Was a bit more careful on leveling these 2 photos for the merge. The 1-3 dilution of developer is also a bit better
Bits of the old Singer
Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Bit more windy today on the Aberdeen Beach than eight years ago. Didn't stay longer than this photo.
A bit of a mystery pic - The Metadata says: Taken in 1942 - Aleppo - Baghdad Railway - Syrian Railways - Lebanon Lignes Syriennes de Baghdad (LSB) Geo Egestorff 0-8-0 loco No. 862.
It's a former Prussian G8 0-8-0 with a modified chimney arrangement. At least 48 were supplied by France to the Societe Ottomane du Chemin de fer Damas-Hama et prolongements -DHP for short - in 1939, but my source says these were numbered 801-848..
I can only find passing reference to the LSB in Hughes Middle East Railways and no loco numbered 862. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? There is also a pic of loco 863 in the collection.

On the face of it, this seems a bit of an odd one. 47739 'Robin of Templecombe' running as 0Z55, the 08:00 Barrow Hill Colas Rail to Carlisle to collect two DRS Class 37s (37607 & 37612) that have been brought out of storage on Longtown and taken to Barrow Hill for attention. Why Colas pulling DRS tractors? Well, the DRS machines are two of those sold by DRS earlier this year to Harry Needle, so as Colas need them, presumably for Network Rail Infrastructure monitoring trains, its time to collect. Seen passing Longport in the Potteries on Thursday 8th June 2017.
It is bit more than half moon tonight as August 24 2015.I was lucky to see such clear sky for the half moon with no fog weather. You may see the details of the moon craters.
The shot was with 600mm X 2 X 2 = 2400mm. The Nikon J4 can do a good job to take the moon shot :)
Hopefully to see clear sky for the full moon this Saturday. Will wait and see.
Wearing a longer under skirt with this dress has really improved it from my point of view.
The dress is longer, and the black band under the hem adds a bit more fun to the outfit as a whole.
Hazel (left) is curious about what Bambi has been up to. She'd been licking the ice that I'd dumped from a frozen water bucket, for some reason.
Crane, mural, aquarium, Convention Center, etc.
Seen while on the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island.
A bit of a jumble in composition terms, a vestige from the days when I was trying to be arty-farty with my transport photography. A damp day in Lincoln saw me capture Harry Secombe gurning in an urge for us to Keep Britain Tidy, while the municipal car park attendant in hallmark jobsworth cap awaits business in his booth, and Lincoln City Transport AEC Bridgemaster No.95 (TFE538) awaits its next turn of duty.
The bus was one of a batch of four Bridgemasters that that Lincoln took in September 1962, the final new customer for the not very successful low-height bus. In fact, AEC had already announced that it would cease production of the type, replacing it with the Renown model that did not sell any better. Lincoln’s purchase of the AEC Bridgemaster was a surprise, as Lincoln favoured Leylands. I believe that the four buses had originally been ordered by Leicester City Transport, so my guess is that AEC made an irresistible bargain offer to offload the unwanted buses. I wonder how much satisfaction Lincoln obtained from its Bridgemaster quartet? The type didn’t last very long in service, being withdrawn in 1974.

Agfa CT18 film.
Made a little bit more progress, but not nearly enough.
Still not sure how to tackle closing up the angled corners.
a bit of an artistic picture now, haha.
The RL8 is packed with a compact V8 as a powertrain, producing not as much horsepower as the Venozis RL7, but the radiator has moved upwards in order to catch better the air provided by the roof and that has increased the cooling efficiency significantly. It's like the RL8's got a 8th generation Intel I5 processor, while the RL7 has a 7th one Intel I7.
But why a V8, instead of a Boxer? Well, the joint project agreements involved the engine type choice aswell, and this is the setup we chose for our rides. The RL8 will also be the second model of the line to feature RWD instead of AWD, just like it's grandfather Asphalt RL4 (which has also been born on a circustance of a joint project with Alex B).
