Lower Table Rocks is one of the most iconic landscape features in the Rogue Valley. Lower Table Rocks has a great hiking loop for people of any age, and the hike to the top of Table Rocks is a great workout with rewarding views.
These flat-topped buttes rise approximately 800 feet above the north bank of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. Upper and Lower refer to their positions relative to each other along the Rogue River; Lower Table Rock is located downstream, or lower on the river, from Upper Table Rock.
The Table Rocks were designated in 1984 as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) to protect special plants and animal species, unique geologic and scenic values, and education opportunities. The remarkable diversity of the Table Rocks includes a spectacular spring wildflower display of over 75 species, including the dwarf wooly meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. pumila), which grows nowhere else on Earth but on the top of the Table Rocks. Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), federally listed as threatened, inhabit the seasonally formed vernal pools found on the tops of both rocks.
The 4,864-acre Table Rocks Management Area is cooperatively owned and administered by the Medford District Bureau of Land Management (2,105 acres) and The Nature Conservancy (2,759 acres). Memorandums of Understanding signed in 2011 and 2012 with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians allow for coordinating resources to protect the Table Rocks for present and future generations. A cooperative management plan for the area was completed in 2013.

... back on to its bogies in Chinnor yard. The C&PRR's class 31, which carries the number 97 205 but which would have been more properly known as D5581 and then 31 163, has had a traction motor changed. Doing the switch entailed taking the locomotive off its bogies with this massive lifting kit. In this shot you can see the two guys operating the hydraulic rams controlling the movement on each side of the loco.
When the body of the loco was sitting where it should be my driver and I hauled the 31 on to the pit (where the the bogies and body would be secured and the electrical connections restored) using class 08 no. D3018 'Haversham'.

Landmark KLASS piece i found in a fenced off parking lot in NYC--there was a truck parked right in front of this, hence the shitty angle
This is down stream on the Zig Zag river. Cliff Zener and I were looking for a camera he lost 1&1/2 years ago.....
We didn't find it.
Southwest Road Trip!
Lower Antelope Canyon on the Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona.
Antelope Canyon or "The Spiral" is a slot canyon formed by wind and water. About 40 feet down and in some areas less than a couple feet wide.

North-eastern window of the apse, an early work by Sir Ninian Comper, 1903.
St James's church in the Black Country settlement of Lower Gornal began life in the early 19th century, the oldest parts being the nave and west tower which were built in 1817 by architect Thomas Lee. There was further modification done later in the century culminating in the rebuilding of the chancel in 1889 which gave us the polygonal apse we see today. The churchyard is a haven of peace filled with trees that surround and shelter the church from the surburban environment around it.
The interior betrays the different phases of construction with its two halves, the pre-Victorian nave being quite light, open and spacious whilst possessing something of a pre-ecclesiological austerity in its detail. The later chancel beyond is a darker, more mysterious space, lit by the four windows of the apse (a fifth, actually the central east window, is completely concealed by the tall wooden reredos).
There is some notable glass in the church, one of the apse windows being an early work by Sir Ninian Comper, whilst the easternmost windows on each side of the nave contain charming late Arts & Crafts glass by Florence Camm. The west window under the tower (in the area currently used as the baptistry) also has a fine window in a more contemporary spirit by Hardman's, however the latest windows here are the two westernmost windows of the apse which are my own work (that on the north side was installed in March 2021, whilst work is ongoing on the second window with a view to installing it in the near future).
Lower Gornal church is not usually open outside of services, but they have bravely continued to hold them on Thursdays and Sundays throughout much of the current crisis

The origional building is mentioned as far back as 1280, it was then known as Upper Shibden Hall,(the name now used by the derelict mansion at Catherine Slack). The building was rebuilt or encased in stone in 1626 and the letters JSF, and that year were about the fireplace. There is a large fireplace in the right hand half, but no inscription survives, if it is the same fireplace of course. Sir Thomas Browne is supposed to have resided here, and wrote his book 'Religio Medici' while doing so. In the 1890's it was said that the building was pulled down and replaced with two new cottages. However, it is my opinion that a new front was put onto the building (though perhaps parts were demolished).
This is a similar shot to one taken by Tim Green aka Atoach, use the tag 'Lower Shibden Hall', it won't take much finding because only six photos come up!
Below the main platform for Bay Station is an abandoned platform, which was used for only six months in 1966 when the TTC experimentally ran trains whose routes included portions of both the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth lines. The platform was in service from February to September 1966 as part of an ‘interlining’ experiment, in which the TTC ran trains along three routes, with one matching the subsequent Bloor-Danforth line, and the other two combining parts of the Bloor-Danforth line with the Yonge-University line. The experiment was deemed a failure, largely because delays anywhere quickly cascaded to affect the entire system.
Interlining was discontinued because of the confusion and delays, although it has been argued that it was politically motivated and that the experiment was sabotaged by the TTC, perhaps even designed to fail from the start. While St. George and Bloor-Yonge Stations remained operating upper and lower platforms for the two crossing subway lines, Bay Station would be served by only the Bloor-Danforth line. Lower Bay was closed to the public.
Lower Bay is now used to train new operators, to move trains between the two current lines, for platform-surface experiments, and to allow filming in the subway without disrupting public service. The station has been modified several times to make it look like a "common" North American subway station, and the TTC once had an elaborate pre-built set for converting it to a New York subway station. The set was used for the filming of the movie Don't Say a Word. Other notable movies shot at Lower Bay include Johnny Mnemonic, Bulletproof Monk and Mimic.
The station itself is not open to public access. Since its closure, entrance to the station has been bricked off, and the only access is through a pair of fire doors on Upper Bay's platform. The platform is considered a "Holy Grail" for Urban Exploration; however, the TTC has since installed security cameras on the platform.

The TTC opened Lower Bay to the public for Doors Open Toronto on May 26, 2007. According to TTC Chair Adam Giambrone's introduction leaflet, this event was the first time since 1966 that the station's platform was open to the public. There were large line-ups, as a limited number of people were allowed on the platform at any one time. Two trains were parked on the tracks, a video screen displayed movies or commercials shot in Bay Lower, and movie posters were hung around the platform. The station was opened again for the event on May 24, 2008, September 29, 2010, and will be open to the public as part of a Nuit Blanche on October 2, 2010.
