P.S. I always wanted to do a tribute to this anime and I just never had the drive until this Lion came along. :D So thanks to his attention to detail and inspiration, this photo came together so nicely! This anime series is really one of the best out there and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Thanks to the best partner in crime:- Kai's Stream ❤
Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building which was completed in 1863. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect. It is a Grade 1 listed building. In the late 1980's it was converted into a retail facility. After further restoration the Corn Exchange contains a number of independent retailers and food outlets. It is described as one of only three remaining Corn Exchanges still functioning as a centre for trade in Britain although not as a Corn Exchange. (1563)

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. - Jim Morrison

First visit to Chemical Beach with my friend steveniceton.co.uk. The tide was much too high to capture the Iron Wheels, so my feet got a good soaking taking this one of the Stack. We had been all set up for a LE from the other side with the groynes leading up to the stack, but when all the cloud action started happening behind us I had to abandon that plan pretty sharpish.

It took 16 photo sessions for a total of 35+ hours to get a few sweet images of these White-tailed Kites making an aerial vole exchange. It was well worth the effort.
Burlington Northern train Nos. 103 and 13 trade crews at Burke, Illinois, on April 7, 1990. Train 103 with GP39M No. 2830 was in the siding at Burke after delays and picking up cars at Eola created some concern that the crew would not make it to the next crew change at La Crosse, Wisconsin. Instead of sending out a new crew to dog catch the train somewhere, a clever solution of exchanging crews was used where No. 103’s crew would trade places with the crew of a higher priority train. In this way, No. 103’s former crew, with fewer hours of service left to them, would step aboard the hotter train and make the crew change point before “going dead on the law.” The hot train’s crew, with more available hours, would slog along with their “new” train, but they too would make the crew change point before going dead. I’m not sure how the crews felt about the situation, but it was a great way to keep the railroad fluid.
A pair of intermodal trains departed Chicago every early afternoon—Nos. 3 and 13—somedays with train 13 shadowing 3 by a block or two. This day was no different as No. 3 pounded past the stopped freight without stopping. The exchange of crews was going to be with No. 13, which came into view only a few minutes later. After making the crew “exchange,” train 13 took off like a bat out of hell with the hours-short crew. Burke siding’s signal blinked from red to yellow to green, and once again No. 103 headed west, albeit not as fast as the trains in front of it. The dispatcher got two hot trains around a slow freight in single-track territory and prevented a crew from dying on the law, all in one well orchestrated move.
Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmers’ market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]
With retail and hospitality closed and many people still working from home, this usually busy road junction was much quieter and easier to photograph when I was there last Thursday.
Usually, the difficulty here is to get your image in the gap between an endless procession of busses and cars. Now the challenge is to get a clean shot without the abundance of newly installed street furniture, cones and other clutter installed by the City of London to make the streets "Covid secure".

Mormon pioneers established the town of Escalante in the early 1880's. They built many brick buildings; many still stand. The People's Exchange was constructed in 1899 and functioned as a co-op. The building as been restored and might be used as a private residence. Benches are on either side of the front door.
Happy Bench Monday!
The Lumber Exchange Building was the first skyscraper built in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, dating to 1885. It was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by Franklin B. Long and Frederick Kees and was billed as one of the first fireproof buildings in the country. It is the oldest high-rise building standing in Minneapolis, and is the oldest building outside of New York City with 12 or more floors.

ants can collectively influence their communities by shifting the cocktail of proteins, hormones and other small molecules that they pass mouth-to-mouth to one another and their young through a process called trophallaxis.

Shot as night fell. I was parked about a block away (and one block off Route 66), and illuminated this with my flashlight during a time exposure.
Anyway, I thought you'd get a charge out of this. ;-)

I had a "party line" growing up. This was in the 80s, long after most communities had moved on from the archaic system. How ours worked was that several neighbors shared a line, though we all had different number (five digits, though seven could also be used).
When the neighbor's number was called, our phone would ring, but only a quick chime. If we picked it up, we could listen in on the conversation. This was a mostly-unspoken pastime. Everyone did it, nobody said a word (directly).
If you needed to make a call and another party was using the line, you didn't get to make the call. Again, this was in the 80s. The 1980s.
This changed in February of 1988 when the local phone company made the big switch. It wasn't to touchtone (that would still be a few more years), but to mostly private lines.
The dial tone was softer, we had to dial all seven digits. It wasn't a full switch yet, you could still call other numbers on your party line, you just had to dial the number, wait for a tick, hang up and then wait and hopefully your neighbor would be there when you picked your phone up again.
At some point the party lines disappeared - probably in the early 90s. By that time, we had moved into a new house and a fully private line and a touchtone phone were standard. At one point in my teens, I even had my own number.
