This weigh station is north of New Canton, in Pike County, Illinois. Farmers bring grain to the silo. Weighing it is part of the process. Apparently weighing livestock on the scales has become a problem.
Usually high tide has brought the tidal stretch of the River Tavy to just below dam height and over the quay wall.

I was trying to photograph the sibling of this juvenile when it came circling overhead. Perhaps it felt I was getting too close. I moved on. Near St. John's, NL.
A warning sign
I missed the good part, then I realised
I started looking and the bubble burst .

NRs 31 & 30 in their special Great Southern or “Fanta” colours drop downgrade and across a protected rural road crossing with 6AT8 a couple of hours into its journey to Brisbane. I had planned a quite different shot for this area, but I got held up in traffic and the train made better time than I imagined, so I had to make do with this hastily composed image of the train locos with the crossing safety boom and warning signs.

The steep path not to run on at Sugarloaf Point lighthouse - and the point of the sign (next picture)! This path must be at least 45 degrees and not a step in sight! There was a disused trolley-on-ropes system that would have been essential for moving goods to and from the lighthouse.

The Dixie Highway was planned out in December 1914 to connect the Midwest with the South, from Chicago to Miami.
By the mid-1920s, the project was largely completed with a network of roads interconnected across 10 states with more than 5,000 miles of paved, bricked road. But, by 1927, Dixie Highway became part of the US Route System, and was therefore, mostly abandoned. But, a portion of it still remains in remote Florida, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2005.
“It’s one of the oldest roads in America,” according to the historian.
Upon on my arrival, I started from south toward north, before I entered, there is a warning: “Travel at your own risk.” And another prohibiting the removal of the bricks in the road. Doing so, it says, warrants prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law.”
The historic stretch of Old Dixie Highway is 10 miles long, and would recommend to drive slowly as there are some thick soft-sand on the road that could cause slide off from the road if driving too fast.
Interesting fact: The brick was manufactured by the Graves Shale Brick Company in Birmingham, Alabama, belonging to a slave-owning man who fought for the Confederacy. It took 237,600 such bricks to build just 1 mile of road, 9 feet wide. Others are with the words "SOUTHERN CLAY MFG CO” for the Southern Clay Manufacturing Company in Tennessee.
The Serenissima Hotel is one of many hotels in Varosha that once made this coastline a tourism hub in the 1960s and early ’70s. Known as the "Riviera of the East," Varosha drew visitors from around the world until its sudden evacuation in 1974. Its properties, including this hotel, remain legally owned by displaced Greek Cypriots, whose right to return is recognised by the UN and international courts—but still unfulfilled.

-- Former golf pro, now a friendly pastor, returning from catching some catfish on the Suwanee, but soon he was off to a counseling session. Branford, Florida.
-- I experienced some overlapping of frames on this roll. This accounts for the unusual framing. Really can't get upset at a camera from 1936. Hope I function as well when I'm at that age.
Well, looking in this direction, this is the start of the Lighthouse Trail. But for me, the return to this spot marked the completion of the hike and although I didn't believe the temperature really hit the century mark (even my car didn't read that high) it still felt good to get out of the sun and back to a/c. It read 70° when I started hiking three & a half hours earlier.

Interesting bit of direct action.
Is this the start of the revolution?
Revolution, art and graffiti go hand in hand. Ordinary people can feel powerless against a dominant force, in this case local dog walkers and they have resorted to the revolutionary act of graffiti.
I've been watching to many art programs on BBC4!!!!'
It is such a shame to see these old buildings go. They have character that some of today's architecture can only wish for. Indeed there is no exit, no escaping the tromping of progress for this dinosaur.
The skies added a wonderful drama this day. And what's better is that I had to creep in through a hole in steel fencing to get the shot.
I was chastised by a toothless old guy and advised that I was trespassing. I chattered on about the beauty of the old building up against the sky. He informed me that he was a shutterbug "of sorts," too, but that I was trespassing.
Whatever! :) Like that has ever bothered me before.
Happy Sunday,
