Went on another of the fantastic Hidden London tours today, this one was looking at the disused platforms at Charing Cross Underground Station. Will put up a few from the visit over the next few days... here are a few for starters.
The Rail Grinder was parked up on the other platform. Note the "fake" film poster to the front. There were loads of these types of poster (more to follow)... some for fake films and others of nondescript and generic advertising.
We found some grinding stones as we searched for more petroglyphs. They tell us a lot about where and how prehistoric people lived in the valley. We also found pieces of arrowheads which we left just like the way we found them. The information these artifacts contain is priceless.

Bom dia gente linda! tudo bem? Uma semana e um dia que não postava :S. Mas a preguiça foi embora junto com o final de semana e essa semana quero ver se posto todos os dias :D. O esmalte de hoje foi o primeiro texturizado da china glaze que usei, é uma lindeza só! Quando a gente passa a primeira camada e começa a secar a gente pensa 'wtf??' e acha que vai ficar horroroso e grosseiro, mas depois que maravilha que fica *-* Eu sou uma das que torcia o nariz pra essa textura quando foi lançada, depois de ver milhares de fotos simplesmente comecei a desejar todos!A pigmentação desse esmalte é mara! Cobre com 1 camadinha, mas eu prefiro passar 2 para dar mais textura e ficar parecendo tinta de parede :P .Esse esmalte tem um tom de rosa tããão lindo, fiquei apaixonada!Secou mega rápido e depois na escola uma amiga disse que era o esmalte mais lindo que eu havia usado haha, sem falar que a aparência dele chama muita atenção.A única coisa que tenho a reclamar desses textures, é que quando vou usar meu protetor com base, ou a própria base sozinha, ele impregna no esmalte, precisando de esfregar água e sabão na unha, fora isso, só amores <3.Tirei fotos dele em várias iluminações pra vocês terem uma noção de como é lindo :D

AMTK 94 leads the eastbound Pennsylvanian through Thompsontown, PA, as a Loram rail grinder can be seen on track 1 in the distance.

In the early 1870's The Inveresk Railway Workshops, Launceston began work servicing steam locomotives and rolling stock.
At that point in time a railway line was in operation from Launceston to Deloraine.
The workshops were involved of every aspect associated with the maintenance and building of carriages and wagons.
The workshops remained in full operation until 1994 when the decision was made to close the facility in favour of a new facility at Newstead.
As you step inside the now defunct workshops you immediately get the overwhelming sense that all the workers have downed tools and have taken a much deserved break.
That impression is in fact the situation as the workers did lay down their tools and walked out of the workshops on its final day of operation as is evidenced by this grinder which has remained idle since that time..
Fortunately it has never been gutted or has any material been removed, it remains locked in time on that day in 1994 when the last shift whistle sounded.
The workshops now house the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, the University of Tasmania School of Visual and Performing Arts and the Royal Launceston Show Society.

St Mary, Langham, Essex
I found Langham church in an idyllic setting near to the Suffolk border, pretty and remote. The only sound was the wind in the trees and a cock crowing somewhere off towards Stratford St Mary. I was greeted by Jerry, the church cat, and what I took to be his brother, or perhaps it was one of his wives. The cats are obviously well used to greeting hikers through the Dedham Vale who stop here for lunch! A sign on the door asks you to make sure that Jerry is not left inside when you leave the church, as 'he can't reach the handle'. I expect this church is always open, and it really is lovely inside and out. Nothing terribly exciting, just a feeling of its own 19th and early 20th Century past, and the crispness of a restoration in 2000. A sense of simplicity cum laude. I liked it a great deal.
Incidentally, I believe that Langham is one of just two placenames found in all three counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The other is the less surprising Sutton.

Brutal cold temps and sustained 40mph winds were there to greet us above tree-line as we attempted to summit mount washington in the winter. The big hill certainly lived up to its reputation as the worst weather on earth.
I was able to bag a few quick portraits. The camera proved to be unnecessary weight in my pack as it was a challenge shooting in such cold weather, but here's one of my buddy Scott Disnard trudging along the lions head trail somewhere north of 5k ft elevation. ( pretty high for the northeast US)
