A Craigentinny - Dunbar via Edinburgh Waverley STP appeared on RTT.
Here at East Linton 0Z43 passes with just 2 HST power cars. I assume they were out on test, as they were to return to Craigentinny after reaching Dunbar. 25th June 2014 at 1156
One of the most interesting subjects in Street Photography as far as I am concerned is capturing people that are "Out of place" just like this old lady here. I saw her looking around at all the crazy young people enjoying themselves with a puzzled look on her face and I just had to snap her! It is slightly out of focus because I had it on MF, but still came out ok I guess. Snap!

#photoaday #stayathome
Haven't had any time to get out with the camera so far this month, so as I had to work today, the plan was to grab some architecture/long exposure shots afterwards.
Unfortunately, a flat grey sky put paid to that plan, so had a quick look around Spitalfields instead while getting my lovely wife some chilli chocolate from Montezuma's.
Wasn't much happening there today and this was about the best I got. A bit different from my usual, but was nice to click the shutter again..
Like all good photographer's dogs, Ziggi likes to check himself out in the mirror after a good bath!
Stasera preferisco far parlare i Radiohead.
Perché i Radiohead hanno le parole per tutto.
I want you to know
He’s not coming back
Look into my eyes
I’m not coming back
Out and about again.
Operative and on my toes.
There's a funny story here:
A colleague, on his break, orders pizza for delivery.
Without telling me. Bad decision.
He can follow the delivery on a map in his phone.
He is hungry. He is counting down. Watches the dot on his screen and drools, probably.
Me, outside, on a level 5 security mission.
Watches a white, small car slowing down on the street.
I look at the driver.
In my world, he looks suspicious.
The car is unmarked, not a sticker about delivery or so.
I look the way I look, and carry a MP5 machine gun.
I walk slowly towards the car. He drives away, quickly.
30 seconds later: my (hungry) colleague comes running out, wearing just half what he should wear and carry, in a t-shirt and shouts: "have you seen a delivery guy, here, a minute ago, or so?"
I shrug and look at him with my on-duty-dead-fish-eyes.
His phone calls: The delivery guy have parked three blocks away and asks him to come and get his pizza because "I´m not going back to that address."
He runs for three blocks to get his, by now lukewarm pizza, gets it and comes back.
I look at him and give him a faint smile.
Sometimes, work can be really amusing...
Maldon.
The Simson family took out pastoral runs around what is now Maldon in 1840. They had the Cairn Curran and the Tarrangower runs. It was near the foot of Mount Tarrangower that gold was discovered in December 1853 precipitating a gold rush in early 1854. The discovered of gold at Maldon was John Mechosk who received numerous government payouts for discovering gold fields apart from the one in Maldon. He also discovered the goldfields at Dunolly, Maryborough and Fryerstown. He received around £1,000 from the Victorian government for his efforts. A town was surveyed and developed in 1854 and it is believed that a member of the survey party suggested the name of Maldon because the hilly country reminded him of Maldon in Essex England. The diggers, up to 20,000 of them, were controlled by the District Gold Commissioner Bernard Smith who arrived and set up camp in 1854.The diggers had their canvas areas throughout the region but the town of Maldon soon had several public buildings including an early timber famed Wesleyan Methodist church built in 1855 and a brewery and several hotels built in 1854.
The Maldon gold finds were especially rich and mining companies developed areas to the north, east and south of the town with mining sites such as the Beehive Mine, the Nuggetty Mine, Eagle Hawk Mine, Bell’s Reef, the North British mine etc. Mining continued for a long period and as late as 1903 there were still over 1,000 diggers on the sites around Maldon following the last gold rush of 1897. But this was the last period of active mining around Maldon and the population had shrunk considerably by the 1920s. Because it was not on a main road to anywhere Maldon languished in semi-isolation for the next 50 years until the National Trust declared it the “First Notable Town in Australia” as its mining sites and historic buildings were still largely intact and the town showcased the life of a 19th century Australian gold mining town. Whole streetscapes of Maldon are heritage listed and a number of significant mining structures are still standing such as the 98 feet high Beehive Mine tower built in 1863. It stands at the top of the main street. The cemetery a few kilometres out of town has a fine Chinese funerary burning chamber probably from around 1865 when the gold mines were at their peak. The cemetery was opened in 1861 and the gate house was built in 1866. 121 Chinese are known to have been buried in the Maldon cemetery but only a couple of headstone are known. But there is little other evidence of the significant Chinese population of diggers that were once in the Maldon district. The town proudly proclaims that fact that over 2.1 million ounces of gold was extracted at Maldon worth about 3 billion dollars at today’s values.
Because of the wealth of Maldon it has numerous outstanding or significant historic buildings although it was never a really large town. Apart from the many fine hotels and commercial buildings the town has the Penny or Denominational School built as an Anglican school in 1856 but open to any child whose parents could afford the fees. 120 pupils were enrolled at this small school in 1857. The building was enlarged and rebuilt in 1862. The state school in Maldon was not built until 1875. It is still an impressive building. Near the Penny School is one of the early churches of Maldon the Welsh Congregational Church which was built in 1863. There were many Welsh and Cornish miners on the Maldon diggings. Nearby are several churches including the Anglican Church (1861), the Catholic Church built 1891 (replacing an earlier 1859 church), the former Wesleyan Methodist Church built in 1863 (replacing the 1855 wooden one), the Presbyterian Church built in 1905 (replacing an earlier 1861 church) and the Welsh Baptist Church built in 1865 with matching 1890 additions. Further away on the hill near the state school is the impressive Maldon Hospital. A wooden temporary hospital was established in 1859 but this grand classical designed hospital was built in 1867 beside the temporary building. One wing of the classical façade hospital was built in 1860 and the other in 1862. In 1867 the temporary structure in the middle was replaced with the central two storey hospital section which still stands. A further wing was added after this. The design for the hospital was chosen from entries to a public competition. The current town museum was once the Maldon Market which was erected in 1859. Near this central government camp area of Maldon which the Gold Commissioners used you can also find the Courthouse built in 1860 and the Post Office built in 1870. Nearby is the Athenaeum Library built in 1934 and still in use as the town library. This 1934 structure replaced the previous Athenaeum library built in 1863 and destroyed by fire in 1933. In addition to the usual commercial buildings, banks and hotels in the main street there is also an old grain store and further away is the railway station. A train line was built to service Maldon in 1884 and a fine red brick station built in 1888. It closed in 1976.
Other buildings of note in Maldon are MacArthur’s Cottage in High Street with the very unusual three dimensional brick work effect around the door and windows. It is next door to the Anglican Holy Trinity church. McArthur’s cottage was built in 1860s. The old Grain Store and Brooks’ Store were built in 1866 for the Maldon Cooperative Trading Company. This cooperative was not successful and went into liquidation in 1872 when John Brooks acquired the property and it is probably at this time additions were added. Members of the Brooks family ran this store until 1986. The Maldon Hotel was built in 1909 and the adjacent Shakespeare House and gallery was erected in 1907. Across the street is the 1854 established McArthur’s Bakery. The sign on this building relates to the establishment of the bakery not the actual building. This corner bakery was built in 1895. The old Beehive Market in Maldon began life as Franklin’s boot and shoe warehouse in 1870. The building later became a timber yard. Upton’s Butcher shop in the Main Street was established on this site in 1859 and the store was built then with the veranda added in 1860. The parapet is more modern being added to the shop in 1907. The Maldon Timber and Hardware building with the fancy parapet was built in 1897 after the earlier building on this site burnt down. It began life as a drapery.
Fiberglass fish were one of the public art projects in Racine about ten years ago. This one has been in this garden ever since. It has the words "from the bottom of my carp" painted across the tail.
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #11 - Like a fish out of water. I checked on the meaning of that phrase and found it refers to someone who is uncomfortable and unsure of how to act in an unfamiliar situation. I couldn't come up with anything close to that, so I'm going with the more literal interpretation!

Up the lion again (sounds like a carry on film) took my daughter out again while she chatting to some lads I managed to catch up with some girls.
This is the lovely Emma our paths has crossed a few times but this is the first chance we have had to talk.

Not my best picture but hope you enjoy the story. Set off with great confidence in these 4” stiletto heels along the Thames path until I encountered the wooden decking at the restaurant. Forgot to keep weight to front of shoe and heel (with all my weight) went between the cracks. Had to step out of the shoe, kneel down, and in a very unladylike manner retrieve the shoe. Lesson learned and good laugh for all. 😀😀
Trying something a little different! Canon with Russia 20mm lens. Speedlight with 20" beauty dish. manual 1/8th power.
The trail (road) that leads to Grand Falls is just behind this car. On my way out and back to the major highway I could not help but think this poor soul never found the Falls.
It took me most of the morning to find it, and with Freemont Peek (thanks Chris) in the background, such a derelict leaves one wondering, just how hard is it to find the Falls.
