A steam locomotive and carriage ascending to Snowdon's summit. Single carriage trains run every 30 minutes, using a double rack and pinion railway which reaches a gradient of 1 in 7 in places. On the day I travelled, most of the trains were propelled by 320hp diesels (bought in the 1990s for £250,000 each).
The railway runs like an airline in that you book a specific compartment on a specific train. At the summit you get 30 minutes before descending on the same train and a seat may not be available on a later train. Not much time to clamber to last 50m to the summit along with the hoards of other trippers and certainly not enough time to use the new cafe up there. I also advise people to travel early or late. In the middle of the day, the trains are packed so tightly that it is near impossible to move one's arms to hold a camera out the window. We had the additional hazard of screaming hyperactive toddlers on the journey, made worse by their parents.
Tickets are £25 each but the view, it has to be said, is amazing. I've walked up and down Snowdon in the past but that takes a whole day (for me anyway).

+Haunted Series: The Lodge, Cloudcroft, New Mexico+
A staircase in The Lodge awash in purple-stained light... these are the haunting grounds of the red-haired ghost they call 'Rebecca'....
Full story of The Lodge here.
Two fine contemporary windows by Tom Denny were installed in the north east corner of Great Malvern Priory in 2004 to celebrate the Millennium. The two windows take inspiration from Psalm 36, verses which describe aspects of the nature of God.
The windows' broken lines and silvery tones subtly echo the ancient glass that survives elsewhere in the church, intentionally so since some even remains in the traceries and canopied heads of the main lights of both windows themselves and has been carefully incorporated into the design.
The imagery is subtle and layered, revealing itself gradually to the onlooker the closer one contemplates the work. The windows are fine examples of Denny's densely packed, detailed imagery and painterly style, overlain upon a rich use of acid-etching and plating layers of glass to create patches of richly varied colour.

Strangely industrial stairwell at this Catskills hotel. You could tell the hotel was added onto many times.

Even a further impression of my new series "dortmund at night". It belongs to the first picture "ardey's arch". To take a photo of this bridge was very difficult. I could not find any straight lines or symmetry.

19th May 2012 - Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee - her 60th year since ascending to the throne and the British Armed Services commemorated the event in style with a gathering at Windsor Castle - all 2,500 of them.
The event attended by HM the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, was opened by the earlier nine-ship Typhoon flypast and once the festivities had taken place and to close the event, at 12:25pm there followed a mass flypast by some 76 more aircraft drawn from the RAF, The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Royal Navy, the Army Air Corps and the Royal Marines comprised of Helicopters, Ground Attack aircraft, a VC-10 Tanker, a WWII Lancaster Bomber, Hercules Transports and Tucano and Hawk Trainers, the latter in two distinct formations (see later)all culminating in a final Diamond nine flown appropriately by The Red Arrows display team.
With the weather less than ideal and having moved up to the green at Pirbright - along with other spectators we awaited the remaining mass formations.
Following on from the rotary elements and still east of the main track with fast-jets and heavies to come behind, the BBMF's Avro Lancaster trails four of her Supermarine Spitfires stablemates - three with Rolls-Royce Merlins plus a Griffon powered example as 'Tail-end Charlie'

The final ascend of 250 feet on a unforgivable terrain. We literally walked on a landslide and everything that we stepped on was moving and was not sure of our next step.
If one step misplaces and the rock skids way either the guy in front goes down or the guy behind goes down or at the worst both or more people goes down.
