Westcott fountain is a historic landmark on the campus of Florida State University. It sits at the end of College Avenue in front of the Westcott building. There is a large, marble plaque in front of the fountain with the Florida State University logo, used to welcome people to campus. Westcott fountain came into the possession of Florida State University in 1917 as a gift from the Florida State College for Women, classes of 1915 and 1917. Today, the fountain is a strong symbol of unity and heritage for Florida State University.
Westcott fountain sits in the center of Westcott Plaza, surrounded by engraved bricks. The bricks commemorate students, professors and others who have contributed to Florida State University. The Florida State University Alumni Association administers the "Brick Program." The brick plaza was a project of the classes of 1996 and 1997. Its construction in 1998 was possible through the generous donations of students, alumni, faculty, staff and more. The bricks are used to commemorate names, special dates and accomplishments and new bricks are installed every semester.
In 1982 the fountain was renovated in commemoration of Professor Anna Forbes Liddell. The fountain that is there today is however not the original one. Westcott fountain was replaced in 1988, due to failure of the original support system. Westcott fountain sits upon what was previously referred to as "Gallows Hill": during the 1830s, the hill was a site of executions. Westcott fountain has become a monument at Florida State University. It is a symbol of the University that sits proudly at the main entrance to the school.

I've been playing around with Photoshop in my spare time. This shot originally had a terrible BG. This is a special bird uncommonly seen here in Georgia during migration so I replaced the BG using layers and the quick selection tool in Photoshop. I then smoothed out the rough edges with the cloning and healing tools in Lightroom. The image of the bird itself is essentially unaltered. I have been embracing the artistic side of bird photography more and more, and the use of Photoshop is opening up entirely new avenues for me to explore. I am having a lot of fun!
This species can be found in much of southern and central Europe stretching out to Asia where it is replaced by S. paedisca. It is found around the Mediterranean in Europe and North Africa and on many Mediterranean islands.
It can be found in all types of standing water, including in brackish waters. In winter adults are found away from water on dry plant stems usually in open areas such as grassland and heaths.
Sympecma fusca can reach a length of about 38 millimetres (1.5 in). It is distinct from all other European damselflies except Sympecma paedisca, so in most of its range there are no problems with identification. In fact it does not have the bright blue or red colouration that is more usual for damselflies so it is often overlooked. Moreover it do not have the metallic emerald green sheen that is characteristic of the Lestes.
These damselflies have pale brown pterostigma on both forewing and hindwing and the pterostigma are nearer the wing tip on the forewing which means that both pterostigma can be seen, they do not overlap as in other damselflies. In the field this is easily seen and distinguishes Sympecma from all other damselflies. Males that have overwintered have dark brown pterostigma on both forewing and hindwing and many develop blue eyes.
Where both S. fusca and S. paedisca fly together careful examination of the adult, in the hand, preferably under magnification, is required to tell the two species apart. In the male the anal appendages are slightly different and there are subtle differences in the markings on the thorax in both sexes.
This species is found all year round as it overwinter as an adult. It usually blends in with the dried grass stalks in which it overwinters. It is one of only two species of European dragonflies that overwinter as adult insects, the other being the related Sympecma paedisca. Although related to the Lestes 'spreadwing' damselflies, Sympecma rest with their wings alongside their bodies
In spring these damselflies mate and with the pairs still in tandem, the females oviposit in floating vegetation. Most reproductive behaviour occurs in April and May. The eggs hatch and the larvae develop rapidly in about 2 months. When the adults emerge they move away from water, often to heath or grassland a long distance from water, where they overwinter hidden amongst dried plant stems.
For the first time in just under 50 years, a scheduled steam service replaced the normal diesels on main line service. To mark the reopening of the Settle to Carlisle line (closed for a year due to a huge land slip north of Appleby), Northern Rail ran three days of a steam hauled service between Skipton and Appleby. Such is the love of steam, 50 years after it was withdrawn from the main line that it proved to be a huge success. All trains were full (5,500 people traveled on this limited service over the three days) , all stations were crowded and all vantage points were overflowing despite the usual wind, rain and freezing temperatures.
The loco selected to haul the 12 trains was "new build" A1 Class 60163 "Tornado" seen here crossing The Dandry Mire Viaduct at Garsdale Head just after leaving Garsdale Station with the 10.44am from Skipton to Appleby.

Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...

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.

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.

On a frigid December evening, an off-schedule WE93 legs out the final few miles of its journey to interchange with the CN at Lang Yard. Wheeling SD40T-2 #5412 is piloting today's train, with 'Rio Grande' still spelled out in 'Flying' letters on the long hood. The 5412 is one of four Rio Grande-painted units on the Wheeling 's roster.
5412 is passing historic Ironville Tower, located on Toledo's East Side—one of three interlocking towers in the greater metropolitan area. Ironville guards the diamond between the Toledo Terminal and the original Wheeling & Lake Erie's Mainline while also overseeing Wheeling's junction with the Toledo Belt just north of the diamond. The all-relay interlocking and current tower were constructed and engineered by the Wheeling & Lake Erie in partnership with Union Switch & Signal in 1941 and replaced a tower and mechanical intellerlocking built at the same location in 1908, all at a cost of $31,200. The all-relay interlocking replaced legacy semaphore signals for with H-2 searchlight and N-2 colorlight waysides, which survived until April 2019.
the-pier.co.uk/bournemouth-pier
Bournemouth Pier is a truly splendid pier, with its fairly unique and charismatic façade. A real treasure on the Dorset coast, she is a very well loved and quite genteel attraction, situated in the heart of Bournemouth, with all its sandy beaches.
Yet this wonderful and grand pier actually came from very humble origins. The very first pier in Bournemouth was a simple jetty that was finished in 1856. Yet a mere 6 years later the jetty was replaced, with a longer pier, of wooden construction. Due to infestation by teredo worm, cast iron piles were installed in 1866 to replace the wooden ones. But the structure of the pier was simply not sound and in 1866, the landing stage was blown away, literally overnight, in a gale.
The remainder of the pier was replaced and in use until 1876, when a storm demolished even more of it, rendering it too short to accommodate steamboat traffic. Eventually a new and more fit for purpose pier was erected in 1880, following a series of ‘temporary’ arrangements. This was specifically designed to be more durable than the other piers had been. To make this happen, Eugene Birch, who had designed amongst other things the West Pier at Brighton.
Whilst not as long as many piers of that era, the pier was a decent 255 metres (838 feet or so) in length. Two extensions were built later, which took her up to around 305 metres (just over 1,000 feet).
Bournemouth Pier did have some quite good facilities, which gradually grew over time and soon she was home to a bandstand with concerts given by military bands on a regular basis.
Closed, like so many other piers during the war, she was then to re-open in 1946, having undergone some substantial repair work. Part of the pier had been demolished or had fallen into disrepair during the war as all efforts were directed to the war effort.
In 1950, she was treated to a refurbishment and survived well, until in 1976, it was discovered that she had suffered quite extensive corrosion and as a result, a major restoration programme began in 1979, to demolish most of the remaining building and replace it with more modern and up to date facilities, which were to be built on solid foundations, that would resist corrosion. The corrosion was surprising, given that Eugene Birch had designed it, however, the disrepair experienced during the war may have allowed the corrosion to take hold.
And so the modern, updated pier that is still in use today came into being!
Bournemouth Pier is home to a fantastic pier theatre, which plays host to some traditional seaside resort entertainment, comedians, magicians and singers all perform on a regular basis, with shows run several times a week. Some of these are reminiscence shows, whilst others feature old classics such as Chas and Dave or Marty Wilde.
What’s On – Bournemouth Pier Theatre
The pier itself is also home to a good restaurant, Key West, which is a licensed bar and restaurant which welcomes children and offers a more healthy and gourmet type of menu than in traditional seaside resorts, with menus featuring game pie and beef with locally produced blue cheese.
Prices are also quite reasonable.
Children can have hours of fun at the Children’s Funfair and there are some very up to date games to be played in the arcade. You can even try your hand at jet skiing without even getting your feet wet.
Similar to Eastbourne, Bournemouth is not home to a wild theme park or any large fairground, which makes it just that little bit different from so many of its contemporaries. It is just that little bit less dramatic and is almost a throwback to another time.
The theatre and the classical design of Bournemouth give it a sense of gentle decorum and although it has the arcade and the usual opportunities to partake of fish and chips or ice cream, it is also a rather sedate pier, when set aside many others.
When at the pier, in season, you could take a ride on the fabulous Dorset Belle and have a trip around the bay. Nature lovers will love this, because not only do you get to see the pier and Bournemouth from the water, but also there are some really good opportunities to see different kinds of birds and perhaps even some kind of form of marine life? It is a trip not to be missed and steam enthusiasts will be delighted by the fact that the Dorset Belle is a paddle steamer.
Many people hold Bournemouth and Bournemouth Pier very close to their hearts. There is even a website dedicated to sharing memories of the pier, so that in some way there can be a recognition of the role that this pier has played in so many people’s lives.
Similar to Eastbourne, Bournemouth is more refined and perhaps just that little bit more refined than many seaside piers and this makes it just that little bit more special. Some people put this down to the fact that she has a theatre at the end of the pier and that this livens it up in a way that simply can’t happen in other piers.
Who knows if this is the case, but it is a great place to visit and somehow there always seems a little bit of nostalgia associated with Bournemouth. There is something very special about a slow walk down the pier, looking out towards the sea and the great expanse of water. At night somehow the pier takes on a life of her own and seems quite resplendent in her glory.
Open all year round, but with only limited shows in the theatre out of season, Bournemouth offers a tremendous day out for all the family and really shouldn’t be missed.
If you do want brash and loud then Bournemouth is not the place to come, but if you simply like the idea of quite a gentle and quite traditional pier, without the shrieks from the fairground, then Bournemouth Pier is sure to delight.

The DC-10-15... AeroMexico and Mexicana, being based at 'hot and high' Mexico City, wanted an aircraft with uprated engines to be able to take off with high loads from Mexico City's 7,350ft / 2,240mtrs altitude. Douglas offered them the DC-10-15, basically a DC-10-10 (no centre leg) with uprated engines and some other refinements.
This aircraft was ordered by AeroMexico as XA-AMM, but that registration wasn't used and it was delivered to AeroMexico as N10038 in Jun-81. It operated AeroMexico's last DC-10 service in Dec-96 and was stored at Mexico City.
It remained stored until it was leased to Skyjet Antigua as V2-SKY in Sep-98. (it was originally to have been V2-LFB but that wasn't taken up). Skyjet operated services for many other airlines.
The aircraft was wet-leased to Saudia Saudi Arabian Airlines for a Haj Pilgrimage operation between Feb/May-99. It operated another Haj Pilgrimage for Cameroon Airlines between Apr/May-00.
It was leased short-term to Galaxy Airlines (Greece) between Apr/May-00 and another Haj operation for Saudi Arabian between Jan/Apr-01. It was withdrawn from service and stored at Maastricht, Netherlands during the winter season between Nov-01/Apr-02.
In Apr-02 it was wet-leased to Aerowings (Switzerland but based at Charleroi, Belgium). It seemed to spend more time stored than it did flying. It was stored at Rheims (France) as soon as it was delivered.
I'm not sure when operations started but the aircraft was stored at Maastricht (Netherlands) in Aug-02. From there it moved to Charleroi in Sep-02. Aerowings had gone by early Oct-02 and Skyjet suddenly became Astra Airlines.
The aircraft was leased to Air Mali in Dec-02 for a year but the aircraft was returned to Astra after a month and ferried to Opa-Locka, FL, USA in early Feb-03. It was permanently retired and was last noted still at Opa-Locka in Mar-06

Capitol operated it until Jul-72 when it was sold to California Airmotive and stored at Sebring, Florida.
It was sold to Midair Inc and ferried to Barstow, California, in Apr-73. The aircraft was due to be converted to (fire fighting ?) tanker configuration but that didn't happen and it was broken up at Barstow in 1974/75.

G-BZZA never got to see the full Astraeus livery as they only leased it for the 2003 summer season from May/Oct.
This aircraft was delivered to Maersk Air Denmark as OY-MAL in Mar-92 and was leased to the British Airways German franchise operator, Deutshe BA as D-ADBA in Jun-92. Maersk sold it to a lessor in Sep-96 while the lease to Deutsche BA continued.
It was returned to the lessor in Sep-99 and was stored until it was leased to KLM's new UK 'low-cost' airline Buzz as G-BZZA in Jan-00. KLM eventually decided that 'low-cost' wasn't for them and Buzz was sold to Ryanair in Mar-03 (Buzz staff couldn't agree to Ryanair's T&C's so Ryanair closed it down at the end of Oct-04).
The aircraft was returned to the lessor at the end of Mar-03. It was leased to Astraeus Airlines in May-03 for the summer season, returning to the lessor at the end of Oct-03. In Dec-03 it was leased to Deutsche BA again, now re-named DBA.com, as D-ADIG.
