45596 'Bahamas' digs into the climb past Blea Moor box with it's second railtour to Carlisle on 16th February 2019
The wind blew peacefully through the trees. Birds chirped, squirrels chattered, and the sound of leaves falling could be heard in the thick, beautiful forest of southern Lenfald. Bits of red and orange were beginning to appear in the treetops. The forest was changing, green was giving way to red.
Sir Glennian reflected on this as he and his companions treaded, almost silently, on the old forest road. So many things had happened recently, the once peaceful land of Roawia was now aching with the pains of conflict and turmoil, and the only plausible outcome seemed to be war. Loreos, only few miles walk southward, was now threatening invasion. Green did indeed seem to be giving way to red.
Sounds of people now reached Sir Glennian’s ears, and he saw they had almost reached their destination. As he came around a bend in the path, he saw it, not a hundred yards ahead of him. A deep hole had been dug in the center of the path, nearly fifteen feet deep, and men could be seen swarming around it.
“Foreman!” Sir Glennian shouted.
All the workers turned and noticed their visitors, and a stout man in a green cloak turned to greet them. He had a thick, curly, brown beard covering his smiling face, which was topped with thick, curly, brown hair.
“Ah, you are here at last!” He greeted them. “We have made much progress on the work. As you can see, the hole is over a dozen feet deep. Just an hour ago the blacksmith arrived with the spikes that will be stuck in the bottom. Then we will cover it with branches spread over with dirt, and the next Loreesi scum who comes through here-”
He broke off with a large wave of his hand, indicating the destruction the Loreesi would face.
Glennian nodded. “Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”
He looked forlornly down the path. Somewhere in that direction was a great desert…one in which war was brewing, a war that, he feared, Lenfald could never be completely ready for.

Well, I was going to enter this into the last Lenfald LC, but I obviously didn’t finish it in time. Congrats to Gary and Paul on the wins! ;)
Soli Deo Gloria! :)

This is the first of five photos that are inspired by the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.
Paleontologists identify a dinosaur bone still mostly encased in mudstone at one of the quarries in the Cretaceous Cloverly Formation on the Warm Spring Ranch just outside Thermopolis, Wyoming. The quarries are part of the Wyoming Dinosaur Center .
Winter storm Vulcan did not live long and prosper, but it did live long enough to dump over a foot of snow on Western NY. I went up the the LA&L the next morning in hopes of getting the road train popping through drifts at the grade crossings. The road power was used to put the previous days inbound train away in the yard and then the crew on the road power headed off to clean out switches along the line. I couldn't wait around for the train to leave. When I left home to go to work later that morning at 11am, I could see that the outbound road trains cars were still parked in Lakeville.
British gas are digging up the road near where i live in Llanberis,the road is going to be shut for three days while they carry the work out!
Some more experiments with yarn wefts. I’m not digging how tedious it is to brush out yarn but I did wanna see if I could give Romaine some different hairstyles.
I find you can get really glossy wefts if you spray a bit of water before using the straightener on it so it comes out much smoother.
I also tried adding ombre effects using pastels but they washed out when I ran it under water, so I tried blending different hair shades.
I’m pretty surprised how Romaine’s head is compatible with a few of my other bald guys….
So... this is my first attempt using smoke bombs. It came out better than I thought, considering I finished up the shoot pretty frustrated. It was also chilly out and I was being eaten by mosquitos before Nathan and I lit the bombs. (The smoke shooed them off).
Mannnn, imagine how good it'd look if I had the Mark iii. Poor baby.
Side note: My lungs were pretty unhappy to be sitting so close to the smoke... Hoping they don't end up suffering more than they had to...

Thankyou everyone for your Comments , Invites and Faves
»Kreideschrift« means something like “chalk typeface”. They intentionally added noise and irregularities here.
Dear flickr friends, I am so sorry to have been away so long. As is the story with all of corporate America, they laid off people in my department and then expect the rest of us, "lucky" to have jobs, to work 10 times harder. It has been rough. I will try to do better and keep uploading to flickr because I do love this site and connecting with all of you.
I finally took a day off a few days ago and had the most perfect day at the beach. We have not spent nearly enough time there this summer, so I hope to go back this weekend. I loved watching this cute little family digging for sandcrabs. In processing it, I was going for a dreamy, painterly effect.
I used the new Lensbaby Composer Pro and Florabella textures.
