremely short, is hidden in the centre of the leaf rosette. The delicately scented flowers are 2–4 cm in diameter, borne singly on short slender stems. The flowers are typically pale yellow, though white or pink forms are often seen in nature. The flowers are actinomorphic with a superior ovary which later forms a capsule opening by valves to release the small black seeds. The native range of P. vulgaris encompasses western and southern Europe. In the north, the distribution area extends from central Norway near the Faroe Islands via the British Isles, Denmark, northern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France to southern Portugal in the south and the tip of North Africa in Algeria. To the east, the range extends through the southern European peninsulas to the Crimea, Balkans, Syria, Turkey and Armenia. S10N_220

The adult humpback whale is generally 14–15 m (46–49 ft) long, though individuals up to 16–17 m (52–56 ft) long have been recorded. Females are usually 1–1.5 m (3 ft 3 in – 4 ft 11 in) longer than males.
The species can reach body masses of 40 metric tons (44 short tons). Calves are born at around 4.3 m (14 ft) long with a mass of 680 kg (1,500 lb)] The species has a bulky body with a thin rostrum and proportionally long flippers, each around one-third of its body length.[14][15] It has a short dorsal fin that varies from nearly nonexistent to somewhat long and curved.
Like other rorquals, the humpback has grooves between the tip of the lower jaw and the navel. The grooves are relatively few in number in this species, ranging from 14 to 35. The upper jaw is lined with baleen plates, which number 540–800 in total and are black in color.
The dorsal or upper side of the animal is generally black; the ventral or underside has various levels of black and white coloration. Whales in the southern hemisphere tend to have more white pigmentation. The flippers can vary from all-white to white only on the undersurface. Some individuals may be all white, notably Migaloo who is a true albino. The varying color patterns and scars on the tail flukes distinguish individual animals.[
The end of the genital slit of the female is marked by a round feature, known as the hemispherical lobe, which visually distinguishes males and females.[15][19]
Unique among large whales, humpbacks have bumps or tubercles on the head and front edge of the flippers; the tail fluke has a jagged trailing edge. The tubercles on the head are 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) thick at the base and protrude up to 6.5 cm (2.6 in).
They are mostly hollow in the center, often containing at least one fragile hair that erupts 1–3 cm (0.39–1.18 in) from the skin and is 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) thick. The tubercles develop early in gestation and may have a sensory function, as they are rich in nerves. Sensory nerve cells in the skin are adapted to withstand the high water pressure of diving.
In one study, a humpback whale brain measured 22.4 cm (8.8 in) long and 18 cm (7.1 in) wide at the tips of the temporal lobes, and weighed around 4.6 kg (10 lb). The humpback's brain has a complexity similar to that of the brains of smaller whales and dolphins.
The structure of the eye indicates that eyesight is relatively poor, being only able to see silhouettes over long distances and finer details relatively close. Computer models of the middle ear suggest that the humpback can hear at frequencies between 15 Hz and 3 kHz "when stimulated at the tympanic membrane", and between 200 Hz and 9 kHz "if stimulated at the thinner region of the tympanic bone adjacent to the tympanic membrane". These ranges are consistent with their vocalization ranges.
As in all cetaceans, the respiratory tract of the humpback whale is connected to the blowholes and not to the mouth, although the species appears to be able to unlock the epiglottis and larynx and move them towards the oral cavity, allowing humpbacks to blow bubbles from their mouths. The vocal folds of the humpback are more horizontally positioned than those of land mammals which allows them to produce underwater calls. These calls are amplified by a laryngeal sac.

Hotel Copernicus - a historic building presently housing a 29-room hotel with two apartments. Copernicus Hotel is located on Kanonicza, the city’s oldest street. For centuries, this building was a part of the cathedral chapel and hosted the intellectual and financial elite of Krakow. It owes its name to the famous Polish astronomer Nicolas Copernicus, who was one of the guests of the house. He, too, must have admired the precious polychrome paintings and inscriptions dating from 1500 and, in the evening, the flaming sunsets that seem to set the city alight.
