EWS Brush Type five Class 60 60064 "Back Tor" diesel-electric locomotive, still in obsolete triple grey Loadhaul livery, powers an enterprise train Westbound through Barnetby railway station. This locomotive was built at Falcon Works in August 1991.
We had all flown back from Aswan that morning, except Shaban, our guide. We had said our goodbyes to him at the airport as he was flying home for a few days before his next job. Upon arriving back in Cairo another rep had met us and Vicky and I said goodbye to the rest of the group. Rather than spend the next 7 hours in an airport hotel bar and departure lounge as they were about to do, we had already decided and booked to stay an extra day and night back at the Crowne Plaza in West Cairo. This would give us an afternoon around the rooftop pool, a nice evening meal together and a chance for Vicky to visit two more Pyramids the next morning. These were out at Dharshur on the edge of the Western Desert, not far from Saqqara and hadn't been on the Jules Verne Itinerary. After a very intense 8 days this would be a nice way to unwind.
So this is the view of West Cairo from the rooftop pool. The concrete line across the middle of the photo is the new Monorail. Opening October 6th 2025, it wasn't yet half finished and it currently has no opening date. (HS2 Anyone?) Next to the GEM, it was the 'other' grand engineering project going on in Cairo at the time. 2 lines, The East and West Nile lines, 33 stations and 60 miles of track. When it is finished the views from it should be amazing and will be a fantastic way to see and get around the city.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Flickr friends!
I just returned from a business trip to Barcelona. I'll have a bunch of photos from Barcelona in the coming weeks. I have over 2,500 photos to go through.
Submitted for your approval is a shot of Sant Joan, a small, abandoned church, located in the Montserrat Mountains, above the Benedictine Abbey of the same name.

A shot of my gorgeous Parisian friend and model Sophia, from our first ever studio shoot (a few days ago).
This was a fun shoot, but it's always a pleasure for me to work with Sophia. It also meant we could avoid the rather "quirky" Parisian weather. :-)
As previously noted, my thanks are due to my Flickr contact papillon de jour2010, for first putting me in touch with Sophia.
You can see other shots I took of Sophia in my Sophia set.
Just what it is! Scratch your back by yourself without help.

Tetsujin returned home from his big adventure posing for Tubes. Yeah, shipping a 200' tall robot is expensive, but that's just money. Shipping cost is nothing compared to the storage problem with this billboard sized Polaroid. I'm afraid they'll lean it against the house and crush us or something. The shadow blocks out the light for the whole neighborhood....
and now where do I park Tetsujin? Black Ox has been living in his spot for the past few months.
By the way, if anyone who comes here to look at my "art" is unfamiliar with Tubes' excellent Polaroids, they should immediately click over and spend a few hours gazing. And then go out and buy an SX-70 to get in on the pola action themselves!
70/365
I'll officially be back to continue my 365 in less than a week! I'll be starting to upload on a daily basis again this weekend, but I'm studying for finals. However, classes are officially over so we consider this "summer" because we don't have to go to school any day except for Tues. and Thurs. for finals :) Mixed emotions. Oh well, summer's practically here!
Burnley and Pendle 1304 (F104 XCW), new originally to the erstwhile council-owned fleet, returned to service in her home town after an inter-group transfer by Blazefield. B&P names are carried, but the previous Lancashire United blue remains.
Burnley, 19/06/2003.
I am in need of repair. My back has gone out again. When I was a college freshman, I took a date to my spring formal. I don’t drink, but my date did and it was an open bar. One car wreck later, I had three crushed vertebra. Every so often, my back decides to remind me of a bad decision in 1973.... odc: in need of repair
Very excited to go back in Japan next month, after almost 3 years.
My last visit was in March 2020, to Tokyo and Fujisan area, just when covid began to hit the country and my own city. That trip had to be cut short as my wife and I worried that the border of Hong Kong might be shut anytime and hence our flights being cancelled. What would have been a 5-day stay in Tokyo after returning from Kawaguchiko was adjusted to only 2 days. And this time we are going back to Tokyo with a day trip to Kawaguchiko (this, is somehow coincidental!). Japan has always had a special place in our heart.
And this, was taken in Tokyo back in 2016 when I was hitting town solo. Can't wait to be roaming about and photographing there again!
Sony A7, Primoplan 58mm f1.9.
This was taken in an Nicaraguan ice cream shop, Eskimo, during my Orphanage Outreach service trip. We were allowed to explore the city during our free time, so my mom and I went to get a little sugary treat in order to stay awake to properly ring in the New Year.

I'm excited to go back to Hawaii in about a week. I don't really know the islands that well, and I'm not sure where we're gonna stay. I have my man Hans Mast working on it pronto... we got to be friends when he came out to one of our NZ Photo Workshops. So he helps me out with travel and cryptocurrencies... he's like a wikipedia of both!
CC&P GP10 #8258 is back home at Woodcrest Shops.
Originally built in March 1953 as IC GP7 8975, it was rebuilt at Paducah in Sept. 1970 as IC GP10 #8258. Until recently (2021) she languished in the dead lines at NRE Silvis. Look close and you can see the CCP Green Diamond on the nose.
I just booked plane tickets back to Finnmark on Sunday ツ
This is from when I was there two months ago. It will be nice to see the beautiful scenery without all the snow, and with even more birds ツ
My album of images from this beautiful part of Norway here.
