Since everyone loved this photo before, I'll upload it now. Gonna go take some photos later today when the sun goes down (because that's my favorite time!)
Thank you for those that voted for me, I won first place for the contest. I'm very excited! Cannot wait to get my new Flip Ultra HD in the mail. :)
The Canon T80 is Canon's first autofocus 35mm single-lens reflex camera. It was introduced in April 1985 and discontinued in June 1986 and is part of the T series of FD mount cameras.
The church of St Andrew's in the village of Chaddleworth in the heart of West Berkshire. There was a church here in Saxon times and some stones from then can apparently be found at the base of the tower. However, the building as we see it is mainly Norman with 13th century additions. The south door is a superb example of decorated Norman work.The village of Chaddleworth lies on the southern slopes of the Berkshire downs on the A338 which runs between Hungerford and Wantage.

Since I'm leaving for a week's vacation in Michigan tomorrow, I decided to quickly go through my photos from last summer's trip in an attempt to try to choose which lens to leave behind (I'm leaving the 70-200, by the way). Anyway, as I was flipping through I found this photo, which I processed and apparently never posted. I guess one advantage to having a slightly disorganized catalog is that from time to time you find something you mis-filed :)
About the photo: I was trying to capture a bird that was flying by, and -- as you can see -- I didn't have my settings dialed in for the shot I had hoped to get. Instead, I got this somewhat abstract capture, which I quite like. Call it a happy accident, I guess.
Time for me to finish packing.... Happy weekend to all!

Since our area is in full thaw and Spring is here I thought that I would do something a little different. I am doing two different effects on 1 image. Today is a moody effect where I desaturated the blue sky reflection on the water and Monday I will show the full reflection that was on the water when I shot this image. Have a great weekend all.

It’s been a while since I posted a real moc but here it is, this was built for the Dark Times Group which I highly suggest you check out if you haven’t already. I am happy to say that this is the moc I am most proud of so far! I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Story:
Arkus Noraga received word from one of his underworld intelligence sources of a possible store of Jedi artifacts on Batuu. The contact provided Noraga with the coordinates of a small insurgent cell located in the hills a short journey from Black Spire outpost. In hopes that the locals that formed the insurgent cell would have more specific information on the whereabouts of Jedi artifacts and the imperial occupation of Batuu, Noraga payed a visit to these rebels. Noraga smuggled with him highly valued weaponry through the imperial forces surrounding Batuu to bring the insurgent group in hopes it would encourage them to hand him the information he needed to have a more than successful business trip on Batuu.
Noraga landed 3 clicks south of the insurgent base and moved in on foot so as not to startle the rebels into any unfavorable decision making. The journey on foot took the smuggler through one of Batuu’s many jungles. As he journeyed north towards the rebel base he noticed several looming petrified grey trees, the ancient giants referred to by the locals as spires. The rest of the vegetation in the jungle consisted primarily of green trees that clung to the rocks and grew up wherever possible, almost encasing everything they could.
After a little under an hour of walking Noraga reached the rebel hideout, after lugging the crate of weaponry onto their platform he noticed that the platform appeared to be constructed from some clone wars era ship or machinery, it was old but sturdy and some of the components were still visible. The rebel base was set back in a rock face, it had the green foliage growing up around and threatening to swallow it, from above it wasn’t surprising that the base was so hidden.
The insurgents seemingly appeared on the platform from around the sides of the outpost, clearly having another secret entryway. Upon their seeing the weaponry and hearing the explanation the smuggler had to give they were more than accepting of his terms, they honestly seemed on board with anything that would cause the empire trouble.
Since last year Arriva Rail Italia (DB Group) is managing the Autozug services along the Brenner route from Hamburg and Düsseldorf to Verona Porta Nuova.
Here Rail Traction Company E189.914 is heading northbound near Mori pulling the AZ to Düsseldorf on May the 17th, 2017.
Been a while since I hooked up with my friend Dean so when he mentioned being in the area on Friday night I couldn't say no, especially once I'd seen the clear sky.
Fifth time for me at Stonehenge but Dean's first shoot there. Couldn't have asked for better conditions - although minus 6.5ºC is pushing it when it comes to a price worth paying.
With a waning gibbous moon shining bright from the left the sky was rendered a lovely deep blue colour and the shadows on most of the stones were filled in just right.

Since my birthday falls on Tuesday this year, my sons, Pete and Don arranged a surprise dinner cruise last Sauturday on the Wild Goose at Newport Harbor in Newprt Beach, California.
She is a 136 feet long ship used by the US Navy in 1943 as a minesweeper in World War II. In 1965, she was purchased and renamed the Wild Goose by legendary actor John Wayne and converted into a luxurious yacht that he owned for 16 years before he died.

This duck is a Lightling character; so here is hoping that since they only live on Earth about half an hour, that perhaps any radioactivity won't affect him in the future.

Since my PC hates me lately and doesn't want to let me make blogg posts I went out and make some real photos! I hope you all enjoy in the view of my city!
I am thankful for the patience and understanding the limits that my PC gives me.
Thank you!
Since today marks the 55th anniversary of the Burlington Northern merger, I figured today would be the perfect day to post today's find. BN 12395, a cupola caboose built in April 1981, sits at BNSF Saint Joseph Yard on a nice March afternoon. Being that this yard was once served by the BN, and before that the CB&Q, seeing this almost completely untouched caboose still wearing cascade green felt like I was stepping back in time. A true time capsule and reminder of better days being trackside.

Been a minute since I added anything new. But I was spending time with a couple friends while we waited to do a picture with a fourth friend and we were joking being fools and it just felt right to get my own picture.
When I start feeling bitter you remind me there are good people out there.

Let's have a very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year (A happy new year)
Filled with love and joy and happiness
And lots of good cheer
Same owner since 1990.
I decided to revisit this eye-watering survivor which I spotted before.
Sadly it now has no tax or MOT, which ran out a few months ago. I suspect the owner might have given up driving so there's just two ways about it I think, it's either going to be laid up here and is already going green or it's going to get scrapped soon I'm afraid.
I'm pretty sure the owner knows what they got, so I imagine they're attatched to it. I would really love to knock on the door and ask about it, but I'm afraid I'm not in a position to have a second car, especially given the fact that it would need a bit of work as it's surprisingly quite a used example with 160k miles on the clock, and check out the rust on the bodywork!
I really hope this will get saved by someone while it's still hanging on, as this was the last SGL left on the roads.

Since BTAS is like my favorite shit ever and the Mr. Incredible hair is perfect for Bruce Timm I made the duo behind the Animated Series.
Since this is something I have been struggling with lately, how do you stay inspired? How do you keep fresh ideas flowing?
Since I purchased a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8. macro lens I'm constantly discovering interesting subjects in the garden. I'm not 100% sure the left eye is pin sharp, but I'm pretty satisfied with my first shareable insect macro capture.
CN Tower celebrates St. Patrick's day, as I stood on a rooftop terrace freezing my b***s off with a can of Guinness.

Since we are in Sayre and it was such a neat location, we might as well stick around and go with a Lehigh Valley theme for a bit. Unfortunately, the previous post is probably the best shot I took, so we may be stuck with a lot of poor quality roster shots, etc. coming up. Sorry, but in those days I was heavily focused on roster shots with the prints and didn't know what I was doing yet with slide film and less than perfect weather.
The six unit Alco lashup from the train in the previous photostream post, has dropped it's train and is weaving it's way through yard tracks to get over to the engine terminal. It's "not much" but given what we have these days, I'd pay big bucks to be watching and listening to this operation once again. The LV had a railfan friendly footbridge right over the locomotive service area, which made these pictures possible.
Since Aurizon’s take over of the One Rail Australia business, it’s become increasingly uncommon to see two CLF/CLP class locomotives paired up without other motive power outside of local transfers and intrastate grain traffic, so seeing two CL’s on an Intermodal service was a welcomed change as CLP16/CLF6 run Aurizon’s 6MX1 from North Dynon to Spencer Jct via Port Pirie through the locality of Calomba on Saturday the 21st of December 2024.
After arrival in Port Pirie, this train will shunt to enable fellow Aurizon Intermodal service 6SP1 to arrive and add the In-Line Fuelling wagon, the Crew Car and the loading for the journey West to Forrestfield. The Streamliners and a sole flat wagon containing ILF tanks will then run to Spencer Jct and stable to form 4114S back to Adelaide with 7PS1’s loading on Monday.
Hired power from Railfirst Asset Management dominates this train on most services however reliability issues with the GL and CM classes has seen Aurizon’s locomotives featured more regularly in the month since I photographed this service last. It’s expected that further orders of ACD class units due to arrive during 2025 will enable the two GL class locomotives to be dehired while the CM’s will remain, further Aurizon locomotives from the Eastern Bulk business unit are rumoured to arrive during the new year for traffic such as MX/XM services.

Since 1702, Elfreth's Alley has been home to more than 3,000 people. Today thirty-two houses, built between 1728 and 1836, line the alley. They form one of the last intact early American streetscapes in the nation. Elfreth's Alley is a National Historic Landmark District, one of the first districts that celebrates the lives of everyday Americans.

Feel so empty inside
Since our last kiss goodbye
Picture you in my mind
And I can't seem to rationalize
The way we let it end
It just don't make no sense
This can't be happening
I need you back again
Everybody asking questions
Like we're some kind of obsession
For the millionth time asking I'm like
"Uhh let it rest"
Can i get a minute to breathe
They're like "Nope,
What's up with you and so-so?"
But in my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me
Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still
Somethin' somethin'
Oh this feeling it's too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss
Ooh you said you'd never leave me
So I'll keep believing
That eventually
We gon' kiss away the hurt
Do it like it were
And wake up how we used to be
Never let it go, get it right
Bring it back home, stay for life
Call it what you want, it's in your eyes
We gon' make it thru this i'll prove it
Somethin' bout our love
Will not fade away
Always everlasting and
In my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me
Aint gon' be our last kiss

Since my doggie kids can't buy me presents I had to make myself a cake ;o)
After seeing what dubbie did with hers, I decided to change things a little too. Inside the cake, instead of fresh strawberries, I used strawberry halves marinated with some sweet white wine, sugar and kirsch. I then added some simple syrup to the marinade and soaked the genoise cake layers with it.
Thanks for the inspiration, dubbie! It was yummy!
since my last visit Orleans - long ago - became much more attractive, including the new and very elegant strretcars/trams - one of the cities in France which rediscover this sytem of urban transport - we in Germany could learn a lot from it ...
Since our eldest guinea-pig died - about 2 weeks ago now - Scooter (our other guinea-pig) felt very lonely. So we decided to buy him a little friend. Yesterday the two met each other and became friends immediately!
Ollie is so cute!
Old machinery once used in the transport of granite from the quarries to their final destinations. This is located at the base of what was once the Granite Railway Incline in West Quincy, which was used to convey blocks of quarried granite down to street level to be transported to various destination points.
This year marks 150 years since the first railway line was opened in the Emmental region of Switzerland. To mark the anniversary, BLS, which operates the lines in the area, and several local associations organized a large-scale event on the weekend of May 17-18. Open days were held at several stations and depos in the region, and special trains arrived from different parts of the country for the programs. The transportation between the different open days was facilitated by nostalgic trains: everything from steam engines to electric traction trains could be encountered on the extensive railway network of the region.
One such train was the RBDe 4/4 I. The more than 50-year-old train was manufactured in 1974 and was considered a pioneer in its time as Switzerland's first swing-door railcar. A few years ago, enthusiastic volunteers, crowdfunding and donations saved it from scrapping, and since then we can see it on nostalgia tours of the association created for the train. The motor car no. 222 and its control car no. 922 ran between Burgdorf and Konolfingen every two hours.

Idén 150 éve, hogy átadták az első vasútvonalat a svájci Emmental régióban. A kerek évforduló alkalmából május 17-18 hétvégén a környékbeli vonalakat üzemeltető BLS és jópár környékbeli egyesület egy nagyszabású rendezvényt szervezett. Több állomáson és telephelyen nyílt napot tartottak a régióban, az ország különböző pontjairól pedig érdekesebbnél érdekesebb különvonatok érkeztek a programokhoz. A különböző nyílt napok közötti közlekedést nosztalgiavonatok segítették: a gőzösöktől a villany vontatású szerelvényekig mindennel lehetett találkozni a régió kiterjedt vasúthálózatán.
Egyik ilyen szerelvény volt a képen is látható RBDe 4/4 I-es. A több mint 50 éves szerelvényt 1974-ben gyártották és maga idejében úttörőnek számított Svájc első lengőajtós vasúti motorkocsijaként. Pár éve lelkes önkéntesek, közösségi finanszírozással és adományokkal megmentették a lángvágótól, azóta a szerelvénynek létrehozott egyesület nosztalgiamenetein találkozhatunk vele. A 222-es pályaszámú motorkocsi és 922-es vezérlőkocsija Burgdorf és Konolfingen közt közlekedett a hétvégén két óránként.
