Passenger train departing Falun, Sweden.

Well said. It's strange how real culture is while being artificial.

If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

Does anyone have any plans or diagrams of Thornton-Pickard's roller-blind focal plane shutter?

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene focused on the laborious task of handling cable at what appears to be a mill or logging site. In the foreground, there's a person wearing overalls, gloves, and protective headgear with ear protection, working atop makeshift planks laid across a gully-like terrain filled with water. This individual is holding cables, suggesting they are either laying them out for use in operations or recovering them from where they were previously used. Behind the worker, there's an incline leading up to a wooden structure that looks like a mill shed, featuring large doors and visible beams supporting its roof. Smoke rises near this building, indicating ongoing mechanical activity inside. The terrain is rugged with loose rocks and earth, indicative of heavy usage or construction work in progress. In the background, more logs are piled beside each other along what appears to be another incline leading away from the shed. Text on the left side reads "2014-1936" which could indicate a date range relevant to the photograph's context but is not directly related to visual content within this image. The overall setting suggests an industrial logging environment during early 20th-century America, with workers engaged in manual labor typical of such industries at that time.

Bonus workings for Swindon this week with @GWRHelp #Class57 57604 ‘Pendennis Castle’ running as 0Z62 Reading Traincare Depot to Swindon and 0Z63 Swindon to Reading Traincare Depot. Always nice to see these out in daylight

Melway edition 1 showing Paisley station in 1966 / Google Maps view of the same area

Paisley station served Altona North from 1929 to 1985. Rebuilding and reopening it would provide better public transport options for the local community.

A late afternoon scene looking along a multi-tracked length of railway line that is spanned by a number of signal gantries as it heads away into the distance. At right are some carriages stabled in sidings. In the centre distance is a VLine X class hood style diesel locomotive in blue and gold livery, and partly obscured by the X is a Comeng electric multiple unit set in Met green and yellow livery.

Today's historic pic: Looking north-west along the approach tracks to Spencer Street station, Melbourne, Vic, August 30 1986. At right are the Bank sidings where VLine locos and carriages are stabled, and in the distance is a blue and gold liveried X class diesel loco and a Comeng EMU behind it.

That's cool. I thought these works had been lost forever. Glad you're still around

Is there anywhere one can read these OCTs?

An ornate clocktower on a white coloured stone railway station building in the distance framed by a cutout of an 8 pointed star in the detailing of a balcony in the foreground.

For the first time in ages, a couple of weeks ago I was in the Victorian city of Ballarat. I had just a bit of free time, so I took some photos. We stayed at the Quest Ballarat station- it's a bit like a modern-day station hotel. The balcony decos created unusual photo framing opportunities. (1/15)

In the middle distance, a Melbourne SW5 class tram in green and yellow livery runs towards the camera along an otherwise near-deserted wide tree-lined road. City highrise buildings fill the skyline. In the lower foreground are white side-of-road markings denoting car parking spots - most of which are vacant.

Today's historic pic: On the last day of route 77, SW5 class tram no 810 runs a Prahran-bound route 77 in Batman Avenue, Melbourne, Vic, November 1 1986. This tramway, which thereafter carried route 70, plus the roadway itself, were diverted in 1999, and this spot is now Birrarung Marr parkland.

A family of snow-bleached violet toothed polypore mushrooms look exactly like a family of mollusks grown on the side of a log. All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

Clay sculpture of a Zapotec god, from the Valley of Oaxaca. The god on this urn is Cocijo, the Zapotec deity of thunder. This is supported by the raindrops on different parts of the body. The rattles, frequent in images of Cocijo, reinforce this. 350-600 CE.

I saw Ran at #acmi yesterday. What an amazing experience! If you can, I highly recommend going. #melbourne

Writing Tip:
Do something different. Take a class you've never tried. Hang out in a place you don't frequent. Go feed some birds or learn to sketch. New things will always teach you something you can include in your writing. Life experience is a foundation for writing.

If you're in Melbourne and you haven't been, the Galloway Hoard exhibition at the museum is excellent.

A view along the lower deck context gallery, with the ship sort-of visible through a smallish window. It's also covered in ducting, which isn't ideal.

The Mary Rose from the lower deck context gallery now, with full views of the ship.

Did you last visit when the ship was covered in ducting and visible through small windows?

Time for a return visit...

Can you integrate this into kagi maps? And also add a political map mode as well? Also the ability to form and raise divisions and ultimately re-create HoI4 in the browser?
