Secret number fourteen:
I have a lot to be thankful for.
It's true. I have a fibroadenoma, not breast cancer. I may not have children of my own, but I have nieces and nephews that I love as if they were mine. I may not have a significant other, but I know I am loved. I may not be in the best shape of my life, but I can still walk. I may not be wealthy, but I have the greatest job and work with the best people. And lastly, I have "met" some of the most amazing people ever right here on Flickr. Thank you.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know I sure did.
Another lockdown shot from my wander on Thursday.
St Andrews Cross roundabout at the top of Royal Parade is always really busy but on Thursday morning it was pretty quiet with just buses and a handful of cars on the road.
Again, I tried using road markings as foreground interest and saw these to chevrons which looked quite good.
The building on the right is the Royal Bank of Scotland building and was built in the post war era between 1956-59 and is now a Grade II listed building.
When this Cape May Warbler landed on the Norway Spruce in our backyard this morning it brought the total to 57 the number of different species of birds that I've observed looking out the back window of our home in the time frame of a little over 1 year. At least 15 of them I've been able to photograph perched on that Norway Spruce.
The super-sized numbers on the facade of newly built affordable-housing units, designed by Daoust Lestage architects. According to the architects, the numbers were inspired by the signage on the rail cars that once moved across this site located in the Canary District of East Toronto. The units are temporarily being used to house the athletes of the Parapan Am games.

" Shortly after we left the war torn planet of Atraken and returned to the Republic cruiser Endurance, I received my platoon's... or rather my next assignment. My orders were to select three troopers from my platoon and then report to the Internal Security Bureau on Coruscant. There we would be briefed on an under cover mission with the objective of infiltrating the bounty hunter guild which appeared to be thriving within Coruscant's lower levels. This mission would be dangerous probably the most dangerous one the Republic has thrown at the 253rd, we weren't going up against battle droids this time instead we would be going up against ruthless and trained killers. Originally I planned on going solo on this one, but I eventually agreeded to let Lucky tag along. After a quick visit to the Endurance's armory Lucky and I no longer looked like the disciplined faceless soldiers we were meant to be. Instead of our standard shiny white armor we wore a mix of cloth and steel.
It was here in the armory where an angry Rook confronted me about me decision to bench the rest of the platoon. Though no matter how compelling his argument was my decision stayed the same. We had just barley made it off Atraken without a signal casualtie and there was no way in hell that I was going to risk loosing anyone on the Republic's homeworld..."

Hey everyone,
Montville, Qld, Australia.
Here's my 2nd favourite image from this year.
I haven't actually shared this one yet but I shot it back in May this year on a very cold evening with my mates from DK Photography.
Marcus from The Chapel was kind enough to let us shoot this place and even dimmed the lights on the inside and outside of the chapel for us to get the shots we wanted, A huge thanks to him for letting us shoot here.
I really hope you like this one, Cheers!
CSX CW44AC #13 chugs the evening away as it sits 2nd of 3 on a grain train ready to be interchanged back to CSX off of RJ Corman in Bowling Green. The 13 along with 25 other YN2 sisters are slated for overhaul in the coming year.
These Magpies kept mobbing this juvenile Peregrine, there were 7 Magpies in total but the youngster stood her ground
Sorry for the repaeat posts of this image but now it's the turn of black and white! Last one I promise!

One of the oldest survivors of America's steam railroading era, this locomotive was built 29 years after the steam engine was first developed for transportation. Breese, Kneeland & Company of Jersey City, New Jersey also operated as the New York Locomotive Works and is represented by the No. 73 on the locomotive builders plate. The company used its standard style, based on a design patented by Henry Roe Campbell in 1836. Known as a 4-4-0 "Classic American" for its wheel configuration, this particular locomotive was manufactured in 1857 for the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company.
Believed to have been named "Spring Green", the locomotive served the upper midwestern United States for more than 30 years. By 1889, the Arizona & Southeastern Railroad Company, which later became the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad (EP&SW), had acquired it and converted it from a wood-burner to a coal-burner. The smokestack was also likely reconfigured from a funnel type to a straight type at that time. Calling it Locomotive No. One, EP&SW utilized it in the development of Bisbee, Arizona and in other mining and industrial operations in the southwest.
EP&SW retired Old Number One after more than 50 years of service, moving it to a park adjacent to company headquarters at 416 N. Stanton Street in 1909. Except for its brief role in the 1938 film "Let Freedom Ring", it remained there until 1960, even after the rail company became part of the Southern Pacific railroad system in 1924. In 1960, the railroad donated it to Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), which placed it at the Centennial Museum. In 2000, the City of El Paso received state and national funds to restore the engine to its 1909 appearance, moving it to the present site at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal.

I was nominated .
Number TWO.
The world seen through my eyes, was the 'challenge'.
It posed serious questions. How do I see the world?
Despite everything… I still see the world in a positive light (LOL, old, photographer’s joke?), really, I see so much beauty, in Nature, in people, in manmade objects.
And THAT is what I try to capture, each and every day.
here are certainties and fixed values… every day there is a sunrise, every day there is a sunset.
The seasons follow nicely with their different moods and colours. Aah, there it is: THE WORD: COLOURS.
Yes I see the world in technicolour, tie that in with emotion, sometimes humour and we’re all there: my world.
ART by CHANCE…
This was taken from the car as we came back from France, the sun was going down fast above Flanders' fields, it was beautiful, I chanced it...
I do not often use the word art , but this?
I think it is special, the church just sharp, so typically Flanders. It's rapidly becoming a personal favourite!
...At 70 miles/hour, there's bound to be something in your shot, or when the fraction in time and space is just perfect, yes, you guessed it, a bump or a pothole, grrr... only another type of frustration? Hihi...
