A traditional family movie day here. We arrived early to sit together and choice seats center and sat eye level with the screen to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. #cy365 day328 'thankful for eye level'....

Early works during April 2019 to remove the level crossing at Reservoir in Melbourne's northern suburbs where the rail line passes through the middle of a major intersection of High Street, Cheddar Road East and West, Broadway and Edwardes Street in the centre of the Reservoir shopping area.
The proposal at this site is to raise the line above the intersection using the 'Skyrail' design used by the Andrews Government in other locations around Melbourne - notably between Caulfield and Dandenong and for the South Morang to Mernda extension. A new station will be built on the viaduct but the tangled intersection of roads will remain beneath, albeit with an additional direct east-west connection between Broadway and Edwardes Street.
The line opened in 1889 as part of a longer line to Whittlesea with initial access to the city via the former Inner Circle line prior to a direct connection via Jolimont opening in 1901 and a direct link past the Inner Circle junction in 1904 which remains today as a sharp curve in the line near Rushall.
Electrification reached Reservoir in 1921 which was extended to Thomastown with the latter extension originally using wooden poles. Post War urban growth led to short extensions of the electric service to Lalor in 1959 and Epping in 1964. By then the railmotor service to Whittlesea had ceased with the line closed in November 1959 although the corridor remained intact. This has been used in more recent years to rebuilt the line as an electric service to South Morang in 2011 and Mernda in 2018 as urban sprawl heads north. Today the line is within 9km of the original Whittlesea terminus.

Shots from 2015 of the Main Road level crossing at St Albans station that was replaced with a rail-under-road grade separation the following year along with a nearby location at Furlong Road - a project which involved the rebuilding of new low level stations at both St Albans and Ginnifer.
St Albans for most of its history was the limit of suburban electrification which was completed in 1921 when Melbourne's urban footprint did not extend far beyond West Footscray and most trains terminated at Sunshine. Post war urban expansion gradually extended toward St Albans eventually warranting the extension of services and relocation of the station to the Melbourne side of the level crossing in 1959 with a dock platform for terminating trains meaning only country trains passed through the level crossing.
In more recent years the lopsided east urban sprawl of Melbourne has begun to spread west with development towards Sydneham resulted in extension of suburban services there in January 2002 and beyond to Sunbury in November 2012.
The extensions meant many more trains passing through the level crossing and traffic held up for extended periods through St Albans with the boom gates down. Political pressure to grade separate this location mounted and the project was announced as a package for Main Road, Furlong Road and a third location at Heatherdale near Ringwood in Melbourne's east.

The second level of what is collectively known as Brasstown Falls. The water level seemed a little low today, compared to the last time I was there. It worked out decently for the cascades, but I think the veil suffered for it. Oh well, I still nearly killed myself at the top of the third level (the sluice), getting in position to shoot the second level.
Apologies for post-processing woes - I can't tell what's what on this laptop screen.
From the BCN Old Main Line Canal - Wolverhampton Level in Smethwick - I saw a bridge. Turns out it is the aqueduct for the Engine Arm Canal.
Had hoped to exit the canals through here but it looked like a dead end (so had to retrace my steps back to Rolfe Street which only took 10 minutes).

The taxi driver gave me an odd look when I asked him to drop me off on this street corner. I even enjoyed a bowl of Pho with the locals.
Leveling Leg Mod after Reuben Krabbe - his first version - he's now got two versions! (In his version 2, the normal setting geometry is compromised and the resistance to the strut attachment slipping is not 'absolute' - still considering that one - have got some ideas.)
I find my MSE 'Light (Wt) Heavy (Duty) triple riser' aluminium stand (387490) (3.54 m) pretty well perfect for a full baby pin stand (i.e. strong enough to handle a Grip Head with all that that implies). And it's light weight. Except, especially outside, it would be nice to have a leveling leg option.
Traditional leveling leg solutions extend & lower one leg, meaning that single leg becomes the downhill leg and ends up taking more weight than its piers. Also the footprint diameter is modestly reduced.
Reuben Krabbe's Mod, OTOH, raises the adjusted leg which typically results in it bearing slightly less than a normal 1/3rd share. Also, it doesn't add weight. When deployed, the footprint diameter increases slightly!
My experience suggests that a single extra hole, c 10 to 12 cm higher than the original offers great leveling range and flexibility on this and other full sized horizontal strut stands (footprint 43 in diameter). Varying the leg spread also varies the leveling action substantially. Outside, I'd usually lose the wheels or lock them radially out to maximize the footprint. This approach does not work well on stairs - but there's a better way of mounting a lightstand half way up a flight of stairs.
My choice of new pin was a marine grade 6 X 50 mm drop nose pin. (The UK's 'Seasure' is the best brand.) Lighter stands would use a 5 mm version. The drop nose is itself spring loaded and my mod adds a short length of rubber tubing to act as a gentle compression spring, removing any chance that this mod would 'self release'. It's more secure, IMO, than the original simple ny-loc nuts. Matthews added two shaped spacing pieces which could be easy to lose. Accordingly these are now tethered to prevent loss while engaging the leveling option. If your stand has washers, I suggest losing those and substituting a 10 cm strip of thin stiff plastic with a suitable hole at both ends.
Ensure that the stand is truly vertical - critical if using a boom.
I now have two full sized stands with this mod/pin - I remain, 6 months & counting, very pleased so far . . .
I've also tried just using a car leveling ramp under a normal stand's lowest leg - that can work well too, but I prefer Reuben's idea.
