Taken on a short walk in the area around Humlum fishing village north of Struer, Denmark - October 11, 2020.
BR1 pulls up to pull the empties from Valley Distributing as a tractor trailer leaves the loading bay and heads out to who knows where.
METX #156, an unrebuilt and unrepainted F40PH-2, alongside #174, a rebuilt and repainted F40PH-3, under the shed at Ogilvie om New Year's Eve.
You never know what you might see.
Hanging from the ceiling of the Laurel Cafe. This was used by the lumber workers for transportation on the railroad into the forest. Way back in the day. It is called a track bike.
All these Autobus tickets came from our holiday in Sorrento, Italy in 2004, great memories, we were staying in Capo di Sorrento which you can walk to from the Town (not for the faint hearted as it's a narrow busy road !) or take the little orange bus up the hill and swipe one of those bus tickets as you get on !.
In 1923, the Hendee Manufacturing Company changed its name to The Indian Motocycle Company "– no ‘r’ in ‘motocycle’ when the word was first used with the name Indian."
I saw this one in Jersey City, NJ in October.

Still wearing its factory delivered EMD paint, with the obsolete 'Dependable Transportation' slogan, DD35A No. 81 and DD35 No. 83B have been serviced and await assignment at Provo Yard on Oct. 7, 1977. At this point in time, two of the original 15 DD35A units wore factory paint, the other was No. 71.
That could do with some oil or chain lube.
It’s part of my bike ( no surprises there that i plumped for this !)
Thanks for stopping

When she chained the bike to the tree, it was in good condition. Now, a few hours later, all she has is a pile of junk.
American River Transportation Company's M/V Roberta Tabor and M/V Coral Dawn wait at Lambert's Landing, while a Union Pacific train waits for its turn at the signals outside of Union Depot in St. Paul.
These towboats sat here for more than a week due to locks 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 22 being flooded. Those locks have been closed for two weeks now and *hope* to reopen on the 24th. Meanwhile, river traffic has been piling up as the boats have no choice but to wait for their journeys to resume.
Landing in San Diego is difficult. SAN is listed as one of the worlds 10 most extreme / difficult airports to land at (depending on which list you find).
You have to fly over this hill (Balboa Park), then get the plane down before you run into the next hill (Point Loma).or before you run off the end of the short runway. So the runway is in this sort of valley, and it can be VERY difficult for pilots at times. It is a very difficult approach because of the steep angle required over the hill. There are no jumbo jets regularly flying in here like at other major airports ie LAX, JFK, DFW.
I love flying aircraft, I love aviation, so therefore, I posted this video. It is really amazing and incredible to get this kind of footage of a plane landing in San Diego.
I previously wrote about how exactly I got this video including some of the difficulty involved. But I decided to be more discreet, to edit out that part, to leave you guessing.
You can imagine the 'powers that be' discourage a lot of looky-loo's from hanging around the approach end of runways.
I suppose a fascination with the machines of transportation has long been a human thing. I remember when I was a kid, I would take my younger brothers by bicycle to the local Hicksville train station to see the mighty train engines up close. That was a regular part of our Sunday routine. First stop was church, then afterwards to the train station, last stop was Baskin-Robins for ice cream.
Church and ice cream make sense. But the train station? Why did we go there? I remember so vividly for some reason the elevated platforms of the Hicksville train station. For some reason it was just an interesting place to hang around for a kid.
I'd say it's about fascination with the machines of transportation.
Trains and Planes. Big fancy machines that move people from point A to point B. But fascinating for some reason in how they do it.
So fascinating I suppose, that I even managed to make a career out of the business. And what form of human transport could be more fascinating that a flight in a hot air balloon? Going only where the wind carries you? No steering, just riding with the wind! What a concept.
So to tie it all together, landing a balloon is difficult, extreme, and fascinating. And it all started out because my father made me take my brothers to church, and for entertainment afterwards we would go check out the trains. Go figure. Like this could really all be tied together, but perhaps.
I did not really have a key point to make with all this. It is just a sort essay on my thoughts as to why I got this video of the plane landing. I hope someone reads this and enjoys it. Maybe I'll get my brothers / sister / mom to read this since they come here sometimes, they might appreciate the references to life growing up and the Hicksville train station
