This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

This was some kind of fun shot to use the golden sunset light for something creative. Maybe you can guess what you see.
Yesterday I spent another shooting day with Ed and the results are great. You definitely have to follow his stream as well because he is going to publish a really cool image of myself these days. I think I will inform you about that another time when he published it but keep it in mind in case I forget it.

Formed in the mid 2040s these joint units allow Eurasian SF more flexibility when operating while giving Ansui much needed experienced soldiers. The program has also led to significant technology sharing between the two nations.
Landscape of Tuscany. This is the first in a series of explorative abstracts. Creating these is an exercise in establishing what feels right and in finding meaning in very little.

La vierge noire de Walcourt
La basilique de Walcourt abrite, entre autres trésors, une
remarquable statue de Vierge Noire dont l’origine remonte à la fin du 10ème siècle. Or, la légende veut
qu’en 1228, lors d’un incendie de l’église, la statue
n’échappe aux flammes que par miracle : emportée
par des anges, elle fut déposée dans un arbre de
l’autre côté de la vallée, au lieu-dit Le Jardinet. Là,
malgré des efforts répétés, impossible de la reprendre... Jusqu’à ce que Thiéry II, comte de Rochefort et
seigneur de Walcourt, vienne s’agenouiller au pied de
l’arbre et promettre de construire en cet endroit une abbaye en l’honneur de Notre-Dame. Alors seulement, la statue
accepta de descendre et de se laisser ramener dans le bourg..

Legend recounts how the Madonna was miraculously saved from a fire in 1220, and mysteriously transported by angels and found in the branches of a tree outside the town. A monastery (abbaye du Jardinet [fr]; destroyed by French revolutionary troops in 1793 and closed in 1796) was founded on the site where the Madonna was rediscovered.[9] Since then, an annual procession takes place between the basilica and the site of the former monastery.[4]
Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.
At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.
On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.
How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.
Best enjoyed 'large'.
A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.
Ruth Asawa went to Mexico in the 1940s and learned a technique they used for weaving wire into baskets. Here's her version.

This old vase/planter has been laying out in the yard for about 5 yrs now....it had a pecan tree in it that was brought from the old house, but by the time I got around to transplanting it, the roots had grown so much that I couldn't get it out of the vase without breaking it!!
The tree is now dead, and I'm waiting for it to decompose enough to free the vase!!!!
Yeah, I'm lazy......'Form and Texture' On Black
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Loch Long at Dornie. While getting gear out and ready for a wee walk up the track the heavens opened up, quick shot and back to the shelter of the car..lol A really nice loch this one with plenty of ops for shooting the camera but not so much on this visit, so a return is def on the cards.
