A collage of 'The Builder' Giraffe No.13 by Artist Paulina Porebska. November, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand. I was doing collages for blipfoto and didn't think to put them up on Flicker but well from now on as they take so long to do!
Giant fibreglass Giraffe sculptures, reaching 2.5 metres high, are now standing tall on the streets, parks and public spaces of Christchurch and surrounding areas until 24 January 2015. At the end of the public art exhibition, in February, the Giraffes will be auctioned so we can all be part of raising money for local charities and turn the city’s Summer of fun into a helping hand for those who are in need.
On the side of every locomotive's smoke box is plates with the information for when the locomotive was built. These are the ones on Black River & Western which started life out in Colorado on the Great Western Railway.
The Builders Arms Hotel is a historic pub on Gertrude Street Fitzroy, and the public bar has been whetting the whistle of locals since 1853.
With the last car just clearing the Rum River, the eastbound Empire Builder passes the Northstar commuter rail station at Anoka enroute to St Paul Union Depot.
Amtrak 468 leading a 18 hour late Empire Builder! As it heads East and passes under the C&NW/ UP bridge in Glenview, IL.

Titled after a song by Gong. "Master Builder", on their album "YOU" is a power-house piece of music like no other. Starting off with deep Tibetan style chanting and repeated mystic syllables, the song gradually and gradually builds up to a muscular, repeated figure leading to furious and dazzling displays of synth, guitar and saxophone.
"Master Builder" takes no prisoners. It makes no compromises and relays a spiritual power that is hair-raising and breathtaking. It's shocking, rocketing finish is like being propelled out of cannon into the vast, light filled sky of another universe. In this case, on the album, "Master Builder" leads to the complex wonder of "A Sprinkling of Clouds", one of the greatest pieces Gong ever created. The two songs are inextricably linked.
It is this moment, from the Zen-shock finish of "Master Builder" and the propulsion into "A Sprinkling of Clouds" that came to mind when this image was created.
"Master Builder
Tell me how you make a Temple.
Jewels and Moonstones
You don't really need them.
You know.
Master Builder,
Tell me what the Temple's
Made of.
Deep inside you,
You can make
An Invisible Temple
In your own Imagination
If you Will."
- Allen, Smyth, Blake, Malherbe, Moerlen, Howlett, Hillage.

Returning to Chicago on the eastbound Builder is a handful of horizons and amfleets from 'Snow Train' on the west coast, it's not very often you get to see Amtrak's single-level cars out here, especially on a 'warm' December day...
The Empire Builder at one of my favorite places to shoot; Approaching Duke. Became a little more difficult to visit after 9/11 since the Prairie Island Nuclear plant is just to the right.
Westbound Amtrak #7, the "Empire Builder" slows to a stop at Red Wing, MN depot on June 15th, 2021 with 2 locomotives and about 12 cars. Train arrived at 10:20 pm, late this day (due at 8:52 pm) due to signal issues somewhere between Lake Cities and Red Wing.
I always loved O. Winston Links work on night railroad photography and have been taking more shots at night.
Brighton
Leica M3, 35mm f2 Summicron, and Rollei Retro 400S stand developed for 1 hour in Rodinal 1 + 100.
Amtrak 116 and 162 lead up the inbound builder just after sunset with only a few miles to still go till the trip is over.
Shooting from Oregon is Amtrak's Portland portion of the Empire Builder to the former passing Towal, Washington.
Amtrak in the Columbia River Gorge can be quite annoying, with it running against the light in both directions and often holding up BNSF trains in prime light

“A job you have to do, or a job you want to do?” I asked as I approached. “Oh I love it.” Was the answer. This is one of the roughest paths on Cader Idris, mostly used as a descent route. Erosion from footfall and weather has taken its toll. The massive chunks of stone are dropped in by helicopter and then chaps like this slowly manhandle then into place. He’s been at this since September and has another year to go. Funding is an issue, having lost some in European money due to Brexit, so if you’re visiting, use the car park, pay the fee, it all helps these guys continue to improve and maintain the paths too many people take for granted.
I photographed the builders and staff for a contracting company here in Ottawa. I think what's different about these is you rarely see the faces of who will actually be working on your home or business. L3 doesn't sub-contract any of it's work, so an in-house team means a bit of stability and I think a more personable approach. We shot these on a job-site so the dirt is real ;)
Strobist info: Elinchrom Ranger Quadra through a Westcott Apollo Orb on-axis and angled towwards subject. Large silver scrim-jim below for fill. A Ranger Quadra through an 18cm gridded reflector for the background (2 lights). Triggered with skyports.
This is a shot that I did for a builder's portfolio. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
It's about 10-12 total layers. Sky and grass replacements. Several flash pops STU to bring up the lights a little. I tried to accentuate what was more than just lighting it all up.
While the next round of Iron Builder rages on, I present a trophy to my victorious opponent Andrew, as per the tradition of the Iron Builder competition.
I hope there is space for this Brickarms Bionidoll trophy to stand proud on your shelf of wonders!
Cheers! : D
The Empire Builder at Chestnut St. A couple hours late as it descends Short Line Hill and heads to St Paul Union Depot.
