A timeless scene that could have been seen at many colliery tips around the country during NCB days, with an 'Austerity' 0-6-0 saddle tank propelling hopper wagons with spoil for tipping. However, this was taken during a Bob Branch-organised photographic charter event on the Tanfield Railway on 18th May 1997, featuring Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns 'No.49' (Works No.7098 built in 1943) setting back to Terrace Junction at Marley Hill, prior to it undertaking a run-past.

There are a lot of Terrace at Gaopoxiang, but cause it's my first time visit there I just can't find any good spot to show the best of the terrace's beauty. At the end of day, I found this abandoned terrace I think all these terraces can make a nice leading line to the sunset (almost). but turns out its leading into nothing... The atmosphere was good though. I'm pretty happy with my Zeiss Distagon 21mm lens. It's produce good image, and thanks for the hight dynamic range of D810 sensor I don't even have a GND for this lens yet. Please leave a comment to help me improve my photography.

The Hungduan rice terraces are one of the four clusters that make up the UNESCO World Heritage designation for the Ifugao rice terrace landscapes of Luzon, Philippines. We were lucky to visit Hungduan on the day of a festival where many locals dressed up in traditional clothing.
Machu Picchu is located at the top of a very steep mountain, and the Incas were able to create much arable land with the system of terraces and canals. Their construction methods created such sturdy buildings that a large portion if the walls still stand today. Only the thatched roofs are missing. Roofs have been added to some of the structures to simulate the Incan times.
Machu Picchu is only 7,800 feet elevation. After you've been in Cusco and other areas of the Sacred Valley which range from 9,500 to 12,500 feet, it's a piece of cake ! We've been drinking plenty of the coca tea, which is not from the same plant as cocaine, so I am not forming any illegal habits :). I have found, however, that my habit of using the 2 second timer and holding my breath while taking 3-5 bracketed images makes me quite dizzy !
The mountain peak you see here is actually Huayna Picchu. You can hike to the top though only 400 per day are permitted to do that. I did not do that hike, though I went part way up the Inka trail to the Sun Gate just to be able to say that I hiked the Inca Trail !
We are on the move very early tomorrow from Peru to Ecuador, so my Internet time is very limited.
Cumberland Terrace is a neoclassical terrace on the eastern side of Regent's Park in the London Borough of Camden, completed in 1826. It was one of several terraces and crescents around Regent's Park designed by the British architect John Nash (1752–1835), under the patronage of the Prince Regent (later George IV). The terrace was to stand opposite the Prince's proposed palace in the park and was therefore of particular importance in the scheme. It was named after the Prince Regent's uncle the Duke of Cumberland (King George III's younger brother), later King of Hanover.
The Terrace was built by William Mountford Nurse, with James Thomson serving as resident architect, and was completed in 1826. It consists of three main blocks, linked by decorative arches with typical neoclassical style and grandeur. The central block includes a large sculptural pediment by J. G. Bubb above a long colonnade of Ionic columns.
Cumberland Terrace remains in residential use. Originally comprising 31 houses which were entirely reconstructed behind the original façade in the 1960s, some have been converted into flats but many houses are still separate family homes. The first resident, William Mountford Nurse himself, moved into the terrace in 1828; the building was not fully occupied until 1836.

With the weather looking poor over the weekend I decided to get in my second sunrise of the week. It was once again cloudless but this time the light was lovely and warm. I've included another image below that I would like your opinions on as I'm not sure if the sunlit splashes enhance or ruin the image. As always best view on black (press L).
