"Operation SearchLight"
A story of Bangladesh that tells us
how our normal civilian turned into a freedom fighter at 25 March 1971...
I found this bee on the lawn in the frost, it was all stiff and legs curled up as you can see. I thought it was fitting to take some nice close ups, popped him on some white foam board whilst i set up camera, tripod, lighting etc and as you can see he came back to life. A slurp on some sugar water and a warm up and rest and he was released onto a flower in the garden and flew off none worse for wear a few minutes later
The Central Mills signs had been repainted sometime before the bar reopened as 'Circ.'
Coincidentally, I read that the Allmendinger family was involved in this mill business.

UP's recently revived Rock job, LBU54-20 (originally RIVUP) ditches off of the Kenosha sub with UP 1158, a patched SSW leading solo. The Rock Train passes by an old CNW "No Trespassing" sign that still remains at Lake Bluff, Il. Like 1158's nose patch, The "UP" patch on the sign has faded overtime, re-revealing the "C&NW RR" lettering once more.

What a beautiful building. Really benefitted from having the paint stripped and showing off its brick walls.

On the 26th July 2013 the Arklow Field (2011, 4,480 DWT) leaves Irlam Lock on the Manchester Ship Canal.
I dropped lucky when crossing the canal on the M60 and spotted the Arklow Field heading away from Trafford Park in ballast. A very enjoyable couple of hours photography followed in lovely evening sunshine.
The Hastings Jack-in-the-Green festival was revived by local group Mad Jacks Morris Dancers in 1983 and is now one of the biggest annual gatherings of Morris Dancers in the country. The Jack is “released” every year and is central to the festival. The main procession of the Jack takes place on the May Bank Holiday Monday through the streets of Hastings Old Town, starting from the Fisherman's Museum. The Jack is accompanied by Mad Jacks Morris, the Green Bogies, dancers, giants, musicians and various others. The procession ends on the West Hill where Jack is "slain" to "release the spirit of summer"
A Jack in the Green (also Jack in the green, Jack-in-the-green, Jack i' the Green, Jack o' the Green, etc.) is a participant in traditional English May Day parades and other May celebrations, who wears a large, foliage-covered, garland-like framework, usually pyramidal or conical in shape, which covers his body from head to foot. The name is also applied to the garland itself.
May 1st has long been an important part of the annual Calendar. It is the start of summer in these latitudes and as such has always been a day for celebration: the Celts celebrated May Day as Beltane; The Romans dedicated the day to the Goddess Flora and would go to the woods to cut a tree and decorate it with ribbons and flowers, this is the origin of the May Pole. In the 16th and 17th centuries in England people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration, they became increasingly elaborate. Works Guilds would try to outdo each other, in the late 18th century this became a matter for competition, milkmaids in London carried garlands on their heads with silver objects on them, but the crown had to go to the chimney sweeps. Their garland was so big it covered the entire man. It became known as Jack in the Green.
In Hastings there were at least two groups who paraded a Jack in the Green until about 1889. By the turn of the century the custom was seen no more. The reasons were twofold: the Act which stopped boys climbing chimneys had been passed and these had been the main performers; secondly the Victorians had a different attitude to such customs, the prettification of customs took place, no more the giant maypoles with drunken and promiscuous behaviour, replaced by small poles imported from Germany with happy skipping children around them. The Lord and Lady of the May with their practical joking were replaced by a pretty May Queen. Certainly there was no place for the drunken noisy Jack in the Green.
The custom was revived in Hastings by Mad Jacks Morris Dancers in 1983. We do not say we are following exactly what happened, this is a custom for now, not a fossil. Jack is returned, he is not the property of a small group of dancers, but belongs to us all. Long may he dance!
Further information about the Jack in the Green in Hastings can be obtained by reading the excellent booklet "The Hastings Jack in the Green" written by Keith Leech. Keith, a long time member of Mad Jacks Morris was instrumental in reviving the tradition in Hastings and is a usually seen dressed as a "bogie" or green man, one of Jacks' attendants, during the procession on the May Bank Holiday.

According to tax records this old motel was built in 1949. Probably saw a large share of postwar tourists to WNC mountains.and eventually fell by the wayside. It had been vacant and deteriorating for a number of years when a new metal roof appeared. Interior renovations appears to be ongoing. Sign indicates it to be the Days End Motel offering daily, weekly, and monthly rates. I'm guessing monthly would be more typical.
A neon sign would be nice.l
