Newbury Bridge, crossing the River Kennet here at Newbury in West Berkshire, was completed in 1772 to replace earlier wooden structures dating from at least the 14th century. Despite appearances it has three arches, the two outer ones being incorporated in adjoining buildings. The Kennet & Avon Canal, mostly built in the very early 19th century, for 87 miles follows the River Avon before connecting to the River Kennet at Newbury, and then on to the River Thames at Reading. As this stone-built bridge pre-dated the canal, there was no provision for a towpath under the bridge. Thus, to haul barges a line had to be floated under the bridge and then re-attached to the horse where the towpath resumed.
After finishing up their work in Oconomowoc on this frigid winter afternoon, The Milwaukee Road's westbound patrol gets underway with a typical consist for the time. The trailing unit, MILW 975, isn't a GP9u, GP9m, GP20m or even an Omaha geep, but a graduate of The Milwaukee Road's 920 Program from the road's West Milwaukee Shops, which was an upgrading of GP9's to GP20 standards. This included lowering the short hood and creating the most unique number box, and removing the EMD 567 V16 prime mover and replacing it with a modern 645 V16 and new D22 generator which gave the little workhorses 2000 horsepower. They were popular locomotives for road or switching duties and had a tough sound to them.
Nylon strings are traditionally tied behind the bridge, but I've found that after years of use strings begin to saw through the wood where they are tied. I've found that using tiny blocks of wood to secure the wood avoids the issue.

Daisy wasn't impressed to find her water bowl replaced by a mug, even though it's the same colour. Happy Caturday!
Northbound Q268 passes the now replaced L&N Searchlights in Sulphur, Ky on a pleasant morning in September 2012.
I replaced my old Nikon F mount macro lens with the Laowa 100mm manual focus Macro lens and tried it out on this cricket. Also used a flash and small diffuser. I missed the focus on the eyes a bit but I still like the picture a lot. More motivation to get it perfect next time :).
The bridge was replaced by the current pedestrian bridge in 1970. You can still see some of the wooden supports for the original bridge as you cross.
A drive led from the ferry to Coed Helen house, thought to date from the early 17th century. The house belonged to a succession of influential families and is now part of a caravan park.
On the hill between the river and house stands a summerhouse, built in the 18th century. At various times, the military used the area for training and keeping watch on the Menai Strait. A battery of guns at Coed Helen was fired on important occasions, including in 1847 to salute Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and their children.
This bridge swings to one side to allow boats to enter or leave the harbour. It replaced a Victorian bridge which itself had replaced a ferry across the river Seiont. It leads from Caernarfon town to the parkland at Coed Helen.

The small building with castellated top, west of the bridge, was built in 1822 for the operator of the Coed Helen ferry. The Pritchard family of boat owners and builders ran the ferry from c.1859. In 1878 David Pritchard was praised for his prompt action to save a militiaman (volunteer soldier) who fell between the quay and boat while boarding. David died, aged 76, in 1884.
The first swing bridge, known as Pont yr Aber, was completed in 1899, amid arguing over compensation for loss of the ferry trade. A gas engine powered the swing mechanism. The bridge was too small to justify hydraulic power, which would have been ideal.
The metalwork was painted “stone colour” (off-white) to minimise heat absorption from sunshine. Excess heat would have distorted the ends of the swing span. White paint was rejected as it would soon have looked dirty. Tolls were levied on pedestrians and carriages.
The "new" Flamborough Lighthouse, built in 1806, is a prominent landmark on the Flamborough Headland in East Yorkshire. It replaced an earlier chalk lighthouse established in 1674. This 1806 lighthouse is still operational and is now a Grade II listed building. It serves as a navigational aid for ships heading towards Scarborough and Bridlington.
Summer of 2018
Returned in February 2023 and roof has been replaced and shrubs removed. Nice to see it in better repair.
The sin of King Nimrod, in the Old Testament, was to build a tower high enough to reach into Heaven so that he could access God.
The myth goes that as the Tower of Babel reached a great height, God was displeased and was concerned that humanity as a unified people would be capable of great things by their working together. So "He" caused great confusion in peoples' minds and sent them running in divergent directions. This confusion caused them to splinter their singular language into dozens of different tongues, from which sprang many nations and differing cultures of the world.
The arrogance of modern technology and science seeks to replace god ( God ) with it's own singular omnipotence, to reach heights unforeseen where every single aspect of life can be known and predicted. That would qualify as 'omniscience' to me, a quality usually reserved for the Biblical God. It's richly ironic how science works SO hard to deny the existence of God while doing everything it can to take 'his' place.

Perhaps Frankfurt's most important escalator from Hauptwache to Zeil was out of service for four weeks and is now being replaced.
I walk on my own to think it over
I can't believe this is real
It all seems so clear
All seems so right
I can't put on words how I feel
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you, no
I'm lost in your eyes
You dream me away from here
Far away, where I can feel no pain
With you i feel safe
I know you keep me out of harms way
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Anytime you doubt with us
Makes you wanna run away
You think of what we have
If it feels like everything goes there away
I'll be standing here
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
there's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Nothing in this world can replace you
There is nothing
There is nothing
There is nothing

Sonnenberg Gardens, also known as Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park, Canandaigua, New York, USA, at the North end of Canandaigua Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. The house and gardens are open to the public every day, May through October.
The property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson, a prominent banker in New York City, and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose father, Myron Holley Clark, was Governor of New York State in 1855. The Clark family was from Canandaigua, NY. Mr. & Mrs. Thompson's main home was in NYC in a large townhouse on Madison Avenue. The Thompsons purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, keeping the name, Sonnenberg (which means "sunny hill" in German). In 1887, they replaced the original farmhouse with a forty-room Queen Anne style mansion. The property also had a 100-acre farm to the east. Sonnenberg's gardens were designed and built between 1902–1919, and originally consisted of nine gardens in a variety of styles.

For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
With the rest of the control point being replaced today and soon, who knows how much longer this one has.
Last week, the Eagle Street Pier, a precinct of restaurants along the Brisbane River, nestled under some very tall high rise buildings closed after about 30 years of being one of the city's prime entertainment and dining areas. The whole area is being wiped away and replaced by an entirely new facility, including even more high rise blocks, restaurants, an upgraded river walk - all of which will take many years to build but should hopefully be done and bedded down well before the 2032 Olympics.
The two paddle wheelers, Kookaburra Queen and KQ II have been based here for years so no doubt these two floating restaurants will be relocating. Not too far beyond where they are tied up, Edward Street comes down from the centre of town and meets the City Botanical Gardens and it is at this point that another of what the Brisbane City Council calls its "green bridges" for pedestrians is being built across to Kangaroo Point.
Even now the city feels like a gigantic construction site and sadly is not always an attractive and easy place to walk around because of that. I guess we can't stop progress and in these difficult economic times, I doubt we should provided it is done tastefully and with recognition of the heritage places.
To replace a part of the Lineas-owned wagons used on the coal flux between Dunkerque and Pont à Mousson, a rake of VTG wagons was drafted in on 31/07/2020 by the means of 49872 Antwerpen Noord - Tergnier.

Thatched roofs have been used in England since Anglo-Saxon times, and in the 19th century were the most common form of roofing until the growth of canals made slate much more readily available and affordable. Thatched roofs are said to last for up to 40 years before needing replacement. In past times it was simply the practice to lay more thatch on the existing roof. This picture was taken in the village of Orlingbury, near our cottage in Northamptonshire. Our roof was once thatched, but it was replaced with slates many years ago, long before we lived here.
I made this one to replace the other one that i did, I had this done last night but i change my mind about the news anchor I added and just made it with none in the award. I may do another version with a news anchor in it.

2V56 Milngavie to Springburn. British Rail Class 334 "Juniper" is a suburban electric multiple-unit (EMU) passenger trains built by Alstom and operated extensively by ScotRail across Scotland's Central Belt. Originally introduced at the turn of the millennium to replace the ageing Class 303 "Blue Trains", these 25kV AC overhead electric trains serve as a core component of Glasgow's suburban network and cross-country commuter lines.
In 1975, C&NW was replacing its fleet of FM H16-66s on iron ore trains in upper Michigan with ex-N&W C-628s. On May 24, 1975, C&NW 6710 (ex-N&W 1109) stands beside F-Ms 1594 and 1693.
The very rapidly being replaced CN Norco bridge feels the weight of another 150 car loaded C738 coal train for Convent Marine - on the Baton Rouge Sub. From all wood to new Steel and Concrete, CN has spent a bundle upgrading bridges to support the carbon rich region. The Shell Norco Refinery makes for an impressive backdrop as it breaths heavy into the early evening and is mostly a CPKC served operation.
Devious Mind - Asteria
No more gachas? I am hoping the "clever" people will come up with something to replace them. Along with quite a few others, I have had a grand passion for the gacha outfits that Chandra Meehan of Devious Mind has produced over these many years. She seemed to have a gacha machine at every event and I certainly contributed to them in a big way. I don't know if Asteria was her last one but it was fairly recent and it will feature in a dance of mine in the very near future as her costumes have done often in the past. This very charming outfit I'm wearing which is only commons, I did not score any rares, is called Asteria in Seaweed tone, far prettier than one would expect from that name. Here's to more Devious Mind costumes in whatever way she chooses to replace her gachas. The hairpiece is a Lode gacha item.
Replacing an earlier one! Light is better and leaves have more texture and variation.

Giralda - Sevilla (Spain).
ENGLISH
The Giralda is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville in Seville, Spain, one of the largest churches in the world and an outstanding example of the Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. The tower is a former Almohad minaret which, when built, was the tallest tower in the world at 97.5 m (320 ft) in height. It was one of the most important symbols in the medieval city.
The tower, an ancient minaret from the Almohad mosque of Seville, is constructed in several distinct parts from different cultures. The Islamic body is the oldest part. It was built in 1184 under the orders of the Caliph Abu Yusuf Ya'qub al-Mansur by the architect Ahmad ibn Baso and finished by Abu-l-Laith As-Siqilli in 1198. Several old buildings, including Roman stones from the ruined city of Italica, were reused to provide construction materials. The Giralda has no stairs; instead, 34 ramps are used to ascend the tower. The ramps were sufficiently wide for the muezzin to ride a horse to the top of the tower to recite the Adhan (call to prayer).
The copper sphere that originally topped the tower fell in an earthquake in 1365. Christians replaced the sphere with a cross and bell. Later, in the 16th century, the architect Hernán Ruiz designed an belfry extension to convert the minaret to a bell tower. At the top of the extension stands a statue representing Faith. According to tradition, Saints Justa and Rufina, the patronesses of Seville, are also the protectors of the Giralda.
The statue stands 4 m (13 feet) in height (7 m (23 ft) with the pedestal) and has crowned the top of the tower since its installation in 1568. The statue was originally called the Giralda ("weathervane") since it twists with the wind on a weathervane. With the passage of time, the tower became known as the Giralda while the statue took the name Giraldillo.
The Renaissance section of the tower also contains a large inscription of Seville's motto, NO8DO. Alfonso X of Castile gave the motto to the city when it continued to support his rule during an insurrection. A rebus, the motto means no me ha dejado or "it did not abandon me" in reference to Seville's loyalty during Alfonso's civil war against his son, Sancho IV.
Covering the top of the tower is the "Lily section" of the tower. This surrounds the enclosure with the bell. In this section, located near the top of the tower, each corner has a basin containing bronze lilies. Below the statue of Faith sits a dome covered with stars.
The Giralda has several sister towers. The same architect, Jabir, who built the Giralda also built similar towers in what is now Morocco. The tower of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh served as a model for the Giralda and its sister, the Hassan Tower in Rabat. Several church towers in the province of Seville also bear a resemblance to the tower, and may have been inspired by the Giralda. These towers, most notably those in Lebrija and Carmona, are popularly known as Giraldillas. Several replicas of the Giralda have been built in the United States: one, now destroyed, in Madison Square Garden in New York and another in Kansas City. The clock tower of the Ferry Building in San Francisco is also based on the Giralda. The clock tower at the University of Puerto Rico's Rio Piedras campus was also inspired by the Giralda.

La Giralda forma parte de uno de los edificios más representativos de Sevilla, la catedral, la más grande del mundo y verdadera joya del gótico y barroco.
En su día fue la torre más alta del mundo con sus 97,5 m de altura y actualmente es la torre más alta de la ciudad de Sevilla y una de las construcciones más famosas de esa ciudad y de toda Andalucía.
La torre, antiguo alminar de la mezquita almohade de Sevilla, está constituida por varios cuerpos diferenciados aunque perfectamente unidos mostrando un ejemplo perfecto de la riqueza del crisol de culturas existente en la ciudad. El cuerpo musulmán es el más antiguo, fue construido en 1184 por orden de Abu Yaqub Yusuf y para su construcción, tal y como se puede apreciar en su base, se emplearon los restos de algunos edificios y sillerías romanos. Se basó en el alminar de la mezquita Kutubia (70 metros) de Marrakech, (Marruecos) y considerada obra maestra del arte hispano-magrebí. También se la considera hermana de la gran Torre Hasan (60 metros) de Rabat.
Como curiosidad cabe destacar el hecho de que la Giralda no tiene escaleras, sino 35 rampas suficientemente anchas para permitir que el sultán subiera por ellas montado a caballo para ver la bella estampa que se divisa.
A raíz de un terremoto ocurrido en 1365 se perdió la antigua esfera original de cobre que coronaba la torre, que fue sustituida por un sencillo alminar. Posteriormente en el siglo XVI se añadió el cuerpo de campanas. Este cuerpo, a cargo del arquitecto cordobés Hernán Ruiz, fue encargado por el cabildo catedralicio con un remate en forma de estatua que representa la Fe.
Originalmente este era el nombre que tenía la figura de la Fe de más de 4 m de altura (7 con el pedestal) que corona el minarete de la catedral de Sevilla y fue instalado en 1568. El nombre de Giralda proviene de los giros que se producían en la figura con los cambios de viento, pues hace las veces de veleta. Con el paso del tiempo, ese nombre pasó a denominar al propio minarete, conociéndose la figura como el Giraldillo.
El siguiente cuerpo que tiene encima del de campanas es el cuerpo de las azucenas, que cuenta con cuatro jarras de azucenas de bronce, una en cada esquina, obras magistrales del conocido y recientemente fallecido orfebre Fernando Marmolejo Camargo, que incluso tuvo el honor de colocarlas por lo que se le conoce cariñosamente como "el prioste de la Giralda". Y encima de este existe otro cuerpo más de arquitectura renacentista formado por el cuerpo de carambolas, cuerpo de estrellas cúpula y cupulín y sobre éste la estatua de la Fe.
El 29 de diciembre de 1928, fue declarada Patrimonio Nacional; en 1987, integró la lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Wisconsin and Southern 701, a rebuilt EMD GP7u built for the Santa Fe, was leading fellow WSOR 702 into Slinger on the way from Horicon to Janesville in 2004.
Newer power has since replaced these old workhorses. The 701 can now be found a little further north on the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad.
Wissor 702 headed over to Michigan and now works for Watco's Grand Elk Railroad.
When I go to White Slough three miles from where I live, I never know what to expect...a given are Gulls and Mallards. Three weeks ago there were American Avocets in breeding plumage...this day the Avocets had been 'replaced' with hundreds of Western Sandpipers in their breeding plumage...once again, my favorite soft rock and very enjoyable shooting!
City Gate is a gate located at the entrance of Valletta, Malta. The present gate, which is the fifth one to have stood on the site, was built between 2011 and 2014 to designs of the Italian architect Renzo Piano.
The first gate which stood on the site was Porta San Giorgio, which was built in 1569 to designs of either Francesco Laparelli or Girolamo Cassar. The gate was renamed Porta Reale (Maltese: Putirjal) in around 1586, before being rebuilt in 1633, probably to designs of Tommaso Dingli. It was briefly renamed Porte Nationale during the French occupation of Malta in 1798, but its name reverted to Porta Reale when Malta fell under British rule in 1800. In 1853, this was once again replaced by a larger gate, which was also known as Kingsgate or Kingsway. These first three gates were all fortified, forming part of Valletta's city walls. The gate was also informally called the Porta di terra (meaning "land gate") since it was the only landward approach to the city.
The last fortified gate was demolished in 1964, being replaced by a Futurist gate designed by Alziro Bergonzo. This gate was then demolished in 2011, and it was replaced by Piano's gate which was completed in 2014.
Aw !!!!! As you can see in my today's photos, their blooms are soooo adorably and deliciously formed, so gracefully colored!!! The plants are so generously built and colored !! The Divine Creator was full of inspiration and joy , really, while creating the blooms of these Beauties : Hydrangeas or Hortansias! ( Hydrangea = Hydra+Gea = Filled with water + earth, in Greek, implies that Hydrangeas are really fond of humid soil and atmosphere!!)
In my garden, they replace in July certain large-bloomed Roses in blooming, while these first ones carry faded rose blooms, and are being prepared for their second wave of blooming!! Therefore, the garden remains colorful non stop!! Which was really my target-aim while organizing its creation and planting in the mixed borders.…
Hydrangeas are generally carrying two types of blooms in various sizes and colors, according to the unique characteristics of each plant! They are either round bloomed-– Hydrangeas Mopheads--- or disc-like bloomed –Lacecup Hydrangeas Macrophyllas!
You can read here in this BBC ’s special gardening website how to grow them successfully!! www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/how-to-grow-hyd...
