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. =)

It was hard to decide which to enter the contest with, but I went with this shot instead.
When its too cold for me out there with a camera I spend time in my nice warm workshop doing stuff like this. The model is to 1/6 scale and based on a machine I have. Model length 6 inches. Materials used are true to the origional.
"Surgeons' Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland, is the headquarters of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSED). It houses the Surgeons' Hall Museum, and the library and archive of the RCSED. The present Surgeons' Hall was designed by William Henry Playfair and completed in 1832, and is a category A listed building.
Surgeons' Hall Museum is the major medical museum in Scotland, and one of Edinburgh's many tourist attractions. The museum is recognised as a collection of national significance by the Scottish Government.
The museum reopened in September 2015, after being closed for an eighteen-month period of redevelopment.
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was incorporated in 1505, when it received its Seal of Cause or charter and became styled as 'The Incorporation of Surgeons and Barbers of Edinburgh'. The Museum at Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh dates from 1699 when the Incorporation announced that they were making a collection of ‘natural and artificial curiosities’. and advertised for these in the first edition of a local paper, the Edinburgh Gazette. Daniel Defoe, an early visitor in 1726, wrote in his Tour thro' the whole Island of Great Britain that the 'chamber of rarities' contained many curious things too numerous for him to describe. Much of this early collection was given to the University of Edinburgh in the 1760s.
By the early years of the 19th Century, the Incorporation had received a Royal Charter to become the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. The College saw its primary role as the teaching of anatomy and surgery, the training of surgeons, and examination of their acquired knowledge. Anatomy and pathology specimens were crucial to that function. The museum expanded dramatically with the acquisition of two large collections. John Barclay, a successful anatomy demonstrator in the extramural school of medicine donated his collection, while Sir Charles Bell, Professor of Surgery in the University of London and latterly in the University of Edinburgh sold his collection to the museum. These collections were much too large to be housed in the original 1697 Surgeons' Hall, and so the surgeons commissioned the leading Edinburgh architect William Playfair to build the present day Surgeons Hall, which opened in 1832. At first the entire upper floor of the building was devoted to the museum collections, which were open to the public and attracted large visitor numbers. Throughout the 19th and early 20th century the collection expanded as it became customary for surgeons and pathologists to donate not only specimens which they regarded as interesting or instructive, but surgical instruments and equipment. With the great scientific and technical advances of the time, the museum began to acquire anaesthetic equipment, histology slides, X-rays and photographs.
Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbərə/; Scots: Edinburgh; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Èideann [ˈt̪uːn ˈeːtʲən̪ˠ]) is the capital of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. Historically part of the county of Midlothian (interchangeably Edinburghshire before 1921), it is located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore.
Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the supreme courts of Scotland. The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the monarch in Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, philosophy, the sciences and engineering. It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom (after London) and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most visited tourist destination attracting 4.9 million visits including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018.
Edinburgh is Scotland's second most populous city and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. The official population estimates are 488,050 (2016) for the Locality of Edinburgh (Edinburgh pre 1975 regionalisation plus Currie and Balerno), 518,500 (2018) for the City of Edinburgh, and 1,339,380 (2014) for the city region. Edinburgh lies at the heart of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland city region comprising East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.
The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of four in the city, is placed 20th in the QS World University Rankings for 2020. The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999." - info from Wikipedia.

DBZ2306 "Shire of Dardanup" sitting outside the shed at Picton, Rail Complex, Bunbury WA awaiting either work or attention.
DBZ 2306 "Shire of Dardanup" is the ex DB1586, (Build No. 81-994/ 1982).
The 12 DB class locos were built for WAGR (later Westrail), by Clyde Engineering at Rosewater, NSW (2,000hp, Co-Co, 1982-1983, 108tons, 90kmh).
With the Westrail sale to Genesee & Wyoming's ARG in 1997 and QR Rail (later Aurizon), buying ARG in 2006, there have been plenty of owner changes, with more to come.
DBZ 2306 was sold in December 2017, stored and out of use by Aurizon to CBH - Co-Op Bulk Handling WA.
It was in the Wheatbelt at Beverley as a backup loco and parts donor.
In January 2024 after a South African export deal fell though, all 10 CBH owned DBZs were sold to Watco Australia.
Only DBZ2301 is active with Watco. The the other 9 stored locos moved in February 2024 to the Wheatbelt Heritage Rail Centre, Minnivale.
Still there in October 2025 awaiting their fate.
These pictures were taken with my brand new Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 wide angle lens and I was just having some fun. The location for these pics is the University of Illinois, particularly the Main and Engineering Quad.

This is a laser cut piece of steel we keep in Civil Club, which represent the VW shell of UBC Engineering. UBC engineers are famous for their pranks on Engineering week. Every year on the first day of Engineering week, UBC undergrad engineers hang a VW shell with a red E on it from a bridge! Where? Who knows, it could be our beautiful Lions Gate Bridge, or Golden Gates of California! I know it's not the best prank, but it has turned into a tradition since decades ago.
E week is in February, but I'm studying too much E-material these days that I liked to post this.
Hopefully this year, in Feb, I will take pictures of the hung VW from "a bridge"!

Speaking of engineering and bulky costumes. "Iron Man" is another interesting challenge. I've read that it's taken the designers of the "real" costume three movies to figure out how to make the armor work without pinching the hell out of the actor.
So the challenge for cosplayers is to make it lightweight, comfortable, practical, and affordable. Like all engineering challenges, it's always a question of "how do we define the goal of this project?" and then giving yourself the freedom to jettison ideas and features that you "want" instead of "need," if necessary.
What good is a rigid costume that you can wear for about 27 minutes before you cry "uncle"? I've seen people in chain-mail suits who looked — what a surprise — like they were carrying 72 pounds of metal all over their bodies. Hardly happy campers and you rarely see them twice on the same day.
This set of Iron Man armor is made of foamcore, it seems, and it looks great. Would it fool you into thinking it's the movie costume? Of course not, but that's not really the goal of cosplay. It hits all of the design points, it's well-executed, and you can look at it without thinking "Oh, that poor, poor man..."

After years of working in this style I have only recently come to realize the heavy influence of the pictorialists. My favorite pictorialist is William Mortensen(WM), but that's likely because I'm a little uncertain as to who was most influential in the movement.
The new art is based on refinements I've made to my process after gaining a better understanding of WM's own process. He worked primarily in B&W, but liked the gum-bichromate processes too. For these, I took the ideas and techniques and moved them into my own color-space. I love the subtly and grace of where this approach leads me.

Major engineering work to renew Stoats Nest Junction (Coulsdon) has led to main London-Gatwick-Brighton line being blocked from Christmas to New Year.
Alternative routes advertised include trains running to Gatwick via Sutton, Dorking and Horsham ; to Brighton via Dorking, Horsham and Littlehampton ; fast trains to East Grinstead for bus connections to Gatwick and Three Bridges ; and buses linking Coulsdon Town (on the Tattenham Corner branch) with Redhill, Gatwick and Three Bridges.
The Coulsdon Town service has provided a use for the crossovers and signals installed to facilitate terminating trains that were installed when Coulsdon North was closed. However, the facility has not been regularly used for many years.
Buses from Coulsdon Town were operated by Go-Ahead London General with a mixture of vehicles, many running non-stop via the M23 motorway to Gatwick or Three Bridges. The stopping services to Redhill I saw were being operated by Metrobus who are of course also a Go-Ahead company.
Plenty of rail and Go-ahead staff were on site to assist passengers with luggage of which there seemed to be a great deal.
It was probably as well that there were no school services required as this meant spare buses and crews were available ; including work for the Tridents with LED destination displays which cannot, of course, operate TfL services.

The Rendsburg High Bridge (in German: "Rendsburger Hochbrücke") with its suspension ferry (in German: "Schwebefähre") crossing the Kiel Canal (in German: "Nord-Ostsee-Kanal") on the left, Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Some background information:
The Rendsburg High Bridge (officially: "Eisenbahnhochbrücke Rendsburg") is a railway viaduct on the Neumünster–Flensburg line that also serves as a transporter bridge. The bridge, which is made out of steel, crosses the Kiel Canal at Rendsburg in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is owned by the Federal Water and Navigation Administration that also owns and runs the canal.
The Kiel Canal (formerly known as the "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal") is a 98 km (61 miles) long freshwater canal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The canal was finished in 1895, but later widened. It links the North Sea at Brunsbüttel to the Baltic Sea at Kiel-Holtenau. An average of 460 km (290 miles) is saved by using the Kiel Canal instead of going around the Jutland Peninsula. This not only saves time but also avoids storm-prone seas and having to pass through the Danish straits. The Kiel Canal is one of the world's most frequented artificial waterways with an annual average of 32,000 ships (90 daily), transporting approximately 100 million tons of goods.
The first connection between the North and Baltic Seas was constructed while the area was ruled by Denmark–Norway. It was called the Eider Canal and used stretches of the Eider river for the link between the two seas. Completed during the reign of Christian VII of Denmark in 1784, the Eider Canal was a 43 km (27 miles) part of a 175 km (109 miles) waterway from Kiel to the Eider river's mouth at Tönning on the west coast. It was only 29 m (95 feet) wide with a depth of 3 m (9.8 feet), which limited the vessels that could use the canal to 300 tons.
After 1864, the Second Schleswig War put Schleswig-Holstein under the government of Prussia (from 1871 the German Empire). A new canal was sought by merchants and by the German navy, which wanted to link its bases in the Baltic and the North Sea without the need to sail around Denmark. In June 1887, construction started at Holtenau, near Kiel. The canal took over 9,000 workers eight years to build. In 1895, emperor Wilhelm II officially opened the canal for transiting from Brunsbüttel to Holtenau. The next day a ceremony took place in Holtenau, where Wilhelm II named the waterway the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal (after his grandfather, emperor Wilhelm I), and laid the final stone.
To cope with the increasing traffic and the demands of the Imperial German Navy, between 1907 and 1914 the canal was widened by Germany to allow dreadnought battleships to pass through. Two larger canal locks in Brunsbüttel and Holtenau were installed to complete the enlargement. After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles required the canal to be open to vessels of commerce and of war of any nation at peace with Germany, while leaving it under German administration. Only the United States opposed this proposal to avoid setting a precedent for similar concessions on the Panama Canal. The government under Adolf Hitler repudiated its international status in 1936, but the canal was reopened to all traffic after World War II. In 1948, its current name was adopted.
The canal is governed by detailed traffic rules. Each vessel using the canal is categorized into one of six traffic groups according to its dimensions. Larger ships are obliged to accept pilots and specialized canal helmsmen, in some cases even the assistance of a tugboat. Furthermore, there are regulations regarding the passing of oncoming ships. Larger ships may also be required to moor at the bollards provided at intervals along the canal to allow the passage of oncoming vessels. All permanent, fixed bridges crossing the canal since its construction have a clearance of 42 m (138 feet).
Maximum length for ships passing the Kiel Canal is 235.50 m (772.6 feet), with the maximum width (beam) of 32.50 m (106.6 feet). These ships can have a draught of up to 7.00 m (22.97 feet). Ships up to a length of 160.00 m (524.93 feet) may have a draught up to 9.50 m (31.2 feet). The bulker Ever Leader (deadweight 74,001 t) is considered to be the cargo ship that to date has come closest to the overall limits.
When the Kiel Canal was built, it cutted through existing traffic lines including the railway line between Neumünster and Flensburg for which two parallel swing bridges were erected. Main railway lines had right of way over ships on the canal and ships had to stop, losing about half an hour when a train passed. This was considered the major obstacle as the ships were unable to overtake and could pass each other at dedicated enlarged areas so that the traffic on the entire canal was hampered. Especially the navy pressed for a separation of traffic flows as closed bridges could delay flotillas by several hours.
In order to allow the railway line to pass above the canal, the new railway bridge was to have a clearance of 42 metres over the canal's mean water level. It was erected between 1911 and 1913 to a design by the civil engineer Friedrich Voss and replaced the earlier swing bridges. The steel viaduct has a length of 2,486 metres (8,156 feet) and is supplemented by embankments that bring the overall length of the structure to about 7.5 kilometres (4.7 miles). The cantilever main bridge is 317 metres (1,040 feet) long, has a main span of 140 metres (460 feet).
To serve Rendsburg station, situated at ground level only a couple of hundred metres from the main bridge, the railway line is routed through a large 360-degree loop on the north bank of the canal. The total cost of the construction, including the relocation of railway lines but excluding work related to the elevation of Rendsburg station, was 13.4 million Mark Today, this figure would correspond to roughly 66 million Euro. It included 5.7 million Mark for bridges, 2.7 million Mark for the mounds and 1.3 million Mark for underpasses and the relocation of roads.
The suspension ferry is already in operation since the bridge’s opening in 1913. Since then even its timetable was never changed. It runs daily every 15 minutes from early morning until late at night. It covers a distance of 125 metres (410 feet) within 1½ minutes and provides the shortest connection between the municipality of Osterrönfeld and the town of Rendsburg. As this means of transportation is especially useful to students on their way to school, larger maintenance work that requires suspension of service is coordinated with school holidays.
The gondola is fourteen metres long and six metres wide, and travels six metres above the canal. In recent years the nominal transport capacity has been reduced from six to four automobiles in order to factor in increased car size and weight. While the gondola is equipped with nautical equipment such as radio, radar and life-rafts, there is no prerequisite for the operator to hold a master's licence for inland navigation.
The suspension ferry met with two major accidents: During a storm in 1993, the unmanned and unlit gondola broke loose at night, was blown over the canal and collided with a ship. But both ship and gondola suffered only minor damage. In 2016 the gondola of the transporter bridge collided with the general cargo ship Evert Prahm and was heavily damaged. Two people, the waterman and the only passenger, were injured. After that, the suspension ferry was demounted and moved to a shipyard, but was found to be irreparably damaged. Construction of its replacement (optically almost true to original) began in 2020 and service resumed in 2022.
At the time, the Rendsburg High Bridge was built, it was regarded as a prime example of the German art of engineering. In 2013, it was awarded a "Historic Icon of German art of Engineering" (in German: "Historisches Wahrzeichen der Ingenieursbaukunst in Deutschland") by the German Chamber of Engineers and hence, also by the Federal Government of Germany. By the way, whenever a ship passes through the Rendsburg High Bridge, it is welcomed by a loudspeaker announcement, the sound of a bugle and last but not least the national anthem of the country, under whose flag it sails. You can imagine that watching the different ships passing by is quite entertaining.
