This is an irrigation canal that the Corp of Engineers built years ago for the farmers to use to irrigate in the high desert areas (like in Rocky Ford).
That's a golf course behind it, but on the opposite side of the road, are farms.

This is yet another quirky feature of our delightfully quirky village. The club's existed for over 70 years and kids of all ages up to 90+ love it. Several members are known even to have reproduced.
They have these open days once a month from Spring to Autumn, when families can go to picnic in a small meadow and have kids' parties plus train rides all afternoon for a fiver. I reckon there were 500-600 people there yesterday. That's how they finance the club which occupies land that would be worth a couple of million quid for development, easy.
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge opened on May 27 1937, instantly becoming a much-loved symbol of the city and an iconic piece of architecture around the world. The suspension bridge spans the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the American city of San Francisco, California – the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula – to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The San Francisco Bay, reached via the Golden Gate Strait, was missed for 227 consecutive years by passing Spanish ships. It was finally discovered in 1769, when bored hunters passed overland and found the bay; three years later, at last, the strait was spotted from present-day Oakland.

28/08/2015 : Forlì, piazza Aurelio Saffi, abbazia di S. Mercuriale: chiostro (ristrutt. Gustavo Giovannoni, 1939-41)
Engineered and manufactured in America by Baldwin Locomotive Works. This is the first drive wheel in a set of four from a Baldwin steam locomotive know as the Northern class locomotive. This system of main rods, control arms, side rods, coupling rods, and linkages synchronizes valves and pistons which controls the direction and power output of the locomotive.
This wheel is know as a BoxPox wheel. A Boxpox is a steam locomotive wheel that gains its strength through being made of a number of box sections rather than having traditional solid spokes (the name is a variation on "box-spoke"). Being hollow, they allow better counterbalancing than conventional drivers, which is important for fast locomotives.
This shot is a little misleading, and no where near as old as it appears. What could be a shot out of the 1960's, is actually the engineer of a Wisconsin Great Northern train in the yard at Spooner, WI back in 2004
Engineering works in the Cheltenham area over the weekend of the Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st May resulted in no fewer than six engineers workings returning from the possession to Westbury during the Sunday. The third of these working, 6C20 08:55 Gloucester Yard Junction to Westbury Down Yard, heads south through Rangeworthy in some lovely spring sunshine.

This is one of my favourite traction engines. Whilst most are fabulously painted in 'show' condition this one is maintained in its worn and aged condition. This is the real workhorse. It is named "Supremacy"
With an Engineering Possesion at the weekend i went down to the station to catch some of the return engineering trains on Sunday afternoon. DB Cargo 66057 brings the 6K15 Priesthill and Darnley to Carrlisle NY through the up platform.
The locomotive engineer of NYC 4-4-0 #999. #998 was built for the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1893. It was the frist steam locomotive to achieve a speed of 112 miles per hour. It was retired in 1952 and donated to the Museum of Science & Industry in 1962.

Dean Forest Railway, Parkend Station, at Parkend, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.
About this photograph.
The train led by the engine called Swiftsure had arrived at Parkend Station, and the staff operating the train were making preparations for the return journey to Norchard.
Here, one of the engineers is seen refilling the loco’s tank with water. The photograph was converted in Adobe Lightroom into black and white for a classic feel to the engineer doing the work.
Swiftsure is a Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST class of steam locomotive designed by Hunslet Engine Company. This engine was built in 1943, and bears the number 75008 painted on the side.
It was a visiting steam loco, having visited before in 2017 and 2018, she was back at Dean Forest Railway from June 2021 onwards. At the current time of writing, she is reported to be still operational.
My best friend and I were at Dean Forest for a weekdays holiday, and she wanted to have more day outs rather than being stuck at the cabin, so I came up with two different day out ideas. The visit to the Dean Forest Railway was one of the ideas, and my best friend enjoyed the rides.
I took the opportunity to try to find some interesting shots, rather than taking memorable photos of the holiday.
About the overall subject.
The Dean Forest Railway is a 4 to 5 miles long heritage railway, still running vintage steam, and classic diesel trains, as a tourist attraction in the Forest of Dean.
It started in 1799 as an idea for a horse-drawn tramway, linking the Forest of Dean to the rivers Severn and Wye, for the transportation of coal and iron materials.
Between 1800 to around the 1870s, it went through so many processes. Like building lines and branching out, changing company names, financial problems, rival companies, converting from horse-drawn tramway into steam powered railway, merging companies, change of railway gauge sizes, and so many other factors.
It became known as the Severn and Wye Railway during those years.
From around the 1870s onwards, in order to cope with financial difficulties, and to help with funding, they started fee-paying passenger services in addition to the goods carrying services. But ongoing financial problems, lack of traffic, and many other factors, continued up until around the 1940s.
After the Second World War (1939-1945), the railways in this area started to go downhill, mainly due ot declining coal industry in the area, lack of passengers, improvements in transportation elsewhere, and the nationalised of British railways.
Many stations and lines started closing down, or completely shut down, during the 1950s and 1960s.
Starting from the early 1970s onwards, a railway preservation society was formed to try to buy and save as much of the old railway, and run it as a heritage railway for tourism, and was then named as Dean Forest Railway.
At the current moment, the Dean Forest Railway is approximately between 4 to 5 miles long between Lydney and Parkend, with Norchard station as its home base, but they are hoping to extend the line to 7 miles in near future.
They run a range of mostly steam trains to 1960s diesel trains, with various carriages, and at least 5 stations.
For more details, simply Google “Dean Forest Railway” for history or for visiting.

Boatman at Camden Lock
Camden Lock, or Hampstead Road Locks is a twin manually operated lock on the Regent's Canal in Camden Town, London Borough of Camden. The twin locks together are "Hampstead Road Lock 1"; each bears a sign so marked. Hawley lock and Kentish Town lock are a short distance away to the east; there are no nearby locks to the west
The locks were constructed between 1818 and 1820 by James Morgan, with John Nash, supervising engineer. It is the only twin-lock remaining on the Canal, the remainder having been modified to single lock operation. The current locks are Grade II listed and replaced an innovative, but unsuccessful, hydropneumatic lock designed by William Congreve in an attempt to conserve water.
The lock is to the west of the Camden High Street road bridge. The yard and former warehouses, an area known as Camden Lock, are on the north side of the canal, at the junction withChalk Farm Road. This area is adjacent to a canal basin and holds Camden Lock Market, one of the group of markets often called collectively Camden Market. It is a busy market popular with visitors, with music venues, cafes and canal towpath walks. There is a large cut-steel sculpture by English artist Edward Dutkiewicz in the square beside the lock.
In November 2013, the locks were fully drained for maintenance; the public were invited for the weekend of the 16th and 17th of that month to see the infrastructure for themselves

Re-uploaded since the other photo was shit. Also this is old and I can't redo it to make it better. :p
