Kevin contemplates the distance while waiting for the signal (behind him) permitting his loco to leave platform 1 and run up to the 'totem pole' before coming back down on to its next train.
The 'Standard 2' was my engine in the afternoon: a local train to Rothley and back, and then six coaches to Leicester and back - which I fired and my mate drove. A thoroughly enjoyable turn.

Visit to the Michigan Firehouse museum in Ypsilanti today, never knew it was there.. my goal today was not to shoot the obvious, but to look closer find interesting things to shoot. No, this is not one of them... anyhow, after getting some shots, I saw the chief seated there, and I really wanted to do a SP with him.. and then I spotted the uniform. Didn't know if I could use it, so kept contemplating whether I should just put it on an invite trouble from the museum authorities or just forget about the SP.. I slowly lifted the coat, and it revealed a sign that read, "Try me on"..!!!!!!! "I was like a kid on a Christmas morning..!!!!!!"
So, despite all the other shots I took, I decide to post this one 'coz I hadn't done a SP in a while...
Thanks
A bull moose stands tall against the setting sun while waiting for his mate. There is a solemn softness in his eyes, reflective of the beauty that surrounds him, and of another day in life that has come to pass. It is early fall in Grand Teton National Park and the chill of winter is already knocking at the door. Moose are the largest species belonging to the deer family. Each winter males lose their large antlers and begin to grow new ones in the spring. They will be used in battle to win a mate during the fall rut. Moose populations have declined significantly over the last several hundred years. The overwhelming negative effects on their population are due to human encroachment. Eastern populations have been extinct for over 150 years. It's just another hard lesson to be learned. This world will be a lonely place if we don't take care to assure the safety of our wild animals.
This year will mark three years since I've spent time in the Tetons in the fall. It is, without doubt, my favorite place to be at this time of year. The weather is as unpredictable as it can be. Temperatures can top out in the mid 70's by midday and there can be a foot of snow on the ground the next. But the beauty of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem in the fall is almost unparalleled, and migrations of some land mammals, like the elk and pronghorn, are some of the longest on the continent. #ILoveWildlife #lLoveNature #WildlifePhotography in #Wyoming #GrandTetonNationalPark #BullMoose #Moose #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
I've been thinking lately. Should I do a 365? I'm not sure if I'm able to do so because it may add more stress to me along with two AP classes breathing down my neck. I'll come up with the decision by New Years, because I would like to do a 365 to improve. And boy, do I have a lot of room to improve.
It's the stress that worries me, that's all. :/
I hope all is well for everybody who is reading this, and now I'm going back to my room and clearing every thing in there.
Hooray.
Happy Holidays. :)
Or Merry Christmas.
Or Kwanzaa
or Hannukah.
or if you don't celebrate anything then...... Happy December. :)
Blaaaah PAINTING THIS ROOM SOON!
Seems like a good place to go and have a think ...

Looking out over Loch Arkaig. What could be described as "The middle of nowhere", but worth visiting for the peace.
This little downy must have bumped the window and was chilled when I came home from the post office. After holding a few minutes, some squawking and he was ready to be on his way.
Havia três andorinhas, duas juntas e uma sozinha.
E essa estava lá assim, tão tristinha, olhando para o mar;
parecia esperar a chegada da companheira...
A tarde passou, o sol baixou, e quando eu fui embora
ela ainda estava lá esperando, esperando...
There were three seagulls; twice together and one alone.
This one was so lonely, looking to the sea,
Looks like she was waiting for someone...
The afternoon passed, the sun leaved the sky and when I went out
She was still there, waiting, waiting...
