Built in October 1959 as Southern SD24 2507 ( c/n 25603 ) on EMD Order 5606, it as renumbered in 1972 by the Southern to 6326. In January 1978 it was sold to PNC and put into a lease pool and leased to the Milwaukee Road and then the BN for about a year. It was returned to PNC and scrapped.

Tugs SD Independent and SD Bountiful putting the finishing touches to the berthing of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland (F79) in HMNB Portsmouth. She was ushered into the harbour and manoeuvred quickly and skilfully into her berth to enable rapid precautionary medical attention for a number of personnel following accidental chemical contamination of the drinking water purification system. According to the Royal Navy the next day, all those taken to hospital were expected to make a full recovery, with the majority already having been discharged.
Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

The Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming air show in Vero Beach. I used to photograph them, and the Thunderbirds, from outside Andrews AFB every year. I'm always amazed. I have yet, though, to actually attend an airshow. Maybe next time.
An old information sign above a Victorian letter box on the wall at the Ham Gate entrance to Richmond Park in west London. And there’s nothing like precision in numbers, is there… not 1¾ miles, but 1 mile and 1,370 yards to Robin Hood Gate, or 38 yards longer if you travel via White Lodge.
White Lodge, by the way, is a Grade 1 Listed Georgian mansion which today is home to the Royal Ballet School for students between the ages of 11 and 16.
This is the heartbeat before the roar.
A young kicker locks in, body aligned, arms wide like wings in flight, as the rugby ball leaves the tee and slices through the air. There’s no hesitation in his form — just raw intent, laser focus, and that signature explosive release. It's a moment built on repetition, discipline, and instinct… and this frame captures it all.
The black and white edit strips the image down to its essence — no distractions, just form and emotion. It highlights contrast: the light on the player’s jersey against the soft falloff of the blurred background, the clean silhouette of the kicking leg slicing across the foreground, and the textures of torn grass trailing from his boot.
In the summer of 1968 my family was returning from a vacation in Arizona, As was usual, we always found an excuse to travel close to a railhead. It's a warm late evening in the desert at the then open and working working El Garces Santa Fe station in Needles CA. We were up late to see the westbound San Francisco Chief make it's station stop here. My dad took this photo of the ATSF station clock. It has always amazed me how, back in those days, time was the most critical thing to be measured. My grandfather was a conductor for the Southern Pacific for 43 years and always carried a pocket watch with him that had to be inspected and certified by the railroad to be accurate to the second. This clock in Needles was no different, with it's notification that it is officially 2 seconds slow. Oh how times have changed.
First off, I would like to say that I am very behind with uploading photos, and it's only going to get worse as I start my new job in the next few weeks. But anyways, it's the middle of the night in Pewaukee,WI as CP 581 sits tied down with a now solo NS EMD SD80MAC, a recrew showed up at about 2300, took the second unit to eastwards to Rondout, and left the Mac here dead in the water. Even as of now, this train has yet to move an inch
The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.

The Advanced Farming Systems auto pilot feature on this Case IH Magnum tractor guides farm machinery with precision of one inch.

Gallarus Oratory, a 1200 year old building on the Dingle Peninsula which has survived perfectly apart from a slight sagging of the roof. I loved the precision of the window and door lining up like this...
HTT!
I guess it takes a good pilot to be able to work on a construction site downtown Montreal very close to all the skyscrapers. This helicopter was going up and down between buildings helping workers to get heavy material on the roof of this building.
Just one more before I clutter off into non flickr mode.
Yesterday Nancy Rose , myself and hubby attended the Air Show in Shearwater NS. The wind was particularly nippy and the sky, as far as photos were concerned was pretty gray. That said the aerial displays by the Snow Birds was impressive as was the aerobatics display that followed them. I am posted a couple from this event today as I shall be non flickring most of the week again I suspect!
Officially known as the Canadian Forces 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, the Snowbirds are Canada's military aerobatics or air show flight demonstration team whose purpose is to "demonstrate the skill, professionalism, and teamwork of Canadian Forces personnel". The squadron is under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Forces Air Command and is based in CFB Moose Jaw, near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The Snowbirds are the first Canadian air demonstration team to be designated as a squadron.
