Rails and tracks still here, but who knows for how much longer? Surprisingly, as recent as 2009 or 2010, these tracks were used to store some old hoppers waiting to be scrapped.
Old rails in the woods. According to Larch Mountain expert Don Nelson: "This is 30 lbs/yard iron rail and was probably salvaged from the early streetcar lines in Portland and sold to the RR for use as rail for sidings. Iron rail cannot take the stress of heavy traffic and you can be witness to that just by looking at how deteriorated it is. Steel rail will wear, but iron rain will spall, crack and disintegrate as you see here."
Dit spoorlijntje liep vanaf emplacement Europoort-West naar de Q8. Werd al niet zo heel vaak meer bereden de laatste jaren, en wordt nu opgebroken*.
*Is niet waar, is alleen opgebroken i.v.m. werkzaamheden aan de ondergrondse leidingen aldaar.

The other day, plenty puffy clouds were grazing across the sky and it turned out to be a great opportunity to experiment with HDR, again.

I don't see much code going on at all, which makes me wonder how easy it is to change away from the default Hobo opinions.

Jingle Rails: The Great Western Adventure is a G-scale model train wonderland containing nine working model trains that wind through a stunning miniature landscape. The exhibit features miniature versions of local treasures of downtown Indianapolis, including the Eiteljorg Museum, Monument Circle, Union Station and Lucas Oil Stadium. The trains then head through the national parks of the American West, passing legendary sites, including grand railway lodges, Northwest Coast Native villages, and wonders both natural and human-made—Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Yosemite Falls, Old Faithful, the Las Vegas Strip, Hoover Dam and much more.

This was my second time in St Margert's Lothbury; the first time was part of Open House, it was a dreadful day, pouring with rain and I noticed the church nesting round the back of Bank of England, to be honest, anywhere would have been good to shelter, but this fine church was better than most.
That was several years ago now, and I thought it about time I paid a return visit.
Although I was at it's doors before ten in the morning, it was already open, and apart from some talking coming from the back office, I was the only person there, at least in sight anyway.

There was a church here in the 12th Century, but there was a grand rebuilding along Perpendicular lines in the early 15th Century. The church was destroyed by the Great Fire, and rebuilt by the Wren workshop, the tower being completed right at the start of the 18th Century. The church sits flush with the other stone-faced buildings on the north side of Lothbury, rather anonymously but entirely at ease with its secular neighbours.
A number of the City of London's churches were lost in the 19th Century as they were demolished and the land sold off for large prestige building projects, the largest and most prestigious of which was the gradual expansion of the Bank of England. St Margaret is now the closest church to the Bank, being in its back yard so to speak, but the wealth that has accrued to it has been of a different kind, for no other City church has benefited to the same extent from the acquisition of furnishings from lost churches.
You enter from the south-west corner, and from the long Galilee area there are entrances into the body of the church and a pleasingly prayerful south aisle chapel. Both are crowded. This is a result of the early 20th Century restoration by Walter Tapper, who seems to have had pretty much a free-run of the stored furnishings from demolished Wren churches. The two stars here are the extraordinarily elaborate late 17th Century font in the south aisle, which came from St Olave Jewry, and the massive wooden screen from All Hallows the Great. This is a great Berlin Wall of a thing, slicing across the church majestically from wall to wall, its upper storey like a great doorcase, the rather alarming eagle waiting to dart down on anyone daring to enter the sanctuary.
Moses and Aaron came from St Christopher le Stocks, the beautiful Anglo-catholic reredos in the south aisle from St Olave Jewry (what a jewel of a church that must have been!) and the vast tester to the pulpit came from All Hallows the Great - it sits rather awkwardly with the heavy screen, but both originally came from the same church of course. They are as solid as the Bank across the road. All in all this is a splendid church as befits its location, full of treasures which did not originally belong to it, which seems curiously appropriate. The church appears to be open every day during the week.

St Margaret Lothbury is a Church of England parish church in the City of London; it spans the boundary between Coleman Street Ward and Broad Street Ward. Recorded since the 12th century, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt by the office of Sir Christopher Wren. St Margaret Lothbury still serves as a parish church, as well as being the official church of five Livery Companies, two Ward Clubs and two Professional Institutes. It also has connections with many local finance houses, all of which hold special services each year.
The earliest mention of St Margaret Lothbury is from 1185.[1] The patronage of the church belonged to the abbess and convent of Barking, Essex until the Dissolution, when it passed to the Crown.[2]
It was rebuilt in 1440, mostly at the expense of Robert Large,[3] who was Lord Mayor that year and is remembered as the Master of whom Caxton served his apprenticeship. It suffered as did so many of London's churches in the Great Fire of London of 1666 and was rebuilt by Christopher Wren from 1686 to 1690.
In 1781 the parish of the church of St Christopher le Stocks, demolished to make way for an extension for the Bank of England, was united with that of St Margaret Lothbury.
The church has exceptionally fine 17th-century woodwork from other now-demolished Wren churches.[4] Among the best are the reredos, communion rails and baptismal font, which are thought to be by Grinling Gibbons[5] from St Olave, Old Jewry, the pulpit sounding board and the rood screen from All-Hallows-the-Great.[6] Two paintings of Moses and Aaron flank the high altar, and came from St Christopher le Stocks when it was demolished in 1781. The organ was built by George Pike England in 1801. It was restored in 1984, stands in its original case and contains nearly all its original pipework.
The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.
