I was in Austria participating in a crustal scale refraction seismic experiment (ALP) organised by a group of European universities including Birmingham between 8th and 20th September 1975. We were based at a recording station near Graz at the eastern end of the profile but the HQ was in Leoben.
I didn't know much about Austrian railways but I had read about the Erzbergbahn and its tank engines working iron ore trains up and down the Alpine mountains north of Leoben so took time off one day to investigate. Here a Class 97 0-6-2T is on a short train with another on the tail. The lead engine appears to be doing nothing and the banker is blowing off as they climbed the gradient.
Steam finished in 1978 & the Vordernberg Markt – Eisenerz section was closed to traffic by ÖBB in 1988. Today a museum line - the Erzbergbahn Association www.tourismus-leoben.at/en/culture-excursions/worth-seein... - operates railcars on this stretch of the mountain railway. After 400 years of operations the Erzberg iron mountain continues to be mined.
I took this with an old Halina 35X on time-expired film (don't ask why!) so the original wasn't brilliant, not improved by then leaving the film in the camera for about 5 years! I was pleased to find anything had survived when I developed it.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so i can save more fishes.

Here we are at North Fond du Lac, WI on 04-03-1976 observing SOO LINE arrivals and departures. SOO GP30 #711 has just arrived from Stevens Point with an F7B and an F7A for power. Ready to depart to the left is an F7-U30C combo. The men are holding a discussion at the scale house.

Red Sands sea forts abandoned in the middle of the Thames Estuary. Designed by Guy Maunsell, they were military bases in WW2 used to shoot down aircraft and stop mining in the channel.
Just a bit upstream, this creek is quite peaceful, slowly, and lazily negotiating its way around stones, cliffs and the like. But at one point, as if by a change of heart, it makes a run for it, and the quiet babbling quickly becomes a roaring crescendo, ascending in intensity, as the water loses height, one step at a time.

LE SCALE
Le scale
questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi
marmi sui quali gli umani
pavimentano l’anima.
Scale fatte d’aria
dove non ruotano i venti.
Scale adorne
che separano i ferrati dai lenti.
Scale in stile gotico, apostolico
che non portano a Dio
né alla sacralità dell’Essere.
Scale intime, abissali
sotto boschi
dove urlano i corvi.
Le scale
questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi
dalle antiche radici di ferro
che non danno colore
non spargono odore
a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.

I felt like building some more micro scale T-formers, so I decided on Shockwave. Consists of 30 pieces and transforms from robot to tank without adding or taking away parts.
I'm currently working on a Cafe-Corner scale building, and I've been building some furniture for it. Unfortunately, I haven't been thinking clearly about the scale - this furniture takes up half the room. I need to be thinking and building smaller.
L to R: refrigerator, big screen tv, stereo console
The refrigerator doesn't have a back, and it has a piece of tape on top of it. The tape isn't holding it together, it's holding it together better.
I've been wanting to take pictures of my teeny tiny Silverbeam ponies for a while now :) they are perfectly 1:4 scaled. I hope the colors on these turned out okay, I edited them on my laptop and its a color gank :/
Cappella Bizantina
Chiesa di San Nicola dei Greci, meglio conosciuta come la Chiesetta dello Spedale in quanto pare che, durante il regno borbonico, questa fu trasformata in ospedale per offrire cure ai meno abbienti. Originariamente, la chiesa era parte integrante di un monastero bizantino, ma oggi ne rimangono solo pochi ruderi, all’interno dei quali sono rimasti intatti gli affreschi della cappella principale dell’antica chiesa bizantina, nei quali è ben visibile l’effige di San Nicola.
