I drove past the Camas-Washougal Airport, and saw this out of the corner of my eye. I went another half mile, and turned around and went back to some real aviation delights. So glad I did.
I believe these profound words belong to the inspirational Eleanor Roosevelt.

Taken same day as www.flickr.com/photos/138912516@N03/24384412161/in/dateta... -- I was originally going to throw this one away but decided it was worth keeping when deleting old photos today. It shows very clearly why the snow could become so golden in the sunset that day.
The sun does it's best to put in an appearance beyond Worthing pier on a chilly blustery winters day.
Designed by Sir Robert Rawlinson and commissioned by the Worthing Pier Company, the first pile of Worthing Pier was driven 6ft (1.8m) into the chalk seabed on 4th July 1861. Opening some 10 months later on 12th April 1862 Worthing Pier consisted simply of a 960ft (291m) long by 15ft (4.6m) wide promenade deck, with a landing stage at the seaward end. Although very popular from the start, both with locals and visitors, entertainment wasn't considered until 1874 when a 9-piece orchestra was engaged to play for three hours a day 'weather permitting'. Some years later, in 1881, a German band from the Rhine was contracted to play daily and conditions were improved for the audience and band alike with the construction of two shelters.

Climbing counts as exercise right?

The Old Lake Worth City Hall, also known as the Lake Worth City Hall Annex, is a historic site in Lake Worth, Florida. It is located at 414 Lake Avenue.
The building originally served as Lake Worth's elementary school until June 1928. North Grade and South Grade Elementary Schools opened the following fall. The building was subsequently remodeled to provide for the Commission Chamber and administrative offices. On May 18, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Lake Worth Historical Museum is located on the second floor, and features antiques, tools, clothing, photographs, and other local and historic artifacts.
With a quickly growing population in the 1910s, the city of Lake Worth recognized the need for a school. After the Palm Beach Farms Company donated land to the Palm Beach County Board of Public Instruction, a small, wood-frame schoolhouse was built in 1912, with Lucerne Avenue located to the north, Lake Avenue to the south, and Federal Highway to the east. Upon opening on October 20, 1912, 24 students were enrolled, which nearly doubled by the end of the school year.
The expanding population soon necessitated the need for a larger schoolhouse, with the school board commissioning design plans and construction in 1914, to be funded by an approved $25,000 bond. The new, two story schoolhouse included 12 classrooms, each of which contained either 36 large desks or 45 small desks. After the construction of other schools, such as Lake Worth Community High School in 1922, the city government purchased the building in August 1926 due to its need for space for administrative functions.
The building was renovated after being sold to the city government, with classrooms being converted into offices and a telephone being installed. In July 1927, the former schoolhouse was rededicated as city hall. Lake Worth was devastated by the effects of the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, including city hall. Along the northwest corner of the building, the exterior wall in its entirety collapsed, while the north tower was destroyed and the bay at the northeastern side of the building was removed. The roof suffered complete destruction. As a result, Lake Worth was without a functional center for city government. City hall operations were temporarily moved to the Lauriston Building, then located at the corner of Lake Avenue and Dixie Highway. In late 1928, architect Floyd King drew up plans for restoring city hall. Upon completion of restoration in 1929, the building featured a Mission–Spanish Revival design, a radical change from the previous architectural style.
Administrative functions for the city government resumed after the building reopened in 1929. The building continued to be used for city hall operations until April 1973, when nearly all local government departments – with the exception of the electrical and water utilities – moved to the civic center building along Dixie Highway between Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue. In 1980, the Lake Worth Historical Museum opened on the second floor; it features antiques, tools, clothing, photographs, and other local artifacts relating to the history of Lake Worth. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 18, 1989.

The 10.43 West Worthing to Brighton is seen arriving at East Worthing on 23 May 1984. This unit comes from the final batch of VEPs, built at BREL York Works in 1973/4.
This is the dress I was on about a month ago that was out of my price range at the time.
Friday I saw it on line for £25 but it was only a size eight . Knowing my local branch had it I went to investigate. Well they had it but it was only reduced to £38 so I took it to the checkout and told the assistant that it 25 on line.
We looked and so she reduced it down plus a little 😁
Sometimes it's worth the wait. And I should still be posting now I can transfer from my camera to my pad .1
I'd arranged a walk with some friends from Garsdale to Kirkby Stephen to coincide with the shared excursion on the S&C - Tornado north and Scotsman south. A train ride to Garsdale, a bit of a damp middle to the walk and, with the timings, only a fleeting glimpse of Tornado from afar. However, after finishing the walk, an hour or so of thumb-twiddling in the car and in the warm waiting room at Kirkby Stephen was worth it as 60103 Flying Scotsman thundered through the station just after sunset.
I've shot very few photos in "normal" mode on my PN2011, but so glad I did with this one [but I can't remember if I did so diliberately!]
After an extremely boring morning of waiting for NBSR 120 in Rooth, I was finally rewarded for my efforts as NBSR 3095, a GP40-2, came charging out of the NB backwoods on point (a few hours late). For my first NBSR train I have, I'd say this was a pretty decent treat. Coming from the Halifax area, I've become pretty accustomed to seeing nothing but gevos for days on end, so being able to go see a shortline like NBSR is a great privilege.
Worthing Gull
I think this gull was asking to be fed. Whatever he wanted, he was very noisy and staring straight at me.
Despite lots of clouds rolling in from the west, when I heard EDPO had a blue EMD leader, I decided it might be worth my while to put the rubber boots on and hike into the east end of the Scarborough marsh hoping for sun. With the tide running out I was at least confident it wouldn't get any more wet. After waiting an hour in shadows I was rewarded with sunshine just before the train got there. The train was a mix of regular freight, water containers and most interestingly a couple of CGA CGM test containers going back to Saint John, New Brunswick. CGA CGM began making weekly calls on the Port of Saint John last week. Power for the train was SD45-2 carbody SD40-2 #615 and C40-8 #7500.
