British Summer Time In Hyde Park – an annual day out provided there is a decent headliner. Sunshine helps. And I’ll even put up with the overpriced but tasty drinks and food (lemon sole gorgons anyone ?). None of this could excuse one of the worst support slots by an established band I have ever witnessed – yes, that’s you Mike (and your Mechanics) – music for washing the car to in the dullest suburbs of Britain. Blondie – a hot party band of my teenage years – surpassed expectations. Of course we’d have all swapped the new album tracks for Presence and Denis but the opening One Way and a frenetic Rapture more than made up. Debbie ? 72 ? I’ll have some of whatever she is on… So the headliner Phil Collins. Easy to denigrate. Frighteningly decrepit due to recent medical shenanigans, his standing for the encore is the first song this tour that he’s not sat to perform. Mixed bag, not helped by a sound system that sometimes struggled with the conditions, but anything that was supported by the wonderful brass section flew. A surprisingly moving version of Follow You Follow Me underlined via the accompanying visuals how frail Phil Collins has become – and getting an emotional reaction to anything in the vastness of Hyde Park has to be considered an achievement for anyone.

Over the years, Burlington Northern has used quite a few different locomotive models to help trains over Nebraska's Crawford Hill. Even LMX B39-8s were tested up here for a short period. Back in May 1995, BN was using relatively new SD70MAC pairs to help the coal trains over the top. Here a loaded train heads uphill with a pair, while another set glides down the hill back to Crawford.
So I decided to rework my Easy Eight, because it's quality was...lacking. I build it from scratch, and so far I think it looks pretty good. But now comes the big problem: the suspension. I like the suspension on Dan's Easy Eight, but I don't want to have light gray wheels. Any suggestions?
C&C as always greatly appreciated.
I hope you guys like it and can help me out.
Simon
BTW, sorry for the bad photo quality :(

During the ‘naughties’ I paid a few visits to Crosshaven on the west side of Cork Harbour as it offered a good location for ship photography.
Located above Crosshaven is the impressive bastion of Camden Fort Meagher.
Today it is a museum and tourist attraction which I must visit when I get to return to Cork. However, back then it was an abandoned site which was firmly locked up with two substantial gates one each side of a bridge over a very deep, dry moat.
However, when I visited on July 29, 2006 both the outer and inner pedestrian gates were open!
There was no sign of life.
I couldn't resist the temptation to take a quick look inside!
However, being aware that should the gates be closed and locked I would have no means of escape and having left my mobile phone in my car I would have had no means of summoning help.
Hence, I only spent about 10 minutes inside and didn’t wander far beyond the view of the entrance.
In the early 2000s this historic site faced and uncertain future but by the 2013 when I sailed past on the MV BOUDICCA restoration was clearly underway. I was pleased to see it featured in a recent episode of UKTV Play’s Underground Worlds.
A Short History of Fort Meagher
Fort Meagher was originally constructed by the British Military along with other coastal defences in the Cork Harbour area during the Napoleonic Wars. During the British rule the fort bore the name Fort Camden - after the second Early of Camden, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1795. It occupies a 60 acre site 200 feet above sea level.
Fort Meagher is situated on the west side of the entrance to Cork Harbour. On the opposite side of the entrance lies Fort Davis (Fort Carlisle) which is still used by the Irish Army.
Between 1850 and 1865 the fort served as a convict prison. It was returned to military use being extended and extended present size during the period 1875 to 1880 using both contract and convict labour from the nearby Spike Island convict prison.
During this extension 30 additional guns were installed
A narrow gauge railway was installed to handle torpedoes in the 1890s, remains of the tracks are visible down on the quay.
There is a tunnel engineered to house a torpedo system invented by Louis Philip Brennan on the site as well as other extensive underground tunnels and a large underground magazine
Along with other military bases in the Cork Harbour area the British garrison remained 1938. However with war clouds looming in Europe and the presence of the British military threatening Irish neutrality the British withdrew on July 11, 1938 from Cork Harbour, along with the other "Treaty Ports", and they were handed over to the then Irish Free State Army.
The Irish Army renamed the fort after Thomas Francis Meagher. Meagher was born in the City of Waterford, Ireland, in 1823. He was educated at Stonyhurst College, in Lancashire, England and played a key part in the Young Ireland Rebellion in 1848.
After the rebellion he was sentenced to transportation to a penal colony in Tasmania from where he escaped to the United States of America.
He fought on the Union side in the American Civil War rising to the rank of Brigadier General, following the war he became Governor of Montana and died in a drowning "accident" in 1867.
Fort Meagher was occupied by the army during "The Emergency" as WWII is often referred to in Ireland. Following the war it was used by the Irish Naval Service.
In 1989 the fort was sold to Cork County Council. It is now a museum and open April to October each year.

So I bought this old Kodak lens for $30USD because I want the shutter for a pinhole board. Shutter works great (at least in B and T modes which is all I care about). But I don't see that the front and rear lens elements just screw off the shutter like my 4x5 lenses. Anyone know before I go at this thing with vice grips?

Do your bit..
Help!
I cant quite believe I went in here...creepy!
This is inside the bricked up Cold Christmas Church. Its derelict, dangerous and trashed but remote and lovely, it dates back to 1086. The 15th Century Tower has been left intact along with the graveyard. Over the years there have been stories and accounts of strange happenings here. Reports of an evil presence inside of the tower are probably helped by the appearance of signs and symbols inside. I trudged on foot with all my gear, not truly knowing what Id find. I was as intrigued by the name as anything else!

Blue Cruiser
It was fascinating to watch over the side of the cruise ship as this boat drops off a local to Numea to help the cruise ship thru the narrow passage of water deep enough so not to disturb any of the coral surrounding the islands that we visited. My husband said it was quite amazing seeing the colors and sights under the water when snorkling.
We went to a captains talk one afternoon whilst cruising. He was thoroughly entertaining and by gee he told us some astonishing facts on just how things operate within the ship.
This was a cute little wooden tribute to the Fab Four at 70 penny Lane. It is a sort of copy of the Help album cover. and shows Paul George Ringo & John ( L to R ) I think that's right anyway!
I just thought it looked good as a silhouette against the sky...
Not at all the final layout. I have 12 of these blocks that are fairly large, I guess around 24" x 22" The question is what next. I originally thought of having coins around and am now thinking that is way too busy. But each block definitely needs another border of some type before being sashed together.
Help!
What do you think?
-Christmas Time is Here. <--Yes I still listen to Chirtmas music.
I can't believe that I'm almost to 100. I feel like I just started yesterday.
I'm going to take an English and art class later this year. I'm real excited about that.
I'm still learning to take it one day at a time though.

This is my newest addition. She is almost mint except or the slightly greenish fading at her ears. I have heard of multiple ways of fixing this discolouration on mod dolls and was wondering if anyone here on flickr has experience with any of them.
Here are a few of the methods I have heard of:
copic markers
prismacolor markers
pantone markers
rit dye
Can everyone please help me if they can. I would like to know what you consider to be the best method and If you could give me hints, tips, or instructions it would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
I knew there must be something more in this photograph than the water and the sky and the trees in the distance and the curve of the dead tree in the foreground and the shadow of the fragment of the dead tree towards the right bottom corner of the photograph.
There had to be something more: a naked woman, perhaps (best). a raccoon gnawing on a carp (better), a cat gazing off into the distance, dreaming of killing a warbler (awful). Yet for the life of me, even with my glasses on (cheap drugstore reading glasses), even with my glasses freshly-cleaned with soap and tap water, I couldn't find it, the hidden figure. I needed a magnifying glass.
I didn't know where my magnifying glass was (I actually have two). But I knew there was a magnifier on my iPhone. It took me half-an-hour to find Magnifier, pull it out of my App Library, and place it on one of my app screens. I am one of those old white males the great writer Clare Vaye Watkins, one of the freshest faces in American fiction (I highly recommend her, especially her book of short stories, Battleborn, which she has pretty much disowned, because she says it panders to old white males, like me). She says she is done pandering. I felt I needed someone, anyone, to pander to me long enough to help me find and install the Magnifier icon.
Only when I finally found Magnifier and got it installed did I find the boy. The very well camouflaged boy. The indavertantly camouflaged boy.
In an infinitude of universes, in an infinitude of time, this boy has an infinitude of existences. Some of them are best. Some of them are better. Some of them are good. Some of them, alas, are awful.
But here there is only one existence for this boy, in this photograph. Perhaps this is the last trace of him. Perhaps somewhere his body lies mouldering in the ground. But that is not him. Perhaps as living breathing human being he lives only here.
Perhaps that is enough.
