"Paw Prints Left By You" (author unknown)
You no longer greet me, as I walk through the door. You're not there to make me smile, to make me laugh anymore. Life seems quiet without you, you were far more than a pet. You were a family member, a friend... a loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take some time to heal - for the silence to go away. I still listen for you, and miss you every day. You were such a great companion, constant, loyal and true. My heart will always wear the paw prints left by you.

The name was given to what was the oldest Florentine bridge when the bridge to the Carraia was built, then called "Ponte Nuovo" in contrast to the pons Vetus. Beyond the historical value, the bridge over time has played a central role in the city road system, starting from when it connected the Roman Florentia with the Via Cassia Nuova commissioned by the emperor Hadrian in 123 AD.
In contemporary times, despite being closed to vehicular traffic, the bridge is crossed by a considerable pedestrian flow generated both by the notoriety of the place itself and by the fact that it connects places of high tourist interest on the two banks of the river: piazza del Duomo, piazza della Signoria on one side with the area of Palazzo Pitti and Santo Spirito in the Oltrarno.
The bridge appears in the list drawn up in 1901 by the General Directorate of Antiquities and Fine Arts, as a monumental building to be considered national artistic heritage.

Not too long ago, I rode along the intimate road of West Lake on Thursday and observed many changes in this place. I heard that the local government has approved the construction of an opera house project near the lake. In this image, which my friend captured and of us standing here, you can see the area where the opera house will be built. I’m unsure about what will happen or how this will affect the area in the future once in the opera house has been completed?
I truly love this place and feel a deep emotional affection to it. West Lake belongs to everyone - to me, to the local people living around it and to many couples. I’m posting this content I like and with no offense intended. I will cherish the soul, beauty and traditional culture that this place represents. 😔
Certainly, cultural values often face challenges over time. I hope that West Lake will develop while preserving its tradition, culture and environment. Because this place is a part of me, cheers!! 😄

Having only ever known city living in my nearly 60 years, I value times when I can get away to the country or the coast for a break. Alongside the slower pace of life, the fresher air and a chance to take in many surprising moments, the dark skies and quiet roads are some of my favourite reasons to escape. A recent south coast sojourn served up several such serene stops. This flat and straight section of road near Bodalla, Australia, has so little traffic on it at night that spending long periods standing in the middle of the road–or lying on it as I’ve done at least once before–to take photos is something you can almost take for granted.
The Milky Way’s core region had risen in the southeastern sky shortly before I arrived, and the distorted view through my camera’s fisheye lens makes our galaxy’s band of stars seem to arch across the sky and the bitumen. The Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy is almost centred in the scene, to the right of the row of poplars planted next to the road. I was fortunate to have cloudless heavens for five of the eight nights I was in the area, and on every one of those nights, the sky’s predominant colour was the subtle green generated by atmospheric airglow. I couldn’t see the electrical wires hanging overhead, showing as black scores on that green sky in my photo. As is often the case, though, perfection is elusive, and the wires’ presence in the shot isn’t too distracting.
Shot as a single frame, this night sky photo was taken with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens @ f/5.6, using an exposure time of 45 seconds @ ISO 12800.

Pécs was founded by Romans at the beginning of the 2nd century. By the 4th century, it became the capital of Valeria province and a significant early Christian center. Its episcopate was founded in 1009, and the first university in Hungary was founded in Pécs in 1367.
Pécs was historically a multi-ethnic city where many cultural layers were encrusted melting different values of the history of two thousand years. Previously settled in by the Romans and later the Turks, Pécs was given the UNESCO prize Cities for peace for maintaining the cultures of the minorities in 1998, and also for its tolerant and helping attitude toward refugees of the Yugoslav Wars. In 2007 Pécs was third, in 2008 it was second Livable city (The LivCom Awards) in the category of cities between 75,000 and 200,000 inhabitants.
Take a moment from time to time to remember that you are alive.
I know this sounds a trifle obvious, but it is amazing how little time
we take to remark upon this singular and gratifying fact.
By the most astounding stroke of luck an infinitesimal portion
of all the matter in the universe came together to create you
and for the tiniest moment in the great span of eternity
you have the incomparable privilege to exist ...

If you wish to view more images, of Oxburgh Hall, please click "here"
I would be most grateful if you would refrain from inserting images, and/or group invites; thank you!
Oxburgh Hall is a moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk, England, today in the hands of the National Trust. Built around 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld, Oxburgh has always been a family home, not a fortress. The manor of Oxborough came to the Bedingfeld family by marriage before 1446, and the house has been continuously inhabited by them since their construction of it in 1482, the date of Edward Bedingfeld's licence to crenellate. A fine example of a late medieval, inward-facing great house, Oxburgh stands within a square moat about 75 metres on each side, and was originally enclosed; the hall range facing the gatehouse was pulled down in 1772 for Sir Richard Bedingfeld, providing a more open U-shaped house, with the open end of the U facing south. The entrance, reached by a three-arched bridge on the north side, is dramatised by a grand fortified gatehouse, evoking the owner's power and prestige, though as fortification its value is largely symbolic; it is flanked by tall polygonal towers rising in seven tiers, with symmetrical wings extending either side that reveal nothing on the exterior of their differing internal arrangements. About 1835 the open end of the U was filled in with a picturesque, by no means archaeologically correct range that recreated the central courtyard. Other Victorian additions include the Flemish-style stepped gables, the massive southeast tower, the oriel windows overhanging the moat (illustration, left) and terracotta chimneys. Four towers were added to the walled kitchen garden. The hall is well known for its priest hole. Due to the Catholic faith of the Bedingfeld family, a Catholic priest may have had to hide within the small disguised room in the event of a raid. The room is reached via a trapdoor, which when closed blends in with the tiled floor. Unlike many similar priest holes, the one at Oxburgh is open to visitors. The hall is also notable for the Oxburgh Hangings, needlework hangings by Mary, Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. Mary worked on these while imprisoned in England, in the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The estate has a number of woodland walks, including a 'Woodland Explorer' trail. Oxburgh Hall is a popular location for film and television series, including brief appearances in the Dad's Army episode "Museum Piece", and later in You Rang, M'Lord?. It was the major setting for the 1994 television dramatisation of Love on a Branch Line, a novel by John Hadfield. It is a Grade I listed building, the highest-level designation.
Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is a one
block area bounded by MacNab Street South, Hurst Place,
Charles Street and Bold Street in the City of Hamilton. The
district consists of seven properties. These properties include
two multi-unit residences, a church and manse, two residential
properties and offices.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to a plaque, the cultural heritage value of the district lies in the fact that:
The downtown block of MacNab Street South, Hurst Place, Charles Street and Bold Street contains a unique collection of stone buildings primarily dating from the 1850s.
While stone architecture was relatively rare in Ontario, Hamilton’s Mountain offered a ready supply of limestone. The local resource was used to great advantage in the hands of the newly-arrived Scottish stonemasons, establishing pre-Confederation Hamilton as a city renowned for its wealth of handsome stone
architecture.
With the MacNab Street Presbyterian Church as the focal point, the Victorian stone and brick streetscape of MacNab-Charles evoke a genuine sense of history in the heart of this city.
Designation of the District
The designation of the MacNab Charles Heritage Conservation District was initiated by the City Hamilton.
The Study and Plan were conducted and written between 1986 and 1988 by the Local Planning Branch, Planning and Development Department and the Hamilton-Wentworth Region. It was carried out in consultation with a local District Steering Committee made up of owners from the area.
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 90-144 which was passed on May 9, 1990 by the City of Hamilton.
English ten pound note.
If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.
That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.
The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.
Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).
Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.
This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.
One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

Barton Hill depot in Bristol will be the temporary home for 20901 and 20905 for the next 5 weeks whilst they undergo a repaint into Balfour Beatty livery.
The depot opened in 1840 as a locomotive depot until 1870 when it became a carriage and wagon servicing facility.
I remember it being the home of the Blue Pullman in the early 70s. It was used by RES for a little bit in the mid 90s and went into Arriva ownership in 2011.
Its great to see some locomotives from the 1960s in a depot building dating back to the 1840s.
On the 15th December 2010, they killed-off the Harrier to save less than £1bn. This year the UK government has already spend more than £300bn fighting COVID-19. That’s more money per day on COVID-19 than the entire savings from retiring the Harrier force.
Continuing with the westbound chase of the annual 470 Railroad Club charter on the Conway Scenic Railroad here's the next spot. This is the only other location that would work for a properly lit shot on a sunny day, but alas it just wasn't in the cards.
Just like in 2024 the club showcased their historic ex B&M trio of 1949 vintage F7s 4266/4268 and GP9 1741 resplendent in its as delivered McGinnis 'bluebird' livery. After first making a 12 mile round trip down and back on the former Boston and Maine Conway Branch the special headed west on the former Maine Central Mountain Sub mainline through Crawford Notch to Fabyan. They are headed west at MP 72.9 (as measured from former Portland Union Station) rolling alongside the Saco River between the 2nd and 3rd Iron bridges past a location known as Sawyer’s Rock.
A New Hampshire state historical marker along US 302 denotes this spot and reads:
In 1771, Timothy Lash of Lancaster and Benjamin Sawyer of Conway made a bargain with Governor John Wentworth to bring a horse through Crawford Notch in order to prove the route’s commercial value. The pair succeeded by dragging and lowering the animal down rock faces. Sawyer’s Rock is said to be the last obstacle they encountered before reaching the Bartlett intervales. Nash and Sawyer were rewarded with a 2,184 acre parcel at the northern end of the Notch. Sawyer’s Rock symbolizes the determination and foresight that helped open and develop trade and travel into the White Mountains region.
Interestingly this is actually a double header with two crews because the F7s have no MU connections on their front ends and therefore can not be controlled remotely from the GP9 when set up in this manner. To learn more about the history of these vintage locomotives refer to earlier posts in this series.

I am Wednesday's Child. I was born on a Wednesday in 1963. The year I was born Medger Evers was murdered, 4 little girls were killed in the Birmingham bombing, and John F. Kennedy Jr. was assasinated. He died the day I turned 7 months old. My mom says, everyone was crying, and I cried with them. All true, and sad, and things I know as an adult, that make me proud of my parents and the values they gave me, BUT Wednesday's Child is Full of Woe??....hmmmm???
That's BS man!! I'm not full of woe! I'm not a greeting card, or a poem, or a precious moments doll full of Woe!!! I'm full of WOW! Life is grand!!! God knows, and my husband knows, I have my bad days, but NOT because I'm Wednesday's Child!! I ROCK!! Wednesday's ROCK!! This one is for all of Wednesday's Children!! Rock on my fine friends, Rock ON! LOL!!! I'm not a nut, just a fully operational nerd. =o)

The Branson Scenic Railway's GP30M, the BSRX No. 99, suffered an untimely and catastrophic prime mover failure, and these unforeseen circumstances couldn't have happened at worse time with their upcoming busy Independence Weekend on the horizon. The train operates as a push-pull move with the GP30M on one end and an F7A on other end, running south and sometimes north. To reinstate service and keep excursions moving, a second engine is in dire need.
This GP10 began life as the Illinois Central GP9 No. 9120 in December of 1955. As part of the Paducah Rebuild program, it became ICG GP10 No. 8326 in March of 1973. The U.S. Army acquired it and renumbered it as the USAX No. 1873, later selling it to S&S Leasing as the SSRX No. 1873. The Mt, Rainier Scenic Railway, owned by American Heritage Railways, gave it a new home and its original number in 2016 when it became the MRSR No. 9120. This is where it received its Milwaukee Road inspired paint scheme.
The railroad was unfortunately shut down following the COVID-19 pandemic, and AHR moved the GP10 to Abilene, KS for storage on the Abilene & Smokey Valley Railroad, a new partner of theirs. The Branson Scenic Railway is under the ownership of AHR as of 2024, and once their GP30M died, plans were in motion to bring this GP10 to the rescue.
Here, it's being moved on BNSF train J-ABIAUM1-30A on its own high value special move at BN Interlocking on the KCT, ready to hit the BNSF Ft. Scott Sub at 30th St. Though expensive, the engine was expedited from Abilene, KS to Aurora, MO, where it was interchanged to the MNA. No time wasted as it was wyed, serviced and relettered by July 3, four days after this move. 6/30/25.

Callie - RIP: 2009-4/29/2022
=====================================
A fun fact about Callie: she was diagnosed with cataracts in one eye about 10 years ago, gradually making her blind in that eye. But I'd test her vision on a regular basis by throwing a tennis ball for her to catch. Even at the end, she did that perfectly.
One of the consequences of losing vision in one eye but not the other is that you lose depth perception. Your brain needs both eyes to understand how far away an object is. The fact that Callie was able to perfectly catch the tennis ball even after many years of cataracts shows how well she adapted to the loss of vision.
=====================================
This is based on a photo that I didn't think had value other than to me. In other words, this photo was originally a throw away. (And for the record, I never throw away a photo unless it's a botched mess.)
I recently purchased a license for Painter 2023. I had an older copy that never impressed me. But this version added a nice painterly touch to this photo.
The result is a creation that I will always cherish.
end of a forest fire detection flight...the observer is fully trained in spot locating, fire description, location of any water sources close by, any lakes long enough for CL-215s to scoop water , any human values to protect ...all transmitted asap by FM radio to the Fire Base Ops..who then initiate the attack..the assets include Convair 580s, CL-215Ts, helicopters, and a sizeable force of fire fighters..all on varying degrees of standby status..so far this province has been spared ...Alberta and Ontario and BC are all reporting forest fires...
