Looking north west down the nave through the c1100 round arched south arcade to the c1170 pointed arch north arcade in the north west corner are surviving Jacobean pews, the rest were made in the 1920s to match. In 15c the nave was heightened with clerestory windows and new oak roof which still survives. - Church St Swithin, Lower Quinton Warwickshire,
Summer afternoon view of the Owyhee River in the Owyhee River Below the Dam ACEC, July 31, 2018, by Greg Shine, BLM.
A majestic and overlooked area on the primary road to Lake Owyhee State Park, the Lower Owyhee Canyon area includes the Owyhee River Below the Dam Area of Critical Environmental Concern -- 11,239 acres of public land in and around the Owyhee River canyon just north of the Owyhee Dam.
This area features the controlled-flowing Owyhee River with its narrow canyon bottom and picturesque canyon slopes and walls. Paralleling the river, a two-lane asphalt county road bisects the ACEC and leads visitors to popular Lake Owyhee State Park and the 53-mile-long Owyhee Reservoir.
Recreational opportunities abound here, and include high-quality scenery, driving and walking or hiking for pleasure, varied wildlife and historic resource viewing, photography, camping, hunting, fishing, and water play at the developed day-use Snively Hot Springs Recreation Site. The Lower Owyhee Canyon Watchable Wildlife Area provides convenient tables for picnicking and a vault toilet, in addition to opportunities to view animals that frequent the area.
ACECs are parcels of public land that require special management attention to protect special features or values. Home to diverse canyon landscape elements, this ACEC hosts a special status plant species (Mulford’s milkvetch) and a rare black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa) gallery in a riverine system. Diverse habitat types here also support a large number of wildlife species and an important migratory corridor for neotropical birds from Mexico, Central America and South America.
Controlled releases from Owyhee Dam have variable effects on the riparian ecosystem along the river corridor. Based on evaluations of the river corridor, segments of the river within the ACEC, with adjacent BLM-administered land, have been determined eligible and suitable for possible inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System.

"Into the Blue", 2008 by Fujiwara Takahiro displayed in the middle of a big mall during Nuit Blanche. It looks better in photos than in real life!
Some older tenement-like buildings stand immediately to the north of the Williamsburg Bridge's Manhattan approach.

Lots of folks out enjoying Lower McKinney Falls at McKinney Falls State Park in Austin last night. I'm guessing some of these folks might have been at Upper McKinney Falls, as we thought of doing, but we found out access to the upper falls area is currently closed when we drove through the park. We weren't sure if the access to upper falls was closed due to recent flood damage or something else. You could tell how high the flood waters had gotten in recent floods by all of the debris high up along the banks of Onion Creek. Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)
... 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'.
Looking for feedback on how and/ or if I can improve these pictures. 3 exposure HDR edited in Lightroom with a bit of dodging and burning for added detail. Your input is appreciated.

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.

The now trendy neighbourhood of Manhattan's Lower East Side is a mix of old tenement buildings and modern towers. Restaurants, bars and galleries abound in this once working class district.
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.
