journey.
- Their flight often begins in the Kalahari and Karoo, triggered by seasonal rains, and ends near the Mozambique coast, where many perish over the ocean.
Though often called a migration, it’s technically a one-way dispersal—they don’t return. Instead, they lay eggs along the way, ensuring the next generation continues the journey.

Thanks to Kosmas Santosa for inspirational builds which have inspired me to build out of my comfort zone, Thanks Kosmas.
From the human mind, the furnace and the forge, at the ending of the age of steam. Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built for British Railways. Preserved at the National Railway Museum in York.

LMS Hughes Crab 13065 at Ramsbottom Station.
Ramsbottom railway station is a heritage station serving the town of Ramsbottom in Greater Manchester, England.
The station was built by the East Lancashire Railway and opened on 28 September 1846.
The station once again has two platforms, the Up platform having been rebuilt by the ELR since the initial re-opening. They are connected by a footbridge (ex Dinting railway station). A station building containing a ticket office and waiting room has been rebuilt on Platform 2. Between 2006 and 2007, an L&YR pattern canopy was erected on this platform, providing a covered area next to the station building. On Platform 1, a small waiting shelter is provided. The level crossing remains at the north end of the platforms, and retains its wooden gates which are worked by the traditional 'ship's wheel' in the adjacent signal box.

Here is the 30 HP steam engine that drives the saw blades. One is in motion and the other stationary before it started. The steam enters from the right, via the pipe with the red valve handle. The piston is to the right. It drives the flywheel to the left. The big band wheel behind the flywheel drives the saw blades on the floor above. The tiny band rising from left to right drives the steam engine valves. The valves are controlled by the whirring thing on the right.
It took me a while on Wikipedia and Youtube to understand how a steam engine works, because the steam drives both sides of the piston. That is different than a gasoline engine, which only drives on one side of the piston. The valve controls which side of the piston the steam enters and powers. It also lets the steam exhaust out of the other side of the piston, which is vented outside.
The valve was the advance over the Newcomen atmospheric steam engine (1712) that James Watt invented in 1781. The valve here is a Corliss valve (I think) and is a later improvement over Watts's valve. And it uses a centrifugal regulator, which is the whirring spinning thing.
I market networking technology for a living, and it can be hard to impress people with just demonstrations of bits and bytes flying by in a wire. But a steam engine makes for a really impressive demonstration with its simplicity, its moving parts and its noise. Amazing.
Actually, I finished two days ago
but I'm so lazy to take picture :)

I was inspired to try my own story, after viewing the amazing works of Terry Border's bentobjects.blogspot.com/
Hummingbirds dart from flower to flower and it is pretty hard to get a shot of one isolated in flight. But every once in a while they will stop and hover and that gives me a chance to get a clean in-flight portrait.

Even better in shiny black and white.
Through the magic of combining two exposures ... solid stationary moon on a streaming sky ;)
My only wish is that I should have moved the comp around some to get the moon at the 1/3 point beyond the rocks. Of course I cloned in the stationary moon from the 1/4 second exposure taken below shown in the comments, and placed it where the "moving" moon was in the 4 minute exposure, so in theory I could have placed the moon at the 1/3 point in the sky ... but that would have been Cheating too much ;)

For those wanting to get their shot, it's best to stand still in the station.

Not a wildly exciting photo unless you like close-ups but a record of the time when 50's were still common.

For those that like the drama of a dark dark cloudy, almost scary had bad breams when I was a kid, look :) Oh Yeah and for those of you that don't get the title, this gas station's logo was a cute little green Dino, so in honor of the dino sinclair, well you get it....The title. :) I spent three hours on this one, the one below I only spend 15 mins on, I would be curious to know which one people like best :)
