Job 1:20-22
King James Version
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. 22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
This would be my 1001 image on Flickr, I did not yet sign for PRO as the price is almost the same as Adobe witch I got rid last year. With our poor canadian dollar it is closer to 20$ then 10$ for those fee.
So this is the lucky moment I captured the other day, someone playing the birds.
Having taken over from 45596 at Carnforth, 46115 was to take the run onwards to Edinburgh, a hot tender axle box would curtail the run at Lockerbie, the stock being taken on by the trailing Diesel.
The engine was allowed to travel back to Carnforth under its own steam at speeds of 20 , then 30 and back to 20 mph. There is a possible loaded run looming in mid May.

Whenever I see a sunset like this, I expect to hear a big voice coming from the sky to give me a really important message. I never get them unless the message is to photograph the moment.

Some of you will remember me posting up a pic the other day asking for votes for a photo competition.
Well those votes have paid off well, I'm in the final, now it gets narrowed down to the top 20. then the top 6.
I don't even care if I win, as nice as £10,000 would be, to be in the final and having many people support me is good enough.
So thanks to everyone who voted, and everyone who helps me.
I am very happy with this.

A Bittern flew out of the reeds on the right and headed left across the lake and over the reedbeds at 10.20, then 12.40 it (or another) flew back from the left to the right. Nice to see😍.
A good friend of mine (thanks Richie Rich!!) found a complete but long dead dragonfly while ripping out a Vodafone shop in Salisbury last week and knowing my interest in macro photography kept it for me......this is the first chance I've had to finally have a play......so this is a tiny part of a wing..... I placed the dragonfly on a sheet of green tissue paper...which in turn was placed on top of the Makita LED torch, Olloclip macro @ 21x, tripod, remote, zoomed in on iPhone by 20%, then cropped (30%), healed, and subsequently battered......all in Snapseed on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
When you look closely at the image (esp. middle right) it's possible to see claw like protuberances, these are situated near the wing tip. I have no idea what purpose they serve (but my guess would be structural reinforcement?) but they are included in this article below (see small B&W photo marked (g)) :-

Named: "Mademoiselle Rouge".
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWKU, this aircraft was delivered to AerCap Leasing and leased to Virgin Atlantic Airways as G-VKSS in Feb-11.
In Mar-20 the aircraft was stored at London-Heathrow due to the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was moved to Glasgow, Scotland in May-20, then to Ciudad Real Central Airport, Spain in Jul-20, Doncaster, UK in Nov-20
It moved to Manchester, UK for storage in Feb-21. The aircraft returned to service from London-Heathrow in Jul-21. Current, updated 06-Mar-22.
“I learned the value of humor during the time of Stalinist terror,” he ( Milan Kundera) told Philip Roth in a 1980 interview that ran in The New York Times Book Review. “I was 20 then. I could always recognize a person who was not a Stalinist, a person whom I needn’t fear, by the way he smiled. A sense of humor was a trustworthy sign of recognition.”
little break, i have no new photos....
something about this photo:
scan from print...made some time in 70s ..obviously not by me...he could have around 20 then
i just found that photo and i like it, my dad looks cool on it ..hihi
...so this is just something for me, to make me smile...
I'm enjoying the start of a 3 day weekend.
Hope you are all having fantastic ones!
More winter scenes ... hope you enjoy them and aren't too bored. It's all I've got to shoot right now lol. And to all of you commenting on how cold they look ... I guess I must be a winter child since I was born in January. I love going out in the snow - unless it's below 20 - then I'm with the rest of you and stay indoors with a good fire or something to keep me warm.
Hugs!

Beautiful feathery flakes of snow
Over the woodland and field they go
Making a blanket so warm and deep
Over the flowers that lie asleep

Three airliners awaiting their fate in the scrapping compound at the east end of Cotswold/Kemble Airport (EGBP).
Air Atlanta Boeing 747-428 TF AAK, initially delivered new to Air France as F GITH in Mar 2003 until wfu in 2015, purchased by Air Atlanta the same year. From Feb to Jun 2016 was used by the rock band 'Iron Maiden' as 'Ed Force One' for their 'Book of Souls World Tour', arrived at Cotswold in Apr 2022 for storage.
Former Titan Airways Boeing 757-256 G LSAO ex Iberia Airlines EC HIS July 2003, with Titan since Sept 2010 until withdrawn in May 2023, to Cotswold that same month. Reportedly purchased by Jet2 for spares soon after arrival.
Fuselage only of former Jota Aviation BAe 146-200 G SMLA, roaded in from Cranfield (EGTC) where initial scrapping took place. Built at BAe Hatfield in 1985 and delivered to Pacific Southwest Airlines as N364PS, that airlines 18th delivery of 20 then on order in total at the time.
He (Jesus) went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”[a]
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Operated by Avion Express on behalf of Thomas Cook Airlines UK. The emergency exit lines around the door are supposed to painted on the door and not on the fuselage. However, the painters have gone mad on the rear door and painted both the door and the surrounding fuselage...
Oh dear! This one has a very long and confusing history. First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWBM, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Air 2000 as G-OOAS in Oct-01.
It was leased to Skyservice Airlines (Canada) as C-GTDG in Dec-02. It returned to Air 2000 in Apr-03, still as C-GTDG and sub-leased from Skyservice for the summer season (a bit like the Sunwing aircraft do with TUI today (May-19)). It was returned to Air 2000 as G-OOAS in Nov-03.
Air 2000 was renamed First Choice Airlines in Feb-04. Now it gets a bit confusing... The aircraft was leased to Skyservice Canada again, as C-GTDG, in Nov-04. It was wet-leased back to First Choice in Apr-05 for summer 2005 before returning to Skyservice in Nov-05 for the winter.
It came back to First Choice in Apr-06 for summer 2006, operated by Skyservice, and stayed with First Choice for the 2006/07 winter and the 2007 summer seasons until it returned to Skyservice in Nov-07.
It was returned to First Choice in Apr-08, now registered G-OOPP. First choice was merged into Thomson Airways in Nov-08 and the aircraft was again leased to Skyservice as C-GTDG a week later. It was wet-leased back to Thomson Airways for the 2009 summer and returned to Canada for the 2009/10 winter.
It was due to return to Thomson Airways at the end of Mar-10 but got stuck in Keflavik, Iceland when the volcano with the unpronounceable name erupted. It was there for 3 weeks before it managed to get back to the UK in Apr-10 and was re-registered G-OOPP. The aircraft was retired by Thomson Airways in Dec-11 and was stored at Manchester UK.
It was returned to the lessor in Mar-12 and leased to Monarch Airlines as G-OZBW a week later. It stayed with Monarch until they ceased operations in Oct-17.
It was returned to the lessor and was initially stored at Shannon, Ireland and moved to Luton, UK in Dec-17 for further storage. It was due to the be leased to Small Planet Airlines Germany as D-ASPJ in Mar-18 but that didn't happen and it was leased to Avion Express as LY-VEB later that month.
It was wet-leased to Condor Flugdienst for 2 months until the end of May-18, and then to SunExpress Airlines (Turkey) for the summer season from Apr/Nov-18. From Nov-18 through to early Apr-19 it variously operated services for Condor Flugdienst, Transavia France, Royal Air Maroc and Condor again.
It was leased to Thomas Cook Airlines UK at the end of Apr-19 and was expected to return to Avion Express in early Nov-19. However, Thomas Cook Airlines UK ceased operations on 23-Sep-19 when the Thomas Cook Group ceased trading. The aircraft was returned to Avion Express and immediately wet-leased to Titan Airways (UK) for two weeks to assist in the repatriation of stranded Thomas Cook UK passengers.
It was wet-leased to Tailwind Airlines (Turkey) for three weeks in Oct/Nov-19 before ferrying to Amman, Jordan for six week heavy maintenance. The aircraft was stored at Chateauroux, France in mid Dec-20 and was wet-leased to LOT Polish Airlines at the beginning of Feb-20.
Then the COVID-19 Pandemic happened and LOT returned the aircraft to Avion Express. It operated a few more charters before being stored at Vilnius, Lithuania in Jul-20. It was ferried to Ciudad Real, Spain in Feb-21 for further storage. It was returned to Deucalion Aviation as OE-ITF in Apr-21 and was thought to be permanently retired.
However, the aircraft operated a 15 minute test flight at Ciudad Real on 29-Sep-21 and returned to storage. It was re-registered LY-VEB again in Apr-23 and was ferried to Varna, Bulgaria at the end of May-23.
There was a mention of it being leased to Electra Airways but that didn't happen and as far as I'm aware it hasn't flown since. It's had a hard life and is quite possibly permanently retired. Updated 16-Apr-24.
In the mid to late 1980s Leyland introduced a mid engine chassis, with support from its Danish associate company DAB. This was to compete with Volvo's Citybus chassis which was launched in 1982.
Thirty-two Lions were built for UK operators, with the Scottish Bus Group taking most (nineteen) and the balance (thirteen) going to Nottingham City Transport. The latter operator gained a further five Lions in 1989. These had been ordered by SBG, and they arrived in Nottingham after use by Chester City Transport.
The six Lion LDTL11/1R / Alexander CH49/37F built for Kelvin in 1987, were not delivered to that operator. Financial difficulties at Kelvin meant all six buses where stored at Alexander’s Coachworks in Falkirk for many months. The batch eventually went to Clydeside, although one was used by Leyland which demonstrated it to other operators.
The following notes (up to the mid 1990s only) give some more information about the "Kelvin" vehicles.
D851 RDS, built as Kelvin 2851 (chassis number 8600462, body number RH47 2586/1). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 160, E160 YGB (then temporarily Western 960), reregistered VLT 166 (12/92), then E889 CDS (5/94). Became Chester 16, then Nottingham as 399 (8/98).
D852 RDS, built as Kelvin 2852 (chassis number 8600463, body number RH47 2586/2). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 165, D865 RDS (then temporarily Western 965), and also used as a Leyland Demonstrator. Reregistered 705 DYE (12/92?), then D160 UGA before withdrawal and disposal to Cottrell, Mitcheldean (7/94).
D853 RDS, built as Kelvin 2853 (chassis number 8600464, body number RH47 2586/3). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 161, E161 YGB, (then temporarily Western 961), reregistered FSU 661 (12/92), then E925 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 17, then Nottingham 397 (8/98).
D854 RDS built as Kelvin 2854 (chassis number 8600465, body number RH47 2586/4). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 162, E162 YGB (then temporarily Western 962), reregistered 32 CLT (12/92), then E941 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 18, then Nottingham as 396 (8/98).
D855 RDS, built as Kelvin 2855 (chassis number 8600466, body number RH47 2586/5). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 163, E163 YGB (then temporarily Western 963), reregistered WLT 364 (12/92), then E938 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 19, then Nottingham as 398 (8/98).
D856 RDS built as Kelvin 2856 (chassis number 8600467, body number RH47 2586/6). Not used, delivered to Clydeside 164, E164 YGB (then temporarily Western 964), reregistered VLT 204 (12/92), then E935 CDS (6/94). Became Chester 20, then Nottingham as 396 (8/98).

Jet pack on your feet, It's called Flyboarding.
Taken on the 12/09/2021 at 15:30:22Hrs using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera, In Southampton waters, from the balcony of cabin 07184 of ANTHEM OF THE SEAS cruise liner.
The jetpack attached to the feet thrusts down high pressure water, creating lift which propels the subject 10, 15, 20, then 35 feet above the surface.
Flying vertically twisting left and right then making a deliberate dive into the water below, breaking the surface and again blasting 30 feet above the surface of the water once more
Sooo...I've slipped down to number 25 today. Obviously there are better marketers out there! The voting ends in 3 days and if I'm not in the top 20 then I don't advance to the next and final round. Please please please vote for me if you haven't and spread the word to others and maybe do a little begging on my behalf?
I'd say I'd get naked but I guess I already played that card. :D

Nonpareils are one of my Favorite candies.
I usually have some around the house.
These I stacked up for the Round 50 Hunt Item 20.
Then I noticed this would fit in the 52 in2014 group as Chocolate Item 42.
And also in the 114 Pictures in 2014 as #69 White on White.
Triple play for this photo.

"Star Alliance" livery.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWIV, this aircraft was leased to Spanair as EC-IOH in May-03. Spanair sub-leased it to ArkeFly (TUI Airlines Netherlands) for a month between Aug/Sep-08.
Unfortunately, Spanair suddenly ceased operations in Jan-12 and the aircraft was repossessed by the lessor, re-registered EI-EUB and stored at Dublin.
In Jun-12, it was leased to Livingston Energy Flight (Italy). They ceased operations in Oct-14 and it was returned to the lessor in Dublin. The aircraft was leased to Avion Express (an ACMI leasing specialist) as LY-VEL in Dec-14.
While it was operated by Avion Express it was sub-leased to many different airlines. Vueling Airlines between Mar/Apr-15, Condor Flugdienst between Apr/Nov-15, Dominican Wings between Nov-15/Feb-16, Wow Air (Iceland) between Feb/Mar-16 and Norwegian Air Shuttle between Mar/Apr-16.
It was leased to Thomas Cook Airlines UK in May-16 for the summer season and returned to Avion Express at the end of Oct-16. It was wet-leased to Primera Air Nordic for 10 days in Nov-16 and leased to FlyOne (Moldova) between Dec-16 and Jan-17.
In Feb-17 it ferried to Port-au-Prince (Haiti) for wet-lease to Sunrise Airways. The aircraft returned to Avion Express in Apr-17 and was sub-leased to Thomas Cook Airlines UK for the summer season, returning to Avion Express at the beginning of Nov-17 when it was briefly sub-leased to SunExpress Airlines Germany until mid Dec-17.
A week later the aircraft was leased to Condor Flugdienst. It was briefly transferred to Thomas Cook UK in Apr-18 before returning to Condor Flugdienst for summer 2018. It returned to Avion Express in Nov-18.
The list goes on... Back to Condor, Jan/Mar-19. Norwegian Air Shuttle Apr/May-19. Sun Express (Turkiye) Jun/Oct-19. VietJet Air Dec-19/Feb-20. It was wet-leased to LOT Polish Airlines in Mar-20, then the COVID-19 Pandemic hit the world and it was returned to Avion Express 12 days later.
The aircraft was stored at Kaunas, Lithuania in Apr-20 and didn't return to service until Mar-24 when it was wet-leased to Air Corsica. It returned to Avion Express in early May-24 when it was wet-leased to Transavia Airlines Holland. Current, updated 05-Jun-24.
Illegal Entry & Gaslighting
What you hear in the Audio, is a Perpetrator or Perpetrators, entering and going through our Motorhome, while Koda and I were on our hike, on 8-15-21. The clip is 11 min, 22 sec long; cut from, over an hour, someone was in our Motorhome. We were gone a little over 1 hr 45 min, they entered about 22 minutes after we left; as an airplane circles. You may want to put on a good pair of headphones, because there was interference with the audio. It doesn’t matter how many times you change your locks; these Perpetrators will be able to get in.
First, you will hear an airplane circle. Then you hear an ATV pull up. Someone enters our motorhome, then starts going through drawers and cabinets. A motorcycle pulls up, revs engine; trying to cover up a loud slamming, and the noise from opening and closing cabinets. Then another ATV shows up, turns off engine, more drawers opening and closing. Again, a motorcycle shows up, revs engine, then turns engine off, light footsteps, a couple more cabinets opening and closing, then the door closes.
The previous collage I posted “Domestic Terrorism In America”, I mentioned; there are pictures of my neighbors leaving, as Koda and I do, for our hike. The creepy guy in the Gray Dodge, that watched me change a light fixture prior, and watches Koda on pee breaks. He creeps from his camp, leaving, making sure he was seen. He’s still camped across the road from us. The perps camped behind us, set in their ATV; watching and waiting for us to leave. These same acts have been repeated over and over again, for over 12 years. They make sure you see them leaving, so they, or others, can show up and illegally enter your residence. These same acts were carried out, while I was living and working in Yosemite National Park. This is another psychological aspect of Domestic Terrorism. It also shows Planed, Conspired Acts, by Multiple People. There was an Airplane, Neighbors, ATVs and Motorcycles, someone inside our Motorhome. I know Mr FBI Guy, it’s all just a coincidence. I’m just guessing he’s thinking that, because he hung up on me when I try to inform him of Domestic Terrorism, on 8-2-21.
As Koda and I were on our hike; we were chased down by many of the people you see in the previous collage “Domestic Terrorism In America”. Koda was being hit with Electronic Stimuli; when we stopped and chatted with the perps fishing. We also, had a plane show up, followed by motorcycle drivers standing. But, none of this seems to be Terrorizing to our Famed FBI. Perpetrators can enter your home, go through your things, move things around (Gaslighting), and take a few petty items. You can change your locks a dozen times; they will get in. Then, some perp will be lurking by the Key machine, at your local Walmart. But, none of this seems to be Terrorizing to our Famed FBI.
Once we arrived back at our camp and settled in; motorcycles buzzed by, drivers standing. Making sure they were seen. This was just an act, to rub it in my face. The neighbors start coming back.
In my last post, I said I may cover Street Theater at a local laundromat. The top picture; is of a Bolete edulis, mushroom. My glasses are for scale and often used in identification. They are edible and very good. My Grandfather introduced me to mushroom foraging, when I was a young boy. I passed it on to my daughter, and so on. Anyway, we were on a previous hike, and I came across these and other non-edible mushrooms. I sent a text, with a picture of the Bolete mushroom, to my daughter. A few days later; we were in town doing laundry, at a laundromat. Not only were we mobbed, harassed, wash tampered with; one of the Bottom-Feeders, comes in and pulls some Street Theater. He walks over to where I was folding my clothes. He was talking with the owner of the laundromat, and brought up Mushrooms. He kept repeating the word mushroom and some of the text, I shared with my daughter. It was more than redundant; it was intentional. Then, he starts talking about a White 89 Buick. He asked the owner if he knew of one, he really wanted one, bla, bal, bla. When we left the laundromat, we were followed, by what looked like a White 89, Buick. I slowed down to 20, then 15 miles an hour. It still followed us all the way to Walmart. I have pictures, video and audio; proving this, and many, many more. These perpetrators will also reenact, things or conversations you have had, in the privacy of your home. I know Mr FBI Guy, who hung up on me; it’s just a coincidence. There is nothing Terrorizing about this. If I had informed my Commanders of something like this, while I was in reconnaissance, they would have been all over this.
Local Law Enforcement downplays these acts of Domestic Terrorism, or just plain dismisses it; our FBI Agency, refers it back to Local Law Enforcement. Meanwhile, these perpetrators of Domestic Terrorism, Gloat and Brandish American Flags.
How many more America lives need to be Destroyed, lost; because of Corporate Greed, Dominance? How many more American lives need to be Destroyed, lost; because of Government and Law Enforcement Corruption? Mr FBI Agent; what is your definition of Domestic Terrorism? Here is Wikipedia’s: a form of Terrorism in which victims “within a country are targeted by perpetrators with the same citizenship” as the victims. Seriously, what is it you guys don’t get, or are you, too, complicit? How long are you going to pretend, this isn't happening?
We ask the Taliban; to respect Basic Human rights, but our own Government can’t do the same, here in the United States of America.
If you know of someone who is Targeted, please don’t dismiss them. Gang Stalking/Workplace Mobbing are just Guises for Domestic Terrorism; so victims can be easily dismissed and discredited. I give you facts; based on over 12 years of evidence. Direct Energy Weapons are being used on US Citizens, also known as the “Havana Syndrome”. Please look up their definitions and educate yourself. As you can read, see and hear; our FBI, once again, is dropping the ball. I finish drafting this; we were buzzed by ATVs, flashing lights; it’s 2:46 in the afternoon. Then again, that was just a coincidence….
Now I wait for my dog, to be again Tortured, baited and retaliation; as Perpetrators drive and ride by; gloating, brandishing the American Flags.

After a 100 degree day of shooting the 20 then fresh NS heritage units, the good times continued into the night. Its hard to believe its already been 10 years.
PAN!C's new (and hopefully final) line-up. With the split of Tokyo Underground, I needed a new girl rock band. Cyndi was the lead singer in the original PAN!C, but I decided to go for a more mature band and added Simone and Renata. If 40 is the new 20, then 30 must be the new teens!
In the mid to late 1980s Leyland introduced a mid engine chassis, with support from its Danish associate company DAB. This was to compete with Volvo's Citybus chassis which was launched in 1982.
Thirty-two Lions were built for UK operators, with the Scottish Bus Group taking most (nineteen) and the balance (thirteen) going to Nottingham City Transport. The latter operator gained a further five Lions in 1989. These had been ordered by SBG, and they arrived in Nottingham after use by Chester City Transport.
The six Lion LDTL11/1R / Alexander CH49/37F built for Kelvin in 1987, were not delivered to that operator. Financial difficulties at Kelvin meant all six buses where stored at Alexander’s Coachworks in Falkirk for many months. The batch eventually went to Clydeside, although one was used by Leyland which demonstrated it to other operators.
The following notes (up to the mid 1990s only) give some more information about the "Kelvin" vehicles.

Ruby's attachment to me seems to have reached a whole new level in the past couple of days. Typically, she has let our petting sessions last up to 15 minutes or so. Even the most intense ones rarely go beyond 20. Then she flaps her ears, maybe does a slow stretch, and hops away.
But the other night she lay on the couch next to me for about THREE HOURS while I pet her constantly as I watched TV. I even stayed up an hour past my bedtime just to keep the affection flowing. Last night was similar, though it only about two hours and I went to bed on time. I don't know what's gotten into her, but I think I like it. She seems perfectly normal otherwise, so I'm sure it's not a sign of anything troubling.
