It's been a while since I ventured down the cut.....
The Stour Valley and the BCN run pretty much arrow straight, within a few feet of each other for the section between Tipton and Albion. Here, a Cross country Voyager approaches Watery Lane (Tipton) with 1M45 1050 Paignton to Manchester Piccadilly.

This was a handheld shot but I remember pausing my stride long enough to capture this shot to account for the slow shutter speed.
The PowerShot S120's six bladed leaf shutter/aperture gives the street light sources 6 "star points" as you can see in this picture. You won't get this natural effect with cellphone cameras as their lenses don't have multiple aperture blades.
If this had been taken with a cellphone, the street lamps would appear as a somewhat oblong shaped halo instead of star pointed light source.
New Haven Railroad DER-1c class ALCO DL-109 diesel electic locomotive # 0709 leads a 3 car suburban passenger train in Providence, Rhode Island, early 1950's. This location may not be Providence but indications are that it is. It appears that there is a heavyweight combine baggage-coach and two general coaches on this train. The season appears to be winter. Check out those interesting power poles with the special wire insulator mountings.

Our neighbor's kittens were born just a few days ago, and I got to visit them yesterday. They have two white ones that may end up as Siamese, one gray, and one tortoise shell. For now they're staying in the garage, but I'm sure that when they get older and more mischievous they'll be kicked out. ;)
We have had many storms lately. Everything is warm, soft, green, damp, and all things are growing.
I'm writing my last paper of the year today - my internal excitement meter is about to bubble over!

This is the centre section of the chapel ceiling Worcester College, Oxford
The Chapel
The College Chapel was built in the eighteenth century. Dr George Clarke, Henry Keene and James Wyatt were responsible for different stages of its lengthy construction (1720–91), owing to shortage of funds. The interior columns and pilasters, the dome and the delicate foliage plastering are all Wyatt's work. His classical interior was insufficiently emphatic for the tastes of militant Victorian churchmen, and between 1864 and 1866 the chapel was redecorated by William Burges. It is highly unusual and decorative; being predominantly pink, the pews are decorated with carved animals, including kangaroos and whales, and the walls are riotously colourful, and include frescoes of dodos and peacocks. Its stained glass windows were to have been designed by John Everett Millais, but Burges rejected his designs and entrusted the work to Henry Holiday. Oscar Wilde said of the Chapel, 'As a piece of simple decorative and beautiful art it is perfect, and the windows very artistic.

Little visited and largely unknown, the Bisti Badlands is an amazingly scenic and colorful expanse of undulating mounds and unusual eroded rocks covering 4,000 acres, hidden away in the high desert of the San Juan Basin that covers the distant northwest corner of New Mexico, yet this area is just one of many similar regions in the region, the remainder even less publicized. The badlands are administered by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), are free to enter, and are known officially, but less evocatively as the Bisti Wilderness Area. There are no signposts pointing the way to Bisti from any nearby towns, but the usual approach route is along NM 371 from Farmington, the largest town in the Four Corners region - this heads due south through wide open prairie land at the east edge of the great Navajo Indian Reservation, which extends for 200 miles across into Arizona. After 36 miles, a historical marker records the history of this area and of the nearby Bisti Trading Post, now derelict, while the main entrance to the badlands is 6.5 miles further south. Bisti is the smaller component of a 15 mile wide wilderness area that also includes much larger De-Na-Zin Wilderness which is equally colorful and even more remote, although partially covered with vegetation.

A section of interlaced tram track in York Road, Wandsworth , during installation in the early twentieth century. The arrangement enabled trams to pass (albeit, singly) in each direction through a narrow section of street.
The running rails in each direction are separate - note the twin flange grooves. After WW 1 these were changed to single rails, although the double conduit slots remained. The altered installation remained in use until 1950.
