East Cliff Whitby,
North Yorkshire UK
The Church of Saint Mary is an Anglican parish church serving the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire England. It was founded around 1110, although its interior dates chiefly from the late 18th century. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 23 February 1954. Wikipedia
I can still find Wiley's house
Riding on my bike with eyes closed
I could name every girl that he took out
And from my memory, dial his house phone
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends (mm, yeah)
I can still feel the windows down
Listening to Jimmy Eat World
Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)
My God, it's been ten years now
I would have his back tomorrow
And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends
And I've got some good friends now
But I've never seen their parents' back porch
I wouldn't change how things turned out
But there's no one in this time zone
Who knows what inline skates that I wore
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older?
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But the truth is
That we grow up, then wish we could go back then
There's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends

Schleibrücke bei Lindaunis in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Die Lindaunisbrücke ist eine Straßen- und Eisenbahnklappbrücke, die den Meeresarm Schlei an einer ihrer schmalsten Stellen überquert. Die Brücke wurde 1927 in Betrieb genommen und wurde seit dem von Fußgängern, Fahrzeugen und Zügen zur Überquerung der Schlei genutzt. Neben der Brücke entsteht ein Neubau, der die alte Brücke wegen ihrer Reparaturanfälligkeit im Jahre 2025 ersetzen soll. Zur Zeit kann die Brücke nur noch von Fußgängern und Radfahrern genutzt werden.
The Lindaunis Bridge is a road bridge and draw bridge which crosses the Baltic Sea inlet 'Schlei' at one of its narrowest place. The bridge was put into service in 1927 and was used by pedestrians, cars and trains to cross the Schlei. Alongside the bridge a new construction will be completed probably until 2025 to replace the old bridge due to its repair susceptibility. Until then only pedestrians and bicyclists are allowed to use the bridge.
When I drove past this barn I just had to stop and get a photo. The nice shade of red paint, faded flag and the birds sitting on the power lines just make the shot!
Seen near English, Indiana
There are 4 old pumps in Woodford, two of which are in Chigwell Road some distance apart and this is the larger of the two there. It's a very busy road but for photographic art (!), I've shown it this way.
I understand there is a local group who look after them and re-paint them annually.
Hope this joke won't be lost on some of my foreign-speaking friends... :)))) Do I dare add a hint??? :)
Well both of these were found at a flee market. How suitable that they be in the same image. Gerry like old things. As do I.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
Built in 1906 in Hermann, Missouri this building was once home to the fire station, police station and by the signage City Hall. It is now home to the License Bureau.
Along the road in my previous photo I passed this old wooden house. I imagine it to be a "Walserhaus", a house originally built by the people who immigrated into the Kleinwalsertal from Wallis in Switzerland.
The German word "Walserhaus" is used by locals for houses that were mainly constructed in wood, and this seems to be the case here. Its frame will be wood and even the outside is covered in wooden scales, something you rarely see these days. It's a large and impressive house, situated along the street called "Am Höhenweg" in Baad, and it is very close to the church. Another, very similar house nearby is the old chaplain's house, which was built in 1714. It also has these wooden scales, so I think the house in my photo may date from the same period.
The Karl Theodor Bridge, commonly known as the Old Bridge, is a stone bridge in Heidelberg, crossing the Neckar River. It connects the Old City with the eastern part of the Neuenheim district of the city on the opposite bank.
