A very recognizable symbol of the Pennsylvania Railroad remains in service today in a location far away from a PRR served location. Union Switch & Signal was able to sell a couple of the H-2 pot signals to the Chicago & Illinois Midland for use with crossing warning indicators. This one is at Shops in Springfield, IL at the North Grand Ave crossing. Another one I recall was in Pekin, IL. ETTS may come one day when North Grand becomes a bridge over the NS and I&M diamond.
The pot is displaying the stop indication. Clear is displayed once the crossing warning devices have been activated. This signal does not appear to convey authority across the interlocking.

An Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) was flying with its grand catch with ecstatic style. Moments before it caught the fish and went for a better place for the eating. The wing and head positions of the bird with the captured fish in hand made the frame a charming one. Pics was taken from Purbasthali, West Bengal, India.
HORNBY CASTLE IS A COUNTRY HOUSE, DEVELOPED FROM A MEDIEVAL CASTLE, STANDING TO THE EAST OF THE VILLAGE OF HORNBY IN THE LUNE VALLEY, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND. IT OCCUPIES A POSITION OVERLOOKING THE VILLAGE IN A CURVE OF THE RIVER WENNING. THE CASTLE IS DESIGNATED BY ENGLISH HERITAGE AS A GRADE I LISTED BUILDING.
IT IS THOUGHT THAT THE CASTLE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR THE NEVILLE FAMILY IN THE 13TH CENTURY; THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY DATE OF THE BASE OF THE TOWER AT THE BACK OF THE CASTLE. THE POLYGONAL TOWER RISING FROM THIS BASE DATES FROM THE 16TH CENTURY.
THE CASTLE IS CONSTRUCTED IN SANDSTONE RUBBLE AND IT HAS SLATE ROOFS. ITS ARCHITECTURAL STYLE IS PERPENDICULAR. THE PLAN IS IRREGULAR. THE BUILDING IS MAINLY IN TWO STOREYS, AND MUCH OF IT HAS A BATTLEMENTED PARAPET. THE ENTRANCE FRONT FACES SOUTHWEST AND IS ALMOST SYMMETRICAL, WITH SEVEN BAYS. THE LATERAL BAYS PROJECT FORWARD, AS DOES THE CENTRAL THREE-STOREY PORCH. ALL THE WINDOWS ARE MULLIONED, OR MULLIONED AND TRANSOMED. THE LATERAL BAYS HAVE BAY WINDOWS, THE UPPER FLOORS OF WHICH ARE CANTED. THE LEFT BAY HAS AN ADDITIONAL PAIR OF WINDOWS ABOVE THE BAY WINDOW. ON EACH SIDE OF THE PORCH ARE TWO BAY’S CONTAINING VARYING TYPES OF WINDOWS. THE PORCH HAS AN OCTAGONAL TURRET ON THE LEFT AND A DIAGONAL BUTTRESS ON THE RIGHT. IN THE MIDDLE STOREY IS AN ORIEL WINDOW, ABOVE WHICH IS A THREE-LIGHT WINDOW. BEHIND THE PORCH, AND SLIGHTLY OFF-SET TO THE LEFT, IS A SQUARE TOWER, AND TO ITS LEFT IS THE TALLER, NARROWER, POLYGONAL TOWER. THE WINDOWS IN THE SQUARE TOWER INCLUDE A PARTLY BLOCKED VENETIAN WINDOW. THE COURTYARD CREATED IN THE 20TH CENTURY IS BEHIND THE THREE RIGHT BAYS.

Is it because of what happened in 1989 that the tian'an men square is full of security forces? Or maybe just a way to show that the people here has no reason to feel in danger? I would better consider the first option but I guess the official reason won't match with my guess...

So I was standing in front of this great stadium trying to take a decent shot. It was the coldest day of the year with -10C - for our friends from Siberia this might sound more like summer temperature, but I thought it was nevertheless uncomfortable. The Allianz Arena has been photographed billions of times, but if you live in Munich it is mandatory to have a shot of this great architecture in your set. I hope that you find this version nevertheless ok.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Els darrers i dramatics combats de la batalla es produiren en una posició vital per protegir la retirada del exèrcit republicà: Los Raimats, al nord de La Fatarella. Intuint la cabdal importancia d'aquesta posició, els republicans la fortificaren a consciencia, amb moltes trinxeres conectant vuit bunquers de formigó, la majoria per ametralladores però com a mínim un per un canó antitanc. L'assalt final començà el 14 de novembre: les tropes feixistes ocuparen La Fatarella i continuaren cap a Raimats amb molts tancs. El comandant alemany Gustav Trippe va morir allà. Els defensors de la XV Brigada perderen algunes posicións (Cota 554), però aguantaren, mentre la resta del exercit creuava l'Ebre per Flix i Riba-roja.
El 15 de novembre s'incrementà l'atac, amb molta artilleria i aviació. Els tancs T26 dispararen directament contra les troneres dels bunquers per matar els defensors. Això va permetre que la infanteria assaltés les darreres defenses de la Cota 562, morint casi tots els defensors. Riba-roja i Flix varen caure el dia 16, però l'exercit del Ebre no havia estat aniquilat.
Aquest bunquer, rebentat després de la guerra per aprofitar el ferro (com en la majoria de bunquers d'aquell moment), forma part de la primera linea de Los Raimats, que va caure el mateix dia 14.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
The last and dramatic combats of the battle took place in a vital position to protect the retreat of the Republican Army: "Los Raimats", north of La Fatarella. Sensing the paramount importance of this position, the Republicans conscientiously fortified it, with many trenches connecting eight concrete bunkers, most armed with machine guns but at least one with an anti-tank gun. The final assault began on November 14: the fascist troops occupied La Fatarella and continued towards Raimats with many tanks. German Commander Gustav Trippe died in the first assault. The defenders of the XV Brigade lost some positions (hill 554, were this bunker stands), but held on, while the rest of the Republican Army crossed the Ebro by Flix and Riba-roja.
On 15th November the attack increased, with much artillery and aviation bombing. T26 tanks fired directly at the bunkers' embrasures, killing the defenders. This allowed the infantry to assault the last defenses of Hill 562, killing almost all the defenders. Riba-roja and Flix fell on the 16th, but the Ebro army had not been annihilated.
This bunker, blown up after the war to take advantage of the iron (as in most bunkers at the time), is part of the first line of Los Raimats, which fell on the 14th.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

This snowy egret was standing in a "spillway" which fills with water when we have enough rain. When it fills with water, it also fills with things birds like to eat, and thus birds. On this particular March morning, I was in position before daylight and was treated to feeding egrets, herons and Ibis. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas. 3/2016

Pennsy Position Light Farewell Tour - Part 5
This is not a new signal location, this is a repeat of the signals seen in this post:
So, after getting our fill of Johnstown and doing a little exploring some new areas John decided it was time to relocate back to Summerhill and the famed Automatic 263.7 signals for another round. The Pittsburgh Line didn't dissapoint as we shot 6 trains in the span of 45 minutes back here!
Nice variety too in both motive power and train types. Alas I don't know the symbols of any of these (if you care about that sort of thing), but here are six shots, one of each train shot in the 45 min span!
Man, the old PRR mainline sure is one hopping railroad!
Train #5 was a little varnish in the form of Amtrak's westbound Pennsylvanian train #43 on Track 3.

It's about time I welcomed you to one of the most fascinating places that we explored while traveling over the past 15 months, it's the World Heritage Site of Český Krumlov. Which is in the South Bohemian region of Czech Republic. This is St. Vitus church. This church dates back to the early 15th century and has Gothic and Pseudogothic styles.
We loved exploring this town that is almost completely surrounded by a river bend in the Vltava. Above the city there sits a breathtaking castle, which has views to die for.
I'll be posting a photograph of the city from up above in the next few days. Enjoy this one and please see this one Large!

I positioned myself with the sun at my back in order to capture the iridescence colors. I then pre-focused on isolated floral stems on the outer perimeter of the shrub in hopes that the hummers would select them. I watched this floral shrub for the better part of a week and got lots of quality shots

She decided to wear her new 5inch heels today to her job on the shop floor of a hardware store. They hurt after she's stood all day in them but the customers like them and so does her boss. The assistant manager position is opening up and she wants to impress.
After her 9 hour shift she was so looking forward to getting home and soaking her aching feet. It was then her husband rang and reminded her she needed to do the weekly food shop!
