More of the GM FuturLiner. They couldn't have placed it in a more difficult spot. Plenty of columns a and a close wall behind.
River Severn tug "Severn Progress" at Gloucester on 8th April 2012.
The tug (originally named "Progress") was built in 1931 by Charles Hill & Sons of Bristol, the prefix Severn being added later to conform to the general naming policy adopted by her owners, the Severn & Canal Carrying Company. "Severn Progress" originally had a 100 bhp Kromhout semi-diesel engine which required heating with a blow-lamp to get it hot before starting. In later years this was replaced by a Lister air-cooled diesel that starts with the push of a button. Also in the early days, the steering position was an open well, and it was many years later before a proper wheel-house was fitted.
Severn Progress was mainly used for towing barges and canal boats on the River Severn between Gloucester and Worcester with some trips extending to Stourport. A typical trip was to leave Gloucester early one morning, towing whatever loaded barges and canal boats needed to go up river, stay overnight at Worcester and then return with empty boats the following day. When it was necessary to go all the way up to Stourport, it was still expected that the tug would return on the second day. The usual cargoes for the barges were grain, timber and petroleum, and the canal boats carried grain, metals, chocolate crumb and a wide range of general cargoes that had come on the steamers arriving at Bristol and Avonmouth.
Following nationalisation of the canals in 1948, Severn Progress became part of the British Waterways fleet and continued towing on the Severn until commercial traffic died out in the late 1960s. Later she moved to the Kennet & Avon Canal to help with restoration and maintenance work between Hanham Lock and Bath. After this role ended in 1991, Severn Progress came to the National Waterways Museum, where she is looked after by the Friends of the Museum who use her for tug handling courses and occasional towing jobs.

Here's a comparison of my progress this year in SL Photography! I learn something new every time I set up a new shot. Who knows what 2020 will bring? :)

Il super condominio Puglie... er mejo ! Lavori in corso... Flat house Puglie, the best ! Work in progress...
This is the beginning of new project. I will document the progress of the Jeep with photos so we can see the transformation of the CJ-7.
After a few days' work (on and off, not constant!), this is how far I've progressed on the bargain Michèle Wilson wooden jigsaw puzzle . As you can see, I've more or less completed the aviary and now have the greenery to assemble. I have a feeling that the hardest part is yet to come...
The push fit makes it slow going: every time I insert a piece it dislodges all the ones around it.
So far it seems to be complete, but only time will tell.
I downloaded a copy of the image which has helped enormously, if only so I can check that I'm on the right track.
I can understand why this puzzle ended up in a charity shop, it's a stinker!
Mike's working on a 1000pc (cardboard) mini-puzzle while I'm assembling this one, I have a feeling he'll finish first!
Standing in the colliery yard at Beamish Museum is this absolute masterpiece of motor car preservation, a 1901 four seater, made by The Progress Cycle Co. of Coventry and UK registered EU 12.

If you're in Cheltenham this week you should definitely come to Beechwood Arcade where I am part of an exhibition featuring some very talented folks. The exhibition's called Making Progress and runs from Monday - Sunday with the opening on Monday 4 - 6pm.
This is the logo I designed for it.

I've made a little progress on my embroidery piece. I had planned a limited palette for this but I think it made need a few more colors. I have a pretty brown and am thinking about adding green. I'm not sure how the green will look with these colors and I have already used the teal in places that make sense for the green.
So, last night I thought about it instead of working on it.
I don't like being "stuck". Sometimes decisions are hard for me.
In 1986 a twin-car set consisting of trailer no 682 and motor car no 672 reverses in the centre road at North Pier. The conductor has just re-positioned the trolley pole.
This set is now part of Blackpool's heritage fleet and the cars have regained their original numbers - 272 and T2 - and original cream livery.
Next layer of petals under construction. The second layer of petals are chain stitch in the same colours as the inner petals.
Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolino, 390119 "Progress" - wearing its unique Pride livery - heads away from Norton Crossing with the delayed 9S80 14:43 Euston to Edinburgh Waverley.
The service was originally for Edinburgh, but diverted to Glasgow due to points failure at Carstairs. It was also 50 late at this stage having been held at Crewe, possibly due to the issues in Scotland.
I made some good progress the last week. the upper part of the ship also needs to have LEDs installed.
A red brick wall stands where once there was earth. The last remnant of what grew there — a tree’s shadow — flits across the surface, ephemeral, rootless, and fading.
This is what remains of a landscape once protected, once green. The tree is not pictured, only its echo. The wall is not art, only assertion. It is the nature of shadows to vanish when the light moves on. And it is the nature of modern “progress” to mistake replacement for improvement.
After the Second World War, Britain’s Green Belts were established not as decoration, but as covenant — breathing space for generations unborn. Their erasure, now dressed as necessity, is a slow forgetting. The houses may be needed. But the trees were too.
This image is not a cry of rage. It is quieter than that — a whisper of what was, and what may never be again.
Let it be a witness.
