Diagonal crossing. Isn't this smart?

A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, resembling the coat of a zebra. A zebra crossing typically gives priority to pedestrians.
Zebra crossings were originally introduced in law by section 18 of the Road Traffic Act 1934.
Although the origin of the name is disputed, it is generally attributed to British MP James Callaghan who, in 1948, visited the country's Transport Research Laboratory which was working on a new idea for safe pedestrian crossings. On being shown a black and white design, Callaghan is said to have remarked that it resembled a zebra.
After isolated experiments, the zebra crossing was first used at 1,000 sites in the United Kingdom in 1949 in its original form of alternating strips of blue and yellow. They were introduced nationally in 1951.
In 1971, the Green Cross Code was introduced to teach children safer crossing habits, replacing the earlier "kerb drill".
Well, I'm not crossing over the railway line from this point as that would be more than dangerous! Just looking along the railway line towards Prestwick Railway Station and the pedestrian crossing!

Crossing Mnisose (“minne-show-she”) tells the story of one of America's first feminists, Sacajawea, and draws a line from a completely original view of Lewis and Clark to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight for the Mnisose (or what Europeans named the “Missouri River”) and the lands that contain the burials of their ancestors. From celebrated playwright, activist, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee Nation), whose Manahatta captivated audiences at Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Abbey Road Zebra Crossing; from the other side, looking south.
"The Abbey Road zebra crossing in north London - made famous after appearing on a Beatles album cover - has been given Grade II listed status.
The crossing - the first of its kind to be listed - is being recognised for its "cultural and historical importance" following advice from English Heritage.
The Beatles were photographed on Abbey Road in Ian Macmillan's iconic cover shot for the 1969 album Abbey Road.
Sir Paul McCartney said it was the "icing on the cake" in a great year.
The original zebra crossing, where the photograph was taken, was moved several metres for traffic management reasons more than 30 years ago, and no original features remain.
A spokesman for Westminster City Council said: "The detail of exactly when and why the crossing was moved from its original location have been lost in the annals of time.
"But by comparing photographs with the Ordnance Survey maps, we believe that the crossing might have been further north nearer 3 Abbey Road, which was the front house of the EMI Studios, because the steps of Neville Court appear to the right of the crossing in original photographs of the crossing, whereas the present crossing is near the junction of Abbey Road and Grove End Road."
But John Penrose, Minister for Tourism and Heritage, said: "This London zebra crossing is no castle or cathedral but, thanks to the Beatles and a 10-minute photo-shoot one August morning in 1969, it has just as strong a claim as any to be seen as part of our heritage."
Roger Bowdler, head of designation at English Heritage, said: "This is obviously an unusual case and, although a modest structure, the crossing has international renown and continues to possess huge cultural pull - the temptation to recreate that iconic 1969 album cover remains as strong as ever.
"Together with the nearby Abbey Road studios, also listed at Grade II on our advice, they remain a Mecca for Beatles fans the world over."
Sir Paul said: "It's been a great year for me and a great year for the Beatles and hearing that the Abbey Road crossing is to be preserved is the icing on the cake."
The crossing is outside the Abbey Road studios, where the Beatles recorded much of their output.
That building was granted Grade II listed status in February.
A Grade II listing, the most common protected status, means that a building or monument is recognised as nationally important and of special interest."

In rural areas, cows take precedence over people. The cars will just have to wait as a dairy herd heads to the barn (with little human guidance).
Seen approaching one of the many level crossings North of Cheltenham, 47805 is making light work of a light load. 2 Mk2 coaches is hardly strenuous work for a Duff!
I think these two coaches have just been refurbed down at Easteigh and are heading North for the future Carlisle to Sellafield.
Flipping winter weather makes for a horrid shot :(
A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, from which it derives its name. A zebra crossing typically gives extra rights of way to pedestrians and not actual Zebras.

I have been a bit busy lately, didn't had much time for pictures but I am catching up, some new textures in making also:-))
I was using Portra 400NC film, and as this is portrait film, I though I would shoot a portrait of the crossing gate here in Three Oaks, MI.
I used a Horseman VH-R camera and a 150mm lens along with a Polariser. The lens was wide open at f/5.6. A larger aperture would be nice. I average metered using the Sekonic 758DR.
Basin Road crossing as seen from the footbridge next to Stockbridge Road. Part of the Brighton to Portsmouth line (LBSCR), the gates near Chichester station always seem to decend very early causing large traffic and pedestrian queues.

This is the third crossing of the day so far. The second actually had a bridge thankfully! We had two more stream crossings with one of those having a bridge too. So that makes five crossings for the day including three wet crossings!
I was a lot more comfortable with this one even though it was a long way. We went across another log to an island in the stream, then took this log that mostly went upstream, then crossed in knee deep water the rest of the way. The flip flops worked much better than barefoot in the water, but I'd definitely keep the boots on next time.
Notice the tent is about to fall out. Thank goodness it didn't!

A BRIDGE CROSSING
@ THE FESTIVAL GARDENS
In 1984, a former household tip site adjacent to the River Mersey was transformed into the country’s first ever garden festival. The International Garden Festival was a concept born from the Conservative government to regenerate Liverpool and drive tourism to the city in the wake of the Toxteth riots and industrial decline. A five month pageant from May to October, the International Garden Festival attracted some 3.4 million visitors with its mix of 60 ornamental gardens from all parts of the world and the centrepiece Festival Hall which contained various floral displays. When the festival closed its doors, a large part of the site was developed into residential housing, while the remainder experienced various incarnations as leisure and entertainment facilities, until it was left derelict in 1997 to fall into disrepair. In 2007, Liverpool City Council granted Langtree planning permission to develop a residential-led regeneration scheme of the festival gardens which included the restoration of the formal gardens and the development of 1,300 homes. This new dawn for the Festival Gardens has been a long time coming and represents a unique opportunity to create a public park which is befitting the spirit of the Garden Festival movement. The redevelopment work began in February 2010 and will see the Japanese gardens, sculptures, lakes and associated watercourses restored ahead of its re-opening. The Festival Gardens project is being managed by The Land Trust on behalf of the land owner Langtree and Liverpool City Council thanks to a grant of £3.7m from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA). This work is the first step in the regeneration of the site which will ultimately see new residential development sitting alongside the newly opened park.The site is situated on Riverside Drive, Liverpool.
