So I solo'd Looper Creek Canyon.
I borrowed a camera for the occasion!

It is by far one of the neatest experiences I have had thusfar on Vancouver Island!
A fence made of twisted wire loops, of the sort that was more common when I was a child.

The ad is from a Panasonic sales brochure. The Toot-A-Loop was available in the 4 colors shown in the United States. I've seen claims that the radio was produced in other colors for, but I'll rely on the Panasonic brochure for the Toot-A-Loop colors as well as those for the Panapet radios sold in the United States. I've also seen two-tone Panapets and Toot-A-Loops listed on e-Bay. These are probably a combination of different colored radios as the parts are easily switched.
The earliest newspaper advertising for the Panasonic Toot-A-Loop radio in the United States that I could find dates to 1972.

While walking from one Open House Chicago site to the next I came across this architectural scene in the north Loop.
Work continued through Saturday night and, as seen here on Sunday morning, is progressing in the area at and south of Tower 12 (Wabash/Van Buren junction). Ties and tracks are being laid where just 24 hours before the 'L' structure was bare. After a weekend of continuous work to renew track, trains from the South Side will resume service over these tracks, bringing thousands of people to and from downtown Monday.

"The only thing this place has going for it is the location. Do not be tempted to just walk right in, even though it's a convenient stop on your sightseeing tour. I've had better food at WAFFLE HOUSE.
We stopped in for breakfast. It was among the worst meals I've ever had. The eggs in my cheese omelet were classically overcooked, which wasn't so bad, but the omelet was filled with some food-service version knockoff of Kraft cheese slices. Hours later, I can't get the taste of it out of my mouth. The hash browns were more like frozen, reheated potato mush that's been warmed over. The greek cofee ($3.50) was decent, but served in a tiny, tiny cup that was half-sludge. My partner's two eggs were fried into rubbery oblivion.
28 crazy overpriced bucks for the worst breakfast of my life, counting the meals I've had on airplanes and in school cafeterias. Our waiter was nice, but had a strange air about him that, in retrospect, we can probably best categorize as "pity."

Went down to the loop to take some pictures and eat some BBQ and discovered the Loop Trolley is actually running. This shot of it is kinda blurry because I'm not nearly as good with the D700 as I am with my 5D3.
We were heading to Bourton-on-the-Water, so didn't expect a 2 and a half hour stay at Evesham Country Park!
There is a light railway at Evesham Country Park - the Evesham Vale Light Railway.
The Evesham Vale Light Railway operates in Evesham Country Park in Worcestershire, England, where it opened in August 2002. Constructed at 15 in (381 mm) gauge, the line runs for over a mile through the park, including a lengthy section through the fruit orchards. Passengers are conveyed throughout the year, although operations tend to be limited to weekends during school term time, becoming a daily service during school holidays.
Trains run from Twyford Station, opposite the country park's main Car Park. The run takes around 10–15 minutes, through the Apple Orchard and around the Balloon Loop to Evesham Vale Station. Here, there is a few minutes break. Passengers can either break their journey here and enjoy a picnic or country walk (returning on a later train), or simply get out for a look at the locomotive. The EVLR staff are always on hand to answer questions. The train then carries on, out of the Balloon Loop, upgrade towards Twyford Station. The locomotive is then turned and run round ready for the next departure.

LOOP:
15 giovani illustratori italiani.
3 installazioni audiovisive
12 – 21 maggio 2009
Assab-one, Milano
Progetto a cura di Arianna Vairo e Martina Merlini
La rassegna vede coinvolti 15 illustratori, che rappresentano diverse linee di ricerca all’interno della scena italiana. Ognuno di loro si è confrontato col tema della ripetizione, realizzando la propria idea di “loop” in una serigrafia quadrata.
LOOP nasce come progetto itinerante, assumendo di volta in volta caratteristiche differenti, a seconda della natura del luogo.
La prima mostra sarà ospitata da Assab One ( www.assab-one.org ) dal 12 al 21 maggio 2009.
La seconda a Barcellona, in collaborazione con il festival omonimo di video-arte, dal 21 al 31 maggio 2009.
Un’ ulteriore esposizione avverrà a Roma presso Temporary Love Shop (www.temporarylove.net ) dal 28 maggio.
La parola loop indica la ripetizione all’infinito di un medesimo modulo, come ad esempio accade nella campionatura della musica elettronica dove ogni singolo campione, solo se estrapolato per essere aggregato ad altri campioni, interrompe il suo ciclo diventando elemento di un insieme composito.
Il progetto, che nasce all’ insegna del confronto, invita gli artisti coinvolti a rielaborare in modo personale il concetto della ripetizione, intesa come routine del quotidiano. Le opere, risultato della ricerca, forniscono informazioni visive su cosa essa rappresenti per ognuno di loro.
Il tema del loop, liberamente interpretato ha dato luogo ad un insieme in cui ciascuna tavola mantiene la propria personalità, ma contribuisce nel contempo alla costruzione di un percorso collettivo.
Il progetto si pone come obbiettivo l’analisi delle manie individuali e collettive, che divenendo oggetti di condivisione, possono uscire dallo stato di inerzia in cui sono bloccate, per andare a far parte di un contesto più ampio.
Ciascuna tavola verrà stampata in formato quadrato (48x48), a due colori, dallo studio Le Raclet di Milano ( www.leraclet.com ), per mezzo della tecnica serigrafica, in un’ edizione limitata di 30 esemplari.
La scelta di impiegare un metodo non digitale, che permette di ottenere un elevato numero di copie dalla medesima matrice, rimanda simbolicamente all’accezione positiva della ripetizione. Ogni stampa, realizzata manualmente, riporta quelle imperfezioni e caratteristiche che mantengono la sua unicità: nella serigrafia infatti la matrice non si conserva integralmente poichè l’utilizzo la porta ad uno stato di consunzione; proseguendo nella stampa, il disegno originale muta fino a trasformarsi in una macchia di inchiostro.
La trasformazione a cui la forma è sottoposta, può essere paragonabile a ciò che accade in ambito umano: ciò che non è capace di trasformarsi è destinato nella sua reiterazione ad estinguersi.
Il tema del loop sarà inoltre sviluppato attraverso tre installazioni audio visive che ne completeranno il senso mediante altri linguaggi.

Chicago: Alley capital of the world
Chicago, it turns out, has the largest network of alleys in the nation and, almost certainly, in the world. We learned this after calls to dozens of U.S. cities showed none with anywhere near Chicago's 1,900 miles. No single authority keeps comprehensive international statistics about alleys, but the scholars, urban planners and other experts we consulted knew of no other world city anywhere with as many. This chart compares four U.S. cities with extensive alley networks. (Not included are New York, which has relatively few alleys, and Los Angeles, which didn't provide a map of its 800 miles of alleys.) The distinctive alley patterns reflect the development trends in each city.
Chicago's original city plan in 1830 included alleys through every block, a pattern that continues. Today, well over 90 percent of the city's blocks are bisected by alleys.
"Let There Be Light," a three-panel stained-window by Abraham Rattner, has 19 different symbols.
Organized in 1929, the Chicago Loop Synagogue, a Traditional Orthodox congregation, moved into its present quarters at 16 S. Clark St. in 1957. It was designed by the firm of Loebl, Schlossman & Bennett.

Dijkgraafplein 20/06/2012 11h45
Combino tram 2059 about to depart from Dijkgraafplein in Osdorp to Centraal Station on route 17.
The terminus loop of tramline 17 dates back to the year 1962. The second long extension in Amsterdam-West after World War II apart from the extension to Slotermeer (line 13 at that time). This extension to Dijkgraafsplein was inaugurated on 09/09/1962.
From 17/10/1971 line 1 took over the route to Osdorp via Overtoom and Leidseplein and was the first sneltramlijn (urban light rail) of Amsterdam with a high frequency service.
With the opening of the new route through Osdorp and the newly built area De Aker in the late 1990's line 1 moved to a new terminus at De Aker and line 17 got back to Dijkgraafplein again as per 08/12/2001.
