Remains of Old Lighthouse, Isle of Little Cumbrae, Ayrshire, Scotland.
James Ewing built the first lighthouse on Little Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde in the year 1757.
It is sited some way from the coast, on top of what is now known as Lighthouse Hill, the highest point of the island.
The lighthouse was designed to ease the passage of shipping into the Firth and the port of Glasgow. Its tower is a circular stone structure standing 28 ft high with an external diameter of 18½ ft. Its internal diameter is 12½ ft. The lighthouse keepers were accommodated in a cottage about 9 metres north of the tower.
For the light, a coal fire was used, which burnt so fiercely that the grate on which it stood had to be replaced after only one year, and then regularly thereafter.
Ewing built the tower for £140.5.8d — considered a low amount. The light was to prove very profitable, and in March 1773 the dues from it were used to pay for the quelling of a mob of sailors who had brought business to a halt in Greenock and Port Glasgow for ten days.
The inherent limits of coal-fire lights, combined with the tower's position on top of a hill, meant that the Little Cumbrae light was often obscured by cloud or fog.
Complaints from seamen led to a plan in 1790 to replace the light in the tower. This eventually led in 1793 to the Little Cumbrae Lighthouse Trust commissioning another tower nearer the coast, the New Tower.
The original tower still stands. The Clyde Port Authority carried out restoration work on it in 1956.
After watching some Old Republic game play, and trailers I was inspired to make some figs. Good figs will be posted soon as well. :)
I hope you enjoyed it.

This truck really puzzled me.
I've never seen anything like it here. At first i thought it was an Acco with the 'Butterbox' cabs like the ones in Australia, but the headlight arrangement is different. The shape of the roof reminds me of the old CMP trucks, but this one have a flat nose instead of a sloped one.
The truck is a 4x2 and it have what I think is drum brakes on the front wheel. Overall, the truck needs some important components such as a pair of tires, drive shaft, seats, radiator, etc., but the steering wheel and engine is still there. The steering wheel is a thin perfect circle with 4 spokes and black in color.
This truck is located at the very back of the truck yard. Just beside it are some very small shacks which explain why it is being used to hang clothes.
Does anyone have any idea what truck this is?
Old Swedes Church, in Wilmington, Delaware, is the oldest church in the United States standing as originally built and still in use as a house of worship.
The church is considered part of First State National Historical Park.
It was erected in 1698–1699 by descendents of the Swedish colonists who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Kalmar Nyckel in 1638.
The smith Mattias de Foss wrought dozens of letters for inscriptions on every outside wall, but only on the east wall are a few still in their original places, forming a fragment of “LUX-L.I. TENEBR. ORIENSEX ALTO” (“Light from on high shines in the darkness”).
Old Boston, c. 1909, looking south from Charlestown, approximately 100' above where my office building is currently located.
Very few of the buildings seen in this old photo still exist. One of the few that does is the one just above the center span of the bridge crossing the Charles River. It has recently been gutted and is being rehabbed as an office for Converse.
The Charlestown Bridge is still here, over 100 years after it was built, though the elevated train line down the center was removed in the late 1930s. The rail line that splits to the right across the river existed as the elevated Green Line on the MBTA until it was torn down in 2005. The left split was the old Atlantic Avenue Elevated, and was town down for scrap metal in 1942 for WWII.
The large round tank at the very left of the photo was a storage tank holding several million gallons of molasses for the Purity Distilling Company. About 10 years after this photo was taken, the tank burst and flooded the surrounding neighborhood with molasses, killing approximately 21 people.

So... I haven't done this for a while. Looking to get back on the horse so will be editing some of the old material I shot a couple of years ago to get back into the swing of things...
An old Istrian house I found while walking in a small medieval village called Gračišće. The light was good so I snapped a few shots but wasn't expecting much of it. I started to like it later, when I previewed it on a big screen.
I don't know why but I love to capture images of old doors and windows. It always makes you wonder what is behind them.

Old Miao farmer in Dali village, we had lunch with him and his family. This day, he saw foreigners for the first time in his life.
I met this old gent whilst shooting for my ongoing 'Tour de Graf' project. As he wandered past with his yapping Chihuahua i heard him say "I don't think they will win any awards for that lot" obviously refering to the graffiti, which sparked up a 2 hour discussion ranging from the decline of Hull's industry to trout fishing to missing buses!
Prior to our chat, he'd been sat watching me taking my shots & as i neared this piece of Graffiti he asked if i'd like him to move, i said if you don't mind being part of the 'Old Skool' stay where you are to which he was more than happy to oblige. The moral of this tale is ....Respec' the old skool!

The old St Lawrence Church in Catford at the junction of Bromley Road, and Catford Road. It was built in 1887, demolished in 1968 to make a car park. Municipal offices were built on the site in 1990.
A small church with the same name was built in Bromley Road.
7DOS Broken Wednesday ....
I hang onto old broken plant pots as I use them when planting other pots. I place small broken parts of the old pots at the bottom of the new pot as it stops becoming saturated when watered or when we have lots of rain!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all.
