Public housing apartments in Northcote, Victoria. These rather interestingly designed apartments replaced some older ones which were quite run down. I think the new ones were built around 2010. The building on the right hand side of the picture is part of a fairly new privately developed complex. Taken at twilight hence the bluish effect.
Built in 1865 in Victorian Carpenter Gothic style, the former Holy Trinity Church of England can be found on a rise along Morses Creek Road in the little alpine town of Wandiligong. Built of weatherboard it is a charming example of wooden churches built all over Australia in little country towns. Unusually, it features Elizabethan loopy bargeboard gingerbreading. It is unpretentious and looks like a picturesque country village church, nestled into its surrounds which are full of tall elm trees and surrounded by a pretty white picket fence. The church was last used as a place of worship in the mid 1960s. Originally containing rather ornate stained glass which has subsequently been replaced with plain glass windows, the former Holy Trinity Church of England has since been converted into a residence, named McKenzie. Although an extension with skylights has been put at the rear of the building, the designs are sympathetic with the original 1865 building and are not visible from Morses Creek Road.
Victorian Carpenter Gothic style emerged where timber was the mail building material or where transport and portability were considerations, and most buildings were simplified versions of Victorian Gothic buildings, although some did have very beautifully ornamental wooden gingerbreading and fretwork.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Boat Break!
Here's another rare non train photo here at Dave Blaze Rail Photography. I've shared a photo of this vessel before because I caught her on my first visit to the region in May and was fortunate to see her again on this October trip.
As I've mentioned this can kind of count as a 'rail photo' since this laker is actually a railroad owned asset....for now. The Philip R. Clarke is leaving Lake Superior and starting into the Duluth Entry as it passes the Duluth South Breakwater Outer Light at the tip of the south pier. This lighthouse was completed in August 1901 replacing the first which became operational in 1874. The fourth order Fresnel lens (made in France in 1877) from the original lighthouse was transferred to this tower and remained in operation until 2014 when it was replaced with an LED beacon and that lens was placed on display in the nearby Lake Superior Marine Museum. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
As for the Clarke, they are headed to CN Dock 6 to load iron ore pellets destined for Toledo. If the paint scheme of this vessel reminds you of a modern CN Gevo you wouldn't be wrong and that's why this counts (per my arbitrary rules) as a rail photo. The Clarke is owned by Great Lakes Fleet whose parent company is indeed the Canadian National which came to own the company in 2004 when it purchased Great Lakes Transportation Company from Transtar. Their primary motivation was to acquire the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Railway and Elgin Joliet and Eastern Railroad but ending up with the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad and the Great Lakes Fleet and associated docks as part of the package deal!
The Clarke is one of nine self unloading bulk carriers in the company's portfolio and is of the classic laker design with the superstructure and bridge on her bow. Launched in 1952 she is oil fired and steam driven and was 647 ft long when built but lengthened to 767 ft in 1974. To learn more I direct you to this links.
For info on the Great Lakes Fleet company here is a nice history and below that a downloadable PDF brochure from the CN.

And here is a great history of this classic septuagenarian vessel:

As an aside, the CN put the company up for sale in 2022 so if they ultimately sell the vessels and docks I guess this won't qualify as a train photo anymore!

Charlecote Park is a stately home a few miles east from the town of Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire.
Sir Thomas Lucy I built the grand, new brick house in 1558, replacing a medieval structure. Queen Elizabeth I visited the house in 1572, staying in what is now the drawing room. The original two-storey gatehouse from this period remains largely unaltered.
n the 1760s, the renowned landscape architect Lancelot "Capability" Brown was commissioned to redesign the parkland, sweeping away the formal gardens in favour of a naturalistic landscape, including a cascade and ha-ha.
In the 1820s, George Hammond Lucy and his wife Mary Elizabeth inherited a run-down estate and undertook extensive renovations. They transformed the house in the Elizabethan Revival style, collecting art and furniture to evoke its original grandeur. The current interiors largely reflect their Victorian vision of a Tudor house.
Facing financial pressures, the family began selling off parts of the estate in the early 20th century. In 1946, Sir Montgomerie Fairfax-Lucy transferred the house and remaining parkland to the National Trust in lieu of death duties, ensuring its preservation. The house is a Grade I listed building and remains a family home, with the family still residing in a wing of the house.

The stairs replace the street in the location of Mozart Street on the west side of Hermann, Missouri just below St. George Catholic Church, due to the steep hillside. The house, with multiple porches and a turret (and a pyramid roof outhouse on the west side) was built by local physician W.C. Wessel in 1917.
I finally replaced the knob that pulls the peg holding the bottom of the film spool of my Seagull 203, and got the rangfinder to not get stuck halfway to close focus, so I had to take it for a tour right away, despite a rather disappointing weather.On the minus side, it's not a super Isolette. On the plus side, it has a coupled rangefinder, and I can actually afford it. The lightmeter is intriguing, but it actually works pretty well. The advance lever, on the other side, sounds like a good idea only until you realize it's prone to advance film inadvertantly.

Excerpt from facebook.com:
Križanke Church - In the 13th century, the Order of Teutonic Knights, settled at the upper end of the Novi trg square and built a church there. The only surviving item from the church is the famous relief of the Madonna of Krakovo from the church's main portal. The relief, created between 1265 and 1270, is now kept at the National Gallery of Slovenia.
The present Križanke Church was built between 1714 and 1715 by Domenico Rossi, one of the leading Venetian architects of the time. This indicates that the only church of the cross located on Slovenian territory was of great importance not only to the Knights of the Cross but also to the imperial court in Vienna, which donated interior furnishings. Side altars were painted by the court painters Martin Altomonte and Anton Schoonjans. The main altar painting, a work by Johann Michael Rottmayr which burnt down in the 19th century, was replaced by a painting by the Viennese painter Hans Canon in 1859.

E15 is the first of two Go Ahead London buses to join the Commercial fleet as a converted open topper for the fleet. E14, being the other bus to be converted, is yet to be completed.
The open top conversion has come with USB chargers fitted on both floors including waterproof ones for the outdoor area. Instead of the typical GENERAL livery applied to the Commercial open toppers, the standard commercial livery has been applied instead.
E14 and E15 will be in the fleet in addition to WVL83, WVL93 and PVL224, but will subsequently replace two of them by the end of the year. Additionally, it is planned that WVL83, WVL93 and PVL224 will remain on this year's Southend 68 service with E14 and E15 being used on other private hire and event work only.
Western Maryland Scenic Railroad's big Baldwin 2-6-6-2 #1309 bursts out of the west portal of the 914 ft. Brush Tunnel (MP 172.2), hauling a short coal drag upgrade toward Frostburg, MD. This image was captured in November of 2022, when the locomotive was performing on a photo shoot, organized by Trains Magazine.
Brush Tunnel, located in the town of Corriganville, MD was built in 1911 by the Western Maryland Railway and in its heyday, was a double-track tunnel. Today, one of the tracks has been removed, replaced by a bike path and hiking trail known as the "Great Allegheny Passage." Although the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad and the bike path seem to co-exist pretty well, this tunnel is not a place for a biker to be when a train is approaching. The big mallet is equipped with a mechanical stoker and when the engine is being actively fired, the rain of soot, cinders and noxious fumes near the track can be pretty intense.
A few changes at the Stagecoach Whithorn outstation since my last visit three years ago. The Volvo B7 Plaxton Profile's have gone replaced by three Volvo B9R Plaxton Elites for the School services. Here AE10 JTV backs into the depot after working a School contract.

Soo Line 700 is a restored EMD GP30 diesel locomotive originally owned by the Soo Line Railroad. It was built in 1963 as a part of the "second generation" diesel power that replaced older locomotives. In 2005 it was restored and repainted and began service on the North Shore Scenic Railroad.
Off to the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana tomorrow for the State Science Olympiad competition. I'm the official chaperone for 30 High School and Jr High kids.......who da thunk it. When I was in High School I was the chaperone's nightmare. At least I'll be one step ahead of 'em, I hope........
Bottom line; I'll have more interesting photos this weekend!
The Leighton Buzzard Light Railway was opened in 1919, using surplus war equipment. It was used to transport sand from 6 quarries, over a distance of up to 4 miles, to the mainline railway, for onward distribution.
Initially, the line used 2 steam locos, but these did not perform well on the tight curves used on the line. In 1921, steam was replaced by several diesel locomotives, built by the Motor Rail company.
The last sand train ran in 1969 and since then, has been purely a heritage line since. Some of the internal lines in the quarries continued in use until as late as 1981.

Lincoln Cathedral has spent to last eight months or so replacing the old floodlights with a new set of 500 LED floodlights that will use 80 percent less electricity. It also means that various colours can be used to highlight different events.
The engineers are just fine tuning the arrangement, working through the night, taking photos of the effects and then making the adjustments to get everything just right for the big official unveiling later this month. Will try to get some coloured images tonight.
The PL 17 replaced the Dyna Z and was presented on June 29, 1959. For model year 1961 a cabriolet was added followed by an estate version in April 1963.
Late 1963 the PL 17 range underwent a minor facelift for the 1964 model year.
Responsible for the avant garde design of the PL 17 and his predecessor Dyna Z was Louis Bionier (1898-1973) in cooperation with André Jouan.
In 1965 Citroën became full owner of Panhard. In the same year production of the PL 17 has ceased.
I came across with this old Panhard on a car park of a GB Supermarché during our trip back home. It's obviously a daily driver.

Listed in the National Archives of the Smithsonian as one of the most outstanding buildings in the U.S. known for its historic restoration, City Hall in Bay City was built between 1894 and 1897. In 1980, the building was completely restored at a cost of $3.3 million and following a fire in 2010 underwent a $5 million upgrade and rehabilitation. It is one of the finest examples of municipal architecture in the modern Romanesque style to be found in this country and exemplifies one of many outstanding preservation efforts in Bay City.

Seattle Waterfront Streetcar, June 2000. Operating from 1982 until 2005, the two mile line was single track with two passing sidings. Part of the line paralleled the infamous Alaskan Way Viaduct (the car is passing under it in this view), which is now (2018) in the process of being replaced with an underground roadway through this part of the waterfront.
Now replaced with a grassy verge, this walled mirror is long gone from the corner of Spencer street & Collins street.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.

Southeastern 'Citybeam' 707 010 calls at St Johns Station with the new towers of Lewisham in the background. These 707s are ex Southwestern Railway cast offs, rewrapped for Southeastern and given a funky name like 'Citybeam'. The seats made headlines in the railway press for being little better than ironing boards and toilets are non existent. The trains they are replacing, now going to the breakers, had better seats and toilets...
St Johns is one of those stations that I've passed and travelled through thousands of times in my life but never used. Being an island platform it's accessed by a long footbridge from St Johns Vale and the near by St Johns Church. The bridge gives good views towards Lewisham but it's just a shame that unless your a unit fan, every train is the same. The towers in the background didn't exist a few years ago and below them is the once temporary, now permanent rail bridge, the site of one of the worst railway disasters in the UK in 1957.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but things have been a little "different" lately, right? Even my friends on the street have noticed.
Not all of them get minute by minute news updates like many people do. Nor do all of them understand the extent of what is happening. But it is affecting their lives too. There used to be plenty of traffic for Hillbilly to panhandle in. Now some mornings the neighborhood is like a ghost town. Many of the friendly businesses, pallet yards, recycling places, etc... are closed. No segment of the population seems to be unaffected.
But as I drop food, clothes, etc... off in the mornings (or tonight for Levita, Vera, and Squirrel), there is a level of respect. A hug or handshake has been replaced with a virtual elbow bump. Food gets handed out and I distance myself, and they understand my concerns. Nobody gets offended when I say "Sorry, I can't take ANY chances."
I'm not sure if they observe these new social rules amongst themselves, but I appreciate the fact that understand me.
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Ernest Wilhelm Leonard Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world.
Ludwig's son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse.

This aircraft was delivered to United Airlines as N647UA in Apr-92. It was sold to a lessor on delivery and leased back to United.
It was sold back to United in Jun-15 and fitted with blended winglets in Aug-18. Now 30 years old it continues in service, Updated 24-Feb-22.
Seen at dusk at Maghull Station on the Merseyrail network of lines that radiate out of Liverpool. A Class 507 EMU; they are nearly 40 years old and are to be replaced by new EMU's from Swiss firm Stadler in around 3 years. I liked the way the train is out of focus nearest to the camera but in focus further back. It was not travelling as fast though as the photo seems to indicate.
Denver & Rio Grande Western K-28 #477 leads a mixed train across the Animas River Bridge at Milepost 495.25 as she arrives in the little mining town of Silverton, Colorado, where a little October snow has begun to fall.
This image was captured during an October 2024 photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, organized by Trains Magazine. The locomotive pictured is actually K-28 #473, lettered as one of her long-lost sisters, #477, which was sent to the White Pass & Yukon during World War II and sadly, did not survive her hard service in Alaska. The bridge pictured in the foreground is the famous timber bridge, which carried the Silverton trains for decades until it was replaced just recently, in 2024 with the more modern, steel and concrete structure that carries the tracks now. At least for now, the railroad appears content to let the old bridge remain in place.
Replacing the leased C&NW and BN switchers were four brand new EMD SW1001s. Shoving ingots under Ave G.
Another five photos from my last drive, on 28 April. Harsh light and windy.
On 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.
I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.
So, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more shots with the SX60. I can't say that the photos from either camera came out as sharp as I would have liked - very bright out, and windy. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say. I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited.
