To mark 100 years of rail transport in northern New South Wales, Lachlan Valley Railway brought steam locomotive 5719 to Wauchope for a week end of celebrations. Shuttle rides to both Kendall and Telegraph Point were run over the weekend before the train continued on to Coffs Harbour and Casino.
Here 5719 passes over Pembroke Road on a return run from Telegraph Point to Wauchope.
I imagine that in the future, most airports will look like this one, where you can just hop right on a space shuttle bound for the nearest planet or galaxy. Not really a space station, this is the Bangkok International Airport and is one of the coolest structures I've ever seen. Down each terminal wing are long corridors of curved glass that let in a ton of beautiful sunshine. Subtle touches are everywhere including full orchid gardens around nearly every corner. Truly awe inspiring! No wonder Thai people are always smiling :)
I just got back from my vacation to Thailand / Japan and had a wonderful time. I must have taken one bazillion photos (at least) that I've only just begun to go through. I really lucked out with the weather and every day was sunny. It was also very warm and humid which I wasn't all that prepared for... but I definitely got my dose of Vitamin D for the year! Anyway, expect a steady stream of posts over the coming months.
As for the shot, another 9 expsosure set in order to capture the full range of light information, taken hand-held (though I do need to credit the railing with the assist). The taxi driver drove like a man possessed to the airport, and since I got there early, it gave me some extra time to troll around the beautiful airport and as luck would have it, found that the gate next door was completely vacant. I quite like the empty colorful rows of seats. Anyway, definitely another one to add to my collection of funky architecture!
Looking forward to catching up on everyone's streams! Hope you all have a fantastic week!
The Barbours Cut container terminal in the Port of Houston sends traffic to the rest of the country via shuttle trains that run to UP and BNSF's primary Houston-area intermodal facilities.
Here is UP's shuttle train, MBCHO (which is symboled as a manifest train), rolling through Deer Park Jct on the south side of the Houston Ship Channel.
In another 20 miles or so, the train will arrive and make connections at UP's Houston Intermodal Terminal at Settegast Yard.
The track in the foreground leads to Frontier Logistics's large warehouse and small SIT yard. They're switching this morning, hence the blue flag placed on the lead.

I used to work for a company called Spar aero space. I got to work on parts of the Canada arm and dedicate this shot to that mission of the last shuttle flight.

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.
What an incredible moment we had today when the Shuttle flew over many landmarks in California. We were fortunate enough in Los Angeles for many fly overs and 2 of them happen to fly over our Campuses. This picture above is from the flyover downtown Los Angeles heading over Exposition Park where the Shuttle will call home in a few days. The picture below was taken by one of my students who is running an Instagram Contest for this event. One of our campuses is above the Getty Center so the view was great for the flyover. This event excited so many and a lot of pride was felt. Definitely a day to remember.

The rocket's upper trail dissipated as it reached the higher atmosphere.
The setting sun gave the nice orange and pinkish hue to the lover level.
Local trees in my neighbor's yard blocked view of the actual launch stage.

The Sentec Aerospace Bureau S-18 (Sparrow) was designed to ferry small shipments between major shipping ports. With minimal space for its crew of two, the shuttle devotes much of the aft cavity for cargo.
The Sparrow is also equipped with twin 20mm rotary cannons (just fore of the cockpit) which are protected from re-entry conditions by retracting behind hull panels.
The craft is capable of re-entry and planetary landing, although requires a space elevator in order to escape orbit.
Notable design features include the directional antenna at the front, full 3D vernier RCS, and gold-tinted canopy.
It also features fully retractable landing gear and weapons (but I forgot to photograph these).
The original FrogPOD, this shuttle was the first reusable Space Transportation System the FrogNation used to reach lower orbit.

A nearly full complement of shuttle booms are in their lowered position over the holds on the M/V Indiana Harbor at Two Harbors.
Having fun with Krennic's shuttle at the moment. Such a beautiful shape, even with my scrappy building. It looks fantastic from any angle. Still a lot to play around with: the front mandible are really messy, I can see an error with the tail fin suddenly and the wing shape and length is really interesting: I think they need to be longer. I should mention that I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy. It will probably end up being my own variation of the design. Near the base there a small blind bag model that I'm comparing with. I want to taper the wings a bit more than the model; they look almost square but I want more something angular.
