I have to get up real early for work and finish at 7 pm, then I have the critical mass ride to catch up with. It's a few hundred to thousands of cyclist who ride around the city once a month. It can be a bit grueling. But it's a lot of fun.
Then up again Saturday to work a long day again. Sunday I am also helping my best friend move at 8:30 am.
So I won't have time to comment, but will appreciate any I get.
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend everyone
Had to grab the first four books from my library to reread the stories. Now that I mostly know the plots, I will FINALLY be starting my Ranger's Apprentice series. And I've tagged a few people who seemed most interested/supportive.

Well, I'm alive but paralyzed By the sight of bloodshed fights Shoot them right between the eyes Can I let it go when I'm leaving? Weak inside but built to fight Living life through compromise Terriffied to prove me right Can I let it go when I'm leaving?
I set out to photograph a Great Gray Owl during a snowfall and was rewarded for my effort.
Great Gray Owl, Ottawa Canada
The Great Gray Owl is one of the largest owls in the world and is grey all over, peppered with darker and lighter markings. When perched, this bird appears very bulky because of its dense and fluffy plumage, long wings that extend past the body, relatively long tail and large head.
The Great Gray Owl is not known for its agility in flight, but hunting is not a challenge. Its preferred method is known as "still hunting", in which the bird sits and listens for its prey, then swoops down for the kill. It will fly rarely, except for short distances between perches, and it usually flies only a couple of metres (6 ft.) off the ground. Because of their excellent hearing, Great Gray Owls are able to hear prey such as small rodents moving beneath snow a foot deep (30 cm).

WyoJones standing next to a sign near the Visitor’s Center at Hakið in Þingvellir National Park, Iceland. Þingvellir, Iceland’s First National Park, stands out both for its natural beauty and its incredible role in the history of Iceland.
Icelandic history at Þingvellir dates from 930 AD when the ancient parliament of the Viking parliament was organized. Þingvellir translated literally means "Assembly Plains”. The Parliament, called The Alþing, met at Þingvellir from 930 to 1798 AD. even throughout the Icelandic Civil War in the 13th Century. The meetings were held in the shelter of the Almannagjá Gorge. In 1799 the Alþing stopped meeting due to Danish colonialism. The Alþing was reestablished in 1845 but convened in Reykjavik not Þingvellir and with limited powers given it by the King of Denmark. It met only sporadically. A independence movement started around the same time. People who favored independence from Denmark started meeting again at Þingvellir in 1848 to 1944. National Festivals were also ocassionally held here. It wasn’t until 1907 that the Alþing started meeting regularly again but still in Reykjavik. In 1928, just before the 1000 anniversary of the foundation of Alþingi in 1930, the parliament made Þingvellir a National Park. When Iceland declared its independence from Denmark in 1944, the declaration was made at Þingvellir.
While Þingvellir’s cultural and historical heritage draws many visitors, it’s geological history is also fascinating. The park sits on the Mid-Atlantic Rift with its west side on the North American tectonic plate, while east side lies on the Eurasian plate. In Iceland, the rift is above sea-level, and nowhere can you see the edges of both plates as clearly as in Þingvellir. The plates are bounded by a series of cliffs with a rift valley in between. This rift valley forms the main geologic feature in the park.

The Wright Brothers Monument sitting atop Big Kill Devil Hill is a testament to the towering achievements of Wilbur and Orville Wright who did what no one before them could manage: manned, powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight. To commemorate such an outstanding accomplishment a monument was erected at the site of their gliding experiments. This granite structure was designed by Alfred Easton Poor and Robert Perry Rodgers in 1928, 25 years after the first flight. Their architectural firm, Rodgers & Poor, won a contest to decide who would design the monument. Poor, who served as a pilot in the Navy in both World War I and World War II, was an already established architect with degrees from both Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. He also had the distinction of being the president of the National Design Center for 10 years. Rodgers, who also served in the Navy during World War I, received a degree from Harvard University as well as receiving a diploma from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
The design of the monument features an Art Deco style which highlights bold geometric shapes. A notable part of the monument is the inscription that reads, “In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright. Conceived by genius. Achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith.” The monument also features curved, wing-like designs on either side and a lit beacon at the top which functions similarly to a lighthouse. Prior to construction of the memorial’s Mission 66 era visitor center and museum, the inside of the monument acted as a contact station. Visitors could even ascend the very narrow stairs to the top and peer out 150 feet above sea level towards where the Wright brothers flew four flights on December 17th, 1903.
Construction of the monument itself was started in 1928 with Orville Wright in attendance at the laying of the cornerstone. A local organization called the Kill Devil Hills Memorial Association (now the First Flight Society) led the efforts to protect and preserve the site, eventually gaining national support. The monument was proposed by Representative Lindsay Warren of North Carolina and Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, who set out to convince President Coolidge and Congress of the importance of building the monument. Ultimately the funds were secured, and the “Kill Devil Hills Monument National Memorial” was established and managed by the War Department. To ensure that the monument wouldn’t be susceptible to sand erosion, Big Kill Devil Hill was sodded, and shrubs and other grasses were planted to stabilize it. Construction of the first bridges to the Outer Banks also started during this time in an effort to extend better access to the islands and to the memorial itself. In 1933 control of the monument was given to the National Park Service, and in 1953 it was officially renamed “Wright Brothers National Memorial.” The Memorial was dedicated on November 19th, 1932 with Orville again in attendance as well as prominent aviators and politicians of the time.Today the monument continues to sit atop big Kill Devil Hills and reigns over it as one of the highest points in the Outer Banks while continuing to honor the legacy of two brothers.

The Wright Brothers Monument was recorded in the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966 and as a National Historic Landmark on January 3, 2001.

On 29th September 2007, DB Class 212 No.212 084-8 gets a clear path and heads away from Grombach station for Meckesheim with a rake of 4-wheel wagons, as once used on the line for the seasonal sugar beet traffic. Vehicles parked on the road to the right prevented an ideal composition to include the full length of the train, forcing me to cut the end of the last wagon of the rake in order to get the locomotive in the correct position. Challenges present themselves from all quarters on these events, and this should have been hauled by a Class '50' 2-10-0 according to the "Über'n Buckel" ("Over the Hump") Plandampf brochure and timings sheet that I had.

Post privatisation but still in Network SouthEast livery Railtrack Plc owned Sandite/De-Icing unit 930 007 is seen waiting at Hastings to form sandite train 8Z42 13.20 to Tonbridge.
This departmental unit was one of the batch authorised for conversion at Selhurst Depot between 1977-82 from redundant 4-SUB (class 405) motor coaches. Set 007 was formed of ADB975592 (ex S10993 from set 4127) and ADB 975593 (ex S12659 from set 4604). The no.1 end ADB 975592 was the De-icing vehicle fitted with polythene lined steel tanks to prevent the tanks becoming live when de-icing fluid was being released onto the conductor rail. The no.2 coach ADB 975593 was initially empty on conversion but subsequently modified and fitted with hopper vats to carry Laponite solution (commonly known as Sandite). When laying sandite the train would be restricted to 20mph hence the class 8 headcode where as de-icer could be laid at 45mph. The units were fitted with extra shoe gear to create better contact in icy conditions and two shoes, one either side were fitted with air operated vibrating pins to dislodge any formed ice on the conductor rail rather than just frost or snow. Formed ice blobs could be a problem under overhanging structures like bridges where water could drip and freeze creating a lump on the conductor rail.

Managed to get my RGB on the last possible night before the moon was a problem. Saying that the moon still affected the images and had to restrict my subs to 3min. Because of this I didn’t get as much of the fainter detail as I wanted.
I had two terrible nights before this, not only was I battling poor seeing but Dec guiding was terrible. I found that the Dec axis was not running as freely as it should and was slightly sticking at certain points. I removed the Dec shaft and found there was pitting on one of the two spacer plates either side of one of the bearings at the clutch end. I clean these up as best I could with some wet and dry paper and re-grease the bearing. I’m pleased to say that it runs more Smoothly and seems to have sort that problem. There was one other unexpected problem, my Laptop went into hibernation mode even though it was connected to the mains, unplugging it and plugging it back in solved that. Due to this I only managed 50 subs on the final night but managed to salvage 14 from the previous two nights, so got there in the end.

Hey friends. :) Today is such a beautiful day. I started my day with The Beatles as usual, prepared breakfast, ate it and now I'm here drinking my last cup of coffee before studying. (boo) Even though I have a terrible headache I try my best to keep my mood up! I'm greatly motivated and happy these days. :) If I don't have positive thoughts I'll probably die of exhaustion, so I kinda force myself to be okay, haha.
So this is my mom, as some of you know, she is a summer person like me but it doesn't mean that she won't enjoy the snow and the great scenery it creates! :) Hope you like it. :) xx
ps. I'm genuinely happy that flickr gives 3 months extra pro for free! :D Awesome.
I’ve been away, I lived aside / On an ocean both far and wide / I know it was all a lie / It’s best to lie sometimes / Do you remember, were you around / Did you hear that awful sound / Oh no, you were nowhere to be found / When my great ship went down / Oh mother, mother, make my bed / I wanna sleep for a while / Outside the winds are blowing high / Will you stay by my side?

More photos of my adorable nieces on my blog... including some of Yohanna that I didn't share on flickr.
Kids grow up so fast! That's why you should always hire a photographer to register the passing of time ;-)
Dylan challenged me to make the Hell To Pay squad in their actual costumes, (which I wasn't gonna make believe it or not) and a challenge from Moose, as you all know, is like a challenge from god. You just go with it. Heh.

To round off a decent day of spots, this stunning Escort estate took pride of place tucked in the corner of this car park. The RS Turbo alloys set it off a treat in my opinion, with the original dealer plates and chrome detailing indicating that it's a GL. With 77k (could be 177k) on the clock as of September, I think there's plenty of life left in this yet.
The old class Pr1 heavy-duty commuter steam locomotive number 776 is the only survivor of its class. After the long career providing rides to busy passanger in the capital city and extensive career in museum train the golden era seems to be distant as it now stans as static display in the Finnish railway museum in Hyvinkää, however nice scene can be seen through the windows of the roundhouse doors.

I would like to thank everyone who take the time to view and comment on my photographs it is greatly appreciated and encouraging
I've been dismayed to hear that people are thinking of quitting due to the changes to the free membership....I would be very unhappy to see anyone go as it's the interaction between members which keeps it alive...otherwise it's just a load of pictures. I thank all those who take the trouble to comment and fave and also post so many inspiring images.
I've paid the sub for many years (and for a Yorkshireman that's something)....and I feel the benefits are worth it. So if you are thinking of leaving, please rethink...maybe even put your hand in your pocket!!
The vellum scroll contains 70 different strangers (& one dog) based off my original gesture sketches of people in public places. The process of bringing these disparate people gather as a conglomerate was a great challenge and one I want to continue.

So I guess this is technically an outtake from the concept I was actually going for; I'd been trying to burn the paper from the edges but that wasn't resulting in any sizable flames, so finally I started folding the pages in half and burning them from the middle, and they started making these sweet holes and turning into flamethrowers and I was like damn I gotta do a thing
Ugh I'm sorry I've been posting a lot less lately; I've been working basically every day for the last few weeks and by the time I get home it's like hegh where's my bed let me lay in it for a few (or twelve) hours. But I'll try my hardest to edit the other photo sometime tonight/tomorrow night maybe? It's a rough maybe. Either way it means more fire coming your way sometime soon, basically, so erbody wins. Especially my backyard which is still intact and not a pile of ashes and dead shit.
<3 u guiz, happy Thursday!
the sunset last night just after i came home from camp was magnificent..i could not capture the full beauty..but this is what i can share with you from my canon ixus50..i love to share the icelandic sunsets with you!
the thickness of the clouds and the colors are something that astonishes me..and to see it life..is a priviledge..this time of night..an how the clouds split the sky into totally different colors..
So I went to a "twisted" Alice in Wonderland themed Halloween party dressed as a dark/gothic version of Alice. This costume came with lacy glovettes as well, but I forgot to put them on and only realised it when I got to the party. Silly. And yes I am wearing the white stockings over regular sheer hose, because the dress is kind of short and I was feeling a bit self-conscious, lol.
WOMEN'S DAY, 2020.
