Well, it feels like I'm starting to run out of shots to post... Reaching back in my shots during a trip to the coast in April for this one. A 44 sec exposure during sunrise. The exposure wasn't perfect, blowing out some highlights, but did my best to make something out of it. These rocks are the coquina outcrop at Ft. Fisher near Kure Beach, south of Wilmington, NC.
An MTA employee looks out as the 2 train is leaving the Wall Street subway station in New York City on January 14, 2010.
This photo is part of a series of portraits of MTA conductors on the New York City subway. Together they capture the special New York moment just before the conductor lets the train leave the station. For other photos in the series, visit this set. For more general subway shots, check my subway set.

This is the biggest little owl. He has been out of the nest for awhile and seems to be getting along alright.

Having arrived with a train from the west, Eastleigh's work-stained 34061 reverses out of Brighton station and onto the shed yard in 1963. Transferred to Exmouth Junction by the end of the year, it would soon be back at Eastleigh for withdrawal. 73 Squadron was one of four Light Pacifics to be scrapped at Woods, Queenborough in 1964/65, not a yard that I was previously aware of.

I just can't get enough of this view, I zoom out when I see that the sun is lighting up some houses selectively , making them stand out against the morning sky.
Also some on the rockface closer to me, but still hiding the coloured beach-huts in a secret salty haze.
Thanks for viewing, M, (*_*)

IC Swallow liveried 43102 had been due to lead the second southbound working of the day from Nottingham, however the aforementioned signalling problems at Sheffield meant this set reversed and was diverted via Barrow Hill. Coupled with the booked reversal at Nottingham this meant 43102 actually ended up on the rear to London, not particularly ideal. Ex-LNER East Midlands Railway livered 43295 is seen racing passed Cossington with 1B23 06:34 Leeds to London St Pancras service on 12th April 2021.

Tea bags.
[Just a warning: What follows here is a satirical piece for the Macro Mondays theme April Fools. The attempt at humour is based on the caricature of the insular English as a linguistically arrogant (and ignorant) and xenophobic people.
I'm very aware, though, that humour often doesn't travel well over water. Please be assured the thoughts expressed are not those of the management!]
The British are a nation of tea drinkers.
As you’d also expect from the world’s fifth largest economy we are not afraid to lead the world in embracing the modern. And a prime example is the tea bag.
The main advantage of this life-changing invention is that you can so easily hang them out on the line to dry, ready for the next use. Gone are the days of scraping out tea strainers and spreading the contents on trays to dry in the sun (or, more likely, to be blown away).
Thus we preserve our life line of infusions - the more important in these days of diminishing Empire, when confounded upstart democracies threaten our supply chain!
Tea drying by any method, of course, creates a problem when faced with our climate. Constant drizzle, cold grey fog, damp chill winds, or even deluging downpours are certainly not good for drying the little bags.
But British ingenuity, like so often in history, is not to be underestimated.
We have designed little drying racks to stand the tea bags before the kitchen fires, or even (in lower establishments) the living-room hearths.
The better British households also have wooden frames attached to pulleys which can hoist the desiccating bags up to the room ceilings where the drier and warmer air pools.
I have heard, reliably too, that some of the very modern hovels are obliged to forego fires and instead have a curious thing called central heating that involves warming water in radiators.
I’m surprised it works. I think it’s mainly the lower classes that have them because they can’t afford the servants to make the fires.
But even here British inventiveness knows no bounds - you can get little racks to hang on the radiators to dry your tea bags. I kid you not - I have seen them advertised on Amazon!
So tea remains the drink of choice of the landed classes. I am trying to avoid mentioning the vile craze at the moment amongst the peasantry for that roasted bean thingy from Ethiopia.
I am certain this will never catch on and is just a passing fad - we are far too sensible as a nation.
I mean whatever good came out of South America? Just think of the ghastly tango!! Not to say anything about the slumba, rambo, and sizla or whatever they are: those corrupt orgiastic gyrations promoted as exercise by dodgy gyms. Proof, if any were needed, that exercise was a Bad Thing.
Ahah! The would-be geographer of the family has mentioned that Ethiopia isn’t in South America.
It matters not to the cut and thrust of my argument. My firm riposte was that as there are only two languages in the world, English and Foreign, that it is fair to conclude there are only two countries worthy of mention: Britain and Foreign. That Foreign is spread across several continents is immaterial to the point.
And, in any case, most areas of Foreign (all the good bits anyway) have been successfully invaded by our colonists. So that’s all well and good (as long as they pay their tea tax of course).
Sorry. I shouldn’t let it get me so wound up.
I am meandering off-piste. (Don’t you just love the way the British integrate so well with the world! The way they graciously include words of Foreign in the mother tongue… especially when they don’t really understand them (and, no, I’m not going to ask what off-piste really means in this forum).
This is an image of my tea bags.
I am, I admit, a particularly sophisticated tea drinker, having different types of tea to suit the changing hours of the day.
For Breakfast I have… er… English Breakfast (OK, so perhaps I’m not that sophisticated...), a strong tasty tea with plenty of backbone to get me going in the morning.
At Lunchtime I have a more refined, delicate tea: Earl Grey, a blend of light Indian teas and the rind from the bitter bergamot orange. This acts as a pick me up and keeps me going (mainly to the loo, it has to be said, though that may be a detail too far for this family-friendly group...).
Then at Teatime a bit of refinement with pure Ceylon: a delectable flavoursome tea with a beautiful orange colour. Delicious! (And more going...)
I label the pegs so I know which bag is which and prevent disasterous confusion of the types. The different colours help further in the dim light of dawn...
And if my viewer thought BLT stood for the ingredients of a sandwich, I am afraid you are a little behind the times. The cognoscenti (which I think means the finely perfumed classes) now have Sbam sandwiches (Streaky Bacon, mashed Avocado and Mayonnaise). Even the riff-raff of British society have always loved sbam sandwiches…
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image (though if you do it is probably a reasonable cause for concern…). Happy Macro Mondays :)
