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.
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...
A pair of CP containers are passing the station in Farnham as CP 251 (since renumbered to CP 223) heads to the west end of town where it will set off some cars a siding. Built by CP, this station had not been used by predecessor CMQ (MMA did use it) and was in pretty bad shape. Since taking this line over, CP seems to have prettied it up a bit, though I don't think they are making use of it.

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?

I took this photo in Switzerland last week, the weather was great every day.
I will get a new camera: I just bought the new Nikon D5100.
After turtle eggs are hatched in the Turtle captivation center, the babies are freed to their habitat, the ocean..... It is said only 5% of the babies can survive till adults and they will be back to the same beach for delivering eggs....what a wonderful chain of life.

Catching a Citirail locomotive leading a train is always a treat! After depositing a freight train at BNSF's Riverbank yard, the two engines return to Stockton Intermodal yard to power an outbound intermodal train.

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.

while taking pictures of the containers on the porch, Larry decided to photo bomb a few of my shots!

I am so happy with this. At the end of June 309 suddenly just stopped coming out and could be seen at Marine and I thought that it had been withdrawn and I might have to try and get a shot at Marine. But suddenly after over a month away I saw what I thought was 309 but thought I just misread but I checked and it was actually back at Central, so I knew I needed to get the shot. So, U caught up with Lothian buses 309 at Cannonmills while working a service 27 to Silverknowes.
Mother Nature's delayed April Fool joke on us (8:57 am Eastern Daylight Time, 7:57 am real time). Fortunately, it has nearly all melted by now (12:48, Eastern Daylight Time)
A walk from Kennack Sands to Coverack. Saw this Buzzard land and started to snap when it made to take off. Turned out to be evasive action against incoming Pregrin.
I shot this back in December 2020 and never edited it until now.
It was one of those special mornings on Sydney Harbour.
Absolutely gorgeous!

After sitting in Hillburn Yard for over a week, NJT 4109 was let loose out of Hoboken on train 93 to Port Jervis this evening. The train catches the mid evening sunlight at Sloatsburg Curve on the former Erie Main.
Back to school time in Utah. Here are Jessica and Joshua on the morning of the first day. They look reasonably happy to embark. Both were enthusiastic about their new shoes.
