Most of the time when I’m in this area I take photos which are of this particular building, and indeed the spot where I am standing. This time, however, it was nice to get a shot from the entrance of this, the Royal Exchange, looking out through the columns.
There was a lot of lens flare coming out from the lights at the top of the image, but luckily this was only where the actual sky was. It was easy enough to paint over in Photoshop to ensure the flares disappeared. Then I opted to turn it into a black and white image anyway, so the lovely hue I painted in was irrelevant in the end.

Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, this Grade I listed structure was completed in 1862 and opened on 28 July 1863. Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three Corn Exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
37037 exchanges tokens with the signalman at Arrochar & Tarbet on 2nd August 1982.
The train was the 1634 Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig which was taken to Rannoch for 37014 back to Glasgow.
I saw a few of these token exchanges on the WHL and they were carried out at some speed! The rules of course now instruct drivers to stop and obtain the token. Tokens became a thing of the past in March 1988 when the new signalling centre at Banavie took control with radio signalling.
The loco was renumbered to 37321 in 1986 and then again back to its original number 37037 in 1989.
It spent a year in France from 1999-2000 and was stored at Wigan upon its return before being purchased for preservation in 2004.

Northern Harrier Food (Marsh Wren) Exchange Sequence. This action happened in literally 70mph windy condition. I was finding it tough to stand at one place and feared I may topple the tripod and gear while shooting. Amazing how birds align their position and transfer precious prey which takes them a awhile to catch while cruising over marshes. This poor Marsh Wren was literally plucked from top of a cat tail. I observed the Male Harrier(Gray Ghost on top in the frames) just dive on top of a cattail and emerge in split seconds with catch.
The Royal Exchange is situated at the junction of Threadneedle Street and Cornhill in the City of London. The current building was opened by Queen Victoria in 1844, but the Royal Exchange has been on this site since 1571

After using the privy, I took this and the other photo, hoping I'd see something "painterly" about it. This is about as close as I got. Things would improve as I ventured further into the Faire, but it was unbelievably crowded.
In the city where I live aren't many photography-related events. Although it's the second time we have an event called "Drying". Everybody can exchange photographies with each other there...
It is a rare sight nowadays to witness a token exchange. The driver of 59104 'Village of Great Elm', hands over the token to the signalman at Park Junction, Newport, having just completed the single-track journey from Machen with crushed stone destined for West Drayton on the 6A83 service. The strange metal box next to the car is to protect the signal man’s car from youths hurling stones.
Park Junction Signal Box in Newport is a GWR box that dates back to 1885, built by McKenzie & Holland with both lever frame and panel for signalling. There were 100 recorded levers in 1920. This splendid signal box, though somewhat dilapidated, appears to have quite a few of its original features. I am not sure if this little gem has achieved grade II listed status, but according to my research it is scheduled to be decommissioned sometime this year as a result of all signalling in South Wales ultimately being controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff.
