As with most things in China, their highways are impressive. Beautifully built and with manicured gardens down the middle. Not so impressive is the traffic sense; what was this three wheeled vehicle doing in the centre lane on a three lane highway?
What was our bus driver thinking? Why fall in behind a slow moving three wheeled vehicle when he could have pulled out and passed it long before we caught up with and followed this red terror. China is a country of inexplicable contradictions encountered every day we were there.
Directly inspired from the Video game Driver San Fransisco, i simply felt the need to introduce you to this Vintage magnificent Dodge Challenger R/T 1970 , with a 383/440 cu in (6.3 L) "Magnum » V8 :)

I just loved that the taxi was sat there in almost perfect symmetry with the brutalist architecture of the former Royal Bank of Scotland cash reserve on West George Street, a veritable fortress that is now disused.
On the subject of money and transport - we are on the verge of an oil and energy crisis not seen since the 1970s. Let's be clear about it, if our lives start to fall apart from cost of living rises, energy shortages, water shortages (in the Middle East) and global supply chain issues, that this crisis was caused by just two old men hell bent on war and destruction. Make them accountable.
Take care in this insane world my Flickr friends.

The steam train had just pulled into Pickering station after it`s journey from Whitby, it then uncoupled from the other end and came back around here to couple up to pull back out, the driver engineer got down from his cab and walked to the back of the engine, I then had my shot, I have desaturated slightly for effect.
I did shoot a video on the R5 of the train arriving which would have been the first video I have done on it, it`s not brilliant but I may post it at some point.
Pulling into the parking lot at our doctor's office, I saw this cute black lab patiently sitting in the driver's seat of the car opposite me and intently watching the building entrance. It was a cloudy day in August, and due to tinted windshields, low light, and my rushing to an appointment, even my iPhone 13 couldn't get a good image. But, as so often happens, poor images make for fun sliding. So - here is Mr. or Ms. Black Lab, in a significantly transformed scene for Sunday.
I started with the PSE winters filter, which turned things mostly monochrome and a lot lighter. I then used several Jixipix filters: spektrel and portrait painter, to get the swirled look to the trees; saturated the green a bit in iMac photos; back to Jixipix for artista sketch and finally snow daze. I tried to put the original in the first comment box, but that doesn't usually work for me, so...
What is one thing the average driver can't stand? Well of course one answer could be a slow driver in the fast lane, Highway Patrol posted up in the most annoying spot possible, or maybe even that damn check engine light. However, the answer I was looking for was waiting for a train, and during this trip for the crew of a southbound, they would see three cars try to beat the train. One was a truck just south of Maxwell, which a buddy and I saw, another in Arbuckle, and then another here just outside Williams. However, this driver was particularly stupid.
Although my friend and I didn't see this happen as we were taking photos at the time, another friend who was one of the crew members explained to me what happened. As the train was approaching the crossing, a white SUV went around the gates in an attempt to beat the train, but then suddenly stopped. Although there was nobody in front of this car, whoever was driving then proceeded to backup almost into the gate, and due to the angle of the crossing got within only a few feet at most of being hit, narrowly avoiding an expensive and embarrassing trip to the auto shop. The crew obviously was pissed, and the conductor got out to yell at the driver as they passed by. It was only after the power had passed that my friend and I on the ground noticed the SUV, and we laughed knowing well that driver probably needed a new pair after that.

P.S.: The driver is not this funny being on the left side!

A boat ride on the Irrawaddy river will take you to Mingun. This is a must see in the Mandalay area. From the beginning this is an amazing adventure. Getting to one's boat crossing the bows of several others and hanging onto hands and bamboo poles offered by boatmen is an exhilarating start. Once on board the ride is peaceful and the views pastoral. From the pier you can either walk to the Paya or take an ox cart marked as taxi. The Paya is a Buddhist temple. As we arrived at Mingun the enormity of the temple becomes apparent, but until you are standing next to it it is hard to comprehend. The Mingun Pagoda is a massive unfinished pagoda built at the end of the 18th century, that was meant to be the largest pagoda in the country. This unfinished behemoth was supposed to be seen from a distance to demonstrate the kings power, but alas it was never finished. Two large earthquakes did considerable damage to the Mingun Pagoda. During the 1838 earthquake the heads of the giant Chinthes broke off and rolled into the Irrawaddy river. The Hsinbyume Pagoda, also called the Myatheindan Pagoda, lies in the north of the town of Mingun, very close to the stupa of Mingun Pahtodawgyi. The pagoda, which is snow white in color, resembles the description of Mount Meru which is a Buddhist, mythological mountain. The architecture of the pagoda deviates significantly from the Burmese model of pagodas. This is truly worth a half day, just to get out of the city.
Arrived at the Mingun Pier you can either walk to the Paya or take an ox cart marked as taxi. The friendly old driver showed us around and took us to Mingun Pagoda, The Pondaw Pagodam, The Mingun bell and Hsinbyume Pagoda. The white Hsinbyume Pagoda can only be entered by bare feet. This large pagoda on the northern side of Mingun built in 1816. The pagoda was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1836 and was restored by King Mindon in 1874.
De Irrawaddy of Ayeyarwady is de belangrijkste rivier van Myanmar. Met een lengte van ruim 2170 kilometer is het ook één van de grootste rivieren van Zuidoost-Azië. De rivier stroomt van noord naar zuid door Myanmar, vanaf het gebergte van de Himalaya naar de Andamanse Zee, waar de rivier een 300 kilometer brede rivierdelta vormt. De rivier wordt ook wel de Road to Mandalay genoemd. Al ongeveer 1200 jaar vormt de rivier de levensader van het land. Vele steden, waaronder een van de voormalig hoofdsteden van Myanmar, Mandalay, zijn aan de rivier gelegen. Veel van deze steden zijn nog steeds voor het grootste deel van hun handel afhankelijk van de rivier. Naast dit belang voor de scheepvaart is de Irrawady ook een belangrijke visgrond voor de bevolking. Ook zijn duizenden hectaren landbouwgrond in de nabijheid van de rivier afhankelijk van het rivierwater voor irrigatie van de gewassen Een relaxte bootreis van ruim een uur brengt je vanuit Mandalay in Mingun. Bij de pier namen we de lokale taxi een ossenkar! De vriendelijke "chauffeur" bracht ons naar alle bezienswaardigheden. Zoals de plaats waar ’s werelds grootste tempel had moeten staan. De plotselinge dood van koning Bodawpaya in 1819 maakte echter een abrupt einde aan de Birmese bouwlust. Een aardbeving in 1838 bracht nog meer onheil. Ondanks alle onheilstijdingen is het schouwspel vanaf de boot op Mingun Paya nog immer bijzonder indrukwekkend te noemen. Dit bouwwerk, door zo’n twintigduizend slaven gemaakt, is na de dood van de toenmalige koning nooit afgemaakt door zijn 122 kinderen. De grootste koperen bel ter wereld kreeg na de aardbeving een nieuw onderdak. De bel is vier meter hoog en heeft een omtrek van vijf meter. De grote witte Hsinbyume Pagoda aan de noordelijke kant van Mingun is gebouwd in 1816. De pagode werd zwaar beschadigd door een aardbeving in 1836 en werd gerestaureerd door koning Mindon in 1874.
Not sure whether this driver is suitably qualified! Grab is the local taxi app - Thailand's version of Uber
This is a very busy crossing that can turn a ten minute journey into town into a twenty minute journey.
