Here's a sight known to all British motorists - the hated Gatso speed camera!

---

I need to take a picture of another well-hated camera: the red-light camera. It takes your license plate when you run a red light.

Here is that red-light camera I was referring to. If you run the intersection when the light has turned red, it will make an image of your license plate, and the respective city will send you a citation for $75. This one is at the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Gaylord Pkwy. in Frisco. Plano has several intersections with them. Richardson and Garland has a couple as well.

We also have traffic light cameras, and I've no objection to these. Traffic lights are clearly visible, and everyone knows they have to stop at red. UK roads though, frequently have speed limits varying constantly from 40 to 70 mph along the same stretch without any change in road conditions. Residential areas might have speed limits of anything from 30mph to 60 mph, and it's usually at the most confusing sites where speed cameras are placed - nothing whatsoever to do with road safety and everything to do with collecting as much money as possible from long suffering motorists!
Now to 'get off my soap-box', here's a peaceful image of St. Thomas A'Beckett church in the nearby village of Northaw. It was built in the 19th century to replace an older church which had burned down.

Argus, my husband and I took our honeymoon trip to St. John's. Which bay is that? Lovely!

Sorry djsgal I can't remember. We were on a nature hike with a group and we were suppose to stop here and go for a swim. Unfortunately the fellow running the group couldn't get permit from the government that he was a certified life guard so we just walked by.

From the roof of the school I was at today, the little light rail system looks like a train set!

You're right - hard to believe it isn't a model
I was working in London again today. This is Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, commemorating his victory over the French fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar - at which he perished. For a close-up image see Nelson

Y'all? Is that used in the UK too? It IS very handy to use, and when talking to a large group of people you can say, "All y'all"!

Too bad about no swimming, Argus - water looks so refreshing, too!

Ok, enough chatting. All y'all ( ) are going to be so sick of my Hawaii photos before too long. But here's yet another, on the Big Island at "Pu'uhonua o Honaunau", or "Place of Refuge", where vanquished warriors could go for protection from enemies and gods.
