Plastic insulated screwdriver shanks are an electrician's friend. Less risk for shocks and electrocutions when you use these tools around electrical equipment. Always disable and lockout electrical equipment regardless of how well your tools are made for the job.

In faded Railfreight Distribution livery, 47313 passes Ripple Lane with 7O58, the 0952 Dagenham to Dollands Moor working, conveying car components between Ford's factories at Dagenham and Valencia (Silla) in Spain.
This working has ran continually via the channel tunnel since opening in June 1994. As pictured here, in the early years it was routed through London to reach Kent and the tunnel, but in 2020 it is the only regular freight to use the UK's only high speed rail route - HS1.
There is a connection between HS1 and the conventional rail network just west of Dagenham Dock station, and the same swap bodies are now tripped to Ripple Lane from Dagenham and then taken down HS1 to Dollands Moor to acccess the tunnel.
Behind the train is the remains of Ripple Lane yard, where in years gone by oil trains from Thameshaven and Shellhaven were staged. Ripple Lane freightliner terminal was still open at the time of my photograph, receiving a daily train from Southampton.
Made it back! Hello my friends : )
Little story behind this one...
One morning (while on holiday in the Greek island of Crete) I decided to wake very early in hopes of capturing some interesting morning shots.
After shooting a few pre-dawn beach photos, I walked towards an interesting rock-pier, but had to cross some hotel grounds to access it.
When walking past this pool, I glanced back and saw this mirrored reflection of the hotel in the water!
I desperately wanted to capture the moment (but didn't want to spend more than a minute here as I was trying to hurry and reach the rock-pier before sunrise) so I simply laid my camera down upon the edge of the pool and took 2 shots... and this was one of them : )
I was so surprised that this quick shot turned out at all, as it was taken during pre-dawn light and I didn't have time to make fine adjustments before moving on.
The blues you see in the sky (directly over the hotel) quickly changed (by the minute!) after this shot. The glow from the coming sunrise quickly affected it as I walked on towards the pier.
The blueness of the pool water also caught my attention... I think the reflection is very special near the pool ladder & lamp lights : )
This area was beautiful... so of course the title ( Vacation Blues ) has two meanings ; )
This is SOOC (straight out of camera), no cropping or color adjustments either.
That doesn't make it any more special, I simply tried to leave it the way I remembered it that early morning... very soft predawn blues with subtle hints in the sky of the coming glow : )
I thought it turned out pretty well, considering I was in such a hurry to carry on and make it to the next location.

p.s. Glad to be back!
I will slowly try to catch up with everyone during the coming days...

CRUSH
Made a stopover on the way to work. Going with a dose of skepticism as I couldn't be sure if fog had formed or not. It was worth it.
All material of the walls made from slices of bamboo [known as anyaman sasag by locals] or wood and leave it without any paint except made from chalk. It means, whenever a 'modern' Kampung Naga person want to have a [modern] house made from bricks, they have to build it outside of the village.

The film “Made in Dagenham” is the inspiration for this photo.
A comedy drama set in 1968, the film dramatises the sewing machinists strike at Ford’s Dagenham car plant in Essex, UK. The female sewing machinists, who made car seat covers, walked out on strike protesting against sexual discrimination and demanding equal pay. The film follows the women and their campaign which led eventually to the 1970 Equal Pay Act.
For the photo I’ve used a close up of a sewing machine foot and threaded needle to illustrate the following themes and concepts in the film:
Applying pressure: A sewing machine foot is used to apply pressure to the fabric to stop it from slipping around while being sewn. The female workers were under pressure from their families, management and social norms not to go out on strike but to accept things as they were. In turn the machinists were applying pressure on Ford management and the UK government to introduce changes.
The foot also represents the fact that the women 'walked' out on strike.
Making their point: The needle represents the point that the women wanted to make and their intention to drive it home through the very fabric of society.
The thread represents the growing number of supporters who are drawn in, persuaded by the women's clear aims.
I chose a late 1960s inspired floral fabric because the film was set in 1968 and women’s fashion is a recurring theme in the film.
I set the photo at an angle to give a more dynamic feel and to give the impression of a vehicle (Ford / the Government) getting ready to turn a corner and take a new direction ( a change in the law).
The photo measures 6 cm across.
Made for the Award Tree challenge ~ Black & White ~
I was so lucky to see the last two baby birds leaving the nesting box. The rest had already gone.
It happened very fast and it wasn't easy to capture this!

"Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…"
-- Matthew 14:22–23
This passage takes place immediately after what had been a long, hard day for Jesus. He had found out of the execution of John the Baptist earlier in the day and he had tried to be alone, but then the crowds followed out to a remote location. It was there that he healed the sick and fed 5,000 men plus women and children a satisfying meal of fish and bread. Is it any wonder that he was physically, emotionally, & spiritually exhausted and took action to rest and pray? Sometimes...we need to do that too!!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
