I have always appreciated my family; spending time at home with each one but more so now under present world conditions.

Those traveling to the Peninsula via Astoria and Portland have the opportunity to cross the spectacular Astoria-Megler Bridge, just 20 miles from the Long Beach Peninsula. Spanning the mighty Columbia River, the Astoria-Megler Bridge links the Oregon and Washington sections of the Pacific Coast Highway (U.S.101). The bridge stretches 4.1 miles from Astoria, Oregon, across the mouth of the Columbia River to Point Ellice, Washington, and contains the longest continuous three-span through-truss in the world.
When opened on Aug. 27, 1966, the bridge completed U.S. 101 as an unbroken link between the Canadian and Mexican borders.

Those of you who pay far too much more attention than I deserve may remember that I missed a post a few weeks ago. I had been working on an early Camaro build and at the 11th hour decided it wasn’t good enough.
Back to the drawing board then… The inspiration that got me back on track was a read-through of the official LEGO instructions for their Dodge Challenger - so many nice techniques, especially the rear pillars.
I set myself the challenge to build a Camaro 8-wide and to make it as strong as possible, whilst still as true to life as my previous work. With the exception of the roof and windscreen, this thing is bomb-proof and I really enjoyed using and adapting some of @lego ‘s techniques. It could easily be modified with a more solidly mounted studs-up windscreen, but I really do prefer the smoother transition of my solution.
The ZL1 was probably the ultimate Camaro, with a conservative 430hp (more like 500 in reality) as well as upgraded suspension and brakes. I love how understated the ZL1 looks on its body-coloured steel wheels with hubcaps, quite the q-car.

How women function with nails like that I’ll never know. Probably good for carefully exciting your boyfriend but anything else, nope….

I want to thank you all for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.

This is my freestyle, actually for the past week, but could not upload due to finals!
Once I finish my exhibition I'm planning just too many new shoots, totally different styles (even wedding!) and in all that I hope I find some time to make some short films -mainly for practice!
And I love the idea of Project 104. I'm thinking, creating and at the same time allowing myself to work on other stuff too. Which is great.
Also, I have no idea what will I do for Uni. Will I continue, will I stop?
One thing for certain, I will be applying for scholarships. Anything related to art.
In memory of those who have died in the line of serving our country so that we may all enjoy the freedom that we treasure so dearly ... THANK YOU!
The American bald eagle, known for its majestic strength, seemed like a perfect choice to post on this Memorial Day in the US. It's our national bird and one that has struggled through many challenges in its survival, yet remains strong and free.
I love the way in which this eagle sits quietly on the rocky beach shoreline keenly aware of everything going on around it, yet seemingly lost in a reflective moment. This shot was taken in Homer, AK in 2014.
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments along the way,

Those more educated to their history can speak, but I only know that these cars look super dope in the old paint. Two thumbs up to the preservationists who make stuff like this happen. T'was thoroughly enjoyed.
Its noticeable how society has split into two distinct groups - those wearing masks and those who are not. (Defiantly an age thing).
well I have others :-)

i really wanted to catch him in action on the ice, but he was taking his good ole time getting those ropes together….which is a good thing...safety first and all.
For those of you tired of the snow and cold of winter, it was nearly 100 degrees F when I took this along Hwy 150 in Upper Ojai, California, USA.
Just something to warm you up a bit.

Those special moments in life, when you can't suppress the joyous smile emerging from your inner while talking to a strange person reflecting brightness on you. <3

Those who love snorkeling and diving, visiting Tinabo island will be the great experience to do those activities. No wonder that this island is becoming one of the paradises for diving enthusiasts

This is one of those legendary places in railroading everyone should see at least once for themselves. It truly is breathtaking and hard to wrap your head around when you see it for the first time. I've photographed trains in many places where they are dwarfed by the environment. In all those other cases it is nature that humbles the train be it towering mountains, or mighty rivers, or the vastness of the desert southwest but not here. Here it is the hand of man that dwarfs the train in the form of Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct...the lagest concrete railroad bridge in the world.
Built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad between 1912 and 1915 as part of the railroad's Nicholson Cutoff project which as a new 39.6 mile alignment between Clarks Summit, PA and Hallstead, PA that shortened the line by 3.6 miles but more importantly reduced the gradient and 2400 degrees of curvature for the massive amount of freight traffic (much of which was anthracite coal) flooding the line. The cutoff also included the construction of a 3600 ft tunnel and the shorter but no less impressive Martins Creek Viaduct in a similar concrete arch style. The DL&W was a pioneer in concrete construction using the material for depots and towers and had built two smaller but concrete arch bridges over Paulins Kill and the Delaware River five years earlier as part of its Lackawanna cut off project.

This route remained important and busy even after the Lackawanna's 1960 merger with the Erie. However after Erie-Lackawanna was folded into Conrail in 1976 the big blue government railroad had little use for the line and in 1980 sold it to the Delaware and Hudson between Binghamton and Scranton so they could replace and abandon their challenging Penn Division over Ararat Summit. The D&H continued to operate the line which during the Guilford years was a link in the 752 mile long Freight Main Line reaching from Mattawamkeag, Maine to Kase Tower in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Guilford spun the D&H off into bankruptcy in 1988 and Canadian Pacific purchased the road in 1991 continuing to send up to a dozen trains a day over this route. Finally in 2015 CP sold all of the former D&H south of Mohawk Yard in Schenectady, NY to Norfolk Southern which continues to operate it a decade later.
These days little more than one giant train in each direction travels via this now single tracked route, one of which is seen here dwarfed by the massive bridge. Running in 1x1 DP mode is Norfolk Southern train H60, an Enola to East Binghamton manifest, seen sailing 240 ft above the valley of Tunkhannock Creek at about MP 653.2 on modern day NS' Sunbury Sub mainline.

As those of you who have followed my stream for a while you may remember that the last 2 Augusts I have had some great success at a brush pile. I finally checked the pile back on the 14th and sure enough it had a ton of birds. This fellow gave me two ops of more than a minute on an open perch. Not where you often catch them.
Calling for some rain here today but Toots and I both need to get out for a bit. Worst case scenario I will find some mushrooms. ;)) And of course Toots will get a good run.
