Lately I've been preoccupied with life issues which have pulled me away from my creative side. Always amazes me just how quickly and fully reality rushes in to fill the vacuum left when creative pursuits are sidelined. It sometimes requires a very determined pushback to regain the balance of power. Tilting the playing field of my life away from the creative aspect to me is akin to sliding onto the thin ice part of the proverbial pond. Photography for me is not just a hobby but part of a lifestyle. It's one that sees me out exploring my world and separating myself, however briefly, from both convention and conventional thought. It's how I make sense of everything else. It's a very delicate balance. For now I'm just trying to avoid plunging into the black water that lies just below that veneer of ice.
After passengers have alighted to travel by coach to Daylesford or the winery as part of 707 Operations Winelander/Walkerlander tour, S306 leads the train off Platform 2 and onto the Victorian Goldfield Railway Line where it'll then move forward towards the turntable at Castlemaine so the R can be turned for the trip back to Melbourne.

They used to say "if the pipes aren't blue you aren't trying hard enough".
Triumph introduced high-rise handlebars and smaller "teardrop" tanks (commonly referred to as slim or "peanut" style tanks) for the American Bonneville range for the 1960 model year, which was officially formalised with the launch of the 1961 T120R.
The 1959 Original: When Triumph first launched the T120 Bonneville in 1959, it came styled for the UK/European market, featuring a large, boxy 4-gallon fuel tank, integrated headlight nacelle, and low flat handlebars.
US Distributor Pushback: West and East Coast US distributors (Johnson Motors and Tri-Cor) felt the original UK styling looked too heavy and dated for American tastes. They requested a leaner, sportier look that mimicked popular custom flat-tracker and desert-racing setups.
The US Export Specs (1960–1961): Triumph responded by creating US-bound export versions equipped with:
Western-style High Handlebars: Wide, high-rise handlebars offering a more relaxed, upright riding position suited for long US highway cruises.
Teardrop / Slim Tank: A smaller 2.5 to 2.75 US-gallon tank that gave the bike a much leaner silhouette.
This spec became the hallmark of the T120R (Roadster) export model and later off-road competition variants like the T120C and TT Special throughout the 1960s.

'All Nippon 216' starting-up after completing pushback and almost ready to taxi for its flight back to Tokyo-Haneda. I love the atmosphere around this airplane and the beacon reflections on engines. [ANA216]
In aviation, pushback is an airport procedure during which an aircraft is pushed backwards away from its parking position, usually at an airport gate by external power. Pushbacks are carried out by special, low-profile vehicles called pushback tractors or tugs.
