Moments away from departure from Toronto's Union Station, Budd dome observation " Glacier Park" will carry the markers for the trip west across Canada on VIA #1.
Monkton Farleigh ammunition depot utilised an old stone quarry below a plateau some 450 feet above the valley floor in which ran the main line railway that was its principal source of supply. Before the depot could be commissioned, an efficient means was need to bring in ammunition from the railway at Farleigh Down Sidings. The sidings were just over a mile from the depot as the crow flies but more than four miles by road along steep and tortuous country lanes.
In November 1937 the Great Western Railway were contracted to lay the sidings and build a 1000 foot long raised loading platform complete with a narrow gauge track to carry the ammunition wagons. Outline plans had already been prepared to drive a mile long tunnel from the heart of the workings terminating in an underground sorting yard built beneath the sidings in the valley below.
These photographs, taken in January 2016, showcase the building as it stands today.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
Hit the race track the other day for Camel and Ostrich races. They did not pan out as expected and will post what few photos I managed.
However I saw a portrait opportunity with a winning jockey after racing a muddy track and got him to smile for me.

Time to get back for my train home. And here's the well laid track. But I'll find my own path. Nothing new there 😁

Each season, as it comes to an end, I find that besides the events, the preparation, the mental challenges--there is the time spent with coaches. . .and this is where it all begins and ends. . .where every step, every jump, every hurdle is parsed and analyzed. This is for the sport. . .this is for the students. . .and this is for the coaches who give their time to help the students dream dreams.
A rare 'freight' working on the North Downs line on Saturday 12 December with 66736 climbing slowly away from Dorking West with a train of old track panels from the engineering works site at Redhill. The train was bound for Hoo Yard, Kent on a circuitous route via North London.

I don't understand why some of this looks
less sharp than rest - and it's not the edges
or the parts closest to or furthest from
the camera. A bad lens?

Wongwian Yai BTS station, Thonburi side of the river, Bangkok.
Thonburi district in Bangkok unveiled its new landmark, an imposing statue of the Buddha that rises 69 metres above the ground -- about the height of a 20-storey building.
The statue, called ‘Dhammakaya Thep Mongkol Buddha’ at Paknam Bhasicharoen Temple, is made of copper, and corresponds with the image the former abbot saw in his dream.
The vice abbot explained that the construction of this Buddha statue was devoted to Buddhism in Thailand and to celebrate the unique Thai sculpture.
The full opening of this temple was estimated to be on Tuesday (June 16) 2023.
