I took a manual focus 28mm lens, a circular polarising filter and a gradient Grey filter to the beach and got this.

Back again to capture one of my favorite views. It had been several weeks, months even, since I had gone out to shoot anything. When your budget is tight and you dont know of many places, you run out of ideas...quickly. This was the case. Needing to get out of the house, I grabbed the camera and drove. Naturally I ended up at one of my favorite spots, enjoying one of my favorite views.
Sometimes, you just need to hit restart.
After completing its switching at Rousselot, and waiting for two commuter rail trains, BO-1 makes it way back down to Boston via the ex-Eastern Railroad, ex-B&M, now MBTA Commuter Rail Eastern Route. It’s seen here passing Castle Hill interlocking westbound.
Two lenses just came back from Cleaning-Lubrication-Adjustment (CLA) here in Bangkok: My 20mm f3.5 Olympus Pen F lens and a Leica Elmar-R 180mm f4 that was in mint condition except for internal haze that the Ebay seller called “fungus”. Easily cleaned during the CLA and I got a great Leica telephoto for only $60!

Hello everyone
I am back!
Sorry for my 8 months absence, I miss you.
Life showed me the some hard parts of life. So I've lived, watched, learned and grown in soo many ways.
I've learnt how to live alone, how to survive in this monster world. I've learnt leaving someone and hiding my tears. I've learnt that people can love, hurt you and care about you.. I've learnt that we are all strong enough and at the hardest moments we should stay there and fight.
I can honestly say that 'I did my best' and I am happy with all these
Miss you all and I will catch up soon :-)
This is something about where i am right now what i did, what i will do next, all the hardes times, what i lost, what i had...
Constructed between 1847 and 1849 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, (MS&LR - later became the Great Central), this is Torksey railway Viaduct, which crosses the River Trent between Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire, roughly half way between Lincoln and Gainsborough. Designed by John Fowler (1817-1898), who later was one of the two engineers for the Forth Rail Bridge, Torksey Viaduct is a rare, and early surviving example of a tubular girder bridge.
There are two 130-foot spans over the River Trent, each consisting of two massive wrought iron girders - as seen here.
These are supported on stone piers - one in the centre and one at each side. On the Lincolnshire side is a 570-foot approach viaduct of 20 spans, and the bridge proper starts over a small natural island in the river. The position of the Bridge was chosen to use this island to simplify the task.
Captain Lintorn Simmons, the Board of Trade’s inspector, refused to grant permission for the viaduct to be opened, having “entertained doubts as to the ultimate security” of the bridge. After much argument, Fowler, supported by the Engineering profession, won the day, and the first train passed over in April 1850.
The bridge was twice strengthened - in 1877 & 1897, because increasing traffic and train loads. A conventional steel lattice girder (again, seen in this photograph) was inserted centrally into both main spans in the 1897 works, whilst the northern girders were moved out to maintain track clearances.
The "Leverton Branch", as this line (which ran between Sykes Junction near Lincoln and Clarborough, just West of Gainsborough), was known, was closed on November 3rd 1959, with Lincoln-Sheffield trains taking the only slightly less direct route through Gainsborough Lea Road. However, the line to the West of the Trent was reinstated in 1969 to serve the new power station at Cottam's need for coal, whilst on the Lincolnshire side, the line was run from Sykes Junction to the Shell petrol depot at Torksey. Only the viaduct itself remained closed.
The Oil traffic ceased in the late 1980s, and the track is now all lifted (and the road bridge on the Gainsborough-Lincoln road was removed).
Until the early 1990s it was possible the walk across the viaduct - this was no longer possible by the 1990s as the track bed had been removed on the bridge itself, and that part was fenced off. Happily, this was resolved during the las 12 months. The cycling and footpath charity Sustrans have installed the required safety fencing and reinstated the bridge bed on the North side. There is now a fine footpath over the impressive bridge to the riverbank on the Western (Nottinghamshire) side of the river. This shot shows the (still without a track bed) South side of the bridge.
The viaduct is rightly covered by a Grade II* listing but worryingly, also features on English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register.

A scene in my neighbor's back yard photographed with the Lensbaby Double Glass2 lens. The statue faces towards the house, and I've always liked contemplating it. Grass is rare in the Las Vegas region due to the ongoing drought, so most yards have a rock cover.
My October 2 entry for the October Challenge
Stumbled across some youtube films from beautiful Denbigh and had to go back in the archives and process another, non HDR, shot from the facade of the admin building. Visited a few years back. Does it still stand today?

In a rare daylight move train CP 930 charges south through Westport, NY approaching mp 129.9. Trains are again beginning to move down the D&H after the blockades protesting the pipeline in British Columbia that have pretty much paralyzed rail service throughout eastern Canada are are starting to be removed.
