This was the best I could do without trespassing and was taken through the gate of this place, which was formally the Depot of GO Bus & Coach before they relocated to Swanley, but is now a HGV/PCV repairs and servicing workshop, and these were 2 of at least 9 Buses and Coaches that appeared to be being worked on here.
Abu Simbel today is no longer in the same location as it was in ancient times. “Following the decision to build a new High Dam at Aswan in the early 1960s, the temples were dismantled and relocated in 1968 on the desert plateau 64 meters (about 200 feet) above and 180 meters (600 feet) west of their original site,” writes Robert Morkot in an article in the "Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt"(2001, Oxford University Press). The area where they were originally located is now flooded

Running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. GPS, I-Bus, and rearview camera, touch panel, etc. are connected via USB. iPhone and Apple Wireless Keyboard can also be used for controlling the computer via Bluetooth.
The bezel for the LCD is made by Mr. Rich Silva (http://www.mybimmer.net/CarPCLCD.htm). His bezel is beautifully crafted.
The headunit is relocated to the glovebox by extending the cables. It can be hidden when not needed.
Aside from my old MacBook Pro dedicated for this project, the whole modification costs a lot less than the other 2-DIN type systems.
WEEK 47 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: Old Store Closing
(cont.) …to discover just how much damage said liquidation had done to the salesfloor!! Seriously – if you thought the place was empty before, just wait till you see the rest of this photoset. It was crazy. Literally the entire store was reduced to just one tiny quadrant of carpet.
I’m not quite sure how exactly to explain this. Maybe the store continued to dwindle in stock since my previous visits in March and May (perhaps not even receiving new stock shipments during that time, although that seems hard to believe)? Maybe it shipped off most its merchandise to another location (maybe the good stuff went to the new store, and the clearance stayed behind)? Or maybe its liquidation sale began super-duper early, or it could be that they simply sold a heck of a lot of stuff in a heck of a short time. Who knows what really happened, but suffice to say, I was not expecting this magnitude of emptiness whatsoever.

Work crews for SRP, the local electric power company relocate electric utility poles I assume for a future road widening. Within a reasonably short period of time, the new poles were placed further away from the side of the road, the power lines relocated and the old poles were removed.
My apologies for the marginal quality of this photo, taken through the windshield of a car in which I was riding.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
The successful transformation of the former derelict Manchester Docks into the award-winning Salford Quays has been a catalyst for regeneration across the city. The BBC's decision to relocate some of its key departments to Salford Quays and the development of MediaCityUK is clear evidence of this
A very odd looking movement much similar to NSWGR and SRA days of taking locos off to be scrapped, but not it this case.
Running under Sydney Rail Services (SRS) as D994 from Bomaderry Via Meeks Rd, 4501 and 4464 in push pull formation haul 7319, 7333 and 7322 through Bargo on the Main South, en route to Goulburn for a new lease of life as a future project.
7319 had spent most of its life at Cootamundra during the 70s, 7322 based in Orange and 7333 was based in Broadmeadow.
All three units were owned by Manildra before being purchased recently.
In 1997, I was privileged to witness this cheetah mother target her meal, explode into chase, and run the Impala down with no help from her 3 cubs. In this frame, she works to pull the kill into the shade and protection of a large bush. You can see how one of the cubs is already working to start the feast.
Cheetahs are indeed the fastest land animal, and we saw that. Mombo, Botswana, June 1997.
WEEK 43 – TM Relocation Revisited
Skipping back down the furniture department, we arrive at the section of the back of the store where, I believe, Dressbarn’s rear wall was prior to Tuesday Morning’s expansion of the building. At least, that’s how I’m interpreting those floor scars! This would also fit with what we saw of the interior during construction…

The beverage station once figured prominently in the layout of the front right corner of this Kroger, in plain view of the hot food counter at the deli. Thanks to Starbucks, it was moved: tucked away in the corner of the café. Oh well, at least this Korger still has a café, unlike the Olive Branch store. Theirs was removed entirely, to make space for ClickList unfortunately.

24th June 2023: construction progress update photo of The Car Wash Centre in Plymouth, showing a Washtec SoftCare2 Pro and two Washtec SoftCare Pro car washes.
Little progress had been made over the 15 weeks since my previous visit. Block paving works had been completed. Wash bay screens sourced from the decommissioned site at Moto Ferrybridge services had been installed. The two stored SoftCare systems had been relocated into the new wash bays but not installed. As of June 2023, it is believed the project is in its 20th month.
The Minidoka Relocation Center, 15 miles north of Twin Falls and 150 miles southeast of Boise, was also referred to as the Hunt Camp. Minidoka was considered a model environment because of its relatively peaceful atmosphere and population that got along well with the administration. Because it was not within the Western Defense Command restricted area, security was somewhat lighter than at most other camps. But when the internees first arrived, they were shocked to see the bleak landscape that was to be there home over the next three years.
Located on the Snake River Plain at an elevation of 4000 feet, the land is dotted with sagebrush and thin basaltic lava flows and cinder cones. The internees found the environment to be extremely harsh, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees below zero to as high as 115 degrees. They also had to contend with blinding dust storms and ankle-deep mud after the rains.
Minidoka was in operation from August 10, 1942 to October 28, 1945. The reserve covered more than 33,000 acres of land in Jerome County. The camp’s peak population reached 9,397 by March 1, 1943, and it became Idaho's third largest city. Five miles of barbed wire fencing and eight watchtowers surrounded the administrative and residential areas, which were located in the west-central portion of the reserve.
Most of the people interned at Minidoka were from the Pacific Northwest: approximately 7,050 from Seattle and Bainbridge Island, Washington, 2,500 from Oregon and 150 from Alaska, including children or grandchildren of Eskimo women and Japanese men. They were temporarily housed at the Puyallup Fairgrounds in Washington, then sent by train to Idaho. In early 1943, all of the Bainbridge Island, Washington, residents interned at the Manzanar Relocation Center were transferred to Minidoka at their own request because of constant conflict with the internees from Terminal Island in Los Angeles.
The central camp consisted of 600 buildings on 950 acres. When the first internees arrived at Minidoka in August 1942, they moved into the crude barracks even though much of the camp was unfinished and there was no running water or sewage system. The Army insisted on having all Japanese removed from the West Coast at once, and they did not halt the evacuation until the camp could hold no more. The last group of 500 evacuees to arrive at the camp had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, or any available bed space. Waiting in line for many daily functions, especially meals, was common.
The camp’s residential area encompassed 36 blocks and was one mile wide and three miles long. Each block included 12 tarpaper barracks, one dining hall, one laundry building with communal showers and toilets and a recreation hall. Immediately after arrival, the internees were instructed to see the camp physician, and then they received an apartment assignment. Apartments were of three sizes, and where possible, family groups or relatives were placed near each other. Efforts were later made to move people near their place of employment.

WEEK 16 – BAM Southaven Relocation: New Store, Set 1
Sliding down that side pathway a short ways, we find ourselves looking out into the music and entertainment section of the store. In the center, like in Pop World, are various table-style displays for CDs, vinyl, and other related merchandise. The actual bookshelves flanking either side of this area are home to entertainment books (as can be seen on the right) and, I believe, humor (out of view on the left, although you saw it earlier).

My (well, not mine technically) little red shed was not demolished, but moved to another spot about 1000 feet away on the property. Nonetheless, no more photo posed with bikes by the road with the red accent in the background. Anyway, I’m glad it was not smashed to tiny bits!
WEEK 33 – Tuesday Morning Relocation
While it's cool to see out of the rear of the store from the front, let's head around to the back to see all of the action close-up! Above is a shot I had to dig in my archives for: a pic from December 11, 2015, that shows Dressbarn's logo still up on the back of the store even after their departure. I'm glad I got this shot, not only because the sign is gone now, but because the entire wall is too!
Interesting side note... while the storefronts of SLC have signs of all colors, the backs here must have had all red signs at one point, as can be evidenced by the red Marshalls sign remaining. New tenants haven't been held to that rule, however.

WEEK 43 – TM Relocation Revisited
Meanwhile, on the right side of the store, all of the other merchandise has been for the most part removed, with only select quantities of bedding and home décor (seen in the first pic), as well as a sunglasses display, left. The lone two employees working on this day were busy shuffling shelving around, and it was clear that the shoppers, already few in number, who would come in this close to the closing would find little remaining.

The Manzanar Relocation Camp lies at the foot of Mt. Williamson just north of Lone Pine, CA. Up to 10,000 people of Japanese descent were interned here after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the act that caused the United States to enter World War 2.
One of the internees created this monument in the base cemetery during his internment. The inscription reads "Monument for the Pacification of Spirits".
The numerous small bits of glass, rock, and coins left on and around this monument are small tributes left by the visitors. It is hard not to feel that spirit when visiting this location.
Finally, a plaque at the entrance to the camp reads ...
In the early part of World War II, 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry were interned in relocation centers by executive order no. 9066, issued on February 19, 1942.
Manzanar, the first of ten such concentration camps, was bounded by barbed wire and guard towers confining 10,000 persons, the majority being American citizens.
May the injustices and humiliation suffered here as a result of hysteria, racism and economic exploitation never emerge again.
It's been a long time since my last post for this project and, while I'm not as active as I used to be on flickr, I should still tell you some parts of the story.
This had been in preparation for months, we relocated to San Francisco as part of my personal quest for a job that contributes to making this world a slightly better place. Now that I've started work, I realized that, in addition to the great feeling of working on something I deeply care about, I've also been introduced to a bunch of the most talented, smart and friendliest people I've ever met (not to dismiss all the people I've encountered in my life. You're reading this and you're great, really).
To come back to the story of my excuse for the late posting, we've been moving out of our home in Montreal, living temporarely at the best parent-in-law's house and then proceeding on hoping from one vacation rental to the other while we were looking for a permanent rental. As I write this, I've just plugged in my computer for the first time in almost 2 months.
I took out my old dusty D40 for this (it really is small when you think of it). The best part though is that I haven't missed my project's commitment: this post is actually a picture taken during the month of March. I just can't let myself down and not meet my commitments, I've got much more ahead of me and that dedication is a good thing, right?

;-) yea, suuuuuuuuuure, i'll bet you are!
One of the 4 little critters i rescued out of the spa next to the pool , and the pool today! i think i must have a population of frogs with lousy GPS! there are 2 ponds on my property....one rather large one and one small water garden pond with a babbling brook and waterfall....and yet they end up in the pool and spa! This one was by far the prettiest (most handsome???)...2 others looked like this but were brown in color (females??) and the other was a tree frog! there is one large remaining tree frog in the spa, but he was tucked up in the light and refused to cooperate with the relocation procedure....i found out that tree frogs are excellent swimmers, when the one i did finally catch took a flying leap into the water and began to evade my attempts to get him....i thought i was doing him a favor by saving him from drowning....guess i didn't need to worry about that after all!
No frogs or princes were harmed in these antics today, and they are now living happily ever after in their new pond garden home!
31-8-25. Sydney trains operated 80's built Comeng V set V34 is seen as it slowly heads through Wynyard on a rare outing as it runs the Jolly Johnson "V Nevr Goin' Ther' Again" tour. Running under the run number HH29.
Originally, I was set on grabbing my shot of the train at Museum Station. But after a run-in with a staff member that left me feeling quite frustrated, I gave up on that plan and decided to relocate. In the end, I caught the train on its last leg at Wynyard instead.
The general idea of the tour was simple, take a V set to the majority of the Suburban locations where they usually never vist or haven't visted in a long time.
The consist for this service is as follows:

Severance Town Center opened in 1963 as a mall under the name "Severance Center". The mall has since converted to a standard outdoor shopping center. The shopping center is anchored by Home Depot, Dave's Market, and Regal Cinemas. Walmart closed in late 2013 when they relocated to a new supercenter nearby.

Relocated to the village from Kettleby, Ontario, the Charles Irvin's weaver's shop was established in 1855. The shop shared space with both a Temperance Hall and a Print Shop. Equipped with the latest in looms, the shop still operates today in the village using original equipment.

Shopping center at Kings Highway and Chapel Avenue in Cherry Hill, built in 1964. It was originally anchored by Penn Fruit Market. In 1968 it became Ravitz's Cherry Hill Shop 'N' Bag, which became Talk of the Town Market in 1984. It is now CVS after being renovated with a new facade but still houses the offices of Ravitz Family Markets.The Post Office here recently relocated from Ellisburg Shopping Center.
