The existence of 3rd class travel was an eye opener to me when i visited Sri Lanka recently. To be honest there wasn't much difference between 3rd and 2nd nor 1st on some trains.
These old carriages were built in Romania in the 1940s and are very basic. The ride is incredible and you feel that the carriage could bounce off the track at any time. You get used to the noise of metal on metal as the suspension struggles to separate the carriage from the bogies.
Sri Lanka is a colourful country. This lady looks for her seat on this service heading north which is listed as an Office Train. The time was 1545ish and the location Colombo Fort station. Normally you would expect the train to be full to bursting with 4 or 5 passengers hanging out of each door.
...è arrivato. Anche a casa mia.
Nessun segno o fermento di caduta fino a tre giorni fa. Gli ultimi scampoli di estate resistevano alle giornate di ottobre. Poi all'improvviso i primi colori.
ll verde così ha sentenziato: "Basta!"... però mi chiedo perchè quest'anno si sia stancato così tardi di stare al mondo.
Be' quisquilie! Per il rosso, il giallo e l'arancio è arrivato il momento di svolazzare qua e là a ritmo di walzer.
E nell'aria impetuosa di questo lunedì sento il profumo dei colori, in casa mia.
E' arrivata la stagione del trapasso.
Sebastian Stan should have won best actor for The Apprentice, all you fucking cowards at The Academy. He nailed his performance of the young Trump so well that I had to watch the whole damn movie through my fingers.
(Yeah I originally had a different blurb for this but I have The Oscars on in the background and just got super mad.)

Back to school pictures are in order today. The remaining summer fun will now have to be experienced in the evenings and weekends. I was brave saying goodbye to my 3rd grader this morning, we met her teacher last night and I am expecting a great year! I'm looking forward to volunteering and getting involved.

Using my Nikon d3500, I took the 3rd consecutive 100 images of this lightning storm (~25x8s used) to see if I could develop the best stacking from the best lightning discharges. The final image turned out so-so. As conditions darkened after sunset, light scattered onto clouds by lightning becomes very problematic. There are techniques to improve on this stacking but it requires considerable post-processing to achieve.
Note limited cloud to ground strikes. Two sets of crawlers at top left criss-crossed each other within 3 minutes.
Storm was 14 to 25 miles distant.

My first trip abroad, in the Dolomites, in north Italy, in September 2016, It was moonlit and mostly cloudy. And those six cold nights it was difficult to photograph the beautiful landscapes with our galaxy and its constellations. However, one of those nights, I made a little effort in one of these landscapes, since the sky seemed to be a little clear before the moonrise. So in Misurina lake, even with light pollution and if I remember correctly, at moonrise, I attempted to take a astrophotography and somehow, I vindicated by the result you see in the photo. The galaxy appeared a little over the peaks (whose name I still could not find) :/ and for my good luck, its reflection on the lake, made the image a little more interesting!
I hope you like it!
This fence is one minute from the main street, and from it, we look down some steep embankment to a little stream.
While Miss Woolly is content to saunter around up on the high ground with me, Pip slips straight under, to race down to the water's edge, eager to persuade any sunbaking water dragons that they'd like a swim, LoL ;)
It's only a little bit of parkland, but being so close to home, we do drop in quite often, as it has a surprising amount of photo opportunities.
Parrots, lizzies, cows, greenery, interesting old farm gate, the girls mooching around, of course ... and the angle of late afternoon light here can be wonderful to play with too.
But this fence ! It really had me stumped.
Been trying to get a nice pic of it for months, to show how high the paddock grasses were caught up in the wire from the last flood.
We had an unseasonal Autumn deluge back in about last April, so you can imagine how much was caught up on it back then.
These are the 2nd & 3rd wires off the ground, about hip high on me.
Which may not mean much until I tell you that we are not down in a small gully here, but out in open country, surrounded by expansive paddocks, which all go under water.
But before that can happen, beyond the fence is a very deep drop of about 30 - 40 feet down to the stream, and the same in width, so that all has to fill up first.
The surge of run off from the nearby mountains was strong enough to take a huge chunk of the emabankment with it this time, and completely wash it away, leaving a black clay cliff face and a few tall gums still standing wonky down at the water's edge, 20 ft from where they originally grew.
I was playing around with more settings, capturing the backlit grasses, so decided to try it out on the fence - one more go, I said - and bingo, finally scored one I liked.
Taken with macro setting, for shooting with a macro converter, but used zoom lens instead.
sooc..
HFF !
As the Sun went down this afternoon, some fog heavy with smoke from somewhere rolled in and made for an interesting sunset.
A cold but bright day today. Lachlan is off to Scout Camp, Hamish is off for a sleep over and I have just quoted for a big commission.
