Of course, the photography of glorified trams is all very well, but the reason I came to Schleswig-Holstein was to try my hand at the Marschbahn for the first time - also seeing as in a few years time, the intercity service will be unrecognisably altered. But as 218 056 was thundering over the tall bridge spanning the Kiel Canal at Hochdonn with its train from Köln Hbf to Westerland and Dagebüll Mole, the world was still in order. Hochdonn, 27-08-2024

Valløy or Vallø is a peninsula by the Oslo Fjord in Slagen in Tønsberg municipality in Vestfold. The peninsula is only about 1 km long and half a km wide, and is located at the entrance to the town of Tønsberg from the east. The peninsula is small, but has nevertheless been very important in national and local industrial history. Valløy was located in the former Sem municipality, which was merged with Tønsberg in 1988.
In 1739, Vallø saltworks was established. The plant was in operation until 1860 when it was closed down. Since then came several industrial companies, including Vallø glassworks, Vallø wallpaper factory and from 1899 Scandinavia's first oil refinery. The first master of distillation was the Austrian Frantz Drtina. After only a few years, this company had problems with profitability, and in 1905 a new company, A / S Vallø Oljeraffineri, was started.
In connection with the saltworks, Valløy church was built in 1782. During the Napoleonic Wars, Valløy was equipped in 1808 with a cannon battery and coastal protection to defend the entrance to Tønsberg town and the saltworks. In the 1820s, Valløy became the port of call for Norway's first steamship, the DS «Constitutionen».
On April 24, 1945, the refinery and the island were bombed by British planes in what is later known as the bombing of Vallø. At least 52 Norwegian civilians were killed and an unknown number of German soldiers lost their lives. The refinery, which was run by Esso Norway from 1905, did not come back into operation until the early 1950s. The wallpaper factory was also rebuilt. At most, more than 500 people lived on the peninsula, but after World War II, the number dropped radically.
Valløy school was in use from 1915 to 1942.
Until 1960, oil was refined using sulfuric acid. The waste product acid stream was deposited on the east side of Vallø and has been there until Esso Norge AS in 2015 started work on removing acid stream, bleach soil and other oil residues. [1] It is estimated that around 300,000 tonnes of contaminated mass will be removed by boat or truck. The work, which is carried out by Veidekke Entreprenør AS and the Belgian company Deme Environmental Contractors (DEC). The work was completed in March 2020.

La Pietra di Luserna è una roccia metamorfica scistosa appartenente al gruppo degli gneiss. Si tratta in particolare di gneiss di tipo lamellare, cioè che si presenta in un insieme di strati sovrapposti come i fogli di un libro. Viene estratta da cave situate nelle Prealpi Cozie del Piemonte centro-occidentale, tra la Val Pellice e la Valle Po, nei territori dei Comuni di Luserna San Giovanni, Rorà , Bagnolo Piemonte e Barge, per i quali ha sempre rappresentato un'importante risorsa economica. Il suo impiego è molto antico e caratterizza tuttora la tipologia costruttiva degli edifici e l'arredo urbano delle aree di origine e dell'intero Piemonte, dal quale, a partire dagli anni 70 del ‘900, ha avuto una diffusione sia nazionale che internazionale.

The Southernmost Tip of Africa Prayer Centre was never open when I was in the area, so I never worked out exactly who ran it or what it was all about. It is in the little town of L'Agulhas about 1½ km/1 mile from the southernmost point. I photographed it mainly for its thatched roof.
Back Garden - one from a couple of days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get at right angles to him.
Although Willington has been flooded for months I went looking for hairy dragonflies none seen by me but a possible sighting from the hide by 2 other guys. I did see a marsh harrier, a bittern and my first damselfies for 2024 plus a few other birds.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
