Painted into a corner, caught in a cul-de-sac, out on that final last-chance limb, life scrabbles around, searching for a new way out.

A simple picture painted because I'm hoping for an early Spring.
Still aiming to have a few days off Flickr as I'm very busy at the moment painting a larger landscape and three other abstracts.

Fresh out of the box this morning, Big Chief Studios' long-awaited Weeping Angel figure. Lovely sculpting and the parts all interchange neatly, easily and firmly. But some of the paint applications don't quite match up; the skirt especially seems to be lacking the final paint wipe & wash the body has. As yet (at time of writing I haven't seen any other photos of the production pieces) I don't know if this is a one-off or more common.
This cute little Chickadee has been hanging out in my backyard since the winter and stopped by sporting a new coiffure today.
A pair of climbers top out at South Stack, Anglesey. It seemed like nothing was going to come of the evening light with all the cloud cover. However, for about 30 seconds, this glow appeared through a small break. I grabbed the camera off the tripod and took this fleeting shot.
They Clarity and quality on a 135L makes it
really easy to edit the photo.

Pictured here is the now demolished Blast Furnace and Cast house at the WCI Steel complex in Warren, Ohio.
Had enough of a bubble between work responsibilities and illnesses today and get out for some shooting. I wanted to go north, but an opportunity to get vaccinated sent me back to where I work instead.
This railroad building I have shot before. It is by the Norfolk Southern tracks in Arden, NY. It was built by the Erie.

This Behemoth Bowl was located in an abandoned water park of southern China.
Spent over 60 million US dollars, the park went bankrupt in 2017. It was auctioned for nearly 12 million US dollars in 2018.
The park was over 80,000 square meters, with 5 major water slides, and 1 mini water slide for children. My personal favourite one was probably the snake water slide, and I will post it soon.
'Created' for the Macro Monday Group who's theme this week is 'Shell'. This is a mollusc's eye view of the world - taken from inside a sea shell, looking out - with a little bit added! Wishing everyone a HMM and good week ahead!
Even in the forest there's one in every crowd. Traveling down the Schoolcraft Trail at Lake Itasca, Minnesota.

Our first morning in Cromwell. We woke to heavy fog which took a while to lift. This shot is at Carrick Winery where we had a wonderful lunch.
Bannockburn, home to Carrick wines is found deep in the southern interior of the South Island of New Zealand in the wine region of Central Otago. Nestled at the southern end of one of the broad glacial river valleys surrounded by the Cairnmuir and Carrick mountain ranges, Bannockburn enjoys a continental climate with low rainfall and high sunshine hours. The long cool autumns with their warm days and cool nights create ideal conditions for the production of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Other grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris also thrive in Central Otago's microclimate.

Taken shortly after sunrise, the sun itself is partly obscured by cloud just above this frame. I manually focussed on the horizon.
Maybe it is just me, but feel like this draws me in - almost like you are out there bobbing around - click 'L' to see what I mean!
Titchwell beach, Norfolk.
From the concept shoot with hair colorist of the year Sue Pemberton. This is my personal spin on the image which has never seen the light of day.

i have not used my nikkor 18-200VR for quite a while and i thought i would take it for a spin last sunday. shot this in a park in a mall actually. the greenbelt park has the most awesome orchids and ferns in the city if you ask me. they must have cost a fortune to bring these living fossils into the center of the city. and they are thriving very well!
Out on the town with Sarah for drinks, dinner, drinks and more drinks. This is somewhere in the middle, when I'm very happy and not too far from sober.
We have met briefly before, but this is our first long evening together to get one another and it's amazing how many interests we share. We soon discovered people we both know in drab life.
It was a marvellous evening and I can't wait for the next.
I've always had a bit of a fascination for the oddities of railroading, so what makes this seemingly mundane shot fascinating?
This is just some unidentified Norfolk Southern switch job or local seen at the east end of NS' North Kansas City Yard beneath the Block 222 signals at MP S271.9 on NS' (ex NW, new Wabash) Kansas City District. This is joint trackage with BNSF's Brookfield Sub the ex Burlington mainline to Galesburg extending east all the way to Maxwell where the lines separate.
But while all that is interesting enough, the fascinating part to me is just that NS operates this far west. It is as odd as thinking about BNSF having a major terminal in Birmingham, AL and once reaching all the way to Pensacola, FL. Western Class 1s aren't supposed to be in Birmingham and eastern Class 1s aren't supposed to be in Kansas City, the Mississippi is the demarcation after all, isn't it?!
But just like the 1980 acquisition of the Frisco put the Burlington Northern and successor BNSF into those exotic locales so too did the Norfolk and Western's 1964 merger with the Nickel Plate and Wabash extend what would later become NS into places you'd least expect. The Wabash was a 3400 mile system stretching from Buffalo through the imaginary boundaries of St. Louis and Chicago and reaching decidedly 'western' road locations such ad Omaha, Des Moines, and Kansas City. The modest facility here known as Avondale Yard was the Wabash's western anchor and continues to serve as an important gateway for NS to this day.
NS 3228 seen here is a former Southern Railway high hood SD40-2 originally blt. Sep. 1973 and rblt. Jun. 2014 with this low knose 'admiral cab' at Altoona.
