another sunset pic of semaphore, but it's such a nice beach and foreshore park
I left the camera bag with my wife in the park and forgot my ND filter in the haste to get to the beach after waiting in line for fish and chips to long lol
The fantastic semaphores at Worcester Shrub Hill seen as an MOD stores train hauled by EWS 66065 passes through the station.
This War Memorial is made of granite and is topped by a marble angel known locally as the Semaphore Angel. It is to remember all those who fell in the Great War between 1914 -1919. It is also in memory for all those who served all over the world which include Borneo, Korea and Malaysia, Vietnam, South East Asia and the United Nations Operations.
The angel holds a leaf, like a palm leaf, that may be clue to which angel the statue represents.

Pity about the floodlights behind the right hand signal, any ideas how I can overcome this?

The Semaphore Carousel celebrated its 70th year as a resident of the Semaphore Foreshore in 2008. It is believed to be the largest operating carousel in Australia with 40 handcrafted wooden horses with most other rides like this only have 36 horses. As a seaside carnival attraction of yesteryear, the place is magical and a must for visitors, families and also a unique venue to hire for private parties and functions.
The building's hexagon structure can accommodate up to 100 persons comfortably for a sit down meal.
The Carousel is now up for sale. We visited 2 weeks before this was announced.

TfW DMU 197016 passes cleared semaphore HY2 as it approaches Helsby working 1D01 Liverpool Lime Street to Chester. HY36 is visible a little further down the line as it curves away towards another bridge. An old 20 mph speed restriction sign sits to the right of the track.
That dark rectangle in front of the rear side window is a "semaphore" turn signal. When the driver wants to signal a turn, the semaphore will pop out of the car body (it's hinged, I believe at the top) and light up (semaphores didn't flash).
Here's a picture of one in operation: www.oldbug.com/125 053.jpg
