Looking west on C12 towards a developing severe thunderstorm near Craig, Iowa that just crossed the Big Sioux River after forming over South Dakota.
YJ15 ARO is an Optare Solo M710SE new to Kier MG, Northampton in April 2015. It is now working for Craigs of Cumbernauld on SPT supported services and is seen here in Coatbridge whilst operating service 132 (Coatbridge-Moodiesburn).
Since childhood, Craig knew he was not like his peers. Behaving in a way completely outside social norms, Craig was labeled a 'problem child' from a very young age. Incredibly intelligent and gifted in many different ways, Craig could easily fit in with multiple groups be they musicians, athletes or artists. The main thing that holds Craig back is that he is emotionally divorced from the rest of humanity. He rarely if ever feels remorse for his actions or words, as he is often times unaware he is doing something "wrong." As far as Craig is concerned, the ends always justify the means. The problem is that his means could mean disaster for whoever is standing in his way.
Craig was originally a "My Scene Goes Hollywood" Ryan doll. Repainted by JemGirl, he was originally supposed to resemble Dexter Morgan, as he was a tribute doll I made back when I was OBSESSED with Dexter. I recently went through my neglected OOAK dolls and decided that since Maxine's world is so female-centric, I'd add more males to the mix. Craig's personality is somewhat similar to Dexter's but the main difference is that Dexter operates under a strict moral code, whereas Craig has no moral code since he was never taught to have one. He is an antagonistic character in the Maxine world but not on purpose. For Craig it's nothing about personal vendettas or hidden agendas, he's just a total sociopath. One day I might delve deeper into why he is the way he is. Nevertheless, for now he will remain somewhat of a mystery.

An incredibly fun show. The first three bands were a little less well-received than I thought they ought to be (save for the first, who I didn't care for) but when Chiodos took the stage, all the fun in the world was had.
Every band member sweated with stage presence, particularly Craig, who led the crowd through a solid hour of Chiodos' patented brand of piano-laced falsetto screamo.
That, and I was able to snag a fairly decent spot stage right, and half-sat, half-stood about three feet from Craig and company for the entire show. I'm also coming to grips with this new flash, my two favorite d40 lenses and my Instax, which I used again for multiply-exposed goodness.
Great night.
Lots more from the show at milestsang.com.

From my first visit to Kyiv in 2016, not often I like cities, but this one is special. Long may it stay so.
Here’s my Fashionistas Camo Comeback repainted since the original doll had wonk eye. Surprisingly the sculpt is a pretty decent match to Craig Cahn from Dream Daddy so I decided to paint him to be Craig.
I haven’t done exclusively acrylic paint face ups in a while, but I really wanted to match the game art so that’s why his eyes aren’t my usual doll paint lol.
Anyway I’m really lazy about sourcing clothes for him so he gets to wear this Fashion Avenue jacket.
This Dusky Crag-Martin was collecting mud (seen in its little beak) from the rain drenched soil in Jaipur outskirts. They use the mud and their saliva to construct cup-shaped nests that are stuck against walls.
From Wikipedia:
The dusky crag martin (Ptyonoprogne concolor) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. It is about 13 cm (5 in) long with a broad body and wings, and a short square tail that has small white patches near the tips of most of its feathers. This martin has sooty-brown upperparts and slightly paler underparts. The two subspecies are resident breeding birds in South Asia from the Indian subcontinent to southwestern China and the northern parts of Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.
This martin nests under a cliff overhang or on a man-made structure, building a neat half-cup mud nest with a soft lining. Both adults incubate the two to four eggs and feed the chicks. This species does not form large breeding colonies, but it is more gregarious outside the breeding season. It feeds a wide variety of insects that are caught as the martin flies near to cliff faces. It may be hunted by large bats as well as birds of prey, but its extensive and expanding range and large population mean that there are no significant conservation concerns.
I met Craig in Hyde Park Sydney. He told me about some of the challenges of having been born deaf.
Craig is #26 in my (much neglected of late!) 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com
Another shot from last weekend's trip to Powys and the wonderful Elan Valley.
This shot is taken from an elevated position above the car park at the end of the dam - I climbed a slippery steep slope and clung onto a fence post while taking this shot!
I like the sweeping curve of the dam and the contrasting tones in the flat misty light
(from - Wrigley's 1918 British Columbia Directory) - CRAIGS CROSSING - a Post Office and station on the E. & N. Railway, 20 miles north of Nanaimo and 92 miles north of Victoria, in Alberni Provincial Electoral District. Nearest telegraph office, C. P. R. at Parksville Jet., distant 4 miles and nearest steamer landing-point at Beaver Creek, Union Steamship Co.'s boats, distant 2 miles. The population in 1918 was 55. Local resources: One sawmill, one shingle mill, logging and shingle-bolt camps in operation.
CRAIG'S CROSSING - James and Robert Craig arrived at Craig Bay in 1885 and in 1887 recorded their land claim. Besides sheep farming James was a busy teamster. He petitioned the provincial government to establish a wharf at Arbutus Point (now Madrona Point). It was completed in 1893 and known as Beaver Creek wharf. Coastal steamers came with supplies from Nanalmo and Victoria for the small settlement at Englishman's River. At one time there was also a hotel there but it burned down. The advent of the E. & N. Railway in 1910 curtailed the steamship travel up the coast. James Craig was very Involved In the extension of the railway from Nanalmo. His property became a construction camp, complete with blacksmith shop, equipment sheds and the office-home of the project engineer. Eventually a crossing and railway siding were built and became known as CRAIG'S CROSSING. Jim Kingsley recalls working there as a very young man. James Craig was also a local postmaster and road foreman. He earned the nickname "Couger" because of his prowess as a cougar bounty hunter. He and his two sons Duncan and Fred had such reputations as cougar hunters that they received calls for assistance from all over tt1e Island. His first car, bought in the 1920's was affectionately known as the cougar wagon. James' son Fred still lives on part of the old Craig property. - Compiled by Marjorie Leffler - LINK to the complete article - www.parksville.ca/cms/wpattachments/wpID584atID9714.pdf

Clipped from - Nanaimo Daily News newspaper - Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada - 20 April 1946 - JAMES CRAIG, 82 TAKEN BY DEATH - One of the most interesting and colorful figures of this section of Vancouver Island died early this morning at Nanaimo Hospital. He was James Craig, 82, pioneer of Craig's Crossing and renowned as leading panther hunter of this entire section. He came to the Island in 1882, from Prince Edward Island, of which he was a native son. Considerably more than 150 Island cougar fell to the gun of this renowned hunter who was the originator of the use of the breed of Louisiana racoon hounds, for hunting the big "cats' here. With his brother Robert he worked westward with C.P.R. construction in the early days. At that time the western terminus was at Lytton. From that point he walked to Vancouver, then taking a canoe for the trip to Comox. This was in 1885, and the canoe with all supplies was lost upon the Comox Spit. Landing safely, however, the' Craig brothers tramped back down the Island and ultimately took up a homestead at what Is now Craig's Crossing. Mr. Craig was predeceased by his wife, the former Gertrude Busby, and his brother Robert died 18 years ago. With his two sons, Duncan and Fred, Mr. Craig became famous as a cougar hunter and Island guide. Besides his two sons he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. James Lochore of Craig's Crossing; Mrs. Harry Pack of Ocean Falls and one grandson, Bill Pack, of Ocean Falls.

Craig yr Aderyn (English: Bird's Rock) is a hill rising to a height of 258 metres (846 ft) above sea level on the south bank of the River Dysynni near Llanfihangel-y-pennant in the county of Gwynedd, north-west Wales.
The site is owned by the Snowdonia National Park Authority, lies entirely within the Craig yr Aderyn SSSI, and is named after the large number of birds, such as the great cormorant, that nest on the peak. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Cardigan Bay coast.
Building work on this dam started in 1897 and took 3 years to complete. It amazes me how such fantastic workmanship and engineering could take place without a mobile phone or tablet in sight.
