As promised, I am posting tomorrow's shot this evening.
Unfortunately this pond has all but dried up. We are supposed to get rain, tomorrow and the day after. Certainly water levels are not going to return to what I had become accustomed to overnight. This pond used to have both Beavers and Muskrats, and it seems that about 50% of the time when I visited late in the evening I would see one or both of them.
I have posted a shot of this before, and can be found here for anyone interested... www.flickr.com/photos/160381392@N05/51658124417/in/photol... A bit of a different view and completely different condtions of course, but you get an idea as to the size a few years ago.
Another view of Northampton market. Much of it is unused space these days, although the gap at the front of this shot is usually taken up by a German Christmas Market, although that will not be happening this year, apparently.

Finally had the chance to photo 43302 in its new guise (and reversion back to its old number 43102), my oh my was it worth the waiting and the uni work.
Taking charge of 1D43 (14:34 London St. Pancras - Nottingham), the record-holding power car and 43295 (also a renumbered power car, from 43095) leaves St. Pancras behind for a charge down the Midland Mainline.

As a way of marking the end of of the Class 43 power cars on the MML and acknowledge its record breaking speed of 148.5MPH in 1987,
East Midlands Railway have returned 43302 to its former glory of Intercity livery as 43102 along with the name "The Journey Shrinker".
The power car, along with class mate 43238 at the rear pass Breaston working the 1136 Sheffield to London St Pancras service as 1C43
Please note, i have removed a location box from this image and you would really benefit from either steps or a small pole here , as the bridge is rather high sided
In a sense, prayer begins where expression ends. Thew words that reach our lips are often but waves of an overflowing stream touching the shore...The wave of a song carries the soul to heights which utterable meanings can never reach.

I was playing around nearly a year ago and I got this idea... Shrinking mountains with a fish eye lens attachment. It's quite fun haha. Out of all my shrinking... This is one of my first and one of my favourites.

From the rock garden at Smith's Botanic Gardens, fabulous little Jeffersonia Dubia. This is the Chinese version of the American, Jeffersonia diphylla. Yes, named after Thomas Jefferson. Yes, has leaves that feel almost like a succulent, in bold colors. No, no Photoshop hocus pocus. :)

It certainly spoiled the view at the time but now makes for an interesting shot. Newport railway bridge was covered in plastic during its refurbishment before electrification work begins, with an attendant safety boat standing by in case any of the workers were unfortunate enough to fall in the Usk. Here 70802 crosses working 4C21 0955 Aberthaw - Avonmouth.
