Empty wine bottle and brown paper bag rubbish left along King Street Wharf on Sydney's Darling Harbour.

The airock closed with a hiss as the pumps sealed them in. The place was a mess, and what should have been a bustling thoroughfare was deathly quiet, save for the creaking and hissing of ravaged ducting. Exhaust gasses slowly seeped into the thin atmosphere. Chambers tried to look confident as Bucco's searchlight scanned ahead, shadows leaping from the pipework, tracing out their slender shapes against their own bulky forms. Neither marine could remember the engineers ordering an extra manhole.
The motion detector blinked ominously as a cold sweat trickled down thier backs. Whatever had decided to redecorate... had to come play.

On one of her Greenock Visits
Quite surprisingly for such a big famous visitor to Greenock not a lot of people were mulling around when I pictured her.
The 148,000grt Cunarder IMO 9241061 seemed to be getting some attention just under the port bridge wing area with the cherrypicker arm raised high before she left port for her evening sail south

Scanning catchup finally completed. Negatives have been gathering dust! North Yorkshire as seen by my Soviet 1950's Moskva 2 folding medium format camera monstrosity. Negs are 6x9cm scanned using xsane software in Linux. Involved DIY kitchen sink witchcraft developing shenanigans. Used Czech Fomapan B&W 100 film developed in exhausted chemicals! These are unedited scans as from 2480 Epson Scanner. Not bad for a beat up 1950's worn out camera. Will get them off my doorstop computer asap to a mobile android device for some proper editing as snapseed is for me really the only proper photo editor of any use nowadays. Everything else is so complicated!

SD40-2 3319 leads an 8-unit lashup, all SD40-2s, as it leads a train that originated in Albina Yard. It's battling a stiff grade up the Graham Line, Units three and seven have bad turbos, as evidenced by the smoke pouring out of the stacks. May 3, 1987. © 2016 Peter Ehrlich
Adding to my album of photos taken with a Takumar 55mm f2.2, early preset version. Taken on a lovely bright day...but nearly directly into the sun.

Somehow this photo was deleted from my photostream - so sorry to have lost all your lovely comments. Turns out the quote was entirely suitable on several levels!
Canadian Pacific SD40-2 No. 6055 works a ballast train at Yahk, British Columbia on May 5, 2018. No. 6055 was built in December 1984 and was among the last SD40-2s ever purchased by the CP. Today, the locomotive is still sporting its mutlimark and is one of only a handful of SD40-2s still working on CP.

The brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It has also been called the cock o' the north and the mountain finch.
The brambling is similar in size and shape to a common chaffinch. Breeding-plumaged male bramblings are very distinctive, with a black head, dark upperparts, orange breast and white belly. Females and younger birds are less distinct, and more similar in appearance to some chaffinches. In all plumages, however, bramblings differs from chaffinches in a number of features:
brambling has a white rump whereas that of chaffinch is grey-green;
the breast is orange, contrasting with a white belly on brambling, whereas on chaffinch the underparts of more uniformly coloured (pink or buff);
brambling's scapular feathers are orange, whereas chaffinch's are grey or grey-brown;
the flanks are dark-spotted on brambling, plain on chaffinch;
bramblings lack the white outer tail feathers of chaffinch.
An additional difference for all plumages except breeding-plumaged males is the bill colour - yellow in brambling, dull pinkish in chaffinch (breeding-plumaged male bramblings have black bills, chaffinches in the corresponding plumage have grey bills).

A former Reading GP39-2 idles the morning away in Hanover PA on January 5, 2023. The 48 year old was manufactured in December 1974 for the Reading Lines as their 3411. It later went to the Delaware & Hudson being renumbered to 7411, and then to CSXT where it was renumbered to 4302.

Leyland Marathon 2 VPE441S was originally a demonstrator for Wadham-Stringer at Croydon. Subsequently purchased by Adams-Bristow Ltd for specialist low-loader/abnormal load work, mainly involving marine craft.
Purchased a short time before the company's demise, this vehicle was moved to an undercover storage location in the early 1990's and had remained there until recently, when it was started-up and made able to move under its own power. Seeing daylight for the first time in many years, it was washed-off and then returned to the shed to await a new owner, for whom restoration will be a relatively easy task.
A train being loaded with dirt at the Osthafen. Where will it end up? A motorway, a bridge approach, some large building? Fasciniating to see all this soil, rubles and dirt economy.
