Another battered EWS class 37 - this time 37417 'Richard Trevithick', passing the site of Three Spires Goods yard in Coventry.
the 37/4 was traversing the Prologis branch from Kerseley back onto the Coventry to Nuneaton line, gaining access at Three Spires Junction, which by then was merely a single line and a crossover.
A far cry from the 1980's when the junction was busy with coal traffic from Kerseley Colliery, via Three Spires Yard. The junction featured several crossovers, including a single slip, all controlled via the charming ex L & NWR signalbox. (demolished in the 1999 after an arson attack).
For anyone interested, here is a link to the awesome "Derby Sulzers" website with some equally brilliant images showing trains at and around Three Spires Jn:

well worth a look.
My mate Rog Manton (weathering supremo) was on duty as signalman at the Portacabin that replaced the signalbox mentioned above that day. I didn't know Rog then, but its funny how people can be linked by places or events and not know each other, and you find out later that you were both there!

Hospital of the Holy Ghost on Stara Street, Frombork, Poland.
„Professional play with the body” is an exhibition that delineates a few timid purposes. These are: restoring the memory of former surgery; unimposing and non aggressive education; stimulation of the audience to individual reflection of the cases and the adventures of „human body”, which despite accidents, epidemics and wars lasted in its own no-humility, unruliness and willingness to be injured, fractured, dislocated, disabled, mutilated, or be contracted with the diseases of the interior. Surgeons undoubtedly belonged to the category of explorers, trying to (sometimes maybe too boldly) impose or enforce on that rebellious beings a „muzzle” and again give them an abstract concept of „health.”
Lined up in chronological order at Kingston Upon Thames, where we had lunch by the river. Roehampton student Katie on right next to older sister, Rachel. Being outnumbered and a downtrodden male I simply take the pictures…I know my place!
made these three lovely treats for my soon to be sewing room. hoping i can fit a small grey couch in there, and then these pillows will add a little pop to the otherwise bland seating.
this whole adventure was inspired by the talented members of the pillow talk swap. because i was to late to join in, i made myself my swap partner and created some funky statement pieces. the pincushion was a quick little morning experiment and intended to look completely different. not too surprisingly after a week of thinking in hexagon shapes, it ended up a hexagon afterall.
Three Lalylala dolls from the patterns by Lydia Tresselt. Lupine is the latest. She worked up a bit larger than the other two, probably due to the bobble stitches to make her fleecy body. I used Knit Picks Palette in bark for her skin, and Knit Picks Stroll in mocha tonal for the body.
What was encouraging was the rapt attention of the young persons and the respectfulness of the crowd.
I have bought myself a number of books this past few days and I am really excited. But can't really start reading them, it's kind of hard holding it with one hand.

CP 319 is returning from interchange with the CMQ (successor to the MMA) at Iberville with a lengthy train powered by three SD's (CP 5833, CP 6225 & CP 5959) as it passes Lasalle yard.
This house is located right next to Gripsholm Castle. I thought it had great symmetry, and as is usually the case, symmetry stands out even more in a photograph. There's something direful about the three doors – three choices that appear the same but may yield vastly different consequences.
The three wise monkeys (Japanese: 三猿, san'en or sanzaru, or 三匹の猿, sanbiki no saru, literally "three monkeys") are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

I've now completed the three way shootout series (four parts) between the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II, EF 16-35mm f/4L IS, and Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD. I've learned a lot about each of these lenses, and feel confident sharing my conclusions now after extensive testing. You can check out the conclusion of this comparison series and my buying recommendation here:

Sir William Jackson Hooker, Charles Darwin, and Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker. Three busts of perhaps the most notable figures in botany, inside the entrance lobby of the Herbarium, Kew.
I noticed that a large group of ducks that stuck around all last winter in a nearby stream that seemed to not freeze over. This year it is frozen and I have noticed several skeins of ducks flying overhead--perhaps looking for open water. I caught these three yesterday morning when it was about -10F here in Maine, (Skein is a collective noun for ducks in flight--I had to look it up.)
Three young Texans who think they are the Cat's Meow before the ancient term became popular. Each man has a partially smoked cigarette in his hand. The man standing on the left with cane and uniform is a cadet in the Aggie Corps of cadets at Texas A&M college (now University) his cap bears the infantry bugle and the lettering A&M. The photo was taken around 1896. August to be precise. I know that because that date is written in old ink on the reverse. All three men are identified also. I'll have to do some research!
