Visiting L&Y tank 11456 meets resident pannier 7714 at Arley, both hauling local trains during the Severn Valley Railway Autumn Gala. Taken on the Friday evening. Having failed the day before 11456 had been repaired in time to take this service, thanks to great work from those in the workshop at Bridgnorth.
Xiamen, China 2011
For G&G Group:
I'm really happy with this small scene of China noir. I find the subject compelling, as well as the onlookers in the background, and the high contrast b&w works well in my opinion. I've been shooting b&w on my new Lumix using the lovely in-camera Dynamic B&W "film" setting, rather than processing to b&w on the computer. I like this approach--it's feels closer to film to me. One guy below even thinks it's "meshmerizing."
This particular corner of Xiamen is clearly not a place where you want to get too sick--perhaps sick enough to be attended to by this attractive nurse, but you don't want an emergency where your life depends on a successful ride in the ambulance trolley. God help you if you need a defibrillator or even much more than a bandaid. Having been in China for a long time, however, I am confident they can give you an IV bag, the official Mainland cure-all for everything.
In the frame, the nurse is telling me "no photos"--or actually telling my girlfriend to tell me not to take photos because I'm a foreign barbarian and clearly can't speak Chinese. I guess she was too late. I should have just explained that I'm gonna put this one in G&G and surely she would have let me carry on.
But if you would rather use your imagination a bit, perhaps thle nurse is coming to get you and stab you with whatever the hell is in her hand.
Statue of Eric Morecambe in Morecambe. Some evidence of foot-rubbing either for luck or to pay respects to the subject.

It was a very pleasent experience to join locals and eat from local food. It was a heavy grilled meal.

CBC's acre of organic barley being grown in Hadley, MA. It'll be harvested in the next couple of weeks, then malted by our friends Andrea and Christian at Valley Malt! Hooray for local beer!
The US Marshals Service, Omaha Police Department and numerous other state and local agencies arrested 208 suspects on felony warrants during Operation Triple Beam, 75 of which were gang members. 101 illegal firearms were taken off the streets, $443,256.60 worth of Illegal narcotics and $11,202.35 in cash were seized during these arrests.
110 gang members were apprehended during the three month long operation. 17 different gangs had members that were taken into custody. 60 gang members were arrested that had a firearm seized during their arrest. 17 gang members were arrested that had illegal drugs seized during their arrest. Of the 268 total arrests, 139 were violent offenders, 86 had possession of a firearm that had been involved in a violent crime, 8 had possession of a firearm that was stolen, 3 had possession of a firearm that had been involved in a Robbery and 8 had possession of a firearm that had been involved in an Assault.
According to Data Omaha, there were a total of 9 firearm related Homicides during the combined months of June, July and August of 2015 in the Omaha Metro Area. During the combined months of June, July and August 2016, there were a total of 3 firearm related Homicides (as of August 19th).
The three month long operation was conducted from June 1st to September 1st. The joint operation led by the US Marshals included the US Marshals Metro Fugitive Task Force, the Omaha Police Department Gang Unit, Nebraska State Adult and Juvenile Probation, ATF and the Lincoln Police Dept. Gang Unit, targeted gang members, violent offenders, Sex Offenders and gang member associates. The primary focus for the operation was the Omaha Metro Area and the City of Lincoln.
The operation was named Triple Beam which is a commonly used phrase that stands for the three main targets of the Operation which are Firearms, Illegal Drugs and Gang Members, in that order. The plan was for the USMS, the OPD Gang Units and the Lincoln PD Gang Unit, to conduct targeted enforcement. Operations were primarily developed from intelligence gathering, sources, fugitive investigations, Adult and Juvenile Probation investigations.

なんとか木曜だけ撮れる日だったので撮影！と思ったらLed車...人生と同じであまり上手くいかないみたいですね、、、でもその上手くいかない中でも最大限の努力をすることが大事だと思ってます。
Mr Box Head likes to hang around near the A37 at White Cross, although sometimes he only has a paper bag on his head.....
This photograph is one of those taken by W.J. Joyce in 1913 to illustrate the dreadful living conditions in Dublin. Swift’s Alley was located between Engine Alley and Francis Street. This photograph was taken facing towards Francis Street. Over 100 people lived in Swift’s Alley in 1911.

O reino Fungi é um grande grupo de organismos eucariotas, cujos membros são chamados fungos, que inclui micro-organismos tais como as leveduras e bolores, bem como os mais familiares cogumelos. Os fungos são classificados num reino separado das plantas, animais e bactérias. Uma grande diferença é o facto de as células dos fungos terem paredes celulares que contêm quitina, ao contrário das células vegetais, que contêm celulose. Estas e outras diferenças mostram que os fungos formam um só grupo de organismos relacionados entre si, denominado Eumycota (fungos verdadeiros ou Eumycetes), e que partilham um ancestral comum (um grupo monofilético). Este grupo de fungos é distinto dos estruturalmente similares Myxomycetes (agora classificados em Myxogastria) e Oomycetes. A disciplina da biologia dedicada ao estudo dos fungos é a micologia, muitas vezes vista como um ramo da botânica, mesmo apesar de os estudos genéticos terem mostrado que os fungos estão mais próximos dos animais do que das plantas.
Abundantes em todo mundo, a maioria dos fungos é inconspícua devido ao pequeno tamanho das sua estruturas, e pelos seus modos de vida crípticos no solo, na matéria morta, e como simbiontes de plantas, animais, e outros fungos. Podem tornar-se notados quando frutificam, seja como cogumelos ou como bolores. Os fungos desempenham um papel essencial na decomposição da matéria orgânica e têm papéis fundamentais nas trocas e ciclos de nutrientes. São desde há muito tempo utilizados como uma fonte direta de alimentação, como no caso dos cogumelos e trufas, como agentes levedantes no pão, e na fermentação de vários produtos alimentares, como o vinho, a cerveja, e o molho de soja. Desde a década de 1940, os fungos são usados na produção de antibióticos, e, mais recentemente, várias enzimas produzidas por fungos são usadas industrialmente e em detergentes. São também usados como agentes biológicos no controlo de ervas daninhas e pragas agrícolas. Muitas espécies produzem compostos bioativos chamados micotoxinas, como alcaloides e policetídeos, que são tóxicos para animais e humanos. As estruturas frutíferas de algumas espécies contêm compostos psicotrópicos, que são consumidos recreativamente ou em cerimónias espirituais tradicionais. Os fungos podem decompor materiais artificiais e construções, e tornar-se patogénicos para animais e humanos. As perdas nas colheitas devidas a doenças causadas por fungos ou à deterioração de alimentos pode ter um impacto significativo no fornecimento de alimentos e nas economias locais.
O reino dos fungos abrange uma enorme diversidade de táxons, com ecologias, estratégias de ciclos de vida e morfologias variadas, que vão desde os quitrídios aquáticos unicelulares aos grandes cogumelos. Contudo, pouco se sabe da verdadeira biodiversidade do reino Fungi, que se estima incluir 1,5 milhões de espécies, com apenas cerca de 5% destas formalmente classificadas. Desde os trabalhos taxonómicos pioneiros dos séculos XVII e XVIII efetuados por Lineu, Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, e Elias Magnus Fries, os fungos são classificados segundo a sua morfologia (i.e. caraterísticas como a cor do esporo ou caraterísticas microscópicas) ou segundo a sua fisiologia. Os avanços na genética molecular abriram o caminho à inclusão da análise de ADN na taxonomia, o que desafiou por vezes os antigos agrupamentos baseados na morfologia e outros traços. Estudos filogenéticos publicados no último decénio têm ajudado a modificar a classificação do reino Fungi, o qual está dividido em um sub-reino, sete filos e dez subfilos.
