hi everyone
i think i'll be around more nowadays. haven't been feeling creative lately. maybe because there's too much to be done. it's gonna be good to be back. flickr rules.
When I saw this crossing last year the lights were still in place. Once part of Seaboard line. Taken in Petersburg Va.
OK I've talked about this crossing long enough in my comments. This crossing was built in the early 90's when they removed the bridge and widened the road. It seams to have been pointless from what I can tell. One end was cut off in 1982 when the bridge over the Appomattox was removed. From the satellite view today the other end is not connected and I can not see where it went beyond the end.
The "retreat" to the Dan that began in January 1781 at the Cowpens battlefield in South Carolina had transformed into a "race to the Dan after the Council of War at Guilford Court House in present day Greensboro, North Carolina. With the Crossing of the Dan River at Irwin's and Boyd's ferries in Halifax County, Virginia, by General Nathanael Greene on February 14, 1781, the Race was won by the Americans.

National Route A006 (Argentina)
National Route A006 is a gravel road of 8.5 km (5.3 mi) connecting the town of Las Cuevas on the nortwhest of the province of Mendoza with the Christ the Redeemer monument in the border between Argentina and Chile. This road is only open in the summer season. It is always important to inquire in the cities of Mendoza or Uspallata on the road conditions as it could be impassable at times. In it winding length it changes altitude from 3,151 m (10,338 ft) to 3,832 m (12,572 ft).
Before the construction of the Cristo Redentor Tunnel, the road was the only border crossing between the two countries in this area.
Shibuya Crossing is best known for the incredible 'scramble' that occurs every time the traffic lights turn red, stopping all vehicles in every direction to allow a huge wave of pedestrians to flood into the intersection for a few moments.

Title: Crossing the Creek
This is an original oil female figure painting by Christopher Clark fine art. What can be better than a warm summer day spent by a glistening creek with a beautiful girl? What is water but a mirror to reflect the fading rays of the afternoon sun?
Size: 18x24"
Oil paint on stretched canvas.
I am available for custom commission paintings of all kinds.
Contact me for purchase information. Also available as a fine art print, stretched canvas print, or hand-embellished giclée. Inquire for details.
A view of Brigg signal box and crossing gates taken on 11th July 2015. The signal box was constructed by the Railway Signalling Company (RSCo) for the MS&LRly in 1885 making it a mere 130 years old! The large gates are worked by motors from a control panel in the box. With the North Lincolnshire resignalling, this box will become one of the fringe boxes to the York ROC! Photo: Ivan Stewart.
Another "shot through the windshield" photo.
If it looks this good being all shot through the windshield of a flying car and displayed on a computer screen, imagine being there. I know I am.
I wish flickr offered a "view full screen" option, that's how this looks best. I'm heading over there now to request it.

July 30th, 2011: Driving Utah's Route 95, a serious contender for Most Scenic Road.
Picking up speed now, crossing the width of Utah in a hop. It would have gone even faster if it weren't so ridiculously scenic.
