The beautiful By Ward Market in downtown Ottawa, Canada.
A great spot for tourists & pigeons like it too, lol =)
Happy new week my friends! Best viewed large.
Kilns were built and used in the mid 19th century to make charcoal from the Pinyon Pine. The charcoal was then used to smelt the gold and silver from the ore. These are some of the best examples of kilns I have seen. They are protected within a remote Nevada State Park.
One of a diminishing number of duties for industrial locomotives in the UK, the former 08375 heads along the branch between Wards Siding and HeidelbergCement 's Ketton cement works with empty cement tankers.
The tanks had left Ketton the previous evening for St Pancras, and after unloading and returning to Wards Siding are tripped the short distance to the works as seen here.
Taken with the assistance of a pole.
A beautiful fall day finds a late-running Pan Am train POED thundering west at Ward Hill (Haverhill), MA with a trio of SD40/45 variants. On the headpin is a string of Eimskip intermodals carrying Poland Spring water, a service that began last year with containers being loaded at Waterville and Portland for shipment to Ayer, typically tacked on to trains POED/POSE and their counterparts.
Ward Beach on the Marlborough coast, New Zealand. The unusual landscape here is the result of the seabed being uplifted in the 2016 earthquake that was centred some 80km further south at Kaikoura.
UP LWG55 is eastbound on the old Misery Pacific as it takes down the signals at MP 317.3 behind a pair of ex-SP/SSW GP60s. The leader, #1008, is a GP60E released from Jenks in January of 2020. It was rebuilt with an EM2000 computer system as well as electronic fuel injection.
The upstairs central corridor at Z Ward, flanked by the open doors of inmate bedroom cells. The ceiling was much higher than downstairs, with tall cathedral windows.
Z Ward was a separate building at the Glenside Mental Hospital that catered for the criminally insane. Built in 1885, it is now empty and preserved by the National Trust.
From my 2017 archives. The full length of the central corridor at Z Ward, flanked by the open doors of inmate bedroom cells. The ceiling is very high, as you can see from the tall cathedral windows.
This is where the criminally insane of Adelaide were locked back in 1885. The criteria for being an inmate was having committed a crime and posing a danger to others and/or themselves due to insanity.
I currently work at a non-profit organisation for the intellectually disabled. We have come a very long way since Z Ward. Today the National Disability Insurance Scheme promotes individual rights to freedom of expression, self-determination and decision-making, and actively prevents abuse, harm, neglect and violence.
A few years ago, the Creek fire came through here and burned this side of the lake. The vegetation has really started to come back and everything is turning green again. As you can see, the lake is a very scenic location and the fishing is pretty good too. I was surprised at how much fireweed was growing around the lake this year. Last year we had only a couple of patches and now it is all around the lake shore. They make for a great view while hiking.
An area of Richmond, Virginia that I venture into a half dozen times a year or so, but always for the 2nd Street Festival. On the first weekend of October about 6 or 8 city blocks are closed and this place comes alive. If you want to hear Jazz, Blues, Gospel or Rap music it is all here on 3 separate nonstop stages. Arts, crafts and cultural items are for sale and OMG the food. If you are the kind of person who can't walk by a mess of collard greens, then you are going to be in heaven. Ethiopian, Jamaican and Carribean foods are represented but the focus is on Southern Soul Food. The kind your Mamma wishes she could cook! So much fun, that some years I have attended both Saturday and Sunday.
Ovens located south of Ely, Nevada. Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park seen in the background.
Our trip to Ward Lake this year was pretty adventurous. The fishing was amazing and the weather was hot. A bear decided to come in and eat all our food out of our ice chest and we had a severe thunderhead come through. Just a normal two weeks in the high Sierras.
A few years ago the Creek Fire came through the campground and burned the West side of the lake. This year when we hiked around the lake, we saw a lot of fireweed. My first experience seeing fireweed was in Alaska and I've never seen it before in this area. It really does bloom after the fire and brings back beauty to an area that has been decimated.
