The British Airways 777 stuck in Denver for 5 days due to volcanic ash. It actually made it as far as Canada on 04-15 then had to return to Denver. It finally left again 04-20 at 3:55am. Here it is parked at a remote ramp (far beyond the capability of my lens), with plenty of heat haze too.
Parked on the Long Island Jet Center ramp.

Shot using the microclic method of a temple in Beijing. I took one shot (starting from the left side of the view), advanced 3 clicks, then took another, etc. After 3 shots, advanced 15 clicks and centered the image, shot, and advanced another 15. Then finished the right side of the shot in normal microclic. This gave the central part of the image the "focused" feel, while the rest were clicked out of "focus".

Supposed to fly from Palma at 10.00am. Delayed to 10.15 then delayed to 11.15. Then told there was a problem with the navigation system on the aircraft but they were flying out a mechanic with the part. Hoped to be boarding at 3.00pm. Mechanic allegedly denied access to an Easyjet flight, so best possible boarding time 8.00pm if he/she caught the connecting flight. Then told we were being bussed to various hotels around Palma for the night and would be picked up at 3.00am next morning. We ended up in Magaluf in an 18-30 hotel!! I can't imagine what they thought about us, a group of 'oldies' turning up at their hotel. Didn't really care, just wanted some food and some shut-eye.

Muse and U2 stopped by Central Florid, Tampa to be exact, and put on quite the show for us. Unfortunately because traffic was so bad getting to Tampa, I was only able to see one song performed by Muse.
I was pretty excited about hearing U2 coming to the area. I had seen them once before when I was 15. Then it was announced that Muse was going to open for U2 and I became more excited to see them than U2. I've been dying to see Muse live. I've had opportunities in the past to see them but circumstaces always got in the way. Seems as though my streak continues. I am hoping wth Muse's continuing tour for their album 'The Resistace' they will make their way back to my area.
U2 was good. Bono has aged quite a bit in the 17 years since I last saw him. He's actually starting to look like Robin Williams when he doesn't have his sunglasses on. And I don't mean that in a good way. Larry Mullen Jr. also looks a little worse for wear. Adam Clayton and The Edge look the same as always.
The Challenge: Take one self portrait each day for a year.
The main thing is that you are both the photographer and the subject. For the purposes of this group, any photo which you took that contains any part of your body counts. You can use tripods, timers, or whatever else you need just as long as you take a photo yourself.

1. Opened in Camera Raw and made these settings:
Recovery: 50
Blacks: 25
Contrast: -25
Clarity: +50
Vibrance: +100
2. Then in Photoshop I put the plane on it's own layer and did some touching up.
3. I then made a new blank layer that I used for the water ( if anybody would like to know how I made the water please let me know}.
4. Then I put the clouds on a new layer.
5. I then made a copy of the plane layer, flipped it vertically and moved it down on to the water.
6. I made the plane copy layer a Smart Object and used a Displacement Map Filter set to:
Horizontal Scale: 50
Vertical Scale: 15
then check Stretch To Fit and Wrap Around.
7. Then I added a layer mask and used a Foreground to Background Gradient with White being the foreground color and Black the background.
8. I then merged all layers using the keyboard shortcut (CMD/OPT/Shift/E on Mac or Alt/Ctrl/Shift E on Pc)
9. Then I made the new layer a Smart Object and ran a High Pass Filter set to:
2 pixels and used a Blend Mode of Vivid Light.
10. I made the edge effect with a slight Drop Shadow.
11. I spent about an hour on this.

On May 19th 2025, 91 101 'FLYING SCOTSMAN' failed just north of St Neots, while working 1A09 south. After a long wait, 'Thunderbird' 47 848 was sent from Newark, to take the train south to Welwyn GC. Due to problems with air pipes on the DVT, there were problems releasing the brakes on the train.
The 47 eventually got the train moving, and reached Welwyn.
There must have been further issues, as eventually 57 012 had to be summoned south too...
After a further lengthy wait, the rake left Welwyn at 2037, and is seen here passing through Huntingdon at 2128.

The Last Day of Cancun was yet again more city exploration. This time, we were being chased down at el Mercado 28 by merchants wanting to sell us their stuff for... really any price as long as it's sold (like a FC Barcelona replica that cost 45$ for... 15$...). Then we ate some nice mexican tacos and echiladas with some very good horchata water. Great Last day. ^^
DAY 7/365
THURSDAY, JULY 29, 2010
Yesterday was THE most stressful day culminating the most stressful week I've had in a long time. I went in on Tuesday for the 5am video shoot, so that meant I got to leave at 2pm, so I get home and then I get the phone calls: the office has been pepper sprayed! So of course, I call everyone like what happened. Turns out our AM was playing with my co-supervisors key chain not realizing that the purple face thing on it wasn't a laser pointer, but a canister of pepper spray so he pushes it, sprays it in my other co-supers face, she screams then it was like a spiral effect...people came running, the fumes hit them, they started wheezing and coughing, then they couldn't open the doors because our offices are on the floor with the baby area so they had to open the roof to vent the stuff as our windows do not open (to prevent one from committing suicide).
Normally with an apology, everyone would have laughed about it and been done with it the next day, except my manager had just had this meeting with my AM b/c my co-supers were feeling like he treated them with disrespect...so can you imagine, you just had that talk and then you pepper spray them...the both of them...I mean it has to be the worst timing ever.
So we start getting emails, and they start having closed door meetings, and everyone was freaking out. My AM who is honestly a good guy, went into seclusion to deal with the emotions of knowing he may or may not be fired by 5 (b/c you know they fire you at the end of the day). We all huddled around him, and we were watching from our building out the window to the admin building to see if the HR director was coming over to get him. If you see her out of her office, you know its bad. But 5 rolled around, then 5:15, then 5:45 and no one came, so we all breathed this sigh of relief.
So Thursday was still ripe with tension. I felt so numb from the day before because it was just 8 hours of waiting and watching and seeing my AM completely distraught, and we just couldn't work. then there was more tension because its like an us vs. them situation. My AM, L, and I are good friends mainly because we've done everything together, been through every work storm, been through break ups makeups you name it, and we are the triangle of trust...anything we say dares not be repeated outside of the triangle, but the two newer ones have proven that they do not understand what the triangle of trust means, so its not like we dont' hang out iwth them or sociliaze or work well with them, its just whenever we need to talk something deep, we don't bring it up in front of them. So the pepper spray super came to work and was avoiding the 3 of us all day, went to our manager and closed the door and completely broke down in tears b/c she thought she was going to get my AM fired and she knew that if that happened, even though completely not her fault, it would put a huge strain on me and L's relationship with her, then the one who got sprayed directly in the face wasn't talking either...it was the longest day EVER of the longest week EVER. So at 4:29, I clocked out and left so fast the dust was flying. I just want things to go back to normal....

In the previous verse, James made it clear that temptation to sin always comes from within ourselves. It’s never God’s fault. No matter how terrible our circumstances are, the desire to sin is still ours. We are tempting ourselves to sin. God provides trials and ordeals as a way to “exercise” our faith, in order to make it stronger. The lure of giving up, sinning, and defying God is not the purpose of His will.
Here James warns us of the consequence of giving into our desire, which is falling into sin. When we say “yes” to the desire to do what we want, instead of trusting God and obeying Him, sin is born. Then sin grows up and produces death.
Sin always leads to death. For those who are not in Christ—who have not accepted God’s free gift of forgiveness of sin, who have not been born again to a new life—that death is permanent and eternal. But even for Christians, sin brings deadly consequences. Later in this letter James will write that when Christians succeed in turning each other back from sin, they save each other from death (James 5:19–20).

Made the filter using a -8 prescription lens for glasses. Just go to your local glasses store and ask for a uncut prescription lens. Make sure you get a glass one and it ill cost you around $15. Then all i did was zip die it to the inside of a toilet paper role and wallah!
