197 years ago, on the 8th of October 1829, Stephenson’s Rocket won the Rainhill Trails in which five locomotives competed. Stephenson’s Rocket was the only one to complete the rails. A light engine running speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) was reached. Prize money was £500. #otd #history 🗃️
Later conjectural drawing of the Rainhill trials. In the foreground is Rocket and in the background are Sans Pareil (right) and Novelty.

Sunset over Kapiti Island. #sunset #newzealand #eck
A sunset scene on the beach. There are long, broken clouds in the sky, which are reflected in the wet sand. The sun is setting over Kapiti Island, seen at the horizon.

Found this resplendent flower. Don't know what kind it is. If I got to name it, I'd call it a Purplepoint Cuttle-Daisy. Or Cecilia. #flowers #nature #love #nokings #BeKind #photography #pnw #goodmorning
Close up of whitish flower with lilac/purple tips. Rows of greens and some other flower heads behind as it was from a flower farm. Sky is muted and grey.

from W A Barr Road, the South Fork Sacramento River was cranking towards Lake Siskiyou from its source during late spring when snow melt was winding down. beautifully nestled in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest with wispy clouds painting the blue sky. but not something you'd want to fall in. it would be underwater pinball & you would be the ball.

A bust-length, oval-shaped portrait of a jowly, solemn-looking white man with long gray hair, wearing a black robe or jacket and a white cravat. His body faces the right edge of the artwork at a slant; he turns his head toward his right shoulder so that the viewer can see his face in full.

One good thing about the mornings getting darker is that you’re actually up to see the sunrise and if you’re lucky enough to have an easterly view, you can’t miss it! 😺
A fiery red sunrise with tinges of purple and blue in wispy clouds over the silhouettes of trees with scattered street lamps still lit in the early morning. The outline of a church spire is visible to the right of the frame.

In 1534, antiquary John Leland visited Sheriff Hutton Castle and was struck by its grandeur, declaring that he had seen “no house in the north so much like the palace of a prince.” Built in the late 14th century by John Neville, Lord of Raby, the castle was one of the great strongholds in the north
Sheriff Hutton castle was built in the 14th century, it served as a royal residence for monarchs including Richard III and Henry VIII, as well as the headquarters for the Council of the North.

#OTD in 2006, Anna Politkovskaya--Russian investigative journalist & human rights defender--was murdered in her apt building in Moscow. #PressFreedom She exposed state corruption, opposed the Chechen conflict & wrote "Putin's Russia," a book critical of his rise to power & authoritarian shift.
A serious portrait-style photograph of Russian journalist, author, and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya (August 30, 1958 – October 7, 2006). Globally revered for her fearless exposure of human rights abuses in Chechnya and her staunch criticism of Vladimir Putin, she looks slightly off-camera with a solemn, resolute, and deeply contemplative expression. Her face is framed by her signature silver-gray hair, parted down the middle and tucked behind her ears, revealing long, slender gold bar earrings. She wears oval, wire-rimmed gold glasses and a crisp, white collared shirt that stands out sharply against the composition. She is in the right two-thirds of the frame, balanced by a soft-focused, bright outdoor background of green and white bokeh on the left. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her focused gaze. The overall mood is serious, reflective, and dignified, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion of press freedom who paid the ultimate price for her investigative work.

I’ve been meaning to start some new socks for a while and this week’s #showmeyourknits prompted me to just do it already. Loving this autumnal yarn from Speckled Whimsy. 🍂🤎💚🧡💙Self-drafted pattern (making it up as I go). #WIPWednesday #knitting 🧶
A hand knit sock work in progress sits on a wooden table. Knit sock far is a portion of the cuff of the sock which is shown on the cables of a long circular needle. Above the sock on the table are the balls of working yarn. The yarn is self-striping in gray, blue, orange, brown, and green. To the top right of the sock is a ceramic ghost wearing glasses and a purple  and orange hat.
