Trying for that 365/24 that I was pressing for after a very busy day of not being at home with a camera. Oh I brought it with me but conveniently forgot a battery for it when I packed it in my purse to go....not my best day. Rather than not post anything I figure I need to document my fails as well as my success.
When failure is present or showing up near,
Look around the bend and success will straggle behind the weary path
Till all you do is try,
Then success will no longer follow behind.
The power of emotions
And the anger of silence
The thought that tomorrow,
Will be so much brighter
The excitement of learning all that is new
The blood hurdling things you may do
The breath taking scenary that you may embrace,
These are the things you never want to erase....
Following the earlier failure of tram 253, tram 263 recovered it and the two trams are seen here rounding the curve from York Place on to North Saint Andrew Street at the start of the journey back to Gogar Depot. Normal tram service has been suspended between West End and St. Andrew Square but would soon resume.
I can assure you that both he and his bike are fine. It's his pants that are really in trouble!

This maple seed had such high expectations, but alas, it got stuck. Well, all the more fun for me to slap on my portable little macro lens onto my iPhone and take a photo of it, as I slurp my morning coffee out here on the deck.
Installing a new radiator , The original honycomb radiator was beyond repair and a new original style core was going to cost at least 3 thousand bucks , a modern replacement core started around 700 bucks , so I got a new aluminum model A unit on ebay for $225.00. I put it in a week ago and have had no problems
This is far from perfect, but not horrible. For me the main failure here is not capturing what I had in mind with the still very new to me 10mm. Lots of power lines overhead made it hard to grab as much high as I wanted.
Those little blue squares eventually take over, and the Mac has to be force rebooted by holding the power button for 30 seconds.
I blogged about the process

I had failed. I wasn't strong enough. I wasn't ready to face Azreal. He beat me. I gave everything I could into the fight, but it wasn't enough. After he beat me he tied me up and hung me over the side of the building, I could not move at all, their was no way for me to get out before the police had arrived. Commissioner Gordon with a team of cops came up to me and said "Deadshot, or should I say Danielle Winstind, you are under arrest."
They knew who I was, soon my name would be blasted over the media, I would no longer be a ghost. As The police cut me down and handcuffed me I saw the woman hostage being taken into an ambulance, she was still breathing, she was still alive. The moment of relief I had was interrupted by the husband of the woman screaming at me "How could you do this, she could of died, I could of lost my wife! My child would of lost his mother!"
I didn't want to say anything back, because there was nothing to say, he had already said it all. Gordon pushed away the man trying to calm him down by saying "Alright step back please, your wife is getting medical treatment as fast as she can and Danielle will be punished for what she did, there's nothing else you can do here." The Gordon turned to the other cops "Where the hell is Arlington, I thought he said he would be here tonight?"
The cop shoved me into the back of the police car and slammed the door. I just sat in silence. My mission was a failure, I didn't give my boss enough time for their job, they won't be happy.
Hope you like it :)
JACB Drone Squad Leader Log
August 25, 2046
"It seems the rebels are becoming more aggressive in their attacks against us. They have tried to attack us at our HQ, but all their hopes were crushed by my unit. Why can't they see that they will never have a chance against our drones! There is no need for all this blood, but they keep fighting as if they might win. Failure is all they have known and will know. At some point we will crush the resistance for good!

Hey guys here is a scene! This is a beginning of a story for my faction. I have a poll for you guys to consider where should the story's perspective be from:
1. A squad leader (as shown here)
2. The leader of the resistance
3. The Queen of the JACB
I would love to hear what you guys would like to see in this story and if you have an idea for how the whole story should go send me an FM with the outline and I will consider it. :)

With both HST sets now coupled together, the pair were now ready to depart as 5T08 to Dundee. However this was not the case... Due to an issue between the two HST sets, 43030 was unable to drag the failed set south. Both sets eventually worked south seperately with 43030 & 43034 returning to perth as 1Z99, whilst 43135 & 43176 moved off a short time later as 5T08 to Dundee under its own power.
As I arrived at Rhymney station on 29 May 2021, 769002 arrived having worked the 12.33 from Penarth, it was scheduled to return to Penarth at 14.02, but passengers were detrained and the unit declared a failure owing to 'transmission problems'.
My first set of 35mm Holga shots. I loaded a short roll of Ilford FP4 into the camera and tried to seal the camera to light. Apparently I didn't put enough tape over the window on the back, and the tape I put on the inside left glue running down a few sections of the negative. Not to mention the emulsion chips and general scratching from the whole ordeal.
Franktown, CO - This is the remains of the Castlewood Canyon Dam. It was built in 1890 and was around 600 feet long and 70 feet high. After several days of heavy rain in August of 1933 the dam breached sending waves of water into farmland and eventually into parts of Denver.
With all the damage it was amazing that only two people died during the event. One was a girl from Kansas; she was on her horse observing the swirling flood waters below when apparently her horse she was riding freaked out, kicked her off and she fell in. That almost sounds like a country song.
Hiking out here in Castlewood Canyon State Park had it's unique challenges. The trails at times were icy, muddy, dry and rocky. It wasn't necessarily difficult but traversing down an icy trail on the edge of a hill without poles can be unnerving. What made it even more entertaining is my naturally hilarious lack of balance.
S317 crawls towards Somerton loop with the Sydney bound Inter-Capital Daylight. The loco was declared a failure and replaced with X51, which was brought from Dynon Loco by T355. January 1982

For the "Three Coins" prompt in the F64 Challenge. Get it? Two quarters and a Quarter Horse? LOOK, I TRIED.

It was -9 F, which is why my fingers are starting to turn rumpled and blue. Also, right after I took this photo, the horse took offense that I had coins, not carrots, and tried to bite my thumb off. I'm sticking to wildlife from now on!
33110 working the 16.10 Bristol Temple Meads - Portsmouth Harbour has come to grief and been rescued by 47147 when seen at Westbury, 21/6/84
I had this roll of exposed film in a drawer since 2010. I don't know why but it kept getting pushed to the back of the processing queue. When I did finally got around to developing it, I took the film from the tank and experienced that stomach sinking feeling, the negs are so thin there's almost nothing there. I hadn't used the Rodinal for a similarly long time and it has obviously died. However, there were a few recoverable shots and although they do slightly smack of the Hipstamtic I like them.
Lubitel 166, Ilford FP4+, expired Rodinal
High on the hillside above the River Dee, on the approach to Dent station, English Electric Class 40 No 283 has expired at the head of a northbound freight, Blocking the northbound line for a considerable time, ruining an afternoon's photography in the process. The train was eventually rescued by a class 25 loco, 2pm 16/4/1973
One of Gateshead's Class 24s comes to the aid of another class member that has failed with a modest coal train of 7 hoppers. The combined weight of the locos, brake tender and brake van must have equalled that of the load! Taken at Beamish August 1968, train loco D5107, rescue diesel D5182
Dear Mr. Takara,
Thanks to you I will be able to save a lot.
I will not fall like a fool. I need reliability and quality.
I find it hard to save money and I never want to disappoint.
Another catastrophic uncontained Nazgul 325 Engine failure for the engineers to check out.
Shrapnel from this engine (1) caused damage to engine 2 also.
This is the result of an hour or so of messing around, it's been on my mind for a while.

Soviet occupied territory(Northern New York)
"Grizzly, we need extra support in sector 3, we are being overrun by the enemy, over!"
"Phoenix, we cant lend you any, we're pinned down, over!"
"Broken arrow!!! Repeat, broken arrow! We're surrounded! Requesti---"
(Radio chatter continues)
"Sounds like this operation is as big of a failure than all the other ones."
"Shut up, before we get killed too!"
Bad picture is bad, took it with phone.
Lake Alma. Alma, Arkansas.
Failure #1: My plan was to get me with my super wide-angle lens at the end of the dock with about a 30 second exposure but unfortunately I left my 10-stop filter at home along with my super wide-angle lens.
Failure #2: I set the 10 second timer and headed to the end of the dock and soon realized there was no way I could get out there in 10 seconds so I stoped and turned around and headed back to the camera and this is what I got. However, I ended up liking this shot so I'm posting it.
