<p>I have a recurring idea when I stay in the truck on a trip. It's a vision of looking forward to waking up snug in my bed, leisurely starting my day with a little breakfast, getting myself ready, packing up, and breaking camp by neatly folding down the camper. How does it go in reality, well on this day I jolted awake to the sound of an air horn sounding a crossing sequence a couple blocks away. The fire drill commences! Bail out of my bunk, get dressed, rip the bedding off the bunk so I can fold down the camper, and head out so I can retrieve the power cord and start getting road ready. Within minutes the roof is latched down and the truck started. By then the train has rolled east out of earshot and I follow suit and leave town. <br />
<br />
This stretch of railroad is a far cry from the early days of the DM&E when it was fresh off the death bed. Doing every bit of 40 mph it took a while to catch up. I didn't catch a glimpse until I approached Wessington where the last cars were just bending around the curve and away from Highway 14. I pressed on to Wolsey including one pause for a single lane construction zone. Fully awake when I pulled into town, I was relieved to see the train blocking the crossing as they started to set out a block of cars into the yard west of town. A series of slow switching moves allowed me to avoid a couple troublesome clouds and frame up the power with the old C&NW station sign. June 28, 2025.</p>

<p>, The Square, Lenham, England, United Kingdom, UK<br />
The late afternoon sun on a winter day in February illuminates a 15th-century timber-framed building in The Square of Lenham, a historic market village in Kent, England. The low light highlights the texture of the traditional Kentish peg-tile roof and the ancient wooden beams of the building, which now houses an antique shop and other local businesses. Bare trees and a dramatic, cloudy sky frame the scene, while modern cars parked in the foreground create a contrast that captures a moment where centuries of history meet contemporary daily life.</p>

<br />
During my trip to the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia I was keen to photograph all of the main buildings. The exterior of the Caixa Forum was probably the least photogenic but the structure made for some interesting internal shots. I'd suggest the architectural parallels with the 2016 New York Oculus, also by Calatrava, are clearly visible.<br />

<br />
From Wikipedia, "L'Àgora (Spanish: El Ágora; anglicised "The Agora") is a multifunctional covered space designed by Santiago Calatrava located in the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (City of Arts and Sciences) complex, Valencia, Spain.<br />
<br />
The building has a height of 70m (230ft) and occupies 5,000m2 of space with an open ground plan resembling a pointed ellipse about 88m (289ft) long and 66m (217ft) wide. Depending on the configuration of the space, a maximum seating capacity for 6,075 people can be reached.<br />
<br />
The building is a diaphanous large arena, with a glass roof along its spine and a movable structure to control the overhead natural light. The tall white steel rib-cage arches give the interior space an organic element, whereas the exterior is geometric and abstract, in day or when illuminated at night."<br />

<p>, St Mary's Church, Lenham, England, United Kingdom, UK<br />
On a late winter afternoon in February, the low sun breaks through the clouds to illuminate the historic St Mary's Church in the village of Lenham, Kent, England. In the foreground, weathered and moss-covered headstones, some broken by time, are scattered across the green churchyard. The church itself, a Grade I listed building constructed largely of local flint, stands as a timeless centerpiece. With parts of its structure dating back to the Norman period, the church and its surrounding graveyard serve as a quiet testament to centuries of local history.</p>

<p>, The Square, Lenham, England, United Kingdom, UK<br />
On a late afternoon in February, the low winter sun casts long shadows across The Square in the historic market village of Lenham, Kent, England.<br />
<br />
In the foreground, a weathered stone trough provides a burst of early spring colour with blooming pansies, a hopeful sign of the changing seasons. The scene captures the quintessential blend of history and daily life in an English village, where modern cars are parked in front of a row of centuries-old buildings. Among the varied facades of brick and timber are the Lenham Library and a classic red telephone box. To the right stands the distinctive gabled Sexton's House, a building with medieval origins that was rebuilt in the 19th century, overlooking the heart of the village.</p>
