These are my legs after 200+ miles on the bike on one sunny day.
Taken by Carolanne, because I was about to fall over.
From the Liverpool Daily Post (a sadly missed quality regional newspaper) , Dated Monday 19th September 2005, an article reporting on the previous Saturdays trip from Liverpool to York, which featured 71000 ‘ Duke of Gloucester' only between Liverpool and Stalybridge, being failed on arrival there due to a faulty valve. From here 66081 took the train to York, but to quote later from the piece (which wouldn’t fit on the scanner) –
“A preserved veteran diesel locomotive Class 40,No.40165 (that’s what was printed!) was obtained to return the special train from York. By lucky chance, the locomotive was built at the Vulcan Foundry, Newton le Willows in 1960. Prof Toyne, a dedicated rail enthusiast said – Triumph was snatched from the jaws of defeat. We left Liverpool hauled by the ultimate British steam locomotive and returned pulled by one of the first diesels to replace steam. Nothing could have been more symbolically appropriate”.
Managed to get to York for the return, probably the last time various cranks have dropped what they were doing at short notice to chase some unplanned 40 mileage.
I was getting provisions for a small day trip by bike when two welds broke on my 1973 Raleigh which I love so much. To add insult to injury, it was my birthday too. Fortunately, my buddy Doug was able to lend me his camping bike for a wonderful outing to through Issaquah, Hobart, Kanaskat, the Green River Gorge, Franklin (a mining ghost town), Black Diamond, and Auburn. We'll see if my 35mm shots from that adventure come out....

Uncropped, MFD @ f2.4. Nicely sharp; bokeh quite acceptable; some vignetting; no sharpening.
An abandoned fence post in the vast scrub land in Iceland. Taken at the entrance to the lighthouse on the coast near to the town in which we were staying, Selfoss.
This is taken in-between Christmas and New Year on the Whitby trip. It’s a view of some posts overlooking Sandsend beach, with Whitby in the distance. I messed around with this shot for quite some time and eventually kind of gave up on it till later. I was toying with making it black and white or sepia. And I messed around with the colors a lot, but didn’t have the inclination to push it along way from the norm. I've been looking at my work lately and thinking I need to push it in a more creative direction, away from the norm, but still feel a bit tentative. I love working with Photoshop and the creative decisions that arise from working in this way are phenomenal. Maybe at the moment im just indecisive! Who knows? Anyway I must get back to my teaching work, marking to do!

Crews were installing post-tensioning strand in the pontoon tendons on Feb. 24, 2014. These tendons will be tightened to add strength to the pontoons.
Construction crews are underway on the fourth cycle of SR 520 bridge pontoons in Aberdeen. In this cycle, crews will build six total pontoons:
• Four longitudinal pontoons (360 ft. x 75 ft. x 29 ft.)
• Two supplemental stability pontoons (98 ft. x 60 ft. x 28 ft.)
You do realize that ground hogs aren't the only things to live in quite similar burrows, don't you ? This is a burrowing owl that typically lives in prairie dog towns, but may occur in other types of burrows, like ground hog holes.
This one was in Texas back in December, so I'm not sure if he saw HIS shadow yesterday or not.
Yesterday, I went to the zoo, but it didn't seem like I had much to keep. Nothing seemed right...flash died (batteries), lighting wasn't right, etc. Maybe I'll like them better when I look today again.
