Taken from platform 5 on Clapham Junction! While waiting for a delayed Brentford train. I noticed on the train ride from Gatwick to Clapham Junction a beautiful moon rise and clear conditions allowed me very luckily to get this shot. I happened to see several aircraft on the base leg approach to Heathrow coming close for a moon pass!

The former whaling and fishing vessel Gardar BA 64 is Iceland’s oldest steel ship and was launched in 1912. It was retired in 1981 due to safety reasons. The remains of the ship can be found on the coastline of the Patreksfjordur in the Islandic Westfjords.
She waits,
cold and alone
a stranger in a foreign land
no friendly face awaits her arrival.
But this place,
unknown to her before her need
...will heal her, and comfort her,
give her it's strength.
Will shelter her
until
it is time
to go home
again

Ce jour là, je me suis mis dans le rouge en vélo pour grimper les collines avec les 2 appareils dans le sac à dos et les différents objos :) Mais cela fait du bien de suer parfois :)
Another shot form last month's trip with Steve.
I had the idea that the sun setting behind the Cuillin Hills taken from the Bealach na Bà on the Applecross peninsula would be a good way to end our day out in the west. Unfortunately the bank of cloud over Skye stopped that happening but I still fired off a few shots as the sun slipped out of view.
Garðar BA 64 is thought to be the oldest steelship in Iceland, built in Norway as a whaling vessel exactly one hundred years ago.
Garðar was launched in Norway in 1912, the year Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was named Globe IV and was equipped with both sails and a steam engine to use when the weather was still. It was specially reinforced to endure the harsh conditions of the Southern Ocean where it was used to hunt whales.
Globe IV was sold to the Faroe Islands in 1936 where it got a brand new name and a somewhat less dignified role in the whale hunting business. At the end of the second world war the ship was sold once again. This time to Iceland. Once here it was given an icelandic name, Siglunes SI 89, and the old steam workhorse which has powered it all those years was replaced with a 378 hp Ruston Hornsby diesel engine. The ship traded owners and names for number of years until 1963 it finally aquired the name it has today, Garðar. It was a good ship and served it’s many owners well for a long time.
In december 1981 Garðar BA 64 was deemed unfit for duty. Instead of sinking it a sea as was the custom in these days when ships went out of service it was and rammed ashore at Skápadalur valley in Patreksfjörður.
This traditional mass ball game takes place in Kirkwall twice a year, at Christmas and New Year.
Two teams of indeterminate number (about 75 each in this case) representing the Uppies and the Doonies spend anything between 15 minutes and 7 hours attempting to manhandle a leather ball to their opponents' goal - in the Doonies' case, the harbour, in the Uppies' a location symbolic of the town's long-vanished gates.
The game largely takes the form of huge scrums in which very few players have any idea where the ball (the ba') actually is, with occasional and sometimes diversionary breakouts taking place.
In this case the Doonies won after a little under 4 hours.
