Driving home after a visiting a good friend in Nijmegen. A stop-over in the beautiful countryside of the province Gelderland. Halfway on the way back between Nijmegen and Amsterdam near the village of Lunteren...still in the afterglow of my visit.
Location: West of the village of Lunteren. A little old road surrounded by trees as a side path of Postweg. Exit number 3 on the A30 highway (exit 3 "Lunteren").
Coordinates: 52°5'24" N 5°34'58" E
Reason: Just a off-road self portrait in the Dutch countryside on my home after a visit to a good friend in Nijmegen. This place should be about halfway. Nothing more nothing less.
Lunteren: Lunteren is a town in Gelderland Province, Netherlands. It has a railway station on the line between Amersfoort and Ede. It is known also because of three Conference Centres in the vicinity, like Het Bosgoed, which hosts especially academic conferences and De Werelt Congress Hotel. It is also known because the Geographical Center of the Netherlands is located northeast of the village. Lunteren was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Ede.
Population: 12.705 (2011)

Weather: Almost clear skies, 24° C

Republic of Khakassia/Siberia.
Also on this day several Russian plates were to be seen. Code 19 for Khakassia I had already seen before in Leipzig, but the distance to this Russian republic is impressive. Almost 6300km this vehicle had to cover to be discovered by me at the roadside.
Seen in Prague.

This was my final day driving HST's.
I worked this as the 14-52 departure from Aberdeen to Kx as far as Newcastle.
Edinburgh based LNER driver Paul ( right of shot) accompanied me on the Aberdeen to Edinburgh part of the journey.
He kindly took the images of me on 43307 that I have shared here.
When I departed Edinburgh minutes after I took this, it dawned on me I only had an hour and a half left driving this superb train type. I savoured every minute of the experience.
To date the arrival back at Newcastle has drawn the curtain ( so far!) on me driving two different classes of Locomotive. The first being of class 47's , with 47760 on 22-9-2003 and with 43307 as above. Hopefully I will get back on a Brush Type Four again once things return to normal.

19. April 1945
As the Soviets surround the capital of the Großdeutsches Reich, Berlin, the German defenders, Wehrmacht, SS, and civilians alike are making the final preparations for what will become one of the deadliest battles in the history of warfare. Not even the walking wounded are spared from the carnage.
“The war is nearly over. Everyone feels it, I know, but nobody voices it. Being a tank commander in a city is absolute hell, I must say. Everywhere you go there is risk of a sniper perched in an apartment building, ready to blow your brains out. The SS soldiers show nothing but ferocity. Fools, I say. Death is not something they fear, but they fear the possibility of failure. Damn fanatics. They've been rounding up anyone who makes a defeatist comment.”

Un desayuno normal, Javi comiendo su yogurt, yo tomándome un té, y papá cocinando algo (no sale en la foto, se andaba paseando)
Between two longer periods of rain, I found this gorgeous flowering cherry tree. Since it's been raining for two days, it should have been with the flowering trees for this year.
