Tucked into the mountains of Iwate Prefecture near the under visited, stunning Sanriku Coast in eastern Japan is the Iwate Development Railway.
Established in 1939, the railway operated passenger and limestone transport from its mine in Iwate Ishibashi, to the cement plant at the port city of Ofunato for a total of 11km in length. The line suffered severe damage during the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. In fact, photos of debris covering the top of this bridge can be found online. The railway was brought back just 8 months after the quake and has been going strong since.
Two trains, pulled by DD56 Centercabs, shuttle 18 car limestone trains back and forth from the mine to the cement plant around 12-18 times a day. Here a midday empty train crosses over the Sakari River bridge bound for the mine for another load of rocks.

Testing out the Canon 5D in daily situations. This was taken on a lot next to my daughter's school - the far background is around the Las Vegas strip. Lots of construction going on notwithstanding the bad economy.

A new Pelargonium blossom emerges from its green cocoon to join the world of nature.
Only the second cluster I have had the pleasure of enjoying during their rather brief period of perfection.
To all who have kindly faved and commented on this image, thanks come from my heart.
This is partly a Jewish neighbourhood and under protection of paratroopers, but this neighbourhood is in decilne for more than a decade, due to migration.
HP5- Ilford pushed to 1500 by accident ;)
more than 30 years ago a trip to the province meant stepping back in time . provincial life was a laid back rural community. people in those days will take a stroll in the park just before dusk and would normally be home before it gets too dark. so for the city dweller a quick break in the province is a welcome relief from the busy , chaotic city life. fast forward 30 years later, 2019, this is how most popular provinces look now, new malls, more establishments and other modern conveniences, a replica of a major city in a smaller scale.

Panic
The Smiths
1986
UK #11
‘Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself’
This song was written in reaction to the BBC DJ, Steve Wright playing the Wham! track "I'm Your Man," immediately after a news report on the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Morrissey observed ‘the music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life.’
This is the view from the top of Richmond Hill tunnel in Leeds. It’s a cityscape that has changed enormously over the years.
The very prominent building is the Department of Health and Social Security head office, known locally as ‘The Kremlin’. It opened in 1993 on a site that was previously occupied by the ‘Quarry Hill Flats’ which were built in the 1930s and at the time were the largest social housing complex in the UK. Here’s a link to an article about the current building. Leeds Quarry House: www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/go-inside-kremlin-lee...
By the 1980s the flats suffered considerable social and structural problems. As a child, I remember riding past them on the bus into town and they always seemed quite scary. Here’s a link to some pictures and a little about the history of the flats. www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/people/leeds-quarry-h...
On the extreme left of the image is Leeds Town Hall, whilst on the right is where stone trains from Rylstone would deposit their load at the Tilcon depot.
It’s an area where further development is taking place, with some very expensive looking apartments being built just out of view to the left.

The Mercedes-Benz 770 K on exhibit in the Technik Museum Sinsheim was delivered to the Reichskanzlei in 1938 to serve for representation purposes. Technologically, the massive automobile that was employed in many parades of the time, was absolutely state-of-the-art. So did the design of the chassis e.g. employ various developments derived from the construction of racing cars.
To protect the passengers from assassination attempts the car had a mine-proof armor clad floor. In addition, it was equipped with windowpanes composed of several centimeters of bullet-proof glass armored doors as well as a retractable armor plate behind the rear seats. Where as the cabrio sott top, in the nature of things does not have any possibilities to be armor clad.
This predicament as well as the fact that Hitler used to ride in parades with the top down, and in addition to that liked to stand in an upright position seem to render these precautions more than dubious considering that they would have offered any protection below the waistline only. The car was propelled by a colossal 8-cylinder supercharged in-line engine with a displacement of 7.6 liters which produced an output of 230 hp already at a mere 3200 rpm. In spite of the enormous weight caused by the massive armoring this enabled the car to reach a maximum speed of 140 km/h, no less.

Ramsgate revitalised !! The old Pavilion is now a Wetherspoons...Rebuilt rather grandly...Have a lovely weekend my friends..
The housing development in center background sprung out of a gravel pit-turned-concrete landfill like mushrooms from a swamp. Not only is there no drainage from the hole they were built in, but as part of the deal for the construction of the Spanish Fork Parkway road the city of Spanish Fork closed one of two grade crossings, leaving this development with only one way in or out and thus geographically isolated from everywhere else.
