Edinburgh to Euston service speeds along on it's final leg of a long journey south. Class 9 is used for certain higher speed services those days
On a warm May morning in 2013, the herd of goobs gathered along the NKP mainline for a 765 deadhead move were treated to an even better catch in the form of this ex-Southern GP38-2 leading L75 east towards Leipsic. After letting 234 go by them at Continental, the two EMD's split the NKP intermediates at Kieferville.
The dark foreground are the hills of Tanay, then Laguna lake, interrupted by the peninsula of Angono, then returning to the rest of Laguna Lake, then Metro Manila with its skyline, then Manila Bay, then the mountains of Bataan peninsula.

"Last judging I recieved third. I was expecting higher since I showed by far the most connection and chemistry with my male model but whatever, I'm still at the top and slaying. This week we had to do a beauty close-up and we had to think of everything ourselves - all the other girls were like, covering themselves in paint and crap like that and I thought they all looked freaking ridiculous so I decided to keep my shot classy and glitzy. I obviously rocked it as per usual!"
I'm sorry this is late! I actually found this theme really difficult even though it was only a beauty shot, I struggled thinking of a concept and eventually I ended up with this. I kinda went with a Beyonce/Glitz and Glam sort of shot.
I hope you like it anyway! :)

The "Manchester Wheel" circles above the crowds. Higher still is the trail of an airplane. Both are real and reflected in Selfridges (I think) windows. This is one of the few images on my photostream that I conceived beforehand, but I hadn't planned for the airplane trail (which I think adds something to the overall result)
I took quite a few variants of this, each from a slightly diffferent perspective. It seemed obvious to angle it so the line of the glass split the image exactly in two down the centre, with the airplane trails nicely joining up. But in the final analysis I much preferred this offset version.
I came across this at Dunham Massey today and think it is an Emerald Damselfly, though I've never seen one before. I only managed a couple of shots and at higher ISO than I'd have liked, before it started to rain and it flew off.

Nikon 800 | ISO 100 | 24-70mm lens at 38mm | f / 9.0 | 1/250 second, lit by one SB900 subject left, camera right and one behind subject.
The aftermath of the first stage of demolition. The final tall stack would be brought down about 25 minutes later.
This odd-looking gem is a columnar snowflake, which are more common than you might imagine at the beginning and end of winter where the temperatures are warmer. View large!
The reason why you might not see these crystals is because of their size and difficulty to photograph. Measuring between 0.5mm and 2mm long, this type of snowflake is much smaller than most, and also more three dimensional. Higher magnifications are required and focus stacking becomes incredibly complex as the depth and edges of all sides are viewable through the transparent structure.
It’s tough to describe exactly what most of these lines and shapes define, but let’s see if I can describe at least one: what sticks out the farthest grows the fastest. In a more traditional snowflake you can see this by branches forming at the corners because they stick out farther and accumulate new water vapour faster, but in this scenario we have a good look at the other facets of the crystal and how they are affected by the same “rule”.
You might notice some echoing rectangular shapes, as well as little “crowning” elements near the top of the crystal along the outer edges. The rectangles form because the center of the facet grows slower than the outer edges, becoming indented and creating a surface where the center of each facet is recessed and all of the “framework” surrounding it protrudes further out. This is the exact same way that bubbles from inside of normal snowflakes.
With a keen eye and knowing what exactly to look for here, you would also be able to tell than the crystal is hollow. There are conical cavities that grow larger towards the top and the bottom for the same reason. All formed in a few short minutes!
This snowflake was photographed WELL beyond the limits of standard macro photography. At 12:1 magnification (12 times closer than your normal macro lens will get), you push up against certain limitations of physics (the diffraction of light, specifically) that limit resolution, and depth of field doesn’t really exist. The shooting technique is much the same as for “regular” snowflakes, lit with a ring flash and focus stacked to get everything needed. Only 20 shots were required for this one to cover the depth from forward to back, but with so many transparent interactions, much of the process needs to be done manually.
I have the components on my way to me that will allow the construction of a 20:1 lens based around a microscope objective so that I may get greater detail in the tiniest snowflakes. You’ll see this new gear put to use as soon as it’s assembled!
Curious about photographing snowflakes yourself and want to know where to start? You absolutely need a copy of Sky Crystals: Unraveling the Mysteries of Snowflakes. The book is contains every single step of the process that I go through to create these images – as well as all the science for how they form! Grab a copy here: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - note the price in Canadian dollars, it’s quite a deal for those in the US!
No snow in Knoxville yet but we had some in the higher elevations this weekend.

Creed
"Higher"
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Higher Ground
I'm so darn glad He let me try it again
'Cause my last time on Earth, I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Going to keep on trying
'Til I reach my highest ground

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
This rather bleak muddy landscape at least shows that blue skies are not always integral to my posts. It was the only day of the holiday that the skies were grey . It's certainly not pretty image, though the Solway is classed as an Area of outstanding natural beauty,. The image shows a small part of the estuary of the Solway Firth, a place I had never visited before . It's taken from Bowness-on- Solway and you are looking across the border at Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland . Although in the shot there is a vast expanse of mud if I had waited the whole area would have been covered in water from the Irish Sea at High tide .
The Solway has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world. My friend who lives at Bowness says that the tide comes in very quickly and the area is hard to navigate as the tidal force shits the sand and mud banks around. There are times at high tide when the road to her house is flooded and she has to wait on higher ground till the tide turns . There is no bridge across the Solway though for a period between 1869 and 1935 a rail bridge existed
Bowness - on- Solway has one other claim to fame its the beginning of the Roman Hadrians Wall though there is very little to see of it
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
