08670 propels some Auto ballasters that have been loaded from what the railway calls a vrtual quarry where they bring bulk loads of ballast in and unload onto the pile and then load wagons as required for engineering requirements
Sanderlings heading straight towards me at East Mersea Island. This was a case of spray and pray. Not that you can spray a lot with the Z50ii,!
Retired EMU units 20 and 25 are pushing into the Ipswich Workshops by diesels 1725 and 1754 ( out of sight ). Over the coming weeks the units will be dismantled and sent to the scrapyards.
ROG 37884 Propels the Scotrail 318 EMU out of Platform 3 at Kilmarnock into Bonnyton depot for refubishing. No doubt the loco will be back in a month or so to take it back to Yorker depot. Nice to see a few enthusiasts on the platform!
This is the 'pulled back' shot, as wide as possible to capture the scene. The 2 x 20s in the foreground are shunting the S Stock into the building very slowly. These 2 locos were on the rear of the train on arrival, whilst the pair to the right were on the front.
Loco 47714 can be seen in the background, still in the early Anglia livery. An unidentified class 08 is adjacent to the S Stock. There is a second class 08 on the far right, slightly obscured by the trees.
The Sun is just starting to break through the dark sky, not many minutes before this shot, there was a very heavy shower of rain.

Heading back to the loading point at Jóźwin in EL2-06 after depositing another load of lignite at the Pątnów power station on the KWB Konin brown coal railway in central Poland.
The driver is seeing the railway line before him using the CCTV screen as the train is propelling in the return direction. But still, he can see most of the signals from his cab and he has a version of AWS, he must cancel out the signals on approach by pressing down on the deadmans peddle or hitting a button on the driving desk, this, like in the UK, is signalled by a warning bell at the driving desk. Otherwise the brake air reservoirs will dump and the brakes will go into emergency stop. 9th March 2023 .
This was not an easy photo to achieve, the main problem being the intense rattling and the motion of the loco felt inside of the cab. A higher than normal ISO has been used, 1250 I am generally out of my comfort zone past 400! A low aperture, f2.8 and relatively low shutter at 1/60th has also been used with a 24mm lens, and I had to press the camera hard up against the wall of the cab for stability. Of course, looking at the motion of the cab interior as the shutter was pressed it did not look like this would work but it did. Luckily, the cab construction is rigid.
37712 prepares to propel a failed 47844 out of Southampton's down bay platform and onto the stock that would form the 18.14 Bournemouth to Manchester which on this occasion would be starting from Southampton. I had haulage behind the 'Heavyweight' 37 between Southampton and Basingstoke
some of my long time flickr friends may "get"
this more readily , knowing that most often i
can be found in a garden , either whenever
the seasonal maintenance & climate allows
OR

ps: HFF and happy positive resolutions 😃
Impressions from my recent trip to San Francisco, Yosemite, Sequoia, King's Canyons Naional Parks, and the Monterrey - San Francisco section of Highway 1.
A couple of degraded Agfa slides. 25910+25904 propel a single diesel fuel tank from Stanlow out of Arpley Yard for onward transit to Allerton TMD, no the railwayman on the left didn't get run over. 15 September 1986.
This "jet propelled boat" works by putting a tiny bit of methylated spirits in the reservoir which feeds through a wick and by some miracle of surface tension makes it move...the instructions are quite complicated ..including soaking off any floating impurities off the water surface with a newspaper
-powercraft for indoor use
-no heat required
-absolutely harmless
YAK-52 after starting up and ready to taxi out.
Nearly 100% full disc, but handheld the 1/30 shutter speed was the slowest I managed during the start-up sequence.
Captured at Zoersel airfield during the 2010 Chipmeet.
Juvenile Antillean Kingfisher (knotta birdus) ~ Sarasota County, Florida
West coast Florida birders were treated to great looks at this Antillean Kingfisher. They are normally found in the Lesser Antilles and a few other islands. What was most striking to me about the bird was its large head relative to his body which serves an important purpose. The added weight allows the kingfisher to get deeper below the surface where larger prey can be found. The weight also helps the hunting as gravity propels the bird to simply fall into the water at great speeds with minimal wing movement to not scare the fish.
Thanks for visiting!
73109 and 73133 passing lots of happy commuters at Clapham Junction on the 18.00 Waterloo - Poole. 20 June 1989.
I was watching this juvenile on the fence, ready to shoot because I knew he would fly to the burrow. A golfer got too close to the fence looking for his ball and I got lucky! Looks very weird and has a seriously evil look! I edited out the fence.
I wasn't as close as it looks.
Part of the fuschia series I posted a couple of months ago. This shot was a hand held, taken vertically - with a bit of photoshop to boost the colours. I like the fact that none of it is perfectly in focus - it seems to add movement to the 'propellor'.

In the gathering gloom Class 91 electric No 9111 'For the Fallen' propels 1A45, the 17.45 Leeds - LKX LNER passenger service up Gamston Bank.
I'm getting far to old and slow to keep up with these beautiful flyers! Lovely to see them though!
Swifts are migratory throughout their range. They arrive in the UK in the last week of April or early May and stay only long enough to breed.
Autumn migration begins in late July or early August. The onset of the migration is believed to be triggered by the lack of insects high in the air.
Few swifts are left in September.
Swifts that breed in the UK migrate through France and Spain to spend their winter in Africa, south of the Sahara, where they follow the rains to take advantage of rapid changes in insect populations.
While many immature birds return to the breeding grounds in the spring - some will remain in Africa.
An amazing feat of flight and endurance for such small birds!
