A lighthouse was first established at Flamborough by Sir John Clayton in 1669, but was never lit.
Designed by architect Samuel Wyatt, the present lighthouse was built by John Matson of Bridlington in 1806 at a cost of £8,000. The lighthouse was oil-burning, with an equivalent candle power of 14,000. In 1940 the Flamborough Lighthouse was electrified with further modifications in 1974. Automated in early 1996, the keepers finally left on 8 May.

The Mokihana sailing out of San Francisco Bay. Shot from up on the Golden Gate Bridge as it was about to sail under.
This building in Hubbard, Texas stands alone surrounded by warehouses and vacant lots strangely separated from other brick buildings on Magnolia Avenue. I found a photo online circa 1920 that shows this building surrounded by other brick buildings, one being a hotel. The same photo shows a striking victorian two story bank building a couple blocks away. Most of these buildings, including the Jarvis Matson Building, were built during the boom times in Hubbard between 1895 and 1915. The street scene remained the essentially same for almost 60 years. Then At 6:28 am on March 10, 1973, a powerful F4 tornado cut a diagonal path through the town, and destroyed or damaged half of the buildings in town. Among those damaged or destroyed were some of the buildings on Magnolia Avenue including the distinctive bank building. In the storm’s aftermath The Matson Building now stood alone, a survivor.
When I asked 3 ladies working in the gas station what they thought the most photo worthy places in town are. One said she liked the colors and style of the old Jarvis Matson Building. Her suggestion resulted in a series of photographs of this beautiful survivor.

Thank you, my dear photographer for this captured moment! :)
Vitosha is mountain on the outskirts of Sofia - the capital of Bulgaria.
This is one of the tourists symbols of Sofia and the closest site for hiking, alpinism and skiing... and it has the outlines of an enormous dome.
The territory of the mountain includes Vitosha nature park, which is the oldest nature park in the Balkans.

The Dales Way runs from Ilkley in West Yorkshire and terminates after 80 miles of wonderful scenery in the Yorkshire Dales a mile or so from here in Bowness- on-Windermere, Cumbria.
She was sitting there just clean and pretty in the light November rain. I think she is taking a rest before the loading or unloading will begin. My 24-70 lens really seemed to want to do this, raining or not.
Thank you for you kind and warm visits my friends. You are much appreciated! :)

The building was constructed in 1922 - 1924 to serve as the headquarters of the Matson Navigation Company, then the largest shipping and transportation company between the West Coast and Hawaii.
In addition, the building held mainland offices for three of Hawaii's Big Five corporations and multiple smaller Hawaiian firms, making it a prominent fixture in San Francisco - Hawaii commerce. Architects Bliss & Faville designed the Renaissance Revival building. The sixteen-story building is divided into three sections; the lower and upper sections feature extensive ornamentation, giving the building a column-like appearance. The outside of the building is clad in terra cotta, which is also used for the building's decorative elements. The building's design complements the neighboring Pacific Gas and Electric Company General Office Building, which was built around the same time. In 1945 - 1947, a matching annex was placed on the building to provide more space for Matson's offices.
This is a scene that ended up having more significance for me than I thought when I clicked the shutter. Unbeknownst to me, my mother actually worked for Matson Navigation before she met my father. To add a little more synchronicity to the moment, I also found out that dad once owned a gas station about a block away from where I took this shot. Here I was wandering amongst ghosts from my past, and I didn't even realize it. Come to think of it, I did get a chill shiver down my spine as I was standing there.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.
San Francisco, CA
Located in the Gloucester suburb of Matson,the present church dates from the 1890s,although there has been a place of worship here since the 1100s.
A curious fisherman gets a closer look at the Matson dock getting their new crane delivered in Kodiak a couple years ago. While the Matson crane is impressive in its own right, standing over 340' tall, with a boom that can handle 72 tons of weight, the barge that brought the crane to Kodiak sailed all the way from China loaded with all of these massive machines. Pretty amazing.
We were tied up near the Aloha Tower. We could see some of the container ships in the Harbor. This is a Matson container ship.

With a nice uniform top-layer of Matson containers head out, this stack train looks like it could be in one of their promos! Here this intra-California container shuttle is seen crossing a small marsh area in Antioch, CA.
