The Naviglio Pavese is one of the canals making up the Navigli system in Lombardy, Italy. Once navigable, it is 33 km (21 mi) long and connected the city of Milan to Pavia, and through a flight of six locks to the River Ticino.
Construction started in 1564, but was interrupted 20 years later just outside Milan due to technical problems: the lock there is still called Conca Fallata, which in Italian means "Failed Lock". Building resumed at the beginning of the 19th century and was completed in 1819.
The canal was finally closed to navigation in the 1960s, but work has recently started to restore it back to full navigation, a link in the project to connect Switzerland to Venice by inland waterway.
Fregati !...
Mi sono detta mentre prendevo il tè con un raggio di un bel sole, pensando a quelli del Cai che avevano rimandato la gita ( cui non mi ero iscritta perché già fatta molte volte).
Poco dopo ho sentito il ticchettio della pioggia sui vetri.
Mi piacciono i tetti di ardesia lucidi di pioggia, il bagliore grigio del mare all'orizzonte, sotto alle nubi cupe .
Ma veniva giù un diluvio. Non si poteva stare neppure un attimo sul balcone

CSXT Framingham based local L004 has been on duty more than three hours and is just now starting north. They are technically still inside the Framingham Yard limits as they trundle northbound on the Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU35.6. The entirety of the branch is designated as Other Than Main Track with this local operating at Restricted Speed but not exceeding 10 MPH the whole way making for an agonizingly long round trip.
The two ex Chessie GP40-2s are crossing the short deck girder bridge over the Foss Reservoir/Sudbury River with a big train of more than 30 cars. Have you ever driven the Mass Pike in the Framingham area and looked over your shoulder to the south and seen a grafitti covered bridge and wondered what train crosses it? Well now you know, because the eastbound lanes of I90 are just 100 or so ft to the left of the train. a
This trackage dates from 1855 when the Agricultural Branch Railroad opened between Framingham and Northborough. In July 1866, the railroad opened a 14-mile extension to a connection with the Fitchburg and Worcester Railroad at Pratts Junction in Sterling. The next dozen years were rather convoluted as many small independent lines began to congeal into larger systems and by 1879 the route was part of the Old Colony Railroad, then ultimately came into the fold of the New York, New Haven, & Hartford in 1893.
This line, like its sister route to Lowell, was one of only three incursions of the NH north of the defacto "Mason Dixon Line" of New England Railroading into what otherwise was the exclusive domain of the Boston and Maine. For virtually a century, with few exceptions, the NH ruled CT and RI and everything in MA south of New York Central's Boston & Albany subsidiary which ran in a virtual straight line between its namesake cities bifurcating New England.
Today this 30 mile route meandering northwest is the last CSXT owned branchline in Massachusetts, with all the rest of any length that they still operate having been sold to MassDOT. The branch seems to have a solid future thanks to the addition of a busy new demolition debris customer near the end of the line in Leominster a few years ago supplementing stalwarts like Ken's Foods, Nucor, and Bestway Lumber.

I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose "

Victoria Square, Birmingham Not sure how anyone can afford a packet of fags these days, especially youngsters. But maybe she thinks it’s worth it to “look cool”?
IN EXPLORE 17.11.2021.
One of the coolest things we have done is to start cooking. I found myself well into my thirties without any idea of nutrition and without the ability to cook anything. On the recommendation of a friend - I start using cookbooks from America's Test Kitchen. They experiment with recipes 50 different ways until they come up with something that tastes good and that anybody can make.
And it works. We made potato salad first and it turned out to be the best I had ever tasted. I couldn't believe that we actually made it. We were hooked and now have eight of their books and use them for everything. Years later we now make all kinds of food including our own salad dressing and bread. It never ceases to amaze me and I think of it every time we reach the bottom of another spice bottle.
Wonderful Wednesday to you my friend. Food brings people together.

A huge thank you to Anna Skahill for not only modelling in this photo, but in doing so missing out on going to the lake with the rest of the meetup gang (they forgot about us!)
This image has been in my head for months and I knew that I wanted to shoot it in Indiana and right away I knew that Anna would be the perfect person to help me out. I don't think I've ever met someone as 100% genuinely happy and positive as Anna.
It wasn't until after I finished my three hours of shooting that I went on Facebook and Twitter to find my concerned dancer friend's sentiments and disclaimers about my first time on point. Right now I have frozen corn in a towel on my toes. I hope the blisters aren't too bad.
