Hall Green station looks fairly similar now, the main building is intact with the original canopy and that timber shed next to the "Gents" has gone to be replaced by a well tended flower bed. Peters platform has fared less well, the building behind the lady with the beehive hair-do was demolished and the replacement is a bus shelter. This was done at the time the line was slated for closure Hall Green and Yardley wood suffered but Shirley was spared.
By the bridge is a mechanical signal, the box is behind Peter. Leaning against the spear fencing the gardener has left his rake, the running in board has one of the rock edged flower beds. Today the platforms have neat planters and they are filled with well tended plants, volunteers of course.
A Tyseley based Derby class 116 is working to Birmingham in this view.

West Midlands Trains Class 323 No. 323207 draws into Lichfield Trent Valley while forming service 2P33, 1303 ex-Bromsgrove on 30th June 2023. The deteriorating condition of the Cross City Platform 3 will cause it to be closed from 24th July 2023 for removal. A new platform will be installed later in the year, at the time of the next planned closure of the Trent Valley Line. A temporary footbridge will be provided to save the main line platforms.

The Leaderfoot Viaduct, also known as Drygrange Viaduct, crosses the River Tweed near Melrose in the Scottish Borders. It was opened in 1863, to carry the Berwickshire Railway, which connected Reston, on the East Coast mainline, with St Boswells, on the North British 'Waverley' route, via Duns and Greenlaw.
The railway was an early closure not even surviving to the Beeching era - the line was severely damaged by flooding during August 1948, with 7 bridges on the line failing, and as a result closing to passenger traffic almost immediately, with freight continuing on the surviving section until 1965.
The road bridge in the foreground is of an even older vintage. Drygrange Old Bridge was built between 1776 and 1780 and carried the A68 over the Tweed until 1974 when the road was diverted via a new structure a little to the east.

I used this photo to practice with brown tones and texture, trying to achieve the feeling of an old painting.

The bridge is scheduled to be closed from 8 p.m., August 28, until 5 a.m., September 3, while workers take the bridge’s original span out of service and open the new bridge to the Eastern span traffic. The five-day closure of the Bay Bridge is a week away, and Caltrans is urging drivers to plan ahead..When the traffic pattern changed on the Bay Bridge in 2009 there were accidents, including a fatality. Caltrans said the "S" curve was surprising for drivers, but added new span is easier to navigate with gentle curves.
Nearly 300,000 drivers cross the Bay Bridge every day
As this shot could the one of the historical moment of the old bridge with the new bridge. :) My lucky snapshot of the day with the blue moment over San Francisco bay.

Like time suspended,
a wound unmended
you and I.
We had no ending,
no said goodbye;
For all my life,
I'll wonder why.

Guillaume Daniel (G.D.) Delprat, after whom this shaft was named, was a Dutch-Australian metallurgist and mining engineer. An astute businessman, Delprat was Broken Hill Proprietry Limited’s ( BHP) General Manager from 1899 to 1921. He played an important part in the perfecting of a technique that came to be known as the (C.V.) Potter-Delprat flotation process; it revolutionized sulphide ore treatment and brought enormous profits from the metal content of millions of tons (tonnes) of formerly useless tailings.and a developer of the flotation process, which entails separating valuable minerals from gangue (mined rock that is not ore) with water.
The Delprat shaft was sunk in 1900. In 1952, the original wooden headframe was replaced by the present steel structure, and an electric winder replaced a steam engine. The early steam engines used to power mining machinery in the early twentieth century were powered by boilers fuelled by local firewood. Timber was also cut for use in buildings and headframes.
The shaft was closed to mining by the time MMM (Mining for Metal and Minerals) ceased operations in August 1976. It became a tourist mine in 1977, and its closure in 2007 was due to nearby remnant mining operations by CBH Resources.

This was shortly before the closure of the Woodhead route.
Sheffield station plaza, known as Sheaf Square, 2 July 2024.
This station, the fifth and last to be built in the centre, together with twelve miles of new railway from Tapton Junction, Chesterfield, was opened as Sheffield New Midland on 1 February 1870, but also referred to as Pond Street.
At a time when a new facility such as this would normally have been accompanied by a major celebration, a local reporter said that they had 'witnessed more fuss over the opening of a drinking fountain'. It briefly was renamed Sheffield City in 1950/1, but carried the suffix 'Midland' from 1 February 1876 to 5 February 1970, becoming simply Sheffield following the closure of Sheffield Victoria station on 5.1.1970.
The frontage shown here dates from 1905, when the station was enlarged to the design of Charles Trubshaw. Sheaf Square, as the plaza in front of the station is known, was redeveloped from 2002 onward, winning the Railway Project of the Year award in 2006.

Thick ice has formed on the river. Add to that 60 centimetres of snow and a recent downpour of rain that had frozen rapidly.
Bristol Zoo Project, formerly known as Wild Place Project, is a wildlife conservation park in South Gloucestershire. It is run by Bristol Zoological Society (BZS) and was the sister site of Bristol Zoo Gardens until closure of that site in 2022. In summer 2023, Wild Place Project rebranded as "Bristol Zoo Project" following the transition of Bristol Zoo Gardens from their Clifton site. The park has been designed to link specific ecosystems and conservation programmes around the world, current areas include: Bear Wood, Benoué National Park and Discover Madagascar.
Male village weavers construct a woven nest using grass and leaf strips, shaped like a ball with the entrance at the bottom. Females inspect the nest, and if they approve, they move in and lay 2 to 3 eggs. Village weavers derive their name from their skill in weaving nests, and it is common for 8 to 100 males to have nests in the same tree. After mating, the male often leaves to build another nest for a different female. Males can build up to 3 nests in a single breeding season. The female village weaver incubates the eggs alone and raises the chicks. The eggs hatch after about 2 weeks, and once they are approximately 3 weeks old, the nestlings become independent.
Weavers are highly social, engaging in colonial breeding and feeding. They communicate with each other while foraging to maintain flock cohesion and to signal the discovery of food.
They often choose to nest in the same trees as wasps, as a means of deterring predators. The bottom entrance of their nests serves the same purpose.
On Wednesday 6th May, there were a lot of bushfires which caused the closure of the Lady Young Road. This helicopter was seen with its helibucket or bambi bucket lifting water from the gulf to put out the fires.
I watched 2023 near its closure whilst standing by the sea, watching the waves hurl themselves at one another. It has been non-stop wind lately here on the South Coast. So hopefully that brings with it lots of trips to the seaside.
A big thank you to everyone for all your support this year gone. It means a lot. From frosty mornings on the South Downs, to over flowing waterfalls and mountain climbing in North Wales, it has been an amazing year of photography adventures with @t_anyone.
Wishing everyone the best this year and hopefully the world can chill out a little this time. In the meantime I will do my utmost to escape the chaos and retreat into the countryside.
It may be the best I can manage this year. So I guess it's time to get a little closure.
This are two extra guys from "The winning number" doll story. Simon, who supposedly has mental issues, and his psychologist, Olya. And Simon's dog, whose name is just Dog.
The crooked red leaf in the forefront dates back to the mid-2010s. That's when I picked it up from an autumn pile, with the intention to include it in this very scene. It has taught me why fallen leaves should be stored between the pages of a book. It had remained a very beautiful, burgundy-red seashell for the first 5-6 years, and then it curled on itself completely.
The same tineframe goes for the leafy fabric used as the backdrop. That's what happens when your experience as a photographer outgrows the staff you have gathered for a particular photo set. I'm a wunderkind of procrastinating, you know )) Or rather, of waiting for the right moment.
