Hastings Diesels Limited superbly restored 'Hastings Unit' No. 1001 arrives in platform 4 at South Croydon to pick up passengers, some of whom can be seen getting photos, en route from Tonbridge to Warminster. The purpose of the trip was for passengers to visit the so called 'lost village of Imber' in Wiltshire. The Wikipedia link for Imber is below.
South Croydon is an unusual pick up point for railtours. The plan for this was that '1Z80' could effectively use platform 4, the Reversible Slow, line as a loop to enable a regular 'Thameslink' service to pass whilst tour participants joined the train. As it turned out both trains were running a few minutes late, so this never happened.
From the wedding ceremony of Thea Marie and Markus this past summer.
We share the same niece and nephew, and it was a big bonus that photographing their wedding included seeing my little hearts in their adorable outfits, and listening to my sister and her husband (the bride's brother) perform.
All my best wishes for a long and great future together!
I have more photos from their ceremony in the links below the line.

Like many of you, I've Christmas traditions.
A relatively new one is to celebrate by having a fancy dinner out with my beautiful girlfriends.
I like to dress for the occasion.
Who doesn't?
This year, I retrieved a cheery red satin dress from the back of the clothes rack for this year's event. Some may recognize it from photos taken at a Christmas event about four years ago. It still fits!
Before showing some images from the event, I figured some would like to see how I prepare.
My first step is to assemble the ensemble on an antique coat tree stand. As an example - See left image in the composite. Mixing and matching might take several iterations. This year, I was trying to justify a green satin dress but given a choice - there just was no fair competition with red. Agree?
A decision about a final "Get Up" for the evening is close when it is just a matter of selecting shoes, and hair. In this case, I chose closed toe kitten heels because they are stable and warmer in winter months, and...... I won't have to get a pedi. Whew!
Though I've a lot of hair in different lengths in the same color range - I chose a more mature cut.
Modern, sophisticated, classy ---that's me!
On the right side of this composite - you can see how I'm nearly ready to "Go."
These are not glamour photos - but instead reveal some details of the process I take to get ready.
Other details - red gloss fingernails with gold glitter nail accent, sparkly/shimmery hose, gold glitter accent scarf, gold Christmas tree pin, gold chain necklace and matching earrings, gold broadband ring and bracelet.
My evening makeup featured gold metallic eye shadow and cranberry lip gloss.
My clutch is a gold glitter borrowed from my spouse.
The natural blue fox coat took my look over the top!
The goal was to appear as a beautiful red and gold wrapped Christmas present!
Blah, blah, blah, blah.... Sorry to prattle on.
For me, it takes days contemplating options and hours of preparation.
That is why, when I finally emerge in public - appreciative comments of friends and strangers - mean a lot!
But even if not appreciated by others, it feels good knowing I did my best.
So how do you like my "get up" and "go" look?
A few photos out and about later.

We stopped at the Moeraki Boulders on our journey South. April 25, 2016 in the South Island of New Zealand. Each time we have past this area it has been raining or the tide was fully in, This time we were in luck.
The Moeraki Boulders are a group of very large spherical “stones” on Koekohe Beach near Moeraki on New Zealand’s Otago coast. These boulders are actually concretions that have been exposed through shoreline erosion from coastal cliffs that back the beach. The Boulders are one of the most fascinating and popular attractions on the South Island.
They originally formed in ancient sea floor sediments around 60 million years ago.

One of twenty-one EMD F59PH owned by Metrolink rolls into Fullerton with train 660. When Amtrak phased out their F59PHI locomotives I slept on that, then I started noticing how bad the chargers look; the paint scheme doesn't match the cars , flashing ditch-lights ( not that, that matter but it makes them a little more difficult to shoot if they honk). Now with Metrolink continuing to phase in more F125 into service which is essentially a EMD charger. So go get them now while you still can.
I've always been the quiet type. Good at observation and blending in. That's me!
Uncomfortable with, and thus avoiding the spotlight or stage of any kind - I thrive in shadows.
A shade loving plant.
That is why its puzzling I allow myself to be pushed on occasion. This hotel pool scene is an example.
Nora in public, in daylight, in a costume that hides little. That's not pushing boundaries - its totally ignoring them!
Funny - once having the attention of an audience, I feel compelled to perform - or at least act the part. My motivator is fear of disappointing others. If the audience expects to see a bathing beauty poolside - I feel it necessary to act like one.
In this photo I'm glancing to an onlooker to gauge his satisfaction with my performance. I've got his attention and he's not good at being subtle. However its just not clear how he feels so I appear perplexed.
Some might say "Silly Nora - just be yourself. Don't worry about what others think."
But what if my purpose in life is to help others? Perhaps my performances, designed to meet expectations, are a way I am being myself. After all - no one is forcing me.
Why do we do what we do?
In the recent years many “Reception Halls” became common in the villages of Cyprus, which cater for the typical Cypriot wedding receptions of 2-3 thousand guests. (I refer to the villages!)
These photos here show one such a hall getting prepared for a wedding dinner. Thousands of plastic chairs are stacked on the tables while workers are cleaning the floor.

Lake Superior starting to get grumpy. The wind and crashing ice was deafening. I wish my camera had better audio
It was very cold overnight, just below minus fourteen in our neighbourhood, and first thing this morning the flickers got frisky with one another.
They were doing this dance for ten minutes while I watched and took pictures from the window. Eventually they disappeared.
And later the female came back for peanuts.
Taken in the late afternoon sun, this flower is in full bloom on our Camelia bush and is dedicated to a special friend currently in hospital somewhere in Australia...
Get well Di; hugs and best wishes from us both, and know that you (and your family) are in our prayers...!
Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones,
Put taps on your toes, and get goin'
Get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
雨點飄
妳的酒窩在笑 妳說水滴在跳
哼幸福的曲調
彩虹點亮了下一秒
世界很大 人佷渺小
驚喜總出乎預料
鳥語了蟲嗚了
桃源之音 妳我耳邊飛行
花開了葉落了
窗外的風景 很憧憬
妳溫暖 我的生命 捧在手心
最愛是妳 專注的眼神
一百種表情 快樂的小事情
一百種表情 微笑在妳眼睛
簡單的音符最動聽
妳的甜蜜隨風輕
也感染 我的心
「100種表情」 方大同

Get a smile, and keep it !

A legend once told me it’s pretty hard to get greedy in New England. That took place with me as after scoring some late New England Central train 324 shots north of Brattleboro, I then drove up to The Vermont Railways Washington County Line in hopes of finding NPWJ. After waiting for some fair amount of time I drove further to West Burke, just as I was about to leave I heard the horns in the distance. I thought success. Almost. As GP38-2 #204 used some assistance from GP40-2 #307 facing the wrong way was used to help the train. Train NPWJ seen crossing Burke Hill Rd West Burke, VT January 22, 2019
Turkey Day just passed ladies and I think it's time for me to get my workout on. I don't want to add on the Christmas weight along with the Turkey Day weight. I'm here at the gym with the newness from YumZ. The Kee SweatSuit is the most ladies. It's going to be my "go to" outfit from here on out when it comes to the gym.

Cool coffee shop in a housing complex in Hangzhou. Owner asked me to take his photo
Hangzhou, China
Revelation 6:4
And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
Came upon this great old deco style sign after spending an hour at the local BMV waiting for a license renewal. Loved the way the sun was kissing the face of the sign amid a backdrop of dark clouds. Great photo op I thought but decided to let it go and continue on my way. It would be absolutely comical if my car was captured on a security camera. It would show me slowing as I approached the sign, then coasting on for about 500 feet beyond before my brake lights illuminated and my car suddenly turned a 180. "Who am I kidding" was my thought as I made my way back and pulled over for a closer look. I rarely take a pass anymore in these situations. Sure, I could return another day, but I knew the sunlight and cloud combo was tailor made for tis moment and it would never appear quite the same way again. And I've also learned that coming back next week often turns into coming back never. Very easy to talk yourself out of a 20 mile drive just to take a photo of a sign (or whatever), yet insanely easy to just pull over in that moment and get the photo. The minute I got out of the car and stood face to face with the sign, I knew I had made the right decision. Yep; light was perfect, time was now. No camera, no problem. Smartphone has proven more than adequate as a backup in situations like this. So funny how the universe guides me into these scenarios. I just keep rolling sevens.
I'm in charge of getting the basketballs I guess. When they lose one, I go get another one. When one roll to the side of the court, I go get it. That's my life. LOL. Atleast i get to look cute doing it..lol. Thanks to Pink Cream Pie, I get to rock this really cute Kayla skirt which comes with an option to wear thong or not. It also comes in 18 colors for skirt and thong. Ladies, the Kayla skirt by Pink Cream Pie will match anything in your inventory. I soooo love the Kayla skirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy shopping ladies ☺
