Nicely restored heritage home in Trinity, Newfoundland. I've seen local pictures of this house in much rougher shape years ago. Nice to see it brought back to this condition. An older picture I took in 2011.

Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the Sun is just below the horizon. The clouds are illuminated from below and often glow in vivid colours. Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the Sun is just below the horizon. The ice particles that form nacreous clouds are much smaller than those that form more common clouds. These smaller particles scatter light in a different way, which is what creates the distinctive luminescent appearance.
Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the Earth’s surface, these clouds are lit up by sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn and after dusk. They are most likely to be viewed when the Sun is between 1º and 6º below the horizon and in places with higher latitudes, such as Scandinavia and northern Canada. For this reason, they are sometimes known as polar stratospheric clouds. Nacreous clouds only form below -78 °C so are most likely to occur during the polar winter.
Because of the very low temperatures required, nacreous clouds are usually only visible from the UK when the cold air which circulates around polar regions in the stratosphere (known as the stratospheric polar vortex) is displaced and hovers temporarily over the UK. Source, UK Met office

British Beef in the form of 60092 has just exited the southern end of Wickwar tunnel just north of Yate at the head of 6B13 05.00 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco tanks.
Speaking of British Beef...
Tug of War is a sport in which two teams compete by pulling on opposite ends of a rope with the goal of bringing the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team's pull (thanks Wiki).
Between 1900 and 1920 Tug of War was actually an event in five Summer Olympic Games with each nation being able to field up to three teams;
1900 Paris - Gold to a team of mixed nationalities(!?) and Silver France - no Bronze awarded
1904 St Louis - Gold and Silver USA and mixed nationalities Bronze
1908 London - Gold, Silver and Bronze GB (hah, get in!)
1912 Stockholm - Gold Sweden and Silver GB (only 2 teams competed in this event)
1916 - No Olympic events (don't mention the war)
1920 - Antwerp - Gold GB, Silver Netherlands and Bronze Belgium
Now then, assuming that when a sport is no longer represented at an Olympic event (and also applying standard pub rules of 'winner stays on') that would logically indicate that Great Britain are, and have been for the last 106 years and counting, the reigning Olympic Tug of War champions!
Cue Brian May on top of Buckingham Palace....again.

I was going through some photos from last month, you know the ones, sitting there in a folder, waiting to be looked at and processed when I happened upon this one.
I do not know how I missed it on the first round, because this is a gorgeous portrait.
I'm not sure what it is, the pose, the smile, the composition... whatever it is, I love it and am kicking myself for not seeing it sooner!
She has a classic air about her here, even with the cheese and crackers in her hand. I love it, what a gem to be hidden in a folder!
This was jammed between a bunch of blurry photos, so I think I snapped this when I was showing my cousin's son how to use my camera.
I had bribed him with camera time if he would pose with his baby sister, he held up his end of the bargain so I handed over the camera, forgetting I had everything on manual settings.
He quickly returned and asked for a lesson, so I flipped things to auto and I think this must have been what I shot to show him where the buttons were, I wasn't even thinking about the photo at the time, just teaching him how to use the camera.
Funny how things work out that way sometimes.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

~~Chez certains insectes, les œufs et les larves doivent être déposés précisément sur leurs ressources alimentaires. La femelle est donc très sélective lors de la ponte.
Chez certaines, elles pondent les œufs de manière aléatoire sur le substrat. Chez d'autres, Elles les déposent en masse sur le feuillage ou les posent individuellement sur le plant. D'autres pondent à l'intérieur des racines, des tiges et à travers des troncs d'arbres à l'aide d'un organe spécialisé appelé ovipositeur.
Les mantes, les blattes et certains orthoptères pondent leurs œufs en masse dans une capsule protectrice appelée oothèque. Cette mousse de protéines forme une carapace solide assurant une protection contre d'éventuels prédateurs.

...It allows us to experience the same emotions.
People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.
No matter what language we speak, what color we are,
the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith,
music proves: We are the same.
History:
Third synthetic life form and carrier of the Reality Engine. Like her three siblings, Paragon was built by the Predecessors to find and retrieve the Fountain of Life from its inter-dimensional hiding place. Unlike her siblings, though, Paragon was successful in contacting the artifact. Not much is known about what happened when Paragon contacted the fountain, but when she returned from her journey she turned on her creators. With newfound knowledge of the origins and inner workings of the universe, Paragon acted as an angel of protection for her home planet, using her Reality Engine to defend it from natural disasters and malevolent forces.
Personality:
Paragon is a confident and brave individual. She sees it as her duty to defend her home planet, and she appreciates every chance she gets to learn more about the people who inhabit it. While she isn't the best at interacting with people, she lets her actions show her care for others.
Abilities:
Paragon carries the Reality Engine, a dimensional generator. The engine allows Paragon to create a region in which she has god-like control over reality. When using her engine in an affected region, Paragon can move objects with her mind, manipulate gravity, control air pressure and temperature, and more. Overuse of her engine will tire Paragon, forcing her to rest between uses. Paragon carries A broadsword, a buckler, and four remotely controlled wing blades. When her Reality Engine is active, Paragon can combine her tools to form Enki, the Reality Blade. Paragon can move this giant sword at will only in regions affected by her engine, but even with such a limitation, the sword's raw destructive power cannot be denied.
Build notes:
Well, it only took 4 years to build her. I've been wanting to do this concept since I first built Avalon. While the build isn't too innovative (I reused a lot of Svella's design) it does refine several of the concepts used in Svella. Oh yeah, and the mask is painted! This my first attempt at a painted mask, so it is a tad messy, but I'm happy with it!
BAck Story: The Solia Federation was formed in last Flux Galaxy League, a break away group intent on finding the Jacuus Station which disappeared with 3500 human earthlings. The Jacuus Station was home for many humans and it was the last of its kind since humans had left the Milky Way in 2305.
I'm Cameron Reed-Moos, and in our quest to find our brothers & sisters, we had installed the best Ship builders to aid our mission, we partnered with the KresKon, a cyborg nation that has lived in peace on Hylo, this planet was given to them by the Flux during the Dazla period. The Flux now rule over 3 galaxies and are not so pro human, I suppose our history is some what patchy when you mention conflict. anyway, back to the story… we needed help and we knew we could count on the KresKon's to fulfil our request. We signed a deal that would ensure that any findings outside the FLux's control we could split. So part of our mission is to pay back the KresKon with some sort of resources besides Magnamuim.A number of humans also live here and will crew with me once near departure.
The KresKon's really delivered a wonderful project after a 11 year wait, must be the half human DNA ringing in? Who knows, all I know is The Solia Federation has its first real Ship called the "Ataraxia 11". It has everything we need to stay safe, be comfortable and able to take stock of our fleets and our docking station pods are the best out there. I remember the first time I laid eyes on her, we had never imagined its shear size. Our 3 months training went so fast and soon we would make our maiden voyage into the unknown, starting with the Crest of Ysis.This Super Hole requires a 3 week flight in a storm of Star Stones, its like hail I'm told but in space. I remember my great grand father telling me stories of his limited time on earth, and they had hail there all the time. I don't think we could ever return to that galaxy. We have many unknown factors which this Ship will experience anyway, The FLux has banned any parties going anywhere near it. I just want to find my own, my own people.
The Solia Federation is the last hope for our kind, and the Ataraxia 11 will be our only chance of ever finding the Jaccus Station. We cannot return back to Hylo empty handed either. If anybody is reading this? I do hope you put the Ataraxia 11 on your radar-flash, its our symbol of hope. We will remain calm and believe. Long Live the people of Solia.
Yours Universally.Cameron Reed-Moos
Inspiration for the name was partly cause it contained an 'X' and also it has a good meaning, plus it doubled as my midnight runner song by Team Sleep - Ataraxia. So thats the name done and dusted ,next was to get a sweet logo that would tie in my backstory (gotta tick all the boxes, right?).
The brief to myself was to try capture those amazing concept art renders we see now and then. So I decided to this project up a few notches by actually texturing the different surfaces and angles, make it edgy, digital, zero gravity madness, all the sci-fi stuff we all love. filled with intrigue and fascination at every glance If anybody seen my stream you'd remember my carbon project for the Batmobile of the future, well I did it again, no full wrap but it did take 4 days of sticking and around 438 stickers applied to achieve the final result. 3 different colour grades and plenty of angles of which I have around 1200!Enjoy, and big up's to you all for this insane month we all know as SHIPTEMBER!

A hybrid pairing of 53242/53844 make up Tyseley set T032. The train was the 11.03 Birmingham to Great Malvern, it is passing the doomed Rowley Regis signal box, which was a lovely little GWR standard box.
The track gang are taking out the connection into the yard which had closed. The line, which is still in occasional use, forms one of two goods loops at Rowley Regis. Behind the train on the horizon is a blast furnace which must be in the Langley Green area?

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!

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".

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.
