Pinhole image of a sliced pear on a gold-rimmed white plate. My third and latest attempt to photograph this particular subject; my first contribution to the Worldwide Pinhole Photograpy Day (#1443). This is the same pear slice as the one I have used for "Pear No. 2". By the time I took this picture the initially yellow-white pear flesh had oxidised and turned brownish, plus the skin had crumpled slightly inwards. Both of these natural changes had a positive effect on the overall outcome, giving the pear more structure, volume and outline. I have also reduced the exposure time from originally 6 hours (No. 1) and 5½ hours (No. 2) to 4½ hours (EV10), hoping the dish and its golden rim would show up better. This has worked to some degree, but quite obviously a white plate on a white table cloth is and remains a tricky subject. I would have been better off, exchanging the white table cloth with a somewhat darker fabric. Anyway, I do also like this version and I am learning quite a bit in the process. I read somewhere that Weston had exposed at least 50 negatives of peppers, so there’s quite a task ahead of me ;-). No worries though, if I have counted right, I have only 8 sheets of 8x10 DPP left. Taken with my homemade, foldable 8x10" Camera Obscura ("Stenopeica #1", 190mm, f.540) on Harman DPP (Direct Positive Paper, FB) and developed in Caffenol.
Direct Rail Services Class 68 68022 "Resolution" cruises through University with the 08:29 Swindon to Scarborough "York Moors Explorer". It was good to see an almost entirely BR blue and grey formation of loco hauled stock on a route that doesn't see much of it, this rake consisting mainly of Mark 2s with a Mark 1 kitchen vehicle. However, there was a single Anglia Mk 2 towards the end of the train.

Direction 'île Taquile à partir du lac Titicaca.
Le lac Titicaca, situé dans la cordillère des Andes, est traversé par la frontière entre la Bolivie et le Pérou. C'est le plus grand lac d'Amérique du Sud en volume d'eau1,2 et en longueur, mais pas en superficie (le lac Maracaibo couvre une superficie de plus de 13 000 km2). Il est aussi considéré comme le plus haut lac navigable du monde (altitude : 3 812 m)3, mais ce n'est rigoureusement exact que si on limite cette acception aux navires commerciaux de grande taille.
C'est par ce lac qu'est né la culture aimara avant la colonisation et la christianisation. Il existe une légende en relation avec ce lac : selon la légende le premier dieu Viracocha a surgit de ce lac et à créé le monde ainsi que toutes les civilisations des Andes.

Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. Samarkand is the capital of the Samarkand Region and a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlements Kimyogarlar, Farhod and Khishrav. With 551,700 inhabitants (2021), it is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan.
There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city dating from the late Paleolithic Era. Though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded, several theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China, Persia and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities in Central Asia, and was an important city of the empires of Greater Iran. By the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, it was the capital of the Sogdian satrapy. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BC, when it was known as Markanda, which was rendered in Greek as Μαράκανδα. The city was ruled by a succession of Iranian and Turkic rulers until it was conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1220.
The city is noted as a centre of Islamic scholarly study and the birthplace of the Timurid Renaissance. In the 14th century, Timur made it the capital of his empire and the site of his mausoleum, the Gur-e Amir. The Bibi-Khanym Mosque, rebuilt during the Soviet era, remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. Samarkand's Registan square was the city's ancient centre and is bounded by three monumental religious buildings. The city has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: embroidery, goldwork, silk weaving, copper engraving, ceramics, wood carving, and wood painting. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, which includes historical monuments, shops, and old private houses; and the new city, which was developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and includes administrative buildings along with cultural centres and educational institutions. On 15 and 16 September 2022, the city hosted the 2022 SCO summit.
Samarkand has a multicultural and plurilingual history that was significantly modified by the process of national delimitation in Central Asia. Many inhabitants of the city are native or bilingual speakers of the Tajik language, whereas Uzbek is the official language and Russian is also widely used in the public sphere, as per Uzbekistan's language policy.
Another Class 68 shot from 'the wrong side'...... but the sun side didn't give such a wide angle.... Operating the diverted 4S43, the 06:11hrs from Daventry to Mossend Euroterminal... the 'Tesco Express', passing through Killingworth....... with the marker and headlights on the correct frequency this time!
On the way home from work, I just happened to come across the diverted 4Z48, the 14:10hrs from Mossend Euroterminal to Daventry DIRFT, passing through Weetslade, Northumberland. The supply chain going as it always does - fast and efficiently.

Currently, the Chiltern 68s are slowly taking over, mostly appearing on the Banbury diagram. From 1st April 2015, the 68s are appearing on more and more diagrams. As of 11th May 2016, the 68s are fully deployed on Chiltern and enjoy a variety of work with DRS and also with Scotrail on the fife circle turn.

L249YOD was a Mercedes 709D / Plaxton Beaver B25F new as Plymouth City Transport number 249 in August 1993. Ten years later it passed to Travel Direct, and is seen in Paisley. The combined Hill/Hutchison Group fleet comprised of 31 vehicles which were broken down as follows:-
Ann Hill t/a Fairway Coaches 5 buses
Raymond Hill t/a Fereneze Travel 8 buses
William Hutchison t/a Travel Direct 6 buses
Pheonix Buses 12 buses.
The actual vehicles could move from fleet to fleet as required.
Another light engine movement, but this one is, and it isn’t! Technically, this is the 6K05 1246 Carlisle N.Y. to Crewe Bas Hall S.S.M. Network Rail engineering movement, but with nothing to shift, it ran as a light engine movement on Tuesday 5th July 2020.
Why run it if there is no load?
