26008 leaves Workington on 22 April 1986 with Target 57, the Carlisle – Workington – Carlisle trip freight.
Built in 1958 by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company, 26008 was withdrawn from service in 1993 and cut up the following year.
St Michael's Church - on the left - is Workington's Parish Church and nothing to do with Marks & Spencer.
Vulcan XH558 over the West Pennine Moors today on her way from the Lake District to a flyover of Barton and Woodford. It'll be sad to see her grounded at the end of the season.
Ballet is a dance that takes many hours of practice and for the dance company that performed the Nutcracker was incredible and a well worth performance that many look forward to seeing each holiday season.
I know, enough of the frog photos. After watching for an hour hoping I could catch him zapping a fly (notice the fly on his left), well, we kind of became attached.....with my luck I'd kiss him and he would turn into a prince (prefer princesses).
I am back from my short flickr break with this image from Tenerife’s Benijo beach.
I shared this beautiful moment with my 500px friend Lukas Zitz, here is a link to his version of that evening:

I met him there for the first time in real life and he is not only a very friendly and talented photographer, but showed me the proper way for seascape photography. While i was constantly running away with my hiking shoes from the tricky waves (at the atlantic ocean every seventh wave is a bitch), he literally stood like a rock in the surf with Flip-flops and a swimming short:

If you ever got your shoes soaking wet in salt water you will know that no matter what the smell never fades and Lukas‘ approach is the way to go!
Due to the loss of my watch on day one of my vacation i thought that the sunset was already over at this overcast evening.
I packed away my camera and my tripod when all of a sudden glorious light flooded the beach.
I had approximately 2 minutes for getting my gear back, reestablishing the composition and waiting for the right wave before all the magic mood was gone, so i am quite happy with the result.

The British Advanced Passenger Train (APT) incorporated ground breaking technology that was eventually brought to the UK system commercially by Fiat of Italy. All the work undertaken by British Rail was eventually sold to Fiat Ferroriaria, who then sent it back to us in the shape of the Pendolino's. Developing such an advanced train was always going to present problems, which there were: the one problem that could not be overcome was the negative publicity provided by the British press. Ever true to their mantra, bad news sells newspapers, they feasted on any negative publicity surrounding the APT project. And so the Thatcher government scrapped it, and sold the technology to Fiat. Not our finest hour? On 19th April 1985, when the APT had been bought back into scheduled service, No. 370007 leads through Lichfield Trent Valley with a London Euston - Glasgow Central service.
