- www.kevin-palmer.com - It was beautiful at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The temperature was in the 20's at the rim when I started my hike, but down here it was much warmer at 80°F. The Bright Angel Trail follows the Colorado River for a couple miles before beginning the long ascent.

Here is the Jeffersonville Crossing outlet center in Jeffersonville, Ohio. This shopping center is one of two major outlet centers built the same year (1993) just one exit apart on Interstate 71 in Jeffersonville. The other outlet center built was Prime Outlets (now Tanger Outlets) and was built with the parking lot surrounding it. Jeffersonville Crossing was built around the parking lot. Today, Jeffersonville Crossing is empty except for a few independent shops while Tanger Outlets is mostly occupied. I really don't think this (mostly rural) area has enough people to support two outlet centers, especially since newer outlet centers have been built near Cincinnati and Columbus.

60063 working the 6B13 Robeston Sidings – Westerleigh Murco oil tanks train passes Bishton level crossing, near Magor, South Wales. I was keen to get this shot before the electrification poles ruin the POV forever.
The Bishton gate box, which controls the level crossing, is a GWR box of GW12a design and dates back to 1941. It has 3 lever frames to control the crossing. There is an underpass underneath the main line which cars can fit under. Hence, only vans, minibuses and horseboxes cross the line when the gates need to be opened. It must be an incredibly boring job for the operator as little traffic crosses the line.
Bishton gate box (formerly West signal box) is scheduled to close in 2019 when the area will be controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff. This will see the abolition of the last set of wheel-operated gates on the former Western Region.

Taken 7 months after closure looking west towards Manchester at Torside level crossing in the Longdendale Valley, on the western end of the old Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne & Manchester Rly which opened in 1845, known as the Woodhead Route, home to the EM1 class 76 and EM2 class 77 DC electric locomotives.
This line closed as a through route just after 5am on the 18th July 1981 after the passage of 6M10 Harwich-Trafford Park Speedlink hauled by 76006 and 76014.
Today you can walk along here as it is now part of the 215 mile long coast to coast Trans Pennine Trail, with this section known as the Longdendale Trail.

Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

A view taken at Eagle Lane crossing on the former South Staffs line at Great Bridge, Tipton where Class 31/1 31171 was about to pass the Eagle Crossing signal box. To the left of the view was the former goods yard and behind the signal box the buildings of the John Cashmore Ltd. Steel Works are visible.
The former gated crossing here was controlled from a cabin on the opposite side of the line to where this 1970 35 lever-frame cabin was constructed. When lifting barriers were installed a few years later, the former cabin that housed the gate wheel was removed and its cast name plate fitted to to the new structure as shown. Closure of this freight only route came in March 1993 and soon afterwards, the Eagle Crossing box was destroyed in an arson attack.

The Queensferry Crossing is due to open in May 2017. The stunning, globally unique bridge forms the centerpiece of a major upgrade to the important cross-Forth transport corridor in the east of Scotland, representing a total Scottish Government investment of £1.325 to £1.35bn (at 2016 prices). The 1.7 miles (2.7km) structure will be the longest three-tower, cable-stayed bridge in the world and also by far the largest to feature cables which cross mid-span. This innovative design provides extra strength and stiffness, allowing the towers and the deck to be more slender and elegant.
Shibuya is famous for its scramble crossing. It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. The statue of Hachikō, a dog, between the station and the intersection, is a common meeting place and almost always crowded .Wikipedia

Marsh's Crossing signal box was located in front of the wire mesh fence on the right, and was a London and North Western Railway type 4 design fitted with a 15 lever London and North Western Railway Tumber frame. Sometime between June 1953 and October 1954 the goods lines between Ravenhead Junction and Marsh's Crossing signal boxes, which were previously worked with no block or bell were redesignated as sidings. However, Marsh's Crossing signal box remained a block post as it was the staff station for the Menzies Siding line and the Eccleston Branch. The Eccleston Branch closed on 10th October 1967 and the signal box was closed on 25th February 1979 when the level crossing was converted to a trainman operated crossing
