An original negative dated April 15, 1956 (63 years to the day of this submission), original photographer unknown, from my personal collection:
Pennsylvania Railroad 4-6-2 ('Pacific') K4s #1361 stands outside the Camden, New Jersey* roundhouse just 5 weeks from being 'permanently' retired on May 22 after 38 years and 2.5 million miles of revenue service.
Her retirement wasn't so permanent--she was (briefly) kicked awake for 18 months in the late-1980s, and the two decade long saga that has occurred since needs no further discussion. As the engine I blame the most for this obsession, I'm a little disappointed that I don't actually remember the ride as an infant. But things are really starting to look like I--and many others--will get another chance...😉
*I think. The negative is labelled as Atlantic City, but comparison with another photo of 1361 in Camden from the PA State Archives has the same smoke stack in the background.
saw this establishment that had permanently closed due to the lockdowns caused by the pandemic, this place used to be a lively source of night entertainment for tourists
The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace is a permanent space dedicated to changing exhibitions of items from the Royal Collection, the wide-ranging collection of art and treasures held in trust by The Queen for the Nation.
This shot was quite hard to take, some old woman watched me and every time I went to take the shot she walked in front of me, not sure if it was deliberate but if felt like it. So in the end I banged her on the head with my tripod, knocked her out and dragged her out of the way. Thinking back it could have been the queen. OH not to worry now. I sure after a trip to A & E she will be back to normal, annoying other photographers, that take photos of her home.
I wonder how many read this?
'The Cross', a hill-figure memorial, was constructed as a permanent testament to the sacrifice of those from the parish who died during the First World War. It was unveiled in September 1922 by Major-General Sir Arthur Lynden-Bell KCB KCMG DL JP (1867-1943). The memorial, which was designed by Mr C H Groom the village school headmaster, originally included an inscribed memorial stone within a separate fenced enclosure at the south end of the cross. The cross hill-figure was constructed by Mr Freddie Baldock with volunteers from the village, who excavated its form through the natural geology by hand.
To ease access for survivors and relatives of those fallen, the memorial stone was re-located in 1960 to the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Lenham (NHLE 1086103, Grade I), nearly 1km to the south-west. Following the Second World War, a second inscribed memorial stone was added and is located within the above churchyard. The re-located stones, which now stand on a plinth, are of roughly hewn granite with smoothed face-panels, inscribed with black lettering. These include the names of those fallen in both World Wars.
In 1977, the Ashford Branch of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) Association presented a wooden bench and a memorial plaque as additions to the separate stepped memorial enclosure, south of the cross. The hill-figure cross is maintained by volunteers from the village and was most recently restored with new chalk in 1994.

Severe thunderstorm arriving to the town from Austria, permanently making an end of the late summertime.

An old decrepit boat moored on the edge of the river at Orford. Its been there many years now and it doesn't look like it will be moving any time soon.
Hey my soul sister don't you look so sad
It's time to stop thinking about what you ain't got and see the things you have
Now don't you go and throw it all throw it all away
Tomorrow doesn't have to be just another yesterday
Ride the storm, life goes on, Life goes on, ride the storm
'Cos I can't watch you drown away, drown in your own tears
Everybody gets hurt sometimes, and everybody has fears
You say you want to end it all, but don't you get that rad baby
Cause if you want the good things, you got to taste the bad sometimes
That's how it is
Ride the storm, life goes on, Life goes on, ride the storm
'Cos I know that life can get hazy, but don't let this world drive you crazy, hear me baby
So don't let your world turn a permanent shade of blue
You've got to learn to kick the habit baby, before it starts to kick you yes it will
Don't you know you're bold enough and strong enough to fight
Someway somehow you know it's going to be all right
That's how it is
Ride the storm, life goes on, Life goes on, ride the storm
(A. Roachford)
Permanent Shadows.
listen here
[INTRO]
(Distorted, chugging guitar riff starts in drop tuning. Double-bass drum builds up rapidly, followed by a piercing lead guitar squeal)
[VERSE 1]
Permanent shadows!
Trembling fibers, vessels whirl!
Gnawing terrors rip through stone,
Immense fears roll into the abyss!
Malingering pestilence,
Petrified slumbers explored within—
Enraged delusions black out the sun,
Burying all in dreadful weeping!
[PRE-CHORUS]
(Tempo slows slightly to a heavy, crushing groove)
Condemning ruins deep!
Reasoning premises fall to dust!
Natures deliberating—
Tragic performances play out our fate!
Wounded whole, wounded whole!
[CHORUS]
(Fast thrash beat, soaring harsh vocals)
INFERIOR POINTS OF THE SUBJECTIVE MIND!
Infernal chaos, no peace to find!
Poetic license in iambic provoked—
Through blood and fire, the soul is choked!
[VERSE 2]
(Aggressive blast beats)
Symbolic manifestations rise!
Emanation of intellect permeates the void!
Order... HARMONY... destroyed!
Succumb to the principles!
Ethical strength forged in black flame!
[GUITAR SOLO]
(Fast, shredding guitar solo filled with sweep picking, whammy bar dives, and frantic pentatonic runs)
[BRIDGE]
(Bass-heavy breakdown with heavy cymbal chokes)
Prominent independence... SHAPED!
Ineffectual... SUPPRESSING!
Earnest pleasures... BURN AWAY!
Fluid existence... FLOWS IN BLOOD!
[CHORUS]
(Full band intensity, double-bass drums throughout)
INFERIOR POINTS OF THE SUBJECTIVE MIND!
Infernal chaos, no peace to find!
Poetic license in iambic provoked—
Through blood and fire, the soul is choked!
[OUTRO]
(Breakdown tempo, heavy palm-muted chugs matching synchronized growls)
Fluid existence flows...
LASTING CONSCIOUSNESS!
(Screamed)
INTO THE ABYSS!
(Final crushing chord ring out into feedback and abruptly cuts)

César Manrique Foundation is headquartered in a spectacular dwelling designed by César Manrique himself upon his return from New York City, when he decided to locate permanently at Lanzarote. This was his home for the 20 years running from 1968 to 1988, the longest he ever lived in a single place. It is sited in the midst of a lava coulee formed during the violent eruptions that rocked the island between 1730 and 1736. This 3 000 square metre building engages in constant dialogue with the natural surrounds on its 30 000-square metre lot and beyond: here, volcano and architecture blend in mutual respect.
The upper storey draws its inspiration from Lanzarote’s traditional architecture, enhanced with modern functional elements such as wide windows, large rooms and overhead lighting.
The lower storey is built around five natural volcanic bubbles interconnected by tunnels excavated in the lava. They constitute a surprisingly habitable setting and an exemplary intervention in a natural space. The swimming pool, the small ballroom, the oven, the barbeque… are also open to visitors, all surrounded by abundant plant life and the island’s ubiquitous basalt. The room located just before the exit is the painter’s former studio, today converted into an exhibition hall for paintings.
The landscaping around the house plays on the fascinating contrast between the inorganic black lava, volcanic ash and “socos” (low wind screens) on the one hand and fruit trees and other plants on the other.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Canada Permanent Trust Building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is an Art Deco structure built between 1928 and 1930. It was designed by the architect Henry Sproatt. The 18-floor office building is located at 320 Bay Street and was built by F. Hilton Wilkes.
The building is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act since November 26, 1975. There is also a heritage easement agreement on the building, Registered C440805, since January 7, 1988. The building has a heritage designation plaque to inform the public, placed in 1978.
The Canada Permanent Trust Building is designated to be of architectural value as being one of the finest highrise bank buildings of its period in Canada. Designed using the simplified classical forms of the Style Moderne, it combines an emphasis on its vertical height appropriate to its basic form, with the impressive vaulted banking hall, characteristic of bank buildings at the beginning of the Century. The building is also important as a part of the Bay Street canyon of high-rise buildings that has come to be regarded as symbolic of Toronto's financial quarter."

As our stay here in Annapolis begins to look more permanent feelings of nostalgia surface for what we left behind.
A Lutheran church and the oldest existing building in Bauska. Built between 1591 and 1594 for the needs of the city's Baltic German population.
The tower was added to the original building in 1614 and completed in 1623 by master craftsman Michael Ulrich from Arnstadt.
In 1799 the steeple was ruined by a direct lightning strike and the tower was covered by a temporary wooden structure. In 1815 the damaged tower was hit by a lightning once again and the temporary four-sloped roof become permanent.
