A Class 390 Pendolino electric multiple unit in the fleet of Virgin Trains West Coast accelerates away from Carlisle with 1M15, the 14:40 Glasgow Central - Euston service on Thursday 20th October 2016.
On my first visit to Carlisle station for many years my initial thought was "why is it so dark?" The explanation soon became apparent: self-evidently the overall roof is being refurbished, and I'm sure it will look fantastic when it's finished, but I wouldn't want to have to pay that scaffolding bill.
Lies Baas 2011 Framework needs to keep up any structure....balance is needed to hold it all together....mine seems off a bit lately. So there are plans to be made, health to be kept, and an open mind to fine tune the lay out. But most of all...open your shutters to let the light shine in.
Carved breast panels and richly decorated scrollwork carvings at cambered gable, dominating cambered braces with St. Andrew's Crossings on both sides
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Album Description – Idstein, Germany – 2016APR07
I visited somewhere so small I didn’t see any stoplights, so big it has 11 suburbs – eleven formerly independent villages absorbed in 1971 into Idstein, a splendid Town of Tradition with history dating to 1102 – a royal seat in the past and a modern city in the present!
My friends Dori & Siggi picked me up 2:00 at the crew hotel; Dori drove us north across the Rhine River, then 12 miles on further north, past Wiesbaden up into a magnificent town in the Taunus Mountains I have long wanted to tour. Highlights:
✓Castle Lane („Schloßgasse“):
• Tower of Idstein 'Bergfried', 'Wachturm', a 12th-century free-standing fighting-tower in Castle Garden 'Schloßgarten', a part of Idstein Castle a.k.a. the Witches‘ Tower 'Hexenturm'

Due to its well-preserved Old Town 'Altstadt', Idstein is on the German Timber-Frame Road 'Deutsche Fachwerkstraße', a tourist route through towns with fine timbered construction. It was so much fun visiting here with my friends Dori & Siggi; I am scheduled for FRA next week, when we plan to return!

Waiting to go to exercise class and enjoyed looking at the Bus Station lean-to. For the record the aperture was f8.

The original framework (a slightly different PoV) in the previous upload:
Steel framework for new buildings going up on the last part of the once huge Scottish and Newcastle brewery site that hasn't yet been redeveloped. Didn't have the tripod with me as was walking home from work, so improvised night shot, setting timer and sitting camera on handy flat-topped railing (you can see it leading away on the right) and that seemed to work well enough for a longer exposure to to its thing.
If I recall correctly this would be roughly where the old Tartan Club social venue for the brewery used to be, with industrial units adjacent. Here's a night pic I took from almost the same spot back in 2008, where the Tartan Club and other buildings had already been demolished, but some of the industrial structures and chimneys by the canal were still standing - www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/2286607584/in/ph...
Ex Wynns of Newport Diamond T 981 3630DW, not long sold by Alan Davis Recovery of Worcester (aka Warndon Service Station) arrives courtesy of Peter Court's Scammell Crusader low loader with its new owner.
The not insubstantial lifting frame that utilised the DT's GarWood winch was removed not long after I took this picture in the late '80s. Apparently a Ford dealer fitted this framing after Wynns sold it, does anyone know what dealer it was please?

Last night I've climbed on the top of cable-stayed red bridge (highest in Moscow) and met here very beautiful morning.
This is just the basic framework for this pattern. You can make it different sizes, but it's nice if you make it with gaps that are 10 x 10 half-studs, because then you can fit lots of other things into them. The one on the right has holes that are 6x6, which is a somewhat awkward size to work with. I still liked how it looked, though.

Half-timbered houses in the little town of Cadolzburg, seen from the gateway of Cadolzburg Castle, Franconia (Bavaria)
Cadolzburg Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1157. In the mid-13th century the area around Cadolzbug was acquired by the burgraves of Nuremberg from the house of Hohenzollern, who were known in the Middle Ages simply as the Zollern. Originally they came from Swabia, but after they were appointed burgraves of Nuremberg by the emperor in 1191, their centre of power shifted to Franconia.
The main castle, perched on a steep rocky spur, has an imposing ring wall, which like the main gate and the so-called Palas ( as a part of the New Palace) dates from the 13th century. Only the basement known as the crypt beneath the originally free-standing chapel has remained from what was probably the previous building on this site. In front of the main castle is a spacious bailey, which was initially where the castle guards lived. In the Renaissance period a garden was laid out in the bailey.
The ring wall surrounds both Old and New Palace, which are connected by the chapel wing. Despite its name, the section of the so-called New Palace adjoining the chapel is the oldest part of the castle and dates from around 1250. The Old Palace was built in the 15th century under Elector Friedrich I. About 1600, the New Palace was considerably extended.
When in the 14th century the House of Hohenzollern increasingly came into conflict with the citizens of the Imperial City of Nuremberg, they moved their seat of government to the nearby Cadolzburg Castle. In 1415 King Sigismund then appointed burgrave Friedrich VI Elector of the Mark Brandenburg. From this time on the House of Hohenzollern was included among the seven rulers entitled to elect kings, and occupied an eminent position in the Old Empire, from which the Hohenzollerns eventually rose to become kings of Prussia in 1713 and emperors of the German Empire in 1871. This was how for a long time in the Late Middle Ages Berlin came to be governed from Cadolzburg and Ansbach.
Shortly before the end of the World War II, on 17th April 1945, the castle went up in flames. A small group of German soldiers, who belonged to Nazi-Germany’s last means, had entrenched themselves behind the castle walls and shot at two arriving armoured US regiments on their way to the city of Nuremberg. Of course the American Sherman tanks returned fire. The firestorm raged for days and the main castle lost its roofs and ceilings. For decades the ruin remained open to the sky and increasingly deteriorated.
Over the past few decades the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes, which had entered into possession of the castle in 1979, has secured the rock on which the castle stands and the building substance and rebuilt large sections of the complex. In 2016 the work on the interior of the Old Palace was completed and in June 2017, restored Cadolzburg Castle was reopened to the public.
The little town of Cadolzburg has more than 10,700 residents and is located about 10 km (6.2 miles) west of the city of Fuerth and about 15 km (9.3 miles) west of the city of Nuremberg in the Bavarian district of Middle Franconia. Its municipal territory belongs to the Nuremberg metropolitan area.
During the High Middle Ages, the settlement began to prosper around the castle, but the spot was already inhabited since the year 793, when Herrieden Abbey was founded at this place. The name “Cadolzburg” most likely traces back to Count Kadold, who is believed to be the founder of Herrieden Abbey. At the beginning of the 15th century, elector Friedrich VI from the House of Hohenzollern, came into possession of the castle and the estates belonging to it. His son Albrecht Achilles, margrave of Brandenburg, made Cadolzburg his hunting lodge and the forests surrounding it his hunting grounds.
In the 1880s, Cadolzburg was connected to the new train line between Nuremberg and Crailsheim by stagecoaches. But in 1892, Cadolzburg itself got a rail connection. At that time the residents still made a living mainly from farming and working in the nearby quarries. Today Cadolzburg is a rather popular place of residence. On the one hand it is still a quiet and sleepy little town with great recreational value, but on the other it is also very well connected to the nearby cities of Fuerth and Nuremberg by roads and local public transport.

Taken at Bethlehem Steel in the shadow of the towering blast furnace. Behind the visitors center, there is a clearing where many pipes and openings can be seen on the buildings behind the blast furnaces. I liked how this particular structure looks like a window on the roof of a house.
