Catching the early morning light with a frost still evident SU45-067 is seen calling at Zawada with overnight train 62206 the 20.00 Wrocław Główny to Hrubiesów Miasto. The standard gauge line the train is on forms a branch from here to Hrubiesów Miasto which was once a through route to Izów in the Ukraine. It lost its passenger service beyond Hrubiesów in 1944 but was retained as a cross border freight line until 1978 when the line was finally closed reducing it to a dead end branch from here. The following year in 1979 the new 1520mm gauge LHS (Lina Hutniczo Siarkowa) opened parallel to this route known in English as the Steel & Sulphur Railway. If you look extreme left in this image you can see the back of a signal painted silver on the Russian gauge line. The LHS formed a major freight artery for steel and mineral traffic from the heavily industrialised Silesian Basin area of Southern Poland with the line starting from yards east of Katowice at Jaworzno Szazakowa. In the Soviet era it had a limited passenger service geared to Russian and Ukrainian immigrant labour and supported just 4 stations in Poland in 379km length to the border. The main train being an Olkusz to Magnitogorsk service which took several days to reach the Russian 'Steel City' in the Ural Mountains where European Russian meets Asia. As well as this long distance service there were direct sleeping car trains to Moscow and one to L'viv in the Ukraine.

Chinese Dance Workshop.
One of the four dances performed ... each dance shows a different ethnic costume from a region in China ... this is one of the Xinjiang Uygur ethnic costumes.
This dancer is apparently catching water from a waterfall. Too bad there's no actual water. A wet look would be quite interesting. It's one of the best in the "Chinese Dance Workshop" set and one of my most outstanding.

I think this is the first time I've tried doing a slow exposure for Catching Cookies - and I readily admit failure.
I had a willing model and I tried a variety of speeds. I was just never able to get the image in my head to show up on the LCD. Anything faster and it just looked like I was a crappy photographer who couldn't hold the camera still and the slower shots were a indistinct blur blob.
This one was probably the best of the bunch - you could actually see the cookie, and the trail of the cookie (if you look hard enough), and there is some blurring of Toby's head (see the extra eyeball?)
But it's a far cry from what I've gotten when having the boys spin in a circle.
Still... I'll give it some thought. It might be worth trying again if I can figure out what needs to change.
My initial thought is that Toby moves backward when trying to catch the Cookie, so his "shadow" (trail?) is being mostly obliterated by his body and his fluff - which kinda hangs in mid-air like something out of Looney Tunes.
If that's the case, then I'm going to have to throw the cookie short, so Toby will lunge forward for it. But my pitching (while clicking) skills are bad on a good day, so.... ?
Update: Maybe if I switched to a Lacrosse Ball? It would leave a nice trail even if Toby obliterated his own.

Heron, catching frogs at Dunham Massey, last week - difficult to get a totally clear shot, between the reeds. Apologies to the squeamish - probably best not to look too close...

After my look around the Curator's House gardens I took a walk though the Christchurch Botanic Gardens making my way to the Canterbury Museum.

We took a break from work yesterday and went looking for Natal Snoek (Queen Mackerel). It was one of those days when it's worth getting up at 3am to go fishing with hubby ... well, he fishes and I skipper the boat when we're looking for these fish. There was a 2,5m swell running which is fine as we have to go relatively close to shore and pay careful attention in case a rogue wave decides to stand up. On Saturday we witnessed a skiboat nearly flip over on a wave and it's not a pretty sight. Well, we didn't catch anything, the conditions were too perfect, but who cares, it's days like that that make you feel glad to be alive :)) (the fish probably agree too, lol)
