Histroy of Toweron
The Kingdom of Toweron is a land characterized by its numerous tall towers that drew in powers of Evocation magic using spirit stones. These stones were strategically placed at the top of each tower, suggesting a sophisticated understanding of magic and architecture.
King Whiteheart was a powerful and wise king who had the ring of summoning. He ruled the power of the 12 sky high towers where his monks used powerful evocation magic with the powerful spirit stones. The cosmos could be seen above the towers in the sky. King Whiteheart could summon spirits from beyond the realm and open portals for others to cross to each of the 12 kingdoms and queendom.
Stroy of latex queen Shimmerah
The history of the Kingdom of Toweron takes a significant turn with the arrival of the latex queen Shimmerah at the age of 26. Her visit to Toweron was marked by a series of events that would alter the kingdom's fate. King Whiteheart the great, captivated by Shimmerah's extreme beauty, fell deeply in love with her. This infatuation led him to bow down low and offer her his crown.
Shimmerah's response to King Whiteheart's gesture was one of disdain and amusement. She laughed at his proposal, instructing her knights to take him as a slave. She remarked that he was lower than a dog and akin to dirt under her boots. This marked the beginning of her dominance over the kingdom.
Following her conquest of King Whiteheart and the kingdom, Shimmerah set her sights on the tower of the deity Starsun, who was revered as the god of the cosmos and gateways. The tower, like others in Toweron, was a site of significant spiritual and magical power, housing spirit stones that amplified Evocation magic.
Shimmerah and her men successfully infiltrated the tower of Starsun, where they enslaved all the monks who were in worship. In a bold move, Shimmerah declared that if the monks wished to worship someone, they should worship her. This act not only solidified her control over the religious and spiritual aspects of the kingdom but also allowed her to confiscate all the spirit stones.
Toweron is now fully under Shimmerah's power and rule and has been renamed to the Queendom of Toweron. Shimmerah, before known as a very powerful sorceress known as the shiny sorcereress due to her love of sexy shiny latex, now has the power to open portals to anywhere she wants, and if she knows of other worlds, she could find them and go to them. The Kingdom of Toweron, under the rule of Shimmerah, has become the Queendom of Toweron, with Shimmerah holding absolute power and control over the land and its people
When King Whiteheart ruled the kingdom of Toweron to make safe crossing from kingdom to queendom he like the kings and queens before him had portals powers by the 12 Sky towers of his land. But when Shimmerah took all the spirit stones all the portals closed. She now had full power over all Evocation magic and all the gateways where hers to open and close when and how ever she wanted. It had been her plan her plan for many years to rule all the world, but Shimmerah was so greedy that all the world of Dommalex may not be enough as she want to had ful controll and power over all. She not knew about other worlds, but she thinking if there is more out there that she wants them worlds to, and with the spirit stones may give her the power to do so.

Stagecoach Gas Bus
In an attempt to save Polar Bears, keep bunnies fluffier, as well as being an all round good egg, Stagecoach has bought some gas powered buses. The fuel is stored in compressed tanks on the roof hidden behind those modesty screens. The illusion is further advanced by the clear sky motif with friendly white clouds. The whole thing is topped off with terrible puns. There are currently 40 gas buses in the Sunderland fleet.
Bus Details 28017
Scania ADL Enviro 300 single deck bus. The K27OUB chassis is fitted with a Scania OG9 GO4 9.3 litre five cylinder gas engine, developing 270bhp. The Alexander Dennis Limited body offers a low floor stepless entrance leading to a gently sloping interior. There are two steps leading to the rear gangway with a further step to the 5-gang back seats. This arrangement is to avoid clumsy wheel arch and transmission bulges in the floor.
Back at the depot, gas is extracted from the mains then compressed to 300 bar in storage tanks ready for injection to the vehicles. The buses are charged to 200 bar; complete refuelling taking about five minutes.

Let's take a look at the back of the bus, and see where you could have been going had you not missed it!

Perhaps it depends entirely on the user: Do you want aerial photographs so you can experience the fun of spotting your own place on Earth from a Satellite? Does the photograph provide affirmation that your patch is as photogenic or democratically important as the next person’s?
If you actually use electronic maps as a tool for locative information, distance between places, as a navigation device like a paper map, is the photographic so helpful? Would another form be of more use?

Visiting a new city and discovering unknown urban spaces, old and new buildings yields unexpected pleasures and is always exciting. London is hardly a new city for me, however its vast scale and continuous changes can provide not dissimilar pleasures compared with the exploration of a city for the first time. On a recent trip to see the huge regeneration in and around Kings Cross, I took full advantage of an early summer sunny afternoon and among one of the rewards was this group of buildings on and off Camely Street barely few minutes walk from King Cross Station and British Library.
The buildings are hardly text book samples of architecture but are decent examples of couple of slices of late 19th Century and mid 20th Century architecture. The nicest thing to note is that these represent the best, the period of construction could offer to the architects/designers, no doubt with usual constraints, unashamedly part and parcel of that time, built well and simply. The continued sensible maintenance and use not only provided very serviceable practical buildings but a living documentary on continuity of history of everyday architectural journey which will remain there for any one with environmental sensibilities to enjoy for a long time to come.
This is the elevation which greets you at the junction of Granary Road on right. The back of this building facing the green space at the back (2 of 4), I assume was built by different architect at a different time.
