Icelandic horses have been isolated from horses elsewhere in the world for over 1000 years. This means that, though they are hardy and healthy in their own environment, their immune systems are extremely vulnerable to diseases from other places. The laws governing the movement of both horses and equine equipment are therefore exceedingly strict. Perhaps because of a lack of predators in Iceland, they are friendly and not easily spooked. They also have a special ambling gait - the tölt - which is said to have developed because of Iceland's rough terrain. They are relatively small, but they are generally referred to as horses rather than ponies.

Every Roman fort along Hadrian’s Wall, as well as elsewhere, had a parade ground where soldiers could train and parade for the inspection of the prefect.
On one side was a raised platform known as a tribunal, from which the prefect could inspect the troops. Alters and shrines to Jupiter, Mars and Victory would flank these platforms. Parade grounds might have had stakes set up on them. These were about the height of a man and against which the soldiers would practice using their weapons.
This scene depicts some of the Auxiliary units who were present on Hadrian’s Wall during the late second century / early third century AD. Auxillia were originally formed from frontier populations to fight in their homelands, using their local knowledge. However, following such events as the Revolt of the Batavi in AD 69, they were relocated to other parts of the Empire.
The infantry dressed in green are the Cohors I Tungorum Millaria, who were originally raised from the Tungri of Gallia Belgica (the area we know call Belgium). It fought under Agricola at the Battle of Mons Graupius in 83 AD and were stationed at Housteads following its reconstruction by Septimius Severus.
Archers were usually eastern in origin. During the second century the Cohors Hamiorum Sagittariorum were also thought to be stationed at Housesteads, The cohort was made up of Hamians, who were a Syrian tribe.
The cavalry are of the Cohors II Tungorum Millaria Equitata, who like the I Tungorum Millaria were ere originally raised from the Tungri. It is though the unit spent most of the second century stationed at Birrens, but by 241 AD had moved to Castlesteads.
Much like the last scene I posted (see here), this MOC probably has more to do showing off my army as it is about building. I have 20 light infantry, 8 cavalry and 7 archers.
During a visit to the new CHP Museum, I had the chance to practice with a new Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens. When I spotted these wings, I couldn't resist practicing my focus. The visit was too short, though and it turned out that there were other places to be that day. In retrospect, I might have had more time the next day to give my new lens proper justice. I always look forward for the chance to practice, here or elsewhere.

Wild donkeys are not everyone's cup of tea. But growing up, I always had a soft spot for such creatures.
Only recently, a hiker's life was saved by a pack of burros in Death Valley. The lone hiker had fallen victim to the demands of peak summer conditions, and developed rhabdomyolysis. Isolated and hopeless, the hiker observed a pack of feral donkeys and followed their tracks. The donkeys led the man to a vital water source, which sustained the hiker for 7 days before being rescued by rangers.
2018 has seen the mission to remove feral donkeys from the park and relocate them to sanctuaries elsewhere.

Hummingbirds love this flower. Native to Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America, it is a free branching, upright showy tropical shrub that grows to 3 m high with appressed reddish hairs, stout stems, and broad ovate 12–30 cm long dark green leaves with pink midrib. It is grown as an ornamental shrub in climates from warm temperate to tropical for its inflorescence, large erect heads of conspicuous crimson bracts, and two-lipped white flowers.

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother, can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me
I, I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it?
Rebuilding of the Arndale centre is still underway in the background. One of the local workers has taken advantage of the fenced off area to park his BMW 3 series. Elsewhere, in the background, the scaffolding of Birmingham firm, Richardson's is in place on the erstwhile Maxwell House building, in its transformation into The Print Works leisure complex.

*Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Forest Glade Gardens, a little fox tries desperately to find a hiding place.*
FREDDY: “Oh! Oh! Oh qu.. qui… quick! The h… hu… hunter and his m… me… mean dogs are after me.” *Trembles.* “The mean dogs can s.. sm.. smell me I’m sure! They are looking in my general direction. I’d better run and hide!” *Runs away from statue of dogs.*
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Freddy Fox is made by Merrythought in England. I bought him, of all places, from a men’s accessory shop in Melbourne’s Block Arcade, called Mr. Wares. Freddy Fox is made of English Mohair with felt paws and glass bead eyes. He has so much charm and charisma that already he is winning hearts with anyone whom he meets, and he is kind and sweet, which makes him an ideal member of our family.
The Forest Glade Gardens are well established European inspired landscaped gardens of six hectares that are to be found on the Mount Macedon Road in the hill station town of Mount Macedon.
The Forest Glade Gardens are just shy of one hundred years old. The gardens were originally two adjoining properties that comprised orchards and lush grazing paddocks. In 1941 local family the Newtons purchased and extended the property and set about creating one of Mount Macedon's most stunning gardens.
In 1971 the Forest Glade Gardens were acquired by Melbourne property developer Mr. Cyril Stokes who together with his partner Trevor Neil Bell, developed the gardens even further. Cyril was a great collector of European antiques, and his love of European antiquity is reflected in the gardens, particularly in the many classical marble and bronze statues dotted about the grounds.
Unfortunately the Forest Glade Gardens were partly destroyed by the tragic Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983. However, after many years of hard labour put in by Cyril and Trevor, The Forest Glade Gardens were reborn from the ashes. The gardens are built on a sloping block and consist of a range of terraces all of which offer wonderful vistas. A garden designed to give pleasure all year round, the Forest Glad Gardens contain several heritage listed trees and are made up of smaller themed gardens including; the Italian Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Daffodil Meadow, the Peony Walk, Hydrangea Hill, the Topiary Gardens, the Bluebell Meadow, the Fern Gully and the Laburnum Arch.
In 2011 the property was gifted to a registered charity - The Stokes Collection Limited - with the intention of keeping the Forest Glade Gardens maintained and open to the public.
The Mount Macedon township is located east of the Mount Macedon summit, which is approximately 60 km north-west of Melbourne.
The name of Mount Macedon is apparently derived from Philip II, who ruled Macedon between 359 and 336BC. The mountain was named by Thomas Mitchell, the New South Wales Surveyor General.
Settled in the 1850s by gold miners and timber cutters, the railway arrived at the Mount Macedon township in 1861, providing a vital connection to Melbourne, and sealing the town's future as a 'hill station' resort for wealthy Melburnians escaping the summer heat in the 1870s. With the land deforested, large blocks were sold and beautiful and extensive gardens were planted around the newly built homes. The rich soil and good rainfall also made the area suitable for large orchards and plant nurseries who could send fruit and flowers back to Melbourne. Newspaper owner, David Syme, built a house, "Rosenheim" in 1869. It was acquired in 1886 for Victorian Governors to use as a country retreat, making Mount Macedon an attractive destination for the well heeled of Melbourne society. A primary school was built in Mount Macedon in 1874, and as the decades progressed, hotels, guest houses, shops, a Presbyterian Church and Church of England were built. In 1983, Mount Macedon was devastated by the Ash Wednesday Bush Fires. A large portion of the town was raised, and a number of lives were lost. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, Mount Macedon has risen and rebuilt. Today it is still a popular holiday destination, particularly during spring time when the well established gardens flourish with flowers and in autumn when the exotic trees explode in a riot of reds and yellows.

In late January, it snowed in Pioneertown. And elsewhere, that meant that Los Angeles got rain to help the firefighters battle the apocalyptic fires. To create this night photo, I lit the subject with a handheld flashlight while the camera shutter was open for a long time.

Today is a special day.
First up, it’s the 4 year birthday of my photoblog, www.murphyz.co.uk. 4 years ago today I started posting images there, and after a month of daily posting I cut back to Monday thru Friday of posting a new image, so just 5 per week instead of 7. That has continued throughout. Through busy schedules, illness, travel and various other distractions, I have somehow managed to post an image without fail during the whole of that period.
I think that’s pretty awesome.
I've learnt a lot in the past 4 years, and improved greatly. I've met some amazing people, and made some great friends. I've also changed as a person. From someone who never used to like to travel, I've started to do a lot more of that. 4 years ago when I started the blog I had visited 5 foreign countries; by the time I finish the trip I'm currently on that total will be 34 countries…and that’s due to photography.
However, it’s now at an end. As the title of this post suggests, I will not…indeed I can not…continue to do the same. I’m not sure I’m learning anything through posting daily. I’m no longer finding that I am enjoying it in the same way as I used to either. Sure, I love being out there and taking photos, I love processing them, and I love to share them – however I can do all of that without having to post daily. There were too many times last year when I felt I had to post just for the sake of posting, and my heart wasn’t in those particular images. There’s one thing for creating something and sharing it because you want to, but it’s another thing when you are just going through the motions and creating something because you feel you have to. Quality suffers as a result.
I also want to free up more time to do other things. Work takes up a large portion of my life, and much of my ‘spare’ time in the past year has been travelling. In between those and trying to maintain some sort of social life I had tried to fit in photography and daily posting of images. That doesn’t leave time for much else, and there are lots of projects I wish to work on. If I can free up the hours I spend on processing and apply these elsewhere, I think that would be a great thing.
It’s not the end completely. I will still be posting images, they just won’t be daily any more. Chances are, if you follow me on the social network sites instead of the blog itself, then you may not notice any difference as I don’t post all of my images on sites other than my blog. However, I can’t guarantee when I’m posting. It won’t be daily, it may not even be weekly or monthly. I guess it just depends on how I feel, what I’m up to, where I go, and those kinds of things.
In one way it will be sad to stop. Part of me thinks ‘give it another year’ as 5 years seems like a better number to end on. However, as I’m typing this I’m feeling pretty pleased by it.
For the next 10 days I’m going to be spending time in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand – so the chances are these will be the next images you see from me once I’ve returned.
See you soon.

25195 and 25260 are seen departing from Chester General with the Fenman railtour on 7-10-78. They have just passed No4 signalbox. These were replacing 6000 King George V which had run a 'hot box'.
The confusion for me at least is that there were two tours that day with two different steam locos. One steam loco failure and I believe one diesel failure.
According to the SixBells Junction website 25195 + 25161 worked the Marches Venturer from Shrewsbury - Ruabon - Wrexham - Chester. 6000 worked from Hereford to Shrewsbury. 7029 then worked this train back to Hereford.
The Fenman tour which should have used 6000 now had to use diesels to return to Hereford. 25161 however appears to have had a significant oil leak so was replaced by 25260....... CONFUSED?
I have noticed elsewhere that comment has been made about the strange title for the special [The Fenman]. I thought I would suggest an explanation on the basis it seems the only possible explanation. Other offers greatfully received though.
Back in around 1969-70 a book was published by Ian Allan under the 'pen name' Fenman. I seem to remember there were about 6-7 'famous' photographers in the group. I'm not sure but I think it was called 'Images of Steam'. Although the 6000 Association were credited with organising this tour could some of the Fenman group have had a hand in it?
"Mascot of Maine"
Compared to most of the other locomotives I've published most recently, this one is a bit of an outlier. It's not the hotshot superpower found on the Nickel Plate, it's not wartime power like the Mohawk, and it's not part of the Age of Steam collection.
My love for 470 comes from elsewhere. Having been a New England resident for several years and having vacationed in most of those states, I've developed a soft spot for the region, especially the piney woods of Maine. I've also always enjoyed the idea of coastal railroading: a mix of maritime and railroad visuals produce interesting scenes. There's a concept for a layout module I've had for some time that would perfectly represent those thoughts.. Maybe someday I'll build it.
I'm also drawn to the Maine Central and 470 specifically due to the preservation and claim to fame of the locomotive; 470 operated the last steam-powered passenger train on June 13, 1954 and is the largest preserved steam locomotive in New England and Maritime Canada. After sitting on display for over six decades, the non-profit New England Steam Corporation acquired the locomotive in 2015 and has since relocated it to a purpose-built structure where volunteers actively work to restore the locomotive to operating condition.
Being a naturally good looking locomotive, not to mention the incredibly striking Maine Central "speed lettering" it carried, and being preserved and undergoing restoration wins 470 a spot in my heart.
I began my model in early to mid 2021. I know, quite a while ago. Chronologically this locomotive was designed around the time I was building and completing Grey Ridge 26. Work progressed through September 2021, at which point I tested an assembled and functioning model (minus rods and artwork) on some track on my apartment floor. Tests were satisfactory; no major issues found.
And then I let the project go for quite a while. In this incomplete state, 470 sat on my shelf until last year.
One of the bigger challenges I faced was designing a satisfactory rod and valve gear package for this engine. The cylinder design necessitated some new thinking and part design which is perhaps the main reason why I only completed the model in January 2024. Some of the valve gear components required as many as four iterations until they performed as desired. I guess the take-home point is that I got there. Better late than never, right?
I'm using a Power Functions L motor geared at a 1:1 ratio to XL.25 size drivers. Control comes from a Power Functions V2 IR receiver and power is a 7.4v battery from Tenergy - a staple of my newer locomotive designs.
XL.25 wheels almost deserve a post in their own right. I initially started designing this engine with the more commonly available XL.5 wheels (right in between XL and XXL wheels). I quickly found that the driver wheelbase and proportions of the model were entirely wrong. So, I bit the bullet and opted to design a unique set of drivers at an intermediate size - essentially 1/2 a plate larger in diameter than an XL driver. This allows for the proper wheelbase dimension and better overall proportion, and the wheel is closer to scale as well. Overall, it's more effort, but worth the result.
I'm satisfied with performance, having operated the engine running light on my floor for a couple hours and getting a full hour in a convention setting with a mid-sized train behind it. Even still, my goal from the start of this project has been to operate 470 with a powered baggage/RPO car to enable more prototypically long passenger trains. While it would be nice to have 470 handle an entire train alone, it wasn't practical to go with any alternatives - no more room in the boiler for an extra motor and the tender is too short to use train motor bogies. Compromise was made, but I'm far from unhappy.
I've modeled 470 as it looked on its final revenue run on June 13, 1954. I think this is, bar none, the prettiest model I've made in recent memory. My favorite thing about this engine is the way it looks with the Maine Central logo, striping, and accents on the rods and wheels. An incredibly unique look for a star locomotive. All artwork was done by Cale Leiphart with some assistance and references from Richard Glueck. All artwork is decals printed by OKBrickWorks. Thank you all, particularly Mr. Glueck, for your assistance with this project.
As always, I'm pleased to bring this one over the goal line. Having been in progress for several years now, it feels great to have this one complete and published for the public. Guess I need to design some passenger cars now.
