Below is a quote from Wikipedia:
"...Back to the Roots is a 1971 double album by John Mayall released on Polydor. Recording sessions took place both in California and London where Mayall invited some former members of his band, notably guitarists Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor.
At the end of the 1980s Mayall remixed some tracks and issued them along with some of the older material as Archives to Eighties. An expanded two-CD version of Back to the Roots now includes both the original and later remixed versions of the tracks..."

The Kogge is a reconstructed ship in Kampen. It was reconstructed from a wreck that was found not too far from Kampen in the Flevopolder. It dated from 1336. They used the information from this wreckage as well as archival research to reconstruct this ship as authentically as possible. This was completed in 1998. It is usually moored at the Kogge wharf in Kampen at the river Ijssel. (photo taken by my brother)

This was originally a commission build, in collaboration with Dai Yuan, for Warner Bros at their DC Fandome event, but was not lucky enough to get displayed, so I thought I would post them here as archive instead :)
I spent a lot of time trying to capture the anatomy of a human face, and have used quite a few rare pieces to get the shape right. I am particularly proud of my choice for the eyeball element, it came completely by accident (they were the only 3x3 dome pieces I had in hand) but works surprisingly well!!
There was a small easter egg at the back of the Joker's head, which also took quite some time to fit it in! stay tuned for more pics :)

Taken with an iPhone in India last year. I am happy there is such thing as archives because this summer was a killer for photography. I mean photography killer. So darn hot...going out with the camera, other than to the museum, was not an option. Which is a good excuse to set free some of the old, trapped in the archives, shots. Like this one.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
I did not go inside all all that is there is a movie to be seen.....
The Maison Carrée (Square House) stands in the centre of town. Dating from the 1st century AD, it was dedicated to Caius and Lucius Caesar, adopted grandsons of Emperor Augustus.
It has been used for various functions since the 11th century. It served as a consulate, a stable, apartments, and a church, as well as archives and a museum.
Tourist information describes it as "the only fully preserved temple of the ancient world."
The Boeing 757 celebrated a major milestone this year as it celebrated 34 years since it took her first flight on 19th February 1982... The narrow-body jet was important for Boeing as it replaced the Boeing 727 on a number of regional flights, but developed into a true long-haul passenger jet being capable of flying across the Atlantic with a full payload, depending on weather conditions.
The Boeing 757 also saw the first time Boeing launched a passenger jet that did not include American built engines. Rolls-Royce RB211 engines were launched with the airliner with Pratt & Whitney soon launching the PW2000. As the Boeing 757 started to lean away from the Boeing 727, it started to gain design influences from the Boeing 767 which has already entered service.
The Boeing 757 ceased production of the Boeing 757 in 2005 and saw the Boeing 737 take-over the role as the designated narrow-body jet, however the Airbus A321 has made it a much closer replacement overall. For Boeing, the idea of building a true replacement for the Boeing 757 is still floating with it being code-named "MOM", also known as Middle of Market.
Today, the Boeing 757 continues to play a key role for a number of airlines, either on short-haul and long-haul flights. A number of airlines have started to replace them like they are out of fashion. American Airlines and United Airlines being the prime examples.
Essentially this image is now classed as archive, Thomas Cook no longer operates the Boeing 757-200, the last examples having been withdrawn in January 2016. The company still operates just 2 Boeing 757-300's on high-capacity flights, with Condor Boeing 757-300's operating on behalf of Thomas Cook in Manchester. Thomas Cook have operated 21 Boeing 757-200's, now replaced in favour of Airbus A321's.
Tango Charlie Bravo Bravo was supposed to be delivered new to British Airways as G-CPEY but was never taken up in the end. Ultimately, she was delivered new to National Airlines in June 1999 as N546NA until passing over to China Southern in June 2004 as B-2860 on lease from BBAM. In April 2010, her lease had expired and passed to Babcock & Brown before being acquired by Thomas Cook in January 2011 on lease from BBAM until being withdrawn in October 2015. She is now under the jurisdiction of DHL Air although is currently in storage at Jacksonville, Florida.

All my current shots are about six months old. Perhaps regarded as archive shots but I am always behind the times or I would never get away from flickr. I can't find a name on this rather fascinating craft that was moored in the Brisbane River between the Botanic Gardens on the city side and Kangaroo Point cliffs on the other. Whoever she is, there is a sleek mermaid on her bow and plenty of solar panels, so that's who she be to me! Solar Mermaid.
The backside of the Warner Mountains marks the beginning of the desert in the northeastern corner of California in Modoc County. A series of three alkali lakes dot the floor of Surprise Valley. Often dry by the end of summer, the earlier month will find them full of brackish water.
I had spent a day hiking in the Warners one summer when the sky was drab with haze from forest fires to the west. The light was mediocre at best. But as the sun sank, the sky went from gray to mauve to this pinkish purple. Windlines on the lake disturbed the reflective surface and the brilliant sky color was reflected in a ring around Upper Alkali lake that finally gave me something to take the camera back out and get excited about.

Sackville Street was also to be the location for one of the last sculptural
initiatives in the city before independence when, in 1899, the foundation stone
was laid for a monument dedicated to Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891).
On 3 January 1882 a resolution was passed by Dublin City Council to grant the
freedom of the city to Parnell. Later that year, on 15 August 1882 Parnell
arrived at the unveiling ceremony for the O’Connell Monument accompanying
the archbishop in his ceremonial carriage. A scene which would seem unlikely
as subsequent events in Parnell’s personal life unfolded.
The plan for the Parnell monument was instigated by John Redmond (who
succeeded Parnell as leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party) partly as a
symbolic gesture to honour the ‘uncrowned king of Ireland’ and to consolidate
his aspiration to reunite the constitutionalists under his own leadership. The
monument would be funded through the efforts of a voluntary body, the Parnell
Committee founded in 1898. The committee was chaired by Lord Mayor Daniel
Tallon, other members were Count Plunkett, Dr. J.E. Kenny, John Redmond,
MP, Thomas Baker (manager of the Irish Independent) and the Hon. Edward
Archive Consultants O’Connell Street Monument Report – Nov 2003 17
Blake, MP20. The address of the committee was 39 Upper Sackville Street
where the offices of the United Irish League were recorded. It was first
proposed to place the monument on the site of the Thomas Moore statue,
which they offered to remove elsewhere at their own expense.21 The City
Council refused to grant this site however and directed that the monument be
erected on a site near the Rotunda Hospital,22 where it now stands in answer
the O’Connell statue at the south end and terminates the parade of nationalist
statues on the primary thoroughfare of the capital.
Owing to the split in the party over the O’Shea case, the ceremony for the
laying of the foundation stone on 8 October 189923, was marred by a
conspicuous absence of most of the I.P.P., city and county magistrates, as
well as Roman Catholic bishops and clergy, proceedings were also marred by
heckling from extreme nationalists against Redmond’s weak plea for unity24.
Financial support was going to be hard come by in Ireland and Redmond was
forced to tour America with a representative of the Parnell monument
committee to raise funds.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens25, an Irish-born sculptor and the most eminent in the
art of public monuments in the United States, accepted the commission. It was
however to prove a protracted project. The demand for Saint-Gaudens’ work in
America was such that completion of the Parnell project would be fraught with
delays. At around the same time he was working on the equestrian statue of
General Sherman (1903, New York).
Archive Consultants O’Connell Street Monument Report – Nov 2003 18
For the Parnell monument, he made a scale replica of the buildings and
square in Dublin and also a full scale model of the monument in wood in a field
near his studio26. In 1904 there was a disastrous fire in his studio and only the
head of the statue was saved. He appears to have been bitten by the
nationalist zeal and is quoted as saying ‘More than all the rest of my losses in
the fire I regret, as an Irishman, the loss of the Parnell statue.’27 SaintGaudens planned a monument which would integrate sculpture and
architecture. The original concept of a bronze figure of about 8 feet high placed
by a bronze table was to be set against a 30 foot pyramid. As this form was
already utilised in the Wellington monument obelisk, Saint-Gaudens and the
architect Henry Bacon proposed a triangular shaft almost double the height of
the original. Saint-Gaudens developed a detailed picture of Parnell from
photographs, cartoons and accounts of his habits, the clothes he wore and his
demeanour. He indicated to Redmond that the entire monument should be ‘as
simple, impressive and austere as possible, in keeping with the character of
the Irish cause as well as of Parnell.’
He finally presented Parnell in what he considered a noble and calm manner,
depicted in an open frock coat, with one hand resting on a table and the other
extended dramatically as if making a point at a parliamentary debate. In an
incongruous gesture to the neo-classical programme of decoration on the
nearby Rotunda, the base of the monument is decorated in swags and
bucrania, resulting in an odd proximity of ox-sculls to Parnell’s feet.
The shaft of the monument is constructed in undecorated ashlar granite. The
stone was described in an article in The Irish Architect and Craftsman as
Archive Consultants O’Connell Street Monument Report – Nov 2003 19
Shantalla granite from Galway with an “inlaid trefoil of Barna granite embracing
the base and pedestal”.28 The names of the thirty-two counties and provinces
on bronze plaques around the base were part of an earlier scheme for the
four-sided pyramid, representing the four provinces and were retained for the
revised triangular shaft.
There is a stark contrast between the presentation of Parnell and O’Connell,
the former does not symbolically rise above political structures, but tries to find
a new form of expression, accessible to the people in the location of the figure.
Redmond chose a passage from one of the more extreme Parnell speeches
for the inscription, ‘…no man has the right to say to his country, “thus far shalt
thou go and no further” and we have never attempted to fix the ne plus ultra to
the progress of Ireland’s nationhood, and we never shall’.
On 1 October 191129, the monument was unveiled to large crowds, many of
whom had been absent from the foundation stone ceremony, but there were
also strikes and marches indicating the unrest to follow.
In June 1913, John Redmond, as Secretary to the Parnell Monument
Committee, wrote to the City Council requesting the council to take the
Monument into their charge, ‘….on behalf of the Citizens of Dublin….’30 The
Council agreed to this request and since then, the Parnell Monument has been
in the care of the Corporation of Dublin.
Archive Consultants O’Connell Street Monument Report – Nov 2003 20
The inscription on the monument reads:
To Charles Stewart Parnell
No Man has a right to fix the
Boundary to the march of a nation
No man has a right
To say to his country
Thus far shat thou
Go and no further
We have never
Attempted to fix
The ne-plus-ultra
To the progress of
Ireland’s nationhood
And we never shall
At the base of the statue the Irish inscription reads:
Go roimhigid Dia

The Joseph F. Smith Family Living Center was completed in 1957, the largest building on BYU’s campus at the time at 94,000 square feet and with 244 rooms. The Living Center was built to help BYU become a “leader in the field of family relations.” In the groundbreaking ceremony, architect Fred Markham said, “No other college or structure of this kind is known in a university today. Its concept lies in the LDS philosophy which recognizes the home and family as the heart of our earth life experience.”

British Airways continues to transition itself with fleets of new planes entering service with 747's and 767's bowing out of traffic, however its time for some changes to take place on this photostream from here on in...
Because of changing interests, commercial and general aviation will be the main fixture on here from now on, its not to say I won't be leaving buses and trains, but they won't be featured as much anymore... They will still appear (such as archives, latest news, some odd workings if notable) but not as much as they use to, taking a backseat. A bold move but hopefully better in the long-term.
So, buses and trains are not going to be featured as much anymore, if not at all...

Alright, i’ll explain how I ended up here, not that any of you asked, i just need to fill up space.
Anyways, my main intention for today was to get that park and ride enviro, which i did. Once I got that i then got the bus, which, being my stupid self, I didn’t check the route number. I was going to get off at station for another shot of the enviro.
The driver then went down Carr lane and then onto anlaby road, which i then released it was the 57......
And then there’s me not knowing where to get off, but i eventually released about the mural, so hessle road was my stop. I got a few usable shots, which i’ll probably upload as archives.
Anyways, after this was took I then took the bus to station, then the depot which was well... useless, as all the photos i got where buses i’ve already got, and flickr spam isn’t good for both the author and the reader.
Anyways, that’s my day I guess. The 20 to Priory park, in march due to covid, was cut from every 15 minutes to every hour. Due to this, throughout lockdown only a sole E200 MMC was required to do its runs for key workers. And here we are in August, still every hour. God, there must be low/no demand for it except for the workers at Priory park. Isn’t the 20 no longer council funded now? As always, if you have information to add on, please comment below.

This is a LEGO model of the entrance to the Kings Valley tomb 35 or KV35 which was discovered by Victor Loret in 1898. The tomb contained the mummy of 18th Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep II still in his original sarcophagus and a cache of more than 12 other mummies that had been placed there by ancient Egyptian priests after their own tombs had been robbed.
Beneath this entrance is a model of the complete tomb, passageways, well shaft, burial chamber and all.
Its a bit of a change from my usual buildings of Detroit stuff but I needed a break. I made up a somewhat dramatized version of the tomb discovery story in comics style and posted it on www.mocpages.com/moc.php/149039 in case you want to take a look.

Not all that far back but significant enough to be classed as **archivical** If that is even a word! *lol*.
.. If not, Then it is Now... .Ha!.
Don't you just adore the feeling of sitting cross legged on a barstool dressed in really nice attractive clothing in a nice upbeat respectable place?
The credibility factor goes into high gear in my head at that point and when I realize that I am ok I feel the good vibes all the way down to my toes... .
Oh and by the way. If you are someone who loves to wear form fitting dresses and sexy shoes and go out and do your thing then think about this. , Blondes don't have any more fun than anyone else because for me it's more about the clothes, like Stockings, Slips and Panties and of course the always essential sexy shoes. **Wink**.
Thanks for stopping by and if you liked this piccy a lot then please say so. It's not that difficult to come up with something to say and takes almost no time at all to write those thoughts down below the picture.
Thanks for following me, I really appreciate it and to hear from someone of the same mindset is always a thrill too.

London Metropolitan University (informally London Met) is a public university located in London, United Kingdom. It was established on 1 August 2002 by the amalgamation of the University of North London (formerly the Polytechnic of North London, established in 1896) and London Guildhall University (formerly the City Polytechnic, established in 1848). The University has campuses in the City of London and in the London Borough of Islington, with a museum, as well as archives and libraries. The Women's Library houses the Fawcett Society archives and other material on the history of feminism. The other collections are the TUC Library, the Irish Studies Collection and the Frederick Parker Collection.
In 2011, following a review of its undergraduate education provision which revealed that 80% of its students were on just 80 courses, London Met announced it would be slimming down its course offering. On 30 August 2012, the University's "highly-trusted status" with the UK Border Agency of the Home Office was revoked, revoking the University's right to sponsor new visa applications for non-EU/EEA foreign students, as well as revoking the existing visas of the University's pre-existing non-European foreign students, causing them to be excluded from the University, and compelling them to seek places with alternative institutions.

Walton Monroe Mills, Inc. was founded in 1895 by George Felker whose family had been established in Monroe County since 1820. Although he had to borrow most of the funds at high interest rates, the mill succeeded. In the early days, Felker employed only as many staff as absolutely necessary and ran the administrative office pretty much by himself. He wrote his letters in long hand and copied them (no such thing as cut-and-paste!) into the company books that served as archives. He inspected, weighed, classified, and purchased all the cotton for production and was his company's only salesman.
When his son, George Felker III, took over the company in 1962, the textile industry was undergoing major changes brought on by fierce foreign competition, tighter profit margins, and runaway technology. In 1964, a "Textile World" article warned mill owners to heed advancing trends or go out of business. George Felker III took the advice, streamlined his mill and carried it through the 1960s and 1970s.
In 1980, the third generation of Felkers took over the mills. G. Stephen Felker whose passion was with literature, Hemingway and Joyce in particular, unexpectedly became president of Walton Monroe. At first, sales began to drop, and Felker decided to take out a huge loan and upgrade his mill with state-of-the art equipment that not only addressed the current but also any future needs. This aggressive approach enabled the company to double its sales as well as weather the challenges several trade agreements (GATT, MFA, NAFTA) would bring. In 1984, Walton Monroe bought North Carolina's Dakotah Mills, and in 1986, Alabama's Avondale. The latter had been declining and was revived when Felker spent $ 40 million revamping it.
In 1993, Walton Monroe Mills Inc. employed 5,000 workers and averaged $ 500 million in sales per year. In January 2005, a train wreck near the Avondale Mill in Graniteville, SC killed eight people, six of whom were employed at Walton Monroe, and a $ 215 million settlement followed. Unable to recover from this setback, the company closed its Monroe headquarters and was sold off in 2006, leaving 4000 workers unemployed. At the time, it was run by the 4th generation, Stephen Felker Jr.
Today, the old mill district is in the process of being restored. The building on the left has already received new windows. The entire district encompasses 1200 acres and 236 buildings and has been added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
Behind this structure runs Madison Street with its row of old mill houses, most of them in pretty good shape. To the left is a Paintball operation, strangely out of place and surely doomed as renovation concludes.

Text-in ink: Hi--It seems a lot is happening up north. All we're doing is walking the beach, swimming both the pool and ocean, golfing on the putting green, and visiting. Weather is marvelous. Each and every day sunny, warm, and windy. No problem to getting a tow. We probably will leave here Thur or Fri., taking it slow going home.
P.S. How about Barb's engagement and the fire?
P.S.S. We will stop at [Cape] Canaveral and the Swamps.
Lillian."
