That will sort the older ones out! This is a view of the Pont Adolphe in the background thats having a major restoration and repair project started so, as a temporary measure they have built the "Blue Bridge" to take the traffic. In the foreground is a little pedestrian bridge over the Petrusse river
Three generations meet at the old Eurostar terminal at London Waterloo.
The Class 455 is the oldest here, with the first entering service in 1983. These are slowly being replaced by the much delayed Class 701 which first entered service in 2024. Finally, the Class 450 entered service in 2003 (20 years after the 455s). They replaced the slam door trains which were all withdrawn by 2005.
The hike began with a boat ride to the Redfish Inlet Transfer Camp. We follow the Redfish Lake Creek trail southwest as it climbs gently and steadily to the Alpine Lake (of Redfish Creek) turnoff. Take the left fork and continue south past an unnamed pair of lakes. At 6 miles, the trail arrives at Lower Cramer Lake, elevation 8340', the smallest of the three Cramers. Middle Cramer Lake has a waterfall. Upper Cramer is the largest of the threesome.

The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.

Three Shire Head (also known as Three Shire's Head, Three Shires Head, Three Shire Heads) is the point on Axe Edge Moor where Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet, at UK grid reference SK009685, or
53.213°N 1.987°W.
It is on the River Dane, which marks the Cheshire border in this area. On the east of the river, the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire runs north-east for about a mile to Cheeks Hill, on the higher regions of Axe Edge Moor. From Cheeks Hill the border runs south then east to the head of the River Dove.[1]
The main landmark is an ancient packhorse bridge.
This old, curved tree sprouted three new 'trunks.' Some fascinating trees in the rain forests of Northern California.
The Three Gables is one of Bradford on Avon’s most iconic buildings. Painstakingly restored The Three Gables is a row of three low gabled 17th century houses; a straight joint in the rubble masonry and a slightly different gable suggests that the right hand end was built a a separate time. The right two were the Queen’s Head Inn until 1914 and the other was a tea shop. Since then they have been a succession of restaurants called the Three Gables, Spindles and Rosario’s. They were empty for years, but have now been restored as a restaurant again.
A happy memory from my childhood-- times romping through the woods, playing make-believe with sticks, rocks, ferns, & the delightful sassafras tree with its three differently-shaped leaves. Seen most recently in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, USA on July 12, 2009. In January, 2015, this photo was requested for use in a gardening article on the sassafras tree.
Same picture again, but this time blurred and darkened. Perhaps a bit more natural-looking in this setting. I'll try in better lighting some other time.

I photographed this group in much the same location as those in the previous photograph. While the cranes seem to collect in large groups near water in the evening and early morning, during the day they are often found more spread out in agricultural areas like this one.

This is my week three shot, albeit a little late. I have pretty much rocked the same haircut since early high school... and it has never taken the form of a "Fauxhawk." Until NOW!
The things you'll do to yourself for the sake of an inside joke!
Light coming from camera right is provided by my handy-dandy desk lamp.
The auto-focus was having some trouble in this lighting. As I'm fairly new to photography, would a faster lens be able to autofocus better in low light? I figure it would since it's letting in more light. I'm looking at that new 35mm prime 1.8f AF-S from Nikon or maybe the 50 mm if I run into some cash.
Very little post processing was done. As my PS skills are still very rusty. Just a quick crop, healing brush, and unsharp mask.
Tune in next week: Same bat-time. Same bat-channel!
Yes, I've turned into one of those knitters who photographs her projects in scenic locations. How embarrassing.
Went into the gym and there was a sign that said there was three kinds of cake in the fridge. One of my fellow gym members made them to celebrate one of our coaches having competed in a bikini fitness competition.
This is an eroded sandstone outcrop in the World Heritage Area: NSW's Blue Mountains. The blue colour of the mountains is caused by the presence of eucalyptus oil in the air, since eucalyptus trees make up most of the vegetation here.
These boards are part of the three fascia pieces, each progressively less wide. Together they form a layered, elegant swooping decorative element over the buildings four wings.
