Beautiful spring blossoms in bloom in the pathway called Legends Way in Newark New Jersey at the Essex County Courthouse taken a few years back when I was going weekly for Essex County grand jury service. The former 13th Avenue in Newark by the Essex County Justice Center starting by the Essex County Hall of Records had been transformed into a red brick promenade in 2008 later given the name Legends Way. There are bronze plaques giving recognition to people who made significant contributions to Essex County such as MLB Hall of Famers, Yogi Berra, Larry Dolby, Monte Irvin and others such as Pearl Beatty, Kenneth Gibson and several others. A beautiful oasis in the much maligned largest city in New Jersey that is making strides in improving its image. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america @apple @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales #iphone7 @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @essexcountyofficial @newark.nj @newarknjblog @kehcamera @mpbcom
Looking up Kirkgate in Newark with Newark Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene at the far end. Taken from its junction with Castlegate.
‘Kirk’ is Old English/Norse for Church whilst the ‘Gate’ in the street names usually just meant ‘street ‘ or Road, coming from ‘Gata’. In Sweden, I lived on Ronnebygaten or Ronneby Street!

The impressive and gorgeous Gothic architecture of the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark New Jersey the seat of the Archdiocese of Newark is located immediately adjacent Newark’s Branch Brook Park just west of the downtown area. I went to school in Newark, at Rutgers University for the majority of my undergraduate studies, so always admired the immense stature and amazing architectural Gothic details of this truly remarkable house of worship. The sixth largest cathedral in the United States, largest church in New Jersey, its cornerstone was laid on June 11, 1899. The exterior was finished in 1919 but the complex and intricate work on its lovely interiors were not complete because of many delays until October of 1954.

A beautiful structure built in 1907 designed by the famous architect Cass Gilbert who designed New York’s Woolworth Building and US Custom House and Washington DC’s Supreme Court building is the Newark Historic Courthouse located at that triangle at Market Street, Springfield Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard in Newark New Jersey. I walked by this building each week during my term as a grand juror and used to walk by it while an undergraduate in Newark in the 1980’s when it was for the most part abandoned and need of TLC. The design, a Renaissance style marble clad structure is one of the loveliest in New Jersey for sure and another of the renowned architect Cass Gilbert’s masterpieces. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotoweek @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone7 @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @apple @mpbcom @kehcamera @cityofnewarknj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful
Late afternoon sun highlights the bridge at Newark, spanning the River Trent.
It was built in 1775 by Stephen Wright with footways and railings dated 1848 to carry the Great North Road over the River Trent by Newark Castle.
Downtown Newark back in 2014, the much maligned largest city in the state of New Jersey has struggled for decades, mired in a malaise that stemmed from the destructive and divisive Riots of 1967 and the city has never quite been the same. Other cities mired with urban blight have been able to reinvent themselves, Newark has struggled to do the same. There is much improvement when I last walked the streets this past June for a specialist appointment at University Hospital, but even that neighborhood doesn’t feel quite secure. I attended Rutgers University in Newark for the majority of my undergraduate studies in the 1980’s, walked the downtown area to eat when the food at Robeson Hall didn’t quite cut it, used public transportation during heavy snowfall. I shopped at L. Bamberger & Co Flagship store which was rebranded as were all Bamberger store as Macys which had been the parent company for years and Hanes Department Store on Broad Street. Newark has a very active and positive mayor and administration that is taking leaps and bounds to improve the image and situation of the city, it has been impressive, but much work still remains. These are a few of Newark’s tallest skyscrapers in this image, vestiges of an era when Newark was a mecca for insurance companies long gone. Only Prudential remains today as a large player in the area, actually sponsoring the sports arena. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotoweek @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #omsystem @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @newarkdowntowndistrict @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful
This old building on Lovers Lane, Newark is home to the 7th Newark Scout Group. Trying to find history on the building but from its appearance it would seem to be an old Victorian School. Although grand in looks, it is in need of a lot of maintenance work both inside and out so plus general running costs it adds up to a constant drain on their limited resources.
The very cold temperatures of March 2015 had an effect on the commencement of spring this year particularly in the Northeast United States. The cherry blossoms in Washington DC and here in Newark New Jersey all hit their peak blooms post the respective cherry blossom festivals in both places. I guess the blossoms were waiting for Earth Day.
In Newark, they really peaked this past week, the trees lining Branch Brook Lake in Branch Brook Park in Newark earlier this week with their blossoms in full bloom as can be seen in this image taken from the southern end of the lake. The image was captured with an Olympus E-5 with a 12-60mm F/2.8-4.0 Olympus Zuiko Digital Lens, manual exposure, raw file processed in Adobe Lightroom. Having written about this lake before, I recall while I was attending Rutgers University Newark College of Arts and Science in the 1980’s, the downtrodden Newark Park’s Branch Brook Lake had become a dumping ground for old automobiles. The good news is today as Essex County continues to work on the park after a $20,000,000 renovation, all the old car carcasses have been removed, the lake is stocked annually with fish and the grounds around the lake have been cleaned and are being maintained. There is a strong presence of Essex County Police in the park constantly so I have ridden bicycle around the park feeling relatively safe. The Newark Renaissance is slowing moving, Branch Brook Park and the downtown area are starting to show signs of hope, but violence and crime still are pervasive in New Jersey’s largest city so stay tuned.
A series of benches has appeared, all painted differently to reflect aspects of the town. This one is in and about the Market Place. I have taken it to include a reflection of the actual market stalls and their distinctive red and white awnings! It’s all to celebrate Newark Book month.
The main house is perched high on the Cotswold scarp, can just be seen top right, and the summerhouse, overlooking the lake.
Two views of this pretty spot today.
HTMT!
For some reason, these stairs at Newark Castle have been fenced off this summer, the first time at have seen this happen. It has allowed a few weeds to grow!

The old salt ponds near the Dumbarton Bridge are being converted back to wetlands.
Standing beside the eastern channel of the River Trent, is the 12th century Royal Castle of Newark on Trent, Nottinghamshire, UK. Newark stands in Central England where two of Britain's historic long distance roads (the Great North Road and Fosse Way) meet at an ancient and convenient river crossing.. This strategic position earned Newark the nickname the 'Key to the North'.
The castle and town were besieged more than once by Paliamentarian forces during the Civil Wars, after which the castle was deliberately ruined in 1648. "Bad" King John, the signatory of Magna Carta and legendary adversary of Robin Hood died here in 1216 whilst attempting to suppress a nationwide rebellion.
The castle dungeon and the kings bedroom are supposed to be haunted.
Lake State Railway train Z127N with SD50 6354 leading the way enters the siding at Newark, Michigan not long after sunrise to meet a southbound grain train back on May 31, 2020.

When we moved here to Newark nearly nine years ago, Cartergate, one of the main shopping streets was far, far busier. Since then it has suffered from financial troubles including the pandemic.
Now it is quite sparse for shoppers, particularly on a dull, cold and windy late afternoon. Many shops have failed with nobody prepared to take them over. Now lots of nail salons, ladies hair dressers, charity shops, betting and gaming places.
It is much easier to park in one of the two retail parks and do your shopping there with free parking or to go to one of the four major supermarkets, again with free parking. Parking in town is hindered by parking chargers, time allowed and by the constant threat of getting in ticket from the ever present parking wardens!
Incidentally, the overhead wires are part of the Christmas decorations and lights which will shortly be installed.
It's been a while since I did a sunset. After some time looking for a place to park then a public path to get here, we arrived just in time for the light show. It has been months since I last use my filters and it was a mess. Haha...

An early morning visit to the Priory before starting work resulted in some interesting sky colours

NJT train 3947 crosses the bridge at "Dock" interlocking and enters Newark's Penn Station. Leading this Trenton-bound train is an ALP-46 in PRR heritage livery. We were just getting off a northbound when this arrived - very much a right place, right time instance for us!

So many bricked up windows, windows badly replaced with unsuitable new ones and joints between additional building work glaringly obvious. A sidewall to a property that has so many unanswered questions about its history and development.
An ugly but fascinating wall!
Property to the side of Aldi car park, Newark.
An Azuma has its nose over the Flat Crossing, having just gone under the A46. The diamond crossing seems to be of quite heavy duty construction, unsurprisingly.
The Queens Head in the Market Place, Newark was originally a private house but became a pub at some time following. Built in the early 1500s, it was extensively restored in 1950 and became a listed building in 1960.
Nowadays it combines being a pub with that of a restaurant which specialises in Thai Food. It is very popular, especially on market days.
