37409 leaves the Kyle and heads for Inverness early afternoon. Its amazing to think that this loco is still in mainline service well over 20 years later.
I know this isn't a very exciting photo, but we don't get to see the 'SES' volunteers very often here in Perth. Western Australia.
It's a fantastic volunteer service that helps communities in times of disaster.
A bit on the lines of a. civil defence organisation in times of War.
Only these people help when Mother Nature hits hard. Very necessary these days....
I was visiting my home town in Sandstone, Minnesota on the occasion of their annual Quarry Days celebration. It starts with a memorial service for veterans held at the Veterans' Memorial. November 11 is Veterans' Day in the US. It started as Armistice Day at the ending of WW I and was later changed to the present observance.
The Fond du Lac Indian Reservation (or Nah-Gah-Chi-Wa-Nong (Nagaajiwanaang in the Double Vowel orthography), meaning "Where the current is blocked" in the Ojibwe language) is an Indian reservation in northern Minnesota near Cloquet in Carlton and Saint Louis counties. The tribe ceded land to the US as part of an 1837 treaty along with other Ojibwa bands; the lands were located mainly from east-central Minnesota to north-central Wisconsin. Later, as part of the Treaty of La Pointe in 1842, the Fond du Lac Band and other Ojibwa tribes ceded large tracts of land located mainly in the Lake Superior watershed in Wisconsin and the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. As part of an 1854 treaty, the tribe and the Lake Superior Band of Chippewa (largely situated along the northern shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota) ceded more land to the US. [Wikipedia]
Made a pass through Socorro, New Mexico recently. One of my favorite buildings is Delgado’s TV Service. It has this wing on the end of it, which is the subject of this photograph. Gotta love these odd architectural details.
Island Coach Services Van Hool Astromega TD927 OU59 AUY in Brighton this afternoon, 4th March, 2022. It was originally an Oxford Tube coach.
It’s an old service station nears Cairns, Australia. You can see there’s a dilapidated bowser on the left. The structure has had a pink wash at some point which certainly would not have been the original color.
As a teenager in the 1960’s, I would fill my first car up in places like these. You’d pull up out front and a man dressed in overalls with a good head of hair and an oily rag slung over this shoulder would skip over briskly: ‘Fill her up?’ he’d inquire, and you’d say ‘Yep. Thanks’. He’d stick the nozzle in and lock her down then be lifting the bonnet to check the oil: ‘She’s a bit low. When’s your next service?’. ‘Next month’ ‘Hmm…better get it done sooner rather than later. OK, that’ll be a dollar-eighty-five’.
Then I looked up from my camera and wondered where that good-natured fellow went.
Does anyone remember when Conrad Boyce was reciting the poems of Service in front of this cabin here back in the 80s?
His presentation and mimic was fantastic and hilarious.
I recorded one session and took some funny pictures when he recited Bessie's Boil, one of his favorites.
THE LITTLE OLD LOG CABIN
When a man gits on his uppers in a hard-pan sort of town,
An' he ain't got nothin' comin', an' he can't afford ter eat,
An' he's in a fix fer lodgin,' an' he wanders up an' down,
An' you'd fancy he'd been boozin', he's so locoed 'bout the feet;
When he's feelin' sneakin' sorry, an' his belt is hangin' slack,
An' his face is peaked an' grey-like, an' his heart gits down an' whines.
Then he's apt ter git a-thinkin' an' a-wishin' he was back
In the little ol' log cabin in the shadder of the pines.
When he's on the blazin' desert, an' his canteen's sprung a leak.
An' he's all alone an' crazy, an' he's crawlin' like a snail,
An' his tongue's so black an' swollen that it hurts him fer to speak,
An' he gouges down fer water, an' the raven's on his trail
When he's done with care and cursin', an' he feels more like to cry,
An' he sees ol' Death a-grinnin', an' he thinks upon his crimes,
Then he's like ter hev' a vision, as he settles down ter die,
Of the little ol' log cabin an' the roses an' the vines.
Oh, the little ol' log cabin, it's a solemn shinin' mark.
When a feller gits ter sinnin', an' a-goin' ter the wall.
An' folks don't understand him, an' he's gropin' in the dark.
An' he's sick of bein' cursed at, an' he's longin' fer his call:
When the sun of life's a-sinkin' you can see it 'way above,
On the hill from out the shadder in a glory 'gin the sky,
An' your mother's voice is callin', an' her arms are stretched in love.
An' somehow you're glad you're goin', an' you ain't a-scared to die;
When you'll be like a kid again, an' nestle to her breast.
An' never leave its shelter, an' forget, an' love, an' rest.

Part of a collection that I've been reunited with. These were wedding and shower and birthday gifts that I fondly remember my mom bringing out from a cabinet on special afternoons and following many holiday dinners. After she passed away, they were buried further back in the cabinet...then moved to boxes...eventually hidden deep in basement storage. They recently came to mind, and all it took was the ask and they made their way back to light and a whole new purpose.

Follow the mooring rope that leads you down to the boat, the sun ripples reflected from the water caught my eye.
Blakeney Marine Services use this boat to go and retrieve customers boats that have lost their moorings and swept out towards the sea.
They also collect customers boats to be repaired and service ready for the next season of summer boating.
Shot was taken at low level with my monopod to try and get dramatic viewpoint, the slipway here is very slippery and usually wellington bots are the order of the day. Or use an extended monopod from the safety of the quay.!!
Back 25 years. Anglia 86230 at Stratford with a Norwich-Liverpool Street service, back in February 2000.
Weathered sign over the entrance to the service shop of a long-defunct Schenectady Chrysler-Plymouth dealership. Schenectady, New York.
The based black dish actually is a dark bluish grey dish since I don't have one yet. It will took me around 4 weeks to receive a Brick Link order from overseas. So for now I photoshoped it, but for sure I'm planning to take another shot when I have the real black dish later on :)
My 21st build from 31 builds that I plan to post everyday for HARDnuary 2015 building challenge.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
Early on in the COVER OF DARKNESS series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations
