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.

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.
On this May evening, one of CP's Heritage SD70ACUs made its way to the rear of an autorack originating from the Port of Portland, allowing for some decent late afternoon angles along the North Bank. The end of the train is seen crossing the bridge at Rock Cove on the outskirts of downtown Stevenson. This truss is currently in the process of being replaced.

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!
Here's my friend Leigh, who goes by the moniker Rhymes With Twee (she's very twee) outside of Third Man Records in Nashville from September. Leigh sells a ton of cute things-cards, onesies, tea towels that have various demented vegetables on them.

Getting back to records, I am hoping to go to a few record stores today after Science March. A few of the Record Store releases I am excited about are Nuggets: Come To The Sunshine: Soft Pop Nuggets from the WEA Vaults, Super Furry Animals Fuzzy Logic being released on vinyl, The Rough Guide to Bollywood The Psychedelic Years, and Spoon's Hot Thoughts
Just remember to visit your local indie record stores (hopefully, you still have one) often. Here's an official guide to Record Store Day 2017:

Note: This photo was actually replaced later on with a closer crop. I was hurrying to get to everything this morning and accidentally chose the wrong version. Sorry if you liked the other one better-feel free to unfavorite.
I was able to find everything I wanted today plus two Colleen records and a Loop record! I realize I didn't want to buy the most popular releases as everyone else. I sure hope you found what you all were looking for!

Likened to the approach of some dark, foreboding storm, the familiar low, guttural roar of GEs digging into a grade replaces the once hushed silence that surrounded the community of Sand Patch, PA, as a westbound CSX freight train claws its way to the Summit of the Alleghenies on the morning of October 20, 2025.

About the photograph.
Am y llum
The photograph was taken from the footpath between the Amis Reunis boat and the Observatory Tower on the southern part of the village, right next to the River Dwyryd, and looking toward north.
In the photograph, the tall building is known as the Bell Tower, and parts of the buildings to the right of the photo is known as The Watch House. In the background, you could see The Dome.
About Portmeirion.
Portmeirion is a tourist and historical coastal village located on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, about 2 miles south east of Porthmadog, in North Wales, and owned by a charitable trust.
Some of the buildings already existed around the middle of the 1800s, such as the hotel, along with Castell Deudraeth.
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the chief architect bought most of the buildings. Between 1925 and 1975, he designed, built, and improved the area into an exquisite village, in the style of a Mediterranean feel.
It had since become a most popular tourist location, and often used as on-location filming site for various television shows.
Nowadays, most of the buildings are used as hotels or self-catering cottages, while tourists have a day-out looking around.
About the television show called The Prisoner.
Ynglŷn â'r sioe deledu o'r enw The Prisoner.
The Prisoner is a 1967 British television series about an unnamed British agent who chose to resign from Intelligence services.
In the series, he was imprisoned in a mysterious retirement village at a secret location. Although the village was used for retired secret agents, he was placed there because his superiors and bosses wanted to know why he chose to resign.
In the show, his name was never used, and he was referred to as ”Number Six, as everyone else were given numerical codenames. The mysterious village was overseen by an administrator whom was often referred as Number Two.
Number Six was played by the actor Patrick McGoohan, whom also created the show, as well as writing and directing some of the episodes. He played the main character in 16 out of the 17 episodes. Only played his character in a minor role in one episode, because at that time, he took time off from The Prisoner, to attend a filming of a movie.
In each episodes, different actors played Number Two, and each tried their own attempts to get Number Six to reveal his reasons for resigning. This was often done by means of tricks, drugging, brainwashing, identity theft, and so on.
The usual plot of each episode would have Number Two attempting to use their own means, bring Number Six close to the breaking point, where Six could finally reveal his reasons, but often in the end, Number Six often saw through the attempts, and rebuffed the attempts.
Portmeirion was used as a stand-in filming location for the mysterious village due to its unique style.

Battleship Texas is the last remaining battleship that participated in both World War I and World War II. Over her service life, the Navy repeatedly outfitted the ship with cutting edge technology. Fate spared Battleship Texas as she fought in two wars. Now she is fighting for survival against age and rust.
Powerful weapon
ship launch_800p.jpegLaunching the ship in 1912 (TPWD-Battleship Texas Archives)
The U.S. Navy com-mis-sioned USS Texas on March 12, 1914. She was the most powerful weapon in the world, a complex product of an industrial nation emerging as a force in global events.
In 1916, USS Texas became the first U.S. battleship to mount anti-aircraft guns. She was also the first to control gunfire with directors and range-keepers. These early computers increased firing accuracy.
In World War I, USS Texas joined the 6th Battle Squadron of the British Grand Fleet early in 1918. Her duties included laying a North Sea mine barrage, responding to German High Seas Fleet maneuvers, and helping prevent enemy naval forces from cutting off Allied supply lines.
Late in 1918, she escorted the German Fleet to its surrender anchorage.
Retooled ship

In 1925, the Navy opted to modernize USS Texas instead of scrapping her. This meant con-vert-ing the ship to run on fuel oil instead of coal. Tripod masts and a single stack replaced the ship’s cage masts and two smoke stacks. Torpedo blisters added another layer of protection to the ship’s waterline.
USS Texas received one of the first radars in the U.S. Navy in 1939. With new anti-aircraft guns, fire control and communication equipment, the ship remained an aging but powerful asset in the U.S. naval fleet.
World War II
Baker-Bryant German Shell031_800p.jpgCaptain Baker and Admiral Bryan pose with the unexploded German shell (TPWD-Battleship Texas Archives).
USS Texas became flagship of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet before World War II. She had a close call in 1941 while on "Neutrality Patrol.” German Submarine U-203 had the ship in its sights and asked permission to fire. Adolf Hitler eventually denied permission to engage the ship, or any other U.S. ship.
Fate spared the battleship again when Japanese forces bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941: She was safe in Maine. The United States entered World War II soon after.
During the war, USS Texas fired on Nazi defenses in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
Shortly afterward, German coastal defense artillery near Cherbourg hit the ship twice. The first shell exploded, injuring 12 and killing one. This was the only combat fatality ever aboard USS Texas. The second shell hit the ship, but did not explode. The Navy deactivated this “lucky shell” and returned it to the ship as a good luck charm.
After repairs, the battleship shelled Nazi positions in Southern France before transferring to the Pacific. There she lent gunfire support and anti-aircraft fire to the landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
Final mission
Berthing the ship_800p.jpgTugboats bring the battleship to her final resting place in 1948 (TPWD-Battleship Texas Archives).
After Japan’s surrender, USS Texas carried soldiers stationed across the Pacific home from war.
When she completed her final mission, the state of Texas acquired the ship. On April 21, 1948, Battleship Texas was decom-missioned, and became a memorial ship.
Today, Battleship Texas is a floating museum and the last remaining U.S. battleship of her kind. She stands as a memorial to the bravery and sacrifice of the servicemen who fought in both world wars.
The battleship is both a National Historic Landmark and a National Mechanical Engineering Landmark. Ensuring her future will require a concerted effort from Texas citizens and businesses. Luck has gotten her this far, but now it’s up to Texans to save Battleship Texas.

Lorsque dame Nature nous offre certains spectacles visuels, le temps nous est compté afin de les immortaliser. Ici, j'étais en voiture et me demandais se que j'allais faire. Prendre un autre chemin, aller à la plage minicipale afin de capter cette ouverture dans un ciel en furie ou entrer à la maison. J'ai choisi la plage. Il m'a fallu 15 minutes pour m'y rendre. Enfin sur place, le temps de quelques clics et ce fut fini. Le trou dans les nuages fut remplacé par un torentielle averse :-D

When Mother Nature offers us certain visual shows, time is running out to immortalize them. Here I was in the car and wondering what I was going to do. Take another path, go to the beach minicipale to capture this opening in a raging sky or enter the house. I chose the beach. It took me 15 minutes to get there. Finally on site, the time of a few clicks and it was over. The hole in the clouds was replaced by a downpour :-D

I replaced the statue of the El Caballero de Paris or "The Gentleman from Paris" outside the basilica of San Francisco with Rayleigh Vendt, a ballerina with the Texas Ballet Theatre company. People rub the statue's beard for good luck. You should not rub Rayleigh. That's just impolite! I like that the pigeons are on the ledges as her admirers.

As a 35mm Kodak Ektachrome 200 colour transparency this into the sun shot did not have a lot going for it. However with a bit of work and conversion to black and white an acceptable image of 45101 waiting to depart Leicester with a northbound express has been achieved, 20th May 1978.
Locomotive History
45101 was originally D96 and was built at Crewe Works, entering traffic in April 1961, allocated to Derby MPD. It remained a Midland engine for all of its career predominantly allocated to Toton. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and D96 was the first of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its Stone Vapour steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works in March 1973 as 45101. It was withdrawn still allocated to Toton in November 1986 and dumped in the yard until moved to Vic Berry, Leicester and broken up during September 1988.

I was stunned to see such a big and well-maintained monastery at such a remote place, where it used to take at least four days of trek to reach even a few years back, with just a small village having hardly fifty households.
Yes, Lingshed monastery is one of the oldest remote monasteries in Zanskar valley. It was established in the 15th century around the same time when Kasrsha and Padum monstaries were also established in Zanskar, a region of Ladakh, which still lies cuf off from the mainland in winter due to unbearably low temperature,
The new monstery has replaced the old cave monasteries.

loose cover made today for the sewing machine replacing the original fitted white plastic cover. when not in use the sewing machine sits on a table at the other end of the room opposite a comfy recliner and two seater. much nicer to see bold colour than white plastic :)
the original fitted white plastic cover that came with the machine is under this loose colourful cover www.sewingmachinesales.co.uk/sewingmachineparts/trolley-b...
i bought the new brightly coloured waxed cotton fabric a while ago from a charity shop for £2 loved the orange and bold shapes not knowing what i would do with it, until today :) thought it would make a fun cover
now onwards with the dressmaking ...

So today is the first Turkey Holocaust Day I’ll be spending all by my lonesome. It isn’t really fair to complain, since I opted not to accept any of the invitations that were extended to me. It's just that i take holiday traditions pretty seriously. Meaning that I like to do things the way I’ve always done them, not because I necessarily like the way they were done, but just because, well, that’s how I’ve done them. Coming to NYC a couple years ago was strange enough, but my dad always managed to be here for work around this time, so I was able to maintain some continuity. And of course, there’s always been a Twilight Zone marathon on television. Except that this year my dad’s working in Australia, and they replaced the Twilight Zone marathon with a James Bond marathon (?!). Damn.
So here’s a little Thanksgiving rant. Not against traditions in general, but against my inability to accept, much less embrace, any deviations from them. To dislike change is, like, totally anti-evolutionary. So what the hell is my problem?
P.S. This is for FGR (Fun with Paper)
P.P.S. Guess who left her ISO on too high a setting again? Dammit.
Dinamarca - Hillerod - Castillo de Frederiksborg
***
ENGLISH:
www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/frederiksborg-castle-g...
Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style.
After a serious fire in 1859, the castle was rebuilt on the basis of old plans and paintings. Thanks to public support and the brewer J. C. Jacobsen, the building and its apartments were fully restored by 1882 when it was reopened to the public as the Danish Museum of National History. Open throughout the year, the museum contains the largest collection of portrait paintings in Denmark. It also provides visitors with an opportunity to visit several of the castle's state rooms including the restored Valdemar Room and Great Hall as well as the Chapel and the Audience Chamber which were both largely spared by the fire and contain sumptuous decorations.
***
ESPAÑOL:
El castillo de Frederiksborg (en danés Frederiksborg slot) es un castillo danés construido en Hillerød sobre tres islotes del Slotssø («lago del castillo») entre 1560 y 1630, obra de Hans van Steenwinckel el Antiguo. Se le considera como la mayor figura del Renacimiento danés. Fue nombrado en honor de Federico II.
Se trata del palacio más grande de Escandinavia. Simboliza la potencia de la monarquía absoluta danesa. En efecto la familia real lo habitaba y se consagraba a los reyes cuando Dinamarca era una monarquía absoluta que se extendía hasta Noruega.
En 1839, se destruyó por un incendio y fue reconstruido.
To replace their fireless steam locomotive Glaxo acquired 08678 from BR. Withdrawn from Tinsley in October 1988, it arrived on-site in May 1989 and was in use until rail traffic ceased in April 1994. In these latter years the method of working changed with traffic being exchanged in the sidings next to Plumpton Junction signal box and the Glaxo loco working the full length of the branch. This may have been because of concerns over the condition of the unusual rolling bridge that carries the branch over the Ulverston Canal. On 22 January 1994 08678 was seen making its way along the branch from Plumpton Jn with an assortment of tank wagons conveying acetone and caustic soda. The loco is now part of the WCRC fleet at Carnforth. Scan from 645 Kodak T-Max 400 neg.
Replaced the 3x7 drivetrain with a 2x10. I already had the parts, plus I have multiple wheelsets that will work on all my 2x10 rim brake bikes.

2019 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Silverstone Circuit, near Silverstone, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. Race Day, Sunday 14th July 2019.
About the subject.
This is the British driver Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes AMG-Petronas F1 W10 EQ Power+ single-seat, open-wheel formula car, with number 44 painted on it, which is his personal racing number. Note the white lettering on the tyres (tires), indicating hard compound tyres.
Here, he is seen at the end of the race, driving off the track to get closer to the grandstand, so fans can get a closer view of him waving at them. I took the photo from my front row seat.
At that time, he won his 7th race of the 2019 season, and his 6th at his home race.
Hamilton, whose full name is Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, was born on 7th January 1985, in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. His father bought him a go-kart when Hamilton was at the age of 6, and promised to support him in his racing career.
At the age of 8 in 1993, he started proper karting, and shortly afterwards started winning karting races and championships. One day he asked McLaren boss Ron Dennis for an autograph and also said he wants to drive F1 when he grows up.
In 1998, Dennis offered him a place in the McLaren driver development programme, and by 2007, he got a seat in a Formula One race. Making him, to date, the first and only black driver to drive in F1.
He came so close to winning the World Driver’s Championship in 2007, short of only just 1 point, but by the following year, in 2008, he won his first Championship.
In 2013, he moved to join Mercedes, and went on to win 6 more championships, making a total of 7 titles, equalling Michael Schumacher.
The F1 W10 EQ Power+ was developed by Mercedes-Benz for the 2019 Formula One season, and took 15 wins, 10 pole positions, 9 fastest laps, and the 2019 Constructor’s Championship.
Although Mercedes had been in F1 back in the 1950s, and withdrew from motor racing in 1955, the current Mercedes-AMG F1 Team started 2010 after buying Brawn GP. The team then went on to win 7 Constructor’s Championship.
Race Summary.
The starting grid in the following order was: BOT, HAM, LEC, VER, GAS, VET, RIC, NOR, ALB, HUL, GIO, RAI, SAI, GRO, PER, MAG, KVY, STR, RUS, KUB.
The race started, and on the first lap, the two Haas drivers collided at the exit of turn 5.
One of my photos shows Magnussen in car number 20 with a rear wheel puncture, seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49955865996/
Both cars managed to pit, but Magnussen retired on Lap 6 and Grosjean retired on Lap 9, both because of the damages to their cars.
Bottas and Hamilton briefly fought for the lead, and later, Hamilton would lead during most of the race.
Leclerc and Verstappen pitted at same time on Lap 14. When coming into the pit lane, Leclerc was ahead, but the Red Bull pit stop crew were faster, and for a short moment, both cars were side by side while going through the pit lane, until Verstappen got ahead.
Around Lap 18, Antonio Giovinazzi, whom was running in 9th place, had a mechanical failure and ended up in the gravel at turn 16, forcing out a Safety Car.
My photo of the Safety Car is found here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49877436363/
When the race resumed on Lap 24, Perez and Hulkenberg made contact, Perez pitted for new wings, but would end up last in the race.
Verstappen overtook Vettel for the 3rd place, but when attempting to take back the position, Vettel locked up his brakes and collided into the back of the Red Bull. Both cars spun into the gravel, but managed to get back on the track and continued racing.
Vettel finished 15th but was handed a 10-second penalty for causing a collision, thus ended up 16th.
Lewis Hamilton won the race plus an extra point for fastest lap.
The results: 1: HAM (26pts), 2: BOT (18pts), 3: LEC (15pts), 4: GAS (12pts), 5: VER (10pts), 6: SAI (8pts), 7: RIC (6pts), 8: RAI (4pts), 9: KVY (2pts), 10: HUL (1pts), 11: NOR, 12: ALB, 13: STR, 14: RUS, 15:KUB, 16:VET, 17:PER, Ret: GIO, GRO, MAG.

day three hundred and sixty five.
Explored.
Three hundred and sixty five—what it is to me; it’s planning my day around my self portrait instead of trying to fit time to shoot into my day, it’s loving my camera like a friend, it’s creativity ruts as well as shots I’m still proud of, it’s a journal of my thoughts, it’s a new obsession with my favorite friend, it’s learning to not care what you look like, it’s the joy of finding music lyrics to suit whatever mood you're trying to portray, it’s what forces you to see every single thing as beautiful (and never be able to undo that), it’s rushing to take a photo at 11:50 at night and waking up before the sun, it’s finding motivation in everyone else’s project, it’s truly understanding how simultaneously lasting and fleeting a year really is.
Kaleigh, thank you, thank you. A thousand times over. For getting me started, for keeping me going, thank you.
this is the end,
you gentle friend.
this is the end, my only friend, the end
of our elaborate plans, the end
of everything that stands, the end
no safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes
again.
this is the end,
you gentle friend.
this is the end, my only friend, the end.
it hurts to set you free
but you'll never follow me
the end of laughter
and soft lies
the end of nights we tried to die;
PS: this shot was insane. I had to climb up 50 feet of almost vertical rock in the blazing sun all the while trying not to slip on sea water or get pelted with ginormous waves. I also had to wear a long sleeved shirt in the tropics.
PPS: good luck Adriana. :)
