The cylindrical section on the right is called 'The Tube'. It gives visitors to Aiguile du Midi access between various observation platforms.
The cockpit section was one of the hardest bits to build. The nose-gear retracts aft to lie under the cockpit. Despite this I still wanted to have enough room for the two crew and have an opening canopy. The canopy is not as rounded as the one of the original, but overall I am happy with the look.
Santa Fe EMD CF7 locomotive # 2649, rebuilt from EMD F7 locomotive # 262C, includes dynamic brakes on the long hood of wrecked GP7B locomotive # 2788A, is seen leading a four unit set of freight designated F7's, while hauling a manifest freight train at an unknown location, 1970. Locomotive # 2649 was the only CF7 conversion locomotive to include dynamic brakes, because the other 232 converted CF7 locomotives had new Cleburne Shop built long hoods installed. These converted CF7 locomotives were used for many years after the covered wagons vanished. Many other roads including Amtrak wound up with some ex-Santa Fe CF7's. The location appears like it may be entrance or exit tracks at a railroad yard. Photo courtesy of Sylvain Assez's railroad photo collection. Sylvain is an active French railway locomotive engineer.
The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown.

Braeburn to Carmacks Expedition via Waterways
Section Six: Nordenskiold River - Porter Mountain Section. Montague Mt. Put-in at 61°51'25.8"N/136°6'31.33W to Bushy Mountain Take-out at 61°58'9.56"N/136°12'22.02W.
I couldn't find any information of previous attempts to paddle this river system and I doubt many have, as the water level is quite low. This means dragging the boat behind for long stretches, climbing over numerous log jams and beaver dams, and diving under overhanging brush and sweepers. There were some really bad obstructions between Twin Lakes and the confluence of Kirkland Creek. The Nordenskiold enters almost unnoticeable from the left bringing brown silty water to the clear Klusha. After Kirkland Creek the river [Nordenskiold] turns to a nice woodland river with almost no obstructions and the water quality improves. This section [6] has several logjams that need to be portaged. The longest logjam requires 125m of bushwhacking to shortcut the blocked section. The river flows by some large and picturesque marshland areas below Porter Mountain and winds towards the west-side of the valley past Razor Mountain. Occasional King Salmon breaking through the surface and lots of waterfowl gathering on mudbanks in this section.
Vacated a few years ago but seemingly well maintained the 3M Building has held a place in my consciousness since I was a lad.
On a busy corner of the Pacific Highway it has always acted as a significant milestone on journeys up the coast and indicated where I needed to turn.
Peter (Dunedoo) was able to tip me off to the following from the National Trust:
The former 3M Building at 950 Pacific Highway, Pymble is of high significance as the former purpose-built national head office administrative building for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (Australia) Pty Limited (3M) company. It is a rare and highly competent example of a Post-War International building incorporating a curved façade. It is believed to be the first curvilinear building in this style on Sydney’s North Shore and one of a small group of high quality curved buildings constructed in the 1950s and 1960s in the International Style. Curvilinear buildings of the same era include the AMP Building at Circular Quay and the former Qantas Building, Chifley Square.
The design was developed by a well-known Sydney firm of architects Hanson, Todd and Partners, in association with 3M in the USA and survives in a highly intact, original state. The building was designed to be prominent and viewed in the round. The surrounding landscaped space, the placement of lawns, and even the car parking areas were designed to provide a lawn setting for the building, enhancing its striking sculptural form.
The choice of a curved façade was made to take advantage of the site at the intersection of the Pacific Highway and Ryde Road/Mona Vale Road, Pymble, and the building was carefully designed and sited to achieve maximum exposure for the company along the Pacific Highway and to create a landmark building. While trees have partly obscured the building, it remains a highly visible and well-known landmark when travelling north on the Pacific Highway.
P&W train GRWO (Gardner MA/Worcester MA) passes through Barbers in Worcester with 4005-4004 and the final 30 loads of ethanol bound for Providence. The first 50 loads came south earlier in the day with rare Norfolk Southern power.

The zinnias and other annuals are coming up nicely and there's sunflowers planted behind them that will come up against the fence in the next couple of weeks.
My Early Girl tomato plant truly was early this year. Fruit before the 4th of July!
The former French Hill School, School Section No. 1 at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum in Cumberland (Ottawa), Ontario, Canada.
Built in 1900 as French Hill School, School Section # 1, just south of Cumberland Village, this one-room schoolhouse provided an education for pupils in grades one through eight for nearly 40 years. French and English speaking students received a very British education with French taught as a subject.
This school was closed in 1936 and remained empty until it was moved to the Museum in 1977.
The door with the window in it used to be used for the auto center.
This Kmart has recently turned 40 years old!
This is Kmart store number 7120 in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania; it opened as a Kmart on September 9th, 1976. The store took over a former Grant City department store (W.T. Grant Company's larger discount store format). What makes this Kmart so unique is that it is the LAST Kmart store to have a full-service restaurant.

Have a great day!
With the overhead electrical sections handily written on the diagram at the relevant geographical points they cover - an interesting quick reference that I can't recall seeing done locally on any other box diagrams.
There are so many aide-memoirs, rules tips and other stuff in boxes these days. All good practice stemming from learning over the years but nothing I ever saw in my time in boxes in the eighties!

Nikon D810 Photos Pro Women's Surfing Van's US Open Sports Photography Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD !
I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracles took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 14mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the brigth sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS< but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!

All the best on your epic hero's odyssey! :)
Been hard at work on my books--my physics books on Dynamic Dimensions Theory (dx4/dt=ic) celebrating the hitherto unsung reality of the fourth expanding dimension which all the photons surf across the universe en route to making a photograph! Also working on an art, mythology, and photography book titled The Golden Hero's Odyssey! All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey! Always love hearing from y'all! :)

Today I went to the Los Angeles Public Library located in the heart of Downtown LA. I have never been there before, so wondering around with a camera was pretty fun!
This is the side wing of children’s section. It was the only room that gave the feel of a classic library…
Lots of processing, I love how you can see the building though the windows, gives the interior a cozy innocent feeling…
I also asked where the Restricted Section was, maybe this was it!
New Haven Railroad with London Midland & Scotish Railways 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive 6100E, The Royal Scot, seen on display with its passenger train spotted along a platform at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, 1933. As you can see there are numerous railroad fans and visitors checking out the touring British display train. It appears that there is an employee standing along the track in the left side foreground. Notice the addition of a bell mounted on the pilot beam and the the added headlight to make the steam locomotive usable and legal for operation in America. Check out the old style of link coupler and the outside buffers being used on the locomotive, plus the elephant ears. Notice too that there is no lower pilot protection (aka: cow catcher), only a couple of steel guards to protect the wheels are installed on the locomotive.
This photo came from my New Haven Railroad photo collection, and the photographers name is unknown. Any credit for this photo must be provided to the original photographer.

For many years the majority of petrol (gas or gasoline) and oil companies produced road maps and guides to help the happy motorist navigate their way around. Such publications also helped promote and market the various companies in the days when many motorists 'stuck' to one brand of petrol or oil. This was heavily promoted in post-WW2 years in the UK when 'pool petrol' and fuel rationing was abolished in the early 1950s.
The companies usually used existing cartographers to produce their maps and here Stanford's of London have provided the base mapping for the Esso Road Maps. This series appears to be dated to the late 1950s (one has a revision date of 1958) and the covers are, I'm sure, by Chris D Watkiss an established artist and illustrator who also produced advertising materials for car manufacturers at the time. The majority of this set was handed out at the Lea Hall Garage Ltd, of Armitage Road, Rugeley in Staffordshire.
Section 5 for Northern England has a cover showing the Lake District and Westmorland by artist C D Watkiss.
