It was rich with beauty and pain, symbolized both utter defeats and complete victories, and - at this moment - I knew I'd never see its like again. I stood in the quiet, watching in awe, each heartbeat a journey through heartbreak and peace

I did open up something new...my first Greenbush beer, which is brewed a short drive away in Sawyer, Michigan. I enjoyed it. I have five more for another day. I now need to visit the brewery.
Closure - Lukning by Daniel Arrhakis (2025)

"SLØR - Veiled Forms" is the name of a new Series of sculptures made of fabric and wool covering shapes or incorporating geometries.
From the Danish word "Slør" that means "Veil" it is a project of sculptures to be recreated and integrated into exhibition spaces by the artist.
Bit tricky taking a shot this late on as the closure rate is about 1200mph with one thousand feet separation.
Closure Announcement:
What began as a bold collaborative art project became a space for deep reflection on climate, consumerism, AI, and human fragility.
Thank you to everyone who visited, contributed, and helped shape this journey,
It was amazing to share this with you all.

Chester Northgate [CLC] station entrance. The slide says 'closed' which it is but there are clearly 2 DMU's in the station, taken in May 1970
Northgate is said to have closed completely on 6-10-69. The transparency is Kodak and the date stamp confirms the 1970 date. So is it surprising to see units on this date?
I didn't take a photo here until 1971 [Kodak Brownie 127] when it was well and truly closed though the track still in place and even the loco shed still standing.

The Grade II listed rather photogenic Gwennap United Stamps Engine House was constructed in 1899 30 years after the closure of United Mines. It was erected to house a 34 inch stamps engine for the reworking of the mine dumps as Gwennap United

United Mines was formed by the amalgamation of Ale and Cakes Mine, Wheal Cupboard, and Poldory around 1780. Located just south of the Great Consolidated Mines in the parish of Gwennap, they border the villages of St. Day and Crofthandy to the west and the Poldice and Carnon valleys to the north. Later, the group expanded to include Wheal Britannia, Wheal Clifford, Wheal Moor, Wheal Squire, Wheal Andrew (also known as Friendship Mines), and Copper Hill Mine.
Little is known of the history of the individual mines of the United Mines group. Poldory was probably active in 1760. It appears to have commenced production as a small scale tin mine and then been combined with other small-scale mines in the area in 1815 under the name of United Mines.
In the early 1820s, John Taylor obtained the lease for abandoned mines in the Gwennap parish. He initially reworked their setts and eventually discovered the world's richest copper lode at that time. By 1822, the Gwennap Mines were already profitable.
At that time, the primary production in the area was copper, with some tin and ochre also being extracted. The materials were transported north to the port of Portreath for smelting in South Wales via the Portreath Tramroad. As the mines grew more profitable, the tramroad owners increased the trans-shipping fees. In response, John Taylor built his own tramway southward through the Carnon Valley to Devoran on the south coast. The Redruth and Chasewater mineral tramway, initially horse-drawn, opened in 1824 and later switched to steam power mid-nineteenth century. The railway was operational for over 90 years, eventually closing in 1915.
Eldon's pumping engine house, also referred to as Little's, housed a 30-inch cylinder pumping engine and dates back to around the 1830s. Its primary function was to pump water from the adit to the surface.
United Mines continued to expand and eventually merged with the adjacent Consolidated Mines in 1857, forming 'Clifford Amalgamated Mines'. At its zenith, these mines boasted 80 miles of subterranean workings and 22 engines. By 1861, the entire group was incorporated into Great Consolidated as Clifford Amalgamated Mines. From 1835 to 1861, Wheal Clifford extracted 50,167 tons of copper ore at 6.5% purity and 365 tons of black tin. During the same period, the other mines in the United Downs group yielded 347,500 tons of copper ore at 7.5% purity, 250 tons of black tin, 158 tons of arsenic, 1,290 tons of pyrite, and 271 tons of zinc ore.
Declining metal prices ultimately led to the closure of mines around 1870.
From 1899 into the early 20th century the mine dumps were reworked and engines installed for puping water for ore processing as well as for powering stamps.
The area was prospected again in the 1940’s and brief trial mining operations were conducted but no commercial mining took place.
Very sad to say our lovely village stores is shutting down next Saturday so this is the last of the bread portraits I guess. Very sad day for the village. It was a super oasis of life and smiles.
By the early 1980s, the Pittsburgh Line was looking like a different railroad altogether. Mainline tracks were removed, signals taken out, and towers were closed, their operations being taken over by a dispatcher miles away in Pittsburgh. In most cases, the infrastructure that wasn't needed, such as signals and towers, were removed almost instantly. JD Tower, at New Florence, PA, was one of the exceptions. By the time Mister Peterson took this shot in the final month of 1980, JD had been closed for over a year. The resilient tower was closed in the fall of 1979, the interlocking, now named CP CONPIT, had been the first on the Pittsburgh Line to be controlled by a dispatcher. The entire Conemaugh Line, as well as the towers between CONPIT and WING had been closed by the time this shot was taken. The fact that JD still stood, a year after its closure, was something neat, and hopefully that inspired Mister Peterson's shot on this cold and snowy day. JD would be torn down in the coming years. Today, CP CONPIT is still at this location, and a small pile of bricks in the embankment near main one is the only clue that an interlocking tower ever existed at this location.

Pulling power… Signalman Robert Collins at the 16-lever GWR 5-bar vertical tappet frame, dating from 1938, in the signal box at Hampton Loade station on the Severn Valley Railway during the autumn steam gala on 15th September 2022. The original signal box was brought into use in 1883 in conjunction with the addition of a loop and second platform.
On the closure of the line in 1963, the box was largely dismantled, with parts reportedly being used to build a chicken coop in the garden of the station house. The box was rebuilt, starting in 1971, using parts from the original box and that at Stourport, incorporating the lever frame from Ledbury North End.

After the last shot I posted, made up in the north near the Arctic Circle, I’m returning back south in my homeland (Italy), in the heart of one of the most impressive locations of this peninsula: the mighty Dolomites!
After spending a couple of days photographing clear skies (too much clear skies, for God’s sake!) like it was August, finally that day, just after sunrise, some dark clouds were approaching, announcing the storm of the day after.
The photo is taken from the famous Seiser Alm, one of the most known places of this part of the Dolomites, and I think you can see why! Even if someone told me that the place can get pretty crowded during the high season or in certain periods, that morning we were just a bunch of photogs and that helped me to breathe the true atmosphere of this place!
Photographically speaking, the most famous view from this place is the one with the Sassolungo and Sassopiatto mountains on the background, but when I saw those firing larches I seriously couldn’t resist to shot this panorama!

Dopo l’ultimo scatto fatto nei dintorni del Circolo Polare Artico, me ne torno parecchio più a sud nella mia Patria, nel cuore di una delle location più suggestive della penisola: le fantastiche Dolomiti!
Dopo aver passato un paio di giorni a fotografare cieli tersi come se ne possono trovare d’agosto al mare, finalmente poco dopo l’alba qualche nuvola iniziava ad arrivare, preannunciando la tempesta del giorno dopo.
Questa foto è stata fatta dall’Alpe di Siusi, uno dei posti forse più turistici di questa parte delle Dolomiti, e sicuramente c’è un perché! Anche se, come ho appena detto, il luogo è molto conosciuto, quella mattina eravamo pochissimi il che mi ha fatto sicuramente apprezzare di più il posto. Probabilmente, a livello fotografico, la veduta più famosa è quella con le baite in primo piano e il gruppo del Sassolungo e Sassopiatto sullo sfondo; quando però ho notato questi larici infuocati che contrastavo benissimo con le nuvole scure, ho mollato tutto ed iniziato a fotografare in quella direzione! Spero vi piaccia!
Well, it’s been a blast, but Brunswych Jct will be closing in July. New premises have been allocated for Brunswych Management Team but no fixed location for Brunswych Rail Exemplary Locos (BREL). A month before closure, 40173 heads a diverted service under Brunswych Bridge.

A massive thank you to each and everyone in attendance at the opening of Closure
Special thank yous to Callum, Joy, Steve, Brian and everybody else who has made this possible..
Black faux suede handbag with cherry print lining and velcro closure. You can see the lining if you look close!
I do enjoy making handbags. Never have to worry about getting the fit right. heh.
About two years ago, I took this view flic.kr/p/J9VCkt at Loadstone in northern New South Wales, a location I liked because it had a creek, and was reasonably quiet.
After wondering how I could actually show the train as more than just a streak of light, I set out on buying a bunch of flashes and a lot of experimenting.
I've had this repeat view in mind for well over a year, but being stubborn I doggedly waited for the chance to repeat it. It was only recently everything fell into place. So here is another interpretation of that shot from two years ago, with a whole lot of extra experience. I'm not sure now whether I'm done with this location...
This is a multiple exposure, one for the train, another for the trees, and many, many photos of the stars rotating above.

Carta (Sibiu County): Cistercian monastery
The city and monastery of Carta are located 43 km from Sibiu on the road to Brasov. Here are preserved the ruins of the Cistercian monastery, one of the oldest and most important monuments of the primitive Gothic church in Transylvania. The Cistercians are a monastic order originating in France and widespread in several countries.
The Carta Cistercian Abbey played a major role in the political, economic and cultural history of medieval Transylvania, as well as in the introduction but also in the dissemination of Gothic art in the inter-Carpathian space.
The monastery was founded in the years 1205-1206 by King Andrew II of Hungary.
The beginnings of the monastery are confirmed with the erection of its first buildings, used, as the Cistercians used it, from perishable materials, that is to say wood. These can be dated with relative certainty between the years 1205-1206.
The stone parts of the monastery will be erected between the years 1220 and the end of 1230. The construction of the monastery was carried out in two main phases of execution, chronologically interrupted by the great Tatar invasion of 1241.
In the first phase of construction, which has stylistic characteristics dependent on the late Romanesque, the general plan of the monastery was drawn, the walls delimiting its inner courtyard being raised to a height of 3-4m above the ground.
In 1260, after the assassination caused by the Mongol invasion in the spring of 1241, construction work will resume under the direction of a new architect, trained in the environment of mature Gothic, and with the contribution of a workshop of stone with an eclectic structure.
By 1300, the church and the eastern wing of the Charter Monastery were completed, with the completion and construction of the southern wing of the abbey continuing for approximately two decades.
The fierce struggles with the Ottomans from 1421 to 1432 and the decline of the order made the church and its monastery a ruin. This also led to its closure by King Mathias Corvin in 1474.
However, the west facade is still standing and above the Gothic portal is a large rose window. The tower attached to the facade was built later, in the middle of the 15th century, and its transformation into a bell tower took place later.
Currently, the monastery no longer has all the original buildings and annexes, many of which collapse. The vaults of the huge church have collapsed and there are only a few exterior walls and two interior beams (south and north). To the south, there is still a single Roman column, and the side ships, according to the Cistercian plan, end in a small square choir. The main ship no longer has a ceiling - in its place is a cemetery in memory of the German soldiers killed in the First World War.
The Reformed Church today occupies only the choir and the apse of the old basilica. The Gothic portal has probably been moved from a side entrance and its profile betrays Gothic influences.
Numerous examples of the tombs of the founders of Cistercian churches allow the existence of a royal necropolis under Carta.

A public footpath on the former South Staffordshire Railway in Rushall, Walsall, West Midlands.
The line once connected Lichfield with Dudley. However, it joined the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway's line just north of Dudley Station, where it continued to Stourbridge.
The line was opened in 1850. This was soon to become part of the London and North Western Railway as far as Dudley station, which, in 1860, was opened as a joint venture with the OW&WR itself later to become amalgamated into the Great Western Railway.
Dudley provided a useful change point for passengers from Walsall and Stourbridge to Wolverhampton, though this was not utilised to quite the effect the OW&WR had hoped, due to the similar connection at Dudley Port by the SSR with the Stour Valley Line.
To the north of Dudley Port, a link to the Birmingham Snow Hill- Wolverhampton Low Level route was added sometime between the inauguration of the line and the opening of Great Bridge South railway station in 1866. All three of the above - Dudley Port, Great Bridge and Wednesbury - were completed in 1850, and the line was then opened accordingly. All other stations on the route - from Lichfield to Walsall - were in operation from 1849.
Passenger travel existed on this route from then through until 1965 with the fall of the Beeching Axe. Only one station closed in the meantime- Rushall being closed in 1909. The OW&WR portion of the line was closed pre-Beeching, in 1962. The line was used as a through route from Walsall right up until the closure of the line on in 1993, mainly being used for freight duties at the Dudley Freightliner Terminal.
Traffic on the line, which had been declining since the 1970s largely due to deindustrialisation of the Black Country, continued to slump after the terminal's closure, and decreased the line's viability.
The section of railway north of Walsall had already been closed, with the last train using the route on 19 March 1984 and the track being lifted two years later.
The Brierley Hill to Walsall section of the line officially closed on 19 March 1993, nine years to the day that the Walsall-Lichfield line had closed. There were a handful of other movements on the line after its official closure, including a cable-laying train which covered the route on its journey from Birmingham to Stafford. The line from Stourbridge Junction to Round Oak Steel Terminal is all that remains of the line, though virtually all the track on the closed section towards Walsall is in place.
Several plans have been made to restart the line including connecting it to the Midland Metro tram line but so far, no action has been taken.

Monasterio San Jose
(fundación hoy extinguida y que funcionó como seminario menor, filosofado, noviciado y teologado). La fundación de esta casa se verificó el 25 de noviembre de 1939 (los primeros seminaristas llegaron entre marzo y abril de 1939). El convento construido sobre planos del afamado arquitecto Alejandro Bustillo y donado por doña Manuela Nevares de Monasterio, se inauguró el 21 de abril de 1940. Se cerró como seminario en 1954 y el cierre definitivo y posterior venta de la propiedad se produjo el 17 de abril de 1974.

Monasterio San Jose
San Jose Monastery: (foundation now extinguished and which functioned as minor seminary, philosophized, novitiate and theologate). The foundation of this house was verified on November 25, 1939 (the first seminarians arrived between March and April 1939). The convent built on plans of the famous architect Alejandro Bustillo and donated by Mrs. Manuela Nevares de Monasterio, was inaugurated on April 21, 1940. It was closed as a seminar in 1954 and the final closure and subsequent sale of the property occurred on April 17 of 1974.
"Evening Closure:" This was the last photo I took on this particular evening at the Grand Canyon, as the light was fading and the rain began to come down, and I still had a 20 minute hike back to the car. But the solitude afforded here was peaceful.
A view from the 1963 Look at Life film, High, Wide and Faster, featured the upgrading of Britain’s transport infrastructure. While the railways were being modernised, unremunerative lines such as the branch to Abingdon were set for closure. Nothing survives from this Great Western scene, apart perhaps from the single-unit "Bubble Car" diesel. These enjoyed long lives and many were snapped up by the preserved line.
