NHN's pair of GP38-2's hauls their sixteen car train up the runner this afternoon in a fairly intense snow squall. Trains have been short lately, giving a slightly better chance at shooting the southbound before darkness settles. It would be a straight shot to Dover today, although they did come north with 22 gas and 2 steel cars this morning.
Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة "Khalifa Tower"),[8] formerly known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft).[8] Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010.[1][9] The building is part of the 2 km2 (490-acre) flagship development called Downtown Burj Khalifa at the "First Interchange" along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district.

I couldn't really bend in the right way to get a clear picture that I liked, so I will just post the ones that are good, so you can get the "picture".
All I can say, is that this hurt so fucking bad. I have lots of tattoos, and hours upon hours of work, but for whatever reason, yesterday was NOT my day.
The Idaho State Capitol in Boise is the home of the government of the state of Idaho. Although Lewiston, Idaho, briefly served as Idaho's capital from the formation of Idaho Territory in 1863, the territorial Legislature moved the capital to Boise on December 24, 1864.
Construction of the first portion of the capitol building began in the summer of 1905, 15 years after Idaho gained statehood. Architects were John E. Tourtellotte and Charles Hummel. Tourtellotte was a Connecticut native whose career began in Massachusetts and skyrocketed further when he moved to Boise. Hummel was a German immigrant who partnered with Tourtellotte in 1903. The final cost of the building was just over $2 million; it was completed in 1920. The architects used varied materials to construct the building and their design was inspired by Classical examples.
Tourtellotte and Hummel used four types of marble: red marble from Georgia, gray marble from Alaska, green marble from Vermont, and black marble from Italy. Architectural inspirations included St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, St Paul's Cathedral in London and the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The most prominent feature of the capitol is its dome. Surmounting this dome is a bronze eagle, 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall. The capitol building is 208 feet (63 m) high, occupies an area of 201,720 square feet (18,740 m2), and contains over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of artistically carved marble.
There are 219 pillars in the original building – Doric, Corinthian, or Ionic – and each pillar is made up of marble dust, plaster and scagliola. Scagliola is a mixture of granite, marble dust, gypsum and glue dyed to look like marble. This artificial marble was created by a family of artisans in Italy.
On the first floor of the capitol building, when looking upward to the dome, 13 large stars and 43 smaller stars can be seen. The 13 large stars represent the thirteen original colonies and the 43 smaller stars indicate that Idaho was the forty-third state to enter the union. The floor contains a compass rose. In its center is a sundial that has minerals found in Idaho. The first floor also houses a statue called the Patriot by Kenneth Lonn, for those who worked in the mining industry.
The second floor may be accessed via three entrances; from the east, the south and the west. The lieutenant governor’s office is located in the west wing, just opposite the governor’s office. On the north side of the second floor rotunda is a sculpture of George Washington astride a horse. And to the rear of the George Washington statue is the attorney general’s suite of offices. The space was home of the Idaho Supreme Court until it moved to the new Supreme Court Building in 1970. The east wing houses the office of the secretary of state offices in whose reception area is the official copy of the Great Seal of the State of Idaho.
The third floor contains the Senate in the west wing and the House of Representatives in the east wing. The two chambers were remodeled in 1968. Also on this floor is the old Idaho Supreme Court room, now used for hearings and committee meetings of the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee. On the fourth floor are balcony entrances to the senate and house galleries. The galleries enable members of the public to watch the Legislature while it is in session. The northeast, northwest and southwest corners of this floor contain many historic paintings as well as three murals by Dana Boussard.

After three years of restoration that covered the 150-year old dome of the Capitol in scaffolding, the $60 million project was completed this week.
Workers had to repair 1,300 cracks and fix or replace cast-iron ornaments.
One goal of the project was that it be finished in time for the presidential inauguration in January.
Now let's wait for the congress that will fill the exquisite shell - it is up to them to truly justify the expenditure!
I've been living and shooting along the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch for six years now and I've shot every regularly scheduled train except for the nocturnal H58. The second trick local originates out of the yard in Shiremanstown on the Shippensburg Secondary and enters the Lurgan at LG 3. The push-pull train works the customers between there and CP Lees Cross Roads and is usually done work by dawn. One late night after work I heard the crew on the radio say they would be working Lane Enterprises, a plastic pipe manufacturer that gets plastic pellets by covered hopper at LG 35. I also heard the eastbound unit was a former Southern Railway high-hood GP38-2 and it would be running long-hood forward, so I knew that night would be the night I'd stay up and cross this train off my list. The moon was rising into a hazy, humid sky at 4AM as the train stopped just east of the Lane siding. The conductor is walking to the head-end after putting the train back together as the engineer charges up the air and gets ready to head back to the yard.

History and heritage
Because classroom space was in short supply, a hall was considered a luxury for Canterbury College. The Great Hall opened to both acclaim and controversy on Diploma Day 1882.
In its early years, it housed the College’s small library and was used for public lectures and formal graduation ceremonies. Over time, the University allowed greater use of the hall for events such as music recitals, student dances and society gatherings. Prior to the earthquakes, the great hall held a wide range of events and performances year-round.
The Great Hall provides a strong reflection of local heritage and culture. It makes rich use of native timbers, with kauri and rimu panelling, along with rewarewa, totara and matai lozenges.
It provides space for memorial plaques and icons, the first of which was dedicated to Helen Connon, the first woman to graduate with honours in the British Empire.
In 1938, a large stained glass window was dedicated to the sacrifices of College students in the First World War. This Memorial Window was rededicated in 2016 after its restoration following the Canterbury earthquakes.

I shot this from the 10 floor of the Hyatt hotel...this is one of the largest and most morden drawbridges in the world. My main focus here was the Tower in the middle that controls all functions.
The new 17th Street Causeway Bridge in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was constructed along the alignment of the previous drawbridge. The cost of the transformation was $62 million. The new bridge was completed in 2001 and offers bike lanes, an emergency lane and pedestrian overlooks. While work was carried out on the new permanent bridge, a temporary Dutch style bridge was put in place to maintain traffic flow.
The cost of the permanent bridge was $62 million, and the temporary bridge $6 million. The new bridge increases the vertical clearance from 25ft to 55ft and the channel width from 100ft to 125ft. The 17th Street approach spans are made of twin variable depth - constant slope concrete segmental bridges, built using a combination of balanced cantilever and progressive cantilever construction methods.
Have tried and tested this concept before as well but could not resist trying it again !!!

Well... That is that, the end. Back in July, I visited Northampton for the first time with the idea of getting a shot of the 86/6s during their crew change on the Coatbridge intermodal service. Four months on, I have managed to get shots of the final 11 86/6s leading 4S88 at Northampton.
Freightliner racing green class 86/6 no. 86608 stands during a crew change at Northampton in multiple with Powerhaul liveried classmate no. 86622 working 4S88 Felixstowe to Coatbridge intermodal on 12th November 2020.
The Class 86 locomotives built upon the Class 81-5 however they included some improved features such as quieter fans.
The locos were initially notorious for causing track damage due to a large amount of unsprung mass however, after modifications which led to the fitting of large flexicoil springs, the problems diminished. The initial class 86/0 subclass was limited to 85 mph due to the track-wear issue, those which were fitted with flexicoil springs were renumbered into the 86/2 series and were 100mph capable. 3 test bed class 87s were numbered 86101-103 and were 110mph locos.
Many locomotives have been exported to operator Floyd in Hungary and are used on freight trains over there.
The 86/7 subclass of two locomotives was 110mph capable however they were withdrawn in early 2013 due to lack of GSMR fitment. After several unsuccessful attempts to find work for 86701 and 86702, both locomotives were exported.
The 86/6 subclass is limited to 75mph and are used on Freightliner trains on a daily basis as working pairs.
From 2015 to 2019, 86101, 86401 and 87002 were hired in by GBRf in order to work ECS moves between London Euston and Wembley ICD for the Caledonian Sleeper. After the arrival of mk5 stock to the Caledonian Sleeper, 87002, 86101 and 86401 came off lease. 86101 and 87002 were sold to Locomotive Services Limited in Crewe and 86401 was sold to the West Coast Railway Company and is currently based at Carnforth.

Had Blank and Cross run behind a crate and hold position. Darklight and Eight-Four followed close behind. Darklight ran for cover... he was shot immediately. Eight-Four and I shot wildly at a desperate attempt to land a bolt on the sniper.
I've lost to many men under my control.
I'm wondering how I'm still alive.

“Life is short.
Time is fleeting.
Realize the Self.
Purity of the heart is the gateway to God.
Aspire.
Renounce.
Meditate.
Be good; do good.
Be kind; be compassionate.
Inquire, know Thyself.”

With limited space and a live-in girlfriend tolerance I think I did a good job. She does like my collection...for now.

I was sick the last few days, delirious with fever mostly. I remember awakening to find the wife with a mirror near my face to see if I could still "fog" it. Another moment where I discovered the cats circling me wondering if it might be Kosher to take a bite. Never turn your back, I felt like a wounded dik-dik on the Serengeti.
