Dobwalls was a theme park 7 1/4" miniature railway that opened in 1971 and closed it's doors in 2006 for redevelopment that never happened. I, like many others, have fond memories of the place, and miss it very much. This place is why I like the 7 1/4" gauge as much as I do. These pictures were snapped in 2004, 2 years before Dobwalls closed down.
Early morning start, towards Kefalonia. We had seen this large yacht, with very tall masts, moored outside of Zakynthos harbour on the previous evening, with intriguing lighting up thye masts.

Today for some strange reason I decided to walk the 7 sisters both ways. I was greeted with thick mist so wondered what I would be able to see but on the start of the walk the sun started to burn the mist of. As it was half-term it was getting busier as the day went on. So lots of images of birds in flight especially Fulmars. But lots of other things to add from just the mist to a cyclist a pony the cottages and of course lighthouses.
A busy moment on the Hope Valley line as two units pass, in the distance an unidentified Freightliner 66 gets ready to buffer up to a rake of cement tanks.
As 43181 (and 010 on the back) await the driver meteing out the horses in P4, distantly related powercar no. 43086 (with 43017 "Hannahs" on the rear) arrives into P5.
The trains were 1C86 (1506 London Paddington-Penzance) and 1A92 (1700 Paignton-London Paddington) respectively.
Photos of Condor Liberation’s maiden passenger voyage from Poole to Guernsey and Jersey on Friday March 27 2015. The new £50m fast ferry is over twice the size of those it replaces and is, obviously, an improvement in terms of a more modern feel on board, including the car decks. But the Liberation’s opening weekend of service turned out to be rather more dramatic than anticipated.
Friday’s first sailing departed Poole some 30 minutes late and arrived in St Helier, Jersey 80 minutes late. There was some sort of issue as Liberation was preparing to depart from St Peter Port in Guernsey which appeared to add to the already delayed journey. A loud crash was heard at the stern of the ship docked to the ramp as quayside staff seemed to wrangle with a jib of some kind - and another worker appeared to make calls about a taught rope on a bollard. Perhaps those more expert than me can look at those pics and shed some light on what was going on? But all was eventually sorted out and we left for Jersey.
However the next day (Saturday) on Liberation’s second passenger sailing, she unfortunately had an argument with the jetty at St Peter Port. Strong winds resulted in a collision. Although described as “minor damage” to the ferry, Liberation was taken out of service and Jersey-bound passengers on that second sailing had to later transfer to conventional ferry Commodore Clipper to take them on to St Helier.
As things turned out, Liberation had to be returned to Poole for repairs and was taken out of service for a week. So at the time of posting this - April 2 - the relatively small number of passengers left on Liberation after the Guernsey disembarkations on Friday maiden passenger voyage are still the first and only paying customers to have made the trip on Liberation all the way to Jersey. The ship is due back in service on April 4 and I wish Condor and all their staff well. (Update: Liberation finally returned to service on Sunday April 5 after wet weather delayed the final pieces of welding work)
The purpose of posting most of these photos is to both illustrate what the Condor Liberation looks like from a paying customer’s point of view and also to give those yet to travel on her an idea of what to expect. Check out individual captions for info on facilities, the “ride” experience in various sections and more.

The platform at Victoria Avenue is barely long enough for three coaches, and the GVR's trains are generally around five or six.
However, on the day I visited, they were using just three coaches.
Just after departing Tokyo Station on board a Nozomi N700 Shinkansen bound for Kyoto, another Shinkansen carrying passengers the other way is about to arrive in Tokyo.
As many a Shoreham resident knows, the level crossing by the station often appears to be down for an eternity. Frequently 3 trains pass before it opens. This was train number 3. On this occasion, I was happy to wait to get my shot

Shuishang Gongyuan (水上公园), or Tianjin Water Park, is easily my favorite city park in Tianjin and – to date – in China. Granted, I haven’t been to nearly enough places in China to make a more comprehensive statement, but of the parks I’ve been to in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, this is easily my favorite.
It’s the largest urban park in the city at a little over 300 acres of space. The park was officially opened in its current state by the communist government in 1951. Previously, it had been known as Green Dragon Pond and has a history that dates back to the first century AD. “With the establishment of Beiyang University and Nankai University at the turn of the 20th century, the waterways of the park became popular for swimming among academic staff and students during the hot summer months.” (Summation via Wikipedia entry.)
The park is quite pleasant year-round. In summer, the lotus pond is bursting with flowers and the photographers who love to shoot them. In spring and fall, various flowers bloom (chrysanthemums in fall, peonies in spring). Winter brings a freezing of the lakes – and there are three: East Lake, West Lake, and South Lake – whereas summer brings a rash of personal boaters.
In addition to leisurely strolling around the grounds with the various pavilions, verandas, and pagodas, the Tianjin Zoo (separate admission) is also on the grounds of the park. Also, there is an amusement park in the northeast corner of the park. Amusement parks are pretty common fare among China’s city parks, which make them slightly different than American city parks.
Shuishang Gongyuan is quite easy to locate. It is nearest the Tianta subway station on line 3 of the Tianjin Metro, about a 5-10 minute walk from any of the exits (though exits C & D are technically the closest). The Tianta TV Tower (whence comes the name of the subway station) is also nearby and quite prominently visible from many places in the park. I’ve yet to venture to the top of the tower, but it would provide an excellent viewing platform for a panoramic view of the park, weather permitting.

William Charles Kloefkorn (1932-2011) / Leon James Satterfield (1934-2011) ... co-founders of the brotherhood of Loup River runners, more commonly known as the LREF. Leon, the scholar and master satirist, and author of the series, "The Truth, Mainly." Bill, long-time Nebraska State Poet and author of thirty-one books of poetry. Both retired from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Both husbands, fathers, professors, friends, and mentors. Both passing within a moon of each other...too much.
I knew as soon as I processed this image, made from the 2009 LREF voyage, that this would be for Bill. Reminds me of his long white hair blowing in the wind, whether windy or no. (Two-image pan.)
From one of Bill's poems, The Shoe:
I am the shoe I threw away last summer, man,
on the river, man, man floating
in a jonboat in a current of the Loup, man,
man who in a burst of anger
or maybe deep delight
tossed the shoe into the channel, man,
man who thought he'd never see the shoe
again, man, man with one shoe on,
one shoe off, man, O I am the shoe
I threw away last summer, man,
man drifting now wherever
those tides of fortune and misfortune
take me, man, I am that ...
(from Loup River Psalter, 2001)
