While the Hickory Hill Sears liquidation had a very healthy-sized crowd when we visited, the one here at Wolfchase was by far the most crowded liquidation (of any retailer) I've ever been to. Having registers even temporarily unavailable was certainly not a good thing. By comparison, the Jonesboro Sears closing was pretty much snoozeville, while Whitehaven Sears was somewhere in the middle. (Reminder to myself to hunt down some more Whitehaven Sears pics if I can find them) :P

The Alaska Highway travels through some pretty gorgeous but remote and unforgiving country. It has changed a great deal since I first travelled it in the mid 70's, and probably bares little to no resemblance to the original military road that shares its name.
Unfortunately, as the highway has been straightened, improved and paved, the need for many of the lodges that festooned its length and provided much needed respite for those travelling on older versions of the trail has diminished. In some cases, they were abandoned when the road shifted, in other cases, the owners may have died, moved on, or simply given up. This photo was taken on the site of one of those many boarded up and decaying vestiges of the past.

On February 21, Bear Lake had a thin skin of ice as far as we could see. A day later, most of it was gone as high winds pushed the ice onto the shore. See the next photo.

I am back again for a while ..so well catch up when I can.

Crossing a temporary bridge over the Merced River along CA 140. The highway was blocked by the landslide on the left. The bridge is one-way, with traffic lights alternating the direction.
Behind the old M&S store in Stevenage there is extensive refurbishment that should improve the area. What was once retail outlets are being replaced with apartment starting at about £180000. Because of the way we shop now the shops that are being replaced were not very profitable and it was difficult to attract investors and retailers.

Anzac Memorial Park was established as The Strand Park in the 1910s, but the foreshore along The Strand, Townsville's main frontage to Cleveland Bay, had developed as a recreation area from the 1860s, the earliest days of settlement. The whole of the foreshore between King and Howitt Streets was gazetted a temporary reserve for public purposes in February 1901, and a section of this, between the Customs House and King Street, was proclaimed a permanent reserve for park purposes in June 1912.
As early as 1866, Townsville's more affluent residents were constructing homes along the beachfront, and by 1872, three hotels had been erected opposite the present Anzac Memorial Park. The Strand was unformed at this time, being little more than a track along the foreshore, and there were no shade trees, but the beach was popular with bathers (mainly male) from at least the late 1870s. In 1881 the town council planted 30 cedar trees along the foreshore, and added cocoa and betel nut trees in early 1882. In 1883, following strong public demand, a road was made along the beach front to Kissing Point. By 1889, the Strand, between King Street and Kissing Point, made a glorious promenade on a moonlight night when the breeze blows straight and cool from Magnetic Island. Photographs of the Strand in 1888 show banyan trees several years old, as well as more recent plantings, and a reserve for public baths (opposite the then quarry site on the Strand) was gazetted in 1889.
One of the earliest structures erected along the foreshore was an ornamental fountain/bird-bath, extant by 1905, which remained in the park reserve to the 1950s at least. In 1908 a drinking fountain was constructed opposite Queen's Hotel, near the corner of Wickham Street and the Strand. It was located outside the park proper, on the road verge, and was erected as a memorial to WJ Castling, a butcher and former Mayor of Townsville. This drinking fountain was moved to the western end of the park, probably during road works after 1924.
One of the principal instigators of the establishment of a formal park along The Strand was John Henry Tyack, owner of Queen's Hotel 1899 - 1913, alderman in the Townsville City Council 1906 - 1913, and mayor of Townsville in 1912. He had commissioned the elaborate re-building of Queen's Hotel, one of the few grand hotels of Northern Queensland, starting in 1902 - 1904, and took an interest in beautifying the foreshore opposite. In April 1912, during Tyack's term as mayor, Townsville City Council applied to have the foreshore along the Strand, from the sea baths to King Street, gazetted as the Strand Park. The Council had already spent a considerable amount of money on foreshore improvements and intended to spend more. In June 1912, about 4.5 acres were proclaimed a permanent reserve for park purposes, extending from King Street to Cleveland Street.
As early as 1901, Council had considered erecting a new bandstand on the beach, but this project did not eventuate until 1913. Through Henry Tyack's efforts, a public subscription was raised for the construction of a small, ornate bandstand in the park. The structure was designed by Sydney architect AB Polin, who had designed the new Queen's Hotel for Tyack circa 1902, when resident in Townsville as the North Queensland representative of the architectural firm of Eaton, Bates and Polin. J Crase & Co., ironworkers and brass founders of Brisbane, supplied the cast iron scroll work and pillars for the bandstand, in the same design as that used on the Queen's Hotel, and construction was carried out by municipal employees. The bandstand was nearing completion when Tyack died on the 28th of July 1913, and it was dedicated in Tyack's memory on the 27th of September 1913, by Alderman RW McClelland, Mayor of Townsville. The stand was intended to cater for both band and vocal concerts, mainly during the summer months.
Initially, the bandstand was located opposite the main entrance gates to the park. It was relocated to the eastern end of the park when the Queensland Centenary Fountain was constructed on the same site in 1959.
In 1914 - 1915, a bowling green and clubhouse were constructed on land at the southern end of the Strand Park, the land being leased by the newly established Townsville Bowls Club from the City Council. The first clubhouse was destroyed during cyclone Althea in December 1971, the grass was replaced with an artificial green in 1992, and in 1994 the land occupied by the bowls club was excised from the park. It no longer forms part of the Entry in the Heritage Register for Anzac Memorial Park.
From at least the 1920s, the Strand Park was a focus for Anzac Day activities. In 1923 - 1924 a memorial clocktower was erected in the park, to the west of the bandstand. The memorial was financed by public subscription, and was designed and constructed by monumental masons Melrose and Fenwick of Townsville. The design had been finalised by September 1923, and the monument was completed by Anzac Day 1924, when it was unveiled and dedicated by the Governor of Queensland, Sir Matthew Nathan.
When first established, a picket fence divided the park from the roadway. By 1924, that section of the timber fence opposite Queen's Hotel, near the intersection of Wickham Street and the Strand, had been replaced with park entrance gates and fencing of wrought-iron panels set between masonry pillars. Also by 1924, several canon, probably trophies from the 1914 - 1918 war, were located east and west of the bandstand; the park was lit by gas? lamps; and a children's playground had been constructed at the western end of the park, near the sea baths. No evidence of this early playground survives.
In October 1925, the park was described as being tastefully laid out and planted with ornamental trees, shrubs with foliage of variegated colours, and lawns of couch grass, and attracted hundreds of people to the Sunday evening band and orchestral concerts. In the 1920s, the park was considered a tourist attraction, and was extended to over 6 acres in July 1926, by including the land up to the sea baths reserve.
Early in 1934, the name was changed to Anzac Memorial Park, and a metal arch bearing the new name was erected above the entrance gates, in time for the April the 25th Anzac Day commemorations.
In April 1953, Anzac Memorial Park was extended to 9 acres, and in 1959 the bandstand was relocated within the park to permit construction in its place of a fountain to commemorate the centenary of Queensland's separation from New South Wales.
In December 1971, cyclone Althea caused substantial damage to the park. Many of the 1880s trees were destroyed and others stripped of their leaves. Subsequently, the Townsville City Council erected a plaque in the park, to commemorate the role of the Australian Army in the restoration of Townsville after the cyclone.
Prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea Commemorations in 1992, the gardens in Anzac memorial Park were replanted and most of the memorial structures were cleaned and/or repainted. A large Coral Sea Battle Memorial was built to the north of the Centenary Fountain. The memorial commemorates the role of Australian and American servicemen in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942. About the same period, a new children's play area was created between the bandstand and the Centenary Fountain.

A quick, low-light shot of a loon off the dock in the backyard. At one point we had 5 of them! Usually it's one or two at a time.
Temporary Iron Assembly: A group of anonymous designers created this large sculpture (H 74, W 110, D 180 m) in the northern part of Utrecht (NL). They may have inspired Richard Serra or have been inspired by RS, although unconfirmed sources whisper that Drager Meurtant was the inspirator

The result of an adapted lesson in Photoshopping, Molly sports back and arm tattoos... but only for this photo.
Another photo taken during our 2 weeks (almost) of gorgeous weather a little while ago; this is the Bow River in the midst of thawing out after having been covered in a thick layer of snow and ice. There are thousands of ice pieces floating down the river and the melting ice and snow along the bank beautifully reflects the trees on the hilltop on the other side of the river

Toronto's disappearing old mid-century architecture. A few months ago I sort of accidentally went to downtown's Adelaide/ Richmond Streets area, and came across architecture of Toronto's industrial past. Many such old and vintage buildings are being demolished to make room for residential high-rises which in Canada and the U.S. are called condominiums (or condos). I thought I'd capture what remains before they are also re-developed.

Class 640 'LINT 27' single-car diesel-hydraulic unit No. 640 015 waits at Bad Ems station in the German Land of Rhineland-Palatinate with a service that will head east towards Limburg on Monday 26th May 2025.
When this photo was shot, the line heading west - towards Koblenz - was subject to long-term closure for substantial engineering work, effectively making Bad Ems the temporary terminus of the Lahntalbahn (the Lahn Valley Railway). As you can see, the station itself was also undergoing refurbishment at this time.
Bad Ems is twinned with Droitwich Spa in the UK.
Temporary wig, it's a tiny bit too hairy, and red. And that makes a lot of red! I gotta get used to it :D
The Women Are Persons sculptures temporarily relocated on the Plaza Bridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Created in 2000, this monument is a tribute the Famous Five: Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Emily Murphy and Henrietta Muir Edwards, all from Alberta.
The Famous Five brought a case before the highest court in the British Empire to appeal a 1928 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada. That court had ruled that women could not be appointed to the Senate, because they were not “qualified persons.” On October 18, 1929, the Privy Council reversed this decision. This sculpture was also featured on the back of the $50 bill.
Artist Barbara Paterson of Edmonton, also created a similar work for the Olympic Plaza in Calgary.
These sculptures have been temporarily relocated on the Plaza Bridge from their former and much deserved location on Parliament Hill, as the grounds of the latter are under construction for the creation of a large underground complex which in part will include a visitors' centre, tunnels linking Parliament's three buildings, underground committee rooms for MPs, and also to add security measures.
The project will be a herculean task expected to take roughly a decade to complete and involve billions of dollars according to:

A nice Swedish temporary plate, something I wouldn't spot until 2015, which makes this one my second upload. As the plate frame already suggests, this is a car picked up at the Volvo factory. I wonder if Volvo offers something similiar to Porsche, Mercedes etc. where you can pick up your car at the factory and get a guidance there. I don't think importing Volvos one-by-one isn't economical.
