I took this photograph on the exit of Lodge Corner during the Guards Trophy GTSR Race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2008. It's Phil Bennett in his 1958 Lister Knobbly which has the 3,781cc version of the Jaguar XK6 engine. Brian Lister started producing sports cars in 1954 first with an MG engine and later with a Bristol engine, but he had the most success with the 1957 car which used the Jaguar D-type engine. The first version of this car was known at the time as a Lister-Jaguar, but after the 1959 car was given a smoother aerodynamic body designed by Frank Costin (and designed to use the Chevrolet Corvette powerplant) the more bulbous earlier car became known as the Lister Knobbly.

"The Church of St Mary and All Saints, Fotheringhay is a parish church in the Church of England in Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire. It is noted for containing a mausoleum to leading members of the Yorkist dynasty of the Wars of the Roses.
The work on the present church was begun by Edward III who also built a college as a cloister on the church's southern side. After completion in around 1430, a parish church of similar style was added to the western end of the collegiate church with work beginning in 1434. It is the parish church which still remains.
The large present church is named in honour of St Mary and All Saints, and has a distinctive tall tower dominating the local skyline. The church is Perpendicular in style and although only the nave, aisles and octagonal tower remain of the original building it is still in the best style of its period.
The church has been described by Simon Jenkins as
float[ing] on its hill above the River Nene, a galleon of Perpendicular on a sea of corn.
The college continued to 1547, when it was seized by the Crown, along with all remaining chantries and colleges. The chancel was pulled down immediately after the college was granted to John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland by King Edward VI. A grammar school was founded in its place which lasted until 1859.
Fotheringhay is a village and civil parish in Northamptonshire, England, six kilometres (3.7 mi) north-east of Oundle and around 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Peterborough. It is most noted for being the site of Fotheringhay (or Fotheringay) Castle which was razed in 1627. There is nothing left of the castle to be seen today other than the motte on which it was built that provides excellent views of the River Nene. The Nene Way long distance footpath runs through the village.
As the home of the great Yorkist line, the village was, for a considerable part of the 15th and 16th centuries, of national standing. The death of Richard III at Bosworth Field altered its history irrevocably. As the historian John Nicholls stated, "Fotheringhay has been distinguished beyond any other place in Britain, except the Capital, by the aggravated misfortunes of Royalty."
At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 123 people, reducing to 119 at the 2011 census." - info from Wikipedia.

Originally designed in 1899 for the Manchester and County Bank by Mills and Murgatroyd in Tudor style, it was later used for other purposes. The building stands on a corner site, and is in red brick with red sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with a canted corner, it is mainly in a single storey, and has fronts of three and five bays. On the corner is a Tudor arched doorway with an elaborately carved surround, above which is a panelled parapet and a shaped gable containing a plaque with the date.
This is a list of available options in which I will start a contest:
1. Expand the Multi Sharp universe (even though I own most of the characters), create a villain or hero who can be independent or part of a group but no more than 5 people. If the characters get my approval, then I'll put it in my stories. Characters have to be a little more realistic than usual, no boundaries on nationalities or etc.
2. Submit your version of mixing a villain with a hero, can be both from Marvel or DC, for example Bronze Tiger + Superman, Nova + Doctor Doom, or even Lex Luthor + Nightwing.
3. Cyberpunk/dystopia and fantasy combined, could be a set build or just plain figs. Can be with stories.
4. Mou lei tau, which is Cantonese for something nonsensical, ridiculous and makes completely no sense. It is often comical and involves slapstick humour. Write a story that could involve yourself or make up your own. For preparation, watch Stephen Chow's movies as a good source.
5. A sig-fig representing your future, e.g. where would you be and what's your job going to be like etc.
Vote for one only in the comments!!!

My original intent for this day was to chase 23M west with the NS 1069 (Virginian HU) on the point. However, by the time I had gotten to Harrisburg, 23M was already half an hour ahead of me. Upset and just looking to kill an hour or so, I decided to head a little further west to Port Royal.
In the back of my mind I knew that the 62V had 8102 leading, but wasn't expecting it to show. Last week I had gotten burned waiting for 62V to come east because it had gotten held up in Altoona due to track work around Antis. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I heard clear as day on the scanner, "62V Clear Mifflin". I couldn't believe it. And now I can proudly say that I can check this shot off my photography bucket list!

The elegant village of Semur, listed as Un des plus beaux villages de France (“One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France”), although I am not at all sure it deserves the title when compared to truly stunning villages such as Èze, Pérouges or Collonges-la-Rouge, is the capital of the small barony of Brionnais, at the extreme southwestern tip of the old duchy of Burgundy.
The Semur family of local barons would have gone basically unnoticed through History, had it not been for Hugues, born in 1024, who went on to become probably the most famous abbot of Cluny, having succeeded Odilon de Mercœur from 1049 until 1109. Builder of the so-called “Cluny III” abbey church, the largest ever in Christendom, he considerably expanded the Order of Cluny (which was part of the Benedictines) all over Europe during his 60-year abbacy.
One of the most powerful people (and one of the most learned minds) of his time, later canonized by the Church as saint Hugues (Hugh in English), he sent architects and builders from Cluny to his native small town of Semur-en-Brionnais to build this church dedicated to Saint Hilaire (Hillary in English). Hugues himself never saw the church being built, as its oldest parts (traditionally, the apse and apsidioles, the choir and transept, and the beginning of the nave) were erected during the years 1115-1130, but then construction was interrupted and did not resume until around 1170. The portals were finished and decorated during the 1180s, towards the end of the Romanesque age, at a point when many consider the Romanesque art was already “perverted” by mannerisms announcing the age of the Gothic.
Saint-Hilaire was turned into a college church in 1274 when Baron Jean de Semur and the bishop of Autun jointly incorporated a college of 13 canons to take care of the Opus Dei in the church. Damaged during the Hundred Years War (1364), and yet again during the Wars of Religion (1576), the church was listed as a Historic Landmark in 1862 and the stone vaulting which had been destroyed and replaced temporarily by a timber roof, was rebuilt.
Being the last Romanesque church ever built in the Brionnais, Saint-Hilaire skillfully incorporates tradition from the local art, and inputs from the most noble and powerful house of Cluny, which was then undoubtedly the dominant power in Western Christendom, above and beyond the Pope —in practice, if not in principle.
The other (northern) side of the western portal shows an architectural and decorative layout that is exactly symmetrical to that of the southern side.

The Grade I Listed Peveril Castle which is run by English Heritage, Castleton, in the Peak District, Derbyshire.
Peveril Castle stands sentinel on a limestone outcrop over the west end of Hope Valley, in the midst of an ancient landscape. On the north side of the valley is Mam Tor, a Bronze Age hill fort, and 2 miles (3.2 km) to the east at Brough and Shatton is the Roman fort of Navio. The valley formed a natural line of communication and had extra importance due to valuable mineral resources in the area, particularly lead.
Peveril Castle was the caput of the Honour of Peverel, and was founded some time between the Norman Conquest of 1066 and its first recorded mention in the Domesday Survey of 1086, by William Peveril, who held lands in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as a tenant-in-chief of the king. Nearby Castleton benefited from the presence of the castle, which acted as the caput of the feudal barony of "Peak". The town became the economic centre of the barony. The castle provides views across the Hope Valley and Cave Dale.
William Peveril the Younger inherited his father's estates, which in 1155 were confiscated by King Henry II. While in royal possession, Henry visited the castle in 1157, 1158, and 1164, the first time hosting King Malcolm IV of Scotland. During the Revolt of 1173–1174, the castle's garrison was increased from a porter and two watchmen to a force led by 20 knights shared with the castles of Bolsover and Nottingham. The Earls of Derby had a claim to the Peveril family's estates through marriage, and in 1199 William de Ferrers, the fourth earl, paid 2,000 marks for the Peak lordship although the castle remained under royal control. The closest Peveril Castle came to seeing battle was in 1216 when King John gave the castle to William de Ferrers, but the castellan refused to relinquish control. Although they were both John's supporters, the king authorised the earl to use force to evict the castellan, who eventually capitulated, although there is no evidence that the castle was assaulted.
In 1223 the castle returned to the Crown. In the 13th century there were periods of building work at the castle, and by 1300 its final form had been established. Toward the end of the 14th century, the barony was granted to John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Having little use for the castle, he ordered some of its material to be stripped out for re-use, marking the beginning of its decline. From the time of John of Gaunt to the present day, the castle has been owned and administered by the Duchy of Lancaster. Peveril Castle became less important administratively and by 1609 it was "very ruinous and serveth for no use". In the 19th century, Sir Walter Scott featured the castle in his novel Peveril of the Peak.
