This monument was built in 1905 in memory of the 1854 scuttling of the Russian Black Sea Fleet during the Crimean War. The sunken ships served as an underwater wall that protected Sevastopol's harbor from the Allied Brittish, French, and Ottoman Navies. This memorial has become the primary icon for the legendary town of Sevastopol.

Not a bad day to be a dragon.
Still, fairy tales are best kept to the sporting arena. Official literature is not the place for myths and legends.
In other news, Mr Blair looked quite haggard yesterday in my opinion. Just imagine what the portrait in his attic might look like.
At this time I would like to take the opportunity to confirm I do not have in my possession or under my control a dodo or a unicorn.

This is the legendary bull race held in Kerala in the month of August to coincide with the Onam festival. The race track is about 100 plus metres of a field filled with water for days and at the finishing point an embankment of about 5 feet. The bulls are supposed to turn left and do a 360 degrees but that would happen only about 50 percent of the times.
The bulls run in their racing frenzy and it is a feat of human endurance to keep up with them in that medium of slush and mud and water and bare feet. The embankment is littered with human beings and there is not a square inch of space to shoot. Thankfully that day there was a dispute in the running and judging at about 530 pm so a lot of visitors on the finishing point embankment left and it was the opportunity to shoot what with the sun highlighting the runners in the golden light.
This is again from the year 2007 and another fine photog from Kerala Hari Menon was also traveling with me to shoot this. I am putting this up after a bit of tinkering with editing and cropping.

Haven't tried these two but Greene King are expanding their range. Icebreaker pale ale is rather nice, I've discovered. (I've long been a fan of their traditional stuff.)
I made a quick art... (and by quick I mean 4 hours) to celebrate the legendary Naomi Campbell's birthday today.
Before anyone says it: I know Mew is pink. I don't have pink.
This was a lot harder to build then expected, especially the head. Turns out, there are about 20 or so pieces here that are not connected to the body by any legitimate connection (only by entrapment or friction). And I made some proportioning compromises for aesthetic reasons.
Hope you like.

It's arguably the most iconic Ferrari of all time. The Ferrari F40 has been sought after by collectors and enthusiasts all around the world and has been hailed by those that have been fortunate enough to experience them. I rode in this car for the first time last week; it was a brief ride, but it definitely made an impression. Yesterday, the owner and I got together to do a photoshoot with the F40, so I was extremely excited to ride in it again. This time it was for a much longer drive so I got to really experience the car in various situations. The car is brutal. It's raw, it's edgy, and it's very, VERY impressive. When you consider that this car has been around for as long as I've been alive, it puts everything into perspective. Another owner once mentioned that he did a 10-hour long drive in his F40 and was dying to get out at the end. I spent about an hour and a half or so in one sprint before our first stop and was totally comfortable the entire time. Not saying that a 10-hour drive would be totally comfortable, but I was surprised that it held up so well. Anyway, we get done with our photoshoot and are heading back home. I ask how this compares to other Ferraris (the 328 that I drove, the F50, etc). He explained how it feels so different than anything else out there. He then offered to let me drive. We switched seats and walked me through driving it (everything from when to shift on certain gears, braking methods, how the throttle would respond, etc.) So I headed off onto an almost vacant freeway. The clutch is heavy, the throttle is hard, and the brakes are tough. Once I got used to it, it was extremely rewarding. The steering is pin-sharp and the feedback through the wheel, pedal, and seats is fantastic. The brake pedal is very hard, but the feel is outstanding. The shift knob is a lot stiffer than the 328, but I actually like it. Once those turbos spool up, they unleash their fury as if they were opening the gates of Hell. You can feel the car (especially the rear) hunker down and hug the road like a Vice Grip on a plank of wood. The turbos hiss away and you see the boost gauge increase at a rapid pace. You're thrown back into the seat while holding onto the steering wheel with a death grip. I glance down to see the speedo race past...well, if I said I'd get thrown in jail or at least a hefty ticket fine. Off the gas and the exhaust burbles and fires off shots like a back-alley gun fight. After driving the car for a number of miles, I said to Mike, "This can get really, REALLY addicting." I've driven 9 Ferraris now. This was the most difficult car I've ever driven, but it was also extremely rewarding.

I have actually had this doll in my collection for a little while now but never had a chance to take a picture of her. She is just so perfect... i do not even dare redressing her yet 😊

Our TG Rocktober group photo just after getting photos back stage with the show host Frank Marino of the Legendary Divas at the Tropicana, Las Vegas.
It was just a boring Sunday, but I wanted to go out of the house a bit and I decided to go spotting. It was very empty in the town. A R8 V10 passed me right after a friend in his CL 63 made a nice acceleration. But some time later, I found this very rare Ferrari Mondial t. It looks really nice, but it's not very popular with the Ferraristi, because it is a 2+2 seater. I hope you like this shot and yes, the blindeffect is from photoshop.

On August 31, 2021, the legendary Rio Grande Southern Railroad was brought back to life (if only for a day). Built in 1891 by Otto Mears, the original RGS was located in Colorado’s southwest corner and ran between Durango and Ridgway via Lizard Head Pass, hauling coal, silver ore, and other goods from the mining communities of Telluride and Rico. The RGS was profitable for only a few years before a silver panic crippled its finances, but nevertheless it managed to stay in business, struggling through two world wars before running its last train in 1951. Following this, its 3-foot-gauge rails were taken up.
Rio Grande Southern No. 20, an 1899 Schenectady Ten-Wheeler, is one of four RGS steam locomotives still in existence. It was preserved by the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club in 1952 when the RGS was abandoned and over the years was cosmetically restored for display, first in Alamosa and later at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. After fifty years sitting cold, No. 20 was transported to the Strasburg Rail Road in Strasburg, Penn., for a top-to-bottom restoration beginning in 2006 that took 12 long years to compete. The restoration was spearheaded by a donation from the Moedinger family of Pennsylvania, who put up $400,000 for the effort. After additional fundraising, No. 20 finally steamed again around the loop track at the Colorado Railroad Museum in 2020.
While a 3/4th mile loop is nice for a short train ride, Jeff Taylor and others at CRRM desired take No. 20 to a railroad where it could really stretch its legs. That opportunity came in 2021. For No. 20’s first major outing since restoration the museum took the 4-6-0 to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad at Antonito, Colorado. Its visit coincided with the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup, held in in celebration of the C&TS’s 50th anniversary, which featured four locomotives built before 1900.
The trip with No. 20 on August 31 was sponsored by TRAINS Magazine, with editor Jim Wrinn and video producer Kevin Gilliam coordinating the event for photographers. The event was dubbed “Sunset on the Rio Grande Southern.”
Tickets for the event went fast, despite it costing nearly $900. The primary goal of “Sunset on the Rio Grande Southern” was to recreate an RGS trip that the late William Moedinger photographed in 1941, with the brakeman riding the pilot beam to watch for landslides. The first half of the consist matched the train that Moedinger photographed that day, which was featured on the cover of TRAINS in February 1942. William Moedinger’s son Linn was the person that did much of the restoration work on No. 20 during its time in Pennsylvania.
Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-2 No. 463, owned by the C&TS, was re-lettered as long-scrapped Rio Grande Southern No. 455 for the trip, and doubleheaded with No. 20. Thanks to decades of hard work by the Friend of the C&TS, the Cumbres & Toltec was able to provide a long string of authentic narrow-gauge equipment with an authentic RGS short caboose bringing up the markers. The scenery on the C&TS between Antonito and Osier is similar to the territory the RGS ran in.
The charter was an incredible experience and recreated scenes that hadn’t been seen since the 1940s. Was it worth the money? I’ll let you be the judge of that, but for me it certainly was. A big thanks is due Jim Wrinn and Kevin Gilliam, plus the men and women of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic for making it all possible.
