5407 approaches the road crossing at Weston Rhyn with a Crewe Chester Circular, not sure, but the chap looking out of the support coach wearing a cap could well be Paddy Smith, the then owner of the engine.
Although the signalman turned a blind eye to the large gallery for this, you would never get away with it now.
Yet another location consigned to the history books.

Vers quatre heures du matin, le 26 février 2020, par ciel variable, je vois brusquement la silhouette d'une barge naviguant sur le fleuve à la hauteur de l'Île-d'Orléans. Elle est enveloppée d'un nuage noir et vaporeux. En quelques instants il ne resta plus de l'étrange navire qu'une faible lueur à l'horizon. L'événement fut consigné dans mon livre de bord et photographié avant sa disparition...
A one time common sight across France with 100's of daily services diagram for a 1960's BB 67400 (the French equivalent to the UK's Class 47). Only two diagrams are now left which utilises two engines daily on a total of four services. One such service is the 05:40 Saint-Dié-des-Vosges to Strasbourg seen here waiting departure time with its push-pull RRR train set. New to traffic on 26th June 1972 it's still in the livery it was delivery in 51 years ago. It can't be long now before these popular machines which once numbered 426 examples are consigned to history.

Didier Lallement, le préfet de Paris réputé pour ses consignes de violences policières à l'égard des gilets jaunes, des migrants et des manifestants en tous genres.
Manif "contre la loi sécurité globale à Paris et lutte contre la précarité" qui était organisée de la Porte des Lilas à la Place de la République.
J'ai rejoint la manif à pied (un peu avant 14 h, heure de départ officielle du cortège), en remontant la rue St Fargeau puis en prenant le bd Gambetta. J'ai été sidérée par le nombre de policiers tout le long de mon trajet, une véritable armée. Entre 13h30 et 14h, rue Saint Fargeau, des centaines de gendarmes, et plus d'une centaines de cars de gendarmes qui étaient garés (moteur ronflant) cul à cul tout le long de la rue St Fargeau. A partir du bd Gambetta, des centaines de CRS formaient une double file de chaque côté du boulevard. Ils laissaient passer les passants qui visiblement rejoignaient la manif (et qui allaient repartir dans l'autre sens avec le cortège). C'était impressionnant, toute cette armée policière en tenue robocop, et important à bien avoir en tête pour comprendre la suite...
Quand j'ai appris en effet par la suite qu'il y avait eu des "casseurs" bd Gambetta, la manipulation était évidente : c'était IMPOSSIBLE, avec cette armée de policiers en place une demi-heure avant le départ, de casser, sans leur "accord", une vitrine ou une voiture, alors même que les forces de police étaient assez nombreuses (des centaines) pour former une double haie d'honneur tout le long du bd Gambetta !
On devine évidemment l'objectif de cette manipulation (parce que cela en est une) pour la police, la préfecture et l'Etat : on communique à fond sur des "casseurs" en ne parlant que de "violences" de manifestants (les manifestants n'étaient pas violents) au lieu évidemment de parler des violences policières, de la loi de "sécurité globale", des bavures policières, des yeux crevés de manifestants... ce pourquoi on était venu manifester. Une diversion grossière.
Et je ne parle même pas de la suite : on enfume les manifestants avec des gaz lacrymo, on les "nasse", on les oblige à quitter le cortège par les petites rues adjacentes (impossible de revenir ensuite). Et on communique en donnant des chiffres sous-évalués du nombre réel de manifestants pour dire que la mobilisation s'affaiblit. Tout cela largement relayé par certains gros médias très complaisants qui s'égosillent sur les "casseurs".
At first glance this picture was nearly consigned to the archives but after some processing it is fast becoming one of my favourites of the year.
I don't know what Flickr does to pictures once uploaded but there is a real softness and quality to the light when viewed in Lightroom which is lost on Flickr. Don't know if it's jpeg resizing or Flickr auto sharpening but it looses some of it's impact on here.

Stagecoach's Specialist livery introduced in early 2020 never really appealed to me, probably because of the shade of green employed - Ocean Green - and because green was a colour that I had difficulty associating with the company. However, with the advent of the latest Steel Blue corporate scheme, the livery is now being consigned to history.
Three Alexander ALX400-bodied Dennis Tridents in the West fleet (18420-2) received the green variation, presumably for contract work that they undertook when based at North Bristol depot. These were new to the East fleet's Peterborough depot, hence their 'AE' registration marks, transferring to West in Autumn 2019. After their days in Bristol, they transferred to Swindon depot and came out of service in July 2025.
My photo from May 2021 shows 18422 passing along Rupert Street in Bristol City Centre when operating a contract to the Amazon Distribution Centre at Severn Beach.
Australian National broad gauge locos 961/CK2/846 wait to depart the Penrice Quarry near Angaston, South Australia with the daily limestone train form the quarry to the soda ash works at Port Adelaide - Saturday 2 July 1994.
All three locos had a bit of tale to tell, but 961 leading had been re-painted the previous year into a special livery to run tourist trains around South Australia. The initiative was not a success and 961 was consigned to working freight trains for the rest of its career.
The stone train from the Barossa Valley stopped running in mid-2014.

This is really good WabiSabi! I LOVE these old New Balance shoes but they are finally starting to break down. They are now consigned to the back door for gardening! Still darned comfortable though! HMM
Long before it became a celebrity repaint in its original BR blue colours the Romanian Grid is still spotless in original paint as it carries out the duties it was built for - colliery to power station coal traffic - now all but consigned to history. No one could have predicted the end of king coal 40 years later for power generation in the UK.

Sunrise pushes the night away and spreads light on the new day. It's one of the few certainties in life. The birds serenade as dawn consigns the night into the memories of yesterdays. Another night gone and another day born. Our beauiful world, pass it on.
Only five to six on an early November evening and it feels like the middle of night. Time for some 'steady hand' photography using headlights and street lighting to their best effect.
With the 29 storey Meridian Tower looking on, First Cymru Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC 67092 is captured using the West Way bus stops, adjacent to Swansea City Bus Station, picking up a load of students heading for the University Campus and Hendrefoilan Student Village.
"Metro" Service 4 moved from West Way into the Bus Station from 1st November, and the remaining services (8, 501 and 503) are due to follow suit in the New Year, meaning that this will be another scenic location that will soon be consigned to history.

Fear no more the frown of the great,
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.

This was taken in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. While it was my intention to make a time lapse video however the density and spread of the clouds consigned that wishful thinking to oblivion. To avoid squandering whatever opportunities were still present I decided to capture still shots with my Seestar S50 as and when the clouds parted. This one was captured 6 minutes downstream from the theoretical maximum obscuration at 12:12 am EDT on August 28, 2026. The original (jpeg quality) image was processed using a mobile app version of Luminar. The parameters I adjusted are generally standard for an eclipsed lunar image. Thus, I adjusted Highlights, Blacks and Shadows. Then Contrast, Structure, Color and Saturation followed by a Curves adjustment. Lastly, I applied a Vignette. A good bit of experimentation was involved. Considering my low expectations, once I realized the circumstances I was operating under, this is my take.
This shot should have been consigned to the bin but thanks to Sliders Sunday it's been saved; Hurrah!

Backlit and dark, but now consigned to history, another branchline that’s just a memory. The Picola Branch was made famous by author Patsy Adam Smith who grew up in Waaia, one of the stations along the line.
It’s not up to my usual photographic standards for this site, and took a lot of restoration to get it this far, but it has significance in my railway “experience”.

Sorry for another Black Tern but it seems a shame to consign these to the file of obscurity by not uploading. This one shows the diagnostic shoulder patch which separates it from all other juvenile or non-breeding plumaged terns apart from the recently split American Black Tern (which has smoky flanks, unlike the clean white flanks on this bird). It has doing so many twists and turns that most of my photos show its tail spread wide, but they closed tail shows the "chip fork" shape. This young bird spent a few days at Pugney's Country Park near Wakefield in West Yorkshire recently.

2 types d'hôtellerie très différents
Un hôtel charmant dans un grand parc , avec des cases typiques ( petite suite ) pour les chambres et une très grande pour la restauration....A l'intérieur un nombre important de serveurs ..... qui doivent avoir la consigne d'être toujours au travail... un vrai tourbillon....mais sympa
Construit en 1966, l'hôtel Los Caneyes est entouré d'eucalyptus, de cocotiers et de palmiers. Sa construction recrée un village de Tainos aborigènes à la forme de caneyes (genre de cases ou cabanes) d'où le nom de l'hôtel.
Santa Clara est la capitale de la province de Villa Clara. Elle est située à 260 km (298 km par la route) au sud-est de La Havane. Sa population était estimée à 207 963 habitants en 2007. Elle fut fondée en 1689 par les habitants de Remedios qui, par peur des attaques de pirates, avaient fui la côte Pendant la révolution cubaine, le 28 décembre 1958, accompagné de seulement 300 hommes, Che Guevara parvint à prendre la ville avec l'aide d'une partie de la population et à vaincre les quelque 3 000 soldats du dictateur Batista qui la défendaient.C'est aussi là que le Che a été inhumé en 1997
Varadero ... Sur la route qui nous ramène vers le nord , après avoir découvert quelques cayos ( ilots , presqu'ile , reliés entre eux par une belle route qui épargne les mangroves , une petite halte ( 2 nuits ) pour quand même profiter des belles plages et fonds sous marins poissonneux de Varadero .
A 40 km de Matanzas,et 145 km de la Havane avec laquelle Varadero est relié par une route (à l'époque ,sans doute la meilleure de Cuba)
Varadero est un village devenu une station balnéaire réputée dans le monde entier sur les bords de l'atlantique. C'est ici que fut construit le premier hôtel balnéaire de l'île, en 1940. Aujourd'hui, Varadero est le coin le plus touristique de Cuba. L'endroit s'est un peu transformé en station organisée à l'américaine, avec ses complexes hôteliers pharaoniques... Les avis sont partagés ici, pour certains c'est le paradis cubain, pour d'autres Varadero manque vraiment d'authenticité...

Another railway scene very soon to be consigned to the history books - the Bord na Móna's 3-ft gauge railway serving the ESB Lanesborough power station. On Friday 8th November 2019, Bord na Móna 2002-built 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic LM427 (rebuilt in 2017) rounds a curve on the Mountdillon system, nearing the end of its long journey from the peat bog, along the scenic double-track 'main line' section.

The sun sets over MK.IX Spitfire PT879, one of around 1300 Spitfires consigned to Russia as part of a wartime Lend-Lease program. Constructed at the Vickers Armstrong factory in Castle Bromwich in August 1944, PT879 was shipped via Murmansk to the 2nd Squadron, 767th regiment, 122nd Division of the Russian airforce. PT879 crashed during a dogfight over the Kola peninsula in spring 1945 with just 29 hours on the airframe and was abandoned. The freezing environment preserved the aircraft well, and PT879 was recovered to the UK in 1998, the only Spitfire transferred to Russia to have returned. Much of the original aircraft has been salvaged despite the high speed crash and hundreds of the original parts including the wings reused in the restoration to flying condition making this one of the most original Spitfires from WW2.
An absolute gem and a pleasure to photograph.
En 1985, Arman reçoit une commande de l’État pour la création de deux sculptures. L’artiste propose, sur le thème de la gare et du voyage, deux œuvres monumentales qu’il souhaite immédiatement accessibles: "L’Heure de tous" et "Consigne à vie".
"L’Heure de tous" et "Consigne à vie" occupent un emplacement symétrique sur le parvis de la Gare Saint Lazare - 'Consigne à vie' du côté de la Cour de Rome et 'L’Heure de tous' du côté de la Cour du Havre.
"Consigne à vie" est une accumulation de valises. Objets usuels, attributs par excellence du voyage, les valises empilées par l’artiste, sont élevées ici, par la noblesse du bronze, au rang de la statuaire classique.

In 1985, French artist Arman received a commission from the State for the creation of two sculptures. The artist poposed, on the theme of the station and travel, two monumental works that he wished to be immediately accessible: "L'Heure de tous" and "Consigne à vie".
"L'Heure de tous" and "Consigne à vie" occupy a symmetrical location on the forecourt of Gare Saint Lazare - "Consigne à vie" on the side of the Cour de Rome and 'L'Heure de tous' on the side of the Court of Le Havre.
"Consigne à vie/Lifetime deposit" is an accumulation of suitcases. Usual objects, attributes par excellence of travel, the suitcases piled up by the artist, are elevated here, by the nobility of bronze, to the rank of classical statuary.
A glorious spring morning in the Dales finds a class 40 rolling down the grade from Ais Gill Summit to Appleby with a train comprised almost entirely of coal in 16 tonners in a scene that will become consigned to history by the following year.

A stolperstein is a type of monument created by artist Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of Nazi oppression, including the Holocaust. Stolpersteins are small, cobblestone-sized memorials for individual victims of Nazism. They commemorate individuals – both those who died and survivors – who were consigned by the Nazis to prisons, euthanasia facilities, sterilization clinics, concentration camps, and extermination camps, as well as those who responded to persecution by emigrating or committing suicide.

Driven Grouse shooting needs to be consigned to the history books!
The Clouds consign their treasures to the fields;
And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool
Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow
In large effusion, o'er the freshen'd world.

A light dusting of the white stuff didn't stop play today (although a broken Class 37 loco did put a spanner in the works) at Great Yarmouth Train Station.
The sign on the signal box marks it as Yarmouth Vauxhall, from the days when the town had 3 stations. That box will go the same way as both Southtown and Beach station soon, as signalling will soon be controlled from many miles away and all signal boxes on the line will be consigned to history.
The position of the old goods line to the right of the picture and the the recently removed Platform 1 line to the left are clearly visible. What is not so obvious is that the area that ASDA now occupies was once covered in sidings, an engine shed and a turntable.

St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria is an oil painting by Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, dated to 1504-1507, and held in the Pinacoteca di Brera, in Milan.
The work is a huge canvas (telero) destined for the Scuola Grande di San Marco in Venice. It is 26m in surface, and has rich narrative and iconographic features. The cycle of paintings with stories of the life of St Mark was completed around 60 years later by Giorgione and Tintoretto, and is today housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Accademia in Venice.
The canvas was started by Gentile in July 1504, but after his death in February 1507, when it was "largely completed", it passed to his brother Giovanni, as indicated in Gentile's will. Giovanni completed it, making some modifications. The invitation to complete it was probably from his brother just before he died, to which Giovanni probably responded negatively, This explains its insertion in the will of the clause that consigned a precious collection of drawing to Giovanni should he complete the painting. The commission was confirmed as being passed to Giovanni by the Scuola on 7 March 1507.
The scene is rich with exotic elements adapted from real-life that Gentile had the opportunity to study during his trip to Constantinople in 1479–1480. Decorative elements of Mamluk architecture, rather than Ottoman, suggest that the artist may also have reached Jerusalem. This painting combines two distinct moments in time, one ancient and one contemporary to Bellini's life, as well as three different places, Alexandria, Venice, and a mountainous landscape in the background. The arrangement of the huge "historia," imagined as an arranged portrayal on a wide stage shut on three sides by huge architectural dividers, was plainly Gentile. The style of the design proposed to the painter during his excursion in the East (where the Republic had sent him in 1479 in the entourage of a discretionary mission) is quite similar to Mameluke models, which prompted the hypothesis that Gentile may have continued from Constantinople to Jerusalem on a journey, and from that point have recorded new building thoughts that were not quite the same as Ottoman styles, the last being more natural to Venetians.
It is not clear which parts were done by which brother: Vasari only mentioned Gentile in the 1550 version of the Vite, and omitting them in the 1568 edition. Modern criticism considers Gentile to have done the background, except for the modified parts, and possibly the characters on the right hand. Giovanni is assigned with some certainty the portraits on the left, and some of the central group.
The painting of St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria was commissioned by the Scuola Grande di San Marco (Great Confraternity of St. Mark) in Venice for their gathering house in the Campo San Giovanni e Polo, perhaps the biggest important square in Venice. The great Confraternity of St. Mark was reconstructed after a massive fire took a hit on the old structure on 31 March 1485 toward the end of the fifteenth century. The room that contained the most prestigious paintings and focus was the meeting space where it demonstrated their patron saint's narrating life. The Scuola Grande di San Marco looked to the most valuable painter Gentile Bellini to create this painting.
The canvas was reduced at an unknown time, a strip along the top being cut away, where the buildings finished. The work arrived in the Brera in 1809, following the Napoleonic invasion.
The large-scale oil painting depicts a massive stage in the center of the main city and the pavement appears to be created of large square red brick stones. Behind the stage are three tall blue domed temples along with minaret-like towers and big square light colored houses, along the side as well. The side buildings are decorated with light colored red facade and rooftop porches on top. In front of the stage, there are about a hundred contrastingly dressed individuals who have assembled on this square. The men are shown wearing caftans, frocks, cloaks, turbans, and immense hats, while the women are dressed in white from head to ankle-length veils. The attribution of the different pieces of the work to every artisan is as yet a matter of discussion among researchers; in any case, the most generally held view allots Gentile the meaning of the primary lines of the scene, where components of Venetian engineering are superimposed on structures of unmistakably Mediterranean and Oriental inference.
The background of the painting is overpowered by the assortment and distinction of various building structures and models that are reflected by the painted cityscape. In one manner or the other, the various buildings all appear to insinuate a wide range of Eastern Mediterranean architectural types. To indicate just a portion of the implications: The gigantic structure in the focal point of the square, for instance, looks to some extent like Eastern holy places. With its structure of round curves, its marble-shaded façade adornments, and glossy vault covers, it reviews a portion of the primary qualities of early Byzantine holy places. The most generally held view allots Gentile the meaning of the primary lines of the scene, where components of Venetian engineering are superimposed on structures of unmistakably Mediterranean and Oriental inference.
This painting depicts St. Mark, who lived in Alexandria in the first-century. In the painting, he is preaching to Muslims and some Venetian guests, including peers of the artist and Gentile himself. The structure behind resembles San Marco in Venice, but with the lack of its decoration and sculptural figures. St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria presents two particular moments in history and three spots—Alexandria, Venice, and the mountains. Since many Venetians would not have understood what Alexandria looked like, everybody would have perceived it as San Marco. The hieroglyph on the obelisk directly above Mark symbolizes that the ancient Egyptians foresaw Christianity. By including contemporary Venetians and Mamluk Egyptians, Gentile is actually making a reference to the present and expressing a hope of hope of reconverting these Muslims to Christianity. St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria makes known the expectation of reconverting Alexandria, with St. Mark as an exemplar. Gentile Bellini presented the canvas as a substitute history where Venetians and Muslims intermix in a spot that is neither Venice nor Alexandria and is instead a fanciful city joining highlights of the two locations.

After a working life of 45 years, 43924, was consigned to the scrapyard of Woodham Bros. in Barry, South Wales. It secured its place in preservation folklore in 1970 becoming the very first of over 200 locomotives to leave the scrapyard for a life in preservation when a small band of enthusiasts, operating under the name of ‘The 4F Society’, finally gained permission to purchase and remove it. kwvr.co.uk/locos/43924/
