I got to thinking about this as alternative versions like Schrodiger's cat so we have here the final version, just below center while all the other possible versions drift off like smoke. I recall some physicist using an expression like "the collapse of the alternative" so I have borrowed that. If it's your expression send me a letter because I haven't had a letter from a physicist since I did graphics for the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois. There is, by the way, a nasty green spot in the middle, but I haven't found an adequate substitute for it.
Ouzo, salami, fried bread and cheese and some pieces of schnitzel was my mother's surprise to enjoy the sunny new year's day.
66741 heads a diverted 6S45 North Blyth to Fort William loaded Alumina working through a deserted Wylam station, on the 23rd October 2021. Although the ECML was shut for several weekends in September and October I believe this was the only occasion that the Fort William 'Alcans' Saturday working operated via the Tyne Valley line during this period.

This is in the May issue. I shoot these three photos for a feature.

This was an amazing adventure of these shots. AP approached me to set up the shoots with Nick (HTL) and Dave (EA), I was given a 1 week deadline and could plan them whenever. I then got thrown in the TDWP shoot with the same deadline. I decided to do them all within 24 hours.
Here's how I did it. Emily and I left Akron, Ohio and drove straight to Lima, Ohio - this is where Nick lives, I've known him for sometime now and he said we could come shoot and then stay there tonight. Dave gave me a hand out there. We shot that night and just hung out. 7:00am the next morning, we woke up and traveled to Detroit, Michigan to begin the shoot with Dave of EA, I gotta' give out a bit shoutout to Jesse Speelman for letting me use his studio space. After that shoot, I drove to Cleveland to shoot TDWP at the House of Blues.
It took about 19 hours from start to finish and was one of the best weekends ever. I want to thank Emily, Dave and Jesse for all of the help!

"Life In A Northern Town"
"A Salvation Army Band played
And Children drunk lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away"

I saw a shot of this from another of my contacts, Simon, and it is what drew me to the location. I just thought it was such an unusual angle on a bridge.
Returning to the car after an evening shoot in my local town I spotted this as a potential alternative to my usual landscape images. I waited for a while for someone to come into view at the focus point but eventually gave up LOL

KNOSSOS
Knossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.
