These rails have been the only way from Europe to Asia for hundreds of years. Now it is being rebuilt. While I was taking pictures, there was an extensive construction nearby. That's why I wanted to make this scene immortal. HDR - Samsung NX-1000
We went camping at the Dungeness Recreation Area in Sequim It is on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. There is a trail in front of the campsite that has unbelievable views of the Strait Of Juan De Fuca. It is a very expansive view that includes the Olympic Mountains, Port Angeles, Washington's San Juan Islands, Victoria B.C and more.

The small flint church with round tower with Norman windows and shingled conical roof was conferred on the abbey of Hyde, Winchester, in A.D.966 by King Edgar. A facsimile of the charter can be seen in the church. The round west tower (one of three in sussex, the others being at St.Michael's, Lewes, and Piddinghoe) and the nave belong to a simple Norman building, probably of early date. A window of early form was uncovered in the North wall of the nave at restoration in 1916, and at the same time foundations of a former North and South aisle and chancel were discovered. A pre-conquest church evidently stood on the site, but there appears to be no architectural evidence of it. There are an interesting series of 13 Century wall-paintings, first noticed in 1916 and since restored. Those on the North wall depict scenes from the life of our lord (mid 13 Century), and those on the West wall a Christ-in-Majesty above other subjects (late 13 Century) which are difficult to read, and four consecration crosses. The modern chancel arch of wood has pieces of the rood-screen, which shows original colouring on the East face, incorporated; the restored late Norman font; a locker with Sussex marble shelf in the North wall of the chancel; good examples of 17 century alter-rails; an inscribed bell dated 1280, the third oldest bell in Sussex and a scratch-dial on a piece of re-used stone low down of the South East buttress.
Unlike RailsConf 2006 there was a sizeable PC contingent at Rails Edge. In fact, no one at my table had a Macintosh. That didn't prevent any of us from feeling bitterly disappointed when we didn't win the MacBook Pro given away by 5runs. The winning ticket was 46394. I had 46391. If any of the people at my table see this photo, drop me a line or look me up on WorkingWithRails
This is a particular example of rail wear, with corrugation on the rail surface. The trams make a roaring noise as they go over. This is a well-known phenomenon, known as 'roaring rails'. It tends to recur when the rails are replaced.
Making the window rails, I'm guessing at how to do it.
My neighbour was trying to tell me redwood frames went out with the ark!, I tried to explain about the romantic notions of "All wood construction"
We both had a good laugh!
