I work at a university, so I get a little bit longer holiday break than most working people. Our office is closing at 4:00 today, and I don't have to be back until January 2nd.
Maybe now I'll get a chance to photograph something other than the sunrises I see on my way to work and the sunsets I see on my way home from work. :-)
Incidentally, the shot above was taken on my way into work last week.

Autumn colour has started to come through above Spark Bridge in the Crake Valley of the South Lakes. It was a bright day an the perfect excuse for a short afternoon wander up the valley sides.

France is the birthplace of the tram-renaissance that has been sweeping around Europe since 1990. One of the best examples of the modern tram systems that have been build since then is located in Strasbourg.
Paid a visit to Barrow Hill Roundhose (2nd March 2024) and managed this "selfie" of yours truly in the driver’s seat of a Deltic. A couple of things I noticed was how non ergonomic it all seemed and how poor the forward view actually is. If I raise the seat any higher to improve the view, I was bumping my head on the ceiling, lower the seat and the forward view gets even worse. But I suppose it was a vast improvement in comfort etc to a Gresley Pacific.
I have actually had a cab ride on a Deltic on the main line. April 1972 myself and a couple of friends had a guided tour of Haymarket MPD before heading south and home after a week touring Scotland. Our "guide" turned out to be the driver of our train south from Edinburgh to Grantham and he gave us "a lift" from Haymarket MPD into Waverley on the train locomotive, Deltic D9019, those were the days. And even at 20mph they are noisy with those two eighteen cylinder Napier Deltic engines thumping away the other side of the bulkhead.
This set is named after Edouard Lock (hope I wrote it correct) danse company La La La Human Steps and was inspired by their ballet Amelia (on YouTube).
After bagging 134, 132, 745 and T27 up north without having to venture too far, I figured that was it for the S Line for the day. Temps were already in the 90's and that didn't help either. Pulling back into Newport I once again caught up with the leader of the pack, 134, due to the "new" speed limit of 25mph on the line. It makes catching them easier but at the same time it is agonizing to see this stuff moving that slow. I figured what the hell, I will follow them down to Asheville. I let 134 go (because of the lack of desire to shoot the yellow thing on the point) and waited 30 minutes for 132 to show. I wasn't overly happy with the shot I got of him here at the bridge on Monday so I tried again with this one.

The afternoon storms are starting to build off to the Northeast as coal loads arrive into Manhattan.
This was my last night in Olympic National Park. I was fortunate enough to peep over Kurt Budligers shoulder on this adventure and man can that guy take a photo… His shot is better than mine for sure, but I was happy enough to catch the sunstar by accident. I took 151 photos waiting for it to pop out the other side but it never did. I hadn’t realized that I caught it in my first two shots before the sun sank behind the rocks, and I liked the composition too much to try and alter it for the sunstar.
I can’t wait to shoot with this guy again…
In the end this was 4 exposures blended together. One for the sky, one for the reflection, one for the warm sand ripples and one for the sunstar.
