Don't know anything about Crown Passage other than it appears to have survived the redevelopment that happened all around it a couple of decades ago. I guess Crown Passage may have been longer in the past though. Located right in the heart of Chelmsford.

The flying bridge on the restored paddle steamer bulit in 1924.
The Medway Queen is famous for its 7 cross channel trips in the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940.
Less famous is that I had a return trip on the Medway Queen in 1963 from Southend Pier to Herne Bay Pier!
Looks like an expensive bit of kit for a cash strapped local authority to be operating.

A biker at the BOBMC's Rider Mania in Pokhara, Nepal.
The fellow - a yogi or Shiva devotee - had an interesting assemblage of symbols: dreadlocks, a small Shiva trident, rudraksha beads, and Ibex horns and pelt.

De gemeente Knokke-Heist zette deze zomer zijn status van shoppingparadijs nog meer in de verf. Alle shoppers konden de hele zomer lang gratis gebruikmaken van een elektrische shuttledienst die de belangrijkste winkelstraten met elkaar verbindt. De trendy citymobiels waren meteen een schot in de roos, het winkelpubliek nam maar al te graag plaats in de geluidsarme shuttlebusjes. De Shopping Shuttle vervoerde sinds de start op 13 juli meer dan 11.000 gasten. Naast een leuke beleving zorgt de shuttledienst ook voor minder filevorming.
Om ook na de zomer aan deze grote vraag te blijven voldoen, wordt het project in het kader van #ikzomerwestvlaams verlengd in tijd en traject vanaf 1 oktober tot 15 november. Provincie West-Vlaanderen pakt met het initiatief ‘Ik Zomer West-Vlaams’ uit met een rijk gevuld en coronaproof programma met activiteiten voor wie zijn vakantie in eigen land of regio doorbrengt. De Shopping Shuttledienst komt nog steeds dagelijks tussen 11 tot 20 uur om het kwartier langs bij de 12 huidige haltes die diezelfde zijn in beide richtingen van het parcours. Aan elke halte stopt de shuttle om de passagiers te laten op- en uitstappen.
Grote nieuwigheid vanaf 1 oktober: er wordt nu ook een tweede lijn toegevoegd, namelijk de Zwin Shuttle. www.kneistikrant.be/knokke-heist-shopping-shuttle-verleng...

Schoolboy sitting on the side of a road near Kausani, Uttarakhand.
With an exam sheet board in his lap, this boy was just sitting around and eating a snack. Reminded me of the Beatles song, "I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, I love to watch 'em roll...".
A worn out book in Pong Lake near Dhameta, Himachal.
This seemingly religious text was - most likely - laid into a river upstream of the lake, and ended up in the open surrounding marshland when the lake waters receded with the onset of winter season.
The true power of any sacred scripture lies in the words it contains and their interpretation. These words outlive the existence of any media, like a book. The sad reality of modern times is that we give more reverence to physical texts rather than the religious and spiritual knowledge and understanding that they are meant to disseminate.
Streaked Laughingthrush foraging on the ground near Kausani, Uttarakhand.
The bird gets its name from the fine streaking around its plumage. It is commonly seen in the lower and mid Himalayan ranges, dwelling in forested areas near human settlements.
Grey Hornbill perched on a tree branch near my home in Ludhiana, Punjab.
Grey Hornbills have become a part of the urban setting around Punjab as they have started to nest in green areas inside cities.
