Let me just start by saying that I am now on Instagram and will hopefully be posting there as well as here more often in the near future. I will probably post there first and slightly more often as I would like to give photos here a bit more thought as well as a good description and title so if you want to follow me here is the link to my profile: instagram.com/doctorcholive/
The lunar eclipse moonrise here in LA was at 6:40 Sunday night which wasn't too bad except I had a family party to go to that day at 2:00. I figured if I left the party at 6:00 I would have enough time to go find a good spot and set up my gear in time to catch the moon rising over downtown. At 6:00 I said goodbye to everyone and started driving towards West LA to try and find a spot where I could get a picture of the moon behind the LA skyline, however traffic was heavier than I had anticipated and come 6:40 I still didn’t have a spot to set up my camera. After a little more searching I was able to find a multi-story parking garage in Koreatown so I got to the top and was able to set up my tripod and camera just in time to see the moon rising over the US Bank Tower. By around 7:00 I had gotten the camera fully dialed in and I was trying to get as many pictures as I could because I could see some clouds starting to move in. This was one of the last photos I was able to take before the moon moved completely behind the clouds at around 7:40.
"Jamais vu" is derived from the French language and translates into "never seen." It is essentially the opposite of Déjà vu, where you recognize the situation in some fashion, but nonetheless it all feels very unfamiliar. This is what watching the lunar eclipse felt like for me. I've watched the moon countless times and I see it almost every night, but knowing that I was seeing a shadow cast by our own planet onto a piece of rock 238,900 miles away made it all feel very different. The only other time I've had a slightly similar feeling was the first time I was able to see the Milky Way with my own eyes(which I have also uploaded a picture from). It truly gives you a sense of place and it was an absolutely amazing experience.

It will be apparent to anyone who knows the area that I must have been trespassing on railway property to take this picture and most of the others in this area (although I never ventured onto the track). I was never once reprimanded for this - but whether this was because nobody saw me or because nobody was bothered I do not know.

Southern Californa, Arizona and Baja and Sonora Mexico all felt a powerful earthquake at 3:40 Sunday afternoon. I felt the house start to shake and I knew right away it was an earthquake. It was not the violent pounding type just a shaking and movement like being on a boat maybe combined with some shaking (multiple type of waves?). Anyway, at first I froze not knowing if it would suddenly get worse or what. . . then I grabbed my phone started video recording as I walked out the door. I could see a car rolling back and forth in the parking spot and the condo building continued to shake for roughly 30 seconds.
It was one of the biggest and longest quakes I ever felt or at least in a very long time. My windchimes were ringing undoubtedly due to the building shaking. Candace called me right away from her mothers and said the Chandeliers were still swinging. Online I heard from Malanie (moodymal) right away on facebook and she said she felt it in Phoenix AZ. Dillon M. Called me soon after and he said he felt it big time in Hemet. I called Araceli and Miguel by phone right away, but I got no answer.
The news said it was a 6.9 centered in Baja, Mexico, about halfway between Mexicali and San Felipe. That area is remote desert mostly. But the city of Mexicali is big and only about 15 miles away so I'm anxious to hear from our Flickr friends in Mexicali like A&M, Yadyra, etc. to see if all are ok and to hear what they felt.
I asked Simon M. via Text msg (sms) if he felt the quake, he said " What time was it at?" I said 3:40, he said and I quote: " Wow, we were walking at Torrey Pines beach, resting next to a bluff. First a piece of rock fell down and we moved, then the rest of the bluff followed. . . could have been bad. . . Must have been the earthquake." So Simon's report was the closest report to damge / close call that have heard so far.
I Posted my video to YouTube, although nothing dramatic, it was very timely and did capture the moment, within seconds it seemed like the views cam pouring in. And the views are over 300 already with a dozen comments.

Looking perfectly healthy, this was 31326 on 31st May 1981 - the day it was withdrawn from operating stock !
It is seen at March South Jn heading west on the 13.40 (Sunday) Norwich to Birmingham New Street. It had been a March based engine since 1968 having previously been at Norwich. As D5861 it was the penultimate 31 to enter traffic in October 1962.
Far from being the end though it survived a sojourn at Swindon Works - the deathbed of so many locos at this time - to eventually become 31970 at Derby RTC and according to Harris was not dismantled until March 1997.

Have you ever heard of a descanso? Well you've most certainly seen them if you've driven on a road for any length of time. It's the Spanish word for roadside memorials. It's kind of a quick way of expressing the grief family and friends feel for a lifetime but said in a manner equal to the swiftness of the way most people died in these vehicle accidents. This one's for Dale Dyk, 50, who crashed his Harley-Davidson into pedestrian Jaison Enriquez, 40, Sunday on Alii Drive. www.westhawaiitoday.com/articles/2010/01/11/local/local03...

Greetland signal box located by the Down Main line standing on the remains of the Down platform at Greetland railway station. 14:40, Sunday 22nd July 1984
Greetland No2 signal box was a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company type 13 design fitted with a 60 lever Railway Executive Committee frame that opened in 1941 replacing an 1874 built E.S. Yardley type 2 design signal box located alongside with signal box's steps. The lever frame was reduced to 55 levers at some time. A British Railways North Eastern Region individual function switch was scheduled to be commissioned on 19th December 1965 controlling emergency replacement of R31/32 signal but the resignalling was postponed and carried out on 6th February 1966. A further individual function switch was commissioned on 21st August 1966 controlling emergency replacement of R25 signal. The signal box was was renamed Greetland on 25th September 1966 after the closure of Greetland No1 signal box. A third individual function switch controlling emergency replacement of G706 signal was commissioned on 3rd April 2000. The signal box closed on 27th July 2009 when signalling passed to a Tew Engineering Limited SM48 entrance-exit signalling panel commissioned in a relay room built in anticipation of the signalling passing to Healey Mills signal box on 8th August 2009. The lever frame was dismantled in September 2009 and moved to the Stainmore Railway Company, and the signal box was demolished on 8th November 2009
The signal box carries a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design nameboard with the letters No2 removed
It is said that the signal box was built as the previous signal box, a three storey building was a landmark to German aircraft during World War 2. But that seems odd as Wainwright Tower stands 275 feet tall above King Cross which is over 400 feet above Greetland and was a much better landmark for a marauding aircraft
