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.
In 1894, Miss Mary Lowry, then the sole teacher at Hyde Park School, bought a lot at 4001 Avenue C. In 1903, she contracted with William Voss, Sr., to construct a one-story frame house for $1300.
Miss Lowry was one of the few women in the early days of Hyde Park who worked outside the home for a living. She earned the affection of a generation of students for her willingness to toll the school bell as long as it took to prevent a single child from being counted as tardy.
The Lowry House displays the characteristics of the Queen Anne style: the frieze of small spindles, the lacy brackets, and the turned porch columns. It was restored in 1979 and later renovated and expanded. Newer elements include the deep red brick chimneys on fireplaces and the addition. The Mary Lowry House is a City of Austin Historic Landmark.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the Hyde Park Historic District includes an eclectic mixture of architectural styles, from late 19th-century Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes to 20th-century bungalows and ranch houses. Additionally, many of the houses and buildings in Hyde Park have been designated City of Austin Historic Landmarks and Texas Historic Landmarks.

“Bass Brewery was founded in 1777 by William Bass in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England. The main brand was Bass Pale Ale, once the highest-selling beer in the UK. By 1877, Bass had become the largest brewery in the world, with an annual output of one million barrels. Its pale ale was exported throughout the British Empire, and the company's red triangle became the UK's first registered trade mark.
Bass took control of a number of other large breweries in the early 20th century. In the 1960s it merged with Charrington United Breweries to become the largest UK brewing company, Bass Charrington. The brewing operations of the company were bought by Interbrew (now Anheuser-Busch InBev) in 2000, while the retail side (hotels and pubs) was renamed Six Continents plc. Because at the time Interbrew controlled a large portion of the UK beer market, the Competition Commission instructed Interbrew to sell the Bass brewery along with certain brands to Coors (now Molson Coors), while retaining the rights to the Bass brand. In 2010, it was widely reported that AB-InBev was attempting to sell the rights to the Bass brand in the UK for around £10 million to £15 million.
In the UK, draught Bass (4.4% ABV) has been brewed under contract in Burton by Marston's (formerly a relatively minor competitor) for AB-InBev since 2005, while bottled products are brewed at AB-InBev's own brewery in Samlesbury, Lancashire, for export. Bass is also brewed locally in the United States and Belgium. Bass Ale is a top ten premium canned ale in the UK, with 16,080 hectolitres sold in 2010.”

Lineas besliste eind vorig jaar om het contract omtrent het behoud en beheer van de HLE 21 die zijn in dienst hadden, stop te zetten. Sinds kort heeft de firma voldoende nieuwe Traxx’en gekregen van Railpool waardoor de HLE 21 overbodig werd. Een spijtige zaak, vinden we. Quasi alle treinfotograferen zien liever een duo 21’ers voor een goederentrein dan zo’n saaie grijze Traxx van Railpool. We moeten helaas beginnen beseffen dat het einde van de carrière van de 21’ers steeds dichterbij komt. De in 1984 gebouwde machines worden al voor andere doeleinden gebruikt. De 2122 wordt (of werd) gebruikt als verwarmingsunit in Hasselt. Een hele boel andere 21’ers werden op 2 oktober 2017 verkocht aan Polen. Anderen werden in park gezet in afwachting van wat voor hen zal volgen (sloop, verkoop…) Hopelijk krijgen ze daar in Polen een tweede leven…!
Zelfs toen de 21’ers nog reden, werden er al een aantal omlopen met de staalpendels tussen Châtelet en Genk-Zuid (de vaste treintjes van de 21’ers) met een duo Traxx’en gereden. Je moest wat geluk hebben dat je een duo 21’ers voor de lens kreeg. Vaak was het zo dat de rit via Kinkempois met de 21’ers werd gereden en de rit via Leuven met de Traxx’en, maar dat kon ook wel eens andersom zijn. Op 14 maart van vorig jaar vonden we het nog speciaal dat er een duo 28’ers voor de betreffende trein hing. De 28’ers zijn zo al weinig te zien op lijn 139. Vandaag zouden we nog een gat in de lucht springen wanneer we een 28 voor de lens krijgen. Zo zeldzaam zijn die ook al geworden… We zullen later nog de Railpool Traxx’en missen… Nu lijkt dat te gek voor woorden.
Tot 3x per dag rijdt Lineas een trein met staalrollen en blokken staal tussen Châtelet en Genk. Vanuit Châtelet worden er coils naar Genk-Zuid gebracht, die later op de dag naar de aansluiting van Aperam gebracht worden. Vanaf daar worden er terug blokken staal (ook wel slabs genoemd) meegenomen en naar Châtelet gebracht. Vlak naast de goederenbundel van Châtelet bevindt zich GSV Aperam Stainless Belgium die de warmgewalste coils verzendt en de slabs (gemaakt uit roestvast staal) ontvangt. Deze treinen zorgen voor een dagelijkse verbinding tussen beide staalbedrijven in België.
De 2827 en de 2832 rijden door Pécrot met slabstrein 33741 van Genk-Zuid-R.O.-L231 naar Châtelet-formation en passeren in een mooi zonlicht over lijn 139.

Every year we take a trip to Cornwall in the Autumn. This year was no exception but a little different as we stayed on Bodmin Moor rather than on the Fowey Estuary. It was a trip of many facets, house hunting, walking but for me the last photo assignment of the year. I was to take images of fungus for my client in a Forestry Commission Plantation called "Halvana"
With war looming on the horizon at the beginning of the 20th Century, Britain could no longer rely on timber imports. Woodland resources in England covered just 5% of land area by 1917, due to demands during the First World War (especially trench warfare). In 1919 the Forestry Act came into force and Conifer plantations like Halvana were established to ensure a strategic reserve of timber. It is unfortunate that many of the ancient broadleaved woodland areas around England were cleared to make way for the faster-growing Conifer trees.
Whilst some plantations are gradually being replanted with native species, Halvana Plantation remains as a fascinating stretch of woodland to amble through and explore. The interior of evergreen plantations have a tendency to be dry dead places, due to the needles blocking out light and suffocating the forest floor. This forest is the complete opposite, with an endless carpet of moss creeping over everything, including up the trunks of trees and a huge selection of fungus spices.
So, off we went to Bodmin Moor with my new work camera in tow (Pentax 645Z Medium Format) more about this later, with my usual old Pentax K5II to take the very few snaps on our days out.
Here is the lush, green Halvana forest in all its moss covered glory.....the weather was typical of Bodmin Moor at this time of the year, one minute sunny but breezy and the next, torrential rain with flash flooding but in our converted stone cow shed with a wood burner we stayed toasty and warm. A fabulous trip, full of interest and wonderful Autumn colour.
Here's a poor quality image from an impromptu rainy morning out to meet a friend from out of town. Earlier this year I shared this photo: flic.kr/p/2qLiTJi and now finally she is back operating in revenue service. I need to get out on a nice day but I don't hate the saturated rainy look to this scene, though the brush does annoy me.
Anyway Grafton and Upton Railroad train GU-1 led by GP35 3604 and a pair of MP15ACs has just departed southbound from North Grafton yard as comes off the short causeway over the marsh and Big Bummet Brook at about MP 1 as measured from the north end of the line at the junction with the Keolis Worcester Mainline, the former Boston and Albany.
Still dressed in the image of its former owner this locomotive was built in January 1965 for the Pennsylvania Railroad and was acquired by the Housatonic from Conrail around 1992 when the road expanded with the acquisition of the Danbury cluster from CR. The unit was sent here a couple years ago for contract repair work and underwent an extensive rebuild/upgrade including all new wiring and modular electrical systems.
For whatever reason after spending a substantial sum the HRRC ownership decided not to invest any more money and purchased newly rebuilt GP15-1s and GP39-2s instead. In exchange for outstanding payments due, the G&U was offered and accepted this unit in trade and now owns it.

With a penciled departure of 15:00, my mind ran wild thinking of all the shots I could get on the Main South of this handsome pairing to Goulburn, only to find it departing at 19:30 and I was lucky enough to even walk away with this before the sun had set. Special thank you to the local farmers property I was standing on. More than likely one of their crops was on board this train.
With no more than 10 minutes until sunset, brand new units MAN004 and MAN008 depart the Manildra site, just west of Stockinbingal, with loaded boxed grain train 3974 to Port Kembla.
At Port Kembla, the boxes were trucked to the Manildra site at Nowra for processing as rail access is very limited due to two silo’s collapsing.
The MAN class locomotives were purchased by the Manildra Group as part of the new haulage contract with Southern Shorthaul Railroad starting November 1 2024. They have begun to arrive from the United States during the second half of 2024, with 8 out of 17 in the country at the time of this photograph. They're an EMD GT46C-ACe Gen II model with a 16-cylinder 710 series engine, providing 4,500 gross horsepower.

Voor het overbrengen en rangeren met terzijde gestelde NS materieel sluit NS speciale contracten af. Jarenlang werd dit door Volkerrail gedaan, maar het nieuwe contract is recent gewonnen door Strukton Rail. Deze heeft onder andere hiervoor twee ex-700den van NS overgenomen. Op donderdagochtend werd een sleep DD-AR rijtuigen van de Dijksgracht naar de Houtrakpolder gesleept. Vanaf emplacement Aziëhaven ging het geduwd achter de Strukton Rail 704 richting de HCT, waar de rijtuigen uit het spoor getakeld worden. Later zullen deze rijtuigen in het schip Rosanne gehesen worden om dan afgevoerd te worden richting de sloper in Vlaardingen.
The Crucifixion of Saint Peter is a work by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, painted in 1601 for the Cerasi Chapel of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. Across the chapel is a second Caravaggio work depicting the Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus (1601). On the altar between the two is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Annibale Carracci.
The two lateral paintings were commissioned in September 1600 by Monsignor Tiberio Cerasi, Treasurer-General to Pope Clement VIII, who purchased the chapel from the Augustinian friars on 8 July 1600 and commissioned Carlo Maderno to rebuild the small edifice in Baroque style. The contract for the altarpiece with Carracci has not been preserved but it is generally assumed that the document had been signed somewhat earlier, and Caravaggio had to take into consideration the other artist's work and the overall iconographic programme of the chapel. Cerasi nourished a deep devotion towards Saint Peter and Paul, and invoked them in his will. Together the two saints represented the foundation of the Catholic Church, and they were called the Princes of the Apostles. Both had a strong connection to the city of Rome and the papacy. Caravaggio's paintings were thus intended to express Cerasi's attachment to the Church of Rome and his closeness to papal power. Their position in the chapel was important but the devotional focus was still on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on the altar in the middle. The juxtaposition of the two scenes had a well-known precedent in the frescos of the Capella Paolina at the Apostolic Palace (1542–1549) but the paintings of Caravaggio were starkly different from the crowded Mannerist scenes of Michelangelo.
Although much has been said about the supposed rivalry between Carracci and Caravaggio, there is no historical evidence about any serious tensions. Both were successful and sought-after artists in Rome. Caravaggio gained the Cerasi commission right after his celebrated works in the Contarelli Chapel had been finished, and Carracci was busy creating his great fresco cycle in the Palazzo Farnese. In these circumstances there was little reason for them to regard each other as business rivals, states Denis Mahon.
The contract signed on 24 September 1600 stipulates that "the distinguished painter, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio" will paint two large cypress panels, ten palms high and eight palms wide, representing the conversion of Saint Paul and the martyrdom of Saint Peter within eight months for the price of 400 scudi. The contract gave a free hand to the painter to choose the figures, persons and ornaments depicted in the way as he saw fit, "to the satisfaction however of his Lordship", and he was also obliged to submit preparatory studies before the execution of the paintings. Caravaggio received 50 scudi as advance payment from the banker Vincenzo Giustiniani with the rest earmarked to be paid on completion. The dimensions specified for the panels are virtually the same as the size of the existing canvasses.
When Tiberio Cerasi died on 3 May 1601, Caravaggio was still working on the paintings, as attested by an avviso dated 5 May which mentioned that the chapel was being decorated by the hand of the "famosissimo Pittore", Michelangelo da Caravaggio. A second avviso dated 2 June proves that Caravaggio was still at work on the paintings a month later. He completed them sometime before 10 November when he received the final instalment from the heirs of Tiberio Cerasi, the Fathers of the Ospedale della Consolazione. The total compensation for the paintings was reduced to 300 scudi for unknown reasons.
The paintings were finally installed in the chapel on 1 May 1605 by the woodworker Bartolomeo who received four scudi and fifty baiocchi from the Ospedale for his work.

Together with Hélène, Baron Etienne contracted architect Pierre Cuypers in 1892 to rebuild the ruined castle, a project which took 20 years. The castle has 200 rooms and 30 bathrooms. For the interior Cuypers made extensive use of cast iron and richly ornamental wood-carving, and the castle was equipped by Cuypers with the most modern gadgets, such as electric lighting with its own generator, and central heating by way of steam. For the period, the kitchen was very modern with an enormous furnace, 6 metres long. The tiles in the kitchen were decorated with the coats of arms of the families De Haar and Van Zuylen. Cuypers even designed the tableware. The interior of the castle was furnished with many works from the Rothschild collections, including porcelain from Japan and China, Flemish tapestries and old master paintings.
Surrounding the castle is a park, designed by Hendrik Copijn, for which Van Zuylen ordered 7000 fully grown trees. The park contains many waterworks and a formal garden modelled after the gardens of Versailles. To create the park, the village of Haarzuilens was demolished, with the exception of the town church. The inhabitants were moved to a site a kilometre further up the valley, where a new Haarzuilens arose, built in a pseudo-medieval style, including a rural village green. The buildings were for the most part designed by Cuypers and his son Joseph Cuypers.
In 2000, the Van Zuylen van Nyevelt family passed ownership of the castle and the gardens to the Foundation Kasteel de Haar. However, the family retained the right to spend one month per year in the castle. In the same year, the Dutch society Natuurmonumenten bought the surrounding estate of 400 ha. An extensive restoration programme of the castle and the gardens was begun in 2001 and completed in 2011. After the death in 2011 of the last van Zuylen male heir, his daughters sold the complete art collection and interior furnishings of the castle to the Foundation Kasteel de Haar.
