Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland. The painted stripes on the pavement, for the Commonwealth Games, are fading fast on this thoroughfare. My mother always used to use the phrase "on a line" for when our cat was angrily flicking her tail but the saying has a few different meanings that apply to this shot equally.
Niccolò Ceria making the first ascent of the King Line project, a big and bold line right in the heart of Flock Hill.
As Davey & I walked over the beach we noticed the usual line of photographers on the rocks facing the Castle. So we picked our spot in the line up & waited for the dawn to unfold. :-)

Detail of a retired harbour crane on the bank of the river Main in Frankfurt. A remarkable beast. I tweaked lighting and contrast, but the colour is as-shot.
The Penistone Line is the name given to the rural railway line running from Barnsley to Huddersfield cutting through Penistone and into West Yorkshire from the South of the county most of it single line giving just enough room for an hourly train service between Sheffield, Barnsley, Penistone & Huddersfield and this is operated by Northern Rail the major regional and rural train operating company (TOC) in the North of England from its Sheffield and Huddersfield bases and for the majority of the time all services up here are operated by a Pacer Railbus unit such as this one. The Pacer units most of which now ageing and all of which long overdue there sell by date still operating in daily front line services around the north of the country the units orringal purpose to keep open many branch lines such as this one Dr. Beeching wised to close and that they did the two car units perfect for rural services once upon a time are now ageing and with an ever growing need for the railways they are also becoming overcrowded on many routes on the Northern Rail network they are forced to use them on having not been given any new units or indeed extra carriages by the government who seem to want to spend on an new railway we don't need (HS2) so people can get from London to Leeds in 2 hours, of which they can anyway on flights operated by British Airways, and lets not forget its aimed at business people most of which will land at Heathrow Airport and transfer there onto the British Airways flights across the country instead of paying double the price for a train, instead of our current regional railway network which is starting to crack under the modern day transport needs of commuters and the public. Northern Rail have done a great job to preserve its Pacer fleet keeping them going day after day up and down, around and around these trains serving two of the countries biggest cities, Leeds and Manchester, not forgetting Sheffield, York, Preston and Chester and everywhere between these units now the backbone of The Penistone Line running the hourly services between Sheffield & Huddersfield and calling points between of Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Chapeltown, Elsicar, Wombwell, Barnsley, Dodworth, Silkstone Common, Penistone, Demby Dale, Shepley, Stocksmoor, Brockholes, Honley, Berry Brow & Lockwood of which the route requires three of the type diagrammed to be three Class 144 3 Car Pacers the route now very popular however on weekends two diagrams are of this type the Class 142 pacer, this one numbered 142078, the trains always busy with passengers travelling down the scenic railway line. The line which is for most part single track sections with single platform small stations and covers 4 viaducts, 9 tunnels and enough history and indeed railway history Penistone the starting point for the famously closed Woodhead line which today leaves the Hope Valley Line as the only link between Manchester and Sheffield which isn't enough the line having it's own partnership, PLP The Penistone Line Partnership who do some work on stations and also promote certain event trains such as the seasonal music trains which operate up and down the line. These days as ever the line keeps going and keeps its cause transporting the normally full trains of passengers across South and West Yorkshire at the most part under the media and attention of tourists unlike the Settle & Carlisle line of which is around double the length of this line if not longer running through the Yorkshire Dales the Northern Rail Pacer trains bouncing on day in day out. Here in the wet weather on the 06/09/14 Northern Rail Class number 142078 approach's Silkstone Common from Huddersfield and Penistone with 2B55 the 18:13 Huddersfield to Sheffield local stopping service.
Farmland out in the mid north near Goyder's Line along the Barrier Highway, somewhere around Oodla Wirra & Terowie.
And I did cheat a little, I relocated the moon in the shot.
GOYDER'S LINE
With barely 30 years' knowledge of this new country to go on, farmers needed reliable information. In 1865 George Goyder provided it. He discouraged farmers from planting crops north of his line, declaring this land suitable only for light grazing. However farmers were optimistic. 1865 was a year of bumper rains, so many ignored Goyder and headed north, starting farms and planting crops. Just a few years later many had to abandon their farms. Goyder was proved correct and the land was indeed unsuitable for crops. Many farmhouse ruins can still be seen near Goyder's line.
There have been periods of development north of the line, but invariably nature has won out. Entire towns and farms were abandoned when there was a return to longer-term average rainfall. The line has proven remarkably accurate, an amazing feat since it was surveyed in just two months in 1865 by Goyder, then the surveyor-general of South Australia.
Goyder's line starts on the west coast near Ceduna and goes south-east across Eyre Peninsula to strike Spencer Gulf near Arno Bay. It continues from near Moonta north to Crystal Brook and Orroroo then south-east past Peterborough and Burra to the Victorian border near Pinnaroo, crossing the Murray River south of Blanchetown. Much of the land immediately north of the line is covered by saltbush. Agriculture is possible near the Murray River further upstream only because of irrigation using water drawn from the Murray.
It is easy to see Goyder's line when flying over this area. The change in flora is very distinct when one knows what to look for.

The tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. It is found at high elevations and high latitudes. Beyond the tree line, trees cannot tolerate the environmental conditions (usually cold temperatures or associated lack of available moisture).
The Sierra Nevada subalpine zone refers to a biotic zone below treeline in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California, United States. This subalpine zone is positioned between the upper montane zone (such as red fir forest) at its lower limit, and tree line at its upper limit.
The Sierra Nevada subalpine zone occurs between (8,000–12,000 ft, and is characterized by an open woodland of several conifer species, including whitebark pine, lodgepole pine, western white pine, mountain hemlock, and Sierra juniper. The vegetation and ecology is determined by the harsh climate, with extensive snow and wind. In addition, soils are thin and nutrient-poor. Due to these harsh conditions, vegetation grows slowly and to reduced heights. In addition, the stressful environment suppress species competition and promotes mutualism.
The marginal conditions make the Sierra Nevada subalpine zone sensitive to environmental changes, such as climate change and pollution. The long-lived nature of the subalpine species make the zone a good study system to examine these effects.

Tuesday 6th September 2016, at 4pm GMT, sees the release of my new mini print Shore Line. Released in an edition of only 100, the print features a miniature street installation created in Honolulu for POW! WOW! Hawaii urban art festival earlier this year.
The mini print is being released online through Andipa gallery and continues my exploration of natural environments within urban settings, the theme of my last solo show Miniaturesque.
Printed at 1:1 scale to the original installation, Shore Line is guaranteed to evoke those magical days of summer (stuck inside a sweltering car, in a traffic jam).
Shore Line is available Tuesday 6th September, at 4pm GMT.
