Early hours of the morning whilst walking around London. I was trying to photograph St. Pauls when this bus came into view and nicked the focus point.... I quite like it though!

Final [4 of 4] of a short 'Mood' street series. [Or, just another excuse to play around with post processing techniques! : ) ] All these shots were taken in a 2-3 minute walk up the high street, and all shots were taken with my camera at chest level. [That is, making no real attempt to hide the camera, but making eye contact with people, while holding the camera in an obvious/suspicious way.]

A man stretches dough to make Xinjiang style pulled noodles at the Shufu County Bazaar near Kashgar, Xinjiang, China. Pulled noodles are a staple food in Xinjiang, topped with a tomato-mutton sauce which tastes nothing like your typical Chinese noodles.
We pulled off the road and found this on a back road in middle-of-nowhere Arkansas.
By middle-of-nowhere, I am not being sarcastic...This was on a forest service road.
- Bitte ziehen ! - Please pull ! -
Another funny and cute dog collar. Red soft leather collar lined with black leather. D-Ring in front, buckle closure and don't forget the "please pull" tag in front :)
The same train seen in the prior post is pulling down the siding in Browning approaching the Heart Butte Road crossing near MP 1123.9 on BNSF's Hi Line Sub. The battered and worn wooden ex Great Northern depot is just out of sight to the left.
The snow is blowing fiercely and the temperature was NEGATIVE nine degrees, which may explain why this crew was heard on the radio trying to talk the dispatcher out of stopping at Browning for a pickup. Alas, they lost the argument which is why they are seen here crawling down the siding.
A classic set of power common for that time is in charge as BNSF 8266 (EMD SD75M blt. Feb. 1996) leads EMDX 9081 (Oakway leasing EMD SD60 blt. Dec.1986) and BNSF 822 (GE C40-8W blt. Apr. 1992 still in as delivered Santa Fe warbonnet paint).
The old wigwam burner at the sawmill at left makes for a nice prop and harkens to another era. A wigwam burner is a waste disposal facility commonly used by sawmills in the Pacific Northwest during the first half of the 20th century. In the process of sawing lumber out of logs there is necessarily portions of the log that cannot be made into lumber. This includes the bark, sawdust, planer shavings as well as the 'slabs' or rounded portions of the log that are sliced off. By the second part of the 20th century markets for this 'waste' was often found, but before that it was the norm to burn it. The problem with burning it was that one needed to avoid burning the mill while disposing of the waste. The Wigwam burner (so called because of its shape) was essentially a large 'burn barrel'.
A conveyor usually fed the wood products in the top, and it was vented some around the base to control the fire. Screens at the top were designed to let the smoke out, but attempted to control the cinders and sparks which would threaten the area. In those days the pungent odor of wet wood burning was always associated with sawmills as the fires burned most of the time and smoked profusely. Environmental issues related to the smoke lead to them being banned in many states as early as the 1960's, but by then their use was in decline. Mills and found a way to chip the slabs and larger pieces of wood and sell the chips for paper making. This left a much lower volume of waste, just the sawdust, planer shavings and bark which itself is often used in landscaping or ground into wood pellets for modern stoves leading to almost no wood waste and relegating artifacts like this to the history books.

CSXT 1967, the Seaboard Coast Line Heritage Unit, heads up CSX train I115 (Chambersburg, PA, to Bedford Park, IL, stacks) as he heads through Roll Avenue at the west end of Barr Yard in Riverdale, Illinois on CSX's Barr Sub.
SCL's slogan was "Pulling for You".
After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end I wanna thank you
'Cause you made that much stronger.

This is my neighbor Ivan Snuggs. He is 87 years old and still competes in tractor pulls. This is his 1955 Farmall International 400 at the Boone County Fair in Belvidere, IL.
This is how it's been sense Normandy - one town to another. We get there, dig in, and wait for the Americans or the British to push us out . It is growing more and more bloody every day we never know who will get hit next.

Another scene I took today. Sorry that the story isn't the best. Comments are appreciated.
Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) pulling an earthworm from the ground. What a great lunch would it make!

Iowa Interstate Railroad's (IAIS) Harbor transfer job pulls their train out onto the Harbor (IHB) mainline in Blue Island, Illinois before preparing to shove it back all the way through Blue Island Jct., and into Blue Island Yard, which is actually in neighboring Riverdale.
Trailing unit IAIS GP38-2 703 began life as PC 7949 and was built by EMD for Penn Central in May of 1972.
With the sanders on full, MQT 2044 and 2042 are in a hard pull coming into Scottville with a train of Ludingtons that will be set out in Walhalla. This is a shot I have had in mind for a while and attempted to do all summer with the night job but it never worked out. Here the daylight Ludington job makes an odd evening run east and some how was timed perfectly with the setting sun.
Pulling the grade out of Creston,IL is UP 8196 east, a new ES44AC with a heavy stack load from Global III to West Chicago.

A sight that pulled me up short! I recognised the livery immediately, and knew which vehicle it was. Former TrentBarton 927 (R927RAU) has been in Ireland for several years, latterly with O'Neill, Walkinstown. However, it is now at the end of it's life, and is at Universal PSV for spares recovery prior to scrapping.
Despite having had at least three owners, the livery has not changed, and the remains of the branding are also visible. No sheep on the outside though!

Pulling Line is a very strong STRING, made up of multiple poly fibers, used to pull electrical wire, etc through conduit. It comes in various different colors so that several can be left in the conduit for later use if needed. It is also very smooth to minimize friction, which also makes it difficult to knot, but easy to tie to the ends of wires - if you know how.
This is the top of the container which feeds the line as you pull the other end.

I'm sitting down by the highway
Down by that highway side
Everybody's going somewhere
Riding just as fast as they can ride
I guess they've got a lot to do
Before they can rest assured
Their lives are justified
Pray to God for me baby
He can let me slide
'Cause I've been up and down this highway
Far as my eyes can see
No matter how fast I run
I can never seem to get away from me
No matter where I am
I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
From where I want to be
Now I'm running home baby
Like a river to the sea
Baby if you can see me
Out across this wilderness
There's just one thing
I was hoping you might guess
Baby you can free me
All in the power of your sweet tenderness
I can see it in your eyes
You've got those bright baby blues
You don't see what you've got to gain
But you don't like to lose
You watch yourself from the sidelines
Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
To keep yourself amused
I don't mean to be cruel baby
But you're looking confused
Baby if you can hear me
Turn down your radio
There's just one thing
I want you to know
When you've been near me
I've felt the love stirring in my soul
It's so hard to come by
That feeling of peace
This friend of mine said
"Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
I thought I was flying like a bird
So far above my sorrow
But when I looked down
I was standing on my knees
Now I need someone to help me
Someone to help me please
Baby if you need me
Like I know I need you
There's just one thing
I'll ask you to do
Take my hand and lead me
To the hole in your garden wall
And pull me through
- Jackson Browne

An RCO yard job pulls a cut of cars through CP ALLEN before shoving them back into bowl of the hump. A nice sampler of Allentown's yard power is on the consist with a rebuilt SD40E, GP38 Highood, and an Ex N&W SD40-2.
In order to get bigger tires on the 914, the previous owner pulled the fenders a bit. I'm so glad he did.
Georgia Central train Y115 has 30 loaded wood chip cars on the drawbar as it heads east across the former Savannah & Atlanta and Central of Georgia diamonds in Savannah, Georgia. On the rear of the train are two additional U23Bs along for the ride back into town. The consist was cut apart at Meldrim to facilitate switching the customer and is explained in the next photo caption.
