Lonaconing Silk Mill
A sad story ... mill workers clocked out after an honest day's work, only to be told not to return the next day, or ever. Owners closed the mill due to a labor dispute...without prior warning. Workers were not granted re-entry to claim their belongings. Now nature reclaims it all, building and contents.

"I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away.
She's got a ticket to ri-hide,
She's got a ticket to ri-hi-hide,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care."

Digging into the archives, here are a few nighttime snaps from Barcelona, January 2016. Now I have a craving for some tapas.

Colorado Springs, CO - This is Mattie, she's making hand-crafted relief printed tickets to Hell. First Class, nonetheless.
Spent the day in Chicago focused on architecture. While on the inbound train I really liked the colors and used a shallow depth of field for this shot to mix the colors and get a dreamy effect.
Tickets, or some kind of proof that a passenger has paid their fare, have been around since almost the birth of public transport. They provide proof that the passenger has paid the correct fare; and show that the conductor or person collecting the fares hasn't pocketed the money themselves.
Over the years there have been many systems tried to create the best ticketing solution. The aim has been to provide a ticket that's fraud-proof, by the passenger or the issuer; cheap to buy and maintain; fast to issue; and preferably provide good analytical information so that the transport operator understands where people are travelling, and give information that's useful for planning purposes.
The first stage was to provide fairly crude handwritten tickets; brass tokens; then pre-printed tickets that were 'punched' with a small hole to show how far the passenger had paid. In the 1930s, automatic ticket machines were invented, using a blank roll of paper upon which the fare details were printed by the ticket issuer (usually, on a bus, the conductor) turning a handle.
One of the most successful machines in the UK was the 'Setright', named not as a clever marketing slogan but after its inventor - the fortuitously named Mr Setright. It was used right up to the the 1980s and in the 1960s was one of three main bus ticketing systems used in the UK: the others were the TIM (Ticketing Issuing Machine) and the Ultimate, which was favoured by busy municipal operators with short, intensive services.
Manchester used all three of these systems at various times, and this poster shows a Setright ticket. It's not very easy for the unpracticed eye to decipher what each number meant, so MCTD put these helpful posters on their buses that used Setright machines.
One reason for the poster was to help passengers spot when something wasn't right - for example in decimal currency days, it wasn't unknown for an unscrupulous conductor to swap the stage number with the fare paid, so that the machine recorded a lower fare than had been paid. But this was a rare occurrence, and most conductors were (and are) completely honest and just wanted the paperwork and the cash taken to agree at the end of the shift.
In the 1980s these mechanical systems were swept away by electronic systems, and today contactless cards and phone apps both provide faster boarding, with less need to handle cash and give change; and better analytical information to help bus companies make informed decisions on when and how people travel.
The Museum of Transport Greater Manchester has a wide variety of fare collecting systems on display, even including a 'Bell Punch' ticket printing press. If you'd like to know more about the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester and its collection of vintage buses, go to www.motgm.uk.

It's 5'o clock in the morning here, and I can finally upload something.
It's so bad that, you have to refresh pages at least a dozen time to get lucky once.
Anyways, this one's for the cutest Teddy Bear on B.I.T.S. campus, Shailu and Prafful Puttar for his inspiring speech yesterday night.
He made me realize what I've been missing here.
This was a hand-held shot.
A very cheap one!!! The lower price for the Festival. I'll see nothing, this is a "only listening" place!!!

I'm not so sure of my facts with these non-Setright tickets, and am without experience of other systems ...apart from the Wayfarer system we used during my latter days with what had become B ...B ...Ba ...I can hardly bring myself to type the name... Badgerline! There, I've done it. I feel soiled though. The well-printed, vari-coloured square tickets along the top are very pleasing. Elsewhere the impression is of a decline in quality. Was it inflation or decimalisation that led to London Transport tickets being issued in two parts? ...the example illustrated being, I am fairly certain, one 16p ticket rather than two separate 8p tickets. The ticket which illustrates the two tendered coins by some sort of frottage method ...bloody silly idea I always thought... came from "Cardiff buses" who must have thought it very modern and democratic to use such a banausic title. Elsewhere we mostly have scrappy, ill-printed, flimsy little squares of plain paper, more like till receipts from a chip shop than the emblem of a contract between issuer and holder bestowing legal status and conferring certain entitlements deriving from governmental legislation. S. M. S. had me scratching my head, but fortunately the date is still visible and on 13th August 1977 I was at Pembroke Dock ...so it must be Silcox Motor Services. C. C. T. still has me puzzled though, and the date is no help. I think the form So-and-So Corporation Transport was entirely defunct by 1977, but ticket machines must have continued to show the old style. Colchester? Cardiff? Chesterfield?
A Special Ticket / 増毛の切符
Day 4. A ticket available here at Mashike Station. This is not actually a valid train ticket, but is popular among tourists, especially those having a kind of hair problem. As the kanji for Mashike (増毛) literally means “increasing the hair volume,” this ticket might be of help to those who have concerns about hair loss or so… Well, I got one!
持っていると良いことがありそう。
という冗談はさておき、美しい日本海が楽しめる増毛町は、高倉健さん主演の映画のロケ地でもあったそうです。国稀酒造も有名ですね。留萌本線を使って、のんびりとした列車の旅もいいな。
