This is my completed Supernova quilt. I call mine a babynova because all of the fabric squares and rectangles were cut at half the original pattern size. The finished quilt measures 26.5" square. It is hand quilted with black perle cotton size 8. This was a wonderfully put together quilt along hosted by the talented Lee of www.freshlypieced.blogspot.com.

Be like a bird. who halting in her flight
On a limb too slight, feels it give way beneath her,
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings
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.

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.

No visit to the North West was complete without seeing what was at Arpley. I was in the area for the Crewe Electric Open Day on 3rd May 1997 so poked my nose in. From left to right, 37095, 56075, 31166 and 08918 head various lines of Locos
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.

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.

“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.”
North Shore, Pittsburgh, completed 1998
You can see reflections of the golden Andy Warhol Bridge and the downtown-area buildings (on the opposite side of the Allegheny River) reflected in the glass. I was standing on the Rachel Carson Bridge. The ivy on the right covers a bridge abutment. This was early in the morning when the sun made the yellow bridges look so bright I had to reduce the saturation to make them look more natural on other photos.
The old Alcoa Building (1953) in Pittsburgh was a rectangular 31-story skyscraper with windows that were reminiscent of rounded-cornered, rectangular portholes. It was designed as a showpiece for the use of aluminum as a building material. Aluminum was used for the skin of the building and for utilities. Because of its light weight, substantial savings were made on the steel frame. That building is now known as the Regional Enterprise Tower.
In 1998, Alcoa moved its corporate center from Downtown Pittsburgh to the North Shore of the Allegheny River. This aluminum and glass facade reflects the city across the Allegheny River in its wave-like structure. Instead of hundreds of private offices, the interior has an open structure to encourage discussions and collaboration.
Looking at this building from the other side of the river, it isn't as impressive-looking as it is from this view. Note that on the far left is PNC Park (baseball stadium.)
Architects:
Exterior - Rusli Associates
Interior - The Design Alliance, which was also contracted to renovate the interior of the 1953 building.

The Cathedrale Saint-Cecile in Albi, in south-east France, was begun in 1282 and took 200 years to complete. Originally constructed as a fortress, it is a World Heritage Site and reputedly the largest brick building in the world.
