73129 was outshopped from Derby Works in August 1956. It was one of 30 built fitted with Caprotti valve gear. Originally allocated at Shrewsbury Shed (which required the fitting of GWR style lamp brackets), it was later transferred to Patricroft Shed (near Manchester) in 1958. It spent the rest of its working life there until it was stored at Patricroft from June to November 1967. It was officially withdrawn from traffic on 2 December 1967. This photo was taken at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway, October 2005,
After a bath this male wood duck did not require a towel. Just give the head a good shake. Problem solved.
But you only get a rainbow if the sun is out. But then you also get more harsh light if the sun is out. And the area is pretty enough even without the rainbow. This waterfall is literally right off the parking lot. No hike required, but if you do walk around a little, you will see other interesting things. Big Island, Hawaii, USA, December 2018

Laying the mosaic pavement requires backbreaking labor. It's an arduous job performed in a prostrate position, making this traditional art of calçeteiros both rare and expensive. When wet, the surfaces of "calçadas" tend to be slippery and can contribute to slips and falls. Also, the moisture breaks down the design requiring frequent maintenance. For this reason, today’s government is considering a way of creating a safer pavement for the pedestrian while at the same time maintaining the unique beauty of this art form as an important part of the nation's identity and heritage.
Asystasia gangetica is a plant native to India. It is an herbaceous flowering plant and can be used as ground cover in gardens and borders due to its low growing size of 2ft. This plant requires full sun, semi-shade and regular watering to thrive in any soil, but with an extra boost from compost. When it blooms, its flowers can be shades of pink, white, off-white, blue, lavender and purple. This stunning display often also attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
Kynance Cove is a stunning, tidal beach on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, famous for its white sands, turquoise waters, and dramatic serpentine rock formations and caves. A National Trust-managed gem, it's ideal for coastal walks and exploring rock pools at low tide but requires careful attention to the tide times to avoid being cut off, as it's a popular spot with no lifeguards.

A Maiko is an apprentice Geisha. Although it’s only a ceremonial role these days, becoming a Geisha requires a great deal of dedication and has a lot of status attached to it. They leave their families at a very early age (sometimes 16) and aren’t allowed much contact with the outside world in the form of friends or technology. Japan is a fairly hierarchical society and this lady had lipstick applied only to her bottom lip to indicate that she was junior. This photograph was taken at a tea ceremony in Kyoto which is these days held only as entertainment for tourists. The Maiko performs a dance and does some singing as well as making tea for her guests (EM122602_AP)
The AT-AT requires four heavy leg-ish constructions to hold it up, making it mobile. The paws has now been attached to the legs and final welding are underway. Raising the main body awaits.

The old cobbled road through the miliitary training area is locally known as "Panzerstraße" 'tank road'. It has probably been constructed in imperial times and is in a remarkable condition for its age and the minimal maintainance work it requires. Unlike tarmac it is not liable to potholes during winter. But then it does rattle your bones anyway...

The Superstition Mountains is one of the photos every Arizona photographer has. Dramatic Mountain front makes for stunning views. This is a nine, six second vertical frame panorama.
It required a lot of digital magnification to fill the frame with this barely airborne pelican and his companion waterfowl, but I like the effect of the backlighting here shooting alcmost directly into the sun.

New Brighton Lighthouse (also known as Perch Rock Lighthouse / Black Rock Lighthouse) is a decommissioned lighthouse situated at the Mersey estuary on a rock outcrop off New Brighton known as Perch Rock. Together with its neighbour, the Napoleonic era Fort Perch Rock, it is one of the Wirral's best known landmarks.
Click here for more photographs of Perch Rock Lighthouse: www.jhluxton.com/Lighthouses/Mersey-Docks-and-Harbour-Boa...
The name Perch Rock comes from a Perch; a timber tripod supporting a lantern first erected in 1683 as a crude beacon to allow shipping to pass the rock safely.
As the Port of Liverpool developed in the Nineteenth Century the perch was deemed inadequate as it required constant maintenance and only produced a limited light.
Construction of the present tower began in 1827 by Tomkinson & Company using blocks of interlocking Anglesey granite using dovetail joints and marble dowels. The design uses many of the same construction techniques used in the building of John Smeaton's Eddystone Lighthouse 70 years earlier.
Modelled on the trunk of an oak tree, it is a free standing white painted tower with a red iron lantern. It is 29 m (95 ft) tall. It was first lit in 1830 and displayed two white flashes followed by a red flash every minute; the light-source was thirty Argand lamps, mounted on a three-sided revolving array (ten lamps on each side, with red glass mounted in front of one side).] There were also three bells mounted under the gallery to serve as a fog signal; the bells were rung by the same clockwork mechanism that caused the lamps to revolve.
The lighthouse, which was always operated by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board (Not Trinity House – the lighthouse authority for England and Wales) was in continuous use until decommissioned in October 1973 having been superseded by modern navigational technology.
Although the lighting apparatus and fog bell have been removed, the lighthouse is very well preserved and retains many features lost on other disused lighthouses.
It was restored and repainted in 2001 when an LED light source was installed which flashed the names of those lost at sea; including all the 1,517 victims of the sinking of the Titanic.
At low tide, it is possible to walk to the base of the tower, but a 25-foot ladder is needed to reach the doorway. The lighthouse is privately owned and maintained by the Kingham family, and is a Grade II* listed building.
Another plan to illuminate the lantern using LEDs and solar panels was achieved with a grant from the Coastal Revival and New Brighton Coastal Community Team (NBCCT) and has been operating (albeit only to be seen from land) since 2015.
After waiting for SCT’s 3PM9 to clear the block, empty Aurizon Iron Ore service 6911S from Whyalla to Wirrida gains momentum through the popular photography spot of Yorkey’s Crossing with GWU012/GWA007 up front and GWA004/GWU014 at the rear on Thursday the 10th of November 2022.
These Iron Ore trains usually run 3 times a week to the Balloon loop at Wirrida before returning to Whyalla to export the loading overseas. The length and weight of the train as well as the network infrastructure arrangements require it to run with Distributed Power Units (DPU) to assist the train up gradients and to prevent running the locomotives around at Spencer Jct after each trip both ways. DPU running in South Australia isn’t very common and remains exclusive to this train, however it can be seen daily on the Coal networks in the Eastern states.

This bridge is located in the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve near Fayetteville, W.V. The 3030 feet long bridge stands 876 feet above the river. In 1977 when completed, it was the tallest regular car carrying bridge in the world. The bridge averages over 16,000 vehicles per day.
To an engineer, the material somewhat reveals itself by its rusty color. The bridge is made of Cor-Ten steel which was developed by United States Steel Corporation. The chemical make-up oxidizes as it ages, resulting in a layer of naturally protective material which also does not require painting. The steel was made by SSAB (Svenskt Stal AB; Swedish Steel Corporation), under license from the USS.
