The world record locomotive Siemens ES64U4 (EuroSprinter U4) of ÖBB pushes a RailJet train into Munich Central Station.
This particular locomotive holds the world speed record for electric locomotives, at 357 km/h. The record was set on the high-speed track from Nürnberg to Ingolstadt on Sept. 2nd, 2006, while the loco was still owned by Siemens and carried the number 1216 050.
In May 2008 the ÖBB received the loco, since June 23rd 2008 she runs as 1216 025 for ÖBB.

I’ve been lucky enough to record a the legendary Capitol Records Recording Studio a few times. Yes it is as great as they say it is. 😊 Here’s a quick picture from when I was there in 2019.
RIP, Don White, 11/26/21.
My uncle Don passed away this morning. He was the original record collector in our family, starting back in the 78 rpm era. He had the largest collection of music of anyone that I have personally known. This was just a small portion of his collection that he was able to take with him when he had to move into a retirement home. Keep that vinyl spinning...
Without the knife ,this could be just a close up of a rose ,so I drew a cutting knife to show how big the rose is.
First listened music (Opera classics) on one of these type of gramophones. I saw this last summer, wish I had purchased it, went back after 10 days and it was gone. I'm wandering if my grandchildren would know what it is?
“Record Store UK” was a nationwide event that was scheduled for the 18th April but obviously didn’t go ahead.
There is great interest nowadays in vinyl records, cassette tapes and other means of recording music that had been thought of as being largely defunct and this has spawned a wealth of smaller, independent retailers dealing in them.
Vinyl Attraction in Newark had not been opened long and suddenly had to close again due to the lockdown. The window is always very interesting, with many discs and memorabilia featuring many groups and names from my youth, even some records that I actually owned.
The event is put back to June and, as yet, no news as to if it will actually happen.
Happy Window Wednesday!
So... My plan was to do badgers on the Mendips tonight, but they didn't show for what ever reason. Then I remembered the Nightjars were only a fifteen-minute drive away, so off I poodled.
I'd heard one out on the ridge the last time I was there, so I thought I better head in that direction. As I neared the top one flew right past me, I knew then I was in the right place. I stood and waited, but by then the cloud was coming over, and it was getting really dark really quickly, so I thought I'd bang it on the head, pick a better night and try again...
As I walked back to the fence line I could see a tiny blob about the size of a blackbird sat on a post, I couldn't quite make out what it was, so I put the pop-up flash on and hit the shutter button. 1/15 of a second was not ideal... had I thought about it, I could have changed the settings, walked up to the little fella (might even be a female as no obvious white on wing or tail outers) and got a better shot, but I was only thinking bird in flight captures... Anyway, I've now hatched a better plan... :@)
Taking a detour on the back roads through Sharpham and Ashcott I came across a large flock of Cattle Egret on the move. By the time I found a gate to swing in to this was about the only one still to take off. I still had my setting from the previous day so ISO maybe too high. Great to see though

Think I might have to work on the quality a tad.
The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.
Holding a physical record, carefully placing it on the turntable, and watching it spin creates a more intimate and ritualistic music experience for me compared to the immediacy of streaming.
Highly compressed digital files can sometimes sound thin or lack warmth, I believe that vinyl offers a richer, more full-bodied sound due to its analog nature. I love Collecting and Building a vinyl collection for me it’s rewarding, and record stores (new and secondhand) offer a unique browsing experience for discovering new and old music. Buying vinyl directly supports the artists and labels, as they often receive a higher percentage of the revenue compared to streaming services. Vinyl evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of music listening, connecting me back when I looked towards my future.
Record crowds lined the streets of Manchester to celebrate Chinese New Year and watch the city's famous Dragon Parade in what has been described as the busiest year yet. A huge 175ft long dragon, dancing lions and traditional Geisha artists were among the hundreds of participants in the parade through the city centre.
They were watched by thousands of people who crammed along Oxford Street, Portland Street and through China Town which were all closed to traffic for the celebration on Sunday. Naturally it was the dragon dancers - formed of two parts - that drew the biggest gasps from the hundreds of youngsters lining the streets with their families.
The dragons swept over and around the crowds chasing the "Pearl of Wisdom" - a large globe on a pole which is symbolic of the dragon chasing wisdom and knowledge. Manchester's civic dignitaries earlier bestowed the dragon with red ribbons to usher in good fortune.
2024 is the Lunar Year of the Dragon - which is a symbol of good luck, health and strength in Chinese culture. The reason why dragon dances are performed at the start of the Lunar New Year is because they are believed to chase away evil spirits and welcome in prosperous times.
City centre spokesman Pat Karney hailed it a "record year" for Chinese New Year celebrations saying: "The best ever Chinese New Year Celebrations. Record crowds have been treated to a feast of dance and musical performances and the Dragon had kids in absolute awe."
