Tucked into the northwest corner of Illinois is the City of Galena, a small town known for its well-preserved 19th-century buildings, shopping, dining, entertainment, and an abundance of historic houses and mansions that are now bed and breakfasts. Galena also was the home of Ulysses S. Grant when he was elected the 18th President of the United States in 1868.
On the corner at 201 S. Main St. is the Schmohl Building, an Italian style two-part commercial block built in 1887. Next to it is another Italianate style commercial building whose name has been lost to history that was built in 1848. Nearly every building in this southerly view of the west side of the 200 block of S. Main St. is a contributing property in the Galena Historic District, which encompasses a remarkable 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County. This is the un-glaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.

Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland.
Konstanz es una ciudad alemana del estado federado de Baden-Wurtemberg ubicada en la orilla sur del lago de Constanza (Bodensee en alemán) y fronteriza con Suiza. Es la ciudad más grande y de mayor densidad poblacional de este gran lago, el más extenso de Alemania, alimentado por el río Rin y que comparte con dos países más: Suiza y Austria. La ciudad de Constanza forma un solo casco urbano real junto con la localidad suiza de Kreuzlingen, sobrepasando entre ambas los 100.000 habitantes.
Hay un puente que divide la ciudad en dos zonas, bajo el cual el Rin alimenta el lago de Constanza.
A pesar de ser una ciudad pequeña, su climatología la convierte en destino turístico e incrementa notablemente sus habitantes estacionales.
El casco antiguo y, por lo tanto, lugar de máximo interés de la ciudad se encuentra en la orilla sur del Rin, donde sólo existe esta porción de tierra alemana rodeada por territorio suizo. Desde el mismo puente sobre el Rin (Rheinbrücke) que accede al casco antiguo desde el norte de la ciudad, se observan dos de los monumentos más característicos de la ciudad: las torres de Pulverturm y Rheintorturm, de origen medieval.
Más hacia el centro de la ciudad antigua destacan las plazas más importantes, la Markstätte y la Münsterplatz, donde, como indica su nombre, se halla la catedral de Nuestra Señora. Dentro de la misma es destacable la cripta románica primigenia, construida entre los años 1052 y 1089 y situada bajo el altar actual. En los meses de verano, la torre de 76 metros del edificio está abierta al público y permite unas espléndidas vistas del lago. Como cabe esperar en todo edificio europeo de estas características, el edificio románico original tiene importantes elementos y modificaciones góticas y barrocas posteriores.
También en la Münsterplatz se encuentran los restos de una fortaleza romana, los cuales son perfectamente visibles por medio de una pirámide acristalada en el suelo de la plaza, a los pies mismos de la catedral.
La puerta "Schnetztor" desde el interior de la muralla de Constanza.
Numerosas calles del centro histórico de la ciudad, como la Wessenbergstrasse o la Rosgartenstrasse, poseen gran cantidad de edificios medievales con bonitos balcones y pinturas en las que se puede leer la fecha de su construcción, nombre o gremio. Muchas de ellas son anteriores al siglo XV y entre las posteriores destacan también interesantes edificios barrocos.
La Wessenbergstrasse, una de las arterias principales del casco antiguo de la ciudad, desemboca en la Hussenstrasse y esta a su vez en la torre Schnetztor, puerta principal de la muralla antigua de la ciudad, parte de la cual todavía se conserva, y salida directa hacia la ciudad de Kreuzlingen, ya en Suiza, pero completamente integrada con Constanza, con la que forma un mismo núcleo urbano.
Konstanz is a German city in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg located on the southern shore of Lake Constance (Bodensee in German) and bordering Switzerland. It is the largest and most densely populated city of this great lake, the largest in Germany, fed by the Rhine River and shared with two other countries: Switzerland and Austria. The city of Constanza forms a single real urban area together with the Swiss town of Kreuzlingen, surpassing both 100,000 inhabitants.
There is a bridge that divides the city into two zones, under which the Rhine feeds Lake Constance.
In spite of being a small city, its climatology turns it into a tourist destination and it increases remarkably its seasonal inhabitants.
The old town and, therefore, place of maximum interest of the city is on the southern bank of the Rhine, where only this portion of German land surrounded by Swiss territory exists. From the same bridge over the Rhine (Rheinbrücke) that accesses the old town from the north of the city, there are two of the most characteristic monuments of the city: the Pulverturm and Rheintorturm towers, of medieval origin.
More towards the center of the old city, the most important squares stand out, the Markstätte and the Münsterplatz, where, as its name indicates, there is the Cathedral of Our Lady. Inside it is remarkable the original Romanesque crypt, built between 1052 and 1089 and located under the current altar. In the summer months, the 76-meter tower of the building is open to the public and allows a splendid view of the lake. As expected in any European building of these characteristics, the original Romanesque building has important elements and subsequent Gothic and Baroque modifications.
Also on the Münsterplatz are the remains of a Roman fortress, which are perfectly visible by means of a glass pyramid on the floor of the square, at the very foot of the cathedral.
The "Schnetztor" door from inside the wall of Constance.
Numerous streets in the historic center of the city, such as the Wessenbergstrasse or the Rosgartenstrasse, have a large number of medieval buildings with beautiful balconies and paintings in which you can read the date of its construction, name or guild. Many of them date from before the 15th century and interesting baroque buildings also stand out among the later ones.
The Wessenbergstrasse, one of the main arteries of the old part of the city, flows into the Hussenstrasse and this in turn into the Schnetztor tower, the main gate of the old city wall, part of which is still preserved, and direct exit towards the city of Kreuzlingen, already in Switzerland, but completely integrated with Constance, with which it forms the same urban nucleus.

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter of World War II, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built,[3] all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities in Buffalo, New York.
P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps gave the plane, and after June 1941, the USAAF adopted the name for all models, making it the official name in the U.S. for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the original P-40, P-40B, and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.
P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941.[4][5] No. 112 Squadron Royal Air Force, was among the first to operate Tomahawks in North Africa and the unit was the first Allied military aviation unit to feature the "shark mouth" logo,[6][7] copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters.[6] [N 1]
The P-40's lack of a two-speed supercharger made it inferior to Luftwaffe fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in high-altitude combat and it was rarely used in operations in Northwest Europe. However, between 1941 and 1944, the P-40 played a critical role with Allied air forces in three major theaters: North Africa, the Southwest Pacific, and China. It also had a significant role in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Alaska and Italy. The P-40's performance at high altitudes was not as important in those theaters, where it served as an air superiority fighter, bomber escort and fighter-bomber. Although it gained a postwar reputation as a mediocre design, suitable only for close air support, more recent research including scrutiny of the records of individual Allied squadrons indicates that this was not the case: the P-40 performed surprisingly well as an air superiority fighter, at times suffering severe losses, but also inflicting a very heavy toll on enemy aircraft.[9] Based on war-time victory claims, over 200 Allied fighter pilots – from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, the US and the Soviet Union – became aces flying the P-40. These included at least 20 double aces,[10] mostly over North Africa, China, Burma and India, the South West Pacific and Eastern Europe. The P-40 offered the additional advantages of low cost and durability, which kept it in production as a ground-attack aircraft long after it was obsolescent as a fighter.
The Trans Am was a specialty package for the Firebird, typically upgrading handling, suspension, and horsepower, as well as minor appearance modifications such as exclusive hoods, spoilers, fog lights and wheels. In using the name Trans Am, a registered trademark, GM agreed to pay $5 per car sold to the SCCA. Four distinct generations were produced between 1969 and 2002. These cars were built on the F-body platform, which was also shared by the Chevrolet Camaro. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Firebird#Firebird_Trans_Am]
Marion is a city in McDowell County, North Carolina, United States. It is the county seat of McDowell County.

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

31.03.2021. - Pácsony
The first modification of the current timetable will take effect from 11th April. It brings a lot of changes, especially in West Hungary.
The four pairs of semi-fast trains between Szombathely and Pécs will be replaced by a new brand, called Pannónia InterRegio. These IR trains will drive every second hour between the two cities, making way more connections then nowadays.
The sad thing in this new system is that these trains will be operating with Desiro DMU's.
It means, that the classical loc and wagon compiled trains will disappear from this iconic railway line.
On the picture the train 8904 is leaving Pácsony station, hauled by the repainted M41 2308.
Modification of a photo my sister Grace took. With her permission I'm posting it on my site with some changes. The wooden structure is called the needle and is made of wood and is used as a nautical marker. I did lighten the picture up and brought out the color. Also added the boat because in my opinion this picture needed one even though the scene was fine without it.
I was actually planning on attaching this to an M4, but it turned out to be too short.
Inspired by someone over on the BAF, still trying to find who though.

The Colosseum or Coliseum , also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
St. Vitus Church in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic, is an important late-Gothic monument from 1407–1438, with later modifications. In 1995 it was declared a National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic.
The building is a three naval hall with a long presbytery with a pentagonal ending, a tower on the axis of the western facade, a rectangular sacristy, resurrection chapels and St. John of Nepomuk, and an entrance hall with an entrance portal on the north side.
In the Milevian net vault ( named after a special type of vault in the St. Giles church in Milevsko) of the presbytery, the ribs are supported by the cylindrical profile supports. The ribs are terminated at the lower edge of the windows by pyramidal brackets. In the ending behind the altar is a simple saddle portal.
The entrance to the northern sacristy is also through the saddle portal. The extensions end at the bottom edge of the windows with pyramidal brackets. On the north wall (to the left of the altar) is a valuable sanctuary from the year 1500 - made of stone, richly decorated. Behind the altar in the apse is a simple saddle portal. The northern sacristy is vaulted with a variation of the Milevian net vault from 1425. The ribs extend from figural consoles. The space on the first floor above the sacristy has sexpartite vaulting with pyramidal brackets.
The southern sacristy is from 1637 and it is vaulted with three cross vaults with stucco ribs; upstairs is a flat-ceilinged oratory from the second half of the 18th century.
The presbytery is segregated from the main nave by an ogive; only the upper arch seems vigorous, the ribs are more delicate alongside the canopies in which the sculptures are embedded.
In the western part, there is a remarkable late Gothic triforium, supported by pillars of columns. The space under the triforium is vaulted with a net vault. The entrance to the triforium is lined with a saddle portal from 1510.
The three-aisles hall church is carried by four pairs of pillars, alternately in the outline of octagonal and four-leafed pillars. Each column is carrying a statue of a saint on a corbels, the two columns nearest to the altar are decorated by a statue of Mother Mary and the Saint Vitus, both statues have canopy above them. The main nave has a St Vitus net vault type, in the main nave with stone ribs, in the side aisles are used ribs made of brick. The aisles are vaulted with cross rib vault. The ribs pass through the walls without capitals turning into a rounded fine pillar that extends from the ground.
The northern portal is Gothic, richly profiled, dating from about 1410. The wooden carved doors are from the late 17th century. The anteroom in front of him was vaulted in 1900.
Two chapels are added to the church. The Baroque Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk from 1725 built by A. E. Martinelli is rectangular, semi-circular. The Chapel of the Resurrection is originally Gothic, in the 18th century it was rebuilt in Baroque style (eg. rid of ribs) and in 1777 it was painted by František Jakub Prokyš. The two chapels are entered from the nave by semicircular arches.
