Not great again this morning I think it's a pollen thing.

I never knew this memorial was even here! Located on the other side of the GTR bridge, Allan's Mill was initially a wooden mill purchased and built for the Canada Company by William Allan. Completed in 1832, the mill quickly became a noted part of downtown Guelph and was replaced by 1850 with a mill made from limestone. Standing at five storeys and running seven mill stones the Allan family continued to operate the mill until 1876. William also completed a distillery on the other side of the Speed River, which sold both Gin and Whiskey. David Spence continued to operate the mill until a fire destroyed it in 1966.

Installed as part of the Water Orton corridor resignaling scheme between 2009 and 2012 the repeater for WN4884 has always made for a fine frame for trains on the Up Derby Fast from the Saltley Viaduct. The signal stands in the way of the alignment of the new viaduct and has recently been replaced with a simple pole mounted version between the fast and slow lines. Pictured here back in 2019 as 43366 powers by with 1S51 Plymouth to Glasgow Central.

Operated for the US Postal Service by Ryan International.
Built as a Boeing 727-22C with a main deck cargo door, this aircraft could be operated with passengers or as a freighter. It was delivered to United Airlines as N7412U in Oct-66.
It was sold back to Boeing in part exchange in Oct-81 and immediately sold to Emery Worldwide and converted to a full freighter. It was re-registered N429EX in Apr-82 and operated for Emery by Interstate Airlines.

This was built in 1983 to replace the original (1900) swing bridge. It is built of steel and powered by electricity. The replacement work cost £0.5 million and was part of a wider upgrade of the Navigation to conform to the 700-tonne Eurobarge standard (see Later Development section of this article). An elevated control house was built for the sole use of operational staff, but in recent years a freestanding low level standard control console has been built for the use of boaters when the bridge is not staffed. Sykehouse Lift Bridge (downstream of Barnby Dun) was built to the same technical specification. The structure is sturdier than might be expected for a bridge that carries an unclassified road linking Barnby Dun and Bentley, but it was the only way for abnormal loads to access the nearby Thorpe Marsh power station, so the bridge was designed for loads of up to 180 tons gross weight. Although Thorpe Marsh Power Station has now been demolished, the bridge is still busy with road traffic. This is because it is one of the few crossings of the Navigation in this area.
The Moskvich 402 appeared in 1956. It replaced the 400-Series and had a complete new body, influenced by the mid 1950s British style.
The technics were still based on the pre-war Opel Kadett.

The Moskvich 403 was debuting in 1961.
Export versions had a lot of luxury trim and were often painted in an attractive two-tone colour pattern.

There were still a lot of 'big pistons' around in the mid '60s, as evidenced by the pools of dripping oil all over the ramp, most of it caused by ACE Freighters Constellations...
An early build DC-7, this aircraft was delivered new to American Airlines as N308AA in Dec-53. It only stayed with them for just over 5 years before being sold to leasing company GALCO in May-59.

The mainstream Ford line of cars grew substantially larger for 1957, a model which lasted through 1959. The Crown Victoria with its flashy chrome "basket handle" was no more, and the acrylic glass-roofed Crown Victoria Skyliner was replaced by a new model, the retracting-roof hardtop Skyliner.
The new chassis allowed the floor to be placed much lower, which in turn led to a lower and longer look overall. The major component of this chassis was a differential whose pinion gear was exceptionally low relative to the axleshafts, lower than in conventional hypoid differentials.
The line was freshened with a simulated hood scoop and dual-headlight front clip for 1958. The rectangular grille openings gave way to circles, and a simulated hood scoop was added. A new 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic was optional along with the 2-speed Ford-O-Matic and manual transmission. Engines were also updated, with the 272 CID dropped, the 292 CID making 205 hp (153 kW), and a new-generation 332 CID (5.4 L) FE V8 rated at 240 HP in 2 barrel form and 265 HP in 4 barrel "Interceptor" form. The new 352 cubic inch V8, also dubbed "Interceptor" and rated at 300 hp (224 kW) made its debut. Galaxie production was started in Lorain, Ohio at Ford's Lorain Assembly plant for 1958 and continued through 1959 with 102,869 Galaxies produced there. Air suspension became optional.
The convertible version of Ford Fairlane 500, Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner (also called Skyliner Retractable Convertible), had been sold for three years - 1957, 1958, and 1959. It was the most expensive vehicle offered by Ford. The 1958 Skyliner sold for $3,163 while the standard convertible sold for $2,650 and the send went for $2,055. A total of 14,713 units were produced in 1958. Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner weighted 4,609-pounds.

Via Rail Canada FPA4 6793 was rolling through Bayview with a westbound in 1987 following three-month-old GMD F40PH-2 6425.

Built between 1907 and 1914, this Beaux Arts-style Cathedral Basilica was designed by Emmanuel L. Masqueray for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The church replaced the previous Church of the Immaculate Conception, a Gothic Revival-style building located in the Warehouse District, which was condemned and demolished in 1921. The land for the cathedral was donated by wealthy industrialist Lawrence S. Donaldson in 1905, with groundbreaking in 1907, and the cornerstone being laid in 1908. The church was dedicated in 1913, and it opened for services in 1914, while at the time still being known as the Pro-Cathedral and being part of the Immaculate Conception Parish. The church was renamed the Procathedral of Saint Mary in 1921, and the interior decoration was completed in 1925. In 1926, the Cathedral was designated by Pope Pius XI as the first Minor Basilica in the United States, though the building was not formally consecrated until 1941. In 1975, the Basilica was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church features a granite exterior with a darker Rockville granite base and lighter Vermont granite walls, standing 70 feet tall from the base to the roof of the nave. The front of the church features an entrance with a doric portico with arched openings, columns, a cornice with triglyphs and brackets, and decorative trim elements on top of the portico, below a large circular window flanked by two bell towers with arched openings, bracketed cornices, decorative parapets, and additional doorways at the base. The rear of the church features a square dome above a square tower, featuring nine stained glass windows, copper cladding, a lantern at the top, and a large space home to the cathedral’s altar below, with circular windows to the east and west, and an apse to the rear. Beneath the dome inside the church is a sanctuary with an ornate marble altar topped with a 50-foot-tall marble baldacchino, with an ornate ceiling, arched openings to the nave and apse, and decorative pilasters on the east and west walls. The nave features an ornate arched ceiling with intricate trim, large stained glass windows, arched openings to the low aisles on either side, and rows of wooden benches. During the unrest and riots following the killing of George Floyd by members of the Minneapolis Police Department in 2020, an attempt was made to set the cathedral on fire with accelerant being poured on several pews, which resulted in damage to the nave, however, the attempt was unsuccessful. Though the co-Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the church is also presently utilized as a music venue, with several musical ensembles performing within the building. The cathedral functions as an anchor for the northwest corner of the Loring Park section of Minneapolis.
