In the age of bulk buy and corporate over-packaging, I tend to enjoy street-food experiences on annual trips to the motherland. I'm particularly fond of offerings from roaming roasted peanut & lentil sellers in Mumbai – equipped for the micro-dose single-serve. Goods are freshly roasted and they'll happily customise the additional spices to your liking. Plus it's all wrapped up in the recycled goodness of yesterday's news. Simplicity reigns.

Eh, managed to get hold of a laptop, still not gonna be too active, just throwing something out there
Though you can't really see him, Don was leading the pack down this path in the park in Bristol, Tennessee. I was lagging behind, as always, finding much to shoot along the way. Joan and Jim were ahead of me, and for some reason, we all seemed to be going in single file.
If I lived there, I'm sure this area would be someplace I'd frequent as much as I've gone to places like Reed Canal Park in the Daytona area. It's large, and offers a lot. I managed to capture a Great Blue Heron there, but it seemed somehow out of place to me, as so many of them live in Florida. No Egrets, though, and I think I'd miss them.
Tennessee requires a lot of things Florida doesn't, like learning to navigate hills, even during winter weather with icy roads. That would prove a challenge for me. As we were driving about, even Jim, who has lived in Bristol most of his life, backed into a ditch at one point! Fortunately, it wasn't a very deep one! There's definitely a learning curve.
The weather was idyllic for me. I hate the heat anymore, and it was in the 50's and 60's at night, while it's easily 20 degrees warmer here! Days were just about perfect. People went out with sweaters and jackets, but I hardly needed one and was loving the coolness!
Soon the woods will be turning colors as Autumn sets in. I'm glad I went while it was still green and lush. I will cherish these memories for years to come!
A later generation of Rail-link vehicle for Strathclyde PTE is represented by KSU 838P, a Leyland AN68/1R new in 1975 to Greater Glasgow PTE as LA962. Shorn of its roof due to an incident I have no record of, it entered a second life as SA3, a fleetnumber which suggests that there were at least two other single-deck Atlanteans in the fleet.
I think this was visually quite a successful conversion.
SRG was the one who first brought to my attention the fact that the silver underframe and truck sets would get grimy and ruin the look of the BNSF locomotive paint schemes.
Well, here we have SD70Ace #9144 leading GE toaster #4338 and 90 cars on the Northtown-to-Belt Railway Chicago merchandise train eastbound about to pass by our home in Maiden Rock, WI.
This Ace is very clean and the silver trucks and underframe really stand out simply because they're not dirty and/or grimy like the trucks on the GE trailing unit.
QJ 7007 approaching Lindong with a westbound freight on the Jitong Railway. Although this line is best known for its double-headed trains, the Chabuga to Lindong section with its easier grades would regularly see single locomotives on some workings.

I joined a photo forum shortly after graduating high school in 2005, soon to follow were friendly people who have helped me become a better photographer. While I have known Andy for the better part of the last decade of my life through countless online forums (Facebook/Myspace mainly), I've never had the pleasure of meeting him face to face. There was a slight chance back in April when I went to St. Louis for my birthday, that he and I would be able to meet up and grab a beer. Unfortunately, keeping busy on the trip I didn't have the time to meet him. As luck may have it, Andy and his girlfriend were taking a vacation from life and had a two day stay scheduled for Madison. We exchanged phone calls and text messages for the better part of the week leading up to his trip.
While out photographing with my friend John, a text came in from Andy informing me that they had arrived safely and were relaxing for a bit. I had my hopes to meet up right away, but I am sure after a five hour drive I would be rather tired too. A few hours passed, and then Andy texted me his location; a local bar not far from my apartment. As an avid beer connoisseur, it was the right choice; funny fact is that when Andy and I first met I didn't drink at all. Times change, people grow older, but some friendships last the test of time. So I asked John if he would like to meet a stranger, and he did so we strolled across the isthmus and walked into the bar.
Even though I knew what he looked like, I was nervous to meet him; slightly for the fear of the unknown. I sheepishly texted "where are you seated?" but once I entered the bar, I saw him sitting with his large beard and black STL baseball cap. As he stood up, he was taller then eye with a beard as big as my face; an outstretched hand we shook firmly finally meeting in person. The skies outside were darkening fast, but no worries when in the company of good people and a good beer; conversation is the only thing we needed.
An active film shooter (with over 150 35mm camera's and counting) Andy is as hardcore as they come. In his place he has a full sized refrigerator dedicated just to the storing of film. A crack of thunder interrupted our conversation, and I quickly ventured out of the bar to snap photos of the torrential downpour happening outside. Upon returning inside, drenched with camera in hand; a few patrons gave me puzzled looks BUT Andy informed me that he "wished to have the drive" that I do in taking photos everyday. He keeps busy taking care of his father, which is in reality his full time job. John left us when the rain let up; leaving Andy, Ann, and myself to converse among ourselves.
We enjoyed dinner with a local flavor, and another choice beer. Upon walking Andy and Ann back to the bed and breakfast they were staying at, I told Andy it was time for his photo for the 100 strangers group he laughed and told me I'd have to do it "paparazzi" style and thus wouldn't directly pose for a simple shot. I think a shot of Andy in action really does justice to the art that he creates, as I've admired his work for so long it was almost like seeing a painter create a masterpiece. Although with Andy, I was unable to see it as he was shooting film! The rain returned and we rushed through the sidewalks, hoping not to damage gear in tow.
Upon parting ways after an eventful second day of just hanging out, we agreed to meet up again. Next time in St. Louis, so I can meet a few other fellow photographers I've had the pleasure of knowing the last so many years of my life. Until that happens, Andy is a contact in my phone and a good friend and mentor as any I've ever had.

I can hardly believe it myself, but I finished the Single girl quilt yesterday evening. I chose an orange binding first, didn't like it, and removed it to add a simple white binding. Still not sure about this one either, but I'm not doing it a third time. The back is plain white because I didn't want a fabric that would shine through the top. I hand-quilted it with orange coton perlé and am glad I did, because without it, the quilt would be a bit too white to my taste.

Stirling Single No.1 at the original LNER York Railway Museum, in the 1960s, with Stroudley 0-4-2 completely covered in white primer, in the rear..
No 1 had originally been preserved by the Great Northern Railway in 1910, and was later housed at the museum here for many years. It was returned to steam in the late 70s and early 80s, but is now a static exhibit again.
The tender that the loco was coupled to when first preserved - and for many years after that - was actually an older, smaller, Sturrock tender, as seen here.. An example of the much larger 'correct' tender was put aside in the 1960s, and was finally restored to the loco in 2014.
This museum closed down in 1973, and the new National Railway Museum - in the old roundhouse and steam loco depot not far from here - opened in 1975. Both locos seen here are now at the NRM.
Restored from a grainy blue-colour-shifted original..

I love poppies and enjoyed seeing this single red Asian poppy in a garden in Pierrefonds, near Montreal, QC
Halberstädter Verkehrs-GmbH (HVG): the city of Halberstadt (41,000 inhabitants), in the federal state of Sachsen-Anhalt, has one of the smallest tram networks in Germany: 11.7 km of metric gauge tracks electrified at 600 V DC, with two routes (1 and 2). The service is provided by nine trams: four old Esslingen GT4, built between 1960 and 1966 and acquired second hand (numbers 156, 164, 167 and 168), and five modern low floor Leoliner NGTW6-H, built by HeiterBlick GmbH between 2006 and 2007 (numbers 1 to 5).
Here we see one of the Leoliner trams starting a service on line 1 from Friedhof towards Hauptbahnhof, leaving the HVG workshops. The terminal of line 1 in Friedhof involves a curious maneuver: this line ends in a single track siding; since the Leoliner trams are uni-directional, in order to leave in the opposite direction, they must reverse to enter the premises of the company's workshops, and then change the direction again to begin their journey.
Bures station, Bures Hamlet, Essex
Bures, the main village and named Bures St Mary in full, is on the other side of the Stour, and thus in Suffolk. But the station is a few hundred yards on the other side of the river in Bures Hamlet, and thus in Essex. There is also Mount Bures for the outer suburbs. All in all, a lovely village.
The station is one of two stops between Sudbury and Marks Tey on the branch line which leads down to the main line running from Norwich and Ipswich towards London. The other is the atmospheric Chappel And Wakes Colne station.
Before 1967, this was the Colchester to Cambridge line, with a junction at Long Melford that would take you on to Thetford, Swaffham and Fakenham. Dual, in those days of course. All gone now.
