Waverley Abbey House is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion built in 1723 overlooking the water meadows of the River Wey and the ruins of Waverley Abbey in Surrey.
Sir Walter Scott used to visit the family living at Waverley Abbey House in the early 19th century.
It is thought that he used the name for Waverley (1814), the first historical novel. It would also be used for the Waverley Novels and Waverley Station, Edinburgh and Waverley, Sydney.
Waverley Abbey House is now the HQ of the Christian group CWR (Crusade for World Revival).

" We had new orders ! Destroy the A-series assassin droids, before they could kill some Jedi. I kinda failed. Kinda. For me it is okay, but less for command. I destroyed every assassin droids I met , but some of them found some Jedis, and Padawans before me. Not even able to protect themselves from a droid. I have the feeling that we, from the 253rd, are the babysitters of these Jedis. I had to take care of a Padawan who's master was lost. By lost, I mean he was killed. The Jedi, his apprentice and a couple of clone attacked a trench held by Nationalists. Most of the clone died. Well, all of them in fact. The Jedis made it into the trench, and started to cut some arms. And head. Stuffs like that. But then the assassin droid I was tracking found them. He shot the Jedi in the back, and was about to do the same to the Padawan, but I killed it before it could do that regrettable act . Then the Padawan get shot by one of the few Nationalists who were remaining. I finished what the Jedis started in the trench. Only one Nationalist was alive. He was yelling in pain, as the Jedi, before he died, cut his leg.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Hey, Padawan. Achieve this man. He's suffering.
/Padawan/ .. No ! I ... I can't ! I can't ! No !! Help me to get out of there !
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Not until you achieve him.
/Padawan/ Why don't you do it yourself ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Always the clones who have to do the dirty work right ? No, I don't want to.
/Padawan/ You said he was suffering. Do it
/CT-1024-52, Me/ No. I don't give a fuck if he's suffering. I don't want to. You should be happy that I'm not mutilating him right now. But, you don't like to see him suffer. You're a Jedi after all. Well, sort of.
He stabbed the men in is heart
/Padawan/ Now help to get out of here. I'm wounded.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ I don't care. Get out that trench alone. I already saved your life. Twice.
/Padawan/ Twice ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ The A-serie droid first, then the Nationalists. Twice. Now get out of there, we're moving. The command, unlike me, would be happy to see a Jedi alive. Even if you're not really a Jedi.
/Padawan/ You're completly insane.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Yeap, I know. I'm fucked up. I'm a bit of a psychopath... But adapted to this war.
Indeed I was. Jabiim is an hell. I liked it at first, but now, I just want to get out of there. Because of the wrong decisions from command, we will lost. It's sure. Alpha, Kenobi, and most of the Jedis generals are missing. Or dead. I think that none of us will leave this planet alive."

This is a Grade II* listed building according to Historic England which is a fine C18 town house with some good internal details, one of the finest of a series which mark Poole's greatest period of prosperity. It is now used as an office.
I taught a 5th and 6th grade photography class at Escuela Integrada a couple of weeks ago while in Guatemala. My group brought and donated a dozen cameras (most of them brand new canon elf 180's). It was amazing how good the students were with just twenty minutes of instruction!
Constructed in 1898 of Victorian architecture. A grade ll listed building.

This small Grade II*-listed medieval parish church is notable for being dedicated to The Head of St John the Baptist. The church has a very fine medieval rood screen dating from around 1500 AD. The church is fllled with beautiful wooden carvings by the Rev. Reginald Page, who was rector in the 1920s and 1930s. Some of his work can be seen on the pulpit and on the walls, where there is a finely carved memorial to those lost in the First World War.
The 80 car SU-99 heads westbound through Newfoundland with three SD60s pulling hard to maintain track speed. Newfoundland was home of Finbar in the 2003 movie "The Station Agent".
On a spring afternoon with the trees still budding out, a SD70ACC drags 378 by the signals at Trammells. At the top of a decent grade for eastern Alabama that peaks at 1.25%, in steam days the Central of Georgia often kept a pusher stationed in Sylacauga to help shove heavy eastbounds up the hill to here. This is also the spot where going east traffic control changes and is handled by track warrants with automatic block signals the rest of the way to Columbus. Going west to Leeds is CTC installed to handle the deluge of World War Two traffic, not only from through freights but also to the large ammunition plant that was located at Childersburg.
And yes, that signal on the right is actually leaning like that. Don't use it as a guide for making a level shot!

A side view "roster shot" of Broadmoor Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway locomotive 29 at Pikes Peak Summit. The sensor on my camera showed this as being level, which highlights the grades that the trains climb on their run up the mountain - though this is one of the shallower ones!
For the Saluda Grade faithful: This tunnel/underpass goes under Saluda grade, it allows Pearson Falls Road to pass under the grade while bridging Joel's Creek. Fascinating find whule checking out Saluda Grade. Saluda Grade is the steepest standard-gauge mainline railway grade in the United States. Owned by the Norfolk Southern Railway as part of its W Line, Saluda Grade in Polk County, North Carolina, gains 606 feet (185 m) in elevation in less than three miles between Melrose and Saluda. Average grade is 4.24 percent for 2.6 miles (4.2 km) and maximum is 4.9% for about 300 feet (91 m).
