Taken in bright sunshine , this is taken from the back doorstep looking at just one part of the Contorted Hazel ( Corylus avellana 'Contorta' ) in the garden . The camera is looking toward the sun hence the backlighting and the garden wall cutting off any direct light and a quick use of the slider the background was even darker .
A subject often taken and always it comes out different than before !!

Thought I would try a more iconic pose from Granada. I hope I have added enough spark to give it a fresh taste. Otherwise, as always, I have added in a narrative so you can wander through history from a different Point Of View.
On the shoulders of southern Spain is a Fortress that once ruled with supreme confidence. The kings believed that nothing would change as long as they were alive. And then one of them died and everything changed.
Now the fortress and palace are a walking garden for people with enough footprints to get there.
The proverbial flies on the walls have also passed on and so there really are only rumors of stories left to tell of this great kingdom and the daily lives of people who lived and prospered there.
I only know these stories from a direct descendant of a gnat who sat on the wings of a fly perched on the wall where a king and queen shared court with legends of old.
Some other direct descendants are still living so I cannot reveal everything the gnat told me but I can tell you this ... It was all amazing!
For instance, one Friday the eldest son walked past the jaguar fountain in the courtyard and asked his mother "Will I be a good King?"
The mother thought for awhile and spoke wisely "It really is up to the gnat on the fly's wings on the wall to know for sure...but I believe if it is written in the stars it will be so! " She smiled sweetly but he did not feel so self assured.
Years later, he did become King and breathed a sigh of relief.
But as many kings, he finally had to let go when the winds started blowing from the Northwest and new owners bought the property and asked him to leave.
It is rumored that he sat at this perch for many days looking back at his home and meditating on the amazing journey of his life and his temporal loss. Eventually he packed up his caravan and relocated to Morocco where he lived a prosperous and fruitful life but he was always the most proud of the beauty his family created with this grand monument.
When I came here, a few years later, I did not feel like a King nor a gnat on the wings of a fly on the wall. But I did taste history in the meal I ate on this same terrace and I can still smell the sweet scent of wisteria rising up in the heat and hear the breezes rustle and crackling leaves in the trees like a gnat dancing on the wings of a fly playing flamenco on the walls of the golden palace listening to conversations and passing it along to the next generation.
No matter what anyone says, History tastes better when it's warm and the view is hot!
DRS' 88010 'Aurora' and 68004 'Rapid' pass the along the sea wall at Saltcoats with 6M23 from Hunterston to Sellafield. This service is used to move nuclear material from the Hunterston nuclear power stations to Sellafield for processing.
Hunterston in North Ayrshire is home to 2 nuclear power stations - Hunterston A and Hunterston B.
Hunterston A operated between 1964 and 1990 and is in the process of being decommissioned by NDA licensee Magnox Ltd. The decommissioning process is planned to end in 2072 at which point the buildings will be demolished and site cleared.
Hunterston B - operated by EDF Energy - is still active having started operations in 1976. The station has managed to remain operational for longer than initially expected (decommissioning was due to start in 2011), but operations will cease within the next few months with the decommissioning process planned to start no later than the 7th of January 2022.
Within the last decade Hunterston B has gained media attention after it was discovered that the number of fractures in the reactors exceeded the operational limit specified in the safety case. The reactors were shut down while investigations were carried out and a revised safety case submitted to the regulator. Each of the 2 reactors were subsequently restarted in August 2020 and September 2020 respectively.
Alors que presque toute la France est sous les nuages, direction les Bouches-du-Rhône où le soleil résiste pour fuir le mauvais temps.
L'habituel train d'ordures ménagères en provenance de St Louis les Aygalades est vu à son heure habituelle dans la courbe de St Chamas. Il précède de peu un second train de déchets en provenance de la déchèterie de La Capelette en plein Marseille. C'est sur ces deux sites que convergent les ordures ménagères de Marseille, afin d'être conteneurisées et chargées sur train pour être acheminées vers l'incinérateur situé à Fos-sur-Mer.
Avec au moins un train par jour au départ des deux sites 7 jours sur 7, ce mode de transport évite des milliers de camions par semaine sur les routes saturées du département. Une courte distance sur laquelle le fret ferroviaire s'avère pertinent, répondant à la problématique de la congestion routière et d'écologie tout en assurant un bon niveau d'efficacité.
La traction des trains d'ordures est assuré par la Régie Départementale des Transports des Bouches-du-Rhône (RDT13), un Établissement Public à caractère Commercial et Industriel (EPIC) dépendant de la communauté de communes d'Aix-Marseille. La RDT13 est aussi Opérateur Ferroviaire de Proximité (OFP) dont le pôle ferroviaire réalise notamment des tractions de trains de fret sur le RFN. Avec 100 ans d'expérience dans le ferroviaire et 60 comme autocariste, la RDT13 est aujourd'hui un acteur majeur du transport dans le département avec plus de 500 salariés et un pôle route très développé.
Côté ferroviaire, la RDT13 transporte 400 000 tonnes de marchandises par an et s'est dotée de nombreuses activités qui ont permis son développement. En dehors des tractions sur le RFN, la RDT13 est aussi gestionnaire d'infrastructures sur un réseau de 130 km de voies. Par ailleurs, la société propose des prestations de maintenance de locomotives dans deux ateliers dédiés.

Offered once again as a comparison to the preceding image of Amtrak 662 which was captured at nearly the same angle over 23 years later. Amtrak 916 leads a regional consist east through Edison, NJ. Based on the time of day and consist, this may have been train 95, the Old Dominion. Back then trains still carried names, although the "Northeast Direct" designation (a precursor to today's Northeast Regional service) did appear in the timetable as well.

Eyes are organs of the visual system. They provide organisms vision, the ability to process visual detail, as well as enabling several photo response functions that are independent of vision. Eyes detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons. - Some eye have the power to stop time.
At the end of the opening credits of Roman Holiday, when it says Produced & Directed by William Wyler, it was shot at a similar angle as this at Piazza del Popolo.

The late 1980s threw up another of BRs quirky class 50 diagrams. For a while there was a scheduled Hoover working over the Portsmouth Direct line, 1P15, the 09:25 Waterloo - Portsmouth Harbour. From there the diagram took it on as 1V12 12:03 Portsmouth Harbour - Paignton
Although loco hauled services of any description were few and far between on the Portsmouth Direct line, few photos seem to come to light of this interesting working
