Sergiyev Posad (Russian: Се́ргиев Поса́д) is a city and the administrative center of Sergiyevo-Posadsky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia. Population: 111,179 (2010 Census); 113,581 (2002 Census); 114,696 (1989 Census).
It was previously known as Sergiyev Posad (until 1919), Sergiyev (until 1930), Zagorsk (until 1991).
Sergiyev Posad grew in the 15th century around one of the greatest of Russian monasteries, the Trinity Lavra established by St. Sergius of Radonezh, still (as of 2015) one of the largest monasteries in Russia. Town status was granted to Sergiyev Posad in 1742. The town's name, alluding to St. Sergius, has strong religious connotations. Soviet authorities changed it first to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in 1930, in memory of the revolutionary Vladimir Mikhailovich Zagorsky
The original name was restored in 1991.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Sergiyev Posad serves as the administrative center of Sergiyevo-Posadsky District. As an administrative division, it is, together with twenty-six rural localities, incorporated within Sergiyevo-Posadsky District as the City of Sergiyev Posad. As a municipal division, the City of Sergiyev Posad is incorporated within Sergiyevo-Posadsky Municipal District as Sergiyev Posad Urban Settlement.
Tourism associated with the Golden Ring plays a role in the regional economy. There is also an important toy factory.
The Moscow–Yaroslavl railway and highway pass through the town. Sergiyev Posad Bus Terminal is located in the city.

El monasterio de la Trinidad y San Sergio (en ruso Тро́ице-Се́ргиева Ла́вра; o Tróitse-Sérguieva Lavra) en la ciudad de Sérguiev Posad (antiguo Zagorsk) es un importante monasterio ruso y centro espiritual de la iglesia ortodoxa rusa. Sérguiev Posad se encuentra a unos 70 kilómetros al noreste de Moscú en la carretera que va a Yaroslavl. Actualmente alberga a unos 300 monjes. Según la Unesco, que lo declaró Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1993, se trata de «un buen ejemplo de monasterio ortodoxo en funcionamiento, con rasgos militares típicos de los siglos XV al XVIII, período durante el que se desarrolló.»
La iglesia principal de la Laura (monasterio), la catedral de la Asunción, recuerda la homónima catedral del Kremlin y alberga las tumbas de los Godunov.
Siendo monje de la Laura, Andréi Rubliov pintó, para el iconostasio de la catedral, su más célebre icono La Trinidad que actualmente se expone en la Galería Tretiakov de Moscú.

The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius (Russian: Тро́ице-Се́ргиева Ла́вра) is the most important Russian monastery and the spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery is situated in the town of Sergiyev Posad, about 70 km to the north-east from Moscow by the road leading to Yaroslavl, and currently is home to over 300 monks.
The monastery was founded in 1337 by one of the most venerated Russian saints, Sergius of Radonezh, who built a wooden church in honour of the Holy Trinity on Makovets Hill. Early development of the monastic community is well documented in contemporary lives of Sergius and his disciples.
In 1355, Sergius introduced a charter which required the construction of auxiliary buildings, such as refectory, kitchen, and bakery. This charter was a model for Sergius' numerous followers who founded more than 400 cloisters all over Russia, including the celebrated Solovetsky, Kirillov, and Simonov monasteries.
St. Sergius supported Dmitri Donskoi in his struggle against the Tatars and sent two of his monks, Peresvet and Oslyabya, to participate in the Battle of Kulikovo (1380). At the outbreak of the battle, Peresvet died in a single combat against a Tatar bogatyr. The monastery was devastated by fire, when a Tatar unit raided the area in 1408.
St. Sergius was declared patron saint of the Russian state in 1422. The same year the first stone cathedral was built by a team of Serbian monks who had found refuge in the monastery after the Battle of Kosovo. The relics of St. Sergius still may be seen in this cathedral, dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The greatest icon painters of medieval Russia, Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chyorny, were summoned to decorate the cathedral with frescoes. Traditionally, Muscovite royals were baptized in this cathedral and held thanksgiving services here.
In 1476, Ivan III invited several Pskovian masters to build the church of the Holy Spirit. This graceful structure is one of the few remaining examples of a Russian church topped with a belltower. The interior contains the earliest specimens of the use of glazed tiles for decoration. In the early 16th century, Vasily III added the Nikon annex and the Serapion tent, where several of Sergius' disciples were interred.
It took 26 years to construct the six-pillared Assumption Cathedral, which was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1559. The cathedral is much larger than its model and namesake in the Moscow Kremlin. The magnificent iconostasis of the 16th–18th centuries features Simon Ushakov's masterpiece, the icon of Last Supper. Interior walls were painted with violet and blue frescoes by a team of Yaroslavl masters in 1684. The vault contains burials of Boris Godunov, his family and several 20th-century patriarchs.
As the monastery grew into one of the wealthiest landowners in Russia, the woods where it had stood were cleared and a village (or posad) sprang up near the monastery walls. It gradually developed into the modern town of Sergiyev Posad. The cloister itself was a notable centre of chronicle-writing and icon painting. Just opposite the monastery walls St. Paraskeva's Convent was established, among whose buildings St. Paraskeva's Church (1547), Introduction Church (1547), and a 17th-century chapel over St. Paraskeva's well are still visible.
In 1550s, a wooden palisade surrounding the cloister was replaced with 1.5 km-long stone walls, featuring twelve towers, which helped the monastery to withstand a celebrated 16-month Polish-Lithuanian siege in 1608–1610. A shell-hole in the cathedral gates is preserved as a reminder of Wladyslaw IV's abortive siege in 1618.
By the end of the 17th century, when young Peter I twice found refuge within the monastery from his enemies, numerous buildings had been added. These include a small baroque palace of the patriarchs, noted for its luxurious interiors, and a royal palace, with its facades painted in checkerboard design. The refectory of St. Sergius, covering 510 square meters and also painted in dazzling checkerboard design, used to be the largest hall in Russia. The five-domed Church of John the Baptist's Nativity (1693–1699) was commissioned by the Stroganovs and built over one of the gates. Other 17th-century structures include the monks' cells, a hospital topped with a tented church, and a chapel built over a holy well discovered in 1644.
In 1744, Empress Elizabeth conferred on the cloister the dignity of a Lavra. The metropolitan of Moscow was henceforth also the Archimandrite of the Lavra. Elizabeth particularly favoured the Trinity and annually proceeded afoot from Moscow to the cloister. Her secret spouse Alexey Razumovsky accompanied her on such journeys and commissioned a baroque church to the Virgin of Smolensk, the last major shrine to be erected in the Lavra. Another pledge of Elizabeth's affection for the monastery is a white-and-blue baroque belltower, which, at 88 meters, was one of the tallest structures built in Russia up to that date. Its architects were Ivan Michurin and Dmitry Ukhtomsky.
Throughout the 19th century, the Lavra maintained its status as the richest Russian monastery. A seminary founded in 1742 was replaced by an ecclesiastical academy in 1814. The monastery boasted a supreme collection of manuscripts and books. Medieval collections of the Lavra sacristy attracted thousands of visitors. In Sergiyev Posad, the monastery maintained several sketes, one of which is a place of burial for the conservative philosophers Konstantin Leontiev and Vasily Rozanov.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Soviet government closed the lavra in 1920. Its buildings were assigned to different civic institutions or declared museums. In 1930, monastery bells, including the Tsar-Bell of 65 tons, were destroyed. Pavel Florensky and his followers prevented the authorities from stealing and selling the sacristy collection but overall many valuables were lost or transferred to other collections.
In 1945, following Joseph Stalin's temporary tolerance of the church during World War II, the Lavra was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. On April 16, 1946 divine service was renewed at the Assumption Cathedral. The lavra continued as the seat of the Moscow Patriarchate until 1983, when the patriarch was allowed to settle at the Danilov Monastery in Moscow. After that, the monastery continued as a prime centre of religious education. Important restoration works were conducted in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1993, the Trinity Lavra was inscribed on the UN World Heritage List.
The Lavra has a number of representative churches (podvorie or metochia) in its vicinity and throughout Russia. The Lavra's hieromonks have manned a number of sketes at remote locations (such as the Anzer Island in the Solovki Archipelago in the White Sea), as well as the Trinity Church on the King George Island in the Antarctic.
1107 is seen on Princes Street on day 7 of the Coronavirus lockdown and the second day of Lothian’s emergency timetable introduced on 29 March 2020. New timetables had already been due to come in over the network that day but the effects of the Coronavirus lockdown changed all that. Instead of coping with the Leith Walk tram works diversions (postponed as tram work ceased) , it has had to cut back on routes and frequencies in view of the massive fall in passenger numbers. The eastern end of route 44 has been cut back temporarily from Wallyford to Princes Street leaving buses on the route serving only the western section to and from Balerno. Off peak daytime frequency has also been reduced from every 10 minutes to every 30 minutes. Fleet number 1107 - new in 2019 - is seen against a background of Jenners and the Mercure (formerly Mount Royal) Hotel.
Remodel, Week 16
(cont.) Welp, as of the following week, I got my answer: it was a temporary relocation of the pharmacy! l_dawg2000 (and/or my mom; can’t remember who got to me first XD ) actually informed me of this, as I wasn’t in town that weekend. (He’s also already posted his own picture of it, which you can see here.) But the next weekend, I made sure to get my own photo of the tiny structure, even if I had to do it very quickly while we were in the checkout line! (As a result, please pardon the person visible on the right of the photograph :P )
For being a temporary pharmacy, this setup looks very complex… as it should, I suppose, considering that those are dozens of customers’ prescriptions and records they have to keep protected within that cramped little space. If you zoom in through the windows, you can see that this mini-pharmacy box even has its own drop ceiling and lighting, which is even more impressive! (I’d bet that that also makes it even more claustrophobic in there for the poor employees, though…) The only downsides to this temporary setup (besides the aforementioned issue of space) are the facts that when it gets busy, customers waiting in line will now interfere with the flow of shoppers exiting the checkouts, and, as those yellow signs at the pickup counter read, they’re only able to do prescription checkouts right now (no other services).
And in the interim, what’s becoming of the old pharmacy, you ask? Well, I’ll show you! Stay tuned for Part 2 of this update tomorrow… :)

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 :)
Metroline Travel TE946 (LK58KHM) on route 317 to Enfield, Little Park Gardens at Enfield on 06/04/2019
Metroline took over route 317 from Arriva London on 30th March 2019 and are currently using Alexander Dennis Enviro400 diesels until the intended Volvo B5LH/MCV Evosetis are released off route 134 when its Optare MetroDecker EV electrics arrive. Once that happens the route will have the lowest PVR of a route to be fully allocated hybrids, with a PVR of 5 (the 116 is currently the lowest with 7)
Quality Line took over the 293 from Go-Ahead London on Saturday 1st September 2018.
New Enviro200MMCs are awaited, due in October 2018, in the meantime, Optare Tempos are in use. This is a nice quirk as there are very very few Tempos about in London.
On day two of Quality Line operation, Tempo OT30210 (YJ11 EHS) is seen in Epsom. This was previously numbered OT10.
Ashley Road, Epsom, Surrey.
Shaniko History
As the five transcontinental railroad systems opened the United States to enormous economic growth from 1862 - 1893, the spur called “The Columbia Southern Railway” would open the eastern interior of Oregon for easier more profitable business. Papers were filed by the railroad company in 1897 to run track from the Columbia River at Biggs to a high grassland spot above the old stage stop of Cross Hollows. This was only to be a temporary terminus location and was decidedly named Shaniko.
Cross Hollows was operated by second owner, August Scherneckau from 1874-1887. He was well liked by the Indians, who could not pronounce his German name correctly. They called him 'Shaniko', thus the name chosen for the new and promising city. The Townsite Company bought the land from the third owner for $3,500 in 1899 as the railroad continued to lay track down through Sherman County. The Townsite Co. platted the town into thirty blocks. On May 13, 1900, the first train arrived to a few buildings and the tents that were pitched all over for the 170 or so people living in the infant town. The first wooden building built, a saloon, was operational.
Unfortunately, the railroad tracks could not to go any further than Shaniko due to terrain issues and the great railroad race of Harriman and Hill built tracks from the Columbia River along the Deschutes River, headed to Bend from 1908 to 1911. This put an end to the trek many grain farmers and livestock ranchers from the south previously made to Shaniko. The city, however, continued to meet many needs while approaching the slow decline. Most of the business district perished in a major fire in 1911; some never to be rebuilt. The people moved away, a few taking their homes with them. Though the railroad stopped service to Shaniko in 1942, people continued to live in the town.
Shaniko, Oregon is still classified as a Ghost Town even though people still live there. Once a place of legitimate community and commerce, it now survives as a shadow of its former existence. Ghost towns are categorized into three types: one still inhabited, one deserted, and one known only by the ground it once occupied.
With new interest in historic places in the 1960's, economic life began a slow revival. Today, the West lives on in Shaniko, as the community sees restorative changes and hosts events put on by the the City of Shaniko, Shaniko Chamber of Commerce and the Shaniko Preservation Guild. It’s a nice place to stay or just stretch your legs. The sunsets are beautiful and the sky can take you back a hundred years.

Almost all the crab spiders I find in the flowers are missing limbs. From what I understand, though, they grow back. I think this is Mecaphesa dubia.

Dear friends,
Here is a pic taken at the same place that my previous one (Seguin's island park in Boulogne Billancourt city).
Happy day!
For at least the second time this week a DRS Class 66 stands in for a poorly Colas example to head the 6J37 Carlisle - Chirk Kronospan log train, on this occasion No.66421.
The ensemble is seen at Greenlands, south of Langwathby on the Settle & Carlisle line.
Artist: SMOK
Sint-Mattheusstraat 1, 2140 Antwerpen (Borgerhout)
De artiest werd gevraagd om tegen de panelen werken te maken die gedurende de ganse duur van de werken zichtbaar zullen blijven. De kans is dus groot dat wanneer de werken afgelopen zijn de panelen ook zullen verdwijnen.
**********************************
The artist was asked to create works against the panels that will remain visible for the entire duration of the works. So there is a good chance that when the works are finished, the panels will also disappear.
After several days without skies and only fleeting blues, I searched the unedited takes for something of a sky. I think a run-off season flood may be due. This is a deep winter shot at Golden Ponds. I say deep winter as we wait for another snow that promises up to a foot-and-a-half of snow although we already suffered four days in May in the 80s. It looks like we were about smacked again. At least it is a sky! "Vee" is for Viceroy, as in the U.S. gummint.
Few areas are open if you desire a skiing vacation. A-Basin is due to get more snow this weekend. Most areas are on federal forest land and there, federal not Colorado's, drug laws apply to marijuana smoking. Marijuana is not new but potency, smoking clubs and vending machines ARE. The housing, especially smoking housing, is at a premium however. Please... don't move here! We are over loaded w/ pot-heads for the dope and hops-heads for the record numbers of micro-brews.
When I stepped out of the office for lunch, these plastic bunkers were on the footpath just outside. They are hollow and get filled up with water when in use. I went "oooh ... wow" and proceeded to snap away, while my colleague thought to herself "what an eyesore", until I showed her this beautiful yin-yang line. She saw my fascination then, and commented that I tended to see beauty in everything.

Longing and eager we meet to appease our curiosity, our expectations. We need to abate the loneliness or the longing with a temporary fix.
Formerly the Globe (as you can see), which had closed. Part of it reopened temporarily as Cease & Desist, but this too is now an ex-pub. It was almost named the Les Dennis Lounge : www.theargus.co.uk/news/17760180.les-dennis-fan-desperate...
Hopefully someone will come along and give this place some TLC.
As it was in 2012 as the Globe:

All them panels up top are in restoration in New Jersey. I guess New Jersey's finally good for something, ha ha ha, no one cares about this burn and I'm sure New Jersey's somewhat OK.
The returning CP-BN transfer pauses for a while in the West 7th neighborhood in St. Paul while traffic clears up along the CP and UP in downtown. The Soo Line's final locomotive on their roster leads the show today, though repainted and renumbered for CP.
