Located on South College St in Trenton, Tennessee, the Peabody High School was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & C for its historical and architectural importance to this West Tennessee city. The Peabody High School was designed by Rueben A. Heavner, a regionally important architect who specialized in school buildings and residences beginning in the early twentieth century and reflects the Neo-Classical style of architecture that he was known for. Built in 1917, the structure served as the primary high school for the young people of Trenton for over sixty years.
As early as 1876, Professor Gentry R. McGee began laying the foundations for the establishment of public education in Gibson County. After securing $1,000.00 from the Peabody Education Fund, an endowment established by George Peabody to aid education in the South, a public school building was constructed in Trenton. But by early 1917, the original Peabody School building was inadequate to serve the growing number of students in Trenton and the surrounding area. Selected as the building's architect was Heavner, a prominent architect from Jackson, TN, who had designed high schools for the towns of Jackson and Lexington, TN previously. His designs mostly take their significant architectural features from Greek or Roman classicism. Examples of Heavner's work are found in the Jackson City Hall, New Southern Hotel (Jackson, TN), First National Bank (Jackson, TN), Old Jackson High School, and many buildings erected at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. (And several of these can be found in my photostream as well.) Peabody High School is an example of Heavner's design which reflect the Neo-Classical features which were popular during his early career. Noteworthy features on the building include the paired giant ionic columns which sit on a raised ashlar basement and support a full entablature, and the stone door surrounds on the wing entrances with entablature above simply inscribed "GIRLS" on the right and "BOYS" on the left. And, throughout the years, Peabody High School has remained one of Trenton's most significant structures. Few alterations have been made to the facade of the building and it retains its early 20th century architectural character. So, it was added to the NRHP on November 23, 1984.

This high-resolution image shows newly discovered frost at the top of Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano not only on Mars but in the entire Solar System. The frost appears blue on the floor of the volcano’s caldera (summit crater) and around its northern rim. It is absent on the well-lit steep slopes seen on the left of this image.
This frost was recently discovered by ESA’s ExoMars and Mars Express missions. The researchers spotted frost on not only Olympus Mons but on the other Tharsis volcanoes of Arsia Mons, Ascraeus Mons and Ceraunius Tholus. This is the first time that water frost has been found near Mars’s equator, a part of the planet where it was thought improbable for frost to exist.
The landscape on the right side of the image is filled with wrinkle ridges that lie inside the caldera, while the rippled structures on the centre-left are collapsed caldera rim terraces.
The image is false colour, meaning that the colours shown here are not those that would be seen by the human eye. This is because the CaSSIS instrument onboard ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter is sensitive to near-infrared light (which is invisible to our eyes), and the image has stretched contrast to better show the details of the terrain. In this false-colour image the water ice frost appears blue. False-colour images are really useful for scientists, revealing more information than can be seen with the human eye. Read more on how CaSSIS constructs its blue-hued images, and how this allows us to explore the Red Planet.
The image resolution is 4.5 m/pixel, and the Local Solar Time is 7:11 AM.

Sunset after a hot and humid day. I am surprised how far the sunset has moved in relation to the skyline structures. How did summer slip away?

I'm sharing this photo to illustrate the temporary footbridge that was erected at the west end of Yatton station for a short while during 2011 to allow the original footbridge (at the east end) to undergo maintenance.

An inbound New Haven Line train crosses the Saugatuck River Railroad Bridge in Westport, CT. The bridge features a pedestrian walkway, which affords some very neat views of the infrastructure and trains. Note here how the employee crossing on the bridge is supported by old rail sections!

Modern Sculpture Installations Placed Along the Lincolnshire Coast.
"Structures on the Edge is about artists responding to isolated places along the coast and coming up with ideas to make them more interesting."(Quote from Lincs County Council)
I ask - WHY IS ISOLATED NATURE NOT INTERESTING in it's self.
If councils feel the need to direct limited funds at so called art installations why can they not put them in urban areas that have already had their nature destroyed. (Sorry rant over)

A Male Northern Shoveler preening in the early morning light on the Tack Piece Lagoon.
The Northern Shoveler is my favourite Duck that we see in the UK.
The Northern Shoveler, or Shoveler, is a Dabbling Duck and is common in northern areas of Europe, Asia and North America.
The Shovelers bill has developed a comb like structure on its edges which acts like a sieve to filter out food from the water's surface.
Overwhelmed by the huge structure of the Refa'i Mosque and the tiny details of the decorations on its exterior walls, and by the large marble columns that are a part of the entrance portal. The designers and builders of this grand mosque paid considerable attention to every single detail of its ornamentation
