The above title is due to the fact I uploaded, yesterday, a photo of this same old derelict building but from a different point of view ... regardless, it's another well weathered building!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
This is the way we vacation. We try to hit a different state and a car show every year for the past few years. We love it!
Took the boys on their first hike to the top (the 'non-technical top') of Flatiron #1. Whilst enjoying apples and still-cold water, the end of a rope landed right next to us, then another. Five minutes later this fellow popped over the edge and rappelled down. I asked, "Good day?"
He said, "Yeah...awesome day."

This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for September is 127 roll film which was introduced in 1912. Narrower than 120 film, it allowed for smaller more pocketable cameras to be made, perhaps most famously the Kodak VP (Vest Pocket) also known as the soldiers' camera because many of them were used during the First World War (1914-18). Today only a small number of films are available in 127, but it could have been worse, ten years ago it looked as if the format was finished forever.
My favourite 127 camera is the Voigtlander Perkeo which was made in Germany in the early 1930s. Back in the 1980s I picked one up for £1 and even took it on holiday in the pre-digital era when 127 was still a viable format. I'm planning to use the Perkeo again this month. In 1990 I bought two rolls of Kodacolor Gold film, but only used one of them, the other, with its Campkins of Cambridge £1.50 price sticker is still in its box. It expired in 1991, so the image quality is poor, but at least I got something out of it. Developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
Different style this week. Let me know what you think. My Phase 8 jacket, top and leather trousers with Wallis red shoe boots
Lastly, this panoramic was stitched together from several different photos (you don't want to know!), the first true panoramic I've ever done on flickr. I know, only two of three front towers here: I totally spaced and didn't get any shots of the left, southern end of the mall. But that was the end I focused on for the previous night's Citgo station photos anyway, albeit from the side instead of the front. Here again is the link to Memphis Retail's daytime panoramic from three days prior for comparison, where the *entire* complex was (thoughtfully!) included: flic.kr/p/AtnHiy. The monster I-55 sign can be seen as a little blueish blip in the extreme right of my photo, and Memphis Retail was able to capture it in that linked photo as well.
And with this, the countdown to the Tanger Outlets Southaven Grand Opening series concludes...but the story here is just beginning. If I go to the grand opening weekend (and mange to get in somehow!), expect more photos. The security person at the north entrance said I could take all the photos I wanted to then, and I intend to do just that!

In medieval times the area around was fought for by different parties. In 1232 Konrad of Thuringia, brother in law of Saint Elisabeth, had a fortified complex built here, that dominated the entire middle valley of the Eder river. There were a castle and an ecclesiastical area. Immediately the city was built with a large marketplace. It was obviously planned to have a strong bastion and to take advantage of the favourable traffic conditions.
The inhabitants of the new town were composed of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages and hamlets, who were resettled or voluntarily left their old homes. Frankenberg was soon surrounded by a mighty wall. Of the 25 towers and gates of the old town, only one still exists, the five city gates have disappeared.
The Liebfrauenkirche was built in 1286 according to the model of St. Elizabeth's Church in Marburg, one of the very first churches erected in Germany in Gothic style. It is believed that the entire "Bauhütte" moved from Marburg to Frankenberg to work here at the request of Landgrave Henry I , the grandson of St. Elizabeth.
In 1476, when a fire destroyed the entire town, the Liebfrauenkirche also burned out completely, which led to the loss of the precious original equipment. The church got rebuilt.
After the Reformation, the church became a Protestant church.
An iconoclasm started, under Landgrave Moritz (aka "Moritz der Gelehrte", "Maurice the Learned"), who, due to his Reformed confession, rigorously enforced the biblical prohibition of images. During this fury statues of saints and other Christian representations and artistic treasures were irretrievably lost in 1606.
When the Liebfrauenkirche had been completed, Johannes von Cassel donated his fortune for the construction of a pilgrimage chapel in honour of the Virgin Mary.
This chapel was designed by master builder Tyle von Frankenberg built 1370 to 1380 on the floor plan of an irregular octagon. The chapel was added on to the southern transept the church.
The "Marienkapelle" is an early testimony of the high gothic and a unique construction.

One Morning I climbed the trail up to the Neualpl Seen. The next time I have to be earlier for capturing the sunrise.
Maybe it's just a teenager's phase?...

A pair of KCS Gevos pass the RailsWest Museum, a former CRI&P Depot, before shoving it's cars back into the Council Bluffs Iowa Interstate Yard.
“The 206” can mean two very different things at Robertson Buses – it either refers to a bus route that goes to Long Eaton, or a decidedly dubious LHD Peugeot 206 staff car, which in this photo can be seen lurking behind the identically numbered bus service.
The connection between the two here is RB’s resident bus painter Mr Bitt, who bought the car while on holiday and then sold it to the company, and whose catchphrase is “I’ll do it in a Bitt” because he mainly sits around and rarely paints anything. That’s why everything around here gets painted at a snail’s pace, and 38 (among others) is still in its dishevelled as-acquired livery.
Route 206 was introduced in mid-2023, running between Nottingham and Long Eaton every 30 minutes using three buses. However, the Robertson Buses commitment is only two because the 3rd duty is covered by Smith’s of Nottingham and the route is operated jointly. It has the novel aspect of running out past Nottingham station and The Meadows, and cutting through Thane Road to get to Beeston.
Like the 204 as mentioned a few uploads ago, the recent gas works around Beeston affected the 206 because its usual route along Chilwell Road was closed, and it had to divert via Queens Road. Delays getting out of Beeston through the bottleneck of Station Road meant Beeston Interchange had to be temporarily cut from the route for timekeeping – since the diversion meant a double run through the most congested section.
City-bound buses also cut out the short section of High Road they technically could have still served in favour of remaining on Queens Road, to save time. This diversion lasted the full length of the road closure, including the later half-closure which allowed outbound buses to return their normal route, with the double-run reinstated at Station Road so the city-bound buses could serve the interchange again. It was crazy.
