Hi to everyone! I have been busy lately, so i haven't had time for photography. I will come back slowly and visit your streams and beautiful creations. I hope you are all doing fine. :)
I didn't have a micro-bike, so I quickly made one, out of wire scraps.
One could argue that the bike isn't fully functional, but you can't deny the weight is down to a bare minimum...
(the size of the visible part is just shy of 7.5cm)
Estos caballitos del diablo tienen un aspecto muy liviano, pero a pesar de eso su agilidad y destreza para moverse entre las ramas de las plantas próximas a los puntos de agua es sorprendente, incluso en los día de vientos racheados.
Se posó a mediana altura lo que me permitió fotografiarlo con cierta comodidad.
Macho joven de Ischnura elegans.
These damselflies have a very light appearance, but despite that their agility and dexterity to move between the branches of the plants near the water points is surprising, even on days with gusty winds.
It perched at medium height which allowed me to photograph it with some comfort.
Young male of Ischnura elegans.
So dark and so shiny, but really too beautiful up there with its spread-out tail. No light there, but a memorable encounter for life. Swallowtail hummingbird I guess.
Assembly road shot of one of my favourite E-Types, "3 BXV", waiting to go out on to the track.
Originally raced by Bruce McLaren and David Hobbs, the car was built for the Peter Berry Racing Team by Jaguar in 1962. In 1988 the car was restored to its mid 60's specification, and included the use of a number of lightweight E-type parts.

Nothing could bring me closer
Nothing could bring me near
Where is the road I follow
To leave, leave?
It′s under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
Where do I go when the land touches the sea?
There is my trust in what I believe
That's what keeps me
That′s what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, believe it
Leave it all behind
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
I temper madness with an even extreme
That′s what keeps me
That′s what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I′m a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
That never left the ground
That′s what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That′s what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost the
Heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity
Memory, leave, leave
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That′s what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
That′s what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That′s what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift my hands, my eyes are still
I'll walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it
I′ve longed for this to take me
I've longed for my release
I′ve waited for the callin'
To leave, leave
Leave, leave
Leavin', leavin′
I won't lie: this car took my breath away while driving around the beautiful scenery of Bernese Alps!

PORSCHE GT3 RS

A Gravesend - Allhallows service arrives at the remote station on the Isle of Grain (the fields behind are a bit of a clue) behind a fairly new Sulzer Type 3 sometime in 1961. This is a slight over provision of power for the lightweight load and in comparison to the H class 0-4-4T's that were normally employed. The final services operated on 2 December the same year. Sharnal Street's main function was as a junction for the Chattenden Naval Tramway & Kingsnorth Light Railway.
A view from the overbridge today would only see an electrical sub-station located alongside the single track branch.
Unknown photographer.
A January 1987 scene at Huyton Station as Class 108 (on closer inspection it seems to be running as a 3-car?) having traversed Huyton Jct slows for the stop with the 12.20 from Wigan North Western. Not sure what the Duff was on I did not record but that morning I did well photting 45114 on a Pennine, 47603 on a Footex, 47401 'North Eastern' on a Pennine and 47283 on the Edge Hill - Red Bank vans.
A colour version of a mono image I uploaded a decade ago of a scene now recorded nearly four decades ago! The BR Table 74 10:15 Chester to Shrewsbury all stations DMU service passes Bersham Colliery. The Chester based Class 108 2-car unit comprised DMBS 51904 leading DTCL 54487. Visible above the unit were loaded HAA coal hoppers to later form part of the next MGR service to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station.

By the VIA/CNR depot this GP9, one of the CN's "lightweight" Geeps specially ordered for their many light rail routes, probably awaits switching duties, or maybe a local. The Flexicoil trucks (some were eventually replaced by the customary Blombergs) and small fuel tank were characteristic of these GP9's, but some of them were geared to head passenger trains on the mainline. CN ran their high hood Geeps long hood forward, but it appears that aesthetics trumped a reversal of the paint scheme. The station was eventually given to to Parks Canada for a visitor center to Jasper National Park; at this time it appeared that crews still went to work and tied up there. I was treated to the utmost hospitality there!
59203 descends towards Crofton near Wolfhall with a very short 7A09 07:12 Merehead - Acton
Single 59s on this working are now rare. In this case it looks like the train is formed of one portion, with only box wagons and no hoppers, so no need for the additional 66.
Due to strike action there were no passenger workings over the B&H all day, but 7A09 still managed to run an hour late (after leaving Merehead over 2 hours down)
