……A little psychedelic and probably more suited for Sliders Sunday but quite pretty I thought? A result of ‘playtime’ with Colour Efex Pro4 - not used this plug-in much but enjoyed the play. BTW, this was a shot of the Clematis behind our garage (Jill thought it was wallpaper!!). Staying securely ‘Locked Down’ AT HOME to stay safe and also to NOT be a vehicle to the virus - Covid-19 does not have legs (or wings) Alan:-)

Back in 2007, Union Pacific had a plethora of new power roaming the rails. A new GE ES44AC pilots a Long Beach - Global 2 stack train through colorful foliage east out of Ogden, Utah on Oct. 27, 2007. I suppose we won't see big fleets of new locomotives on the UP for the time being. Management has determined that rebuilding what they already have is most cost effective.

Sorry, not sorry for posting another shot from Tuesday afternoon. This is obviously a composite as I love having the flat water and then the sky frozen, especially when it is providing colours like this. Have a couple more to come but might drip feed these later.

Force of Nature - Steam Rocket Bike

Steam Rocket Bike

Steam Rocket Bike

'Force of Nature' is a steam powered 'Rocket' motorcycle built for drag racing, record breaking, exhibitions and events. It uses the latent energy of super-heated pressurised water released through De laval nozzles, where it turns to steam and creates the thrust to propel the bike forwards.

 

The design brief was to create a Rocket bike like no other: Build quality to rival THE BEST, as well as unique green credentials. No proprietary motorcycle parts were to be used unless they were deemed un-improvable! The idea was to build a steam powered Rocket bike with a potential speed of 200+mph, which had never been achieved before.

 

Chief designer and engineer Graham Sykes has been involved in straight-line motorsport since 1979. Graham has worked on many prestigious projects including six years as race engineer for Vauxhall's championship winning British and European Touring Car Team, engineer and key team member for the 'Firestorm' jet powered dragster and is currently part of the engineering team working on '52 Express', a world land speed record motorcycle.

Winter

 

Normally a death trap in the warmer months., with slippy moss covered rocks making crossing the water. tricky. The cold weather has killed off a lot of the moss and the rocks now have more of an orange tint. One of those locations that looks great all year round.

Drax power station. The only coal powered station still under power, but burning wood pellets imported from the US. Once the most powerful power station in the UK, producing 6% of the UK power. Many questions over its sustainable credentials...but it does make or a good photo.

Wealth is power. With wealth many things are possible.

George Clason

 

Power is not all bad, if wielded properly, you can change the world for the better. It gets a bad name from those who abuse it.

 

For those who may think power is bad, remember the power of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Princess Diana, and others who sought to bring positive changes to the world.

She was an inspiration to watch abroad her powerful horse showing the young barrel racers how it's done.

 

A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. Her tears flow just as abundantly as her laughter. She is both practical and spiritual...In her essence is a gift to the world.
