LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman is a Pacific steam locomotive built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Nigel Gresley. It was employed on long-distance express East Coast Main Line trains by the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably on the London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman train service after which it was named.
The locomotive set two world records for steam traction, becoming the first steam locomotive to be officially authenticated at reaching 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) on 30 November 1934,[1] and then setting a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive when it ran 422 miles (679 km) on 8 August 1989 while in Australia.

The Grand Hotel and Spa, Station Rise, York. Built between 1899 and 1906 as the had office of the North Eastern Railway Company, it was designed by William Bell of the NER and Horace Field. The latter incorporated design features inspired by Sir Christopher Wren, resulting in details with a distinct 17th century flavour. The glass front door of the modern hotel reflect the earlier hotel building of 1853 which later became offices for the railway company. The Grand Hotel is York's first "five star" hotel, offering some penthouse suites with "butler service".

‘Pendennis Castle's’ claim to fame dates from 1925 when the GWR lent the locomotive to the London & North Eastern Railway for trials against Sir Nigel Gresley's mighty new Pacifics exemplified by No.4472 ‘Flying Scotsman’. Working 16-coach trains on the East Coast main line from Kings Cross, the stalwart Castle covered itself in soot and glory, thoroughly out-performing its larger competitors. Her exploits were the talk of every schoolboy in Britain and the GWR rather cheekily sent ‘Pendennis Castle’ to stand alongside ‘Flying Scotsman’ at the 1925 British Empire Exhibition at Wembley with a notice proclaiming her to be the most powerful passenger express locomotive in Britain.
Here we have a black and white image of the LNER 60103 'Royal Scotsman' letting off steam beside the GWR 4079 'Pendennis Castle' in front of the Didcot 1932 loco shed. This is the first meeting between the two engines since that 1925 British Empire Exhibition.
After visiting once during the week at one of the 'steam days' where the Flying Scotsman was pulling carriages up and down the demonstration line I then attended for this evening with Timeline Events.
Bow Fiddle Rock is a natural sea arch near Portknockie on the north-eastern coast of Scotland. It is so called because it resembles the tip of a fiddle bow.
It is composed of Quartzite, a metamorphic rock which was originally quartz sandstone.[ This rock is part of the Cullen Quartzite formation which is seen along the coast between Buckie and Cullen. The formation is some 2,400m thick and dates from the Neoproterozoic Era, 1,000 to 539 million years ago.
These rocks were folded when the ancient continents of Laurentia and Avalonia collided during the Caledonian orogeny. They later became exposed at the surface where sea and weather eroded the structure seen today.
The rock formation is both a tourist attraction and nesting place for sea birds including herring gulls, great black-backed gulls and lesser black-backed gulls.

The July Column (Colonne de Juillet) which commemorates the events of the July Revolution (1830) stands at the center of the square. Prior to 1984, the former Bastille railway station stood where the opera house now stands.
The square is home to concerts and similar events. The north-eastern area of Bastille is busy at night with its many cafés, bars, night clubs, and concert halls.
As a consequence of its historical significance, the square is often the site or point of departure of political demonstrations, including the massive anti-CPE demonstration of 28 March 2006.
The Place de la Bastille is a square in Paris where the Bastille prison stood until the storming of the Bastille and its subsequent physical destruction between 14 July 1789 and 14 July 1790 during the French Revolution. No vestige of the prison remains.
The square straddles 3 arrondissements of Paris, namely the 4th, 11th and 12th. The square and its surrounding areas are normally called simply Bastille. (edited from Wikipedia)

The wall at Moogerah Dam is markedly concave as it holds back the water. This image is an attempt to capture an idea of the size of the wall and how much it curves both horizontally and vertically.
Completed in 1961 as the central catchment of the Warrill Valley Water Supply Scheme, the concrete dam structure is 38 metres (125 ft) high and 219 metres (719 ft) long and allows access to Mount Edwards in Moogerah Peaks National Park. The 315-thousand-cubic-metre (11.1×106 cu ft) dam wall holds back the 83,765-megalitre (1.8426×1010 imp gal; 2.2128×1010 US gal) reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of 228 square kilometres (88 sq mi) that includes much of the north–eastern slopes of the Main Range, the dam creates Lake Moogerah, with a surface area of 827 hectares (2,040 acres). The uncontrolled spillway has a discharge capacity of 740 cubic metres per second (26,000 cu ft/s).
The dam supplies drinking water to the towns of Boonah and Ipswich, although the main user is the Swanbank Power Station. It also supplies irrigation water to small crop farms in the Fassifern Valley.
