LNER/BR Peppercorn A1 pacifics 60114 ''W P Allen'' (the first of the class) and 60157 ''Great Eastern'' at Doncaster loco shed in 1964.
60114 was built in 1948, and withdrawn at the end of 1964. 60157 was built in 1949 and withdrawn at the beginning of 1965.
All the A1s were scrapped very soon after withdrawal - allegedly for the valuable copper in their boilers..
None survived, but a 'new' member of the class (60163 ''Tornado'') was completed in 2008, and was seen here at Didcot in June 2011:

Doncaster steam shed closed in 1966, and today there is a diesel maintenance depot on the site..

A last look for now at British India Line climbing Upwey bank from Weymouth to Bincombe Tunnel. I was uncertain whether to keep this one. However, having clipped the front of the locomotive, there is a certain something about the result. This was the last of a three burst sequence and the first two had the train too far away. So that in itself shows her speed and distance travelled between the second and third shots!
Visualization of Flickr geotagged photos, uploaded between 2007 to 2015 and geotagged with the highest accuracy (street-level). I generated a number of different visualizations.
Visible from 'space': the Camino de Santiago in Spain appears as a European 'highway' of photo taking!

Created with ClipGeo as part of a research project (maps.alexanderdunkel.com).
Lovingly called 'De Hef'. Conserved as a monument, as it was the first bridge of this type in Europe. It survived the Second World War. Now replaced by a railway tunnel.

Taken at 2.47 pm yesterday. Always seems odd to see such a bright Moon in the middle of the afternoon.
The third in this short run of 747 photos features cargo jumbo jets, all photographed at Ringway (Manchester Airport). Thanks again to Kim for the collage!
Whilst passenger versions become rarer and rarer in our skies, freighters are still relatively common. The enthusiasts can find a few extra details in the comment below.

Sadly without the signature location rondel on top of the fingerpost, Bussey Stool is one of the strangest of strange names to be found within the county of Dorset. Bussey Stool is a farm, whilst Bussey Stool Park is a kilometre further on through Bloody Shard Gate.
I can find nothing about the origin of the word 'bussey' whilst 'stool' is from the Old English stōl (“chair, seat, throne”). At the 'park', the Ordnance Survey map shows remains of an Iron Age hill fort that crowns Bussey Down. It is apparently also sometimes known as Caesar's Camp no doubt due to the proximity of a Roman Road. There is no public access to the site being on a large estate of a well-known local bigwig and the nearest right-of-way is almost half a kilometre away.
Granada is a pretty good jumping-off point for ski vacations in the nearby Sierras Nevada mountains.
The stone bridge over the River Frome at Lower Bockhampton was built around 1800 and is still in use today for cars, vans, cyclists, horse-riders and pedestrians. No ponderous carriages though....
The evening of some thoughts and this image is here ( I'm ok I'm not in apocalyptic mood )
Nothing interesting in Anacortes . Still wondering what it is … this uninteresting place that we spend so much time photographing. In the beginning I didn't realize that huge part of this old pier was covered in broken bricks.
This was taken with Sigma 12-24 on Canon 5D 2 , very low , maybe 12"-18" from the ground.
music has to be …

Update: Here's a brief description of my Geotagging (Embedding the Geographical information to the photo) process.
1. I have a small portable GPS Data Logger (Globalsat DG-100) in my camera bag at all times. A GPS Data Logger is a relatively cheap device, and it doesn't have an LCD screen or any real time MAP features, but what this device does is when activated it records my location on an interval time. It has three customizable time settings, for example when I'm riding my bicycle I set it to every 30 seconds. The device can run for many hours, even days, logging my whole trip in every 30 seconds. The GPS Data Logger records the location based on the local satellite time.
2. This step is very important. You have to set your camera's time and date carefully. What I do, which seems to work fine, is to set my camera to the time on www.timeanddate.com on local time. Just search for the city you're in and set your camera's time to that.
3. When I get to a computer I download the logged GPS info and export a GPX or KMV file. These files can be used in any application that supports GPS, such as Google Earth. You can see your whole trip in Google Earth by opening these files. To dowload the log files from the device I use the software that comes with it, but other devices like Sony's (see below) are easier to work with.
4. Time to attach the GPS information to photos. I use a software called RoboGeo which is great. You open a bunch of images, and then you open the GPS log file (from step 3) and RoboGeo automatically matches the time your photo is taken to the GPS log file and can stamp the file with the GPS info. So the GPS information is embedded to the image file's EXIF info without changing anything else.
The only complaint I have about RoboGeo is that it doesn't support RAW files. It does however support TIF and JPG files, so I Geotag my 16bit TIF converted photos or the final web ready JPG files. When you upload the Geotagged JPG files to flickr, they automatically show up on the map. Very cool indeed!
4a. RoboGeo is poweful application, and one the fun things you can do with it is exporting a KMV file with embedded images, so you see your photos show on Google Earth and other application and website (like www.gpsvisualizer.com)
Here's our trip when the photo above was taken.
Resources: There are other GPS Loggers out there too, like Sony's GPS-CS1. Here's a great comparison and review of the two products.

There are several meanings of the word 'baller' although in this instance it probably relates to the sporting world. Used by younger fans, baller is a fairly recent arrival in British football terminology. It seems to have come from basketball in America where it is used to describe great players.
I had to ask my personal consultant on all things American as to what Subway were advertising. Answer : A meatball sub!
There is just so many things wrong with this whole concept that I hardly know where to start..........
....so I'll just point out that in England it should be "arse". "Ass" is the American spelling.

Beaufort 2003
Artistic jack-of-all-trades Jan Fabre created Searching for Utopia in 2003 for the Beaufort art festival. The theme of the very first edition of this triennial was 'art by the sea'. Fabre created an enormous sea turtle based on bronze. On top of the animal he depicted himself as a kind of rider. The artist emphasizes the fact that man continues to search for Utopia throughout his life. The work of art originally stood on the Zeedijk near Lefebvrestraat. However, it suffered from corrosion by sand and the salty sea wind. A move was necessary. The turtle was removed in May 2014 for a thorough restoration. The turtle was given a protective layer of gold leaf. On July 9, 2018, Searching for Utopia was inaugurated again on the square in front of Centrum Ysara. The statue sits on top of a water feature.
