Wow um....I have no idea. Its a Saturday night here in colonial america and I am either tired, sloshed, or a combination of both.
The action may not exactly make the most sense...oh well...I think it looks pretty cool.

Allelys Heavy Haulage have been contracted to haul a number of redundant Class 56 diesel-electric locomotives from the former Crewe diesel depot to T.J.Thomson's scrapyard in Stockton on Teesside.
Having been loaded in a very efficient manner in a surprisingly short time using a special loading ramp, the 4-axled DAF XF tractor and multi-wheeled specialist trailer is seen carefully negotiating the ramp up to Nantwich Road. 22nd March 2011.
This guy having a smoke at the end of this alleyway caught my eye. I'm always a bit nervous photographing people. I thought it made a good composition with the paving stones leading to him & I didn't have to get too close! George Street, Brisbane CBD, Queensland, Australia.
Mantids (here Stenopyga sp.) and Jumping Spiders (Salticidae) probably would both make it into my personal top 20 of favourite earthlings. Bit awkward that here one is having the other for lunch :-)
“We are going to have to go through the valley. This is taking to long.” Gwynnbleid stated to Oakton. “I do not see any alternatives.”
“I believe you are right Gwynnbleid, we can try to avoid the patrols as much as we can but we can not continue like this. We need to cut across in order to find the Lady Raven.”
“Then it is agreed, come what may. Let us rest and travel this new path tomorrow.”
Gwynnbleid and Oakton had watched numerous Red Star Legion patrols of the valley below. Having spent weeks looking for a gap to cross over, they both came to the same conclusion. They were not sure what all the build and fuss was about but they now had no choice. Tomorrow would not be dull in the least.

Having spent the morning at Sandringham the passengers for the Royal Scotsman arrive by road to be picked up by the train. at Watlington.The Signalman tells the tour leader the train has left Kings Lynn!
Was guckst du so? Ja, also wenn ich an der Stelle, der Giraffen gewesen wäre, hätte ich auch nicht schlecht geguckt. Denn die Begegnung mit diesen tollen Tiere in der Nähe des Lake Nakurus, in Kenia hatten wir auf dem Fahrrad. Wir konnten von unserem Camp aus mit dem Fahrrad los düsen und die Natur erkunden und dabei entdeckten wir nicht nur Giraffen, auch einige Zebras, Gnus und eine riesige Gruppe Büffel beobachteten uns bei unserer Fahrradtour.

People have been complaining to me, that i don't take enough photos of my family, so this time made sure i took some. Here's a photo of my grandmother who lost her vision very recently but was quite happy to hear she looked good in the photograph...
Having had one look at Pacific National's steel shunt train to the Orrcon plant in Salisbury a couple of weeks before, I was keen to see if I could get closer to the bridge leading to the plant itself. A quick look at Google suggested a public park and walkway went close - and some free time before a few personal appointments led me to this spot. I had no idea there was still a timber trestle bridge on the standard gauge. Well, there is! It's also the site of some long-since abandoned office furniture. If the train isn't ready to return to Acacia Ridge yard before Queensland Rail's peak suburban services start, this train can sit here for a long time. 12 September 2018
While having a drink outside the Well and Bucket pub on Bethnal Green Road, Irene, Gillian and I met up with Amber - seen on the right of this picture. Amber was selling copies of ‘DOPE’ magazine, a quarterly street publication in newspaper format – essentially a journal of radical art and politics. 'DOPE' has become something of a rival to the better-known ‘Big Issue’ newspaper, sold by the homeless. Amber herself is currently without a fixed address.
Amber told us something of her former life as a sex worker, and how selling 'DOPE' had allowed her to quit that exploitive and dangerous sector. I wish we had had longer to talk with Amber, and I wish her all the best in all her endeavours. She had a lot of questions for Irene, Gillian and myself about our lives as t-girls…
Love and Kisses to All!

Have you ever seen anything like this before? Taken when I live in West Africa. We saw all manner of things, to include this.
I have developed this fascination towards doors and windows ever since I went to Dakshin Chitra. The doors and windows are such great avenues for play of light and that is probably the reason why I would like to work on a theme of 'Doors & Windows' sometime....
I loved the way in which the main room of the Chettinad house was lighted and wanted to create a different feel to the whole place. This unique looking door knob and the angle it offered was something that I could not let pass.
I have no idea what's going on here … and it's quite likely that there is really nothing going on.
I had been watching the guy in the middle for a while, mostly because he was staring intently at everyone who walked by. Or maybe not … maybe he was just listening to his music with great intensity.
But them the guy on the left strolled past, and the contrast between the two was so striking that I had to photograph it. I didn't even focus on the guy in the background, on the right hand side of the photo … but he seems to add to the overall mystery of the scene.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Sep 27, 2013.
************************
I had a brief business trip to Moscow in the fall of 2013 -- arriving in the city on a Saturday morning, relaxing for the rest of the weekend, then a day of intense business at a computer conference on Monday, and finally back to NYC on Tuesday morning -- and I was hoping that I could take advantage of my brief period of free time to get some photographs of the city. Ideally, I was hoping to visit Red Square at sunrise and sunset; and I even considered taking one of those garishly-colored tour buses around the city to see what might be interesting.
Alas, none of that happened, simply because of the weather: it was raining when I arrived on Saturday morning, it was raining harder when I left on Tuesday morning, and it drizzled and rained most of the time in between. Some people enjoy walking around in the rain, but I'm not one of them. I also don't really enjoy trying to photograph during rainy weather, though I know that it's sometimes possible to get some really interesting results. And I have to admit that I'm pretty paranoid about getting my digital cameras wet.
As it turned out, there was one brief break in the weather, late on the Sunday afternoon: the rain stopped, the clouds cleared, and the sun even came out. I grabbed my little Sony RX-100 MkII pocket camera, leaving my larger Sony A65 DSLR behind, and headed out of my hotel, walking a couple blocks up Neglinnaya Street to a shopping promenade on Kuznetskiy Most -- where there were throngs of people strolling, shopping, and enjoying various unrecognizable snacks and munchies from little food stalls along the street.
I walked around for a while, and then found a quiet bench where I could park myself and watch the ebb and flow of traffic in both directions on Kuznetskiy Most, snapping shots of anything (and anyone) that looked interesting. At the end of an hour, I had gotten some 375 shots … and then the clouds returned, and the rain commenced once again. I scampered back to my hotel before the rain got too heavy, uploaded the digital images to my laptop computer, and did most of the editing on the long 9-hour flight back to New York a couple days later.
A couple of these photos could have been taken anywhere: you can't really tell whether you're looking at something in the middle of New York City, or the middle of Moscow. But some of them -- indeed, most of them -- show us a mix of faces and dress styles and architecture that could only have been taken in Moscow...
I have always been different, even in school, when everyone else wanted to be police officers, firemen or astronauts, I wanted to be, a cat burglar.
I did of cause study along those lines getting older, but it is a very insecure proffesion, high profit at high risk and I never really have been into money. I can't seem to put my heart in something just for profit. But I CAN put my heart into something, that involve passion, desire, lust and magical attraction, sign me up. That is why I chose, the career of the Tranny.
But why, when I could be everything I wanted, did I choose to become a T-girl?
Well you see, even when I was young, I in secret studied women closely, the sexy beautiful women that is and just as secretly, I envied them.
You probably went around life looking at buildings, admiring their beauty, their fine lines, which inspirered you to become an architect. Or perhaps you find pratical work so alluring, you just HAVE to work at a factory 8 hours a day, in order to obtain satisfaction.. or maybe, you find the intriguing "cut throat" competition of the "corperate firm" so challenging, you just have to be a part of such a ”team” of individualist, all struggling to please the Lords of the corperation? But I chose to devote my time, to study more closely and in intimate detail, the life of a feminine creature.
Been a tranny is much like being an artist, except from the fact, that no one really appreciate your art. Which I guess, might perhaps be much the same disappointment a cat burglar feel, from time to time.

We have an amazing birding tour at Santa Marta area with, Natural History (Orchids, frogs, birds and mammals endemic) and Photography tours to the best wildlife areas in Colombia for to see this that is among the most magnificent endemics birds in the world! Screech Owl species that often can be found close to the lodge. Black-fronted Wood-Quail, Santa Marta Toucanet, White-tipped Quetzal, Strong-billed Woodcreeper, Streak-capped Spinetail, Gray-throated Leaftosser, Santa Marta Antpitta, Golden-breasted Fruiteaters, Black-hooded Thrush and White-lored Warblers can all be found in the forests adjacent to the lodge. There are several trails helpful for locating skulking birds, although the best birding is often along the lightly-traveled road. Many of the endemics are found primarily at higher elevations above the lodge, including Santa Marta Parakeet, White-tailed Starfrontlet, Rusty-headed Spinetail, the distinctive endemic subspecies of the Rufous Antpitta, Brown-rumped Tapaculo, Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant, Santa Marta Mountain Tanager, Yellow-crowned Whitestart and Santa Marta Warbler. The peaks of the Sierra -the highest in Colombia- are usually visible in the early morning. Don't forget to watch the skies for Scaly-naped Parrots and several raptors: Andean Condor, Black-and-chestnut Eagle, and Semicollared Hawk. There are also fantastic birds to be found along the road below the lodge. The forest here is largely excellent; search for Blossomcrown, Keel-billed Toucan, an endemic foliage-gleaner that awaits formal scientific description (formerly considered a subspecies of Ruddy Foliage-gleaner), Gray-throated Leaftosser, Scaled and Rusty-breasted Antpittas, Santa Marta Tapaculo, Venezuelan Tyrannulet, Orange-billed Nightingale Thrush, Rufous-breasted Wren, Black-headed Tanager.

HAve a great TGIF all my Flickr friends and fans..... Glad it is friday and now I can sleep normal after the baseball games has ended and my team has won the World Series in baseball this year..... Over 4 million at the parade today in NYC for the Yankees....
Spent yesterday wandering around Chelsea looking at all the wonderful floral displays of Chelsea in Bloom. The day was only marred by the cancelled train home. More uploads to come in the next few days
Having taken on sufficient water, NYMR guest locomotive, LNER Class B1 4-6-0 No. 61264 makes a positioning manoeuvre at Keighley Station in preparation for working the 10:30 Keighley to Oxenhope Passenger Service, comprising 6-Coach Corridor Set, on a dull 3rd March 2017, the first day of the KWVR 2017 Winter Steam Gala.
I have just gotten YouTube! Please take the time to subscribe to me, comment on my videos, and like my vids!
I'll be posting moc reviews on almost anything that I build.
Pictured in the screenshot is the Gun Sniper.
Feel free to note the crap out of this pic.
Happy Festivus!*
*If you understand the Festivus referance, then you know good television.
Why have I never been here before!
Long Meg and her Daughters - a properly impressive (and suitably sized) stone circle in Cumbria. Long Meg herself (the tall, angular stone well in the distance) has some clear ring marks carved into the sandstone surface too.
I must go back when I have more time to explore!
I have become more and more fascinated with the little planthoppers, leafhoppers, and have been searching for treehoppers. I must not have a good search image since I have yet to find any of the latter. No problem finding the planthoppers....this one might be Acanalonia bivittata?
Snow White is that you? I'm really impressed with how wonderful she looks now, especially considering that my forte isn't making over porcelain dolls. I'm used to American Girls and fashion dolls, who are far less delicate and fiddly. But I have some limited experience sprucing up my grandmother's porcelain dolls that Colleen and I kept after she passed away. It's actually very handy that my grandmother was so fanatical about keeping her dolls pristine, because even though they got banged up and dirty from their journey to our house (when Memeré was in the hospital and lost her apartment), many still had their care tags on their wrists. According to the tags I read, it is recommended to clean porcelain dolls with a little water and "mild soap." Obviously it is not ideal to ensconce the doll fully in water, as they have cloth bodies with wire. And unlike American Girl dolls, most porcelain dolls are glued together, so they can't be unstrung, de-stuffed, cleaned, and then reassembled. Plus their wire posing mechanisms could rust inside their bodies if they are soaked in water. I tried to approach Snow White's makeover as delicately as possible. I scrubbed her porcelain face and limbs with dish soap and water, like I would for any doll. I even used a little baking soda after seeing how sturdy her face paint was. Then I rinsed these parts with the sprayer on the sink, on a low flow, to avoid getting her cloth body wet. To do Snow White's hair, I laid her body on the kitchen counter and used the sprayer to wet her hair. I then washed and conditioned her hair the way I would any doll. The only thing I noticed was that Snow White's wig was not glued down well at all. It started to peel off, but I wasn't concerned as I knew I could glue it right back down. When I boil washed her, I tried not to put the top of her head, where glue would be underneath, in the water. Instead I combed the hot water up to the top of her scalp, like I would for an American Girl (or a Barbie with bangs that I don't want to straighten). After her initial boil wash, I decided that Snow White's kanekalon locks were still not that nice looking. Plus, some of her curls were flatter than others. So I rolled her hair in curlers, and boil washed it again. I then drizzled diluted gel and water on the rollers and all over Snow's hair, to tame the fly aways (I always do this for all my dolls--diluted gel works wonders). When she was mostly dry, I removed the rollers and positioned the curls the way I wanted them to sit, and let her finish drying. The only major, unanticipated problem I encountered was with Snow White's eyelashes. Unlike fashion dolls with three dimensional eyelashes (which are often rooted), Snow's weren't glued down well. The water from her cleaning actually caused the glue to dissolve, and one of her eyelashes came off (the other was fine). Using tweezers, toothpicks, and some special glue for ceramics, I reattached her eyelashes. It wasn't hard at all, but I took my time to make sure they were positioned properly. I opted not to use super glue on her eyelashes (like I did to reattach her wig), because I was afraid it would fog up her eyes--super glue has that effect sometimes. The ceramic glue I used worked great, and pretty quickly too. Her eyelashes are very secure now, and you'd never know one had come off at some point. I also wasn't sure what kind of eyes Snow White had--if they were glass or acrylic. I have a feeling they are lower quality like Liv doll eyes or Bratzillaz, but I didn't want to take any chances. So I made sure to blow dry her eye sockets (on a cold setting--you never want to use warm). I always do this for my American Girls, in order to dry/push out any water that may have gotten behind their eye sockets. While Snow White probably doesn't have a metal backing like AG dolls, I recall that when I fixed up my aunt's childhood Shirley Temple doll, her eyes fogged up from the water. The blow dryer technique got rid of the water and the fogginess (it's actually thanks to Shirley that I learned said technique). Once Snow White's hair and outfit were dry (I washed her clothes too), I redressed her, and voila she looked like new! My favorite part about Snow White's transformation has to be her smell. She now smells exactly like my grandmother used to--I'm not sure why, but I love it. She really feels like my doll now, and I'm actually proud that I was able to fix up a porcelain doll without destroying her, since as I mentioned, I mostly only fix up fashion dolls/American Girl dolls. It's always great to get more experience fixing up a variety of dolls, and I've definitely learned some new things from restoring this Snow White doll!
