Bachs/ holiday homes at Arthur's Pass March 13, 2014 West Coast, South Island, New Zealand
Arthur's Pass, previously called Camping Flat then Bealey Flats, and for some time officially Arthurs Pass, is a township in the Southern Alps of the South Island of New Zealand, located in the Selwyn district. It is a popular base for exploring Arthur's Pass National Park.
Arthur's Pass township is about 5 km south of the mountain pass with the same name. Its elevation is 740 metres above sea level surrounded by beech forest. The Bealey River runs through the township.
The township and the pass are named after Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson (1841–1934). Arthur Dobson had been tasked by the Chief Surveyor, Thomas Cass, to find out if there was an available pass out of the Waimakariri watershed into valleys running to the West Coast. In 1864, his brother Edward joined him and accompanied him into the valley of the Otira River. Arthur had been informed of the presence of a pass which had been used occasionally by Māori hunting parties by a West Coast Māori Chief, Tarapuhi. When Arthur returned to Christchurch, he made a sketch of the country traversed and gave it with a report to Cass. Arthur Dobson did not name the pass, which he found to be very steep on the western side.Dobson named the site that was to become the township Camping Flat.
When the gold rush began, a committee of businessmen offered a £200 prize for anyone who would find a better or more suitable pass from Canterbury to the West Coast. At the same time, Edward Dobson (Arthur's father) was sent to examine every available pass between the watershed of the Taramakau, Waimakariri, and the Hurunui, and after examining passes at the head of every valley he reported that "Arthur's" pass was by far the most suitable for the direct crossing.

Yes. Yet another pursuit. Yes. It's inspired by a very fine photographic artist. While I can't come close to what that artist achieves, I thought I'd give it a whack and see where it led.

Chevrolet introduced the Traverse in 2008. This model was first registered in 2014, but is in fact a pre-facelift 2012 model. The Traverse wasn't officially imported by GM in Europe.
The 2018 Traverse is expected to offer best-in-class passenger volume as well as max cargo room at 98.5 cubic feet (2,789 liters), while greater storage options and larger bins throughout the ergonomically optimized cabin are designed to enhance convenience and versatility.
I think this might be Coccinella transversalis. Seen on some flowers at the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden.
The Traverse City State Hospital is a decommissioned psychiatric hospital just west of downtown Traverse City, MI. Architect Gordon W. Lloyd designed the complex in a Victorian-Italianate style, construction was completed in 1885 and the first 43 residents moved in.
The hospital’s significance extends beyond the structure. Care was prescribed by the Kirkbride Plan, and the first caretaker was prominent physician Dr. James Decker Munson.
The hospital was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Today, the complex is known as “Grand Traverse Commons” and has been repurposed into a market with restaurants, coffee shops, a brewery, and an eclectic mix of stores featuring good from local makers and antiques.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - On the way towards Crazy Peak I had to traverse this slope filled with talus. It was my least favorite part as it became progressively steeper. It was hard to find stable footing and not start sliding.
Having traversed the 48.55 miles from Sheffield to Lincoln Central employing mainly ex-GC metals behind 37252 on the 1E34 0912 Manchester Piccadilly-Yarmouth in a steady drizzle I decanted & grabbed this shot of it departing across a sea of bullhead rail. The cab light an indication of the gloomy day while in the background is the steeple of St Swithin's Church with the Cathedral looming in the mist behind that. I still had over 5 hours to get to York for 37019 so spent just over an hour in Lincoln & then ambled across on the Yarmouth-Newcastle with a 47 up front.
This is Traverse Creek Falls near Placerville. It's close and easy to get to, so I head up there fairly often. I was disappointed that the waterfall is down to its summer "single segmented" flow already. Just a couple weeks ago, it was still in two segmented form. It is bad news that the waterfalls around here are already down to summer flow levels and it is only mid May.
Anyway, for this photo, I got right in the creek to take the shot. I wasn't sure how it would look, but I really like how this photo turned out.
Last weekend I had the opportunity to climb Mt Shasta. It was a very steep, but rewarding climb. I lugged my DSLR up there just so I could get shots like this. I was climbing with a group from of Mazamas. After we had summited, we had to traverse across this snowfield with crampons on to avoid a very steep/rock/icy section we had climbed up. It was a physically and mentally exhausting climb but I can't wait to share more shots like this with you.
The coast have been called the "crossroads of human activity and the sea" (Weber 1993)
This is a common scene in the coastal areas early in the morning. In this image, father and son is getting ready to sail out at sea, traversing from land to water.
Despite the fact that the coastal resources in the Philippines provides much of our resources such as food, medicine, economic development, clean water, and air, subsistence fishermen in the country are considered among the poorest of the poor.
The widespread poverty in coastal areas is due to over extraction of resources and loss of habitats.
VEA 12 ton van B230235 stabled in the yard at Cheddleton, Churnet Valley Railway, 11th March 2012.
Wagon History
B230235 was originally B783361 and was one of one thousand nine hundred and ninety four vans were built to diagram 1/217. They basically differed from the standard diagram 1/208 12 ton van by having double sliding doors in lieu of the double hinged doors. This gave a wider opening of 9ft allowing the type to carry pallets as well as general merchandise. Consequently these vans were known as “vanwides” and were coded VWV under the TOPS coding. The diagram 1/217 van proved to be the ultimate development of the traditional 12 ton 10 foot wheelbase vacuum braked van. B783361 was one of a batch of one thousand vans built at Wolverton in 1962 to lot number 3391. Despite the delivery of large numbers of long-wheelbase air-braked vans from 1969 onwards, most of the diagram 1/217 vans remained in stock in 1977, the main reason for this was that their short wheelbase allowed the type to traverse tighter curves than the newer vehicles. The MoD in particular required this attribute, as they had a number of rail-served depots around the country, whose track layouts precluded the use of long-wheelbase vehicles. To retain this traffic while allowing the ongoing conversion of all freight services to air-braked operation, it was decided to upgrade some of the diagram 1/217 vans fleet with air-brakes and upgraded suspension to permit operation at 75mph. The vans were renumbered in the air-brake series starting at 230000. An initial batch of fifty wagons was refurbished at Ashford Works in 1978 under lot number 3918. Additional batches of were converted in 1981 at Horwich (sixty wagons) and 1982/83 at Shildon (four hundred and forty wagons). The VEA fleet remained largely intact until 1991, by which time the closure of several MoD depots was having an impact on their main traffic and withdrawals reduced the fleet to one hundred and twenty two wagons by the end of 1992. Withdrawals continued rapidly with a few vans transferred to the departmental fleet but even these had been withdrawn by the end of 2008.
