In response to the sudden Halton Transport demise, most Merseyside operators took over contracts on emergency contracts. For Stagecoach this meant 5 Tridents and 5 Darts were brought into action at Gillmoss, the latter having been stored out of use there. The Tridents all came from Manchester, where the type had made a 6 month return to, when some routes were enhanced due to student growth. Above we see 18365 with 18326, outnumbering modern successor 10820 at Kirkby Civic Centre.
Brief histories of the 5 Tridents, which have all since been taken out of use at Gillmoss:
18325 had been at Barrow before use at Sharston, being new to Manchester in 2005
18326 had been at Carlisle before use at Stockport, being new to Manchester in 2005
18365 had been at Carlisle before use at Stockport, being new to Manchester in 2005
18372 had been stored in Merseyside at Rock Ferry, before initial use at Wigan, passing to Sharston in its last few months in Manchester, being new to Manchester in 2005
18442 had been stored in Merseyside at Rock Ferry before use at Stockport, being new to Gloucester in 2006
This creation looks rather nice sitting on my desk! It’ll be there till tomorrow, until it’s destroyed like all my creations, though that’s usually right after it’s been uploaded. Oh well—fun while it lasted.

SET 7 – Oxford Kroger, 2020 Remodel/Expansion
This next shot was taken from more or less the same angle as the previous one, but several steps back – and wow, do those steps make a huge difference as to what else gets included in the scene! Now, in addition to a lot of that stuff from before, we also get to see – way off in the background on the right-hand side – what remains of the dairy department, halfway hidden behind its tarp. And more interestingly, in the foreground, we see the makeshift new home of the health and beauty department, occupying the former space of natural foods. It ain’t pretty, especially with that extra bit of shelving placed in front of the existing gondolas unnaturally extending the length of the aisle, but it gets the job done! Note also how this temporary department was very much bare-bones in terms of presentation; there are no endcaps nor are there shelves/HABA décor pieces at the very top of the fixtures, as one would typically see.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
While the Bible, liturgy and reading of the Fathers are essential for the monastic life of contemplation, Merton tells us they are meant to bring us to “encounter the life-giving and creative Spirit who, in full continuity with the ‘old,’ is able to ‘make all things new’ and indeed to fuse the old and the new in an original and entirely creative unity” (113). Whether one is a monk, a lay member of the Church or a seeker responding to Merton’s ever-broadening ecumenical outreach, he would have us open up to an ever-new and more living sense of the life of the Spirit in our world today. This invitation is as challenging now as it ever was.

[ENG] The complex of Wetlands of Sastago-Bujaraloz constitutes a set of endorheic lagoons without drainage, temporary and saline, considered as the most extensive and important in Europe, being unique for its peculiarities. It is located between the towns of Bujaraloz (Huesca, Spain) and Sástago (Zaragoza, Spain) between the regions of Los Monegros and the Ribera Baja de Ebro. These lagoons are flooded after the rains, and some - located below the water table - They also receive underground water, the latter being the ones with the highest concentration of salts. The evaporation exposes the bottom of the lagoon with a characteristic white saline crust. The vegetation that lives in the salt flats is adapted to low rainfall and extreme temperatures, and is arranged in concentric rings depending on its tolerance to salinity, the macrophytes appearing inside the buckets. Among the inhabitants of the salt flats, the aquatic invertebrates that have adapted their cycle to the presence of water stand out. And in its vicinity you can see foxes, rabbits, garden dormouse and ocellated lizards, as well as the birds short-toed snake eagle, Eurasian stone-curlew, golden eagle, common sandpiper, lesser kestrel, Dupont's lark, black-bellied sandgrouse and pin-tailed sandgrouse.
The Salada de la Playa is the largest of the whole and with the greatest presence of water, in which there are ruins of constructions related to the exploitation of salt dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, between those that include evaporation terraces, wells, salt store and barracks of soldiers guarding the farms.

[ESP] El complejo de Humedales de Sástago-Bujaraloz constituye un conjunto de lagunas endorreicas (sin desagüe), temporales y salinas, considerado como el más extenso e importante de Europa, siendo único por sus particularidades. Está situado entre las localidades de Bujaraloz (Huesca, España) y Sástago (Zaragoza, España) entre las comarcas de Los Monegros y la Ribera Baja de Ebro. Estas lagunas se inundan tras las lluvias, y algunas –situadas por debajo del nivel freático- también reciben agua subterráneas, siendo estas últimas las que tienen mayor concentración de sales. La evaporación deja al descubierto el fondo de la laguna con una costra salina blanca característica. La vegetación que vive en las salinas está adaptada a las lluvias escasas y a las temperaturas extremas, y se dispone en anillos concéntricos en función de su tolerancia a la salinidad, apareciendo en el interior de las cubetas los macrófitos. Entre los moradores de las salinas destacan los invertebrados acuáticos que han adaptado su ciclo a la presencia de agua. Y en sus proximidades se pueden observar zorros, conejos, lirón careto y lagartos ocelados, así como las aves culebrera europea, avutarda, archibebe común, alcaraván, ágila real, andarríos chico, cernícalo primilla, rocín o alondra de Dupond, ganga ortega y ganga común.
La Salada de la Playa es la mayor de todo el conjunto y con mayor presencia de agua, en la que existen ruinas de construcciones relacionadas con la explotación de la sal que datan de los siglos XVII y XVIII, entre las que se incluyen eras de evaporación, pozos, almacén de sal y cuartel de soldados que custodiaban las explotaciones.

Picture Winter : Day 28
Details of Winter
Prompt: Winters in the Midwest can be dark and dreary months. When the big picture looks too grey and uninviting, it can help to slow down and focus on small details that reveal a quiet beauty unique to the season-a dried out blossom from the previous season peeking through a fence, reaching for the waning sun. A fallen autumn leaf frozen in a sheet of ice. A piece of driftwood washed up on a winter beach. The beauty is in the details, waiting to be captured.
This place, this location, these items, and their owners-- all are there except the moments when this photo was captured in the October of 2009

Boys and girls aged about eight to 25 hit the streets of Malaga today on some temporary basketball courts.
Just moved into my new room, though I'd take a picture of the soon to be old setup so I can archive it. New setup in a week..or two.
A sizeable section of May Blvd. beyond Getwell was closed completely as of last weekend, and some lanes on Getwell near the bridge were closed off as well. Temporary traffic headaches for sure!

Came across this student inside Macca's. She gave permission to take her photo (from the side).

Shelving that was once along the original interior wall (where the ClickList installation was to occur) had been pulled out by May 12, 2016, and had temporary cleats installed on the back side for support. This made for quite the cramped quarters in this department for several days or more!

also known as a barricade, or at least a part of it. it must have been reclaimed by the town since the next time i drove by it was no longer there, having fulfilled its purpose.
HFF, all :)
Visiting my brother in Athens, Georgia for Christmas, my flight out of Atlanta back home to La Guardia airport on Monday morning was canceled.......obviously......
So I am stranded in the South.
I was unable to get a flight out of Atlanta until Thursday, 30th!.
(Which, in retrospect is a good thing, because if I had changed my flight to today, I still probably wouldn't have gotten out.)
Since I wanted to get back earlier, my parents suggested trying Charleston or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They had space on a flight from from Charleston to La Guardia, Wednesday evening, which I jumped on!
So, after a 5 hour car trip with my parents yesterday afternoon, here I am at a Pawley's Island internet cafe paying for internet time by the minute!
I am viewing this whole thing as a divinely-enforced vacation.......and am looking forward to plenty of photo ops in Charleston tomorrow.
I promise to catch up with everyone soon, but right now, internet time is precious.
I hope you like road-trip photos!!!

Monarch Airlines was an early buyer of B757's, this one is line No:18 and was delivered to Monarch in Apr-83 as G-MONC. It was leased to Hispania Lineas Aereas in Nov-88 and re-registered with the Spanish temporary registration EC-211 the following month.
It returned to Monarch as G-MONC in Mar-89. In Apr-90 it was leased to a German leasing company and sub-leased to Condor Flugdienst for 2 years as D-ABNY, returning to Monarch in Mar-92 as G-MONC.
In May-96 the aircraft was leased to Air Holland. Operated by Monarch for a year it was re-registered PH-AHO in May-97. In Nov-97 Air Holland sub-leased it to Air Gabon for 2 months. It returned in Jan-98 and continued in operation with Air Holland until it was returned to Monarch in Apr-99, again as G-MONC.
In Nov-08, then almost 26 years old, it was permanently retired at Lasham, UK, and broken up there in Feb-09.
