Ex-Yugoslavian Railways Class 83, 0-8-2, No.83158, passes the loading point at Grivice where coal is fed by conveyer belt from a large open pit coal (lignite) mine. The 760mm narrow gauge line opened in 1947 for coal haulage and is still in commercial operation today, largely using diesel traction with steam as a backup. The train on the right is headed by a diesel locomotive and will make its way to the washery at Oskova. Banovici, near Tuzla, Bosnia Herzegovina.
The sunset yesterday evening. I was just about to light up the BBQ when I saw the sky and decided to take a quick drive down to Lucas Point for a few shots. I should have taken the tripod for some HDR shots.
Friday evening, weather about to change, a stroll up and back on the pier, this family just leaving.
Politely asked if they had just 'caught' dinner, 'sure did' the father replied.
He placed the bucket on the ground, moved the net and shows his catch, sufficient enough to feed his wife and child, and more than once.
Asked for a photo, explaining - not of the fish, rather you and your family. I want to remember this day.
They gathered around, Mum lifted the prams sun protector, and this is the frame.
Just how lucky are we to have such beautiful people in our area.
Feeling blessed, it completed my day - hopefully, the story, yours.
Mind you, after the next 'chat' along the way, the male fisherman made it clear that he did not wish any photograph taken; I accept that and, by the way, he was kind in his reply.

The Market Place at Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire on Monday 11th February 2019.
I am sharing this photo because I wanted to celebrate how wonderfully picturesque and characterful the market town of Beverley is. Sadly for me I only had a couple of hours here but would gladly return, given the opportunity.

Kodak Ektar 100
This is my second go around shooting Kodak Ektar, I've been mainly shooting Portra. I really have been disappointed in what I am getting out of the film. While trying to break down what could be the issue, I'm hoping that the cause may be due to how liberal the shutter speed timing on my P67 is getting. I while my higher shutter speeds have been failing I think i might not be noticing the timing being off because of how impossible it is to improperly expose portra.
This shot came out okay. I will be curious to give Ektar another try after I get my camera fixed. I see people getting amazing latitude, color and sharpness out of that film that Its still worth more trying to me.
We were lucky that the fog lifted and revealed a beautiful sky and sunset at our last trip to the coast. Taken near Santa Cruz at Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Pescadero, California.
Manchester State Beach - New Years Camping Trip
While the roads to here weren't all that pleasant for a 30' trailer, the views were spectacular. We stayed at Manchester KOA (4 Star Rating BTW) and drove to the Point Arena Lighthouse. The road from hwy 1 to the lighthouse drives a long a scenic route along the scenic bluffs.
We stopped at two look out points, one further up and this one. We had both kids but placed them in backpacks, there is no guard railing and one excited running kid could easily go off the ledge. There wasn't any clouds or exciting sunset but we had to choice, if I wanted a shot this is what we got.
I took a few shots, under and overexposed and had a hard time finding a good color composition. After downloading the new Photoshop CC I decided to play around with B&W. I ran three different post processing editions, Lightroom only, Photoshop & Nik programs. I decided to keep this one from PS and will ponder later what still can be done.
"Bone pointing" is a method of execution used by the Australian Aborigines. It is said to leave no trace, and never fails to kill its victim. The bone used in this curse is either made of either human, kangaroo, emu or even wood.
Before it can be used, the kundela (bone) is charged with a powerful psychic energy in a ritual that is kept secret from women and those who are not tribe members. To be effective, the ritual must be performed faultlessly. The bone is then given to the kurdaitcha, who are the tribe's ritual killers.
These killers then go and hunt (if the person has fled) the condemned. The name, kurdaitcha comes from the slippers they wear while on the hunt. The slippers are made of cockatoo (or emu) feathers and human hair - they virtually leave no footprints. Also, they wear kangaroo hair, which is stuck to their bodies after they coat themselves in human blood and they also don masks of emu feathers. They hunt in pairs or threes and will pursue their quarry for years if necessary, never giving up until the person has been cursed.
The condemned man may live for several days or even weeks. But, he believes so strongly in the curse that has been uttered, that he will surely die.

Obviously, a bone that still has a pulse isn't used.

Under the Milkyway.
The lighthouse looks as though it has a bend in it... but I checked and it is straight :P
The Milky Way and some fog at Brass Point Bridge.
"A long and narrow steel bridge with wooden decking which incorporates a wooden swing bridge (an unequal arm, center bearing timber swing bridge, one of only four remaining on the Rideau) at the west end. The swing bridge is operated by Parks Canada. This long (148 m / 485 ft) bridge was originally built in 1887. The wooden spans were replaced with steel spans in 1903 and new cribbing was installed in 1978.
This is the only remaining bridge of this type (multi-span with a swing bridge) on the Rideau Canal. There used to be similar bridges at places such as Rideau Ferry, Becketts Landing, Kars and Manotick - those have all been replaced by high level bridges." - Ken W Watson, rideau-info.com

Black Point Fissures. These deep, narrow cracks occur on the crest of Black Point, a volcanic cinder cone on the north side of Mono Lake. The cone was formed about 13,000 years ago during an eruption that began beneath Lake Russell, the Pleistocene ancestor of modern-day Mono Lake. These cracks are the result of rapid cooling of the volcanic rocks in the glacially-fed lake. Inyo National Forest. Near Lee Vining, Mono Co., Calif.

Been dying to see this place, and on my way back to Los Angeles from Santa Cruz, I made a stop and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It has a very unique environment, which makes it thrive with life and one of the only places in California with water as blue as it is.
