Experienced on the Vancouver SkyTrain, British Columbia
SkyTrain is the longest rapid train system in Canada and the longest fully automated driverless system in the world so far.
My forever home
The forest surrounds me.
It holds me in its green leafy embrace.
It called me here away from sand and sun.
Ancient mountains called me home.
A powerful vortex opens here
Into a doorway to another dimension,
Mysterious and Magical,
Into a new time and space.
Clocks accelerate
As kindred spirits and I
Dance on the currents
Of a new Universal existence.
Did synchronicity, serendipity, or synergy
Draw us to this land of promise
To live in a State of mind:
"To be, rather than to seem"?
I live at an apogee of flux
encompassing creativity and spirituality.
My heart, mind, and being
Resonate with this land.
A mystical doorway opens
Into another dimension
Of my ever-changing
Universe, my forever home.

This one, along with the two immediately on top, deserves a few words. The boreal forest is prone to forest fires, a natural cycle which with climate change is likely to accelerate as evidenced by the forest acreage that was lost in Québec in the early Spring of 2023. This one and the previous two are about forest fires that took place around 2013, showing the impact of the passage of time on the regeneration process.
Found a great corner on a motorway here in Berlin, this ridge over the dip made for an interesting red line LE. It many attempts to get it right and is often the most challenging in respects to photography, as it's pure chance and of course one can never get the time back. Luckily enough in cities there is seldom any lack of traffic.
Much appreciation to my followers both new and old, not far from the big 500; also I appreciate all comments, faves, criticisms and feedback and so as always, thank you! :)
From the Stirrups and Smiles Rodeo. It's a very fast moving sport. I don't know how they stay on the horse. Maybe some velcro between the saddle on the rider?
[CZ] Panorama hradu "Rokštejn" - jeden z nejvíce zdokumentovaných hradů na moravě. Možná i proto, že hrozí zatopení místa díky budoucí přehradě (zatím to není jisté). Nicméně toto urychluje archeologický výzkum a poznatky ohledně tohoto hradu.
[EN] - Panorama of the castle "Rokštejn" - one of the most documented castles in Moravia. Perhaps because the site is in danger of being flooded due to a future dam (it is not certain yet). However, this accelerates the archaeological research and knowledge about this castle.

The Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD) is a collaborative biomedical engineering centre accelerating the translation and commercialisation of research. This includes the delivery of much-needed, cutting-edge medical and healthcare solutions with a focus on medtech, biotech and digital health.
The ACMD brings together clinicians, major universities, leading research institutions, and innovative healthcare companies to develop novel technologies and drive the health system’s transformation through research, collaboration and education.
The ACMD is co-located at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, expanding opportunities for clinician-led research. State-of-the-art equipment, laboratories and facilities combined with strong affiliations with universities foster a thriving biomedical engineering ecosystem.
The building makes an outstanding contribution to this corner of inner Melbourne.
221130 descends the Camp Hill line towards Bordesley Junction with 1S39 Plymouth to Edinburgh as 66780 sets back half of the consist into the Cemex Sidings at Small Heath while 172221 accelerates away from the city with 2C14 Foregate Street to Dorridge.
February 2nd 2019 yielded a wonderful combination of circumstances. A superb winter's day and a unique locomotive pairing of "Mayflower" and "British India Line" with the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express. Here the train is accelerating past Birkett Common after a hold up at Kirkby Stephen. There was some nervousness about whether the train would arrive before the line was overwhelmed by the advancing shadows, but all was well. It's hard to believe that there are 50 or more people lined up behind the foreground wall! Good to see many old friends and acquaintances today.
This made me laugh out loud. Walking around I came across an unusual sound. It was the sound of a bunch of crickets. I thought it unusual because the sound was coming from above. I back tracked several steps and found this Mockingbird doing the sound effects. I was surprised how realistic these sounds appeared. Then he began making sounds of a motorcycle switching gears while accelerating. He was doing the motorcycle thing when I snapped this shot. I love this bird. 8 ))
GLC ONTN accelerates south through North Star with a large pickup from ZFS Ithaca and two SD35s. In its time the North Star elevator would have been a major complex and an important customer for the Annie. However it has since traded these roles to the massive ZFS facility just north of here for its own retirement.
The railroad here has also changed significantly over the years as evidenced by this Garland McKee photo taken 45 years ago: www.flickr.com/photos/99000270@N02/51425053649/in/photoli...
Despite this, change is once again imminent as the Watco takeover of GLC is set to flip this operation on its head. Get your photos while you can...
C-GAGE, a Cessna 441 Conquest II, screaming down runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario. It was returning to its home base at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.

RUPO accelerates to 25 after clearing the yard limits of Leeds Jct. B&M 327 leads LTEX 6528 and MEC 310 and about 50 cars.
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction.

Subway station in Essen, Germany. A little photoshopping to get a nice effect.
An A-B pair of ex-Milwaukee Road E9s accelerate the North Coast Hiawatha past the Kopper's Coke plant in St. Paul on December 16, 1973 - the first year I had a drivers license. The rails to the right and the old Midway Stadium in the background are long gone, but the rails the train is on remain as does the overpass I shot this from.
50007 and 50049 growl towards Beattock Summit at Harthope with Pathfinder’s “Grampian Highlander”, 1Z72 0605 Taunton-Aberdeen. The train was running some 25 minutes early at this point having failed to make the planned recess in Beattock loop and I only just reached this spot in time.

LMS Royal Scot 46100 'Royal Scot' accelerates away from a signal stop at Leamington Spa with the Saphos Trains 1Z60 06:40 Kidderminster Severn Valley Railway to Bristol Temple Meads 'Great Western Envoy' on 6th October 2021
Whilst production was underway of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, my husband worked at their Woking site.
He has this Limited Edition model as a memory of his time there and was there at the time of their 1000 production.
Taken from the accompanying information:
'The carbon fibre Gran Turismo body design and the classical styling elements from the legendary SLR racing cars of the 1950s are blended with the sophisticated design of both the latest Mercedes-Benz passenger car models and of the modern-day Silver Arrows race cars. With its high performance 5.5 litre, V8 supercharged engine, this dynamic machine can accelerate to 52mph in 38 seconds, reach 180mph in just 28.8 seconds and to on to a top speed of 207mph. Taking much of its aerodynamic design and cutting edge technology from Formula One the SLR is one of the fastest road-going sports cars.'
With the sun low in the western sky and five BNSF unit throwing up some exhaust as this eastbound Provo-Denver accelerates out of Yarmony, it was time for a nice black and white reflection shot!

Having been held and rather slow through Aldridge, 88005 Minerva and 68009 Titian get going past Lindrosa Road foot crossing with 4S45 Daventry to Mossend.
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!
Welp here it is!
The past week has been a bucketload of fun.
I had to research these guys, come up with my own ideas, and put them into lego form!
There is exactly 26 figures in this lineup, and if I had one more, I probably wouldn't have been able to include it.

Tell me which is your fave and why!
I might have some action shots coming, or even some edits, so look out for those.
Finally, story time.
I took the pano yesterday, and it looked freaking stellar, not gonna lie. But then, after I had toppled down the figs, I realized I had forgotten to put ACCELERATED MAN in! So then I had to reset all 26 figs up, and retake the pano. Oy!
Thanks for reading and following me on my flash week journey!
