Chopper

I work in a small motorcycle workshop. So that it doesn't get boring, we organize an event from time to time. Every year there is the "Chopper Day". Except for the last 2 years, you know why. But hopefully it will be that time again in 2023. I love my job!
What an experience it was to see and hear the train make its slow and sinuous way up the valley from Glenwhilly. Six of us were in various positions to record the event.
When we discussed it that evening, it was clear that the second loco was not working properly. There is little exhaust to confirm this, and the driver shut off power shortly after the shot was taken for the speed restriction over the two bridges here. When power was reapplied, an impressive tower of clag rose from both locos, a little more in fact from the second class 20.

The last shot from the plane graveyard... had to crop this a bit as it seems i have lost all ability to clone... as both chris' were in shot allong with their cameras.
loved the cloud movement over this as it approached 4am :)
Get to the chopppa!
While hiking into WBP, I saw a helicopter. I imagined they were spies, but they were probably hunters.

Thanks very much for visiting and comments especially.
Captain Cook discovered a safe haven at what he called Dusky Bay and had his astronomer carefully determine its location by the stars so other ships could find it. Only problem, apart from sandflies, is that in 250 years no one has ever built a road to it. In this photo you can see the terrain inland from Dusky. We travelled 6 days by boat to get in but "as the crow flies" after 30-40 minutes we were back at civilization.
One very late night ..
I love classic Indian motorcycles.
The engine is based loosely ( very ) on an 1930s indian chief with its 'suicide' stick shifter.

Now that Craig's huggy arms are all the way across the country, I know how Chopper must have felt when I was horning in on the affections.
