"I strive to be my best every time I go out, and that's very stressful. After a while of doing that... it's nice to just take a deep breath, sit on a tractor."
-- Bill Goldberg (American retired professional wrestler known simply as Goldberg and football player)
The Pink Tractor is located at Patti's 1880's Settlement in Grand Rivers, Kentucky and carries unique & trendy clothing and accesories for girls of all ages. This bright, hot pink Massey Ferguson tractor sits in front of the shop which makes it hard to miss.

A short wander through the Rose Garden gives one a view and aroma like this - taken at Polsden Lacy . A snippet from the NT write up on the Rose Garden ---
The Edwardian walled Rose Garden boasts well over 2,000 roses, including over more than 100 rambling roses on the pergola. The rest of the roses in the centre beds are made up of around 35 different varieties of hybrid tea, floribunda and hybrid musk types, all in bloom from June late May to late August and beyond. We’ve been working to improve the soil health in recent months and also replaced aging and struggling rose plants in several beds, as we strive to turn Polesden’s rose garden into a true showstopper. We also have plans to replace the pergola, which is starting to show its age. We will do this in phases, likely in the Autumn across several years, so as to protect the roses and ensure the pergola continues to support its glorious display for our visitors to enjoy.
Located in an overgrown graveyard in Dunmore, County Galway, Ireland, this elaborate grave marker includes every possible nationalist symbol of Ireland -- shamrocks, harps, round towers -- all surrounding the haunting visage of a woman in cuffs and chains. From the inscription, you'd think he died manning the ramparts in some forgotten battle, but in fact he caught a cold on the way home from a GAA meeting which turned into pneumonia, leading to his death.

Irish Patriot
Who Died March 9 1895 Aged 35 Years

What is this black figure doing by the frozen canal?
Is he the Pyrphoros Titan,the Fire-Bringer,who holds the fire in his hand?
It must be Προμηθεύς (Prometheus) ,a Titan of Greek mythology,who stole fire from the Gods on Mount Olympus & brought it as a gift to mortals,marking the birth of human Culture & the beginning of Civilization with a rebellion against the Unjust Power in order to overthrow the system ...
His name means "Forethinker,a really meaningful Theophoric name.He became a figure who represented human striving and the quest for scientific knowledge.
** What we don’t understand, we ascribe to myth ... **
" Apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there ? "

"An owl feels spiritual by nature. It's flight silent, movement swift and character wise. This piece is meant to reflect the balance we strive to attain in life. Reflecting a perception of depth through chromatic colour, also representing a spectrum of who we are as people integrated together from all around the globe. An inclusive atmosphere for each of us, gathering knowledge from each others culture and experiences. Turned into generational wisdom."

In Striving for More, One Can’t Put Others Down
It’s your race to strive, struggle and win
The blessings of this life are yours; do not settle for less!
They are a gift from above and for others around
Be sure to share as you bring it to life
After all, we’re all on this same planet together!
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning while walking the Endless Wall Trail in New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. This setting is looking to the northeast from Diamond Point Overlook. With this image, I focused on the look across that ‘endless wall,’ capturing some of the cliff face present along with the forest of trees that seemingly went on to a distant horizon. By metering for the slightly brighter areas in the tree leaves, I felt I was able to capture enough of the highlights, while later being able to pull out the more shadowed areas without a color cast. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 4. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization, Foliage and Skylight filter for that last effect on the image captured.
He always seems that real life is about to begin but every time there was a ordeal to overcome an obstacle in the way must be passed, the work to be done, religion must be paid, and time must be spent, so life begins, but I finally came to understand that these things were Life is

Han ser alltid ut til at virkeligheten er i ferd med å begynne, men hver gang det var en prøvelse for å overvinne et hinder i veien må passeres, arbeidet som skal gjøres, religion må betales, og tid må tilbringes, så livet begynner, men livet begynner, men Jeg kom endelig til å forstå at disse tingene var livet er

“All strive for victory. But not all understand what it truly is. To a soldier or pilot on the line, victory is surviving the current battle. To a politician, victory is an advantage one can bring to a bargaining table. To a warrior, victory is driving an enemy from the field of battle, or bringing him to surrender.
Sometimes victory is greater than the warrior could ever hope for. Sometimes it is more than he is able to hear.”
- Thrawn
It all started almost two months ago with an idea. Make something for May 4th (I’m late, I know, but cut me some slack). Me and Jan, the Creator are both big fans of the Imperial architecture seen in the Star Wars universe and wanted to do something large in size. After some hours of researching, looking through many concept arts and designs, the plans were put together and we set out to build our creations.
~ Platform ~
The starting point for me here was the platform on which the custom Tie Fighter (designed by Jerac) and many minifigs are standing on. One piece of concept art / Imperial structure we found was a large landing platform on Kashyyyk. To get the shaping right, a combination of corner slopes, hinges and many larger tiles were used to get the look. Since the surrounding area was to be terrain, I went with Dark Orange as the color for the ground. I purposefully left this area more flat and basic to leave attention towards the base. I also wanted a small area below the platform to store speeders which also helps break up the bottom area, giving it some action.
~ Base ~
The base itself was built in two main sections and some medium sized segments at the top. Walls here uses various tiles in LBG and DBG to form this Imperial architecture design. Was quite a challenge later on with the lack of tiles in certain areas so I had to get creative in how I would spread them. Instead of just using regular tile, I also made use of sandwhich tiles, corner faucet cut tiles and some snot to built up this area. Lots of other elements were used for detail including some DBG frames that I attached to tiles to create this column in the middle wall. The key thing while working on this was to keep a balance of simplicity and detail, something that can get lost while working on a larger creation. As we get to the top, you can see more detail and extras, like crates and dishes that populate this area.
~ Minifigs ~
The last thing I want to discuss is the minifigs used throughout the build. The Imperial selection of officers, troopers and crew is very extensive so once again, keeping a balance was important. Me and Jan wanted to include characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn and Moff Tarkin to give these creations a bit more purpose. Perhaps they’re here to inspect something new, here for a strategy session, the point is these two give a presence, even with being two small minifigs. The Death Troopers additionally work well to complement those, giving you once again the feeling that there are things at work here.
Thank you to CTR Bricks for helping edit the picture.

PIDE UN DESEO Y...SOPLA!!
"A Wish" (Un deseo), Stevie Wonder. Y...a bailar para empezar con alegría el año!!!

Come my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world
for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset.
And though we are not now that strenght which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will.
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Lord Tenysson (1809-1892)
...
Venid amigos
No es tarde
para buscar un mundo nuevo,
pues sueño con navegar
más allá del crepúsculo
y, aunque no tengamos
la fuerza que antaño
movió cielos y tierra,
Somos lo que somos:
un mismo temple
de corazones heróicos
debilitados por el tiempo, pero
voluntariosos para luchar,
buscar y encontrar
y no rendirse.
Alfred Lord Tenysson
Que vuestros deseos se cumplan en 2011!!!
Pero sólo si refiere al amor, amistad, trabajo, encuentros...
A tree, struggling for life by the look of it, adds a bit of contrast to the Mountains of the Coulin Forest as seen from the road through Glen Torridon, the northern face of Maol Chean-dearg prominent in the middle of the picture.

Always striving to go places not many others have is one of my constant goals when it comes to railfanning. I don't see any fun in going to the places that hundreds of unoriginal, boring sheep have milked dry to oblivion such as the iron range, LS&I, Trona, or the Columbia River gorge. On my recent fully self-funded trip (springowski could never), I wanted to explore the deep south and its plethora of rarely documented shortlines, as well as some actually enjoyable class 1 action that the two eastern roads can't provide. Among my main targets was Alabama and Gulf Coast and their newly acquired fleet of GEs. One of those, ex Conrail C40-8W #4055, recieved G&W's 125th anniversary heritage paint. I thankfully timed my trip while it was being used on the turn job from Columbus, Mississippi to Boligee, Alabama and back. Here it is paired with a Columbus and Greenville SD40 as they build their train to head south. This is seriously one of the best looking engines I've ever seen. Hats off to G&W for doing this shit. The train would wait a few minutes as Golden Traingle would depart in front of them, and they themselves would make Watco's Alabama Southern wait at their diamond in the southern part of town. Columbus is an extremely underrated little railroad hotspot with 4 different shortlines and 2 class 1s running locals to town. More deep south content is to come.
I generally strive to provide a plausible scenario behind each of my fictional images, but every once in a while it's refreshing to go with the unlikely or downright bizarre.
Most of us like to bring back souvenirs of our travels abroad and it seems that the boys from Scarlet Band have gone that extra mile. Undoubtedly disappointed that the company had lost the Durham City Park & Ride contract (but gained work elsewhere), they set about a Swift response just as the incoming operator felt that it would be King Long after they had gone. Here we see former Maltese AEC Swift DBY 389 looking very smart in Scarlet Band's traditional colours whilst the following King Long tries to look comfortable in unfamiliar colours. I suspect that the average user wouldn't blink an eyelid at the Swift, which wears its 50-odd years very well.
This image was prepared before the anouncement of Arriva's successful bid for the Maltese bus franchise (27-Nov-09).
