We find ourselves in an industrial warehouse area for "Switcher Saturday", where Niagara Junction #16 is working a couple of factory tracks. The NIAJ was a 44 mile switching road, that had eight of these 1,030 hp GE E-10B steeple cab electrics, built in 1952. With ownership by the PC, EL, and LV, after the Conrail merger, it was decided to absorb this operation into Conrail. Between 1976 and 1977, Conrail slowly replaced the electrics with diesels, killing off another juicy cool operation. Some of the units were sold off for further service on the MTA (Metro North).
They are very tiny.... only about 3 inches tall .
Not many left, but those that are still blooming look great.
Macro ... pagh... I wasn't holding the camera very steady for a hand held shot here ... but, the colours are lovely, so I'm adding it anyway.. .... and if I trot out again to try for a better photo, I'll replace it.
The bridge was replaced by the current pedestrian bridge in 1970. You can still see some of the wooden supports for the original bridge as you cross.
A drive led from the ferry to Coed Helen house, thought to date from the early 17th century. The house belonged to a succession of influential families and is now part of a caravan park.
On the hill between the river and house stands a summerhouse, built in the 18th century. At various times, the military used the area for training and keeping watch on the Menai Strait. A battery of guns at Coed Helen was fired on important occasions, including in 1847 to salute Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and their children.
This bridge swings to one side to allow boats to enter or leave the harbour. It replaced a Victorian bridge which itself had replaced a ferry across the river Seiont. It leads from Caernarfon town to the parkland at Coed Helen.

The small building with castellated top, west of the bridge, was built in 1822 for the operator of the Coed Helen ferry. The Pritchard family of boat owners and builders ran the ferry from c.1859. In 1878 David Pritchard was praised for his prompt action to save a militiaman (volunteer soldier) who fell between the quay and boat while boarding. David died, aged 76, in 1884.
The first swing bridge, known as Pont yr Aber, was completed in 1899, amid arguing over compensation for loss of the ferry trade. A gas engine powered the swing mechanism. The bridge was too small to justify hydraulic power, which would have been ideal.
The metalwork was painted “stone colour” (off-white) to minimise heat absorption from sunshine. Excess heat would have distorted the ends of the swing span. White paint was rejected as it would soon have looked dirty. Tolls were levied on pedestrians and carriages.
Nylon strings are traditionally tied behind the bridge, but I've found that after years of use strings begin to saw through the wood where they are tied. I've found that using tiny blocks of wood to secure the wood avoids the issue.

I'll be taking a short break this week.
Our internet and landline phone provider (BT) have suddenly told us we have a 2-day process of completely replacing our existing set-up (that works just fine) with a new one.
Like the rice bowl here it looks/sounds simple … but it might be full or it might be empty promises!!
We have had no choice, and no information as to how the "upgrade" is to be accomplished. Currently we are trying to find things out before we are cut off! But given this sudden arbitrary demand, I don't feel sanguine about the process at all!
So I hope we will be back online soon … but it all depends on British Telecom!

A sheet of ice flew off the top of an oncoming truck and landed on the windshield of my husband's truck. Could have been a lot worse.No one was injured. The windshield is already replaced and it is as good as new. HSS!
The ferry "Zanardelli" from 1903 moors at the original old jetty of Limone sul Garda.
This paddle boat was originally equipped with a steam engine which was replaced by a diesel engine during a restoration.
However, that does not alter the fact that maneuvering with such ships requires skill at the helm....
Happy to find a pair of migrating scaup at our park today, swimming in a pool of water from the melting ice.
Sorry for so many similar photos. It's been years since I have seen any of these these there. Some not the best quality but saving anyway. Will replace if I get better ones should they stay longer.
The "new" Flamborough Lighthouse, built in 1806, is a prominent landmark on the Flamborough Headland in East Yorkshire. It replaced an earlier chalk lighthouse established in 1674. This 1806 lighthouse is still operational and is now a Grade II listed building. It serves as a navigational aid for ships heading towards Scarborough and Bridlington.
The sin of King Nimrod, in the Old Testament, was to build a tower high enough to reach into Heaven so that he could access God.
The myth goes that as the Tower of Babel reached a great height, God was displeased and was concerned that humanity as a unified people would be capable of great things by their working together. So "He" caused great confusion in peoples' minds and sent them running in divergent directions. This confusion caused them to splinter their singular language into dozens of different tongues, from which sprang many nations and differing cultures of the world.
The arrogance of modern technology and science seeks to replace god ( God ) with it's own singular omnipotence, to reach heights unforeseen where every single aspect of life can be known and predicted. That would qualify as 'omniscience' to me, a quality usually reserved for the Biblical God. It's richly ironic how science works SO hard to deny the existence of God while doing everything it can to take 'his' place.

Last year we severely cut back the roses that were climbing along the front of our Northamptonshire cottage in order to replace the trellis and undertake a few repairs to the stonework. The roses have now recovered and are looking back to their best.
The Bonding Warehouse building on the left is Grade II listed and dates from 1875. It is one of the few surviving warehouses on the river's west bank
The original Roman bridge over the Ouse was replaced by a wooden bridge built further downstream by the Vikings. In 1154, it collapsed under the weight of a crowd which had gathered to greet St William of York on his return from exile. It was replaced by a stone bridge, but part of this was swept away by floods in the winter of 1564-5. The repaired bridge of 1565 had a new central arch spanning 81 ft. This bridge was dismantled between 1810 and 1818 in order to make way for the New Ouse Bridge, designed by Peter Atkinson the younger, completed in 1821.
Skeldergate Bridge links the York Castle area and the old bailey at Baile Hill. It was built as a toll bridge between 1878 and 1880 (architect: George Gordon Page). A small arch by the former tollhouse at the east end of the bridge was originally designed to open so that tall ships could sail up to the quays on either side of the river between Skeldergate and Ouse Bridges. Skeldergate Bridge was formally declared free of tolls on April 1, 1914.
Information on the two bridges from Wikipedia.
The Lightship LV-112 replaced an earlier model LV-117 that had been sunk in a collision with a passenger liner. LV-112 was primarily stationed at Nantucket Shoals throughout most of its active-duty service. It was retired in 1975 and was moved a couple of times within the northeast coast of the U.S. including Oyster Bay where this picture was taken. Since 2010, the lightship has found a permanent home as a floating museum at the Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina.
An SD60F leads 184 eastbound through East End Green Creek. The original Wheeling searchlights have since been replaced and 184 rarely runs with CN power anymore.
The Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse, located in the Delaware Bay just off Cape Henlopen, Delaware, is a 72-foot tower that still serves as a navigation aid to ships. This structure was built in 1926, replacing another lighthouse built in 1908. The Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation currently preserves the lighthouse. I took this shot while on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, shortly before it landed in Lewes, Delaware. Explore 262, 9/19/15.

On a hazy evening, the Cape Flyer is seen along the Cape Cod Canal on its northbound journey from Hyannis to Boston. Leading the train is MBTA 1071, an F40PH-3C in New Haven-inspired colors. Seen in the background is the Canal Generating Plant, which is occasionally served by the Mass Coastal Railroad. This view is from atop the Sagamore Bridge, which is to be replaced in the coming years.
Throwing it back to September 2016 and 22K is seen pulling out of Gardner after making a pitstop at Dunkin’ Donuts. Looming high in the background are the new signals that will replace the old searchlights at CPF 345 (still active at the time of this photo).
The Parish Church of Saint Peter
The church of Saint Peter was built to replace a previous church washed away in a significant flood in 1337
Sometimes referred to as "the Cathedral of the Fens", the largely Perpendicular church is Grade 1 listed, and is often regarded as one of England's finest parish churches.
The Fenlands of south-east Lincolnshire, west Norfolk and north Cambridgeshire are rich in medieval ecclesiastical architecture, because of this the area is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Land of the English".
Replacing the lock gates at Sawley on a grey rainy day. At Sawley Cut, where the canal, including the marina, creates a by-pass of the weir on the river Trent to allow navigation of the river.
For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
I walk on my own to think it over
I can't believe this is real
It all seems so clear
All seems so right
I can't put on words how I feel
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you, no
I'm lost in your eyes
You dream me away from here
Far away, where I can feel no pain
With you i feel safe
I know you keep me out of harms way
In time you'll see
What you mean to me
Everyday I think of you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
There's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Anytime you doubt with us
Makes you wanna run away
You think of what we have
If it feels like everything goes there away
I'll be standing here
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you
There's nothing here in the world
That can replace you, no
there's nothing here in the world
I can face without you
Nothing in this world can replace you
There is nothing
There is nothing
There is nothing

The last time a passenger charter went down the Rylstone branch was six years ago, 13 March 2020. Social distancing was in place, this being one of the last charters to run before Covid lockdowns.
What was originally billed as the Little North Western Grid, with class 56 haulage, ended up with West Coast Railway Co. 37706 and 47832 top and tailing the train.
Sunny blue skies in the morning were quickly replaced by low cloud and I opted to join the train at Giggleswick, having never ridden a train over the Rylstone branch. I returned to Skipton in the cab of 47832, noting that memories of 47560 TAMAR lived on in the lettering on the cab ceiling.
37706 and 47832 are seen at Swinden Quarry, Rylstone with 1Z56, the 09.05 Carnforth to Doncaster. Naturally the sun was back out by the time we got back to Doncaster.
To replace a part of the Lineas-owned wagons used on the coal flux between Dunkerque and Pont à Mousson, a rake of VTG wagons was drafted in on 31/07/2020 by the means of 49872 Antwerpen Noord - Tergnier.
Manildra's new MAN001 & MAN005 lead empty containerised grain service 9571 over the Mooki River at Breeza, bound for Moree. Having left Bomaderry just after midnight the same day.

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.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Skeppsholmen Church (Swedish: Skeppsholmskyrkan) is a former church on the islet of Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm, Sweden.
Named after its location, the church was built 1823-1849 to replace a minor wooden church on Blasieholmen destroyed in the devastating fire of 1822. Inaugurated by King Charles XIV John on 24 July 1842 and still officially carrying his name,[2] it was designed by the architect Fredrik Blom as a neoclassical octahedral temple inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, borrowing the coffered ceiling while substituting the oculus for the temple-shaped lantern light. On all sides, the plain white walls restored in 1998 are pierced by portals whose four pillars support semi-circular lunettes. Inside the cruciform exterior, the interior sheet of the wooden double cupola is supported by paired doric columns and rounded arches. Accompanying the painted altarpiece are niches with statues of the apostles and two plaster groups.
The Skeppsholmen parish was discontinued in 1969 when the Navy moved to the Muskö naval base, and the church was secularized in 2002. Since May 2009, the building has been a concert hall called Eric Ericsonhallen. It was named after the Swedish conductor and choral conductor Eric Ericson (1918–2013).

PKP Intercity EP07-1041 passes Cieplewo with perhaps IC 75104 "BACHUS" (Zielona Góra Główna - Gdynia Główna), replaced by bus between Zielona Góra Główna and Zbąszynek) on November 16, 2022, 14:31.
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!
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. This was once thatched, but our roof was replaced with slates many years ago.
Replaced with a slightly less hazy version processed in LR.

Aw !!!!! As you can see in my today's photos, their blooms are soooo adorably and deliciously formed, so gracefully colored!!! The plants are so generously built and colored !! The Divine Creator was full of inspiration and joy , really, while creating the blooms of these Beauties : Hydrangeas or Hortansias! ( Hydrangea = Hydra+Gea = Filled with water + earth, in Greek, implies that Hydrangeas are really fond of humid soil and atmosphere!!)
In my garden, they replace in July certain large-bloomed Roses in blooming, while these first ones carry faded rose blooms, and are being prepared for their second wave of blooming!! Therefore, the garden remains colorful non stop!! Which was really my target-aim while organizing its creation and planting in the mixed borders.…
Hydrangeas are generally carrying two types of blooms in various sizes and colors, according to the unique characteristics of each plant! They are either round bloomed-– Hydrangeas Mopheads--- or disc-like bloomed –Lacecup Hydrangeas Macrophyllas!
You can read here in this BBC ’s special gardening website how to grow them successfully!! www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/how-to-grow-hyd...
Market Day stalls and end of trading for the day. This is my home town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre (traffic free zone) hosts a market on six days a week and operates from 9am to 4pm each day selling a wide range of goods. From 1871 there was a cattle market too, housed in the Smithfield
Cattle Market. But sadly that moved out of town to the outskirts of the town of Market Drayton some years ago, more space required.
49. A Civic/Government/Public Building - 117/2017
Market and Guild Hall info from BBC - Domesday Reloaded.
The first market place was in Upper
Green now the A34 Road. This moved to
the High Street about 1280. The whole of
the present High Street would have been
a Large Market place. In 1203 the
original Sunday Market was moved to
Saturday, then to Monday in 1590. In the
early 19th century, Saturday became a 2nd
market day and later Friday a 3rd. In
1853 the first covered market was built
to supplement the portable street
market and to offer a halfway house
between shop and stall. This was
replaced in 1963 by a more up-to-date
covered market.
Guildhall
Newcastle Guildhall was built by an
employers association in about 1235. It
was then that Henry III recognised that
Newcastle was more than an ordinary
market town and so granted the Townsman
the right to form a Guild Merchant. They
quickly became the most powerful
force, both economically and
politically, in Newcastle. Later on when
a town council emerged to administer
the town the Guild became less
important, but in a continuing memorial
the Town Councils meeting place has
continued to be called a Guildhall
rather than a Town Hall. The Guildhall
today, which is a little to the south
of the original site, is used for many
functions. Various organisations hire it
for many things from Jumble Sales to
plays. Whatever its many uses today it
is still a beautiful building which
dominates the Newcastle Market Square.
