The large Accomodator storm drain, was awesome! This cast iron roofing section was defiantly the best part. We decided to bring out the fire monster, and create a inferno!
The large concrete building, known as the Adriatico Guest House provides accommodation for students at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics just along the coast from Trieste in Italy. It also provides a centre for academic scientific meetings and conferences that I've enjoyed on four or five occasions. This was the last in 2009.
The study bedrooms are on two sides of the building. Half have beautiful views over the Adriatic. The other half face a cliff. No prizes for guessing which rooms are used by students and which are given to conference delegates!

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west. The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926. To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere"). The park has nine main gates allowing entrance to the different camps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruger_National_Park

19D 3322 and 24 3655 at an accommodation crossing between Malmesbury and Moorreesburg on the Klawer branch in Western Cape.
47526 approaches Hitchen with a morning express for Kings Cross, 1st June 1978. The formation is only seven vehicles and includes a Mark I kitchen/restaurant and a full brake limiting the actual passenger accommodation to only five vehicles, two First Opens and three Second Opens.
Locomotive History
47526 was built at Crewe Works as D1109 and entered traffic on the 10th January 1967 allocated to York MPD. For the next twenty years it would allocated to MPD’s (York, Holbeck and Gateshead) which had “top link” East Coast Passenger duties and it could be generally found pounding up and down the East Coast Main Line on express passenger, sleeper and “excursion” traffic. To cope with the introduction of electrically heated, air conditioned daytime coaching stock on the East Coast Main Line, whilst retaining steam heated overnight sleeper coaching stock it was one of a number of Class 47’s that retained its steam heating boiler (Stone Vapour) when fitted with electric train heating in 1971. Its first transfer away from East Coast duties was in May 1988 when it moved to Plymouth Laira and it would find itself regularly on the transfer list over the next ten years with spells at Bristol, Crewe, Old Oak Common, Tinsley, Stratford and finally Immingham from where it was withdrawn in June 1998. Although withdrawn over twenty six years ago it is still in existence (January 2025) awaiting its fate dumped at Carnforth.

The autotrain passes an accommodation crossing on the Severn Valley Railway during the recent photo charter. A lovely rural setting to capture a typical service as seen on a number of former Great Western branches in the 1950s.
Now the final survivor of the once 21 strong fleet of Coventry Mercedes bendy buses, now preserved 6015 returned to its old stomping grounds for another day.
It’s pictured here part way through a journey on route 4 from Walsgrave University Hospital to Arena Park, which the type were associated, and mostly branded for, in their later years. The backdrop highlights the modern blocks of student accommodation that have sprung up in recent years.

Walkies on Holywell St.......
Not sure if the dog is enjoying this or whether it's trying to ask for help...... The other strange thing is that the dog's owner has a tail......
This was taken during an Oxford Flickr Group photowalk back in July. For anyone in the area you might be interested to know that our next photowalk is tomorrow, Sunday 15th September. This is a joint event with the London Flickr Group as it's the annual 'Open Doors' weekend and lots of building which aren't usually open to the public will be. We're meeting at the Gloucester Green Bus station at midday and anyone is welcome to join us for the afternoon. More details here www.flickr.com/groups/oxford-uk/discuss/72157721921600920/

From Wikipedia, "Holywell Street is a street in central Oxford, England. It runs east–west with Broad Street to the west and Longwall Street to the east. About halfway along, Mansfield Road adjoins to the north.
New College dominates the south side of the street. At the western end of the street is the King's Arms public house on the north corner, a favourite with Oxford University students, and the Indian Institute (now the home of The James Martin 21st Century School) to the south. On the north side is the Holywell Music Room, an historic chamber music venue built in 1742. Opposite a small cul-de-sac, Bath Place, leads via a small winding footpath to the historic Turf Tavern public house close to the old city wall. The wall remains, in places, and follows the course of Holywell Street to the south, partly through New College. The buildings on the corner of Holywell Street and Mansfield Road, along with the Alternative Tuck Shop, are owned by Harris Manchester College, and are used as student accommodation."

Those anxiously waiting for the opening of Marina Bay Sands will have to wait a little longer. This update shows the Sky Park in place but the overall still looks skimpy. When completed it should play a vital role in attracting visitors to Singapore.

This Grade II listed Victorian spa house and hall was built in 1843 in a ravine in woodland. As built in 1843 by Earl Manvers it was aimed at a high class clientele with hotel accommodation but never really made money. It was developed in 1920's & 1930's with children's playgrounds, outdoor pond and tennis court but closed in 1939. It was then restored in 2002 and is open on selected days each summer. Located near Birley Spa Lane. The earliest establishment of the spa is thought to be in the early 1700s being built by a Quaker named Sutcliffe. The spa then consisted of a square stone building with a cold bath within with a bolt fixed on the inner side to ensure privacy. This structure appeared to exist until 1793 when the bath was ruined and filled with stones.

Der Bau der Neumarktkirche begann zwischen 1173 (dem Jahr der Heiligsprechung des Thomas Becket) und 1188 (dem Jahr der ersten urkundlichen Erwähnung der Kirche in einem Diplom Friedrich I. Barbarossas). Danach wurde die Kirche in zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Bauphasen von Ost nach West errichtet. Zumindest die Ostteile wurden 1188 bereits genutzt. Ursprünglich war die Kirche eine flachgedeckte, steil proportionierte Basilika mit Stützenwechsel, einem Chorquadrat mit Apsis und zwei Nebenapsiden am durchlaufenden Querhaus sowie zwei Türmen an den westlichen Enden der Seitenschiffe. Im Westen besaß die Kirche eine über zwei Arkaden sich zum Mittelschiff hin öffnende Empore. Auch die Türme waren im Untergeschoss zu den Seitenschiffen hin geöffnet. Bei einer Restaurierung in den Jahren 1825/26 wurden das nördliche Seitenschiff, die südliche Nebenapsis und eine mittelalterliche Sakristei auf der Südseite des Chorquadrats abgebrochen. Das südliche Seitenschiff, der südliche Turm und die nördliche Nebenapsis waren bereits damals wohl wegen der schlechten Baugrundverhältnisse am Saaleufer nicht mehr erhalten. Wegen des angestiegenen Grundwasserspiegels wurde das Gelände um 1,5 bis 2 Meter angehoben, sodass das Gebäude wie eingesunken wirkte.
Weitere Restaurierungen und Wiederherstellungen erfolgten 1912/13 und nach 1945. Die Kirche wurde 1973 als Gottesdienstraum aufgegeben und als Antiquitätenlager für den Bereich Kommerzielle Koordinierung zur Devisenbeschaffung der DDR genutzt, wobei zahlreiche Kunstwerke insbesondere aus Kirchen verkauft wurden. Die Ausstattung wurde 1983 ausgelagert und ist nur noch in Resten an verschiedenen Orten erhalten.
Nach längerer Vernachlässigung des Bauwerks wurde die Kirche in den Jahren 1991 bis 1995 umfassend saniert, nachdem sie bereits 20 Jahre zuvor in den 1970er von der Gemeinde wegen ihres schlechten, baufälligen Zustands aufgegeben werden musste. Bei den Sanierungsarbeiten wurden das Grundniveau von 1188 und somit der originale Raumeindruck wieder hergestellt. Im Rahmen dieser Sanierungen wurden Grabungen des Instituts für Denkmalpflege Halle durchgeführt. Bei diesen Arbeiten entdeckte man das Fundament des heute im Merseburger Dom ausgestellten Taufsteins, der ursprünglich aus der Neumarktkirche St. Thomae stammt. Seit 1993 kann die Kirche wieder für Gottesdienste genutzt werden. Sie ist eine Station des ökumenischen Pilgerweges nach Santiago de Compostela mit Übernachtungsmöglichkeit. Die heutige Ausstattung besteht aus einem Crucifixus im Triumphbogen und einem Relief des Thomas Becket von Gabriele Messerschmidt sowie einem Mahnmal Große Kreuzigungsgruppe vor roter Wand von Klaus Friedrich Messerschmidt. Schließlich ist eine siebenteilige Figurengruppe Terra Ottonum von Dieter M. Weidenbach zu erwähnen.

Construction of the St. Thomas’ Neumarktkirche began between 1173 (the year Thomas Becket was canonised) and 1188 (the year the church was first mentioned in a diploma by Frederick I Barbarossa). The church was then built in two successive construction phases from east to west. At least the eastern parts were already in use in 1188. Originally, the church was a flat-roofed, steeply proportioned basilica with alternating columns, a square choir with apse and two side apses on the continuous transept as well as two towers at the western ends of the side aisles. In the west, the church had a gallery opening up to the nave via two arcades. The towers were also open to the side aisles in the basement. During restoration work in 1825/26, the north aisle, the south side apse and a medieval sacristy on the south side of the choir square were demolished. The southern aisle, the southern tower and the northern side apse were no longer preserved, probably due to the poor building ground conditions on the banks of the Saale. Due to the rising groundwater level, the ground was raised by 1.5 to 2 metres, so that the building appeared to have sunk.
Further restorations and reconstructions were carried out in 1912/13 and after 1945. The church was abandoned as a place of worship in 1973 and used as an antiques warehouse for the GDR's Commercial Coordination Department to procure foreign currency, whereby numerous works of art, particularly from churches, were sold. The furnishings were removed in 1983 and only remnants remain in various places.
After a long period of neglect, the church was extensively renovated between 1991 and 1995, having been abandoned by the congregation 20 years earlier in the 1970s due to its poor, dilapidated condition. During the renovation work, the basic level of 1188 and thus the original spatial impression were restored. As part of these renovations, excavations were carried out by the Halle Institute for Monument Preservation. During this work, the foundations of the baptismal font now on display in Merseburg Cathedral, which originally came from St. Thomas’ Neumarktkirche, were discovered. The church has been used for services again since 1993. It is a stop on the ecumenical pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela with overnight accommodation. Today's furnishings consist of a Crucifixus in the triumphal arch and a relief of Thomas Becket by Gabriele Messerschmidt as well as a memorial Large crucifixion group in front of a red wall by Klaus Friedrich Messerschmidt. Finally, a seven-part group of figures named “Terra Ottonum” by Dieter M. Weidenbach should be mentioned.
