I once photographed lots of trains crossing the Fifteen Arches, Northampton, but rarely use the location now, especially not in the summer due to excessive tree growth and foliage. However, on the 31st of July 2014, I was here anyway to photograph a boat, and to check out a couple of swims to go fishing! On the way back to the car, 90049 was due imminently with 4L97 Trafford park-Felixstowe, and I guess it would have been rude not to wait a couple of minutes to take a photo.

Day 15 and you can save 15% on a decorating set at Screwfix :)
Yesterday, the OH had to go to Screwfix, which wasn't far from the 14 I wanted to snap. As it was raining, he drove, and then whilst I was sat in car outside Screwfix, I spotted this sign, and so walked back this morning to nab it :))
From 40 Degrees Fahrenheit To 55 Degrees Fahrenheit! Only picture out of sequence is the one in upper left. I didn't want to do the whole thing over again! All swims completed in Lime Lake near Spring Arbor, Michigan.
Blasting quickly towards the Twentieth Century, Marysville was a small but booming mining town… and on the fast track to success. During the 1880's and 90's, Marysville was one of Montana's leading gold producers and the population quickly grew to over 4,000 people in the immediate area.
February 1881 saw the opening of the Marysville Post Office and soon, many new small businesses began to spring up all around the area. During the next fifteen years, the town would boast not one, but several, well stocked dry-good outlets, grocery and drug stores, confectionaries, competing quality restaurants, boot and shoe shops, a bank, tailor shops, a couple of livery stables, jewelry shops, a lumber yard, fresh garden and meat markets, a new furniture store, grain stores, and a bakery. As the town rushed into the future, the later 1880's saw construction of the town's electric company. The opera house was soon fitted with new electric lights, courtesy of Mr. Edison, and the town seemed to prosper.
Into the mid-1890's, there were two convention halls, hardware stores, a tin shop, various weekly newspapers, plus at least a dozen saloons and bars. There were also three churches, several lodges, black smith shops and even two doctors. To deal with the influx of visitors, over half-dozen hotels; including the Peterson and Drumlummon Hotels were built. A school would eventually be constructed which saw over 250 children. Western Union, regular train and stage services were all in full operation by 1894.
There are still quite a few peolple living there.
Augustus Hunt Wright by Allen of Boston, Mass. Wright began his Civil War service as a private in the Second Massachusetts Cavalry. He later served in the Forty-second Massachusetts Infantry and the Twenty-fourth U.S. Colored Infantry. A sketch of his life, from the Biographical Review Volume XVIII Containing Life Sketches of Leading Citizens of Plymouth County Massachusetts: (p. 94)

He served two years, and was commissioned at the age of eighteen First Lieutenant of the Twenty-fourth United States Colored Infantry. After receiving his discharge from the army he was an Inspector in the Internal Revenue Service and stationed in Boston three years; for about three years he was superintendent of the lumber yard of George Curtis in Boston; and then he followed farming at West Roxbury, Mass., until 1879, when he became a resident of Abington.

Money Photograph money. Make it interesting.
I had this great idea to do some money origami. I found the pattern online and spent two days trying to get it to work out right. I have come to the conclusion that I suck at origami. Then of course I see the shot that sungazing did which was the last nail in the coffin. The only origami that I can do turns out to be paper airplanes.
Since we seem to be throwing away money in this country left and right, I figured I'd toss a little myself.

I really didn't have a layer of gorilla hair on my forearm - although the photo makes it looks like that. lol
This photo was taken on a Polaroid Swinger camera.
I'm starting a set of these soon - but not yet.

the first LE for yonks and yonks. Just enough (chilly) breeze to trouble the flower heads into moving

Was in London for the day, half the day in the end, but that's another story.
Early on, thick mist and fog hid the naked city from us, as we prepared to leave, the skies cleared and we were treated to this view. As impressive as it is, shocking when compared to the City skyline of 1987 when I first snapped it, or before even the Nat West Tower was built.
With the DB Cargo Class 92 fleet down to one working locomotive (036) and two out of service (011 and 019) at Dollands Moor on the morning of 7 July, the return of 92041 and 92015 from Crewe ETD was a very welcome sight.
92041 "Vaughan Williams" had been at the ETD for a long-weekend for a C Exam and tyre-turning.
92015, however, had been out of action for much longer. Having suffered wheelset damage at the tunnel in late February it was eventually moved by road to Crewe in late April to be repaired.
Arriva Trains Wales-liveried Class 67, 67001 was performing the towing honours for the Dysons on 0A06, with the last remaining Wrexham & Shropshire / Chiltern-liveried Skip 67012 on the rear ready to be the taxi home from Wembley for the Crewe driver. 67001 then took the two 92s on to Dollands as 0B71.

Short, daytime long exposure from my iPhone. Camera was balanced on some pebbles and I found an old sock on the beach that meant I didn't have to scratch the metal rim of my phone (trying to keep it tip-top as I have no upgrade plans for the 4S yet)
15sec, captured in SlowShutter & processed with Snapseed to enhance the painted appearance
View Large On Black oh, very natural for me. pretty much straight off the camera with a slight tidy up, natural light and next to no processing, and i'm wondering how it is to go through life wearing a lil less make-up.
i seem to have de-aged myself by about 15 years somehow, but this is me au natural. i'm liking & leaning towards the more simplistic type of portraiture at the moment, the lovely essence a simple portrait can give.
i have decided that perhaps i'm not yet destined to leave the eyeliner alone and to keep eating on the fruit diet to get rid of the chubby face & arm (:p)
I just passed 90,000 photostream views. thankyou SO much guys!
when you're fifteen and,
somebody tells you they love you,
you're gonna believe them.
and when you're , fifteen
feeling like there's nothing to figure out.
well, count to ten, take it in,
this is life before you know who you're gonna be,
fifteen.
Fifteen, Taylor Swift
{Yes, I did delete the one of myself. I decided when I upload photos of me I will quickly delete them ;)}
