My work neighbour has quite a green thumb and as a result our little area in the office is inundated with plants.
I think it makes us work better with all the increased oxygen.
Matera :Partial panorama of the district inhabited by Albanian and Serb-Croat immigrants ,who arrived following the expansion of the Ottoman Empire
Part 2: In the sixteenth century Matera was enriched with a new farmhouse in the south-east inhabited by Albanian and Serbo-Croat refugees. The current aspect of the city has not always existed, but has gradually grown with the changing historical facts that affected the city. When this was no longer able to meet its needs, the district of Piano (that of Corso and Piazza Vittorio to be clear).
In 1672 the seminary was built by Archbishop Lanfranchi -The monastery and the Church of S.Chiara (1703) -The church of the Annunziata (1748) - The church of S.Francesco di Paola (1774) -The church of S. Lucia - the municipal seat in Piazza del Sedile was reorganized.
But the construction of the district of the Piano highlights the difference between the 2 cities. That of the Piano, a new city with offices, shops and large spaces, with buildings inhabited by the new emerging classes. On the other, a reality, that of the Sassi, suffocated by the few spaces, difficult to inhabit, in which the less affluent classes lived. At the end of the eighteenth century, a ghettoization of the Sassi was recorded. This led to consequences of no small importance in the two districts. rock chapels, and everything was maintained thanks to the frequentation of the faithful. Now a slow degradation action began due to the construction of churches and convents in the district of the Piano and all the patrimony that until then had been preserved thanks to popular devotion is abandoned. Churches often emptied of works of art and their religious content, are adapted to houses, stables and other uses. The churches that had been a meeting point (Cenobi, Casali, villages) outside and surrounding the town, the connective tissue of the Sassi (now become Urban) were abandoned to the oblivion of the districts and its inhabitants.
Parte 2 :Nel XVI secolo si arricchì di un nuovo casale a sud -est ,abitato da profughi Albanesi e serbo-Croati .
L'aspetto attuale della città non è esistito da sempre ,ma è venuto via via crescendo col mutare dei fatti storici che interessarono la città . Quando questa non fu più in grado di
far fronte alle sue esigenze ,nacque il rione Piano ( Quello del Corso e di Piazza Vittorio ) .
Nel 1672 venne realizzato il seminario dall'Arcivescovo Lanfranchi - Il monastero delle clarisse e la chiesa di S.Chiara nel 1703 -La Chiesa dell'Annunziata nel 1748 -La Chiesa di S.Francesco di Paola nel 1774- la chiesa di S.Lucia nel 1797 -
e venne riordinata la sede municipale in piazza del Sedile .
Ma la costruzione del Rione del Piano mette in evidenza la
differenza delle 2 città . Quella del Piano ,città nuova con uffici, botteghe e ampi spazi ,con costruzioni abitate dai nuovi ceti emergenti . Dall'altra ,quella dei Sassi ,asfissiata dai pochi spazi ,difficile da abitare dove stavano i ceti meno abbienti .Si registra sul finire del XVIII secolo una ghettizzazione dei Sassi . Ciò comporta conseguenze di non poco conto nei 2 rioni . L'architettura ecclesiastica si era sviluppata nell'agro murgico tra l'VIIIe il XIV secolo con costruzione di chiese ,cenobi e cappelle rupestri e il tutto si era mantenuto grazie alla frequentazione dei fedeli . Ora cominciava un lenta azione di degrado dovuto alla costruzione di Chiese e conventi nel rione del Piano e viene abbandonato tutto quel patrimonio che fino allora era stato costodito grazie alla devozione popolare . Le chiese spesso svuotate di opere d'arte e del loro contenuto religioso ,vengono riadattate ,ad abitazioni , stalle e altri usi .
Le chiese erano state punto di coaugulo ( cenobi ,casali e villaggi ,esterni e circostanti la civita ,tessuto connettivo dei Sassi ( divenuti ormai Urbani ) . Vennero abbandonate all'oblio dei rioni e dei suoi abitanti .

WISHING EVERYBODY HAPPY HAPPY 2009!!!
The 470 Club recently purchased former B&M GP9 1741 (later Guilford Rail 72.) The unit was purchased by Heber Valley Railroad along with the 77 and 52, but they didn't have interest in moving 72 after the other two left. A deal was then hashed out between the Heber Valley and the 470 Club to bring 72 home, and today that finally happened. The unit has been stored at Ed Jeffrey's shop in North Stratford, NH for the last few months and was delivered to Hazens this past week for the final leg of the trip. B&M F7A 4268 is in the final stages of restoration and once the F's are brought up to par, work will commence on the 1741, eventually being restored to the as-delivered bluebird scheme. This unit is one of 5 remaining B&M GP9's (originally a 50 unit order) and will be a great addition to the 470 fleet. As always the club needs funds to purchase parts, this unit at the minimum will need four traction motors and batteries. Any donations are welcome and would help to get the unit back on the road as soon as possible.
Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Double click image....
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.

A fantastic morning a few days ago. The inversion was nice but the cloud rolled in and gave some gorgeous first light looking towards loch Lubnaig.
This engine is one of a pair, I'm standing on the valve gantry of the opposing engine. Located at Kempton Park Pumping Station, Hanworth, Middlesex, UK. these engines are accessed at four levels. Beneath are the two pump floors out of shot. Operating on the triple expansion principal. Triple meaning the steam is used three times entering the high pressure cylinder first (RH), then into the intermediate cylinder (middle) and finally the low pressure cylinder (LH) before returning to the boiler via the condenser. I believe these are the largest working preserved triple expansion engines in the world. These give a feel for the size of the engines fitted in ill-fated RMS Titanic. Well worth a visit on steaming days. kemptonsteam.org/collection/triple-expansion-engines/

The engineer notches out four-month-old Susquehanna B40-8 4002 as it approaches BD interlocking in Binghamton, New York. The Susquehanna’s rapid traffic growth in the mid-1980’s had it looking for power wherever it was available, including leasing the trailing ex-BN F45 from National Railway Leasing. The GE became Providence & Worcester 4004.

Starting to look like Sandcut out here, what the hell over.
BNSF's North Bay, California to Willow Springs, Illinois Z-train wraps into the approach for Tunnel No.2, as it passes a more and more disappointing view from the north face of the Tunnel. Much like Sandcut from the Bena Road side this spot has been turning into a shithole the ballast pile, concrete ties, rails and the occasional wrecked railcar are one thing; but the bombed out Hyundai and literal pile of garbage are another thing almost makes this area feel like LA County...
