Our guide - view from the Juche Tower in Pyongyang
Wide view over Pyongyang from the viewing platform just below the torch.
The Juche Tower (officially the Tower of the Juche Idea) is a monument in Pyongyang, North Korea.
I put Mindy's girly bandana which lets people know she's a girl-dog (how can they not tell?), and also asks tells them "Don't pet me" and "I'm working".
I got this so maybe people would get the hint, and I wouldn't have to look like a bit meanie because I won't let them pet the doggie.
A blonde teenager in a white bikini bent down to, you guessed it, pet her as I stood in line for some fries and a drink. I really didn't mind telling her not to pet Mindy - I mean, can't she read?
I love it when people standing close to me, talk to each other as if I'm not only blind, but deaf as well. "Oh, look at the cute puppy!" "Ya, but she's working, so don't pet her", "What if I ask if I can pet her?", "You CAN'T, it's a Guide Dog" "OHHHHH...I wanna pet the doggie!"
Now this is not an exchange between a parent and a child, for some reason, they seem to know that they have to ask before they pet a strange dog, it is the teens and 20'somethings that are the worst for some reason.
I loved the bright pink of this bandana, so decided to highlight it by making the photo black and white with just some colour punched through the layers.
These guides, published by the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company, are an airplane nerd's delight. Think of it as an airliner striptease. You will find all kinds of detailed information on what is under that smooth, glossy aluminum skin.
The airplane on the cover is a Boeing 707-120B.

A ranger begins a tour aboard the Lake Queem II on Yellowstome Lake as it leaves Bridge Bay marina in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Yhe tour boat gives senic tours around the Lkae Village and Stevenson Island Area in the summer. Usually there is a ranger aboard to give the narration and tell about the both the history and natural history of the Lake area.
With a surface area of 132 square miles, Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake at high elevation (i.e., more than 7,000 ft.) in North America. It is a natural lake, situated at 7,733 ft. above sea level. It is roughly 20 miles long and 14 miles wide with 141 miles of shoreline. It is frozen nearly half the year. It freezes in late December or early January and thaws in late May or early June.Recent research by Dr. Val Klump of the Center for Great Lakes Research and the University of Wisconsin has revolutionized the way we look at Yellowstone Lake. Figuratively, if one could pour all the water out of Yellowstone Lake, what would be found on the bottom is similar to what is found on land in Yellowstone; geysers, hot springs, and deep canyons. With a small submersible robot, the researchers found a canyon just east of Stevenson Island which was 390 ft. deep. Prior to this finding, the deepest spot in the lake was thought to be 320 ft., at West Thumb.Underwater geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles were found at West Thumb and Mary and Sedge Bays. The hottest spot in the lake was found at Mary Bay where the temperature was recorded at 252° F (122° C). Hollow pipes, or chimneys of silica, several feet in height, were found rising up from the lake bottom at Mary Bay. It is thought that these are the old plumbing systems of now dormant geysers. Rock spires up to 20-feet tall were found underwater near Bridge Bay. Samples of this rock are being analyzed, though it is believed that these features are probably related to underwater thermal activity.This group of researchers also found that the conditions in Yellowstone Lake are similar to those that occur near the famous hydrothermal vents on the Pacific Ocean's mid-ocean ridge. Nutrient- and mineral-rich submarine fountains support incredible plant and animal communities, including bacterial mats, sponges, and earthworms.
Guide Bridge Station was built by the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway on its new line from Ardwick Junction, near to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway's terminus at Store Street, (now Piccadilly) to Sheffield and opened as Ashton and Hooley Hill on 11 November 1841 when the line opened as far as Godley Toll Bar. It was renamed Ashton in February 1842 and became Guide Bridge on 14 July 1845 when the line was extended to Sheffield.
The station originally had a 4 platform configuration with a large office on the southern side. However, the southern (former fast line) platforms were decommissioned and the tracks lifted in 1984-85 as part of layout alterations associated with the changeover from 1500V DC to 25KV AC working on the Hadfield line, with demolition of the buildings following a few years later. The area has been covered and used as access for the southern platform, but some evidence remains of the previous two tracks. The junction at the country end of the station was also remodelled in 2011 to allow Stalybridge line trains to cross the junction at 30 mph (max) rather than 15 mph as previously.
With the electrification of the Manchester–Sheffield (via Woodhead) line in the early 1950s, Guide Bridge, already a major centre of railway operations, increased in importance. Express trains called here, as well as EMU trains between Manchester London Road and the north Derbyshire towns of Glossop and Hadfield. There were also Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) services from Manchester London Road (Piccadilly) to Macclesfield (via Rose Hill Marple - closed in January 1970), Stockport Edgeley to Stalybridge and to Oldham (via the Oldham, Ashton & Guide Bridge Railway, which closed to passengers in 1959). The station was also where Express Trains to and from Manchester Central on the London Marylebone route, changed locomotive. Drawn by a Bo-Bo or Co-Co Electric Locomotive from Sheffield, a steam or in later years diesel Locomotive would take the train the final few miles to Manchester Central and vice versa. The Woodhead Line was busy with goods traffic, especially with coal traffic from South Yorkshire to Lancashire power stations. The station also accepted goods under British Railways "Passenger" freight service and had a licensed Buffet.
There was a large marshalling yard about a mile east of Guide Bridge at Dewsnap. There was also a stabling point immediately to the east of Guide Bridge station where engines could be fuelled. Guide Bridge was also where the local Retail Coal Merchants transferred Coal from British Rail Coal wagons, carefully weighed into One Hundredweight sacks for delivery to homes around Ashton, Audenshaw and Denton. Express passenger trains via the Woodhead line ceased operation on 5 January 1970, but Dewsnap sidings and Guide Bridge stabling point were busy until the final closure of the Woodhead Line (east of Hadfield) on 20 July 1981. The Class 76 electric locomotives were a frequent sight here, along with Class 25, Class 40 and numerous others classes of diesels.

A C13 propels the late afternoon motor train (the clerestory set) from Oldham into Guide Bridge, in heavy sleet.
I didn't note how many passengers were changing for the GC line London train. (This was one of Oldham's two "direct" routes to London.)
Another old photo. One of the second tier tourist spots in Manila is the Chinese Cemetery. It is an interesting spot, with some very grandiose tombs and draws enough people that there are guides who make a living showing people around. This was our guide when we were there.
As an aside, I have been looking over some old film scans, this is one of them. I have to say that the scanning of film takes forever, but once that is done, good exposures really need almost no processing and they do have a very nice character of whatever film stock you were using. I think this was Kodak Elitechrome.
