A superb trio of lower quadrant signals stands on Exeter St David's island platform, photographed on 6th October 1979. In the background Class 25 no. 25058 prepares to depart for Barnstaple in the pouring rain.

It's a good five minutes walk through the park and up the hill between the Park Road tenement in the foreground and the grand terraced houses of Park Quadrant.

Using the Lunar Terminator Visualization Tool (LTVT), it's possible to map a 2D image of the Moon onto a 3D sphere and rotate it to get a better look at limb features which would otherwise appear heavily foreshortened, such as Mare Orientale above. The white line represents 90 deg W longitude, i.e. the visible "edge" of the Moon if there was no libration. So yes, it is possible to see the far side of the Moon from Earth (but only a little bit.)
LTVT is available as freeware from ltvt.wikispaces.com/LTVT .
Or, if you find LTVT a little daunting, a similar - but less accurate - result can be achieved by using the 3D Transform filter in Photoshop. J.-P. Metsävainio's procedure on how to do this was published in the January 2005 edition of Sky & Telescope.
1907 postcard view of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. This view was looking north-northwest across Monument Place. The photographer was on the southeast quadrant of Monument Place. He must have taken this photograph prior to 1905 because the eight-story Board of Trade Building was built in that year just north of Christ Church and that prominent building does not appear in this postcard.
The scene includes the Hotel English in the background on the left. Christ Church and the Columbia Club were in the background on the right.
The Governor Morton statue is in the foreground at the lower right. Governor Oliver P. Morton served as Indiana’s governor during the Civil War. His statue was placed in the center of Circle Park in 1884. However, a short three years later, the General Assembly authorized the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. President Harrison returned home to Indianapolis to participate in the laying of the cornerstone for the new monument in August of 1889. Bruno Schmitz had been selected as the design architect and Oolitic limestone from southern Indiana was to be the primary construction material. The monument was dedicated in 1902 and Monument Park became known as Monument Place. Today we know it as Monument Circle. The Morton statue found a new home on the southeast quadrant of Monument Place where it stands today.
William H. English opened the English Opera House a short distance northwest of Circle Park and Circle Street in 1880. He and his son, William Eastin English, added the Hotel English to the opera house in phases in the late 19th century. The structure eventually occupied the entire northwest quadrant of Monument Place from Meridian Street on the north to Market Street on the west. However, the building was demolished in 1948.
Christ Church Cathedral has been in continual use on the northeast corner at Meridian Street since the 1850s. The Columbia Club building in this scene was constructed in 1890, but was replaced in 1925 by a much larger building that is still in use today.

Regent Street is a major shopping street and thoroughfare in London's West End. Named after the Prince Regent (later George IV), it was built by John Nash as part of a ceremonial route from the Regent's residence at Carlton House in St James's to Regent's Park. Starting as Lower Regent Street at its intersection with Charles II Street and Waterloo Place, it runs north to Piccadilly Circus then becomes Regent Street by turning westward, and curves around in a quarter-circle until it is heading north once more. It then continues past Oxford Circus becoming Upper Regent Street and ends at its intersection with Langham Place, Cavendish Place and Mortimer Street.
The Quadrant Centre, later renamed St Peters Quarter.
This is a 1930s rebuild of the original Victorian building.
JJ Allen's furniture store traded from here for many years.
Bar Med [ Mediterranee ], seen here, had previously been Hartleys Cafe Bar and is now the Mary Shelley bar.
Greenford, west London. Amazingly, semaphore signals survive here, directly adjacent to the Underground's Central line, with its automatic train operation and modern signalling! This is the only location on the Underground where semaphores can be found so close by. A Paddington train waits to leave, with the roughly century-old starting lower quadrant signal cleared. 31 August 2012.

Quadrant Range from Ring Road South at the University of Birmingham.
This direction on a sunny November afternoon from the path towards the Lapworth Museum of Geology (wasn't going there this time).
As usual had to find my way into the Chancellors Court, that meant heading round to the right and eventually up close to the Bramall Music Building.

1900-1909 by Sir Aston Webb and Ingress Bell, the D plan group main university
building of which only part were completed to the original design. The Great
Hall opposite the tower is the central axial building, to its front is a square
entrance hall with a giant round arched mullioned window, above an ornate
frieze over the loggia doorways, flanked by tapering square corner turrets
(to rear as well) which are topped by small ribbed domes. Over the hall rises
a low octagonal drum supporting a large ribbed dome and a miniature lantern.
Red brick and stone and buff terracotta dressings, but the conception is more
Byzantine than Renaissance. Behind the domed and galleried entrance hall with
ornate Renaissance grotesque relief carving, lies the Great Hall itself, a
vast tunnel vaulted space with cross vaulted
2 storey side galleries. Rich grotesque carving. Lavish stained glass by
T R Spence. The centrepiece of the hall has 2 storey quadrant links forming
the wing pavilions, 2 to the west but only one completed to the east. These
relate on a smaller 2 storey scale to the Great Hall being square on plan and
with similar ribbed domes but with round corner turrets, wings extending
behind. Flat lintelled window ranges on ground floor and large frescoed
friezes by Anning Bell below the parapets on the first floor level. The link
ranges have segmental arched windows. Modern part to east not of special interest.

Far from completion, these are simply test shots for a commissioned piece based on the Crescent at Buxton in Derbyshire. In fact the model will portray just a quadrant of a whole circle rather than the semicircle of the inspiration. I've just got the facade put together so far - there will be a squared off building at each end, and of course, as yet there is no roof.
