Alignments appear and pass in the Sagrada Familia, even in the gift store. I saw this one coming like a planetary conjunction as I moved along with the crowd in a gift shop.
Those of you that know me know I love Bandits....Milwaukee Road still in action decades after the end in '85. So, when a series of absolutely incredible events led me to G67 parked in Nashotah Siding, in a perfect location for photo ops, without a crew, and a solo Soo 4512 in proper position cab forward, I let the shutter start snapping. G67 sat there from around 17:00 to about 21:20, most of the time with me trackside, and I got a ton of great shots. I'll share the best ones here.
This shot is figuratively and literally planetary alignment for me in so many ways.
The new underground line between Washermanpet and Korukkupet readied by the Chennai Metro Rail Limited. This line included two station as part of Phase 1 extension to Wimco Nagar. The line will offer the residents of North Chennai neighbourhoods access to the transport system. It is expected to be ready in 20 months after contract are awarded.
2 kms of the line will run beneath the northern suburbs of New Washerman pet and Korukkupet. The alignment from Thyagaraya College to Korukkupet Junction have been formed up. Also, authorities have marked areas of potential impact of work on the buildings around proposed stations and tunnels.
According to sources, the silty clay soil will make it easy for boring machine to cut through. However, as the stations have to be built around the 2 km stretch, which is extremely congested, the underground stations will be tough. Phase I of the extension line will begin at Washermanpet underground station. This is part of the Airport - Washermanpet corridor. The tunnel for the line will begin near the Mint flyover. This will be bored under the railway line to Beach station.
Located at 2000 E. Kearney on the 1936 Bypass Route. By "Bypass," it meant to go around the earlier alignment through downtown along College Street. Later, Interstate 44 performed the ultimate "bypass" as it avoided Springfield alltogether.
Note: This would have been a photo of two white dots on a black background, but its actually two planets, Venus and Jupiter that ‘appear’ to be close together this week. I composed the shot with the planets peeking at us through the branches of a bare tree to make it a little more ‘interesting’. (Best i could come up with at the time based on where i was with my family).
This is actually what astronomer refer to as a planetary ‘Alignment’ or ‘Conjunction’.
We are looking at them ‘Across’ the solar system. They’re not actually next to each other.
Using a baseball field as an example, say you hit the ball out of the park and can take your time trotting around the bases as the crowd goes wild. As you start your jaunt to first base and glance to the left, across the baseball field, think of the pitcher’s mound as the Sun, the second baseman would be Venus and center fielder, Jupiter. The two planets just ‘appear’ to be close together based on your line-of-sight from where you are, but are actually very far apart and in different parts of the Solar System, or baseball field :—).
So, that is what we are seeing this week.
The four-track alignment at Rugeley Trent Valley with it's 'canopy' of overhead equipment presents a somewhat surreal setting: a Virgin 'Pendolino' hurries north, but it is the Freightliner Class 86s, Nos. 86607 & 86628, which dominate the scene as they approach the station on the Up Slow line with 4L92 1403 Ditton (O'Connor) - Felixstowe North Terminal on 9th April 2013. Joining the main line on the left is the Cannock Chase Line whilst on the right is the connection to the engineers sidings at Rugeley. Copyright John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
From lower left to upper right - Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon and Mars in pretty much a straight line. Mercury was just out of shot below Venus - not even the fisheye could get all five at once!
Day 208-365
In photography as in life, we can strive to create our own opportunities, but we need to keep our eyes open for opportunities we didn't even know existed.
I don’t put my poems in straight jackets. The words fall where and how they please, like Summer rain on a field of wild flowers. I don’t cram or corral or corner them, and so they trust me. I’m often wrong but I’m always honest.
I don’t care much for structure. Surely it’s important, but I love the creative artist more than the business they represent. I don’t dress up my words. If they come in from the garden with dirty fingernails and wild, untamed hair, I don’t put a pretty bonnet over them. If they’re too raw, you’ll have to cook them. I’m utterly comfortable with transparency.
Words uplift, but they can bring you down. Often without the careless person’s knowledge. Oh, that we are ever mindful of the words we choose, the message we convey, and communicate as the Love we are, uplifting one another. If there is anyone I’ve hurt, I’m sorry. If you feel misunderstood, tell me. If you think I’m terribly wrong, ask me to listen.
If Heaven is real, and we have all of eternity to live together, we’d do well to begin practicing such One-ness.

Era ancora notte quando ho scattato, era impossibile fare miracoli con la macchinetta, ma questo allineamento Venere-Luna-"Lampara" ha proprio attirato la mia attenzione, come gli sfortunati pesci che avranno seguito la luce della barca!

Jerusalem is certainly in the centre of all religious conflicts in the middle east. But it is also the only town I have seen where the four largest ancient religions (muslim, jewish, christian and armenian) coexist within a small area of the Old City.
Another old Wills cigarette card, this time showing the old fashioned way of correcting railway track alignment, no machines, no Hi-viz jackets, warning lamps or flags, just six men with iron bars and another man (a ganger) to guide them. The card reads:
Card No42, Railway Equipment
It may not be generally realised that a construction apparently so permanent and firm as a railway track is liable to move, but in some places rail creep does actually occur. The passage of trains along the rails tends to move them through the chairs in the same direction, and this creep occurs particularly on falling gradients and on curves. Anti-creep devices are therefore used to hold the rails back. When the track moves laterally the alignment has to be re-adjusted; in our picture men armed with bars may be seen levering or slewing the lines over, under the directions of a ganger.

The key images for the great alignment
This scheme is the last one and the final proof of my statements about what the Sistine Ceiling is really about.
Images on the left:
The great alignment: This painting clearly depicts an instruction about an alignment of subjects to be made. Plus that, it calls attention to some important thing hidden between legs.
The Mask: This detail is crucial for the understanding of the shape of the hands in the visual code. But the most important message is the declaring of a secret to be unveail.
Numbered images:
1) Drunkess of Noah / The two secret messages
From the The Starting Point (The Expulsion from Paradise), it's easy to reach this first disguised pearl. The sleepy pair of slaves, in front of Eve and Adam walking, creates the visual connection with the sleepy Noah. The sword touching the back of Adam's neck and the letter M written with the couple's legs are clues very easy to follow.
2) The Sacrifice of Noah / The Fusion. This painting is another instruction for the alignment. The finger of Noah reveals that there's something between the Prophet Daniel (Ardhanarishvara) and The Persian Sibyl.
3) Detail of The Expulsion from Paradise (The Starting Point).
4) Details of Nudes next to the Creation Of Eve.
5) Detail of Creation Of Adam.
6) Nude over the Prophet Daniel.
7) Detail on The Creation of Sun and Moon.
8) The Jesse spandrel. Notice her hand.
9) The Hymn Of The Pearl.
Português:
Este esquema é o último e a prova final de minhas declarações sobre o que o Teto da Sistina é realmente sobre.
Imagens à esquerda:
O grande alinhamento: Esta pintura descreve claramente uma instrução sobre o alinhamento de assuntos tratados nas pinturas. Além disso, ela chama a atenção para alguma coisa importante escondida entre as pernas.
A Máscara: Este detalhe é crucial para a compreensão da forma das mãos no código visual. Mas a mensagem mais importante é a óbvia declaração de um segredo a ser revelado.
Imagens numeradas:
1) Embriaguez de Noé / As duas mensagens secretas
A partir do Ponto de Partida (A Expulsão do ParaÃso), é fácil chegar a esta primeira pérola disfarçada. O sonolento par de escravos, em frente a Eva e Adão caminhando, cria a conexão visual com o sonolento Noé. A espada que toca a parte de trás do pescoço de Adão e a letra M escrita com as pernas do casal são pistas muito fáceis de seguir.
2) O SacrifÃcio de Noé / A Fusão. Esta pintura é outra instrução para o alinhamento. O dedo de Noé revela que há algo entre o Profeta Daniel (Ardhanarishvara) e a Sibila Pérsica.
3) Detalhe da Expulsão do ParaÃso (O Ponto de Partida).
4) Detalhes dos Nus junto à Criação de Eva.
5) Detalhe da Criação de Adão.
6) Nu sobre o Profeta Daniel.
7) Detalhe na Criação do Sol e da Lua.
8) O Arco de Jesse. Observe a mão dela.
9) O Hino da Pérola.
We put #09 on the rack with The Alignment Guy after last week's BIR track day. Verifying all is still well.
Thanks Jeff.

As a retired surveyor and sometimes target shooter this reminds me of a rifle sight. The entire Flight 93 National Memorial is developed along a line representing the flight path during the final moments of flight 93. For those who do not recall or were not aware, Flight 93 was hijacked on 9/11/2001 by terrorists who intended to crash the airplane into the Capitol building in Washington, DC. They were thwarted by the crew and passengers who became aware of the plot. The perpetrators aborted the mission and crashed the plane when they were confronted and attacked by the crew and passengers in a desperate battle. The large boulder marks the point of impact which left a crater. The airplane vaporized on impact leaving a wide debris field. The white walls memorialize the passengers and crew and align the view of the flight path. This photo was taken from a viewing platform at the visitor center of the memorial. To the left of the white marble walls is a wide viewing plaza where crowds can gather. While it is not apparent from this view, the white marble walls inscribed with the victims names are several hundred feet (60 m) in length and approximately 10 feet (3m) tall. A portion of the wall is obscured by the grassy hill.
