As I was killing time earlier today (bad idea, I'm already backed up in academic and photographic queues and my future is in general disarray) I made a blank grey document, and then started randomly adding things to it. I wanted to play around with some text and couldn't think of anything interesting to write, but then I remembered the moon. I love moon. This is // Moon.
The truck had 4-wheel drive, but sunk into wet sod. In full disclosure, less than 2 weeks before, I had to be pulled out in front of a feeding pen.
As we were fishing last week, all these buzzards were in the tree behind us, and it was such a calm day, the reflections were awesome....Have a great day ya'll...
As temperatures rise slightly only patches of snow lie where there were deep drifts a few days earlier high on Eyam Moor, as fleeting glimpses of sunlight roll across the landscape.
...... and with its whorls and arches, as unique as any fingerprint. My natural stone paperweight was found by my father beside a creek, kept on his desk and now sits on mine. Such a perfect fit in my palm, this wonderful old tactile stone gives me pleasure and a reminder of my brief existence.
For Macro Mondays theme, "Oldest object you can find".
As the sunsets
I realize how quickly time passes by
I think of all the things I could have done
and all the things I wish I had done...

A re-edit of an image I posted earlier where I have cropped and flipped the image but didn't realise that it would replace the original image on Flickr. I thought it would be added as an additional image.

Allora allora allora.Platone dice che amiamo il bello.In effetti dicono che anche l'occhio vuole la sua parte.Io sono mezza ciecata per cui,quel che vedo vedo e va bene così.Cioè già la vita ci schiaffeggia non poco,se ci mettiamo a selezionare è la fine.Oggi io e Marianna siamo giunte alla conclusione che tutti sono più belli quando sorridono,a parte la gente come me,o la Cate,o la Ambra,a cui mister gargarozz in 'sti momenti fa compagnia.Anyway,c'è bellezza anche in noi.Nella mia testa conservo tanti di quei sorrisi,i momenti migliori.Per esempio se fa freddo la mattina,se sono in bici e piglio una buca gigante e mi sembra di finire in un safari in Nepal e in realtà sono solo 'ste strade di merda mi viene un sorriso gigante perchè vedo gli operai all'angolo che si fanno certe ghignate e mi viene voglia di balzare in allegria e sedermi con loro attorno al barattolo che fiammeggia.
As the sun dipped towards London's horizon we were treated to this wonderful warm light. The building in More London and on the southbank around London Bridge are already blocking the sunlight as can be seen on the furthest towers. The arrival of the red London double decker bus onto the bridge just adds to the scene.
Cream City originally opened in the late 1890s as Consumer City in the same proximity as it is now. Consumer City made milk and other dairy products which were shipped to the north by covered wagon. The Whitaker family owned the dairy manufacturing business, and through its evolution the name changed to Cream City. In 1948, the building that housed Cream City at that time burned down. A new building was constructed and completed in 1950 and is the same building which stands today. At the time of the new construction, a 3-ton neon sign was erected on top of the building proving to be a tourist attraction along Highway 70. The neon sign has been featured in several magazines and was named one of the top 100 neon signs in the country by American Road Magazine. However, in 1986, a prominent ice cream company purchased Cream City Ice Cream to shut it down as its production became a major competitor. After this, the existing building housed many other businesses including a café, an accounting office, a T-shirt shop, and even living quarters. However, the 3-ton sign and its neon magnetism attracted passer-bys to mainly ice cream. The structure became what it was meant to be again in 2011 when Cream City Ice Cream and Coffee House opened the doors to the public once again as an ice cream shop. The downtown area has officially been titled the "Cream City Historic District" as displayed by the city of Cookeville on designated signage. And, the old 1930s Cream City Ice Cream "Take some home today" sign that was originally displayed on the outside of the building still proudly hangs inside the store today.

Excerpt from barcelonatorisme.com:
City Hall, also known as the Casa de la Ciutat, stands on one side of the Plaça Sant Jaume, right in the middle of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and in front of the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya. The neoclassical façade conceals Gothic gems such as the historic Great Hall, or Saló de Cent, designed by Pere Llobet and built in the 14th century. There is a tourist office on the ground floor of the building.
In the ancient Roman city of Barcelona, the Plaça Sant Jaume was the site of the Forum, the meeting place and stage for political debate. It could be said that the square continues to fulfil the same role today, as it is flanked by Barcelona's two political powerhouses: Barcelona City Hall and the seat of the Catalan government, the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Historically speaking, the city's first form of government was the Consell de Cent, or Council of the One Hundred, which used to meet in the Great Hall, the Saló de Cent, from 1373 until it was dissolved in 1714. This magnificent Gothic-style chamber is included on the Barcelona City Hall tour. Other highlights include the Saló de Cròniques, or Hall of Chronicles, decorated with murals by Josep Maria Sert (1928) which change perspective depending on the angle you look at them from. The City Hall's lobby and Gothic staircase are a veritable art gallery with sculptures by artists including Gargallo, Llimona, Navarro, Subirachs, Marès, Miró and Clarà.
The statues of King Jaume I (the founder of the Council of the One Hundred) and Joan Fiveller (a 15th-century Barcelona freeman and member of the Council) in the vaulted niches on Barcelona City Hall's main façade were sculpted by Josep Bover (1847). The ceiling of the tourist information office on the ground floor features The Four Seasons, painted by Albert Ràfols Casamada in 1982.
The Atrium is located on the ground floor and is easily accessible from Jubilee Street, Queen Victoria Street and Des Voeux Road Central.
It will provide not less than 700㎡ of public open space and is landscaped for passive recreation and leisure uses.
An open-plan design was proposed to serve as a central focal gathering place as well as a lively and flexible space for a wide range of cultural and leisure activities, exhibitions and public events.
位於地下的中庭將提供不少於700平方米的公眾休憩空間，作綠化等靜態康樂用途。中庭位置方便易達，連接租庇利街、域多利皇后街和德輔道中均十分方便，開放式設計有利於作為一個生動、靈活的聚會地點，作多種如展覽等文化和休閒活動。

As the moon rose tonight it was the closest to the earth it has been since the year I was born (1948)
It stays light very late in midsummer, and on a clear night, as long as you're away from artificial lighting, it's possible to see for a long time after sunset (9.40pm)
This was taken at 11pm. It wan't as light as this, although still bright enough to get to this point without torchlight. In the sky the stars are starting to appear
As some of these older cars begin to age out I try to document the ones that still have paint left on them. Here's a former NdeM hopper at KCS Knoche Yard.

As I told in this post: flic.kr/p/2o59e2V I headed to Ayer right after work on Friday in hopes of catching that M427 with the epic EMD consist that was all the rage coming down from Rigby on Thursday.
After getting that fabulous and classic Pan Am shot I heard that an EDPO freight was somewhere around Gardner headed eastbound so I went west to intercept. I just missed them out by Wachusett station so headed over to North Leominster after hearing they'd be holding out of the station due to needing to walk by some high wide loads on the head end (plate steel on flats headed to Bath Iron Works on the Rockland Branch).
Here they are holding out just east of the station with a four unit consist of Pan Am C40-8s in perfect light, but naturally the two nicely painted Pan Am blue units were trailing...Strike 3!
Here is MEC 7595 starting to pull just west of the station on Main 1 at about MP 325.1 / MP 45.1 on Pan Am's Freight Main / MBTA Keolis Fitchburg Route Main as measured from Mattawamkeag and North Station respectively. Conductor Mark Ziko is on the ground to eyeball the wide loads to ensure they clear the high level platform that has been folded up to permit their passage.

As daylight gently fades, the enchanting city of Paris takes on a captivating allure. The soft hues of twilight embrace the iconic landmark of the Eiffel Tower, casting a mesmerizing glow upon the city's romantic streets and buildings.
As UP 4014 was backing their train into the station an empty coal train fronted by KCS 4828 rolled through the area.
As a result of the Polish-Swedish War 1600 to 1629, during which the Kokenhusen castle again was being fiercely fought over, Livonia belonged to the Swedish crown. Between 1656 and 1661 Russian troops invaded the region again, afterwards the Swedish ruled again till 1700.
In the park, descending from Janis hillock (Jāņu kalns) down the path running along the river Pērse bank you will reach the stone crosses and cast iron cannons of the Swedish times.
Alvin and the Chipmunks (Harris's antelope squirrel ) are Kung Fu fighting and moving fast as lightning in Golden Valley, Arizona,
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
For any of you that are unfamiliar with Alvin and the Chipmunks here are the chipmunks singing Kung Fu Fighting and a few cute pictures of their movies. My favorite pictures are the first one and the last one.

I can’t hear your voice, do I have a choice?
you’re sinking below, i’m using my force
I’m hoping with chance, you might take this dance
You’re my number one guy
Today was one of days where it was so beautifully warm and sunny outside that being inside felt oppressive. By the time I made it out from work the clouds had collected and I felt tired and robbed. Still, grey clouds do give that lovely empty sky look so it wasn't all bad!
Hope everyone else had a good day : )
Update! Omgosh mine got even better.. thank you so much *TruthHurts for your lovely testimonial!!! x
