Fietsbrug Tegenbosch

  

Om de aansluiting van de drukke Anthony Fokkerweg op de A2 te kunnen verbeteren moest het fietspad op het viaduct verdwijnen. Voor de fietsers kwam er een nieuwe 160 meter lange fietsbrug over de A2 / N2, die daar maar liefst veertien rijstroken breed is, nog afgezien van de bijbehorende vluchtstroken en (midden)bermen.

 

In order to improve the connection of the busy Anthony Fokkerweg to the A2, the cycle path on the viaduct had to disappear. For cyclists, a new 160-metre-long bicycle bridge was built over the A2 / N2, which is no less than fourteen lanes wide there, not counting the associated emergency lanes and (central) verges.

 

Um die Anbindung des stark befahrenen Anthony Fokkerweg an die A2 zu verbessern, musste der Radweg auf dem Viadukt verschwinden. Für den Radfahrer wurde eine neue 160 Meter lange Fahrradbrücke über die A2/N2 gebaut, die dort nicht weniger als vierzehn Fahrspuren breit ist, die zugehörigen Standstreifen und Mittel-/Seitenstreifen nicht mitgerechnet.

 

Afin d'améliorer la connexion du très fréquenté Anthony Fokkerweg à l'A2, la piste cyclable sur le viaduc a dû disparaître. Pour les cyclistes, une nouvelle passerelle cyclable de 160 mètres de long a été construite au-dessus de l'A2/N2, qui compte pas moins de quatorze voies de large, sans compter les voies d'urgence associées et les accotements (centraux).

 

Para mejorar la conexión de la transitada Anthony Fokkerweg con la A2, el carril bici del viaducto tuvo que desaparecer. Para los ciclistas, se construyó un nuevo puente ciclista sobre la A2/N2 de 160 metros de longitud, que tiene nada menos que catorce carriles de ancho, sin contar los carriles de emergencia asociados y los arcenes (centrales).

 

Per migliorare il collegamento della trafficata Anthony Fokkerweg con la A2, la pista ciclabile sul viadotto ha dovuto scomparire. Per i ciclisti è stato realizzato un nuovo ponte ciclabile lungo 160 metri sulla A2/N2, che è largo ben quattordici corsie, senza contare le corsie di emergenza e le banchine (centrali) associate.

 

Para melhorar a ligação do movimentado Anthony Fokkerweg à A2, a ciclovia do viaduto teve de desaparecer. Para os ciclistas, foi construída uma nova ponte ciclável com 160 metros de comprimento sobre a A2/N2, que não tem menos de catorze faixas de rodagem, sem contar as faixas de emergência associadas e as bermas (centrais).

“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”

― John Keats, Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne

Yesterday I complained about the lack of spring migrants returning to the Driftless Region due to the cold winterlike weather. The weather didn't improve today, but the bird gods did their best to make me feel better. This male brown-headed cowbird is wearing a gorgeous green winter jacket to fend off the cold freezing temperature. He'll be staying right here at Lake Meyer Park for the summer.

Vanguard, 2 Riflemen, and a female Scout. Comment your favs. Ik they're similar but I think they look much better than some of the originals. Share your Rebel armies too!

Endeavoring to improve this image along with showing what can be done with the Fuji-X cameras. I re-shot this photo using the averaging meter putting high lights in zone 7 [+2 exposure] and processed as a in camera jpeg where I softened the highlights & shadows by -1, then softened the clarity in camera raw for the final low key image..

Falköping, Sweden. Inspired by my friend Kaliak and her fantastic photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/21896155@N04/. And improved by suggestions made by my friend BKHagar, as can be seen in the comments below :)

Improved with Google tools.

So many times I see these small woodpeckers and I try to remember which is the Downy Woodpecker and which is the Hairy Woodpecker. They are so similar at first glance. So I bought a really good bird book to help me identify the birds that will be returning to our area soon. The book is beautiful to browse through and it has me excited for the new birding season. I found out that this guy is the Downy Woodpecker. I will concentrate on trying to spot the two main differences to tell them apart. This guy has a shorter beak than the Hairy. Plus, the Downy has these black spots on the white tail feathers which you can just tell on the one image.

 

This brings me to my next goal in photography. I just deleted about 500 images from my photo stream this week. I will get rid of more. My work has changed and it has even improved over the years I have been on Flickr so there are images I do not need to keep online anymore. There are many I can even improve with better editing techniques I have learned and then I can replace those old images with newly edited images. My bird album is one of the first albums I will reorganize, I do not want to just collect bird images. I want to try for better bird images. I admire all the wildlife photographers on Flickr. I am not as dedicated to capturing all the amazing images they take. This is a simple practice for me to get to know my camera better and to try to keep improving while learning more about the world around me. Happy Wing Wednesday!

 

ps. There was a branch right in front of the bird which gave it a faded patch on his body. My editing skills are not yet good enough to "fix that". lol

On the train back to Cardiff after walking from Bristol to Bath on the trackbed of the former Midland Railway route between those two cities, a superb sunset to end a day that had started very wet but which had improved through the day. This was taken through the double-glazed windows of a train doing around 80 mph, with few gaps in the trees lining the trackside. This was between Newport and Cardiff, somewhere around Marshfield.

Yeh! My A/C is fixed and at least we're more comfortable in our house. It's 93 degrees out this evening and so humid. My dogs are much more comfortable and so are we. The service people didn't think they would be able to make it here today but because I mentioned that my bulldogs were having a hard time dealing with the heat they made an exception and fitted us in. My heroes! Hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend.

After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.

 

CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.

...visions that definitely improve your day

Forests help purify drinking water

One large tree is a day's worth of oxygen for up to four people!

 

"A mighty wind blew night and day

It stole the oak tree's leaves away,

Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark

Until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground

While other trees fell all around."

Hard to improve on this combination. For MM, chocolate.

For improved visibility on level crossings, NS are fitting the class SNG EMUs with a yellow front. For now, the blue and yellow fronts can be seen together - in this case literally, as the leading unit has the blue front (mostly obscured by the overhead line portal and, of course, the other EMU) and the trailing one is yellow. The pair are on their way on a local service from Amsterdam Centraal to Amersfoort Vathorst. Soest, 05-09-2021.

Immediately after World War Two, Britain’s economic mantra was ‘Export or Die’ and it was the car industry that led that export drive; somewhat ironic considering that, in modern Britain, we import 10 times as many cars as we export.

 

One of the big export success stories was MG, whose T-series sports cars made a massive impact in the USA. The pre-war TA and TB and immediate post-war TC and TD were extremely popular with US servicemen stationed in the UK so, when they went home, they often took their cars with them. On the back of that, a fruitful export market opened up, upon which MG was quick to capitalise. Of the 29,900 TDs made, only 1,656 stayed in the UK with almost 24,000 of the export models going to the USA.

 

The TD was introduced in 1950 and, while it used the same wooden frame and separate chassis of the TC Midget, it employed the front steering and suspension set-up from the Y-type saloon. This made it a far more agile car to drive, while power came from the same 1,250cc XPAG engines as the previous model; not fast but surprisingly tractable and lively.

 

The T-type series had started with the TA of June 1936. This was not universally welcomed by MG enthusiasts as it was less sporty than previous Midgets, not least because it had an OHV MPJG engine which was seen as a retrograde step from the earlier overhead cam units.

 

The TB followed shortly before the outbreak of WW2 with a better engine (the XPAG unit, developed from the all-new Morris XPJM OHV engine) that was capable of considerable tuning, but then came the war and the TB became one of the shortest-lived MGs of all-time.

 

In 1945, the TB was dusted off, improved with a wider body, shackles for the spring mounts instead of sliding trunnions and relaunched as the TC. MG shifted 10,000 TCs, an impressive figure but one that was nearly tripled by the TDs made from late 1949. It became especially popular in the US market that was becoming so crucial to MG’s success. For one thing, the TD was the first T-type to be available in left-hand-drive while, for another, it had a slightly more spacious cockpit, plus greater comfort thanks to new independent front suspension.

 

The TD had been created essentially by mating an adapted Y-type chassis with a stretched TC body and an entirely new front end style. The new chassis was not only stiffer than those used on previous T-types, it also brought with it the Y-type’s sparkling new independent front suspension; a design that was to serve MG right up to the demise of the MGB in 1980. Combine this with a steering rack, instead of the earlier cars’ cam-driven steering box, and the handling was improved immeasurably.

 

The TD got smaller wheels, down from the 19-inch wires of the TC to 15-inch steel rims. This significant visual change made a big difference to how much more modern the antiquated body looked, an illusion aided by wings that were lower profile and more flowing as a result. It was a more art deco look; still very traditional, but a lot more streamlined.

 

The engine was the same 1250cc XPAG unit as used on the TC, with a few minor detail changes but the same 54bhp power output, later upped to 61bhp thanks to bigger carbs.

On a cold cold evening ... Arkon has what appears to be an allergy to fleas. He was at the vet a few weeks ago and we came home with a treatment. He has been a very itchy boy and mutilating himself whilst engaging in strange aggressive grooming and has had to wear a cone for far too long to stop him from this behaviour. His back is healed up, but the itching is slow to abate. So this evening we got steroids to help stop the itching. He has been slowly improving since the flea treatment. The steroids will hopefully clear up the itching very quickly.

This is a narrow passage in Spitalfields that’s the legacy of slum clearances in Victorian times. Built around the back of a triangular plot of land it was created in the 1840s-60s as the main Commerical Street was created to improve transport, and clear away slums.

Until this time, there had been a French Charity school on the site, but it was demolished to make way for the road, although oddly, this corner site now vacant was to remain empty until the 1870s when it was filled with small buildings, but later in the early 20th century most of the site was taken over by a large Tobacco factory.

Of course, being this part of town it’s also packed full of street art — or graffiti if you prefer.
