Repeat spot, first seen in 2011 then again in 2016 - great to know it's still around in use.
Now up to 123k miles, with around 4,000 since it's previous MoT. There was a bit of a gap after it failed on a number of items in October '23 but the owner persevered and it passed in February 2024.
Just remembered that this wasn't the only Montego seen in 2024. There was also a saloon in France, but sadly we were on the move so no photo of that one.
One of the many apartment buildings in downtown Seattle. Were it not for blinds, they'd all be exactly the same, which both intrigues me and makes me feel like I need to shower... I'm not a fan of the cramped feel of a city.

Last Saturday's walk around London took me back to some of my old haunts. There was the Bridge of Aspiration and then this, Thomas Schütte’s 'Model for a Hotel 2007', which sits on the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square. This was taken at dusk - hence, the dark sky and the strongly lit panels, which came from nearby spotlights.
Revisiting some of these locations has been an interesting exercise to see if and how my style has changed over the last few months.
I wonder if the hotel was ever built???
Part of the ministract and dissection sets.

This is a re-edit as my earlier post that had extreme distortion of the legs due to my ultra wide angle lens. The waves aren't quite as good but it still turned out nice. Also this is one of the a few that I didn't get my lens completely covered in water so it's the keeper!
(Inside Echo Base)
[Loudspeaker]: *IMPERIAL WALKERS APPROACHING BASE. EVERYONE TO YOUR STATIONS. I REPEAT, EVERYONE TO YOUR STATIONS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL*
[Rebel captain
]: "You heard it men! Everyone to your stations, and prepare for the Attack!"
[Several rebels]: "Yes sir!!"
*EVACUATION PROCEDURES ARE IN PROGRESS. PLEASE STAND BY FOR YOUR ORDERS*
[Rebel captain]: "Evacuation, eh? Has it really come to that? The imperials must be gaining ground fast."
[Rebel soldier]: "Not that I'll miss this planet anyway sir, I say the sooner we leave the better."
[Rebel captain]: "Get back to your station soldier! Whether you survive this conflict, or not, I expect you to do your best in your post! Now, is that communicator online?"
(Rebel soldier 2): ( Somewhat shaken by the attack ) "A-almost sir."
[Rebel captain] "Well, hurry up! We need to get up the communications to the trenches, to find out whats happening out there!"
(1 minute later)
[Rebel 2]: "Got it sir! communications are up and running, and there's a message coming through! Stand by..."
[Rebel 2]: "Sir! that was point beta! they say, their taking heavy casualties from the AT-AT's!" They are requesting air support!"
[Rebel captain]: "Right! give me the control of the loudspeaker!
[Rebel 1]: "Yes sir!"
(two minutes later)
[Rebel captain on loudspeaker]: *ATTENTION! THE TRENCHES ARE BEING HEAVILY SEIGED, AND ARE REQUESTING AIR SUPPORT! WE NEED ALL T-47 PILOTS TO THEIR VEHICLES! I REPEAT, ALL PILOTS TO THEIR SPEEDERS!*
( Captain catches sight of a pilot walking around on his phone, not headed for the hanger )
[Rebel captain]: "You! pilot! to your aircraft you idiot!"
[Pilot]: "Just a minute sir! I've been chasing this pokemon for thirty minutes, and I've almost got him!"

Nothing like sitting on the floor of your room, eating crunchy, greasy, fried fries, and building hoth! XD
This is the second build for the contest between me and these other two guys. www.flickr.com/photos/141433104@N04/ & www.flickr.com/photos/carnagetheclone/
The theme for this build was "star wars, rebels/empire." So, since i have already done hoth, I kinda decided it would be fun to try again. :)
Sorry for the lame story, but after all those stories, about how stupid pokemon go is, i just had to mention it. :D
Thanks guys for your support guys! Really appreciate it as usual!
TFVAHAGD!!
god bless!
those who are pumped for mission 9.1, say "oh yeah!" XD
BNSF 9521 leads V-BLUSPM West through Mazon, Illinois. I shot BNSF 9521 leading back in June also on a vehicle train.
I brace myself for another
repeat.
The inhale/exhale of all things.
I ask myself
If I can handle
The ebb and flow
Which will sustain
And eventually damn me.
Does it matter if I don’t have a choice?
I feed the meter.
I read the scriptures.
I heed the words of my elders
Who tell me
To stitch sturdy knots in the fabric of my potential
Who tell me
To fear the great and inevitable
Consequence.
My skull is seething
I feel my bones begging
For a revolution that may never come
When I may cast off the shackles of polite existence
And go back
To eating berries.

I probably should have waited for a Monday to upload this, for maximum effectiveness. I'm too impatient to upload at the optimum times.

In todays neat juxtaposition here comes U717 running 5 minutes ahead of yesterdays time with standard power and a Keenan recrew on board. This was an 0100 train and should've been my S Curve shot around 0900 but I got no problem settling for this with my new 400
"A sparrow falls by providence, and the evening sky
is smeared indigo. I won’t repeat our darling word
dusk, since breaking old habits is a new promise.
Sometimes the heart locks, before it dangles, ready
for releasing. Something in the amorphous shape
the trees espouse at this time of day is a resistance
to anything particular or complex, as if a more subtle
variation were possible. A toning down of contrast
makes the hour we named for us a kind of yielding.
‘We are something’, you say, and I try to believe.
But even as I write, the sky’s streaks fade, the burls
of cloud formations begin to disappear, obeying
Newton’s third law that for every act in this universe
there is an equal and opposite one. Today I walked
the streets, observing what I’ve missed of late—
a white magnolia in full bloom with delicately scented
petals, chaste as Ophelia, among the topiary plants;
a house in ruins becoming some ugly new development.
And, of course, I thought of us—that hole we cut
in the stillness of evening, when the heart is disposed
to abandon the thought of never wanting this to stop.
The heart is mute but cries out in protest: Be free,
what are you afraid of? Advice I tested last night
at the Opera Bar. I kissed the princely lips of madness:
Hamlet himself, after the proscenium. Not yet drunk.
His eyes, untamed, a little lost, perhaps. I trembled
but he didn’t seem to mind, and I was glad, recalling
a soliloquy which speaks of fate’s occasion being fickle,
how the end is ever present, how the readiness is all.
The harbour slapped softly, in Luna Park the Ferris wheel
turned. At least every so often, it is good to tremble.
And somehow the moment cured me of the incomplete
metaphor of madness I had taken for myself. So moments
change us, the evening bleeds and bruises. Words come
to me as freely as a sparrow falls, unfastened by the sky."
