If they please to you i will be glad
I love hay bails - look at them and for them all the time - but I am rarely happy with my shots of them. Here I was able to make them secondary - a detail in the larger scene ... sort of like that little red bucket in the door of the barn ... I love that silly red bucket - it just sorta makes me happy

Two BR J94's seen at Wansford, re-created for the 'Boston Bucket Bash' photo charter organised by the NVR Wagons Group earlier this week. 68018 is actually Austerity 3193 while 68070 is the Nene Valley's own out of ticket WD 75006. Both very well weathered and disguised as locomotives shedded at Boston in BR days.
In a landscape widely unknown to most living on this planet, the Sandaoling opencast mine in the Xinjiang Province of western China is a most inhospitable place by anyone's reckoning. As the last place on planet Earth where commercial industrial steam can be witnessed working on such a scale, it is understandably on the 'bucket list' of many a follower of steam traction happy to visit far out of the way places, and Sandaoling certainly falls into that category! In the weak afternoon sun of 16th January 2016, 'JS' Class 'Mikado' No.8197, built at Datong Works in 1987, heads away from the bucket loader, its cylinder drain cocks unusually open by this point of its progress away from the loading point, possibly for the benefit of members of the Hami Photographic Club which were visiting; such is the popularity of this spectacle, likely to end during 2020.

Long time no see! Warming up myself by doing some simple builds, and this is one of the projects I always wanted to do: a bucket loader to complete my construction site series! It is a challenge to redo everything on my own, and I took some inspiration from others on the cockpit part. The loader arm is not easy at all, taking me nearly 2 weeks to make it right and work like the real life loader with the same mechanism.
Beefing up the dump truck a little bit from 60075, now the bucket loader has a match work partner. As a bonus, a little red digger to speed up the site progress!
This was my year to finally get this bucket list image. I had never shot this barn before, though I did know where it was.
I have made this analogy before, but landscape photography is like surfing. You head out, usually early, and try to catch some waves. Maybe you get a few good one, maybe the waves never break right and you get nothing. Here, swap waves with light. Perhaps you have great light, perhaps you don't. I really wanted some clouds in this image, but usually you get clouds covering Hood, or a clear sky. Both is very hard to get.
So I started visiting this site a lot. I usually never got out of the car. I was just watching the blooms. As they got close, I started watching the weather. There were a few times when the weather said partially cloudy, so I headed out. I got there once at sunset, yes, Hood was there, but the clouds were not. So I drove home, an hour each way, and then got up at 4 the next morning to try my luck again. This image was from that sunrise, I was out there long before the sun came up. Again, the weather said partially cloudy, but there was hardly a cloud in the sky, shy of the odd hat on Hood.
All in all I took WAY too many images of this barn this year, but I thought it was my turn. I ended up with several great images to choose from, so I may post a few. Interestingly I did the same thing with 'that' Japanese maple from the Portland Japanese gardens. I stalked that tree last year in the fall because I had missed it for years and I was fed-up with missing it. So I stopped every day on the way home from work until the color was perfect and the line of photographers was long. So the moral of the story is, if you love something, stalk it until it looks perfect. No...wait, that's not right.
Let me know what you think.

There was a brief downpour today so I took a few images, where I happened to be walking, in quest of backjets. (High speed 1, 15 FPS at 3MP).
Processing note:
Vintage color cast achieved with Analog Efex (Classic Camera 7 preset)

or just those with backjets

Back to searching through the Iceland archive again. This location was on my bucket list for many years and I was lucky enough to spend most of a day here. It was certainly a location that didn't disappoint and the variety of compositions is stunning.
Photographer, location, date, unknown. Slide purchased at the Peculiarium in Portland, Oregon. Great looking rotating bucket at the Kentucky Fried Chicken- never heard of Kentucky Roast Beef before. Looks like they serve Kentucky Ham there as well.
For our 2023 Summer holiday we travelled to a remote group of islands in search for some well-deserved rest, relaxation, and pretty pictures. The first two days on the main island were filled with sunbathing, fighting over the air conditioning button of the car, and exploring the island. One of the sights on our list was a dormant volcano where I was planning to take some abstract images of old lava flows.
Upon our arrival, things looked mysterious with a lot of white steam venting from the ground. According to the locals, this was a normal occurrence, nothing to worry about. After some exploring and photographing, we slowly made our way back to our rental house, had dinner, and turned on the tv. First thing we saw was a live report on the news of an erupting volcano… the very one we visited earlier that day. Realizing this was quite a rare event, we jumped into the car and drove back up the volcano.
Several roads had already been closed off, but fortunately, we managed to reach a viewing platform that offered a good view into the crater. The glowing rivers of lava created a stunning spectacle of vivid orange lines flowing down the crater. For me it was a bucket list item I could unexpectedly check off my list.
And another shot from today's outing with Valda. Despite the market having a very high cameras to people ratio I still managed to get mildly told off by the owners of this olive stall for snapping without asking first. Hey ho. Such is life.
So I bought a large consignment of delicious olives from another stall and took them back to Mrs PYLTN who was suitably impressed.
Classic olive. Simple, iconic, and probably my fave of the bunch.
You can blame 8 Skeins of Danger for getting me stuck on a "buckets" kick this week ... it's going to be G.I. Joe helmets all week long! Woot!
