"Berwick Bridge, also known as the Old Bridge, spans the River Tweed in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England. The current structure is a Grade I listed stone bridge built between 1611 and 1624.
Prior to the construction of the stone bridge, the crossing was served by a series of wooden bridges. which were variously destroyed by flooding and military action. James Burrell became Surveyor of Works of the town in 1604, making him responsible for maintenance of the bridge. He was previously also occupied on the fortifications around Berwick before James VI and I ascended the throne of England, rendering them redundant.
In 1608, ten piers of the wooden bridge were destroyed by ice, and Burrell wrote to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, then Secretary of State, to recommend the construction of a stone bridge. Arrangements were made in May 1608 to collect funds, but only £3,300 had been collected by 1611, but the Captain of Berwick Sir William Bowyer was unsatisfied with this progress, and a proposal was made for a bridge with seven stone arches over the deepest part of the river and the rest built of wood. After further collapse of the old wooden bridge, a modified proposal, for an entirely stone bridge with 13 arches, and estimated to cost a further £8,462, was put to the Privy Council, and on 16 May 1611 the King ordered £8,000 to be put towards the bridge. Work started on the bridge on 19 June that year, and by September 170 men were employed on its construction. At some point it was decided to build it with 15 arches instead.
In 1618, a further £4,000 grant was given, but this money had been used by 1620 and the Privy Council placed the bridge project under the supervision of the Bishop of Durham Richard Neile before any more money was given. Neile contracted Burrell and the leading mason Lancelot Bramston to finish the bridge at a cost of £1,750, and installed John Johnson of Newcastle as supervisor. The bridge was completed by September 1621 except for the parapets and paving, but a flood in October 1621 swept away some masonry and the wooden centring. In light of the accident, a grant of £3,000 was made and work restarted the following March, and the bridge was opened to traffic in 1624, although minor work continued for the next decade.
The bridge became less important for road traffic as the main route moved westwards, first to the concrete Royal Tweed Bridge built in the 1920s, and then in the 1980s a bypass took the A1 road out of Berwick altogether.
It is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.
Berwick-upon-Tweed (/ˌbɛrɪk-/; Scots: Sooth Berwick, Scottish Gaelic: Bearaig a Deas) is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast, 2 1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) south of the Scottish border (the hamlet of Marshall Meadows is the actual northernmost settlement). Berwick is approximately 56 mi (90 km) east-south east of Edinburgh, 65 mi (105 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 mi (555 km) north of London.
The 2011 United Kingdom census recorded Berwick's population as 12,043. A civil parish and town council were created in 2008 comprising the communities of Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth.
Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was for more than 400 years central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The last time it changed hands was when Richard of Gloucester retook it for England in 1482. To this day many Berwickers feel a close affinity to Scotland.
Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Georgian Town Hall, its Elizabethan ramparts, and Britain's earliest barracks buildings, which Nicholas Hawksmoor built (1717–21) for the Board of Ordnance." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

This Bel Air belongs to the second generation Chevrolet Bel Air. This new generation was designed by Bill Mitchell (1912-1988) under supervision of Harley Earl (1893-1969).
A panoramic windscreen was new for the 1955 models, as well as the flat straight side panels on the rear and hood.
For model year 1957 a minor face-lift had taken place. Note the wider grille with integrated indicators and rubber bumper bar rosettes.
Chevrolet model year 1957 would be the last year single headlamps were applied.
After 1955 the rear wings increased year by year towards dramatic shapes. Around 1961 this hype ended for US-cars.
Private import.
Note the surrounding classic cars in the back (Peu 404, Volvo Amazon, Volvo 340). This was a quite normal street view in Amsterdam late 1990s.

Our consist is being pulled by No. 58 -- a 2-8-0 narrow gauge (3 ft 6 in) locomotive built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in 1953. I'm told it is the last narrow gauge steam locomotive to be built by Baldwin in the USA. The tank car contains water since there are no longer watering facilities for steam locomotives in Ecuador.

Help Wanted: Supervisor for the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel. Will provide housing, short walk to work. Attached sunroom. Attached dock for springtime fishing, Attached John. Double shingled roof. Transportation available. Here is the landscape version of the previous postimg.
D&RGW used to operate the tunnel and the big mines near Somerset and Paonia on the Western Slope even though it was D&SL (Denver & Salt Lake) that inspired the tunnel after years of winter snow fighting campaigns over the Hill Division on the Continental Divide. Denverites were always envious of Southern Wyoming and wanted their own transcontinental route to fuel its growth. D&SL operated the big standard gauge Mallets over to the Western Slope and ran many trains over the divide. This shack was a curiosity probably built after the tunnel. It sat in a meadow to the north side of the portal and it caught my eye. The long walk starts to turn toward the portal so I figure it was probably used for the crew that operated the portal in the early days before total automation and all the Magic Underwear shipments to Salt Lake blessed by the Holy Ghost. The crew probably would be ill advised to tip a few before heading home! I wonder how soggy the meadow got in the past; this year would a difficult one to compare to the past years.
It seems everyone has their eye on the tunnel but mine are on this. After our foray into the @844 excursion leaving Terry Bison Ranch and over at the UP yards, I didn't expect more RR pix any time soon, but: Who ever figures on Eddie popping up like a Whack-a-Mole? Just when you thought it was safe for your children to play outside! Eddie decided to take a shot at the changing aspen up the Rollinsville route to the tunnel and wanted me to tag along as Sluggo's equipment and brains bearer. It's a hard job but someone's gotta do it. As it worked out, there was quite a bit of activity at the eastern portal of the tunnel. I need to get another tour of the tunnel facilities. The light died with this curiosity shot. I'd like a better opportunity sometime. The same should go for the Anthrax train that had to wait for the coal train to pass, It often loses the block because it refuses to stick to it's schedule. Even the trailer train makes the Denver to Glenwood run an hour faster.
I realize that I happen to live in a fortuitous spot and will wait until the next trek or steam up to provide more great shooting.opportunities. I am about ready to look at the new round of images on my camera card.
After several years, I found a fault with my Man Cave. I know, I know. NOTHING could possibly be wrong with the Man Cave. The only downside, apparently, is that, for a month or two out of the year, there isn't enough light in my backyard due to the position of the setting sun relative to the trees to shoot in the late afternoon. On top of that, the large Man Cave casts a long shadow as well.
The solution was to build a mini-Man Cave. Sure, there is not a rocker-glider in the scaled-down version, but, at least it doesn't block the light. AND this one, being made from pvc pipe, can be pulled apart for transport in the car.
This guy helped out by overseeing the construction process. When I was testing the thing out, it came into the mini-cave and sat at my feet chattering (probably wanted a bribe to pass inspection). I had to explain that I was NOT abandoning the larger Man Cave and that NO he can't have it (although, from the looks of things, he tends to spend a good deal of time in there.
The light was pretty poor, but I was more trying the functionality of the mini cave than get shots.

As sometimes happens, I only get to see the whole picture during PP. I didn't realize that this hungry caterpillar was being observed by a small green grasshopper. I have trawled through my butterfly book, but can't ID the caterpillar. Maybe it is a moth - perhaps a hawkmoth? A rather imperfect shot, but I liked the situation.
