Representing the third generation of trains since the rump of the Isle of Wight’s train services were electrified in 1967, Class 484 004 is seen after emerging from St. John’s Tunnel on its approach to Ryde Esplanade station. As before, the rolling stock was sourced from London Underground, this time comprising former D78 units that were once employed on the District Line.
The theme for this year's Burning Man was Cargo Cult.
"..a kind of Melanesian millenarian movement encompassing a diverse range of practices and occurring in the wake of contact with the commercial networks of colonizing societies.."

The rising sun is just on the edge of ascending above the ridge line in this view from Maroon Creek near Aspen, Colorado on a warm fall morning. The evergreen dominated ridge line ascends towards Pyramid Peak.
My final afternoon in Normandy. I decided to go for a walk along a section of the Seine. Could hear thunder rumbling in the next valley... kept walking. Big mistake! Before I knew it, the wind picked up and the heavens opened! The thunder was constant! One long constant roll. Never heard anything like it before. I recorded it (just before the rain) chirb.it/mGzeye
After a week of hot, dry weather, I'd left my waterproof in the car. I tried, for a while, to shelter in a bush... but the wind and rain was so violent that I got soaked anyway, and I mean to the skin! So funny!!
Eventually made a dash back for the car, only about half a kilometre away, but that's far enough when it's pouring! Took my t-shirt off in the car (there was no-one about!!) and luckily had a bodywarmer to cover up! Lol! Just drove straight back to my Gite (thankfully only about 15 mins away) and stripped off straight into the shower! What a finale! Lol!

Just moments after leaving Wanamaker Station, the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern's chunky Porter #65 approaches the unguarded crossing at Levans Road, as she takes a short branch line mixed train upgrade toward Kempton, PA, a little over 2 miles ahead.
This image was captured during a May 2008 photo shoot on Pennsylvania's Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern, which featured the former Safe Harbor Water & Power Co. #65, hauling a local mixed train. The 65 is a 1930 Porter 0-6-0T saddle tanker that was a perfect fit for this little tourist operation that is only 3 miles long.

By the time of this scene at The Mound in summer 1956 the end of Edinburgh's tramway system was nearing. As was the end for fleet 103 which was already 21 years old ! The Council had decided (in wisdom or not!) to abandon Edinburgh's trams in favour of buses and all would be gone by November 1956.
This was the first of Edinburgh Corporation's 'domed roof standard trams', built at their Shrubhill workshops in 1935 and pressed into service at Gorgie depot for routes 1,2, 3 and 4, and later routes 25 and 26. Note the drop down windows a feature that was modified by improvements to later trams. In 1953 Gorgie converted to buses and 103 moved to Tollcross and is seen on service 23 en-route to Granton Road Station.
Note the nearside advert for Weston's Biscuits. (in later years Burton's). Garry Weston was then based on Slateford Road and advertised on nearly half Edinburgh's tram fleet.

As the little sign notes, our Rotary Outfit is now approaching the dirt road crossing at Dalton. You'll note that the discharge plume is significantly denser than in some of the earlier photographs. The snow depth up here is perhaps 1-2 feet.
I'm not a huge fan of stingrays - especially swimming amongst them. But if you travel to the Caymans, a visit to "Stingray City" is a must. The sheer beauty of this place is amazing - you'll never see clearer teal water.

I saw faces in these storm clouds as they loomed over our lake yesterday afternoon. Maybe just a rugged old man, or-- is there a crying baby with hand extended next to the face of another man who seems to be in distress???

Whilst these are very popular in Sydney, the problems of shooting them are that mostly they are too from the front path to photograph in peoples gardens. So I had to hunt around for ones well placed so I can get pictures at different angles.
The species vary too and some area already nearly finished flowering and others have not started yet, and they make different shapes according to which variety. So I was wandering around the area trying to find suitable ones to photograph as they are soon over the flowering period!!!
This corn crib in Champaign County Illinois will soon be overtaken by an approaching cold front in mid October.

«Dal momento che l'amore e la paura possono difficilmente coesistere, se dobbiamo scegliere fra uno dei due, è molto più sicuro essere temuti che amati.»
