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.

4 oz packaged rice noodles
2/3 cup(s) fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp chili sauce, (chili paste)
1/2 pound(s) raw lean flank steak, trimmed of all visible fat and sliced thin across the grain
6 medium scallion(s), cut into 2-inch slices
2 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced (medium)
2 tsp ginger root, minced, peeled, fresh
Instructions
Prepare the noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, oil, cornstarch, and chili paste in a bowl until blended and smooth; set aside.
Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over high heat. Add the steak and cook in batches, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the orange juice mixture and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in the noodles; heat through. Serve at once.
Notes
When browning meat, make sure it is cooked over high heat in a single layer. If your pan is not big enough to accommodate all the meat at one time, cook it in batches, otherwise the meat will steam instead of brown.

Burns have entertainment value, but also purpose.
I have a special burn barrel with the bottom cut out. This is so I can move it around and place it on top of the large clumps of invasive non-native grass that I am trying to kill which is invading my wildflower meadow. (It's too rocky here to dig these deep-rooted grasses out).
The best time to kill grass with fire is in the summer when it is putting its energy into its leaves. In dormancy the plant's energy (and biomass) is safer, down in its roots. However, there is not enough burn load with the dead grass itself to eradicate it, so I use junk mail and other paper products. This is how grass was designed--to be grazed to the ground and be able to regrow.
I will continue to work this small plot through the summer, then it will take a couple years to build the micro-organisms back up, which I will hasten with an inoculation of soil from the creek, compost, and sprays of molasses. Then hopefully the wildflowers will recolonize.
A very simple study of the setting super moon on April, 8th, 2020. Like the soft color-gradient at the western horizon. Luna was with a distance of only 357.035 km kilometers on its nearest distance to earth within the next five years.

i love this place,tøyenbadet, where i go for my not so regular swim.
the place is practically stacked with 70-80's memorabilia,and has this inherent charm that is becoming to a place that has remained unchanged for the last 30 years.
the last time i went swimming, i ended up behind an old lady with a hairnet,who left this unmistakeable taste of hairspray in the water.
distasteful one might say, but i kinda just closed my eyes, and drifted behind her,
and suddenly all these half-gone memories of friendly neighbors with their tea and cupcakes re-entered my mind..
and i somehow had an instantaneous feeling of "home".
so after years of detachment i'm finally rediscovering the innocent feeling of childlike safety..in a swimming-pool. filled with aerosol..
my therapist is going to kill me for this..

Garden roses are predominantly hybrid roses that are grown as ornamental plants in private or public gardens. They are one of the most popular and widely cultivated groups of flowering plants, especially in temperate climates. An enormous number of garden cultivars have been produced, especially over the last two centuries, though roses have been known in the garden for millennia beforehand. While most garden roses are grown for their flowers, often in dedicated rose gardens, some are also valued for other reasons, such as having ornamental fruit, providing ground cover, or for hedging. Roses are one of the most popular garden shrubs in the world with both indoor and outdoor appeal. They possess a number of general features that cause growers and gardeners to choose roses for their gardens. This includes the wide range of colours they are available in; the generally large size of flower, larger than most flowers in temperate regions; the variety of size and shape; the wide variety of species and cultivars that freely hybridize.

Tuinrozen zijn overwegend hybride rozen die als sierplant in particuliere of openbare tuinen worden gekweekt. Ze zijn een van de meest populaire en meest gekweekte groepen bloeiende planten, vooral in gematigde klimaten. Er is een enorm aantal tuincultivars geproduceerd, vooral in de afgelopen twee eeuwen, hoewel rozen al duizenden jaren eerder in de tuin bekend waren. Hoewel de meeste tuinrozen worden gekweekt voor hun bloemen, vaak in speciale rozentuinen, worden sommige ook om andere redenen gewaardeerd, zoals het hebben van sierfruit, het verstrekken van bodembedekkers of voor afdekking. Rozen zijn een van de meest populaire tuinheesters ter wereld met zowel binnen als buiten aantrekkingskracht. Ze hebben een aantal algemene kenmerken die kwekers en tuinders ertoe brengen om rozen voor hun tuinen te kiezen. Dit omvat het brede scala aan kleuren waarin ze verkrijgbaar zijn; de over het algemeen grote bloemgrootte, groter dan de meeste bloemen in gematigde streken; de verscheidenheid aan grootte en vorm; de grote verscheidenheid aan soorten en cultivars die vrijelijk hybridiseren.
Gartenrosen sind überwiegend Hybridrosen, die als Zierpflanzen in privaten oder öffentlichen Gärten angebaut werden. Sie sind eine der beliebtesten und am weitesten verbreiteten Gruppen von Blütenpflanzen, insbesondere in gemäßigten Klimazonen. Vor allem in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten wurde eine enorme Anzahl von Gartensorten produziert, obwohl Rosen im Garten schon seit Jahrtausenden bekannt waren. Während die meisten Gartenrosen wegen ihrer Blüten angebaut werden, oft in speziellen Rosengärten, werden einige auch aus anderen Gründen geschätzt, z. B. als Zierfrüchte, als Bodendecker oder zur Absicherung. Rosen sind einer der beliebtesten Gartensträucher der Welt und sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenbereich attraktiv. Sie besitzen eine Reihe allgemeiner Merkmale, die Züchter und Gärtner veranlassen, Rosen für ihre Gärten zu wählen. Dazu gehört die große Auswahl an Farben, in denen sie erhältlich sind; die im Allgemeinen große Blume, größer als die meisten Blumen in gemäßigten Regionen; die Vielfalt an Größe und Form; die große Vielfalt an Arten und Sorten, die frei hybridisieren.

ورود الحدائق هي في الغالب ورود هجينة تزرع كنباتات للزينة في حدائق خاصة أو عامة. إنها واحدة من أكثر مجموعات النباتات المزهرة انتشارًا وشعبية ، خاصة في المناخات المعتدلة. تم إنتاج عدد هائل من أصناف الحدائق ، خاصة خلال القرنين الماضيين ، على الرغم من أن الورود كانت معروفة في الحديقة لآلاف السنين مسبقًا. بينما تُزرع معظم ورود الحدائق لزهورها ، غالبًا في حدائق ورود مخصصة ، يتم تقدير بعضها أيضًا لأسباب أخرى ، مثل الحصول على فاكهة الزينة ، أو توفير غطاء أرضي ، أو للتحوط. الورود هي واحدة من أشهر شجيرات الحدائق في العالم مع جاذبية داخلية وخارجية. لديهم عدد من الميزات العامة التي تجعل المزارعين والبستانيين يختارون الورود لحدائقهم. يتضمن ذلك مجموعة واسعة من الألوان التي تتوفر بها ؛ الحجم الكبير للزهرة بشكل عام ، أكبر من معظم الأزهار في المناطق المعتدلة ؛ تنوع الحجم والشكل. مجموعة واسعة من الأنواع والأصناف التي تهجين بحرية.BOT
Value the person you love now.
Tomorrow, when you send a message, she may not be online anymore and it will hurt not to see her typing ...
You will comment "nostalgia" on the old photos, and she will not be there to answer;
You're going to knock on the door and she may not be able to open it;
You will want to call again to hear that voice and she will not be able to answer ...
Life is mysterious and full of "maybe", so be sure to show your feelings tomorrow; tell the person you love how important she is, maybe she just has to listen to you tonight.
A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient the world, far richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.

Street Vendor Belts. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A rack of belts at a street market in Florence, Italy.
I photographed this rack of (presumably knockoff) belts in all colors and textures along a bustling and crowded street market outside of the Mercato Centrale building in Florence. Given the heavy tourist traffic in this city, I suppose that it is no surprise that these outdoor market is extensive and crowded. I’ll likely share other photographs later than show the market itself, unlike this one which is really just about the colors and shapes of what is on this rack.
These markets are in pretty much every European city that we have visited — from Italy to Kosovo — and especially in those oriented to tourist traffic. I have mixed feelings about them. On one hand, they seem to employ a lot of folks, and if you are careful you can probably get some stuff for very low prices. On the other hand, there’s a lot of items of questionable vintage, and if you think you are getting something of great value, well, just be careful!

This is a reshoot of the still life I made a couple ways last week, to look at different lighting, framing and depth of field.
Again, I'm using the 8x10 Fomapan 400, rated at 200 ASA and developed in Thornton 2 Bath developer, at 5 minutes in each.
The tonal scale and separation of values is exceptionally good, especially considering the hard, contrasty quality of the lighting. Look at the highlights on the glass vase - see how well represented these difficult values are.
I personally am very moved by the respect value and tradition that the poppy represents.
How lucky it was that on the evening I had chosen to photograph these poignant flowers at West Pentire near Crantock, that growing between them were a vast array of native arable wildflowers which are managed by the National Trust to ensure their continued conservation.
Somehow it seemed very fitting bearing in mind the words from armistice day “the going down of the sun” how respectful the setting sun was to only show its subdued rays on this particular evening and in turn illuminated the sea in such a way to make us realise how lucky we are to have what we have compared to those who gave so much for our tomorrow.
Finally as it is Umbellifer Wednesday it was quite appropriate to include Umbellifer’s silhouetted along the top of the hedge on the left hand side of shot, who appear to be providing a guard of honour to the whole evenings happenings.

I generally take a photo and then do my value sketch. If time I do a color sketch but most time I just paint. Really I don't care so much about local color because I will do my own thing from the value study. It works for me.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a 160-year-old tropical garden located at the fringe of Singapore's Orchard Road shopping district. It is one of only three gardens, and the only tropical garden, to be honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Botanic Gardens has been ranked Asia's top park attraction since 2013, by TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards. It was declared the inaugural Garden of the Year, International Garden Tourism Awards in 2012, and received Michelin's three-star rating in 2008.
The Botanic Gardens was founded at its present site in 1859 by an agri-horticultural society. It played a pivotal role in the region's rubber trade boom in the early twentieth century, when its first scientific director Henry Nicholas Ridley, headed research into the plant's cultivation. By perfecting the technique of rubber extraction, still in use today, and promoting its economic value to planters in the region, rubber output expanded rapidly. At its height in the 1920s, the Malayan peninsula cornered half of the global latex production.
The National Orchid Garden, within the main gardens, is at the forefront of orchid studies and a pioneer in the cultivation of hybrids, complementing the nation's status as a major exporter of cut orchids. Aided by the equatorial climate, it houses the largest orchid collection of 1,200 species and 2,000 hybrids.
Early in the nation's independence, Singapore Botanic Gardens' expertise helped to transform the island into a tropical Garden City, an image for which the nation is widely known. In 1981, the hybrid climbing orchid, Vanda Miss Joaquim, was chosen as the nation's national flower. Singapore's "orchid diplomacy" honours visiting head of states, dignitaries and celebrities, by naming its finest hybrids after them; these are displayed at its popular VIP Orchid Gardens.
The Singapore's Botanic Gardens is open from 5 a.m. to 12 midnight daily. There is no admission fee, except for the National Orchid Garden. More than 10,000 species of flora is spread over its 82-hectares area, which is stretched vertically; the longest distance between the northern and southern ends is 2.5 km (1.6 mi). The Botanic Gardens receives about 4.5 million visitors annually.
National Orchid Garden, Singapore
The National Orchid Garden, located within the Singapore Botanic Gardens, was opened on 20 October 1995 by Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens has been developed along a 3-Core Concept. The three Cores consist of Tanglin, which is the heritage core that retains the old favourites and rustic charms of the historic Gardens; Central, which is the tourist belt of the Gardens; and Bukit Timah, which is the educational and recreational zone. Each Core offers an array of attractions.
The National Orchid Garden is located in the Central Core of the gardens.
The Garden is located on the highest hill in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Providing a place for 60,000 orchid plants - consisting of 1000 species and more than 2,000 hybrids - is the three hectares of carefully landscaped slopes.
The design concept presenting the display of plants in four separate colour zones: the spring zone with its prevailing colours of bright and lively shades of gold, yellow and creams; the summer zone with its major tones of strong reds and pinks; the autumn zone of matured shades; and the winter zone of whites and cool blues. A careful combination of selected trees, shrubs, herbs and orchids (mostly hybrids) with matching foliage and floral colours depicts the colour combination.
