I took this shot circa 1974 with the Pentax K1000 film camera. This photo was scanned from a print. These third graders are hard at work creating three dimensional clay maps of continents and ocean floors as part of a curriculum I helped create and develop.

St Andrew's Church in Winterborne Tomson, Dorset, England, was built in the 12th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 June 1972, and was vested in the Trust on 26 March 1974.
The small flint and stone Norman Anglican Church of St Andrew has an apse at the east end and a barrel vault roof which curves around it. The roof was replaced and windows inserted in the 16th century. The oak door is heavily studded. The interior has limewashed walls, a 15th-century font and flag stone floor, along with early 18th-century oak fittings. The eighteenth century oak pews, the pulpit, screen, communion rails and matching table with barley sugar turned legs, and other woodwork were provided by William Wake, Archbishop of Canterbury, who had been raised in the village of Shapwick and whose family lived locally. The west end has a late medieval gallery with a panelled front which was probably originally a rood screen. The roof is topped by a small weatherboard belfry which resembles a dovecote.
By the early 20th century, the church had fallen into disrepair and was being used as an animal shelter by a local farmer. Repairs were paid for by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings who sold a collection of Thomas Hardy’s manuscripts to raise the funding. The work was supervised by A. R. Powys who also oversaw the work at the Old St Cuthbert's Church, Oborne
Founded in 1867 this school was built to educate former slaves. It was funded by New York educator and philanthropist, Emily Howard. The one room schoolhouse is 26 x 40 feet and was built by local black carpenters and builders. It was known as a graded school because it only educated grades 1 through 7.
Originally it was called the Howland Chapel because on Sundays it also served as a place of worship (for what would become the First Baptist Church congregation) until 1920. The school closed its doors in 1958 after being a schoohouse for almost 100 years. It is little altered from the Reconstruction era, but got new siding and minor restoration in 1991. This is the oldest school in Northumberland County, Virginia. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

VTR 307 leads train GMRC 263 up the steep grade out of Rutland and over the Green Mountains to Bellows Falls
With their EMD 16-645 Prime Movers screaming, four Blue Ridge Southern SD40-2's make the final assault on Camelback Grade and into Canton with a decent sized T31 dragging behind.
Led by a quartet of SDs, a westbound train on Southern Pacific's Modoc Line climbs out of the Madeline Plains toward Sage Hen summit. This ASEUM is near old Pinnio, which was once a station on the grade between Madeline and Sage Hen.
Led by Southern Pacific GE AC4400CW No. 340, an eastbound Union Pacific coal train descends the two percent grade between Clay and Rocky, Colorado on April 13, 2002. The head en is approaching the west switch of Rocky siding, and the two DPUs on the rear of the train are above and just crossed over the east switch of Clay siding, while a lone mid-train DPU is circling Big 10 Curve out of sight to the left.
I had finished a photoshoot with someone for shots of their horses with the grandkids and stayed in the area for an extra hour and a half for a storm to cross so I could photo this grader that was sitting in their field. Nothing spectacular, I just loved the yellow against the dark sky.
Looking from the Observatory Tower of Lincoln Castle towards the Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185.
The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

Truckers call this stretch of mountain just East of Pendleton Oregon "Cabbage" but don't ask me why. One story was a truck loaded with cabbage crashed coming down, but lots of trucks have crashed coming down so why cabbage would get the name, who knows, but ask any trucker that's been driving a few years and they'll know about Cabbage hill. The the truck in this shot is headed East, I was standing just below the West bound lanes. I had parked at the scenic view point and hiked back to the highway and crossed over to get an open view of the mountains and highway below. (I'll include a link to my truck and the scenic view point)
Been back and forth between Phoenix and Los Angeles the past few days, at our Jurupa Valley terminal tonight and have tomorrow off, sort of, picking up Monday morning at 0300, so Mondays gonna kinda sucks, but getting layover pay which is double on the weekends. $200 for a day off, not bad.
Internet here is better at night, so gonna do as much tonight on Flickr as possible, and tomorrow even with slower internet should be able to do more viewing.
Hope you're all having a great weekend taking beautiful pictures.

A view from the cab as SP's I-SF-24 train navigates the loops at Goldtree, just north of San Luis Obispo, California.
TPWs Indiana Job slowly makes its way up the small grade outside Goodland, IN with 6 standard cabs up front.
With no "two of a kind" locomotive type in the lead (SD70ACe-T4, SD70M, C44ACM, SD40N), UP's daily Roper - North Platte manifest hugs the east bench in the Weber River Valley leaving Henefer, Utah on June 10, 2023.
The action is intense south of Rainelle along the NF&G for loads returning back to the outside world at Meadow Creek, WV. Half of the train has been left behind at the base of the grade and still, this is how hard a duo of modern GEs has to work to get the train u to stable ish ground at Meadow Bridge.

EP07-2004 with interregional passenger train 76901 "Kamieńczyk" from Poznań Główny to Szklarska Poręba Górna approaches Szklarska Poręba Dolna. From this perspective you may guess that the Izera Railway from Jelenia Góra is definitely a mountainous route. January 30, 2019.

EP07-2004 z pociągiem InterRegio 76901 "Kamieńczyk" z Poznania Głównego do Szklarskiej Poręby Górnej, wjeżdża do Szklarskiej Poręby Dolnej (po drodze zaliczy jeszcze przystanek o końcówce nazwy "Średnia"). Z tej perspektywy widać, że Kolej Izerska to nie tory na płaszczyźnie :)

Southbound empty train C640 from Martin yard heads to Hazard on the former E&BV subdivision. The train is cresting the steep grade out of Beaver Gap. Train is between Kite and Deane Kentucky.
Pitstone Windmill is a Grade II* listed windmill in England which is thought to date from the early 17th century. It stands in the north-east corner of a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire, and belongs today to the National Trust.
With nearly 200 empties, eastbound CSX empty double-coal train U214 slowly ascends the steep gradient through Moss Run, VA, as they're determined to not come to a complete stop just ahead of the OX Cabin control point on the sunny afternoon of February 16, 2020.

A scene from my S gauge model railroad. Shot with the Olympus E-M1. The Texas & Pacific diesel is an original from American Flyer.
We caught up with the 29G we saw at Salem earlier for this seen in the middle of Christiansburg Grade. Still gloomy, but the fog on the hills added some ambience.
An old road grader with a snow removal wing attached. I believe this old beast is still in working order
Needs the Light Box.
Back to school pictures are in order today. The remaining summer fun will now have to be experienced in the evenings and weekends. I was brave saying goodbye to my 3rd grader this morning, we met her teacher last night and I am expecting a great year! I'm looking forward to volunteering and getting involved.
