57002 and 57007 work a Tonbridge to Tonbridge via Ashford snowplough test trip, probably the only time these snowploughs see the main line judging by the amount of snow we usually get. Seen passing Tudeley, 27 September 2017
Celebrations, family get together, traditions.

After several months hard working for the show, we feel tired, and would like to take some rest :) and prepare to have fun in the party :)))
hope to see you guys in the bday party :D
The Marg boys do a crafty sashay to get their work done quick in Camphora so they can get on home on this short turning day.
a new brighton kite surfer made a bee line for me when he saw the camera and put on a great demo for me, so whoever you are, cheers. taken at new brighton wirral.
For the big benefit we're having for moms cancer fundraiser tomorrow (Sunday). Mom says I gotta look my best and be a good boy. Of course I'm a good boy mom! We're so excited, this going to be a fun day.
Portraiture is a window to the soul. - Anonymous
For my this challenge, Ari, who goes by the name of Lord Nikon 12, His challenge was,
"I am having a great time going through your stream. You take so many beautiful photos, but I don't see any people :(
My challenge to you is to take some portraits and maybe start a 100-strangers project. After that, go wild!".
I had so many ideas for this challenge, but for some reason or another, none of them came thru due to my timing or the people I wanted to take portraits of.. Anyhow, I always wanted to learn the in-camera multiple exposure setting. This was the perfect opportunity for me to do that. This is the portrait of my mum who has come to stay with us.
The tree in this picture is a very old, tall tree right across my house.. I see it change every season..but it still weathers all the changes and still stands tall and majestic.. This gave me an idea to portray my mum and the tree together.. Mum has been a steady rock in my life. She has weathered many many changes in her life lately, but she still stands tall and weathers anything that comes her way with a smile on her face..
Ari, I hope you like this portrait of my mum.. and I am hoping that I find courage to start the 100 strangers project like you suggested sooner than later.. :)
Thanks again for the challenge. It was fun learning a new technique. I have to add that this is not an in-camera shot. Somehow when I downloaded them, they all had a very strong pink tint to them. I have no idea why. Will need to figure that out. However, it is a fun technique and Ari, I hope to see you soon again!
Progress with Kittyhawk’s 1/48 scale Sepecat Jaguar Trainer so far since starting between Christmas and the New Year. A challenging kit with a few issues that makes you work hard to get the thing to your way of thinking. However it certainly brings out the modeller.
Trial fitting of everything is really necessary with many parts. Particular attention needs to be paid to the fuselage behind the canopy which needed some more plastic added to increase the outside diameter. Also the engine covers won’t fit properly if in a closed position with the engines in situ without a fair bit of meat removed from the rear ring surrounding the exhaust nozzles.
Is this what half the tools in the shed are for; modifying, fettling, amending and building?
Though I have sworn a few times it has to be said. :o
This photo was taken last week also in the abandoned airplane hanger. Not as satisfied with this one but the upside newspaper that ironically says "get smart" tells a story.

After seeing a mention by Stephen Downes of a presentation he did for the 2023 Open Education Conference called Open Learning in the Fediverse which is now, thanks to Dr Tesla, the hot topic.
For some reason I felt an urge to remix the opening credits to a favorite show when I was a kid, Get Smart.
Okay, there is a low resolution image in Wikimedia Commons declared as fair use, for which my use here is likely not a qualifier. Hmmm, How about a case of parody? To the copyright holders, if anything, my use might offer more people to look up this classic show, watch, and appreciate what a treasure it was. My use is not o steal or take away from Get Smart but to honor it.
Who owns popular culture? The rules are not written into law, so my remix is likely the most legal. But I will roll the dice.
My source was a screen grab from the YouTube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ6gdRfBW6c where I used Photoshop to copy brush out the SMART letters, and replicate with a font guess (Georgia) for the words "Federated".
Is this changed enough from the original? Leave it to the lawyers.
The Lackawanna heritage unit passes the often-photographed Hoka Turkeys sign just west of Waterman, IL. Not bad for my first catch past it!
I must admit, i did feel like a bit of a voyeur when i photographed these woodpigeons getting close, but they were so busy they didn't care who noticed! :-)

The Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D-20) was a jet engine that powered the Lockheed A-12, and subsequently the YF-12 and the SR-71 aircraft. Twin J58s pushed the SR-71 to a cruising speed of 2,211 MPH.
The J58 was a single-spool turbojet with an afterburner. It had a unique bleed from the compressor to the afterburner which gave increased thrust at high speeds.
This feature caused it to be referred to as a turboramjet in some writings.
It delivered 25,000 pound-force (110 kN) of thrust without afterburner (dry) and 34,000 (150 kN) with afterburner (wet).
General characteristics
Type: afterburning turbojet with compressor bleed bypass
Length: 180 in (4,600 mm) (an additional 6 in (150 mm) at max. temp.)
Diameter: 50 in (1,300 mm)
Dry weight: approx. 6,000 lb (2,700 kg)
Components
Compressor: 9-stage, axial flow
Combustors: Cannular 8 burner cans in an annular combustion casing
Turbine: two-stage axial flow
Fuel type: JP-7, JP-4 or JP-5 for emergency refuelling from any tanker (Mach 1.5 limit)
Oil system: Pressure spray return system with Fuel-cooled oil cooler
Performance
Maximum thrust: 34,000 pounds-force (151.24 kN)
wet, 25,000 pounds-force (111.21 kN) dry
Overall pressure ratio: 7.5 at take off
Bypass ratio: low bypass ratio to afterburner
Air mass flow: 300 lb/s (8,200 kg/min) at take-off power
Specific fuel consumption: 1.9 lb/lbf (190 kg/kN) per hour
Thrust-to-weight ratio: 5.23 lbf/lb (0.0513 kN/kg)
I always try to track the birds with my lens and save a few images for the buffer even after they make their catch. They typically do something really cool, like look at their fish, eat it mid-air, or even drop it. It is very entertaining. www.troymarcyphotography.com
This was something that I quickly made earlier today for an event we're hosting in August for RMAI Pastors within our district.
This is the screen graphic version of a flyer that had a lot more info, so I opted to upload the prettier version.
We've got a little bit before the event, so if you guys have any thoughts on how to improve this a bit, I'd appreciate the feedback!
