"Chatham Historic Dockyard" - UK World Tail Livery.
This livery was originally 'just another world tail' livery. For most people it was either like 'em or hate 'em (I liked 'em!). The UK's Prime Minister of the day, Margaret Thatcher, most definitely disliked them and drooped her handkerchief over the tail of a large model on the BA stand at a Conservative Conference to show what she felt, in front of the World's media. After that they were gradually repainted into the Chatham Historic Dockyard livery which then became the standard BA livery.
First flown with the Boeing test registration N6005C, this aircraft was delivered to British Airways as G-BNWH in Oct-90. After 24 years in service the aircraft was permanently retired at Victorville, CA, USA in Aug-14.

Named: "Sundance Kid".
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWIR, this aircraft was delivered to GECAS, leased to Virgin Atlantic Airlines and sub-leased to Virgin Sun Airlines as G-VKID in Dec-99.
Virgin Sun was closed down by Virgin Atlantic and the aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-01 and stored at Bristol-Filton, UK. It was moved to Dublin, Ireland in May-02 and leased to Transair Sweden as SE-RCD the following month.
Transair Sweden immediately wet-leased it to GOODjet and operations continued until the aircraft was repossessed by GECAS in Dec-02 and stored at Bordeaux, France (Transair Sweden was declared bankrupt in Jan-03 with debts of USD 3 million).
The aircraft was leased to Iberworld as EC-IMU in Mar-03. It was damaged at Madrid in Oct-08 when the nosewheel collapsed in the hangar during scheduled maintenance. It was repaired and repainted all white but didn't return to service until Feb-10.
The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Oct-10 and immediately leased to Rossiya - Russian Airlines as VQ-BDR. It returned to the lessor in Feb-18 and was stored at Shannon, Ireland. At the end of May-18 it was sold to Sunrise Asset Management Inc and leased to Allegiant Air as N235NV. Current, updated 24-May-23..
Power Looms are steadily replacing the Handloom weavers in Varanasi. Not only are they eating into the handloom industries market but also into the livelihoods of the skilled weavers. These cheap low quality imitations have adulterated the handicraft industry and left the weavers in great despair and struggle to make ends meet.
Built in 1905, replacing an earlier 1870 wooden lighthouse that was rotting away. The station was established in 1870. The round cast iron tower is 73 feet tall and painted with horizontal black and white bands, to help distinguish it from the light gray rocks of the cape. A white flash is displayed every 15 seconds.
Located on the Pacific Ocean about 30 miles southeast of Blenheim and can only be reached by a long tortuous unpaved road across a private ranch.
This lighthouse was the site for the 2016 film "Light Between Oceans" taken from a novel of the same name by M. L. Stedman.
The book and film are set on a remote lighthouse located off the western Australian coast. A rowboat with a dead man and a live baby wash ashore as the story unfolds. The Cape Campbell lighthouse was selected for the film because of it's isolated location.
The Cape Campbell area suffered major damage during a series of South Island earthquakes beginning in 2013 and continuing for several years.
Between 1496 and 1508, the Presbytery roof was replaced and the "New Building", a rectangular building built around the end of the Norman eastern apse, with Perpendicular fan vaulting (probably designed by John Wastell, the architect of King's College Chapel, Cambridge and the Bell Harry Tower at Canterbury Cathedral), was added.
Neiman-Marcus replaces the old City of Paris department store, a building that, thanks to its exquisite oval rotunda topped by a stained-glass dome, was as beloved a building as any in downtown San Francisco. Not surprisingly, San Franciscans were not pleased when Neiman-Marcus announced in 1974 that it had bought the old City of Paris building, which it intended to demolish for a brand-new department store; even Neiman-Marcus's agreement to preserve the rotunda within the framework of Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Burgee's new structure, a checkerboard box of reddish granite, did not mollify the opposition.
But the plan went ahead, and now that the building is done and the store is open, it is easy to see that the preservation-minded folk of this town knew wherefrom they spoke. For the Neiman-Marcus building, even with the gracious rotunda preserved, is one of this city's most conspicuous architectural mistakes. It is an awkward intrusion into San Francisco, a building that struggles to reflect a certain spirit and ends up, instead, capturing that spirit under glass and nearly suffocating it.
The City of Paris rotunda represents the vigor, optimism, and bold elegance with which San Francisco rebuilt itself following 1906. At least four generations of San Franciscans hold the sight of a sixty-foot Christmas tree under the gigantic lead glass dome as one of their best memories. The motto set in the uppermost glass panel of the rotunda remains the undeniable sentiment of San Francisco itself: Fluctuat nec mergitur . 146

I think this final Canadian Airlines livery was the best they ever had.
Fleet No: "881".
Named: "Maxwell W. Ward" (Canadian Aviation Pioneer and founder of Wardair).
First flown with the Boeing test registration N6018N, this aircraft was delivered to Canadian Airlines International as C-GMWW in Dec-90. Canadian Airlines was merged into Air Canada in Apr-01 and the aircraft continued in service until it was sold to Pegasus MSN 24883 LLC as N987PG in May-05.

The registration was cancelled in Sep-12 and the aircraft was last noted still at Marana in Oct-13 without engines.
Giorgio Vasari (Arezzo, 30 July 1511 - Florence, 27 June 1574) fresco, The defeat of the Pisans at the tower of San Vincenzo - Salone dei Cinquecento - Palazzo Vecchio, Florence
Questa sala imponente ha una lunghezza di 54 metri ed una larghezza di 23. Fu costruita nel 1494 da Simone del Pollaiolo, detto il Cronaca, su commissione di Savonarola che, rimpiazzando i Medici alla guida di Firenze, la volle come sede del Consiglio maggiore, appunto di 500 membri.
Il soffitto è realizzato con 39 pannelli costruiti e dipinti da Vasari e dalla sua bottega, rappresentanti "Importanti episodi della vita di Cosimo I", i quartieri della città e la città stessa, con al centro l'apoteosi rappresentante: "Scena di glorificazione come gran duca di Firenze e di Toscana".
Sulle pareti sono realizzati grandi affreschi che descrivono le battaglie ed i successi militari di Firenze su Pisa e Siena
This imposing room has a length of 54 meters and a width of 23. It was built in 1494 by Simone del Pollaiolo, called the Chronicle, on commission of Savonarola who, replacing the Medici at the head of Florence, wanted it as the seat of the Major Council, precisely of 500 members.
The ceiling is realized with 39 panels built and painted by Vasari and his workshop, representing "Important episodes of the life of Cosimo I", the quarters of the city and the city itself, with in the center the apotheosis representing: "Scene of glorification as Grand Duke of Florence and Tuscany".
On the walls there are large frescoes depicting the battles and military successes of Florence on Pisa and Siena.

This livery was originally one of the 'World Tails' (Chatham Historic Dockyard) and you can see on this shot, it has 'United Kingdom' titles on the nose. This eventually became the standard British Airways livery.
First flown in Oct-92, this aircraft was delivered to British Airways as G-DOCS in Dec-92. It was in service with British Airways for almost 21.5 years before being parked at London-Gatwick in Jun-14.
It was ferried to Victorville, CA, USA a week later and permanently retired. The aircraft was last noted still stored at Victorville in Oct-16. Updated 12-Nov-22.

Original 'Star Alliance' livery featuring the six founding members of the alliance, Air Canada, Lufthansa, United Airlines, Varig Brazil, SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Thai Airways International.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJF, this aircraft was delivered to Air Canada as C-FYLD in Apr-97. It was due to be leased to LAN Airlines (Chile) in Jan-08 but the lease was cancelled. The aircraft was leased to Gestair (Spain) as EC-KSE in May-08 and operated on behalf of Iberia in full Iberia livery.
It was returned to Air Canada as G-CHSJ in Feb-13 and stored at Sao Paulo - Guarulhos, Brazil. The aircraft remained stored until it was leased to Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-FPU in Dec-13. It was permanently retired at San Bernardino, CA, USA in Mar-20 and broken up there in 2021.
Note 1. The registration C-FYLD was later applied to a Sunwing Airlines Boeing 737-800 between Dec-09 / Apr-10.
Note 2. I was a bit suspicious of the British registration G-CHSJ for Air Canada while it was stored in Brasil, thinking it was likely to be a misprint for C-GHSJ. However, on checking the UK CAA aircraft database I found that G-CHSJ was correct. The aircraft was British registered between Feb/Dec-13. The Canadian registration C-GHSJ is/was a Cessna 172.

LE ORCHIDEE DI FIORELLA
L'orchidea domestica (più comune è la Phalaenopsis) vive bene in casa se posizionata in un luogo molto luminoso ma protetto dai raggi diretti del sole.
Al contrario di quanto si pensa comunemente, le orchidee sono piante molto robuste. Come ogni altra pianta, infatti, anche le orchidee non vogliono altro che luce, acqua e un’adatta temperatura. Teoricamente le orchidee sono eterne perché si rinnovano in continuazione, producendo nuove vegetazioni che sostituiscono le vecchie. Il numero di foglie, infatti, è più o meno sempre lo stesso. L’apice della pianta ne produce di nuove e contemporaneamente perde le vecchie alla base che prima ingialliscono e poi si seccano e si staccano.

FIORELLA'S ORCHIDS
The house orchid (the most common is the Phalaenopsis) thrives indoors if placed in a bright spot but protected from direct sunlight.
Contrary to popular belief, orchids are very robust plants. Like any other plant, orchids require nothing more than light, water, and the right temperature. Theoretically, orchids are eternal because they continually renew themselves, producing new growth to replace the old ones. The number of leaves, in fact, remains more or less the same. The apex of the plant produces new ones while simultaneously losing the old ones at the base, which first turn yellow and then dry up and fall off.

I was in Hannover for the Airshow in 1964, on a chartered British Eagle Viscount.
Named: "Clipper Heidelberg".
For anyone who might wonder what Pan-Am DC-6B's were doing in Hannover. After the second World War, the Russians decreed that the new Lufthansa would not be allowed to use the three air corridors from West Germany to Berlin. Only aircraft of the other joint powers (UK, USA & France) were permitted. So BEA used BAC One-Elevens, Pan-Am used DC-6B's (and later B727's) and Air France used Caravelles.
This aircraft was delivered to Pan American World Airways as N6526C in May-52. It was leased to PANAGRA Pan American Grace Airways in 1958 and returned to Pan Am in 1959.
It was leased to Capital Airlines in Jan-60 and returned to Pan Am in May-61. In May-62 the aircraft was leased to Aerovias Panama as HP-359 and returned to Pan Am in Jan-63 when it was transferred to operations in West Germany.
It was withdrawn from service and stored at Miami, FL, USA in Mar-68. The aircraft was sold to Air Lease Inc in Sep-68 and was sold on to Concare Aircraft Leasing in Oct-70. It was sold to Inair Panama as HP-539 (not a typo with the above). Sadly, it was written off when it crashed at Manaus, Brasil in Apr-72.
Note: The aircraft was off the centreline and too high on an ILS approach into Manaus on a ferry flight. The runway alignment was corrected but the rate of descent increased and the nosegear collapsed when it hit a wall, 12 mts / 40 feet short of the runway. The aircraft slid along the runway for about 300 mts and was damaged beyond repair.
That early morning November light. Seems strange to call it early when it’s the best part of two hours later than the time I was going out during lockdown 1. Anyway here’s Croft Meadow in black and white. I haven’t walked here for over 7 years because it’s not greyhound friendly. It’s not particularly people friendly either if you have hip or joint problems. Please replace the stiles with gates Cheddington Parish Council!

Now you know why Britannia Airways was called Britannia Airways...
Delivered new to BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation in Mar-57 as G-ANBO, the aircraft was wet-leased to Cathay Pacific Airways from Dec-60/mid-61. It was wet leased to Malayan Airlines from Sep/Oct-61 and again from Jul/Aug-62.
The aircraft was stored at Cambridge, UK, in Dec-62 after just 5 years in service. It was leased to Britannia Airways (previously known as Euravia) in Jan-65 and they bought it in Mar-70. It was retired at Luton in Nov-70 and broken there up in May-71.
Melbourne: The Flinders Street Railway Station clocks - from the inside.
One of the most famous features of the Flinders Street Railway Station is the clocks out front showing the next train scheduled for each line. “I’ll meet you under the clocks” is a saying that has been used by friends, business people, tourists and school groups. Originally manually operated, they have been replaced by automated scheduling. When it was proposed that they be replaced by digital clocks, there was such a public uproar that they were reinstated within 24 hours. (Source - adapted from: showmemelbourne.com.au/blog/ill-meet-you-under-the-clocks...)

This aircraft was delivered to Gulf Air as A4O-GJ in Jun-89. It was sold to a lessor in Jun-00 and leased back to Gulf Air, it was also repainted in in a '50th Anniversary' livery later the same year.
Gulf Air was originally owned by four Arabian Gulf countries, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE (Abu Dhabi) and Oman. Qatar left the group when they formed Qatar Airways in 1994 and the UAE (Abu Dhabi) pulled out in 2003 when they formed Etihad Airways.
That left Bahrain and Oman. All Gulf Air's aircraft had been registered in Oman until they decided to invest more in the fledgling Oman Air and pulled out in 2007. As a consequence, all of Gulf Air's aircraft were re-registered in Bahrain. A4O-GJ became A9C-GJ in Nov-07.
Gulf Air had to downsize to survive and this aircraft was returned to the lessor and stored at Dublin, Ireland in Apr-08. It was sold to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest as N182AQ in Jan-09 and in Apr-09 it was moved to Maastricht, Netherlands for further storage.
It was at Maastricht for two years before making it's final move to Sanford, FL, USA in Mar-11, still in Gulf Air's 50th anniversary livery. The aircraft was sold to Bank of Utah in Jul-12 and permanently retired. It was broken up at Sanford in late 2014. Updated 29-Jul-21.
Note: Oman's registration prefix is 'Alpha Four Oscar' (A4O) and not 'Alpha Four Zero' (A40) as some people assume...

The Boeing 747-400D was built for the Japanese Domestic market and had no winglets. They didn't do anything for fuel efficiency on short sectors and omitting them saved weight. Only 19 were built for Japan Air Lines and All Nippon Airways, they had a maximum passenger capacity of 660.
This aircraft was delivered to ANA All Nippon Airways as JA8959 in Jan-93. It was in service with ANA for almost 20 years before being permanently retired at Tupelo, MS, USA in Oct-12. The registration was cancelled 3 days later.

The Sangi Railway in Mie Prefecture somewhat recently announced that their fleet of 1960's and 70's era EMU's used for their local services would be replaced with "newer" secondhand 211 Series from JR Central, starting in 2025. Even though the 211's have their roots from the JNR era, displacing mid-century relics is still sad to see. It was fun while it lasted.

Fresh from the Mckinley Substation, two subtransmission pole lines run down on each side of the street with both having double circuits.
The right poles most likely date from the 1920's with the hanging porcelain disk insulators. The left poles likely date from the 1930's with the porcelain post insulators.
Some of the poles and hardware farther down the street here have been replaced throughout the years.

This is Navy Pier's new Ferris wheel, which is bigger, taller, and faster than the old Ferris wheel it replaced.
It was a beautiful sunny day with the temperature in the mid teens and the wind chill towering around zero degrees fahrenheit. This is the reason there are no people in this shot on this beautiful sunny afternoon on the pier.
