Driving across the Second Severn Crossing (the Southern of two road bridges) from England to Wales. Immediately after the bridge is a bank of toll booths. It's interesting that you're only charged to cross in the one direction, so people refer to it as the "tax on entering Wales". The charge was £5.30 per car, when I first wrote this, incidentally (I can tell someone got here by searching for that info on google!) Check out the wikipedia link for more details - it's almost certainly changed since.
I've ramped up the contrast to try to hide the car and M&S lorry in front of us and also beef up the moody sky. It was rather cloudy and rainy after several days of bright sunshine and high temperatures. Fortunately, once we got to Wales, the weather was quite good for the next few days.
This was the beginning of our short holiday in Tenby. More photos will follow, though not at great speed as most of my time is occupied with moving stuff into our new home :)
Oh, and whilst I did try to take a shot of the "Welcome to Wales / Croeso i Cymru" sign as we flew past, it didn't make for a very interesting photo.

On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
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.

Crossing back over the river to get to Conakry I got to admire the mechanical ingenuity of the man operating the raft.
I take a lot of pictures out the window of the red line train as it crosses the Longfellow Bridge. But here is ... look, a red line train crossing the Longfellow Bridge! And I'm way over here!
An Akron Barberton Cluster Railway SW1500 was the typical motive power used for the excursion trains the railroad operated during the Kent Heritage Festival. An excursion is shown crossing over the CSX New Castle Subdivision in Kent in July 2009. (Scanned from a slide)
St Mary, Kemp Town, Brighton
St Mary is one of three vast Anglo-catholic temples built in Brighton in the late 19th Century to serve the rapidly growing terraced streets of the poor. The other two are St Bartholomew off of London Road and St Martin on Lewes Road. St Mary does not keep that tradition of worship, but enough survives in its High Church fixtures and fittings to give a sense of what once was.
This is the only English church by the colonial architect William Emerson, who was mostly responsible for churches and railway stations in India. The interior, larger than that of St Bartholomew although of course by no means as tall, is made to seem more cavernous by the vaulting of the nave and crossing. The view to either east or west is towards grandness, but the space in between feels very empty, not helped by the large Dec windows filled with deep coloured stained glass windows by a variety of 19th Century workshops, mostly good in themselves but comprising an uneasy overall scheme.
The church is used regularly for concerts in this part of town which no longer feels independent or suburban, for the city centre has crept up St James Street to meet it.
Finally a warm stretch of weather, after weeks of cold temperatures... I was able to spend several hours outside today on a long walk... And at times it was also very bright with harsh sunlight...
We were in an Airbus A319 flying from Salvador to Brasilia at 38000ft. The 737-800 was northeast bound at 39000ft.
The Tongariro Crossing, in the Tongariro National Park, one of the best and most popular day hikes in New Zealand. The well trodden path can be seen descending, but it's the tiny figures on the snow (lower left) that give a sense of scale to the unusual landscape. October 2010. © David Hill

The closed Fossway Crossing signal box located by the Up Walsall line alongside Fosseway Lane level crossing to the south west of Lichfield. Friday 21st December 1990
Fossway Crossing signal box was a London & North Western Railway Company type 3 design that opened in 1875. A replacement 10 lever London & North Western Railway Company Tumbler frame was installed in 1890. The signal box closed on 16th December 1973 when it replaced by an automatic half-barrier level crossing supervised by Lichfield City signal box, the absolute block section being extended to between Anglesea Sidings and Lichfield City signal boxes. After the signal box closed the lever frame was removed and the signal box was retained for use as crossing keeper's accommodation when the level crossing was on local control until line was taken out of use
As for the location's name. The signal box is listed as being named Fossway Road Crossing signal box in sectional appendices between March 1937 and June 1969. The next sectional appendix published in October 1972 listed the signal box as being named Fossway Crossing. The next sectional appendix was published in February 1975 after the signal box had closed and listed the level crossing as being named Fosseway Level Crossing

This shopping center was built in 1980 as Crossroads Shopping Center.
Tredington Crossing is located between Cheltenham and Ashchurch. The crossing keeper's lodge dates from the opening of the line by the Birmingham & Gloucester Railway in 1840. It may have originally been a single storey building with the second storey added at a later date. The design is clearly derived from a roadside tollhouse and all the original windows were narrow and situated on the railway side of the building only - a result of the unpopular window tax which was not repealed until 1851. Unfortunately the narrow, paired windows on the top floor have been replaced by larger modern units.
When this picture was taken on 8th August 1989 the crossing was in the process of being automated and the building had been vacated prior to demolition, which occurred the following year.
A similar crossing lodge survives at nearby Brockhampton and another of very similar design but built by the Bristol & Gloucester Railway can be found at Oldends Lane Crossing, Stonehouse.
