The lighthouse on Georges Island, in Halifax harbour, Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada. Built in 1919 to replace an earlier lighthouse destroyed by fire. Some more information:
In 1856, following a number of ship collisions with Georges Island at night or in heavy fog, Halifax merchants began lobbying the local government to have a lighthouse erected on the island. Twenty years later, in 1876, the first lighthouse was constructed on the western slope of Georges Island to serve as a navigational aid for vessels in the harbour. Made of wood and with a residence for the lighthouse keeper attached, it operated for 40 years before being destroyed by fire in 1916.
Finished in 1919, the current lighthouse was built of concrete to reduce the threat of fire. Today, the lighthouse is owned and operated by the Canadian Coast Guard as is the remote radar tower, disguised as a signal mast within Fort Charlotte. The radar was first installed in 1974 to assist with harbour traffic control.
For nearly 100 years, a lighthouse keeper lived on Georges Island. Originally, the residence was attached to the lighthouse but, following the 1916 fire which destroyed the first lighthouse, a separate dwelling was constructed. In 1972, the last lightkeeper left the island with his family after the lighthouse was converted to one of the first fully automated lighthouses in Canada.
We prepared the site plan and obtained the building permit. We handled all necessary inspections. We removed the existing concrete driveway. We removed all debris from the premises. We compacted all soil. We poured the new driveway with 4000 PSI concrete with fibermesh reinforcement. We hand troweled the concrete with a double broom finish. We cut all expansion joints accordingly.
St Anne's Roman Catholic church, in the Chapel End / Camp Hill area of Nuneaton, was built in 1999-2000 to replace the original basic dual-purpose church/school built in the 1940s with a limited budget and lifespan. The new church was opened in March 2000, and dedicated later that year by Archbishop Vincent Nicholls.
The church is square in plan with the corners angled (forming an uneven octagon) with the orientation on the diagonal axis facing south east. There is an unfortunate inbalance in the glazing within, which is concentrated on the north and east walls, the remaining walls having the parish rooms attached. The original design included a central lantern over the nave, but this was sadly abandoned during construction owing to rising costs (this would have given the building a more 'church-like' profile outside and greater light within).
Following my work at Sacred Heart, Bilton I was invited to prepare designs for several of the church's windows prior to construction, and thus had the sanctuary oculus with the dove of the Holy Spirit installed for the first mass in the church in March 2000. In the following years the project continued for the adjoining five windows including a central image of the church's patron St Anne with her daughter Mary.
The remaining windows were filled a few years later with a Crucifixion group and a more abstract Sacrament-themed composition (in lighter colours as continuing the rich blue scheme set by the earlier windows would have made the church too dark!), making this my largest ever stained glass project and my only complete scheme of church windows to date.
In July 2012 a final touch was added when I painted the Sanctuary ceiling with a design of Seraphim and stars in blue and gold, a concept under discussion for some time to remedy the lack of structural emphasis on the altar area and create a more fitting focal point to the interior, with the angel's wings suggesting a canopy.

I've replaced the background in this photograph due to so many children facing in the general direction of the camera. This was at the Festival of Steam and Transport 2019. Historic Dockyard Chatham. I guess the presence of so many young families at this heritage event bodes well for the future of vehicle preservation. But at the time I first saw the original of this image I may just have been in a bit of a Mr Grumpy mood.

Louis XV vowed in 1744 that if he recovered from an illness he would replace the ruined church of St-Genèvieve Abbey with an edifice to the glory of the patron saint of Paris: St-Genèvieve. The Marquis of Marigny was entrusted with the fulfillment of the vow after the king regained his health. The protégé of Marigny - Soufflot - was charged with the plans. Thus began the construction of the Panthéon, a vast building 110 meters long by 84 meters wide and 83 meters high, inspired from the ancient Greek architecture. The foundations were laid in 1758, but due to financial difficulties it was only completed in 1789. No sooner completed, than the Revolutionary government changed its mission from that of a church to that of a mausoleum for the remains of great Frenchmen. Twice since then it has reverted to being a church, only to become again a temple to the great men of France. Among those buried in its necropolis are Voltaire, Rousseau, Mirabeau, Marat, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, and Soufflot its architect. The remains of Jean Moulin - hero of the French Resistence during the Second World War - were moved here by Charles de Gaulle.
In anul 1744, regele Ludovic al XV-lea, bolnav fiind, a jurat că dacă se va însănătoşi va ridica o nouă biserică închinată Sfintei Genoveva (St-Genèvieve), protectoara Parisului, în locul vechii mănăstiri căzute în ruină. Indeplinirea jurământului regal a fost lăsată în grija Marchizului de Marigny, care i-a încredinţat protejatului său, Soufflot, proiectarea edificiului. Aşa a început construcţia Panteonului din Paris, o construcţie uriaşă cu dimensiunile în plan de 110 m x 84 m şi cu înălţimea de 83 m, inspirată din arhitectura antică greacă. Fundaţiile au fost realizate în 1758, dar dificultăţile financiare au făcut ca clădirea să fie terminată abia în 1789. Guvernul revoluţionar i-a schimbat destinaţia, din biserică în mausoleu pentru rămăşiţele pământeşti marilor francezi. Ulterior, a redevenit biserică de două ori, pentru a fi din nou transformată în templu al marilor oameni ai Franţei. In necropola aflată în subsolul edificiului sunt înmormântaţi Voltaire, Rousseau, Mirabeau, Marat, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, ca şi Soufflot, architectul. Charles de Gaulle a adus aici rămăşiţele lui Jean Moulin, erou al Rezistenţei Franceze din timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial.

The Trolleybus Museum, Belton Road, Sandtoft, Lincolnshire.
Huddersfield 619 - KVH 219.
British United Traction (BUT) 9641T.
Built 1956. Withdrawn 1968.
The Huddersfield trolleybus system opened on 4 December 1933, gradually replacing the tramway network, which closed on Saturday, 29 June 1940. It was a medium-sized system with a total of 15 routes and a maximum fleet of 140 trolleybuses. It closed on 13 July 1968.
A notable feature of the system was the Longwood trolleybus turntable, which was one of only four such turntables ever to have been constructed in the UK. The turntable was manually-operated and was in use only in 1939-40 until wartime conditions forced the introduction of other arrangements. However, it remained in situ until demolished in the 1980s.
Up to the last deliveries Huddersfield trolleybuses retained several features of early 1930s practice. Platforms had two steps from the road; the rear platform windows were twopiece; and all vehicles were 3-axle and 7ft 6in wide, even though 2-axle buses of this length were made legal in 1956 and the 8ft maximum width had been permissible since 1946.
619 was built in 1956, numerically the first of a batch of 12 it was the last to enter service. Withdrawn six weeks before the Huddersfield trolleybus system closed it was purchased by the local BUT Preservation Fund, which became part of the West Yorkshire Transport Circle, one of the Museum’s four founding societies. Before coming to Sandtoft it was used to tour the Teesside system in January 1969. In 1971 it became the first trolleybus to transport passengers under its own power at Sandtoft, albeit with a bank of traction batteries the length of the lower deck. For a while it moved to “Transperience”, near Bradford, which was able to operate trolleybuses, although a low bridge prevented double-deckers from running.
A regular service vehicle at the Museum, 619 is privately owned, and in very good condition.
Founded on its present site in 1969 to house, restore and run trolleybuses when they were fast disappearing from Britain’s streets, The Trolleybus Museum has grown from a handful of vehicles and now has over 50 - the largest collection of preserved trolleybuses in the world.

Before installing gearbox, replace bushes on the extension, there is one on each side, at the bottom of the forks, and one at the top (arrowed)
I think most stories of R154's shifting like a truck box can be atributed to sad bushes (one of mine had collapsed and rendered the whole spring/fork setup useless.)after fitting new bushes -GREAT!
If bushes are worn, it does shift like a truck- think 1928 Studebaker,going up a steep hill with a full load of pigs on board-that bad!, ( grunty noises as well)

I’ve been having trouble with the 1.4x Extender I purchased to go with my new Nikon Setup. I’ve had nothing but trouble getting it to focus remotely close to where I wanted it to be. I’ve had the combo with the extender up to +15, +20 and still had it missing focus seemingly front focusing. I now think it was completely naffed and the focus was totally off. Luckily I got it with my 500mm from a local shop though the one I had was without pouch and caps?! They were taken off the one I have now and sent to me but I have my suspicions I was sold a returned one that was giving someone else a headache lol.
This shot was taken while testing in the park with the new extender, 700mm, F7.1, ISO 1600 - No Noise reduction, Cropped to 30megapixels… gotta like that.. 5Ds folks can start gloating in the summer ;)
Im still thinking the focus may be slightly forward but looking at other squirrel images I have they do always seem sharper other than bang on the eye. Tell me what you think if it looks off then I’d like to know. This was already dialled in at +10 on the Micro Adjust as I felt the 500mm on it’s own needed around that to excel wide open at close range, though Im still thinking it needs a tad more too. Gonna have to double check that one.

The single-arch, red-brick road bridge on Chapel Street, over Slaughter Yard Creek, Ravenswood, was most likely constructed by the Ravenswood Divisional Board circa 1895 - 1900, to replace an earlier timber bridge and improve access between Ravenswood and the gold mines at Sandy Creek (and their associated town of Evlinton), located almost 4km southeast of Ravenswood. The Chapel Street Bridge is important in illustrating the importance of mining to the economy of Ravenswood during the 1890s. It is also rare as the only known example of an early brick-arch road bridge in Queensland.
Ravenswood, part of the traditional land of the Birriah people, is located about 85km south of Townsville and 65km east of Charters Towers. The Ravenswood goldfield, which included the John Bull reef near Sandy Creek, was the fifth largest producer of gold in Queensland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
European settlement of the Kennedy Land District in north Queensland commenced with the founding of Bowen in 1861, and the spread of pastoralists through the hinterland. Pastoral stations were established up the valley of the Burdekin River, including ‘Ravenswood’ and ‘Merri Merriwa’. Alluvial gold was discovered in tributaries of Connolly Creek, on Merri Merriwa Station, in late 1868; and in April 1869, the goldfield’s richest alluvial discoveries occurred in three dry creek beds close to the site of Ravenswood. The parent reefs of this alluvial gold were soon located, but a lack of water meant that miners did not establish Ravenswood (initially called ‘Upper Camp’) until October 1869, after a storm temporarily resolved the water issue. The first machinery for crushing quartz ore to extract gold was operational at Burnt Point (south of Upper Camp) from the 18th of April 1870.
The Ravenswood goldfield (about 300 square miles) was proclaimed on the 3rd of November 1870, and the town of Ravenswood was proclaimed on the 19th of May 1871. In 1871, the population of the goldfield was 900, with over half being in Ravenswood. The town developed on either side of Elphinstone Creek, and the first permanent bridge over the creek was constructed, of timber, in 1873.
Despite its promising start, in 1872 the Ravenswood goldfield entered a ‘period of depression’, as its most important mines reached the water table, and difficult to process ‘mundic’ ore, at about 70ft (21m) deep. Although only a percentage of the gold was recoverable from the mundic ore with the technology available at the time, Ravenswood’s mines continued to be viable into the 1880s.
There was an increase in productivity in the mid-1880s, due to good returns from the mines on the John Bull reef, located on the east bank of Sandy Creek, almost 4km southeast of Ravenswood. The Chapel Street Bridge is a product of the success of the John Bull reef, and the resulting need for a road link between Ravenswood and Sandy Creek.
Work on the John Bull reef, just south of the later site of the town of Evlinton (initially known as Sandy Creek), had occurred from 1879 – and by October that year crushings from a stamper battery on the John Bull were being carted into Ravenswood. The John Bull Gold Mining Company Ltd (formed in 1881), worked the John Bull PC lease on the reef, while the John Bull Block lease, to the south, was worked by Hugh Hawthorne Barton and Andrew Trenfield by July 1882. A 15-stamp battery was erected on the John Bull Block in 1883, when it was reported that ‘Sandy Creek bids fair to become a very busy little place at no distant date’. Although the John Bull’s ore was low quality, the reef was large, and it continued to produce well during 1884 – the year that the railway reached Ravenswood from Ravenswood Junction on the Northern Railway.
By 1886, the settlement at Sandy Creek was called ‘Evlinton’, and was part of a mail route. Although Sandy Creek Provisional School, established in 1885, was renamed Evlinton Provisional School in 1886, the town of Evlinton was not surveyed until early 1890.
A timber bridge was extant over Slaughter Yard Creek on Chapel Street, on the road between Ravenswood and Evlinton, by 1887. This bridge was the scene of a fatal accident in August 1887, when Joseph Lane, a miner working at the John Bull Block, fell off his horse when it slipped on the bridge while he was riding into Ravenswood. The Ravenswood Divisional Board is likely to have built the bridge, as after the Divisional Boards Act 1879, responsibility for local roads passed from Queensland’s Department of Public Works to local governments – although the State Government still provided grants and loans.
The John Bull reef remained one of the best producers on the Ravenswood goldfield from the mid-1880s to the early 1890s. By October 1887, the John Bull Block was ’held to the extent of three-fourths by Messrs. Kyle Sidley and Andrew Trenfield’; and in 1891, it was reported that the John Bull Block mine and mill employed 60 hands. ‘Although they put through a low-grade ore, the size of the reef and the great number of tons passing under their stampers (twenty head) give a live and busy appearance to their little township of Evlinton’.
The Ravenswood Divisional Board attempted to replace the timber Chapel Street Bridge in 1888. It sought a grant of £1000, to build bridges over the One Mile Creek (on the main road to Ravenswood Junction), and ‘over the crossing on the road to Sandy Creek, at which place there is a considerable amount of heavy traffic’. However, no grant appears to have eventuated at this time, as the government preferred that the Divisional Board borrow the money.
The bridge’s replacement was delayed when Evlinton’s prosperity was interrupted in the early 1890s. The John Bull Block had already extracted the best quality ore, and had continued issues with water ingress. This led to a stoppage of work in 1892, which ‘caused an almost total desertion of the little township there (Evlinton), and a shifting of dwellings in here and elsewhere’. The Ravenswood goldfield’s production in 1893 was its lowest since 1886.
A revival in the fortunes of Evlinton and the John Bull reef occurred from 1894, when Sidley and Trenfield sold their mines and the Saint George (20 head) battery to Archibald L Wilson (1852 - 1935). Wilson had arrived in Ravenswood in 1878, after gaining a diploma in mining engineering in Edinburgh, and working in New Zealand and on the Palmer River. He was publican of the Silver King Hotel in Totley in the 1880s. At the end of 1893, Wilson travelled to London to float the John Bull property, and his syndicate purchased the John Bull mines, with himself as general manager, in April 1894. Digging of a new vertical shaft commenced in late 1894.
Gold bearing ore was struck in October 1895, at 626ft (191m) depth, and by 1896 the John Bull was considered the ‘chief mine’ on the Ravenswood goldfield. Although the ore was low grade, and there were ‘oceans of water’ to pump out, Wilson had set up a cyaniding plant nearby, to treat tailings as soon as they had been crushed. He extracted 1800oz of gold from 5000 tons of ore during 1896; and supplying the 20 stamper battery with cordwood required ‘quite a little colony’ of timber-getters and carters. ‘Sandy Creek (Evlinton), with two public-houses, boarding houses, school, and its mill at work, presented quite a lively appearance, particularly on “pay night”’.
The recovery of Evlinton in the late 1890s led to the construction of the current brick bridge on Chapel Street, between 1895 and 1900. In May 1895, the Ravenswood Divisional Board asked for a £500 grant to repair several roads and their bridges, including the road from Ravenswood to Evlinton. ‘These are all main roads and lead to thriving mining centres, particularly the Evlinton and Old [?] roads, where there are several large gold mines being developed…. All the roads and bridges thereon…are almost untrafficable, particularly in bad weather’. The expenditure statement of the Division of Ravenswood for the second half of 1895 refers to a £25 18s and 8p contract for a wall on ‘Slaughter-yard Gully’, while the statement for the first half of 1896 lists a ‘retaining wall at Slaughter-yard Gully Bridge’, for £25 18s and 9p, deducted from the ‘Main Roads Grant Account’. Later, £48 is deducted, for a bridge, from the ‘John Bull and Standard Road Account’ during the second half of 1900.
Constructed of red brick, the Chapel Street Bridge has a semi-circular arch and low-height solid spandrels (side walls, north and south) with render-capped coping. Postholes formed in the coping suggest the bridge originally had a balustrade. The angled abutment wing walls on the upstream (south) side were designed to channel water flow during times of flood and, along with the stone retaining walls on the upstream (north) side, help stabilise the abutment embankments and roadway approaches (east and west).
The Chapel Street Bridge is a rare Queensland example of a brick-arch road bridge, where historically, due to an abundance of hardwood timber for bridge piers and decking, the preference has been for girder and truss types of timber, steel, or concrete construction – although early pipe culverts used brick, and some bridges used bricks for abutments or retaining walls. Brick was also used in Queensland for railway bridge abutments and piers, retaining walls, and culverts. Early examples of brick culverts are found on the 1860s Main Range Railway (1865 - 1867). One example of a masonry road bridge in Queensland is a 1865 bridge at Dalrymple Gap on the Valley of Lagoons Rd, which consists of stone retaining walls inset with a circular brick culvert. A 1930s arched road bridge across Little Crystal Creek at Mount Spec is faced in stone, but is actually concrete. Comparatively more common in the southern states of Australia, masonry arch bridges rely on their curved arch rib and end supports for stability, and characteristically have solid spandrels.
The bricks for the Chapel Street Bridge may have been locally manufactured, although quality bricks were available from Townsville, particularly after the railway reached Ravenswood in 1884. Most buildings in 19th century Ravenswood were constructed of timber, but bricks were used for mining infrastructure such as chimneys, flues, furnaces, and engine mounts – so skilled bricklayers would have been available on the goldfield. At least one brick chimney existed by 1880, while a 56ft (17m) brick chimney was present at HH Barton’s chlorination works in 1888. During 1891 - 1892, the contractor Robert Mann locally constructed the bricks for, and erected, a 90ft (27m) brick chimney and furnaces, for the Australasian Gold Extracting Company (New England lease). Later, a block of timber commercial buildings in Ravenswood, lost in a disastrous fire in April 1901, was rebuilt using bricks, suggesting confident expectations of permanence for Ravenswood.
However, the revival of nearby Evlinton in the late 1890s was a short-term phenomenon. Although Wilson was able to wring enough return from cyaniding the ore to pay the John Bull’s operating expenses, there was insufficient capital for development work. Wilson left for London in 1898 to seek investors for other mines, and although the John Bull Block mine had a record weekly crush of 298oz of gold from 198 tons of ore in 1899, the John Bull mines closed in January 1901.
Evlinton vanished after the closure of the John Bull mines, although the town did not die immediately. A social and dance was held at Evlinton State School in 1916, in aid of Ravenswood Red Cross Society, when people from Ravenswood travelled ‘by motorcar, buggy etc’ to the function; and the school was also used as a polling place for elections, prior to its closure in 1921.
Although the John Bull mines at Sandy Creek had closed, Ravenswood entered a new period of prosperity from 1900, thanks to Wilson. While in London, in 1899 he had floated both the Donnybrook Blocks Mining Syndicate and the New Ravenswood Company. Using British capital, Wilson introduced modern machinery to work the main Ravenswood mines and the New Ravenswood Company effectively reshaped Ravenswood’s landscape. Wilson was known as ‘the uncrowned king of Ravenswood’.
The early 20th century revival at Ravenswood ended in 1917, after declining yields, increased costs, and industrial disputes. On the 24th of March 1917 the New Ravenswood Company ceased operations, ending large-scale mining in Ravenswood for the next 70 years. Up to 1917, Ravenswood was the fifth largest gold producer in Queensland, after Charters Towers, Mount Morgan, Gympie, and the Palmer goldfield. Ravenswood was also the second largest producer of reef gold in north Queensland, after Charters Towers.
After 1917 the Ravenswood goldfield entered a period of hibernation, with intermittent small-scale attempts at mining until the 1960s. During the 1920s, prior to the closure of the railway branch line to Ravenswood in 1930, hundreds of the town’s timber buildings were dismantled and railed away; and by 1934 only 357 people remained in Ravenswood. In the 1960 and 1970s, Ravenswood’s population shrank to its nadir of about 70 people. However, gold mining recommenced at Ravenswood in the 1980s, due to a rise in the gold price and the efficiencies gained from open cut mining and modern cyanide metallurgical extraction processes.
The Chapel Street Bridge was closed to traffic in the 1980s, but it survives as a physical reminder that the mines at Sandy Creek, once accessed via the road that crossed the bridge, were important to Ravenswood’s economy. In 2019, modern metal road guards block access to the bridge, which is located almost 300m north of the northern rim of Carpentaria Gold’s Sarsfield pit.

The unsollicited documenta art work "THE EMERGENCY WILL REPLACE THE CONTEMPORARY"
is now part of a great art collection : It has been purchased by the art museum in Mannheim / DE , Kunsthalle Mannheim . This art work created debates and curatorial decisions in d13 (occupy camp inclusion and exclusion ) and in d14 (marble tent etc ...) .It converge the work of Biennalist and Emergency Room format
The artwork is now exhibited in the Edouard Manet room in front of the painting " The Execution of Emperor Maximilian " ,by so it questions the capacity and the role of the artist to stop and hopefully even prevent accidents .( in advance of the broken arm ). One of the side of the tent says " ART IN DELAY HAS NO IMPACT . " Manet depicted in his painting an excecution ,a wonderful art work that comes unfortunatly after the accident .

When not in use the driver bits are held in rubber sleeves on the tool body that fold in for a compact size and to lock the bits in place so they don't get lost.
In the center of the tool body is a chain tool with spring-loaded removal. Once removed, the chain tool features a magnetic hex that fits into the driver for a better grip and leverage. 230 grams.
Includes:
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm Hex Wrenches
T10 and T25 Torx Wrenches
Flat and Phillips Screwdrivers (Two sizes each)
#0 and #1 Spoke Wrenches
Chain Tool
