台灣街頭塗鴨
第一印象就連想到破壞市容
很少見到像歐美的街頭塗鴉
那麼的充滿創意且美感兼具
或許
大環境沒辦法提供足夠的時間
讓想好好畫的人自由揮毫
所以在台北
常常街頭牆壁上東一塊西一塊補漆
圖中這房子市在台中一中街附近的一區鐵路局宿舍
原本是一整區古色古香的日式房舍
為了要規劃停車場
所以將其拆除
剩下這一棟
里長住在裡頭
是個愛臭屁的阿伯~哈!
但是跟他聊天很有趣
話說
他弟弟因為雙眼失明
所以第六感特別好
在當時是個小有名氣的算命
就連當時省長宋楚瑜還有許水德等知名人士
都曾來算過
最後
他將家裡的合室桌
和一展極為少見的弔燈送我
但一切也隨著去年房子拆除
煙消雲散
再也無法用親自去感受住在那檜木搭蓋而成的小房子
看著小粉蝶
在後院油菜花叢偏偏飛舞..................
Shibuya scramble crossing is the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. Hand held, wide angle night shot.

Taken from inside Appleford Crossing Signal Box, now demolished The box only survived for as long as it did because the crossing is situated next to a 90 degree bend on the adjacent B road which was deemed too dangerous for an unmanned installation. Improvements to CCTV technology eventually rendered the box redundant

Following up yesterday's Venetian gondola crossing with a very different crossing. No less fun to capture.
thanks for looking!
Level crossing
From Wikipedia
The term level crossing (also called a railroad crossing, road through railroad, train crossing or grade crossing) is a crossing on one level ("at-grade intersection") — without recourse to a bridge or tunnel — of a railway line by a road or path. It also applies when a light rail line with separate right-of-way (or a reserved track tramway) crosses a road.
Early level crossings had a flagman in a nearby booth who would, on the approach of a train, wave a red flag or lantern to stop all traffic and clear the tracks. Manual or electrical closable gates that barricaded the roadway were later introduced. The gates were intended to be a complete barrier against intrusion of any road traffic onto the railway. In the early days of the railways much road traffic was horsedrawn or included livestock. It was thus necessary to provide a real barrier. Thus, crossing gates, when closed to road traffic, crossed the entire width of the road. When opened to allow road users to cross the line, the gates were swung across the width of the railway, preventing any pedestrians or animals getting onto the line. The first U.S. patent for such crossing gates was awarded on 27 August 1867, to J. Nason and J. F. Wilson, both of Boston.]
With the appearance of motor vehicles, this barrier became less effective and the need for a barrier to livestock diminished dramatically. Many countries therefore substituted the gated crossings with weaker but more highly visible barriers and relied upon road users following the associated warning signals to stop.
In many countries, level crossings on less important roads and railway lines are often "open" or "uncontrolled", sometimes with warning lights or bells to warn of approaching trains. Ungated crossings represent a safety concern; many accidents have occurred due to failure to notice or obey the warning. Railways in the United States are adding reflectors to the side of each train car to help prevent accidents at level crossings. In some countries, such as Ireland, instead of an open crossing there may be manually operated gates, which the motorist must open and close. These too have significant risks, as they are unsafe to use without possessing a knowledge of the train timetable: motorists may be instructed to telephone the railway signaller, but may not always do so.
The director of rail safety at the UK HM Railway Inspectorate commented in 2004 that "the use of level crossings contributes the greatest potential for catastrophic risk on the railways." Eighteen people were killed in the UK on level crossings in 2003-4. Bridges and tunnels are now favoured, but this can be impractical in flat countryside where there is insufficient space to build a roadway embankment or tunnel (because of nearby buildings).
At railway stations, a pedestrian level crossing is sometimes provided to allow passengers to reach other platforms in the absence of an underpass or bridge.
Where third rail systems have level crossings, there is a gap in the third rail over the level crossing, but the power supply is not interrupted since trains have current collectors on multiple cars.

BR 47344 was working the 6T71 Coton Hill to Donnington MOD trip comprising a VEA and VDA van when recorded at Trench Crossing in May 1987.
On this particular day, the Class 47/3 had earlier worked the 7J36 Speedlink service from Bescot to Coton Hill, Shrewsbury, delivering TTA fuel tanks for the local 08 shunter trip to work to the Abbey Oil Terminal. The 47/3 would return from Donnington with outgoing wagons that would be stabled at Wellington Goods.
The loco would then run light engine to the cement terminal at Oakengates to collect discharged PCA tanks, taking them back to Wellington. The PCAs would be collected later by the Birmingham, Curzon Street to Penyffordd train. Having collected the Donnington traffic from Wellington Goods, the 47/3 would return to Coton Hill Yard and later work the Speedlink service back to Bescot that would include any traffic from the Shrewsbury trip workings.

Tsingy de Bemaraha is a geological top attraction of Madagascar. The road to/from Morondava is very long and difficult and only accessible with jeeps. You have to cross 2 rivers by ferry one being Tsiribihina and the other Manambolo.

H55 makes its trip down NJ Transit’s Main Line, crossing the NY/NJ state line into Mahwah, NJ, with NS GP38-2 #5618. This train would work two customers in Paterson, before heading back west.

NJT ALP46A 4636, wearing a PRR-inspired scheme, leads train 8433 across the Millington Trestle and into Basking Ridge, NJ. Below the bridge is the Passaic River, which this train has already crossed two other times on its journey from Penn Station, New York to Gladstone Yard. June 3, 2020
I was passing between the neo-Classical pillars of the Royal Scottish Academy on one of my Lockdown daily walks, and paused for a few moments, camera peering between the pillars to look at the pedestrian crossing where Hanover Street meets Princes Street, and shot a few snaps of people coming and going across it.
School crossing guards are a part of our community as they go about their duties, keeping elementary school children safe on their way to and from school.
Whenever I have spoken to one, they have been friendly and polite and I see children and their parents treating them like friends or family.
I have often thought that their hours are challenging. No matter the weather, they have to be on duty all school days, morning and afternoon, as well as during the lunch hour. This split shift must really occupy their day, preventing them from making other commitments, and yet I suspect they only get paid for the hours on duty.
Weather is sometimes a challenge and yet they must always report for duty.
This crossing guard has a folding chair to take the strain off when children are not present, and a cup of coffee to warm him on a cold February day.
The "Devilishly Good" sign is a chicken restaurant, but I bet it applies equally to the coffee the crossing guard is sipping.
Isabella is an Animal Crossing inspired girl with the sweetest pastel tone. She's a genuine Takara Simply Mango based doll and she comes with everything you see in the photos. Including the cute little AC toys on her stand. I'll be sending her off very soon adn I hope she'll have lots of fun in her new home in Japan!

The Northampton-Market Harborough line looking north from Boughton Crossing on 1 July 1981. The Northampton and Lamport Railway has now restored the track to a point just the other side of where the signal box is in my picture, and a new station is now being built on the right hand side of the track here.
The Northampton-Market Harborough line was closed in August 1981, a few weeks after the date of my photo.
I try to post one of my railway photos every day to my Flickr account. This was posted on 3 April 2020.

50 002 Superb passes Appleford Crossing Box with 1A37, the 07:15 Oxford - Paddington
The box survived here only because the main road turns through 90 degrees, so any failure to stop would mean ramming the crossing gates
Eventually technology won out and the box was closed on 27th May 2001 , demolished and replaced with remotely monitored CCTV
