Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 11:21am on Wednesday 28th July 2021 at 81 Central Parade, in front of Waltrop Gardens, looking towards the remnants of one of the original piers at Herne Bay on the Thames Estuary, CT6 5JQ, England.
This is all that remains of the third pier at Herne Bay, with just the steamer passengers landing stage remaining after a storm January 11th 1978 which wrecked the 3,787ft (1,154m) wooden pier, designed by Wrighton & Co which originally opened in 1899.Further out we see the Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm, completed in 2005 and located on a shallow plateau just outside the main Thames shipping lanes. You can also see a cluster of Maunsell sea forts built in 1942 and decommissioned in the 1950's.

I left at 9am for the One hour journey down with the possibility of sun, cloud and rain showers. At Herne Bay it was time for my usual stop at 'Makcari's Coffee Lounge & Ice Cream Parlour' for a slice of cherry and almond gateaux and a lovely latte coffee before a pleasant stroll on a mixed day. With rain off in the distance I headed back to the car, just getting inside before the heavens opened!
On the drive home torrential rain and wind made it impossible to see the road ahead at times, before clearing and sunny spells dominating. A typical British summer day, you might say!

Today i went to get inked for the second time. This is my third tattoo, a kind of belated b-day present from me to me :)
What people say is true, when you first get a tattoo you want another and another...
If i could i would like to have 6 in total... But it will need time and money!!
(With apologies to Philip K Dick).
Yet another variation in Harlequin markings, this one doesn't even have the characteristic 'M/W marking on the pronotum. However the keel is evident, so I'm confident.
Greater Manchesters third Leyland Titan storms through Piccadilly bus station in April 1985 having arrived from Stockport. Of the 190 Titans originally ordered only fifteen were to materialise and this one was the first of five to be powered by Leylands TL11 engine. Indeed the five were the first buses in the GMT fleet to feature a turbocharged engine, the remaining ten having Gardners naturally aspirated 6LXB unit. Initially allocated to Birchfields Road garage it was soon dispatched to Stockport to join the other four so as to keep all the Leyland powered vehicles together. The Gardner vehicles would later settle at the tiny garage at Glossop after briefly working five apiece from Birchfields and Oldham.

So much laughter, our stomachs were hurting. Then, awkwardly, there was some chemistry floating in the air. It was so heavy...

If I have this right from the limited information available, this used to be the third Riding School.
Built in 1953, this building had accommodation for 70 horses and included an exercise ring, tack rooms, and forage space. The school was staffed by a Riding Master and his assistants. A gallery at the East end of the building provided visitors with a view of activities in the school.
In the 1920s and 1930s, there were two cavalry units, one in Regina and one in Ottawa.
In 1966, riding on horseback ceased to be part of police duties for new members of the RCMP. The unit then moved to Pakenham, Ontario in 1968 and became a separate unit.
I do not know what the building is currently used for.

Ayumi was unlucky in the recent Sexy Diva contest - one meagre vote!
She deserved another opportunity to shine.
It is said that blondes have more fun, but do they achieve less success too? ;-)
Nah. :-)

"Sognando di nuovo quella faccia
E' vivida, blu e luccica tremolando
Sorride apertamente
E mi conforta con i suoi tre occhi caldi e selvaggi"

Owned by a friend of James' family; he owns hundreds of military uniforms, most dating to WWII. His collection includes, but isn't limited to, female Russian pilot uniforms (the Night Witches) to Nazis to Canadian Mounties.
Finished a CPR course at uni today to find a message on my phone from a friend to give him a call ASAP with big news. Upon reaching him, was told that there was triple QRN 6020 class on BM7, followed by Indian Pacific NR leading BA4 and finally NR103. On my previous 2 attempts NR103 had been elusive, coming after dark or not leading.
As we reached Pennant Hills, the triple QRN 6020 class went through so I knew I had just enough time to race home and get my camera and get back down for a shot.
Having sprinted to the car, raced home and then back to Cheltenham, I found my efforts were not in vain as a suburban to Chatswood was still to arrive. Seeing this I was able to relax a little and set up my shot. Shortly afterwards, NR103 appeared heading south making all the effort put in for the shot completely worth it
This is my picture from the third grade. It was taken in the fall of 1957.

The third chapel is the one consecrated to the "Santissimo Sacramento", also called the "Torres chapel", is defined artistically and structurally as the most beautiful in the Cathedral, due to its frescoes on the dome and due to the elaborate architectural decorations that compose it.
It was built in 1616 by the brothers Andrea and Giovanni Vermexio. Its plan is octagonal and its main feature are the wall bas-reliefs that surround it, composed of Corinthian-style columns adorned with numerous gilded finishes. In Baroque style, the center of the chapel has a tabernacle (or ciborium) in gilded wood in the shape of a small temple, the work of the Neapolitan architect and painter Luigi Vanvitelli, known for being the one who designed the Royal Palace of Caserta in Naples. On the sides of the altar there are two portals, surrounded by elaborate sculptural decorations, which lead to the Sacristy of the Cathedral.
At the center of the altar there is a carved marble frontal, the work of the Florentine sculptor Filippo Valle who worked there in 1762 and which depicts the Last Supper of Jesus. The marble balustrade and the artistic decoration of the floor are the work of the Palermitan Ignazio Marabitti and Neapolitan Giovan Battista Marino, the contract for the work was made to them by the Syracusan architect Pompeo Picherali who, now in old age, admired the work of the young Marabitti and entrusted them with the work in 1746. The floor of the chapel is thought to be the work of the same two sculptors mentioned above, but we rely on intuition for the attribution since no document in this regard has been found, however by observing the similarity and similar harmony that exists with the balustrade, this theory has therefore been deduced.
In the chapel, on the left side, there is the Sepulcher of Archbishop Luigi Bignami, a structure sculpted by the Catanese sculptor Sebastiano Agati. Also laterally in the chapel there is also a precious statue depicting the Madonna del Rosario, the work of unknown artists, the statue is placed on a small altar, placed on a cavity which is surrounded by two slender Corinthian-style marble columns that overlook the gray -green and above them there is a worked tympanum with sculpted bas-reliefs in the center. Three cartaglorias were the work of the Roman silversmith Giuseppe Veladier (1791. The censers and the shuttle were the work of the silversmith Lorenzo Petronelli and other silver furnishings were instead the work of the Syracusan Chindemi brothers. He informs in his studies about the silverware of the chapel, and to relations with the Roman silverware school, the Syracusan (from Canicattini Bagni) Giuseppe Agnello
The wrought iron gates with the Eucharistic symbols found between the Doric columns and the entrance to the chapel were worked by Domenico Ruggeri from Catania on the designs of Alessandro Campo in 1807-1811. The chapel is also called "Torres" because it was the Spanish bishop of Syracuse, Juan de Torres Osorio, who wanted its construction and edification, for this reason the chapel, in addition to the sacrament to which it was dedicated, also bears his name
When you have three tree photos that you adore, how can you choose an order in which to publish them? I don’t know! I figured that if I love all of them, then random is a good an order as necessary. I go through various levels of this every night when I put together the daily post for the next day. The selection process is fairly mentally grueling! :)

The third Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite, Sentinel-1C, has launched aboard a Vega-C rocket, flight VV25, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket lifted off on 5 December 2024 at 22:20 CET (18:20 local time).
Sentinel-1C extends the legacy of its predecessors, delivering high-resolution radar imagery to monitor Earth’s changing environment, supporting a diverse range of applications and advance scientific research. Additionally, Sentinel-1C introduces new capabilities for detecting and monitoring maritime traffic.
The launch also marks Vega-C’s ‘return to flight’, a key step in restoring Europe’s independent access to space. Vega-C is the evolution of the Vega family of rockets and delivers increased performance, greater payload volume and improved competitiveness.
