Am 26. September 2021 brachten die 1144.272 und 015, sowie die 1293.002 den TEC 40598 vom Euroterminal in Sławków nach Maddaloni bei Neapel über den Semmering. Mit dieser Verbindung werden hauptsächlich Teile für die Automobilproduktion transportiert. Der Vectron war übrigens seit Jaworzno Szczakowa vor dem Zug und bespannte diesen bis Tarvisio Boscoverde. Zum Jahreswechsel verlor RCA den Auftrag überraschend. Seitdem verkehren die Züge unter der Regie von DB Cargo Czechia und werden mit DB Vectrons bespannt.
On September 26, 2021, the 1144.272 and 015, as well as the 1293.002 brought TEC 40598 from the Euroterminal in Sławków to Maddaloni near Naples via the Semmering. This connection is mainly used to transport parts for automobile production. By the way, the Vectron was in front of the train since Jaworzno Szczakowa and hauled it to Tarvisio Boscoverde. At the turn of the year, RCA surprisingly lost the contract. Since then, the trains have been operated under the direction of DB Cargo Czechia and are hauled by DB Vectrons.
EMR's "Purple Peril" 43274, along with a small handful of ex. LNER/EMR, have found a new lease of life with Colas Rail for use on Network Rail test trains. The distinctive powercar and fellow classmate 43272 are seen strolling through a damp, autumnal Allerford with the late-running 1Q40 00.25 (08.22) Exeter Riverside-Derby RTC. The PLPR1 test train performed three return trips overnight to Okehampton in preparation for the line's reopening later in the month.
The powercars were making what I believe to be their first visits to Taunton since the Midland Mainline era (circa 2006/07), when the pair (previously numbered 43072/074 before conversion to MTU traction) were regularly contracted to work Summer Saturday high speed services to the far west.
A new year, renewing contract. She signed herself into my power. Every letter, every stroke of her pen was a surrender—her breath, her thoughts, her very essence now bound to my will. She is no longer just an amazing capable woman; she is a vessel, a creation of my command, ready to be shaped, molded, and used. Her soul dances to my rhythm, and in her submission, I find my absolute control. She belongs to me —completely, utterly, and without question.

Koizumu Yagumo (小泉八雲) is a pseudonym of Patric Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) who was born in Lafcada island, Greece to an Irish father and a greek mother. He emigrated to the USA and worked as journalist. He came to Japan as correspondent, visited Matsue, had a Japanese wife from a Samurai family in Matsue, and lived in this Samurai house. Koizumi is the family name of his wife. Yagumo means Izumo province.
He cancelled the correspondent contract, worked as writer and English lecturer, naturalised to Japan and died in Tokyo.
He was a pioneer Japanologist who developed a deep understanding of Japanese cultures. His best known work is "Kwaidan (怪談 spooky stories)" which is a collection of Japanese folk tales on ghosts and spectres.
His former residence is now converted to a museum for his achievements.
Recently posted to Orkney is this Volvo recovery truck - Quite why is not apparent because according to a recent survey by Orkney Islands Council there have been no complaints about the local bus service since the introduction of the new buses paid for by the contract with Stagecoach.
There would have been logic to the recovery truck being posted to Orkney back when we had the million mile "Mushroomgate' coaches, but not now with a modern new fleet paid for by Orkney public money.
Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

Congress finally appropriated $20,000 for a lighthouse at Port Sanilac in 1885, and a site was selected and purchased. After specifications for the necessary metalwork were prepared, a contract was entered into, and the lantern room and spiral staircase were delivered to the Detroit lighthouse depot on October 1, 1885. Charles Diem, the contractor charged with erecting the brick tower and keeper’s dwelling, commenced work on June 7, 1886, and by the end of that month had made excavations for the structures, had put in place the concrete foundation for the dwelling and a portion of the four-feet-thick concrete foundation for the tower, and had laid about one-half of the stone foundation walls for the dwelling. The tower, dwelling, privy, and oil house were completed on October 13, 1886, and the station’s fixed white light, produced by a fourth-order, Barbier & Fenestre Fresnel lens, was placed in operation a week later on October 20, 1886. The work of grading, filling, and sodding the grounds, along with building a perimeter fence, laying sidewalks, and digging and lining a well was finished on October 23.
Situated 130 feet from the lakeshore, octagonal Port Sanilac Lighthouse stands fifty-nine feet tall and is connected to the nearby two-story keeper’s by a covered passageway. The eight-room dwelling had two, 2,200-gallon brick cisterns built beneath its kitchen that were used to collect rainwater for domestic use. Ile aux Galets Lighthouse is the only tower that resembles the one at Port Sanilac.

Adventure Travel's contracted TrawsCymru Service T6 (Swansea-Neath-Crynant-Ystradgynlais-Sennybridge-Brecon) is registered to pass under the low railway bridge - which carries the South Wales Main Line - in Commercial Street in Neath in both directions. The service observes the bus stop outside the Railway Station rather than the Victoria Gardens terminal, and the use of Commercial Street further reduces the time penalty for serving the town.
I'm aware of only one double-decker to have lost her roof to the bridge and that was SWT ECW-bodied Bristol VR 993 in the early 1990s, which sealed her fate.
My shot goes back to June 2022 and depicts Adventure's Optare MetroCity OM162 passing through when green was still the primary colour used for TrawsCymru services. I cursed the pedestrian under my breath at the time, but in hindsight his presence probably enhances the image.

Main Building, glass front towards Frankenring

1952-1954, Architect Bernhard Pfau
"[...] Franz Lorscheidt was responsible for the first construction phase, the contract for the second and third was won by Bernhard Pfau in a restricted competition, who is known for the originality of his designs, which often play with glass, and the often hidden construction principles of his buildings.
The changeability of all school rooms required in the tender brought the architect to his resourceful construction. "At Pfau, design always evolves from construction," says Pfau specialist Marcus Wrede in a 2012 lecture. The facade of the long wing of the building, which is closed with a narrow ribbon of windows and surrounded by greenish glass skin, guides the students to delve deeper into their studies. The building opens onto the bright inner courtyard. [...]
The urgently required renovation of the building complex is a challenge, also because details can no longer be reconstructed today. [...]"

OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.
