Snake Island a favorite swimming hole on the lake; but watch out for the islands namesake residents

Lake Claiborne is a reservoir located near the town of Homer, Louisiana. Isolated in a rural area, it is a popular man-made fishing area that has a combined estimated area of 6,400 acres (26 km2).[1] Lake Claiborne State Park, a Louisiana state maintained camping and recreation area, lies on southern shore of the lake.

The lake was created by the construction of Clairborne Lock and Dam by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1970. The lock is for water management and navigation; no hydroelectric power is produced here. The dam was built during the terms of Governors Jimmie H. Davis and John J McKeithen.

<p>The ferry services across the southern reaches of the Irish Sea, notably from Fishguard in Wales to Rosslare, have a long history but it is worth recaling that  steamer services, both railway and privately operated, have historically also served the then importnat ports of Cork and Waterford in Ireland. This Summer 1955 brochure was issued by British Railways and shows details, times and connections for steamer services to all three ports; that to Cork being marketed as &quot;The Inisfallen Way&quot; and operated by the City of Cork Steam Packet Co. Ltd. The line was acquired by the Irish Government in 1965 and became part of the British &amp; Irish Steam Packet Company, or the B&amp;I LIne.<br />
<br />
As can be seen from the information and timetables the services operated gave access to many destinations, many on the Irish railway network operated then by CIÉ that have long been lost. The timetables also include certain CIÉ bus and coach operated links, some as 'railway replacement' services. On the British side connections to and from services primarily on the Western Region, including London Paddington, are shown along with fares. The services would not just be aimed at British holidaymakers travelling to Éire on holidays but also to the large numbers of Irish citizens who, at the time, found work in the UK and who would have travelled home to visit families and loved ones before heading back to work in the UK as migrant workers.<br />

The cover is a fine graphic of a steamer at sea, with text in the form of pennants, that is sadly unattributed.</p>

<p>Alcázar of Segovia is a fairytale-like castle located in the city of Segovia, Spain. Years ago a drawbridge once spanned the 26 metre-deep defensive trench, nowadays it is a permanent stone bridge.<br />

<p>The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because 3,000,000 people live near the danger zone.<br />
