Sitting on the apron, this is " Just Jane " , one of I believe only four Lancasters that can move under their own power these days . There are two that are licensed to fly ( one as part of The BBMF and one in Canada ) .
Just Jane is only licensed to taxi and does so often at it's home - The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby www.flickr.com/photos/149636765@N04/48051759407/in/datepo... in Lincolnshire . As a fundraiser for further work to be carried out and for eventually the Lancaster to become airworthy one can buy tickets to travel in the Lancaster as it taxis on the airfield - although quite expensive places are booked well in advance - such a trip is something very special indeed !!
Here is a link to the website and the story of Just Jane ---

Shot of a Star Ferry on a foggy Day.
The Star Ferry operates the following cross-harbour routes (The prices are effective from 15 July 2017):
Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. For lower deck, it costs HK$2.2 on Mondays to Fridays; HK$3.1 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. For upper deck, HK$2.7 on Mondays to Fridays; HK$3.7 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui for HK$2.7 on Mondays to Fridays; HK$3.7 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
Harbour Tour: a tourist cruise, making an indirect, circular route to all the stops, namely Tsim Sha Tsui, Central and Wan Chai.
Passengers may use Octopus or tokens to pay for the ride. Tokens are available in the vending machines at the piers. Direct payment by coins at turnstile is no longer accepted.
The Tsim Sha Tsui – Central route does not accept cycles, but the Tsim Sha Tsui – Wan Chai route accepts cycles for an extra charge of HK$14, except during the evening peak hour from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui.
Star Ferry has announced to provide sightseeing service between Tsim Sha Tsui and Disneyland Resort Pier, which has been emptied for 11 years since its open. This route consists of 2 departures and the round trip fare is $180. Passengers can enjoy views of Tsing Ma Bridge during the 45 journey on a luxury ferry World Star.
The Star Ferry is a passenger ferry service operator and tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Its principal routes carry passengers across Victoria Harbour, between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The service is operated by the "Star" Ferry Company, which was founded in 1888 as the Kowloon Ferry Company, and adopted its present name in 1898.
The fleet of twelve ferries operates two routes across the harbour, carrying over 70,000 passengers a day, or 26 million a year. Even though the harbour is crossed by railway and road tunnels, the Star Ferry continues to provide an inexpensive mode of harbour crossing. The company's main route runs between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.
It has been rated first in the “Top 10 Most Exciting Ferry Rides” poll by the Society of American Travel Writers (“SATW”) in February 2009.
Before the steam ferry was first created, people would cross the harbour in sampans. In 1870, a man named Grant Smith brought a twin-screw wooden-hulled boat from England and started running it across the harbour at irregular intervals.
In July 1873, an attempt was made to run steam ferries between Hong Kong and Kowloon. This was stopped at the request of the British consul in Canton, who feared it would enable visits to gambling houses in Kowloon.[4] It is thought that a service to the public was established in the mid-to-late 1870s, after the cession of Kowloon to the British in 1860.
The company was founded by Parsee merchant Dorabjee Naorojee Mithaiwala as the "Kowloon Ferry Company" in 1888. Naorojee bought Smith's boat, and later acquired the steam vessels Morning Star and Evening Star from a Mr Buxoo.[5] The popularity of this means of transport enabled him to increase his fleet to four vessels within 10 years: the Morning Star, Evening Star, Rising Star and Guiding Star. Each boat had a capacity of 100 passengers, and the boats averaged 147 crossings each day. He incorporated the business into the "Star Ferry Co Ltd" in 1898, prior to his retirement to India. The company name was inspired by his love of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar", of which the first line reads "Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me!".[citation needed]
At the time regular service was initiated, ships were moored by having a sailor on the vessel toss the rope to another on the pier, who would then catch it with a long billhook. This is still done today.
On his retirement in 1898, Naorojee sold the company to The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company Limited, at that time owned by Jardine, Matheson & Co. and Sir Paul Chater.
A pier constructed on the western end of Salisbury Road opened in 1906, but was destroyed by a typhoon in September 1906. In the early 1950s, construction of the present twin-piered terminal commenced on both sides of Victoria Harbour, designed to handle 55 million passenger trips a year. The structure was completed in 1957, concurrent with the Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier built on the island side.
At the turn of the century, Hong Kong currency and Canton currency were both accepted as legal tender in Hong Kong. In the autumn of 1912, following a devaluation, the Star Ferry caused a controversy by insisting, together with the tramways, that payment had to be made in Hong Kong currency only. Canton coinage would no longer be accepted.
In 1924 the Yaumati Ferry operated the route to Kowloon in a duopoly. In 1933 the Star Ferry made history by building the Electric Star, the first diesel electric passenger ferry of its kind.
By 1941, the company had six vessels. During the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong, the competing Yaumati Ferry was allowed to continue, while the Japanese commandeered the Star Ferry for their own purposes. The Golden Star and the Meridian Star were used to transport prisoners of war from Sham Shui Po to Kai Tak Airport. In 1943, the Golden Star was bombed and sunk in the Canton River by the Americans, and the Electric Star was sunk in the harbour. After the war, the ferries were recovered and returned to service.
Until the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel in 1972, the Star Ferry remained the main means of public transportation between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon side.
The Star Ferry operates on a franchise from the Government. It was last renewed in March 1998, the year of its centenary.

Going back through some older work tonight and I came across this one from last year, very early fall just after we first moved into the city proper. This new commute quickly became a route that I really looked forward to seeing everyday for the last year....and now I kind of miss this tram ride right now, but looking forward to it returning soon! (Due to construction, the trams aren't running)

Symphony of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. She was built in 2018 in the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, the fourth in Royal Caribbean's Oasis class of cruise ships. At 228,081 GT, she is the largest cruise ship in the world by gross tonnage, surpassing her sister ship Harmony of the Seas, also owned by Royal Caribbean International.
Symphony of the Seas measures 361.011 meters (1,184 ft 5.0 in) in length and has a gross tonnage of 228,081 across 18 decks. She is able to accommodate 5,518 passengers at double occupancy up to a maximum capacity of 6,680 passengers, as well as a 2,200-person crew. There are 16 decks for guest use, 22 restaurants, 4 pools, and 2,759 cabins.
Symphony of the Seas is about 30 meters (98 feet) longer than the largest military ships ever built, the U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
Facilities include a children's water park, a full-size basketball court, an ice-skating rink, a zip line that is 10 decks high, a 1400-seat theater, an outdoor aquatic theater with Olympic-height platforms, and two 43-foot (13 m) rock-climbing walls. There is also a park containing over 20,000 tropical plants.
Symphony of the Seas is powered onboard by six marine-diesel sets each composed of three 16-cylinder Wärtsilä 16V46D common rail engines and three 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V46D engines.
The energy-efficient design of Symphony of the Seas enables it to accomplish shipboard power generation with 85 MW versus the 100 MW normally found on Oasis-class ships. One of the key design features is the use of only LED or fluorescent lights in order to avoid the heat generation from incandescent bulbs, thereby reducing the load on air conditioning systems.
Additional energy efficiency is accomplished by using a 2 MW steam turbine to recover waste heat from the engines and converting it into energy to power a portion of the onboard hotel load.
For propulsion, Symphony of the Seas uses three 20,000 kilowatt azipod main engines, which are electric thrusters. These engines are mounted under the stern of the ship and they each drive 20 foot wide rotatable propellers. In addition to the three main engines, there are four bow thrusters used for docking, each with 5,500 kilowatts of power or 7,380 horsepower.
Among the Oasis-class ships, Symphony of the Seas uses 25% less fuel due to the implementation of a new system that releases tiny air bubbles under the hull to enable the vessel to glide more smoothly through the water. The air layer also reduces excitation from the propellers, which cuts noise and vibration levels in the aft part of the ship.

The Dixie Mines are operated by the Engelhard Corporation which is located in Gordon, GA.
Restoring the land to its previous state after mining, if done properly, involves removing the topsoil and keep farming it to keep the soil rich in the nutrients. Then the first level of clay is removed; the clay is important for retaining the moisture that is needed for plant life to flourish, and it is stored for future use. After the mine is exhausted, any disturbances are filled and packed down with waste from mining. The landscape is then reconstructed with that first layer of clay which is brought back, and topped off with the fertile topsoil.
If done properly.
Tower Transit begin operating three buses on route 69 as part of a joint TFL and ADL venture for Virtual Electric buses. These Enviro 400 VE MMCs were due to operate from West Ham (WH) but since Tower Transit have won the contract from late 2016, the buses moved over to Tower Transits Lea Interchange garage (LI) for operation alongside Stagecoach at West Ham (WH). However, due to teething problems I'm not very sure that this bus left out of Walthamstow Central Bus Station.

A man operates a steam roller to compact the rock in an early morning photo.
Now that I looked up "steam roller" I am guessing this modern version is not operated by steam so would be a "road roller", though I think "steam roller" is more readily recognized as a term. See Wikepedia's link.
CN 5432 east, operating as local L528, splits the classic searchlight signals at Rosedale West, on CN's Yale Subdivision.
The nuances that make this image special are fairly esoteric, and may not mean much to those who haven't visited southern British Columbia in the past quarter century.
Since the spring of 2000, CN and arch rival CP have jointly operated their parallel mainlines down the Thompson, and Fraser Canyons as a shared 'Directional Running Zone'. The agreement allowed all of the westbound traffic from both roads to operate over CN's Ashcroft, and Yale subdivisions, between a point near Ashcroft to the east, and Matsqui Junction to the west. Conversely all eastbound traffic is routed over CP's Cascade and Thompson subdivisions between Mission at the west end, and near Ashcroft at the east end. The arrangement has greatly benefited both railroads, as the total train capacity for this important traffic corridor is virtually unlimited now. Under E. Hunter Harrison's reign at CN in the mid 2000's, 5 sidings were removed on the CN side, signaling that this arrangement was permanent in their eyes. When EHH gained leadership at CP, he completed the task of gutting infrastructure at that railway too, and removed 10 sidings on their side of the canyon. The message was clear; the DRZ is here to stay.
For photographers, this operational change was met with mixed emotions. The upside being that one could now set up on the 'CP' side of the river in the morning and shoot all the eastbound traffic in optimum light, and then switch over to the 'CN' side in the afternoon as the sun shifted to favor westbound traffic. The downside to this is that for much of the DRZ, both lines run on a north-south bearing, so the time with optimum light for eastbound traffic on much of the route is limited to a scant few hours during the longest days of the year. The main point of regret though, is that on both lines many classic locations and angles were rendered effectively useless. CP has shown an appetite to run an occasional train against this current of traffic, to the effect of one or two movements per year. CN has been rigid to adhering to this doctrine though, unless the CP line has been out of service due to rock slides or other force majeure, or for the occasional work train movement.
Cue my surprise when it became apparent that CN was running their rarely used L528 symbol to pick up a cut of 32 cars from a manifest train that had been set out for reasons unknown to me at the Rosedale Siding, 22 miles up the single direction DRZ on the Yale Sub. The single light SD60 did not do justice to most of the 'old' eastbound angles on this stretch of line, but it makes a nostalgic stand in for an eastbound train taking a run at the grade and curves up the Fraser Canyon ahead.

The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.
Operating roughly once an hour between Tokyo and the Izu Peninsula is JR East's limited express train, Odoriko. Odoriko means dancing girl in Japanese, and the limited express was titled as so after the novel, "Izo no Odoriko", or "Dancing girl of Izu". These limited express trains, until 2021, were operating using classic JR 185 series EMU's before switching over to the current E257's. It's somewhat expensive to ride, but it is a comfortable way to see Japan, and the Pacific Ocean by train.
Here, a Tokyo bound Odoriko crosses over Ishibashi near Odawara while paralleling the shore of Sagami Bay.
