No less than 6 class 37s could be found on Carlisle Kingmoor TMD on 30/08/18, with 5 in this shot. BR Large Logo 37401 'Mary Queen of Scots' was at the northern end of the site, whilst 37259, 37059, 37069 and 37218 sit in line with 37403 'Isle of Mull' on one of the shed roads.
58' 44" separation. C8 with .63 reducer / corrector. A close fit with lens aberrations for an interesting effect.
Repeating layrers of clay /calcium carbonate/ clay settled down, and have been eroded by the sea. The calcium carbonate layers resist less, the clay layers more, resulting in this unique pattern.
What do you think ?
sometimes less is more
if you don´t see the eyes it may be even more atmospheric
Ballerina yeah as if. Less Swan Lake more Hippo lake :-)
Actually its a swing dress I wore to dance class last night and for once it wasn't too hot. While being escorted back to my car by Jamie (He is a gent doesn't like me walking to the car in the dark) a passing young girl said how much see liked my dress! That made me feel soooooo good.
The journey home wasn't so good though as it was misty and the main road home was blocked by the police who turned us all back around in the direction I had just come from. So I got home later than I wanted :-(.
Still had a great evening.
As much fun as going out can be, sometimes it's just as nice to spend time relaxing at home.
There's a profound sense of normalcy in going about our day or evening while dressed in a way that makes us feel happiest.
So just as the challenge of being out and about in public becomes less daunting over time, the times we spend quietly at home feel increasingly natural as we simply "exist" in our feminine state.

Another non hdr shot just a little touch up on the light, this will form part of my Non Hdr set)
Excuse the makeup its all a little red. I was just using some very light foundation that doesn't cover to well hence the red/pink tone.
Anyway this is all about the fact i don't have to run backwards and forwards to set the self timer for i now have a remote yay.
It makes life so much easier and gives time to sort skirts out and stuff.
They're so cute I hated to shoot it. It's them or the chickens.
Country living.
I was up all night, pumping water out of the crawl space from the crazy rain we had.

Have never done either one.
But, I have been in love and like to go on.
In color or in monochrome
Secured or liberating
Love is no less dangerous
Nor any less amazing. :)
GADZOOKS!

Cool!
Lila and I went on a field trip to the Caprock Wildlife Habitat Area, east of Roswell, NM. The field trip was once again led by the very able Bob "Wildbird" Johnson.
You have to get up before the chickens, get all set up in total darness and then wait in the freezing cold. I think these images made it all worthwhile however.

This is the view from inside one end of the viaduct to the other. I have long meant to go there to take this view and as we were visiting Borde Hill garden, which is less than a mile away, today I took the opportunity
Information:
"The viaduct is 96 feet (29 m) high and is carried on 37 semi-circular arches, each of 30 feet (9.1 m), surmounted by balustrades, spanning a total length of 1,480 feet (450 m). Each pier contains a Jack arch with a semi-circular soffit to reduce the number of bricks required. At each end of the abutment is an ornamental square open tower, the brickwork of which is faced with stone from Heddon Quarries near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The viaduct was designed by engineer for the line John Urpeth Rastrick in association with the architect of the London to Brighton railway, David Mocatta. It has been described as "probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain."
Work to build the ornate viaduct began shortly after an Act of Parliament was passed in July 1837 giving the London & Brighton Railway company assent to construct the line to the south coast. More than 11 million bricks were shipped across the English Channel from the Netherlands to Newhaven and Lewes. Caen stone was also brought from Normandy in France. Building materials were transported to the construction site on barges up the Ouse River Navigation.
The Brighton main line was opened in two sections because completion was delayed by the need to construct some major earthworks. The viaduct was officially opened when the section between Norwood Junction - Haywards Heath was opened on 12 July 1841. Initially there was only one track in operation. The second line along with the viaduct's ornate stone parapets and pavilions were not completed until the following year.
By 1846, the viaduct had become part of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. In 1923 it became part of the Southern Railway network until nationalisation of the Big Four (British railway companies) in 1948.
Despite the structure's fine design, materials and architectural features, the viaduct has had an expensive and problematic history.
First, in the 1890s major repairs were made to the brickwork because engineers of the late Victorian era were concerned that the original lime mortar used in the viaduct's construction was inadequate. It was decided that this should be replaced with cement mortar. However, replacement facing brickwork and substandard mortar eventually caused its own failures prompting more expensive repairs. Second, as the parapets and pavilions were made from Caen stone, a high-quality limestone, they have been subject to heavy weathering. By 1956, the damage was extensive but the cost of refurbishment work was deemed too much by British Railways, the UK's nationalised rail operator.
Although by May 1983, the viaduct had been made a Grade II* listed building, its eight pavilions were in such a poor condition that some of their roofs had fallen in and internal props were required to stop them collapsing further. English Heritage refused British Rails' request to demolish the buildings. The fabric of the structure continued to deteriorate over the next decade. Stonework had begun to fall away from the balustrades and parapets.
Starting in 1996 - with grants from West Sussex County Council, Railway Heritage Trust and English Heritage - the viaduct underwent a £6.5 million renovation over seen by Railtrack. Harder wearing limestone was imported from Bordeaux to ensure the closest match with the existing Caen stone in the balustrades and pavilions. Some of the piers had to be reconstructed because of failures in the Victorian brickwork. The new bricks were handmade in a variety of sizes to suit the existing brickwork and set in a sand, cement and lime mortar. Throughout the work, one line always remained open while restoration was carried out on the other side of the viaduct. The project, which was took more than three years, was completed in September 1999."

Before anyone got more or less addicted to their phone, this was a classic way of entertainment for kids. He's got pictured slides and is telling the story to them before moving to the next slide. In a way motion picture just analog. This gentleman is keeping this tradition alive and kids are enjoying it. A scene you can see almost every weekend in Neko dori.
