Manarola, one of the villages in Cinque Terre just before the last train left.
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town.
Hard to believe (for some) but there was a day when cash was used more than credit cards. The first credit card was the 1950 cardboard Diners Club card in New York City - 2 years later it was being used in several countries around the world, and by 1958 banks were getting in on the "charge-it" game. In Canada, the evolution of "plastic banking" led to the demise of the penny in 2013. Another example of financial evolution is the Future Shop electronics store charge card ... they ceased business in Canada in 2015, becoming part of the Best Buy electronics emporium.

Hippeastrum, these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanical name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject.
Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").

The ceiling of St Paul's Cathedral in London, apparently depicting scenes of evolution.
"The images, painted by William Blake Richmond in 1890, could appear to depict the theory of evolution. Internet giant Google has been detailing every inch of the building using high-resolution cameras that have, for the first time, shown the 30 metre-high ceiling in great detail.
The cathedral's head of collections, Simon Carter, told The Times newspaper that the mosaic appears to support Darwin's theories about the survival of the fittest - which he said is shown through a depiction of a fish with teeth 'fighting for survival.' From the ground and looking up at the ceiling, Simon Carter, said that the fish image appeared to be a 'calm mill pond.' He added that when seen on Google images, though, the scene looked 'tumultuous'.
'The fish are writhing around, they have massive teeth, and are pretty scary.' He continued: 'With the fishes, it looks like they are struggling for survival. "It is red in tooth and claw. Richmond was obviously driving at something else.'
Simon Carter then went on to say how, when the mosaic was commissioned in 1890, Charles Darwin's theories were still controversial. At the time, the Church was still grappling with his work, The Origin of Species, that had been published 40 years prior. The Church of England apologised for dismissing the work and ideas of Darwin in 2008."
Plus d'une centaine de structures lumineuses inédites, fruits du travail de recherche et de reconstitution des paléontologues du Muséum, représentent les étonnantes espèces qui ont peuplé la Terre au cours des 600 derniers millions d'années. Vous y verrez des « célébrités » du passé, comme des dinosaures, mais aussi des espèces méconnues qui vous surprendront par leurs formes étonnantes et leurs modes de vie singuliers.

Once upon a time, a lock and key was the only way to secure and protect information, files and details. But with the evolution of technology all can now be stored with codes and encryptions. HMM!

This is actually a seashell I bought from a wet market in Sabah (northern Borneo)...
Purposely placed it in on the gravels to add effect...
McCall's Volvo B7RLE MCV Evolution stands at Whitesands Dumfries before working the 385 service to Annan I saw BF62 UYM at Castle Douglas a few weeks ago on the 502 during the big freeze when it was covered in road grime. Today it was a bit cleaner for a photo!

Oh, Those Flying Machines
Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum
Chantilly, VA
With the capacity of the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. completely full, this supplemental facility was constructed near Dulles International Airport outside the city in Virginia.
A hanger full of history.
The silver plane on the right is a Boeing 307 and this one was know as a Clipper Flying Cloud. It was the first airliner design with a pressurized fuselage. It could accommodate 33 passengers and cruise at 215 mph at an altitude of 20,000 feet and had a range of 1,750 miles. It went into commercial service during 1940.
If you look at the tail of the plane on the left, you will see Boeing 707 on it. This plane design was the first widely available jet airliner. It could accommodate about 140 passengers and cruise at 607 m[h with a range of 3,600 miles. Modified versions had a range of 5,000 miles. The 707 was introduced in October of 1958.
Behind the planes is a Concorde. It was the first ,and really the only, commercially successful supersonic airliner. It accommodated up to 120 passengers with a cruise speed of 1,340 mph and had a ceiling of 60,000 feet. Its range was 4,488 miles. It went into commercial service in 1976.
