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.
L’église actuelle a été construite de 1863 à 1868, d’après les plans et sous la direction de l’architecte Théodore Ballu, peu après le percement du « boulevard du Prince-Eugène » (ancien nom du « boulevard Voltaire »). Le premier office a lieu le 21 mars 1869. La bénédiction des cloches se déroule le 29 avril en présence de l'impératrice Eugénie, qui est marraine de l'une d'elles.
Son style est un mélange du néogothique, néoroman et néobyzantin, très en vogue à cette époque, notamment dans la capitale française. Ses deux flèches élancées rappellent celles de certaines cathédrales.
L'église Saint-Ambroise a été construite dans un style hybride et éclectique, parfois appelé « style Second Empire », qui marie le néo-roman avec quelques éléments du néo-gothique. Ce mariage rappelle les églises de l'apogée du roman comme l'église de l'abbaye aux Hommes de Caen, qui présente deux tours romanes aux flèches gothiques. Elle est construite en pierre dure de l'Yonne et de la Meuse pour les fondations, les tours et les piliers et en moellons issus des carrières de Saint-Maximin pour le remplissage.
L'église, longue de 87 mètres et large de 37 mètres su transept, possède deux clochers identiques de 68 mètres de haut, soit d'une taille pratiquement équivalente à celles des tours de Notre-Dame de Paris. Les flèches octogonales sont flanquées de quatre pinacles et sont terminées par une croix en fer surmontée d'une girouette en forme de coq.

Mardi 8 février 2022, étant de passage à Roanne, petit détour sur la Loire afin d’immortaliser quelques trains. Le dernier train surpris en ce beau jour hivernal est le train Sibelin St Germain des Fossés 75018. Il est composé en ce jour là d’une habituelle UM de 75400 et de tombereaux qui seront chargés de Feldspath chez Imerys à Lavaufranche et iront ensuite à Modene en Italie.

Spaniels are renowned for their intelligence, loyal nature, and expressive features, which translate beautifully into black and white photography. The detailed contrast highlights the soft texture of the feathered ears, weathered nose, and attentive eyes.

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.

Venice Beach, Venice, Los Angeles (California, USA). Martedì, 5 aprile 2016.
I was walking around the beach at sunset with my Polaroid, looking for a nice scene with the ocean, the sun going down... but nothing stood out.
While I was going back to where I came from, I met this group of guys playing football. One of them looked at the Polaroid and started doing that face "Oh, cool camera! Take us a picture!". I just replied: "If you'd just were playing by the ocean...".
This shot is the direct result of his answer: "Well, let's do it!".
Thanks again Sean, Joshua, Dante and Melik!

As of the 2025 timetable, started on 15th of December 2024, the Eurocity Direct (train series 9500) has started running from Lelystad Centrum to Brussels-Zuid/Midi (B) - 16 round trips per day - the first and last 2 departures from Amsterdam-Zuid. This Tuesday I was on the Praambult to record 2 services. The first service is run with an ICNG-B = ICNG qualified to run in the Netherlands and Belgium.
NSR ICNG-B passes along the Praambult at the Oostvaardersplassen on its way from Lelystad Centrum station to Almere Centrum servicing Eurocity Direct 9544 from Lelystad Centrum to Brussels-Zuid/Midi station (B).

I thought it would be fun to show the direct comparison between two similar setups!

I took a shot of this striped lynx (Oxyopes salticus) mama the other day using my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 1:1 Macro. Today, I found the same gorgeous girl still guarding her egg clutch, so I snapped a remarkably similar shot using my Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 1:2 Macro paired with a 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter.
Right away, you can see the difference in color reproduction. The word I keep finding is "flat". The depth of the greens, and the subtle undertones of the browns and darker shades are just missing! This Phoenix lens is a really stellar lens, but can't compare frame-for-frame with the Komine 90mm. It's also worth noting the overall level of clarity!
When you zoom in, you can start to see the difference in resolving power pretty clearly. The Phoenix does a darn good job for a stack of glass in a plastic shell, but the shot captured using my Komine a few days back is much sharper on individual details. Both shots are captured at 1:1, but magnification rate does not always mean the image is worth magnifying!
Of course, both of these lens setups are literally decades behind the times and rendered fully obsolete by modern mirrorless cameras, insane 15 frames per second burst modes, and focus peaking, but it's fun to show the budget side of the hobby! You can 100% capture worthwhile images without modern gear and guided trips, you just have to learn your equipment!
This comparison was brought to you at 1:1 by my plastic fantastic Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 Macro, attached to a Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter. This photo is uncropped. This lovely little lady is around 6-7mm long!

On the other side of the fence, Mr. Zoom and I crossed the street to get a better look at the building from which we'd just escaped. I was happy to see that Mr. Z's eyes were clear again. He asked if I still had the paper I'd pulled out of the one-fingered hand. I patted the pockets of my pants. Yes! But only part of it.
We stood huddled together, trying to find a clue in the words. If we were to believe the Statue of Liberty, Demi only had to look for the signs to find her other half. Originally we were just humoring Demi, helping her with her quest. But now we felt that if we followed the signs we might find her.
Part of a headline remained. We read it together at the same time...out loud.
ines Contribute to City's Demi (and the paper was torn here)
Huh? City's Demise was a good guess as to the rest of the headline. But what about the beginning?
A bit of wind ruffled the paper in my hand and my eyes were struck by the words etched in the sidewalk.
IN DIRECT LINE WITH ANOTHER and THE NEXT.
Mr. Zoom and I looked at each other, puzzled, and in a way, more frightened than we were with the Bruce Lee look-alike bearing down on us. Could the partial headline and these odd words have a connection to each other....and to Demi?

Does anyone else's head hurt?
This is the continuing story of Demi Less and her quest to find her other half. The quest has led her...and us, from Virginia to New York City. If you are just joining us, you might want to read Part 1. Start at the last photo and move forward.

Well, I think we have a bit of a winner here! Taking a few tips and tricks from other photographers, I have a roll that I'm honestly happy with from the start. I shot these at ASA-3 and developed them in a cold mix of 1+1 Classic MQ for six minutes. Yes, there's still a base fog, and the negatives were thin, but they scanned in beautifully!
The full review drops September 2026!
