Schloss Neuhaus
Auf einem Felsmassiv im Inn, war Schloss Neuhaus bis 2011 ein Institut der Englischen Fräulein. Im 14. Jahrhundert von den bayr. Herzögen zum Schutz der Innbrücke von Schärding auf einem Felsen erbaut. 1750-52 Umbau des heute ältesten Teils. Der Münchner Baumeister Johann Michael Fischer nahm die Umgestaltung im Stil des Rokoko vor.
Es fand im Laufe der Zeit ein häufiger Besitzerwechsel statt. 1859 konnte das Institut der Englischen Fräulein von Burghausen für 9000 Gulden von Fürstin Auguste v. Auersperg das Schloss erwerben und die erste Tochtergründung etablieren. Im Kloster wurde ein Institut errrichtet.
Durch die steigende Schülerinnenanzahl wurde ein Erweiterungsbau notwendig, der dem barocken Bau des Schlosses angeglichen wurde. Zwischen Alt- und Neubau wurde von 1902/1903 vom Münchner Architketen J. B. Schott unter der Leitung des Sulzbacher Baumeisters Capellaro eine kunstvoll ausgestaltete Barokkirche, die bis 1974 Pfarrkirche war, errichtet.
Heute befindet sich in den Räumen eine Realschule für Mädchen und Jungen.
Neuhaus Castle
Until 2011, Neuhaus Castle was an institute of the English Miss on a rock massif in the Inn. In the 14th century by the Bavarian Dukes built on a rock to protect the Schärding Inn Bridge. 1750-52 Remodeling of the oldest part today. The Munich master builder Johann Michael Fischer carried out the redesign in the Rococo style.
There was a frequent change of ownership over time. In 1859, the Institute of the English Miss von Burghausen for 9000 guilders from Princess Auguste v. Auersperg acquire the castle and establish the first subsidiary. An institute was built in the monastery.
Due to the increasing number of students, an extension was necessary, which was adapted to the baroque construction of the castle. Between 1902/1903 the Munich architect J. B. Schott, under the direction of the Sulzbach master builder Capellaro, built an artistically designed Baroque church, which was a parish church until 1974, between the old and the new building.
Today there is a junior high school for girls and boys in the rooms.
has taken its toll on this lovely old stone barn and reduced it to a ruin. The sheep now have ownership. I loved the dry stone wall leading up the road towards Rydal Water.

As always, thank you so much for your comments, faves and invites - so appreciated ! Have a great new week !
1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible
The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the grille. It was named Impala after the graceful African antelope, and this animal became the car's logo.
The Impala became a separate series, adding a four-door hardtop and four-door sedan, to the two-door Sport Coupe and convertible. Sport Coupes featured a shortened roof line and wrap-over back window. The standard engine was an I6, while the base V8 was the carryover 283 cu in (4.6 L), at 185 hp. Optional were a 283 cu in with 290 hp (220 kW) and 348 cu in (5.7 L) V8 up to 335 hp (250 kW). Standard were front and rear armrests, an electric clock, dual sliding sun visors, and crank-operated front vent windows. A contoured hooded instrument panel held deep-set gauges. A six-way power seat was a new option, as was "Speedminder", for the driver to set a needle at a specific speed and a buzzer would sound if the preset were exceeded.
The 1960 Impala models reinstated three round taillights on each side, and a white band running along the rear fenders.
The available V8s were reduced to seven, in 283-cu in or 348-cu in displacements. The carbureted Turbo-Fire 283 cu in V8 could have either 170 or 230 hp. The 348 cu in was available in 250 to 320 hp with a 350 hp Special Super Turbo-Thrust with triple two-barrel carburetors, 11.25:1 compression ratio, and dual exhausts. Fuel injection was no longer an option on full-size Chevrolets. New to the options list was speed and cruise control. Production was 490,000 units.
The former medieval fortress was rebuilt by the Benedictine monks in the 13th century, when the land ownership was confirmed to them by King Ottokar II. The monastery gradually became a centre of cultural and religious life of the Broumov region and after a conflagration in the 17th century it was rebuilt in the baroque style by Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofers. After a sad period in the second half of the 20th century, when the monastery served as an internment camp for monks and nuns, the monastery has, since 2007, once again become the centre of local cultural life; while in 2014 a part of the monastery and the monastic garden underwent extensive reconstruction work.
When the lighthouse was built in 1915, it replaced the earlier 1867 lighthouse. The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act provides for the Coast Guard to declare some lighthouses surplus, and for their ownership to be transferred to historical, non-profit or local government entities following an application process and review. Nine lighthouses were identified in the fall of 2001 as part of a pilot program to transfer such lighthouses. Rondout Light was one of those nine.[ Rondout Light was transferred from the Coast Guard to the City of Kingston in 2002.
It is currently managed by the non-profit Hudson River Maritime Museum.
So Flickr charges more money, yet today every fourth picture I visit I cannot comment. And beyond that ideal. One of us fine devoted flickr member passes and when renewal comes around, all their work except 1,000 images is gone. I would like to think some of us live onward.
I do not know why fences attract me so. They stand for so many ideals compared to life. I think the one thing that stands out is that it means "this is mine, stay out"
Go get your own in other words.
Happy Fence Friday
This is an image that I captured in 2018 of a sunrise while at Schoodic Peninsula in Acadia National Park, Maine. As most any photographer knows, a lot of changes in our processing work flow can happen in just a year's time, let alone in four years. The version that I posted way back then is quite a bit different - different computer, different display with more accurate calibration, different and newer software and preferences, and along with (I hope) evolved experience and knowledge. Since people in the past liked and saved the previous version, I do not think that it is fair that I eliminate it. Consequently, I have decided that the better choice is to post the new along with this explanation. (image 34a7190) Please also visit: www.acadiamagic.com/.

St. Mary's in Redbourn, Hertfordshire. The church goes back to the 12th century - long before the Anglican Church was established. Let us say, the Anglican Church 'inherited' the building from what used to be the Roman Catholic tradition. But who owns it today, and actually? Different Christian denominations deal with this matter in various ways. The Anglican Church decided half a century ago that its church buildings as a matter of principle (there would always be special cases for historical reasons) do not belong to the local congregation but to the institution as such. As you might imagine, there are plenty of pros and cons in this regard. One issue is that the local congregation has to contribute to the maintenance of the building without having the right, say, to sell it. Another matter is that the local congregation is inevitably defined not by what it does or believes in, but a building. 7Artisans lens at approx. F8.
On a cold December day in 2009, a low resolution wind on shot... Just in case someone wants to claim ownership again!
Absolutely gorgeous, heritage style, dream home ( new or old I am not really sure, but the look is timeless ).
Pride of ownership radiates from this well cared for home.
Landscaping is truly wonderful. 10 ft high sunflowers, manicured box hedges, emerald cedars, green lawn, potted flowers, and even lit up wreaths accent the front porch.
Stonework, pillars, cozy enclosed porch with ceiling fans, upper deck and look at that orange front door.
So much for the eye to appreciate.
Set under the glow of the setting sun.

Well before Genesee & Wyoming took over Rail Management's Georgia Central, the fleet of U Boats was still getting the job done on a daily basis. Seen here is the former Southern Railway/Norfolk Southern U23B 3938 running as intended, long hood forward southbound at Danville, Georgia in October 2004. This was at a time before everyone made a dash to the GC for the U Boats which would make their last stand under GWi ownership through 2014 and 2015. Slide Scan

AUSTRIA... one of the most beautiful countries - Lake Gosau
C'est formidable de pouvoir montrer ma belle patrie...
---
The Lake Gosau is a small mountain lake, embedded in beautiful nature with a view of the Dachstein!
This small mountain lake, which has a preservation order, has been made famous not only because of its outstanding natural beauty, but also because of its clear, cold water which is suitable as drinking water.
Because of its purity, the water provides perfect living/breeding conditions for numerous species of fish.
Nestling amongst the highest mountains of the Salzkammergut, the lake is one of the most photographed sights in the region. The world traveller and naturalist Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt was overwhelmed by the beauty of thelake and its crowning glory - the "mighty towers of the Dachstein", and described it in his works as "the eye of God".
CN's White Pine Local works slowly east over the Presque Isle River trestle just east of Tula, MI on the beautiful morning of August 1, 2003. WC 2002 East has a short train boxcars for the copper refinery at White Pine. We're into the second year of CN ownership of the WC lines in the U.P., but so far pretty much everything looked and felt the same.
The White Pine Local would run east three days a week out of North Ironwood, MI and would be the perfect target on the way over from the Twin Ports on the deadhead to the Upper Peninsula to railfan the E&LS, LS&I, or WC/CN.
The Mellenheads that ran this line in late-WC and early-CN were some of the friendliest railroaders I even encountered. They were always helpful with intel and offered numerous cab rides. Not sure it was more the all-day 10 MPH or my preference for photos, but I never took them up on the latter.
During this time, the ex-Algoma Central GP38-2s were common on the former WC lines and they looked great with their relatively recent maroon paint applied.
All good things come to an end. The ex-AC 2000s were eventually banished to Canada and this ex-DSS&A line would see its last train east of Marengo Jct. in 2010. The ex-Soo line that it connected with hasn't fared much better. Good memories though of these photos and also of the friendly railroaders that ran these trains.
In ownership since 1999, and recently revived. Technically it is sound now, the exterior needs some work. But isn't that how a Ritmo should be?
New York, Susquehanna and Western GP18 #1800 rolls onto the Syracuse line for the first time at Chenango Forks, NY. In fact, this was the first move over the southern portion of the line in about two years. A washout around Itaska, NY left it in despire. Conrail refused to do the repairs and ran their local train out of Syracuse to serve the remaining customers. With NYS&W operations being based out of Binghamton to the south, the hole had to be filled. That took place during the first few days of NYS&W ownership and then that Saturday, the 1800 veered off the Utica "main", (seen in the background), at this location and crawled through the weeds for the next few miles removing the rust along the way.
By 1995, this route would become an important segment of moving double stack trains across the US.
Sliding down from the Brescian Prealps into the Po Valley is the ancient Lombard city of Brescia, some 3500 years old. Fascinating place and as I walk the streets I think I hear Marco Uccellini's (1610-1680) Sonata 'La filosofia'. Brescia around the turn of the 16th century was a mistress of violin making; think of master Giovanni Paolo Maggini (1580-1630) and his school.
From my balcony in the middle of the night this view of Brescia's two cathedrals. The new one on the left was built from 1604; it's also called 'the Summer Cathedral'. The old one is just visible on the right; its affectionate name is 'the Winter Cathedral' and it dates from the 11th century, which makes it romanesque. I saw the new cathedral yesterday and its twin organ. But this morning I'll visit the old one with an organ dating to the 16th century.
And the sky is Bright Blue!
Ah! Yes! and Brescia was the home of the radical social-political thinker - perhaps philosopher - Arnold of Brescia (1090-1155), renouncing property ownership. He was hanged for his 'heresy'.
The Alter Real is a strain of the Lusitano which is bred only at the Alter Real State Stud in Portugal. The stud was founded in 1748 by the Portuguese royal family to provide horses for the national riding academy and royal use. The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art (Escola Portuguesa de Arte Equestre) uses these horses exclusively in their performances. The strain was developed from 300 Iberian mares imported from Spain in 1747. When Napoleon invaded Spain in the early 19th century, the Alter Real strain deteriorated due to the introduction of Arabian, Thoroughbred, Spanish-Norman and Hanoverian blood. However, in the 19th and 20th centuries the strain was re-established with the further introduction of Spanish blood.
In the early 20th century, with the 1910 revolution that ended the monarchy, the Alter Real strain faced extinction, as records were burned, stallions were gelded and the stud discontinued. Ruy d'Andrade, a specialist in Iberian horse breeds, saved two stallions and several mares, and was able to re-establish the strain, turning his herd over to the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture in 1942, when the stud was reopened.The Portuguese state has maintained ownership of the stud, and continues to produce horses for use in high school dressage.

If my math is correct, VGN’s mileposts measured 441 miles from Norfolk extending westward across Virginia and called their end of ownership up at Deep Water, WV. That makes this loaded coal train only 10 miles from the end of VGN ownership.
The oldest historical record of a building at the location of the current castle dates to 1391. In that year, the De Haar family received the castle and the surrounding lands as a fiefdom from Hendrik van Woerden. The castle remained in the ownership of the De Haar family until 1440, when the last male heir died childless. The castle then passed to the Van Zuylen family. In 1482, the castle was burned down and the walls were destroyed, except for the parts that did not have a military function. These parts probably were incorporated into the castle when it was rebuilt during the early 16th century. The castle is mentioned in an inventory of the possessions of Steven van Zuylen from 1506, and again in a list of fiefdoms in the province Utrecht from 1536. The oldest image of the castle dates to 1554 and shows that the castle had been largely rebuilt by then. After 1641, when Johan van Zuylen van de Haar died childless, the castle seems to have gradually fallen into ruins. The castle escaped total destruction by the French during the Rampjaar 1672.
In 1801 the last Catholic van Zuylen in the Netherlands, the bachelor Anton-Martinus van Zuylen van Nijevelt (1708–1801), bequeathed the property to his cousin Jean-Jacques van Zuylen van Nyevelt (1752–1846) of the Catholic branch in the Southern Netherlands.
In 1887, Jean-Jacques' grandson, Etienne Gustave Frédéric Baron van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar (1860–1934), married Baroness Hélène de Rothschild, of the Rothschild family. When Etienne inherited the ruined castle in 1890 from his grandfather, the couple set about rebuilding the castle, fully financed by Hélène's family.[2] For the restoration of the castle, they contracted famous architect Pierre Cuypers. He would work on this project for 20 years (from 1892 to 1912).[3] The castle has 200 rooms and 30 bathrooms, of which only a small number on the ground and first floor have been opened to be viewed by the public. Cuypers placed a statue of himself in a corner of the gallery on the first floor.
The castle was equipped by Cuypers with the most modern gadgets, such as electrical lighting with its own generator, and central heating by way of steam. This installation is internationally recognized as an industrial monument.[citation needed] The kitchen was for that period also very modern and still has a large collection of copper pots and pans and an enormous furnace approximately 6 metres long, which is heated with peat or coals. The tiles in the kitchen are decorated with the coats of arms of the families De Haar and Van Zuylen, which were for this purpose especially baked in Franeker. Cuypers emphasized the difference between the old and new walls by using different kinds of bricks. For the interior Cuypers made extensive use of cast iron.
Many details in the castle refer to the Rothschild family, such as the Stars of David on the balconies of the knight's hall and the coat of arms of the family right underneath on the hearth in the library. The coat of arms of the Van Zuylen family are omnipresent. Their motto is on the hearth in the knight's hall (A majoribus et virtute)
The interior of the castle is decorated with richly ornamented woodcarving, reminiscent of the interior of a Roman Catholic church. This carving was made in the workshop of Cuypers in Roermond, who even designed the tableware. The interior is furnished with many works from the Rothschild collections, including beautiful old porcelain from Japan and China, and several old Flemish tapestries and paintings with religious illustrations. The centrepiece is a carrier coach of the wife of a Japanese shōgun, which reportedly is only one of two worldwide, the other one being exhibit in Tokyo. Japanese tourists come to De Haar to admire this coach, which was donated from the Rothschilds' collections.
The origin of the house at 249 Victoria Street that became the historic Senator Restaurant, dates back to the earliest property records kept by the Town of York...1860
In 1929, prior to the Great Depression, Toronto had become one of the leading cultural centres of the world. The restored ELGIN/WINTERGARDEN and PANTAGES ED MIRVISH Theatres are the last two original vaudeville houses of the era and with MASSEY HALL they have now formed the downtown theatre district. Robert Angeloff, a Macedonian entrepreneur, converted the house to the BUSY BEE DINER. The “B” consisted of an open kitchen and counter and became a local destination for traditional meals and coffee to go. In 1938 Luke and Vangel Eftimoff purchased the Busy Bee which they later sold to George Nicolau, a cook with a vision.
George renovated and expanded the Busy Bee and renamed it the SENATOR. Designed and built by the Toronto Refrigeration Company, the SENATOR remains today in its original style and fixtures from 1948. After the war, downtown Toronto along Yonge Street – known across Canada as “the strip” – became the destination for the new restaurants and nightclubs in the city; BASSEL’S , STEELE’S, THE BROWN DERBY, TOWN TAVERN, COLONIAL TAVERN, SILVER RAIL and LE COQ D’OR but regrettably these are all now gone.
In the past 30 years, under the ownership of the Sniderman family, the SENATOR has become a Toronto landmark and dining institution. The oldest restaurant in the city still has a youthful spirit and we have served generations of Torontonians and visitors alike who appreciate our high quality standards; listed on back page. Now in our 84th year of continuous operation in the same location,
When DB Cargo took over PTKiGK Zabrze, it also got ownership of M62-1241. Some years ago this loco was put on broad gauge bogies and transferred to Małaszewicze, where it is used for shunting. Unfortunately last year the loco lost its nice green/red PTKiGK livery and now wears the corporate DB livery.
This tiny harbour located at the mouth of the River Alun in South West Wales has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1940.
The harbour was built in the 12th century to serve the nearby city of St Davids. Timber, coal, grain and limestone were traded through it and the remains of the lime kilns can still be seen on the side of the harbour.
Today, Porthclais is a quiet backwater used mainly by boat users and walkers. There is a small car park and a National Trust refreshment kiosk which was most welcome on the day we visited because of the weather.

Deutschland / Rheinland-Pfalz - Beilstein
View from the Metternich Castle
Aussicht von der Ruine Burg Metternich
Beilstein is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Cochem, whose seat is in the like-named town.
The municipality lies on the river Moselle.
Finds from Frankish graves show that Beilstein was settled about AD 800. Beginning in 1268, the village was a fief held by the Lords of Braunshorn. Under Johann von Braunshorn (1299–1346), Beilstein was granted town privileges in 1309 by Heinrich VII and was fortified. In 1309, a Jewish community was founded, whose graveyard up above the castle still exists today. In 1310 the former parish church was endowed. After the family von Braunshorn died out, the fief passed in 1360 to the family von Winneburg. After the Electorate of Trier took over ownership of Beilstein in 1488, it enfeoffed the Imperial Counts of Metternich with the Lordship of Winneburg and Beilstein. In 1689 came the destruction of Castle Metternich (known as Die stolze Gemäuer, or "The Proud Walling") by French troops. The Carmelite monastery was founded in 1636 (and dissolved in 1803). In 1691, the Carmelite monastery church's foundation stones were laid; the church was completed in 1783. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the village's appearance took on the shape that it still largely retains today. The Metternich lordship was swept away in 1794 when French Revolutionary troops occupied the region. In 1815 Beilstein was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The small village has one of the best preserved historical appearances on the Moselle and is thus also sometimes known as a miniature Rothenburg ob der Tauber or Dornröschen der Mosel ("Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle"). Towering above the village, which despite its small size is built to look much like a town, are the ruins of Castle Metternich, which once belonged to the like-named noble family.
The village is a pilgrimage site, for it is here that the "Miraculous Black Madonna" is displayed in the Baroque Saint Joseph's Monastery Church. This is a statue of Spanish origin from the 12th or 13th century, left behind by the Spaniards after their short time as Beilstein's lords after the Thirty Years' War and shortly thereafter taken to France, only to be brought back to Beilstein in 1950.
The organ in the monastery church was built by Balthasar König from Münstereifel/Cologne in 1738. Restoration work in 2002 gave the instrument back its original sound and character.
Each year in July and August, the Beilsteiner Märchensommer ("Beilstein Fairy-Tale Summer") is held, at which the marionette theatre from Cochem produces fairy tales at the winegrowing museum. Always opening and closing the series of events is a traditional version of the Brothers Grimm’s "Sleeping Beauty", in keeping with one of the village's nicknames.
The municipality has been the setting in a number of German films, such as the 1958 film version of Der Schinderhannes, about the well known outlaw starring Curd Jürgens, Nazi filmmaker Carl Froelich’s 1936 work Wenn wir alle Engel wären ("If We Were All Angels") starring Heinz Rühmann and the 1938 film Das Verlegenheitskind starring Ida Wüst and Paul Klinger.

Beilstein ist eine Ortsgemeinde im Landkreis Cochem-Zell in Rheinland-Pfalz. Sie gehört der Verbandsgemeinde Cochem an.
Fränkische Gräberfunde zeigen Beilsteins Besiedlung um 800 n. Chr. auf. Seit 1268 war der Ort Lehnsbesitz der Herren von Braunshorn. Unter Johann von Braunshorn (1299–1346) erhielt Beilstein im Jahre 1309 von König Heinrich VII. Stadtprivilegien und wurde befestigt. Seit 1309 ist eine jüdische Gemeinde urkundlich belegt, deren jüdischer Friedhof oberhalb der Burg noch heute besteht. 1310 wurde die ehemalige Pfarrkirche gestiftet. Nach dem Aussterben des Geschlechtes von Braunshorn ging das Lehen 1360 an die von Winneburg über. Nachdem Kurtrier 1488 Beilstein in Besitz genommen hatte, belehnte es 1652 die Reichsgrafen von Metternich mit der Herrschaft Winneburg und Beilstein. 1689 erfolgte die Zerstörung der Burg Metternich („Die stolze Gemäuer“) durch französische Truppen. Ein Karmeliterkloster wurde 1636 gegründet (1803 aufgehoben), 1691 erfolgte die Grundsteinlegung der Karmeliter-Klosterkirche, die 1783 vollendet wurde. Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert entstand das Ortsbild, welches bis heute weitgehend erhalten geblieben ist. Die Herrschaft der Reichsgrafen von Metternich endete im Jahr 1794 mit der Besetzung durch die französische Revolutionstruppen. Von 1798 bis 1814 gehörte der Ort zum Kanton Zell im Rhein-Mosel-Département und war Hauptort einer Mairie. 1815 wurde der Ort auf dem Wiener Kongress dem Königreich Preußen zugeordnet und gehörte zur Bürgermeisterei Senheim im Kreis Zell. Seit 1946 ist er Teil des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz.
Die kleine Siedlung hat eines der am besten erhaltenen historischen Ortsbilder an der Mosel und wird daher auch als Miniatur-Rothenburg oder 'Dornröschen der Mosel' bezeichnet. Überragt wird das Dorf, das trotz geringer Größe städtebaulichen Charakter hat, von der Ruine der Burg Metternich, die einst dem gleichnamigen Fürstengeschlecht gehörte.
Der Ort ist eine Pilgerstätte, da dort die „Wunderbare Schwarze Madonna“ in der barocken Klosterkirche St. Joseph aufgestellt ist. Es ist eine Statue spanischen Ursprungs aus dem 12./13. Jahrhundert. 1620 hatten die Spanier im Dreißigjährigen Krieg den Ort erobert. Sie brachten aus ihrer Heimat die Skulptur mit und überließen die Schwarze Madonna den Beilsteinern am Ende ihrer vierzehn Jahre währenden Herrschaft. Nachdem 1948 wieder Karmeliterpatres in das Kloster eingezogen waren, brachte man 1950 in einer feierlichen Prozession das Gnadenbild der Schwarzen Madonna, das zwischenzeitlich nach Trier in das Diözesanmuseum gelangt war, unter großer Anteilnahme der Bevölkerung wieder in die Beilsteiner Kirche zurück.
Die Orgel in der Klosterkirche ist ein Werk des Orgelbauers Balthasar König aus Münstereifel/Köln aus dem Jahre 1738. Eine Restaurierung im Jahr 2002 gab dem Instrument den originalen Klang bzw. die ursprüngliche Disposition zurück.
Im Juli und August jeden Jahres wird der „Beilsteiner Märchensommer“ ausgerichtet, bei dem das Marionettentheater aus Cochem im Weinbaumuseum Märchen aufführt. Zum Auftakt und Abschluss der Veranstaltungsserie wird immer Grimms „Dornröschen“ in einer traditionellen Version auf der Guckkastenbühne aufgeführt, mit ein Grund für die Bezeichnung Beilsteins als Dornröschen der Mosel.
Dem Journalisten und Buchautor Walter Henkels (1906–1987) wurde am 4. September 1981 die Ehrenbürgerwürde der Ortsgemeinde Beilstein verliehen.
Der Ort war Schauplatz zahlreicher deutscher Heimatfilme, wie zum Beispiel der bekannten Verfilmung von Der Schinderhannes mit Curd Jürgens, Wenn wir alle Engel wären, 1936 mit Heinz Rühmann oder Das Verlegenheitskind, 1938 mit Ida Wüst und Paul Klinger.
Der Ort ist Etappenziel des Moselsteigs.

Machias Seal Island is probably the best place to see puffin at close range in North America. The island is located between the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy, about 10 miles southeast of Cutler, Maine. Ownership of the Island is disputed by the US and Canada. A large colony of Arctic terns defend themselves and the puffins from predators by attacking everything they believe is a threat including, black-backed and herring gulls, skuas, birders, and photographers.
The tragic fate of the Milwaukee Road's Pacific Extension is well known in the railfan world. For those like myself born after the line faded into history, it survives only in the photos and memories shared by the dwindling few who were alive to see it. West of Miles City, Montana, precious few miles of the Milwaukee survive. Most of what's left survives as industrial spurs that were grafted into other surviving rail networks. One under-the-radar remnant extends southeast out of Butte near what was once the location of Newcomb siding on the old main. After shooting the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific in Butte, we lucked into BNSF L-MON2351-30I working a propane customer on the easternmost end of the line. After it was isolated from the rest of the MILW system, BN became the operator of this spur. After a brief tenure under Montana Western ownership, it came under the BNSF umbrella when the Montana Western was bought.
The Washington Avenue Bridge (1902), a pin-connected, steel Pennsylvania through-truss, spans the Brazos River north of Downtown Waco, Texas. The bridge is located 200 yards west of the Waco Suspension Bridge (1870; NRHP 1970). Built for two-way access, both traffic lanes on the bridge now run in one direction (southwesterly), carrying vehicular traffic from Elm Avenue to Washington Avenue. Pedestrian traffic continues in both directions. The length of the main span is 450 feet. Two approach spans measure 67 feet on the east side and 40 feet on the west, resulting in a total length of 557 feet. The total width, including roadway and sidewalks, is 41½ feet. At its highest point, the truss is 60 feet above the road surface. The bridge's substructure consists of four piers, 96 inches in diameter, one under each inclined end post. The piers are poured-in-place concrete, with the top 20 feet clad in ⅜-inch rolled steel plate. Each pair of piers is braced and cladded with ⅜-inch steel plates and angles, riveted diagonally between the them. The bracing is placed only at the top 18 feet of each pier. The inclined end posts are attached to the piers with a 6-inch diameter steel pin. On the west side the connection assembly is bolted to the top of the pier. To accommodate expansion and contraction the pinned connection assembly on the east side is allowed to slide on rails that are anchored to the top of the piers.
The Washington Avenue Bridge was the second permanent vehicular structure built across the Brazos River in Waco, Texas. The Waco Suspension Bridge (NR 1970) provided the first permanent crossing one block down river (east) in 1870. The 1902 bridge was, at the time of construction, the longest single-span vehicular truss bridge in Texas. Due to the 450-foot span, a truss system with a bowed top chord had to be used, and the Pennsylvania truss - useful in spanning great distances - was chosen. The Washington Avenue Bridge opened to traffic on June 30, 1902, forming a vital link between two main thoroughfares, Washington Avenue on the west bank and Elm Avenue on the east. The contract was awarded to J.H. Sparks of St. Joseph, Missouri, at a cost of $93,300. The railings and approach spans were constructed by Mess Hill Bros, at a cost of $1,850. John Wharton Maxey of Houston served as supervising engineer. McLennan County and the City of Waco each contributed $50,000 to meet the expenses, resulting in joint ownership of the bridge.
The Washington Avenue Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on February 20, 1998 for its significance in engineering and how it contributed to the rapid economic and demographic growth of Waco on both sides of the river in the early part of the 20th century.

Susquehanna NY-10 rolls along US-23 in Oak Ridge, NJ behind a matched pair of Dash 8s. 4044 was one of the twenty Dash 8s financed by CSX after Susquehanna was directed by the government in 1988 to operate the bankrupt Delaware & Hudson. All reverted to CSX ownership once the D&H was sold to Canadian Pacific in 1991, meaning 4044 would be off the property before the end of the year.

Der Azaleen- und Rhododendronpark Kromlau ist ein ca. 200 ha großer Landschaftspark im Ortsteil Kromlau der Gemeinde Gablenz im Landkreis Görlitz. Er gilt als die größte Rhododendren-Freilandanlage in Deutschland und ist bei freiem Eintritt immer geöffnet. 1842 erwarb der Großgrundbesitzer Friedrich Hermann Rötschke das Gut Kromlau. Ab 1844, mit den ersten Anpflanzungen einheimischer und fremdländischer Gehölze in diesem Gut, stellte Rötschke fast die Hälfte seines Besitzes zur Gestaltung des Parks zur Verfügung. Es wurden Basaltsteine mit Ochsenkarren aus verschiedenen Steinbrüchen der Sächsischen Schweiz und Böhmen herbeigeholt. Aus den sechskantigen Basaltstelen entstanden Höhlen, Grotten und Pyramiden, der Richterstuhl, die Orgel, Himmel und Hölle, im Wasser und zu Lande. 1875 tauschte Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke sein Rittergut gegen Bauplätze in Wilmersdorf bei Berlin ein. Das Kromlauer Schloss hatte von hier an sieben Besitzer in vierzehn Jahren. 1889 erwarb Graf von und zu Egloffstein-Arklitten das Rittergut und beauftragte ab 1893 den Gartenbauinspektor Georg Eichler mit der Parkpflege. Dieser begann neben den bisherigen Baum- und Strauchgewächsen in größerem Umfang Rhododendren und Freiland-Azaleen anzupflanzen. Sie sollten zu einem harmonisch abgerundeten Erscheinungsbild der Parkanlage beitragen. Außerdem legten die Gartengestalter in den Moorsenken eigens zum Verkauf bestimmte Blumenzüchtungen an, die einen einträglichen Nebenverdienst erbrachten und der Entwicklung des Parks zugutekamen.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Kromlauer Park aufgrund der Bodenreform in Volkseigentum überführt und 1948 zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärt. Erst ab 1966 begannen die zielgerichtete Pflege und Rekonstruktion des Parks. Heute ist die Gemeinde Gablenz Eigentümer des Kromlauer Parkes.
Zu den interessantesten Bauwerken im Kromlauer Park zählen das Kromlauer Schloss und die von 1863 bis 1882 aus Basalt- und Feldsteinen errichtete Rakotzbrücke (Rakotz = Sorbisch für Krebs, denn Kromlau liegt im Siedlungsgebiet der Sorben), die im Volksmund auch Teufelsbrücke genannt wird. Mit einer Spannweite von 35 m quert sie den Rakotzsee, kann jedoch nicht betreten werden. Ihr Halbkreis spiegelt sich im See und bildet so optisch einen vollständigen Kreis. Die im See angeordneten Basaltsäulen werden „Orgel“ genannt. Eine Reihe von Wanderwegen erschließt den Park und die weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park is a landscaped park covering around 200 hectares in the village of Kromlau, part of of the municipality of Gablenz in the district of Görlitz in east Saxony. It is considered the largest open-air rhododendron park in Germany and is always open with free admission. The large landowner Friedrich Hermann Rötschke acquired the Kromlau estate in 1842. From 1844, with the first plantings of native and non-native trees and shrubs on the estate, Rötschke allocated almost half of his property to the creation of the park. Basalt stones were brought in with ox carts from various quarries in Saxon Switzerland and Bohemia. Caves, grottos and pyramids, the Judge's Seat, the Organ, Heaven and Hell, in water and on land, were created from the hexagonal basalt steles. In 1875, Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke exchanged his estate for building plots in Wilmersdorf near Berlin. From then on, Kromlau Castle had seven owners in fourteen years. In 1889, Count von und zu Egloffstein-Arklitten acquired the manor and from 1893 commissioned the horticultural inspector Georg Eichler to maintain the park. He began planting rhododendrons and azaleas on a large scale alongside the existing trees and shrubs. They were to contribute to the harmonious appearance of the park. In addition, the garden designers planted flower cultivars in the bog depressions specifically for sale, which generated a lucrative side income and benefited the development of the park.
After the Second World War, the Kromlau Park was transferred to public ownership as a result of the land reform and declared a nature reserve in 1948. It was not until 1966 that targeted maintenance and reconstruction of the park began. Today, the municipality of Gablenz is the owner of Kromlau Park.
The most interesting buildings in Kromlau Park include Kromlau Manor and the Rakotz Bridge (Rakotz = Sorbian for crab - Kromlau is part of the settlement area of the recognised slavic minority of the Sorbs), which was built between 1863 and 1882 from basalt and fieldstone and is also known locally as the Devil's Bridge. With a span of 35 metres, it crosses Lake Rakotz, but can not be walked on. Its semi-circle is reflected in the lake and thus visually forms a complete circle. The basalt columns arranged in the lake are called ‘organs’. A series of hiking trails provide access to the park and the other sights.
