IC 9632 sits outside the loading bays at Neenah Paper giving you a real good idea on how steep the little hill up to the building is. The engineer really has to dig in to get a couple loads moving up the hill for spotting.
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."

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I've seen fogbows before, but they are so transient they're difficult to capture. The fog must be just the right thickness with the sun at just the right angle. The fog was moving around so much it changed by the second. This was on Red Grade Road in the Bighorn Mountains.

On US 20 in Lagrange County, Indiana. Also known as Huff Corners School. It was built in 1904 and closed in 1964. A Lagrange newspaper, The Democrat, reported the finishing of the construction in record time:
"NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
At Hoff's Corner in Bloomfield Town-
ship Nearing Completion
WILL BE USED FOR SCHOOL DEC 19
Contractor Shelly has erected a fine structure.
In Remarkable Time
Barring accidents and unforseen delays, the new school building at Hoff's Corners (Huff's) in Bloomfield Township will be thrown open for use by the schools there on Monday morning, december 19th., and it is expected to hold the township teacher's institute there on the Saturday previous. When this building was being talked of this summer and fall there were many who made the prediction that it could not be constructed in the time specified. Remarkable as it seems, the truth is that contractor Shelly will have in nine short weeks erected this building and turned it over to Trustee Andrew Decker.
The contract was let on October 4th to Samuel Shelly of Lagrange for $3500, not including the heating plant, tile drain and the well which represent an additional $500. On Oct 6, Mr. Shelly began to assemble the material and employ the men and on Oct. 12 the stonework of the foundation was begunwith six stonemasons at work. This was finished and the brickwork on the walls began on Oct. 20with six bricklayers at work. The walls were completed on Nov. 10 and the work of the roof and the interior finish began. Since the beginning of the work Contractor Shelly has had from 16 to 20 hands on the job.
The old school building which is now used as the rear room is 22x32, while the new part in front is 30 1/3x62 1/3. The new part is divided into two schoolrooms and a hallway. The rooms are 23x28 and the hallway 12 feet in width, extending through the building north and south. The building is plastered with wood pulp plaster and is well ventilated by natural draft. Heat is obtained by the furnace in the basement with registers in the two front rooms seven feet from the floor and in the rear room in the floor. The front rooms will be used by the high school and upper grade work and each seats forty pupils The rear is used for the primary and seats 45.
The basement, which extends under the entire new part, is divided into two rooms, 25x30, with a 12 foot hallway and a 9 foot ceiling. the east room of the basement will be used for a play room and contains the well, wash basins, etc. The west room contains the cold air shaft for the furnace and the closets which are arranged for dry earth system. The furnace and stairways are in the hall.
Trustee Andrew Decker of Bloomfield Township has given the work his personal attention and whatever the feelings of the citizens of the township are as to whether or not the building should have been built this fact is true that Mr. Decker has procured through Mr. Shelly an excellent building for the township for the money expended. Plans for the building were drawn by architect A. D. Mohler, of Huntington, Ind.
The patrons of the Plato school have petitioned to be transferred to the new school and this will be granted, so Mr. Decker informed a representative of THE DEMOCRAT. This will make a total of 15 in the high school, and 75 in the intermediate and primary."
You can see in the back there is another addition that makes it quite large for a country school.
As of 2021, this schoolhouse has been sold and is being restored. The new owners reported that they would like to restore the exterior as much as possible but that the interior has been significantly changed.
The Saluda Grade is the steepest standard-gauge mainline railway in the USA and opened in July 1878. The three mile railway grade ranged from 3.7%- 4.7%.
The railway line was constructed to connect Spartanburg, South Carolina, Asheville and North Carolina through the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has been out of service since 2001.
Since 2001 the vibrant green vegetation around the railway has started to rapidly grow over the tracks and in some sections completely engulfed the railway. Beneath some of the railway it has been heavily eroded, which has caused many railway ties to become detached from the railway lines.

This Grade II listed building is one of three lighthouses in Burnham-on-Sea, but is the only one still active.
The beach here is incredibly flat and wide, situated in the Bristol Channel, which has the second highest tidal range in the world. Apparently it can recede for over a mile!! Hence the need for a lighthouse to protect shipping, I guess.
I can't help thinking it looks like a giant beach hut on stilts!!
