A Super Fleet powered stacker roars along the weathered telegraph poles on the Cajon subdivision. The San Gabriel mountains are already in the distance as the train is only minutes away from Barstow, in a few moments it will bang across Lenwood Road.
GP60M 154 is in the lead and in comparison the 555 built by GE already shows a pinkish red.

Another shot of The Fleet, this time looking east towards Portland and with Chessil Beach across the water on the right. The Dorset Coast Path which I was walking runs along the top of the bank on the left.

A gritty group of Rio Grande Tunnel Motors waits for a call to duty at Helper, Utah, on the afternoon of February 7, 2000. With Union Pacific now the owner of the “Main Line Thru the Rockies,” the next several years will decimate the tired fleet of Grande gold and black locomotives.
Centrebus' latest vehicle nearly ready to enter the fleet. Unsure on the fleet no. and registration.
It was Fleet Week once again in San Francisco, which meant that I would have to sneak out of work, climb up Telegraph Hill and view the Blue Angels.

Here is WM GP9 #31 pictured at York PA on April 23rd 1976. While many find the WM's home-grown chop nosed GP9s a little ungainly, they were certainly uniquely WM. The 31 became #6406 in the Chessie numbering scheme, but never wore Chessie paint. It must have been a sickly locomotive because it was retired before the rest of the GP9 fleet in 1980. The RS3 #196 right behind didn't fare any better and was purged with the rest of the RS3s in 1979. While the WM had a presence in York Pa, it's predecessor CSX does not, having owed to it's sale of the line to Yorkrail in 1989. No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection.
In 1573, the Spanish fleet was defeated by the West-Frisians near Hoorn, under the leadership of admiral De Bossu.
This event is immortalized in three Bossu Houses, Hoorn, The Netherlands.
The gables tell a story where the West-Frisians are depicted as men of Israel fighting the biblical warlord Amalek.
The three houses were built around 1612.
"O loffelijke daed! o schoone gulde tyden!
Wie dat er aan gedenkt, die moet hem nog verblijden,
Het lant dat schut en beeft, den vyant die komt aen;
Hij wil met Amalek gants Israël verslaen,
Hij komt met groote magt, maer Godt heeft ons gegeven
Ook Arons ende Hurs, wier namen zijn geschreven,"
Beautiful lonely beach on the East Coast of Scotland. Fine sunny day with big skies and the tide way out.

With the massive dome of St Paul's Cathedral in the background and a few light trails of passing double deckers.
In this photo and from this angle, London reminds me of Paris.
Six planes. On the ground. But due to fly later. The pilot is checking it over (cockpit area).
Oakland Airport North Field. The planes are: Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets.
They are visiting the Bay Area and performing their in-formation aerobatics for the U.S. Navy's Fleet Week.
Alan, below, tells us the Blue Angels were "formed in April 1946 as the Navy Flight Exhibition Team!". This year marks their 75th anniversary!

A really nice little loop of Fleet Pond. Just avoided the rain and chatted to a couple of nice old ladies. Happy day's for a Friday.
The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen
View of the Nave
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.
The Icelandic whaling fleet has been in this same spot for over 20 years now. I think it is a given thing that these boats will never be used again for whale hunting. Maybe the owner should consider doing something else with these vessels.
The younger foxes that patrol the St James Churchyard are more naive and bold than their elders. Setting up for remote shooting, it has been frustrating to find a fox standing just out of touching distance staring curiously whilst the camera is feet away.
Perhaps it is because they are more used to my presence but it seemed time to try hand holding the camera again despite the very low light and high ISO. Any sharp movement and the skittish fox will slink into the shadows to skulk. Standing stalk still briefly, simply raising the camera spooked this one allowing only a few optimistic panning shots as it returned with a side long suspicious stare, back to the margins of the shadows.
Foxes are always portrayed as a simple red and white but their colouring is far more complex, varied by blacks and lighter shades which do a marvellous job in breaking up their shape and blending them into the shadows. The muzzle, especially on younger foxes, has black on either side which breaks up the outline of the head perfectly.

These dancers, at the South Maui Gardens Luau, definitely had fleet feet! So enjoyed their dancing, fire twirling, music and storytelling. They took us on a trip through a variety of Polynesian islands, including of course those of Hawaii. Admired how they performed this extended time of dancing on a concrete floor with bare feet and wondered why. When the fire dancers came out we understood the purpose of the flooring material. Would highly recommend if you are ever on Maui.
