Nearly 10 years on, parts of Christchurch are still feeling the effects on the earthquakes. This is about 2 blocks from Cathedral Square - there’s nothing happening in this building, and the one to the right of shot is fenced off.
This is a picture that my father took in Cologne, shortly after WW II (1950, to be exact). I scanned an old worn out photo print and retouched the damaged parts.
The scene shows Cologne's cathedral in the background, the brewery Brauhaus Sion that still exists today (white building), and the Jan von Werth memorial at Altermarkt (left). All the other buildings in between these landmarks had been destroyed in the air raids, and the debris had been removed by the Trümmerfrauen.
Today, when you stand at Altermarkt, you can see just the tips of the cathedral, that wondrously outlasted the air raids, though partly damaged.
The sunlight was streaming in through the kitchen window this morning, beautifully illuminating the remnants on the counter from some tasting over the last few days. These Aril Syrahs were lovely, especially the Napa estate bottling.
Shot with the Fujian 25mm/1.4 wide open on the OMD EM5ii. Minimally processed in Workspace and Affinity to retouch some dust and do a little gentle dodging and burning.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are having a Party.
The party was great but recovery will take a while.
[The overflowing litter bin was in our local council playground, which has been closed since March.]
What do you see in this image? I've started puting in some notes of what I see, but what about you?
Feel free to add away!

...and this was the following day.
I don't expect this to get as many views as the previous series for some reason ;)
This is two days of feverish building, demolishing, rebuilding, scavenging, and general awesome.
You can hardly tell, right?

After logging over a decade of service on the MMRR, the HESR 3868 leaves its home behind and is tacked onto CN A408 down to Centralia. From there, it's off to Metro East, but after that... who knows? It may get another lease on life on the new Rock, it may be scrapped for parts, or maybe it'll end up on another G&W property.
3868 made its last moves on the MMRR on December 1st, 2020. It was built for the Rock Island back in 1976 and ended up on the P&LE by 1981. It served under HESR in two different schemes, and now bits of all four paintschemes find ways to shine through just a little bit even after all these years.
Here, 3868 trails third out, offline, behind IC1035 and IC1000 on CNA408 as it rolls out of Champaign past the current Amtrak station.

Berlin, 1923. Less than five years after the end of the Great War, Germany economy lies in ruins. A disabled war veteran begs in the street dressed in his pre-war dunkelblau waffenrock.
A ribbon bar with several (unfortunately indistinguishable) awards is pinned to his chest, below it an Iron Cross 1st Class, and below the Cross a Wound Badge in Silver, awarded for three or four wounds or a severe wound such as the loss of a limb or eyesight.

Notes on the colours: The tunic has some discrepancies. The collar and cuffs are of different colours which I believe they shouldn’t be. It has no shoulder boards which would give us the unit if the number and/or cypher were visible or at least narrow down a bit the number of possible units.
The cuffs have piping which is also odd unless he was Foot artillery but in that case the cuffs should be black which clearly they are not. There is no discernible vertical frontal piping. To make things worse, in 1923 modern Panchromatic emulsion was already in use so without a reference, a starting point, I have no way to tell which emulsion was used. A pity that the red in the Reich kokarde is not visible.
I was, and still am, at a loss so I turned my attention to the cap. Here I was able to narrow down the hypothesis. The piping is clearly of a different colour from the band so, assuming that the emulsion was panchromatic, I narrowed it down to 2 possibilities: Sanitätstruppen (Medical troops) or Krankenwärter (Medical Attendants). I tried both but then I noticed that both kokarde seem to be the officer’s pattern so I changed the piping colour to red which was the colour for Medical Officers and NCOs.
The ribbon bar lacks detail so I simply used the most common colours found on WWI German ribbon bars. I don’t like it but for now it’s the best I can do.
The base for this reasoning of mine, if there is one, is flimsy at best so the colours chosen are for demonstration purposes only!!!
