Track laying at the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway to re-instate the section of line between Stonehenge Works and Mundays Hill. When the line was in commercial use part of the section was double track and the opportunity has been taken to extend that distance. The regular, volunteer track gang are being assisted by a team from Transport For London. These people have been recruited and trained to maintain the Elizabeth Line (formerly Crossrail) but as yet trains are not running.
In the shadow of Mount Longdon, I have called this a sniper position for a number of reasons:
1. It is very well concealed and could only likely protect a single man.
2. The arc of fire from the rear opening does not appear to cover anywhere of tactical importance.
3. A small opening to the front, or closed end) is in the direction of Wireless Ridge and Moody Brook, and the open ground. The iconic image of Marines walking along the track flying the Union Flag was taken in that valley, just over 1km away. They would have been vulnerable to fire from this position.
We put the BAe way out in the boonies (Position 4 is more than 1/4 km from the terminal) because we don't have the tow bar required to move it on our ramp. C-GRNT

From the look of all the rail some heavy track engineering is taking place in this location.
Positioned above the beach approach at Weybourne Hope and built into the cliff this Shellproof Vickers Machine Gun Emplacement is semi-sunken with added roof camouflage, all openings have been bricked up. There is a west facing Large Embrasure which has a chamfered roof line above, the Embrasure opening would have been reduced in size with added Sandbags for protection. There is probably steps leading down to a Full Height Entrance, but has been backfilled over the years, and an external Blast Wall gives protection. The rear of the Gun Emplacement as been exposed by coastal erosion, and it's probably just a matter of time before she topples over the cliff !
The Vickers Machine Gun Emplacement is constructed with brick-built shuttering and poured concrete, and is built to a Shellproof specification with 51in walls, it's a rectangular square plan of approximately 14ft x 14ft with chamfered corners on the front face and roof line. There is a forward facing Large Stepped Embrasure to house a single Machine Gun, the Entrance is to the left of the Embrasure within the line of fire, this is protected by a large and thick Blast Wall. Inside the Gun Emplacement behind the Large Embrasure is a Large Concrete Table which was used to mount the Vickers Machine Gun on its Tripod. There is also up to three Embrasures/Loopholes for either Rifle or Bren Light Machine Gun use. In the rear wall is an Air Vent. Normally positioned in pairs as a 'Two Gun Section' and often on steep forward facing slopes, usually semi-sunken with Earthen Camouflage covering their Position.

The railway formed a part of the metre gauge Jodhpur Railway and originally extended as far west as Hyderabad which it reached in 1901. The stretch westwards from Mirpur Khas was converted to broad gauge several years ago. The metre gauge lines were separated from the Indian metre gauge system as a result of the partition in 1947. Through services ceased in 1965 during the Indo-Pakistan war that year and the stretch crossing the border east of Khokhrapar was lifted.
The line now exists primarily to serve the numerous army facilities along what remains a volatile border area. In 2004, Pakistani newspapers carried reports of a high level meeting between Pakistani and Indian officials about the proposed reopening of the line across the border. The Pakistani position was that the railway eastwards from Mirpur Khas needed complete reconstruction and should be rebuilt as a broad gauge line since the Pakistanis have no modern metre gauge equipment. They estimated that the work would take about two and a half years. The Indian position was that they could supply metre gauge equipment and diesels as needed to enable through trains to restart quickly – possibly as soon as September 2005.
In the meantime the railway remained something of a time capsule of how the Indian metre gauge must have been in the days of the British Raj. It is worked solely by BESA standard SP class 4-6-0’s designed in 1903, and by IRS standard YD class 2-8-2’s designed in the 1920’s.
Start with first position. First position is arguably the easiest basic ballet position. Stand with your feet together, ensuring your heels touch. Then, turn each leg outward so your feet are perpendicular to your torso. Keep your heels together, but allow your feet, calves, and thighs pivot until your feet form a straight line parallel with your shoulders. The end stance is first position.
- Your whole leg from your thigh to your feet be turned outward. The end result will turn your feet in a straight line on the floor, with your heels in the middle.
- First position for the arms looks like you’re holding a beach ball in the middle of your stomach. Keep your fingers about 4 inches (10 cm) apart, and tilt your hands just slightly toward your face.

These rudimentary field defences were constructed to oppose a British approach to Stanley from the west. They are very exposed and have no protection from fire, but their position low against the earth banks would have help hide their whereabouts until the last moment.
A trip to Independence Lake Rd. it's an annual place to visit in mid-October. We usually find new ways to look at the same old trees. One of the attractions is a group of aspens that turn orange whereas most are yellow.

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, straddling the Bosporus Strait, the boundary between Europe and Asia. It is considered the country's economic, cultural and historic capital. The city has a population of over 15 million residents, comprising 19% of the population of Turkey, and is the most populous city in Europe[c] and the world's sixteenth-largest city.
The city was founded as Byzantium in the 7th century BCE by Greek settlers from Megara. In 330 CE, the Roman emperor Constantine the Great made it his imperial capital, renaming it first as New Rome (Ancient Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη Nea Rhomē; Latin: Nova Roma) and then finally as Constantinople (Constantinopolis) after himself. In 1930, the city's name was officially changed to Istanbul, the Turkish rendering of εἰς τὴν Πόλιν eis tḕn Pólin 'to the City', the appellation Greek speakers used since the 11th century to colloquially refer to the city.
The city served as an imperial capital for almost 1600 years: during the Byzantine (330–1204), Latin (1204–1261), late Byzantine (1261–1453), and Ottoman (1453–1922) empires. The city grew in size and influence, eventually becoming a beacon of the Silk Road and one of the most important cities in history. The city played a key role in the advancement of Christianity during Roman/Byzantine times, hosting four of the first seven ecumenical councils before its transformation to an Islamic stronghold following the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 CE—especially after becoming the seat of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1517.[ In 1923, after the Turkish War of Independence, Ankara replaced the city as the capital of the newly formed Republic of Turkey.
Istanbul was the 2010 European Capital of Culture. The city has surpassed London and Dubai to become the most visited city in the world, with more than 20 million foreign visitors in 2023. The historic centre of Istanbul is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city hosts the headquarters of numerous Turkish companies, accounting for more than thirty percent of the country's economy.
Neolithic artifacts, uncovered by archeologists at the beginning of the 21st century, indicate that Istanbul's historic peninsula was settled as far back as the 6th millennium BCE. That early settlement, important in the spread of the Neolithic Revolution from the Near East to Europe, lasted for almost a millennium before being inundated by rising water levels. The first human settlement on the Asian side, the Fikirtepe mound, is from the Copper Age period, with artifacts dating from 5500 to 3500 BCE. In the European side, near the point of the peninsula (Sarayburnu) there was a settlement during the early 1st millennium BCE. Modern authors have linked it to the possible Thracian toponym Lygos, mentioned by Pliny the Elder as an earlier name for the site of Byzantium.
There is evidence suggesting there were settlements around the region dating as far back as 6700 BC, and it is hard to define if there was any settlement on exact spot at city proper established, but earliest records about city proper begins around 660 BC when Greek settlers from the Attic town of Megara colonized the area and established Byzantium on the European side of the Bosphorus. It fell to the Roman Republic in 196 BC, and was known as Byzantium in Latin until 330, when the city, soon renamed as Constantinople, became the new capital of the Roman Empire. During the reign of Justinian I, the city rose to be the largest in the western world, with a population peaking at close to half a million people. Constantinople functioned as the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which effectively ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Constantinople then became the capital of the Ottoman Turks.
The population had declined during the medieval period, but as the Ottoman Empire approached its historical peak, the city grew to a population of close to 700,000 in the 16th century, once again ranking among the world's most popular cities. With the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, that country's capital moved from Constantinople to Ankara (previously Angora).

This is a photograph from the 3rd running of the Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 7th of October 2018 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. Participants are advised to use this long distance race as a preparation for the Dublin City Marathon and to pace themselves accordingly. This year was the third year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons several times per year. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshade, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The locally famous Blackshade bridge at 17 miles provided the largest climb of the day. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. The south Meath countryside around the course looked on a beautiful with some lovely quiet traditional 'Irish'-type roads to run on. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race (by Paul Mahon and Outfront Events) was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. As usual the weather is the only variable that cannot be controlled. Subsequently, the only negative from a runners' view was the very very strong headwind from the turn at 6 miles right through Killyon and Hill-of-Down. However, other parts of the course offered a strong tailwind and flat terrain.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race mostly taken on the Ashfield road at the 25KM mark outside near our home.
