EWS Livery Class 66 66015 passes a dull Woodacre on a early running (115 mins Early at this point) on 6k27 1450 Carlisle New Yard - Crewe Basford Hall Yard on 25/09/2023
The Model 770 Amphicar (seen on the left side of the photograph above) was named after its ability to achieve speeds of seven knots in the water and 70 mph on land. 3,878 Amphicars were manufactured in Germany from 1961 to 1968. During that time 3,046 were imported into the United States. The Amphicar is rear-engined and uses a 4-cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43 hp. All Amphicars are convertibles, offered to civillians in four colors; Beach White, Regatta Red, Lagoon Blue, and Fjord Green (Aqua). Two American Presidents owned Amphicars; Jimmy Carter and Lyndon B. Johnson. President Johnson would invite friends and even foreign dignitaries to his Texas ranch for a joyride in his car.
Today, the Boathouse Orlando at Disney Springs is the only place in the world that offers the unforgettable & thrilling experience of a Captain’s Guided Tour in a vintage Amphicar. These rare cars drive on land and enter the water with a splash, taking you on a Captain Guided, 25-minute tour of the landmarks of Disney Springs. Their fleet of Amphicars were purchased from private collections worldwide – and less than 400 exist worldwide today.

Engineering Approach - If it works, don't fix it!
I wish I had some power tools for the job. The Cube has been very un-cooperative.
Now I've never ever made a color shot of the strobist setup, but this one is an exception. You really must see it (click on the link at the end of the description). And please leave a comment which one you prefer - this one or setup shot :)
Strobist info:
* Canon 20D | 17-40mm @ 17 | f/8 | 1/250s | RAW | SOOC

Architects James Gowan and James Stirling. My new favourite building (for the moment)! Great reflections in the recently renovated engineering block roof glazing. The slightly blotchy effect is due to the translucent fibreglass infill to the glazing units, all to match the original installation.
To produce the effects seen here I shot 310 frames each at 13 sec f/2.8 ISO 2000 using a Canon 6D and Sigma 15mm EX DG lens. I then stacked the images using StarStaX.
This is one of the world's largest curved wooden railroad trestles. Built of huge redwood timbers, the trestle is spectacular by any perspective, and almost sacred to railroad buffs. Towering more than 183 feet in height, and spanning more than 633 feet in width, the Goat Canyon Trestle was a triumph of engineering in 1932 and remains so today. This trestle was built after an earthquake destroyed one of the seventeen tunnels that were constructed along the track between 1907 and 1919. Rather than proceed through the same mountain that had the remnants of the previous collapsed tunnel, the railroad engineers elected to bridge Goat Canyon.
The San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railway Company is a short-line American railroad originally founded in 1906 as the San Diego & Arizona Railway (SD&A) by sugar heir, developer, and entrepreneur John D. Spreckels. Dubbed "The Impossible Railroad" by many engineers of its day due to the immense logistical challenges involved, the line was established in part to provide San Diego with a direct rail link to the east by connecting with the Southern Pacific Railroad lines in El Centro, California. The SD&A's 146.4-mile (235.61 km) route originates in San Diego, California and terminates in El Centro, California.
The company took over the SD&A's operations in February 1933 after financial troubles led John Spreckels' descendants to sell their interests in the railroad to the Southern Pacific. Through the years natural disasters and vandalism rendered sections of the line unserviceable, and portions of the line have been sold to various interests.
Around 2004, Carrizo Gorge Railway, Inc. spent millions of dollars repairing the tunnels, trestles, and more and trains begin running on the line once again. Only four years later, in 2008, the line was embargoed. Recently, however, Baja California Railroad has taken over control of this line and plans to restore freight train service sometime in 2018.
Some photographs take a little more effort than others. This is one of them.
Back in 2012, I photographed one of Osaka’s more unusual sights from a distance: the Hanshin Expressway (Ikeda Route), where an exit ramp passes directly through a building. It’s one of those pieces of urban engineering that feels almost impossible until you see it with your own eyes.
For this trip, I wanted to revisit the location, but with a different perspective. That meant spending quite some time researching possible vantage points and figuring out how I could get closer to the structure while maintaining a composition that showed just how remarkable it really is.
Eventually, I found my way into an office building across the street. The view was exactly what I had been looking for, but the conditions were far from ideal. The windows were covered in dirt and grime, leaving only a small clean section near the very top. Reaching it required some creative maneuvering and an almost impossible shooting position, balancing both camera and tripod in a way that probably looked rather ridiculous to anyone watching.
Despite the challenges, I'm quite pleased with the result. Sometimes photography is less about perfect conditions and more about persistence. Finding a way to make an image despite the obstacles often makes the final photograph all the more rewarding.

Two different models of car, from two different brands, each with their own different identites, business practises and values.
F: Suzuki Alto. B: Nissan Pixo.
This is also my first 'car pic' taken on my snazzy new phone.
This is an engineering unit with the capcity of emergency field repairs and extractions, it is seen as a sign of hope, and even if is not armed for heavy combat, the pilots skills make up for it.
It is piloted by the blademasters pilot's teacher, one of the last survivors of an ancient race, masters of ancient technology and martial arts.
This mech is based on evas, and I liked the idea of shoulder mounted toolbox instead of being a weapon holder, the fingers attach the tools for a great mad scientist look, and the back kits deploys for extra parts and processing power.
this is the only mech for this week sadly, I'm working on 2 more rigth now, might me done for next week hopefully.
So what do you think?
During a five year period, starting 01/01/17, I plan to take 365 "Revealing Detail" photographs covering every date in the year. The detais through these drill holes were in a disused factory unit in East Boldon, County Durham (now Tyne and Wear).
I turn my attention now to Lumphini Park, Bangkok's version of Central Park. When I arrived the electrics were being fixed

is shown at Marquette, IA, which was the only bright spot on a day where all the weather people missed the forecast and an area of low pressure literally developed right over my head.
This is certainly the best looking engineering car consist of the Class 1's.
CP GP20C-ECO 2227 has been assigned to this train since it was released from Gateway Transit Services in Granite City, IL several years ago.
To boldly go where no "fan" has gone before... you need a good warp and of course a clean and well maintained engineering room. So here's Scotty's kingdom where everything is possible even fixing the core with an old spoon ;D
I've taken a few pics of my bike since I've had it. Unfortunately I felt like none them captured it in a way where its beauty can truely be appriciated. Nothing like a little mechine glamour every now and then.

I forgot to mention that is the second version of TOS engineering room, the first one that appears in the first episode had no stairs and no second level.

was on my way to work this morning, i noticed this couple building their house ...
the place seemed to me little risky, if the water goes high...but what do i know?! They know better...
the shot is simple, i didn't like to disturb them and get closer...but i was wondering what are those genes telling these animals what to build how to build where to build??? I was amazed by the ability of the swan picking up reed and trying to cut others ...nature is amazing!

This one's for the car fans. Though I suspect only the rotary fans will fully appreciate this one.
This is the front yard of Fujita Engineering, one of the most renowned rotary workshops in Japan (if not the world). In the foreground is one of their famous FD RX-7s, behind, an FC, and a Cosmo.
In case you're wondering, rotary refers to the type of engine (not the piston type found in 99.99% of cars in the world), not a group of networking businessmen.
Osaka, Japan.
I hope this one shot explains why I haven't been around for a while.
You know the busiest one can be, yeah take that and multiply it by 10, that's how busy I am now, I just had to upload something because I feel that there is something missing in me when I don't photograph.
I honestly miss photographing so much, and miss you guys, wish me luck. =)
