Time is very slow for those who wait.
Very fast for those who are scared,
very long for those who lament.
Very short for those who celebrate,
But for those who love time is eternal.
- William Shakespeare

Returning from a trip to the Highlands it was time for an afternoon break at Crawford to get a shot of that distinctive forestry plantation.
RTT showed a southbound Freightliner working but it turned out to be a light engine so I waited for this instead

My dad used to sing a song about apple blossom time - well, it's here! The apple blossoms tend to be some of the later bloomers - after the cherries, dogwoods, and about the same time as the plums. These just opened up yesterday. In our yard outside Beaverton, Oregon.

Went back to Fisherman's Terminal and decided to get a pic similar to one I took during the day. Felt like messing around with B&W for the first time and felt like it really fits ships at night.
After checking the waves from shore, he decided it was time to go.
Mt timing was spot-on, aim was a little off. Santa Cruz, California.
An image originally uploaded to Flickr in early 2011 (a few days after I joined) now rescanned / processed to yield a better result, including correcting the overly warm colour cast. Well, I figured it deserved a bit of TLC for its 50th Anniversary! The original version has been deleted.
The shot, taken in the summer of 1974, captures the eastern end of Healey Mills Marshalling Yard from the Storrs Hill Road overbridge. The yard was still a vibrant and busy operation with reasonably well-maintained tracks and a small locomotive depot (55C / HM). No surprise then that this was a well-visited spot by both local enthusiasts and those from further afield.
Having only just arrived I was pretty lucky to bag this rarity, a green livered class 40 unit 40039, heading east with an unfitted rake of empty 16T mineral wagons. Rare because there were very few class 40s still knocking around in the original British Railways green (most were now in rail-blue), but also because 40039 was one of the first members of the class to be withdrawn some 18 months later in January 1976. It lasted just over 16 years in service and never received the rail-blue paint job.
Strangely enough the Yard was opened as recently as 1963 but, with the closure of the Yorkshire collieries and a move to trainload rather than wagonload traffic, sorting work would come to an end in 1985. The slow death of other activity around the yard, including locomotive maintenance, finally saw some of the tracks removed and others abandoned to the encroachment of nature. In the last few years it has been a somewhat surreal experience to see the still-glowing ground signals shining amongst the trees and shrubbery guarding rusted and unusable tracks that hadn't seen any activity for years.
On a positive note however, in recent months the area has been gradually 'de-forested' and tracks once again exposed in readiness for lifting and partial replacement. Apparently the Yard might see some life again, this time as a train-holding facility for the Transpennine Route Upgrade project.

This boat is one of those which transport tourists to the beaches near Naoussa during the summer period. Now it's just waiting...
Hartwell, Buckinghamshire.
An image that I normally associate with the end of summer. I hope that is not the case as I'm off on my summer holiday tomorrow. I’m not sure if I will have internet access, so this might be my last upload for a couple of weeks.
Thanks again for all your support.
One of a number of the wild coyotes that frequent this area. They're very tolerant of their human friends like me who just let them be and make their living on the rodent population. (you can see some squirrel mounds in the background.) This one was so relaxed while my friend and I watched, it just settled down for a nap here. I smile at the "eye contact" description when an animal looks in your general direction, but this time I'm pretty sure it really is **eye contact**.
You really want to give this handsome animal a couple of clicks to max res!
And if you wanted an update on the sad plight of the mangy animal with the raccoon, it met its fate out on the nearby highway a week or so ago.
It was definitely a meal for this seagull as I captured this shot near Joe Patti's Seafood and Market in Pensacola, Florida. Here I used the Sony A9 with the Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS lens handheld. Be safe!

I went for a walk yesterday to a place I have wanted to see for a long long time, High cup Nick. Getting ever closer to 70 I’ve decide to tick off these places before I can’t. Of course regardless of age I still needed to put a little adventure into it so I decided to approach it from the valley and scramble up to the top. Here is a panorama image of 5 stitched photographs of this magnificat glaciated valley. The rock in the foreground is where I emerged after a stiff climb up the front, the last 50 feet was an easy scramble made a little harder with the rocks having ice and frost on.
