2011 Volkswagen Touareg
This is 1 / 2 Touareg's.
Region of Waterloo Emergency Medical Service has a corporate initiative to downsize the fleet wherever possible. The Touareg is also a clean and very fuel efficient diesel so we get the downsizing for better fuel economy, and a much longer engine life given these vehicles put 5-6,000 kms a month.
The Paramedic driving this said that, these will be the only 2 for a long time and he wouldn't be surprise if they keep them past 400,000 kms..
Kitchener Waterloo is a twin city with two separate business areas, governments, etc. Kitchener has the two hospitals. Waterloo has the two universities. They also share a transit system with another neighbouring city. Here is the new LRT still in it's testing phase
West Country 34093 Saunton stands at Waterloo Station on Friday July 7, 1967, two days before steam finished on the Southern Region. It would head the 17.23 Waterloo to Bournemouth. I travelled on the train as far as Southampton, where I caught the 17.30 Weymouth - Waterloo back to London, hauled by 34013 Okehampton, arriving nine minutes early.
Old Christ Church is a redundant Anglican church located in Waterloo Road, Waterloo, Merseyside, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant in 1982, and its functions have been replaced by a new Christ Church at the junction of Crosby Road South and Alexandra Road, Waterloo.
Christ Church was built between 1891 and 1899 to replace a former church built in 1840 whose structure had become unsound. The foundation stone was laid on 17 October 1891, the nave and baptistry were built between 1891 and 1893, and the chancel was added the following year. In 1899 the tower was built. A competition was held to select the architect, but this failed to find an acceptable design, and the commission was given to the Lancaster firm of Paley, Austin and Paley. The contractors were George Woods and Sons of Bootle, and the church cost £21,956 (equivalent to £460,000 in 2016). The church was dedicated in April 1893, and on 2 December 1899 it was consecrated by Bishop Royston, an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Liverpool.
The architectural historians Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series express the opinion that this is one of the "very finest" churches designed by the firm of Paley, Austin and Paley. The church is constructed in Old Red Sandstone from Bootle quarry, and is roofed with green Westmorland slates. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with north and south aisles and a clerestory, a chancel with a south chapel and a north transept, and a northeast tower with vestries to its east. At the west end is a polygonal baptistry, and porches have been incorporated into the west ends of the aisles. The nave measures 96 feet (29 m) by 29.5 feet (9 m), the aisles are 14 feet (4 m) wide, the chancel is 40.5 feet (12 m) by 30 feet (9 m), and the south chapel measures 41 feet (12 m) by 24 feet (7 m). The architectural style is mainly Perpendicular, and there are elements of Decorated style (in the tracery of the west window), and Art Nouveau style (above doorways and in the aisle windows).
The west front is symmetrical with angle buttresses, and contains a tall six-light window. Above the window is a gable containing two ogee-headed niches and a small lancet window. The gable is decorated with chequerwork and on its apex is a stone cross. The baptistry protrudes outwards below the west window. It has two-light square-headed windows, angle buttresses and a moulded parapet. Flanking the baptistry are gabled porches over which are two-light windows at the ends of the aisles. Along the walls of the aisles are two two-light windows in each bay, except for the east bay on the south side which has one window and a small door leading into the chapel. The north transept has a transomed north window and a square-headed window on its west side. On the walls of the clerestory are three-light windows in each bay.
The chancel roof is at a slightly lower level than that of the nave, and it has a cross on its gable apex. Between the chancel and the nave on the south side is a turret containing the stairs leading to the walkways behind the parapets. The east window in the chancel is large, with seven lights, and the chapel has a five-light east window. The south wall of the chancel has two bays, each containing a pair of two-light square-headed windows.
The tower is in three stages with string courses separating the stages. At its corners are angle buttresses. The middle stage is divided internally into two floors. At the northeast corner of the tower is an octagonal stair turret containing a spiral staircase. The turret rises to a higher level than the tower, and is surmounted by a crocketted stone spirelet. The bottom stage of the tower has a three-light window in the north wall. The middle stage contains an arched two-light window in the west wall and a similar window at a higher level in the north wall. Each wall of the top stage contains a three-light transomed square-headed bell opening. The parapet is double-stepped and is carved with the Latin phrases Laus Deo (praise be to God) and Laudate Dominum (praise the Lord) in Gothic script. On top of the tower is a pyramidal roof.
Internally, all the fittings were removed after the church became redundant. The striated stonework is exposed. The arcades between the nave and the aisles are carried on cylindrical pillars. In the south wall of the chancel are three sedilia and a credence shelf. Most of the church is floored with stone flags, but in the chancel are red, green, black and yellow decorated tiles. Some of the stained glass was moved into this church from the older church, but most of it is by Shrigley and Hunt. The glass in the east window depicts the Te Deum and the west window contains the Twelve Apostles.
The sandstone boundary wall and the gates to the churchyard are listed at Grade II. They are contemporary with the church and were probably designed by the same architects. The gates are in wrought iron.
During the second half of the 20th century, the size of the congregation had fallen to a low level and in 1982 the church was declared redundant. The condition of its fabric deteriorated due to neglect and vandalism, and in 1993 it was planned to demolish it. However, following a public enquiry, it was decided that it should be conserved. In 1998 it was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. A group known as The Friends of Old Christ Church has been formed to raise money for the improvement of the facilities provided by the church building and to encourage its use by the community. It is possible to arrange visits to the church, and it is available for hiring. Events and activities are organised in the church.

The WWI Memorial Entrance (architect: James Robb Scott) to Waterloo Station, 06/74. Note the old taxi. Scanned slide taken with a Kowa SET.
Waterloo Train Tunnel (852 yds) in Liverpool one of many of the old Liverpool tunnel's. This location is in a old car park off Pall Mall near the city centre. This one was abandoned in 1972 although there has been recently talk about the re-opening of it along with the Wapping Tunnel.
Originally this tunnel, along with the Victoria tunnel (1 mile, 924 yards) ran from Edge Hill to Riverside. Waterloo & Victoria tunnels are practically 1 tunnel, just separated by a large airshaft or cutting on Byron Street.

Part of a display of rolling stock at Waterloo on 'Network Day' saw 73 004 'Bluebell Railway' coupled to a steam crane. This loco is the only member of the Class 73/0 sub-class that does not still exist, being withdrawn in September 1991, but not finally disposed of until February 2004 at Kingsbury.

An unusual view of Waterloo East. Due to engineering work, the bridge to Charing Cross was closed for a few weeks during summer 1979. Temporary crossovers allowed a limited service of trains to terminate at Waterloo East while others were diverted to Cannon Street or Blackfriars. An additional footbridge was also installed, from which I took this shot of a down suburban train leaving from the up slow platform.
This set shows photos of a recent rideout with paramedics Declan Tudor and Amy Pearson.

Driving along Rainbow Drive to Cedar Falls from Waterloo, Iowa. This was not one of more colorful drivers. He made up for that by being sane.
This wasn't the driver who misused the bus or pretended to lose control when passing another bus on a two lane street, nor the one who wore a Santa Suit and drove not looking at the street but with his head turned so he could talk to passengers setting some seats back. And he wasn't either of the two drivers who started at me as they drove pass me wondering why I was standing at a bus stop waving at them.
He was the RESPONSIBLE DRIVER!!!
They did have more than one responsible driver though.
Waterloo Falls is a 35 foot drop along the 100 foot wide Spring Creek. This creek runs along the border between Putnam and Overton Counties.
This waterfall is not part of a state park, however, there is an unsigned turnoff along the road, and at the end of the gravel turnoff is some parking spaces. From there is a short path just a few hundred feet along the side of the water right along the side of the falls and perhaps evidence of an old mill. The path doesn't go much further than this, so you're looking at it from an angle. (I suppose you could be a little adventurous and do some climbing, but I didn't.
Technical Stuff: I was using two ND 0.6 Filters along with ISO100 and the smallest aperture the lens would allow, f/22. I did not have a tripod, and there wouldn't have been anywhere to put one, but there was a nice tree that I held the camera against.
London, November 3rd 1980: DMS 1989 entering the large roundabout at Waterloo as it turns into York Road en-route to Victoria. The rather attractive and imposing James Clerk Maxwell building takes centre stage here,but alas this view can be had no more, forty years later, due to the massive eyesore of the BFI IMAX cinema.
