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.

-- 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,

I had to take this shot this afternoon, of a caring father walking his cherished little daughter along the breakwater, with waves lapping over the top and a can of Stella in his hand, at Harwich in Essex. I'm quite sure the little girl is turning round and asking "Dad, what does that sign say?".

Animals or Children over 16 ok then?

Near the 'tip' of Swanscombe Peninsula - Broadness ? - there is an enclosed area: a kidney shaped pond with two square pools nearby and some small buildings. Some kind of water monitoring site, I suppose...
I didn't test it.
Flickr's silly map has, yet again, misidentified the location. Grays is across the River Thames and this photo is not there...

I had to photoshop out the ugly white warningsigns that are placed all over the ship but the rest is as shot.

Good strange sign spot by my regular photostream contributor David on his travels at Port Isaac in Cornwall (UK) and the photograph is posted here with kind permission.
I took these Photographs when everyone was returning to their Motor Cars in order to continue our Journey East to Mount Vernon
.
This series of Photograph shows a groups of Speeders that participated in this NARCOA Excursion. Notice that everyone is required by NARCOA to wear a Reflective Safety Vest to participate in the excursion.
Notice the two handles sticking out of the front of the Rail Car. These handles can be slid front to rear through the car. When extended out from the car, they provide Leverage for Lifting the Front or Rear of the Car. Using these Handles, you can lift the Front or Rear to maneuver the car onto the tracks. This is usually done at a grade crossing to minimize the effort need to Set the Car onto the Track. Some cars have Turntables underneath with electric motors to lift the car, greatly reducing the physical work required to set the car onto the track.
The Depot now belongs to the Telfair Museum of History, which is located at 8 Sixth Street, McRae-Helena, Georgia 31037. The Museum Telephone Number is: (229) 868-7114.
On April 22, 2006, I rode a Speeder from Pitts to Mt. Vernon, Georgia on a trip sponsored by NARCOA (aka North American Rail Car Owners Association). Since I don't own a Motor Car (aka a Speeder) , I rode with my friend Bill, who owns two Motor Cars. These are some photos of Water Towers that I saw during my trip on the Heart of Georgia Railroad. We started our trip from Pitts and traveled East, passing through the towns of Glenwood, Alamo, Helena, Milan, Rhine,

A page from the c1950 Franco Traffic Signs catalogue showing the 'standard' range of traffic warning signs known as 'pre-Worboy' designs as they were eventually replaced by the UK's standard road sign convention in 1964. The signs, some illustrated and the range listed, are unusually described here as 'symbol plates'. The catalogue is undated but the crossroads sign and the school sign (this is the 'torch of knowledge) shown here were amended to different designs in 1955. The page also shows the basic post sizes and dimensions advised and the layout of signs. My, how nice it would be to write to Franco Traffic Signs and order a set!
