A Korean fortune teller in Seoul. One can find all types of fortune tellers in South Korea. And they run the gamut from the very profitable ones, as the one picutured here, to the more common ones working out of far smaller quarters in old buildings. I took this shot on the run, not wanting to get hit by any airborne demons--incoming or outbound!
I have queried my adult students here about whether they have ever visited a fortune teller. The majority of them have but only once or twice. Many said they had gone with friends after having a few drinks. Just my opinion, but I think that one would have to look far and wide to find any fortune teller who is going to give a person any bad news.

The 'microbus' built by Volkswagen was known in Australia as the Kombi.
Much prized over the decades by surfers - hence a good choice for a Scarborough Beach sculpture.
Another one of Jane which is a little better than the last.
But this wonderful Bedford KM was seen this year at the Ackworth show in July and im so glad the owner has left it as it is..
I saw this many years ago when it was stored in shed with others at Joseph Hughes and im glad its escaped at last!
Air conditioning is still considered a premium feature in Bulgarian trains and on this photo we have a fully air-conditioned train (including the locomotive) represented by train 2610 Varna - Sofia. It is hauled by one of Gorna Oryahovitsa's re-geared flagships 44 191. Caught just before the station of Svoge.

Not the perfect specimen though the first one i have got close to so far this year :-)

Sometimes, in the middle of a particularly cold and snowy winter, it's hard to imagine needing a machine to keep your house cold.
The Poet clings on to the Aarhus University wall... It's a perfect metaphor for the human condition. Attempting something seemingly impossible, ill prepared while the elements have at you. :)
A Mexican gray wolf keeps cool above a waterfall at the zoo. The wolves are very timid; I usually find them sleeping under the trees, far from the space provided to view them. I hope this wolf was able to keep cool, as I was also thankful for the photo opportunity!
This log house is air conditioned for you comfort, or at least it seems to be in this double exposure.
And there's a bench.

Only reason why this is probably still here is B/C it is in a church.
Places of worship are a great trove of vintage A/C's my friends.
1st April 2018. Pulling into Platform Four at Bury Bolton Street is LMS 5MT Crab 2-6-0 No.13065 with a service from Heywood. The Crab would be continueing its journey with an all stations stopping train to Rawtenstall.
It seems a long time a go that we saw LMS No.13065 in action as it was decided in 2018 that if it went for over-haul now it would not coincide with a City Of Wells [another ELR loco ] over-haul which would be the same year. As it turns out both locomotives could be out of action at the same time as the LMS 5MT Crab 2-6-0 No.13065 has just been pushed back and further back for unforseen circumstances. Hopefully the ELR will launch an appeal for the Crab when this lockdown has finished.
Bury Bolton Street Station is part of the East Lancashire Railway.
Following on from my visit to Willesden depot on 10th April 1965, an illicit visit to Old Oak Common was next on the agenda, access gained from the hole in the wall alongside the Grand Union Canal. I remember the awe inspiring feeling as I first set foot into the series of roundhouses, still housing steam locomotives at that stage in early-1965, but generally in poor external condition. Mostly in steam were 61XX 'Tanner Ones' and the Pannier Tanks used on the empty stock workings, plus some 'Hall' and 'Castle' Classes I recall. I had already used up almost half of my 12-exposure 127 roll film in Willesden shed and I didn't take one shot of a steam locomotive on this, my first visit to '81A'. Instead, I just couldn't ignore my other star 'cop of the day', namely D1000 'Western Enterprise'. Clearly, my focus was on the iconic number, at that time meaning far more to me with my newly-purchased Ian Allan ABC than a satisfying photographic composition. It was stabled in a line of locomotives, but I still took it wrong side for the sun - photographic techniques were still to be learned! At the age of twelve, unaccompanied and alone here, making this trip to the London sheds and around London was really quite enterprising I suppose. This was my first ever diesel locomotive shot taken. Very happy memories!

Urbex is a shortened form of "Urban Exploration". It is the act of going to and exploring lost and forgotten places that are not normally visited or often even accessible to the general public. Such places might include abandoned factories, hospitals, schools, offices and other derelict buildings, unused nuclear bunkers, old military buildings, disused rail yards etc. The REAL urbexer will NOT break anything in (or to get into) these places. In fact it's considered VERY bad form. But if access can be obtained without causing any damage, then that's considered fair game. Vandalism and graffiti are NOT allowed. It's like nature photography: Leave only footprints, take only pictures. See more Urbex here.
