This is the Lower Yosemite Falls - we 'hiked' up to it (everything is a 'trail' or a 'hike' here, when ost of the time it's just a stroll along the path). We did have to scrable over some slippery rocks, but it was worth it when we got here.
These falls are not so impressive in the summer - they're a bit dried up.
just cracked it open, inspecting the damage. Actually didn't look that bad, I guess I was expecting something more dramatic. At this point I had never seen inside an engine in a really hands on way, so this was pretty sweet. You can see the tops of the pistons are black...wanted to clean them but wasn't sure how to do so without contaminating the engine with debris. I think getting a shop vac hooked up with a stiff brush would have done the trick.
Getting to this point was very difficult for me. To remove the upper head the cams have to be aligned, and then held as the springs from the valves release tension as the upper head is unbolted and lifted off. But, I was able to do it by myself.

A detail of the Barclay-Vesey Building, considered the first Art Deco skyscraper. It was built between 1923 and 1927 and designed by Ralph Walker of the firm of McKenzie, Voorhees & Gmelin. Nov. 2, 2015
This is where the Batmobile scenes take place in The Dark Night and Batman Begins. It's also a scary drive.
Zapata Falls area near the The Great Sand Dunes. Droves of people prevented us from getting to the actual falls. Thats OK, because there was a lot of beuty all around.

This neighborhood is a treasure box of amazing architectural statements; here and Chicago were truly the wombs of the skyscraper. And it's incredible that all this stands on a horizontal framework of colonial streets intended for horse and wood framed houses.

Quinton has grown considerably in recent years, but Lower Quinton still retains a palpable atmosphere of the past. Friday Street is lined with lined with half-timbered and Georgian houses and the church of St Swithin is one of the most interesting in the area, with the brooding mass of Meon hill beyond, infamous for the unsolved murder of Charles Walton in 1945 with its rumours of witchcraft. An elegant church with north and south aisles and west tower with a tall C15 spire visible for miles around. The south aisle is c 1100 and is thought to have been cut through the Saxon wall of an earlier church, while the north aisle shows the transition from round to pointed arches and is c 1170. The chancel is Early English and above the chancel arch the arms of Elizabeth I are still visible. A clerestory was added in the C15 and the nave has a late C16 oak roof. The aisles end in chapels to Our Lady and St Anne built in the C13 and C14. A Norman font stands by the north door. There are five Armorial windows designed by Geoffrey Webb between 1929-32. Webb asked local school children to suggest subjects to decorate the blank panes. At the end of the Transitional north aisle the Lady Chapel has an east window which incorporates a C14 niche which houses a modern Virgin and Child. Fragments of the original glass fill the tracery and Webb has designed panels depicting the Virgin's Life. The Chancel c 1255, was restored in 1862, when a large window by F. Preedy was inserted in the blank east wall. The south aisle has a chapel dedicated to St Anne which has a double piscina and a triple sedilla, 1340. The jewel of this chapel is an Altar tomb to Joanna, Lady Clopton c 1430 who entered a religious order after the death of her husband. The brass shows her wearing a wimple and a widows barbe. She originally lay next to her husband Sir William, but they were separated in 1749 and his effigy is now lies between the south aisle and the nave. Sir William is depicted in full armour, though he is thought to have been the victim of Parliamentary troops, who damaged the sculpture.
There are two points where you have to be lowered from the platform to the ground level. One of these is at the end, the other is at an intermediate point. It's probably better to look up rather than down.
Located in a separate section of the park this was a really easy trail down to the largest falls in the park. It is a pretty cool place. The falls empty into a tranquil pool before spilling over a set of rocks and on down some more. Would be an awesome swimming area in the summer and it probably is!
