More than crossing it too. For a short way up was a cafe where we intended to have lunch.

Kummersdorf Air Base September 2006
These are all photos of an old german then soviet air base in Kummersdorf Germany. They're in the process of tearing it down to expand Shonefeld airport, near Berlin.
Most of these buildings were built during ww1 for training the German military. Then, as WW2 progresssed rocket research was done here in an attempt to come up with larger more powerful artilery shells, and then atomic weapons. Finally, when the scientists headed to the US and Russia, they started building artilery shells and training officers here.
After WW2, when the soviets moved in, the soviets had staging post for their troops, and started doing research on rockets for the space race. Somewhere in these pictures is a soviet explosive test area (it was a buried bunker with 35 foot thick concrete walls surrounding 10 foot thick steel bunker.) which was exploded and broke windows for over 3000 houses nearly a mile away.

Darenth Parish Church, which is dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch, is situated on the rising ground to the east of the beautiful valley of the river Darent. Rising near Westerham, the river breaks through the North Downs at Otford and, crossing the old Watling Street at Dartford, eventually empties into the Thames after a course of about 20 miles.
The whole of the valley is of great archaeological interest, not least around Darenth. The name of the river itself is of great antiquity and is a variant of the pre-Roman name ‘Derwent’. In Roman times, the whole valley must have been occupied. Roman remains have been found throughout its length, notably at Lullingstone, but also at Farningham, Horton, Kirby and Darenth. In 1894 an extensive Roman Villa was excavated a short distance to the South of Darenth Church, but unfortunately, has been allowed to grow over. The villa was apparently abandoned in the 5th. Century but a great number of its bricks have been incorporated in the nave walls of the church.
In coming to the Church, you will have followed the path that countless feet have trod over the past 1,000 years. It is doubtful if the avenue of magnificent horse chestnut trees has been there that long but parts of the church certainly have.
The first mention of a church on this site is 940 A.D. in a grant to Christ Church, Canterbury. That year was a year of comparative peace in England, with the Saxons firmly in charge. St. Augustine had landed in Kent in 597 A.D. and had soon converted the people of Kent to Christianity. There would probably been a small wooden church on or near the site of the present church. Then, when it was announced that the Manor of Darenth was to be given to the Cathedral of Canterbury, the local people decided that a more permanent house of God should be built.
Imagine the scene: a representative of the Archbishop is asked to visit the site to discuss the project. Having been received with due reverence befitting his position, he asks the local people what they intended to use a building materials. They reply that they will use flints with which their fields abound – as they know to their cost. ‘You will need something stronger for the corners’, says the Archbishop’s representative. ‘We could use the bricks from the Roman Villa’, says one of the local men.
So the building was started. The walls were made of flint and rubble, very solid and 2’5” thick. They were meant to stand the test of time – and they have! In those days, the Saxon church would have been just under 40’ long and 19” wide, with probably a small square chancel. The latter was demolished when the Normans enlarged the Church. The position of the original Saxon doorway, with its rounded arch and the original Saxon window (over the present doorway), can still be seen however.
The Normans must have come from Darenth soon after 1066 as, not long afterwards, they were building the magnificent castle at Rochester. They were also very zealous builders of churches – over 7,000 being built in the 100 years after 1066. Strength was the keynote of the Norman character and also of their buildings. Much of their early work was rough – it lacked grace and finish – but it has certainly stood the test of time.
The Normans needed larger churches, not only because the population was increasing but also to contain the more elaborate ritual which they had brought with them from the continent. So at Darenth they extended the church by building that beautiful solid chancel, with its three deeply-splayed round headed windows and its groined roof. They brought the stone all the way from Caen in Normandy, fashioned it with loving care and decorated it with paintings. They also added the magnificent font, which now stands at the back of the church.
In 1195 the Archbishop of Canterbury Hubert Walter who was Justiciar to Richard I, laid covetous eyes on the manor of Lambeth, as it would give him a base in London. A deal was therefore arranged with the Bishop of Rochester who owned Lambeth, whereby Lambeth was exchanged for Darenth. Darenth thus became the property of Rochester.
A notable feature of this particular age in England was the deep religious feeling which directed the daily lives of the populace. This found expression in the fervour which inspired the Crusades and the many extensions to churches. During this time the nave was extended to the south with a squint provided to give a view of the altar. A side chapel was in a bad state of repair and, as there were no funds for the work, it was demolished and the arches adjoining the chancel blocked up. The latter can still be seen on the south side of the chancel. However there is one part of the church built during this period which still exists, namely the tower of the south-west corner, which was very strongly built of flints, with walls 4ft. thick. The tower is crowned with a plain shingled broach spire of the usual Kent type.
The Middle Ages saw the end of feudalism in England and the rise of the enterprising middle classes. Very little was done to alter the fabric of the church during this period. Most of the windows were however enlarged to let in more light and the present doorway in the north wall was opened up.
In 1694 Cromwell came to power and heralded the Puritan approach to religion. Legend has it that the holes in the door to the church were caused by Cromwell’s soldiers pursuing a cavalier racing to reach the sanctuary of the church!
In 1660 it became compulsory to have a Royal Arms in church and those of Charles II were presented to Darenth by Edmund Davenport. Originally placed over the chancel arch, they were subsequently moved to their present position over the south door.
In 1888 Ewen Christian, who restored a number of other churches in the neighbourhood, carried out a complete restoration of Darenth church. A low plaster ceiling, which had been placed over the chancel, was removed to reveal the original 14th. Century oak rafters. The present eagle lectern, carved in oak, was installed. A gallery at the west end of the church, in which had been installed a barrel-organ, was removed and the present organ installed in the chancel.
In 1889 the existing porch was built to replace the original one which had been there since at least 1600. In 1915 the oak chancel screen was installed as in 1926 were the choir stalls – both were gifts from the Fleet family. In 1922 the vestry was added at the west end of the church to commemorate the fallen of the First World War.
In 1970 the Rev.Graham Thomas had the inspiration to form Project 70, the aim of which was to raise funds to build an extension to the church on the south side. This would consist of a meeting room, with ancillary kitchen and toilets. By 1972 sufficient funds had been raised for the building to be completed and consecrated.
For its time modern in design and concept, St. Luke’s Room blends with the ancient church. The ceiling is formed of laminated wooden beams soaring upwards and outwards from the old outer wall of the church. This has been left in its original state of rough flints and on it placed a simple wooden cross, carved by one of the young parishioners of Darenth.

Level crossing near Froland station, on the Arendal-Treungen line
Planovergang nær Froland stasjon på Arendalsbanen
...two girls wait to cross Broadway close to Times Square. I wish the second girl was not wearing black as the silhouette drowns in the background somewhat. Another solution would have been to have the camera slightly further back to get a complete silhouette of her. In any event, I did not plan for these girls to be in the shot - they just walked into it...

They have raised zebra crossings across the whole campus. These signs are a familiar sight near the traffic circle located near the center of the campus where the traffic volume gets haphazardly high during weekends.
Photo taken during a random morning walk around campus. I'm always amused by the number of restrictive, prohibitive signs in Singapore... but afterall, it's for our own good :)
Modified in Photoshop. Isolating the sign from the background, adjusting the curves so that the whites are really white. Sepia-toning the background. Enhanced contrast too.
