Dolok Ilir North Sumatra Indonesia 2nd May 1981

nobody@ipernity.com (Loose_Grip/Pete) — Mon, 02 May 2022 07:52:49 +0000

PJKA ex-Deli Railway wood-burning 2-6-4T number 55, Werskpoor (468/1920) Netherlands, at Dolok Meranggir palm oil plantation, south east of Medan with a tank train.

We were living in Medan at this time & I have to confess that the combination of the constant 30 degree heat, 98% humidity and the very poor roads packed with slow dirty trucks made me not that interested in chasing steam engines more likely than not under grey skies and 3-4 hours drive away in the countryside.

Saint-Vincent is located in the centre of Sommelonne, a village with a population of about 500. The church is in wide parts Romanesque, - but was locked. So I had time, to look at all the carved graffiti people had carved into the church´s walls over the last centuries.

The Pizzeria "Le Portofino", based in Bar le Duc, runs this vending machine in the village of Saudrupt. It was not the time for pizza, when I passed by, so I did not try.

Clermont-en-Argonne - Saint-Didier

nobody@ipernity.com (Martin M. Miles) — Sun, 24 May 2020 14:59:44 +0000

Martin M. Miles has posted:

Saint-Didier was built in the 16th century in a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance style. It burned down during the Great War after set on fire by German soldiers. Repair and rebuilding started in 1919.

This "Mise au tombeau" has actually six statues, as it is flanked by two very baroque wooden angels. It was located in a chapel of the Château de Clermont

At least the lady in the centre is attributed to Ligier Richier while the other two may have been created by another studio. The statue of Christ was probably carved prior 16th century.

55 Broadway, London

nobody@ipernity.com (John FitzGerald) — Sat, 08 Dec 2018 00:17:45 +0000

John FitzGerald has posted:

The building in back was opened in 1929 as the headquarters of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, later part of the London Underground. The architect was Charles Holden, and the building features sculptures by several important sculptors. One of the sculptures, by Jacob Epstein, outraged many when the building opened, until Epstein agreed to chop off its penis.

Transport for London announced plans several years ago to move out of the building by 2015, but according to TripAdvisor it ran an open house there three weeks ago, so still seems to be using the building.

Update
======

In 2020, planning permission was granted for a conversion of 55 Broadway into a luxury hotel. The website of the hotel chain that obtained the permission still show the conversion as a future project.

Saint-Mihiel - Saint-Étienne

Saint-Mihiel had a parish church already in the 10th century. The Romanesque structure got renovated and rebuilt in the 13th and enlarged in the 16th century. During the French Revolution, the church was used as a hospital, but got re-consecrated in 1802. Soon plans were made, to broaden the road passing the church, so in 1823 the old belltower, one aisle and the side chapel were demolished.

Renaissance sculptor Ligier Richier, a genius of his time, was born in Saint-Mihiel around 1500.

One of his major works is the "Mise au Tombeau".

The grid, that saves it frim nosy tourists, - and the blue light make it difficult to take a decent photo. It is a fantastic sculpture.

Ligier Richier, who had unsuccessfully petitioned the Duke of Lorraine to allow him to practice in the reformed Protestant religion, completed this "entombment", before he left Lorraine and moved to Geneva, where he was free to follow this religion.

5597 at Hornsby loco depot. It is using the original type of tender for this class, which was attached for a railfan trip. They were usually fitted with the turret tender used by the 53 cl and many 50 cl locomotives. In the evening it will work a freight to Chatswood and St Leonards. The vehicle in front of the loco is freight guards van. Occasionaly I saw a van with the loco but mostly this wasn't done.
