I happened to be driving by CHS looking for 2117 that was out cleaning switches and what should show up but SW-1 507, a former IC unit that usually works the north end of the complex. Nice code blue day.
Just as Doc was exiting our tiny grocery store in Glennallen - 5 big tour buses pulled in dumping out well over two hundred troops. They all made a wild dash for the doors, and at times were bottle necked. I don't see how our store could possibly have met the needs of all those hungry young people. It's a good thing Doc and I got there before they did.
Well away from its normal morning timing, here 60010 passes Miskin in the Vale of Glamorgan with 6B13 10:05 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco. Some recent bankside vegetation clearance has finally opened up this view once again.
I finished it today! Although, for a more accurate representation of its color, please see it here.
Perfect timing, because I still feel like crap and this way I can STILL get away with not showing my makeup-less face, as I have been doing since Tuesday ;-)
50 Random Facts About Me
#27: The reason I had to have my gallbladder removed is because I had so LITTLE fat in my diet, all the bile sat there and did not do its job breaking down fat and it turned into stones. I have always been on the average to a little chubby side, and have went up and down as I think all women have...but I was always convinced I was totally fat.
But I was so obsessed with looking 'perfect' and people in my own family would always give me a hard time to lose a few pounds so I made up my own diet which was basically no more then 500 calories a day and as little to no fat as possible. I ate rice and steamed veggies and not much else. Yes I am aware how unhealthy it was so I really don't want lectures on it. It has truly fucked up my body ever since. I lost too much weight very quickly and I was bony and gross for about a year and now besides losing my gallbladder my weight fluctuates very easily and my whole system is out of whack and may very well be forever.
It was drilled into my head by the media and by FAMILY that if I was not stick-thin I was not beautiful and would never get a husband or whatever and I believed it. I know it is not true but there is a part of me that still feels like I will never be thin enough or pretty enough or perfect enough.
(NOTE: these Random Facts are not to get reaction, but it was my choice on finding an interesting way to end out my Year 1 and maybe share some things about me that make me who I am. If you don't like it, don't read it. But I am not looking for sympathy or compliments or anything else. I chose on purpose to have some funny ones, some weird ones, etc...and I had reasons for it.)
Project: Cheap Film Camera Challenge with Expired Kodak Film.
Camera: Vivitar PZ3105 = Total Cost $5 CDN. (Unused)
Film: Expired 35mm Kodak Film from the 90's/early 2000's.
Such great timing for this project - In October 2022 The Eastman Kodak Co. announced on Twitter that it has hired more than 300 people over the past 18 months to handle the rising demand for 35mm film, and that it's aiming to hire even more workers.

55 009, Alycidon heads north at Marholm crossing as the only cloud for miles around keeps the train from getting to hot.
I believe this is the first time I was able to catch a train coming under the DeKalb coal tower at the exact time the setting sun was shining through one of the windows of the coal tower. There is only a minute or two of opportunity for this, so even though the sun was a little muted due to clouds, the timing was just perfect on this 8-29-17 date.

There are some photographic challenges unique to coastal environments which can ultimately make or break a photo. For a given composition to work, you not only need the right time of day, but the right wave from the right tide, which may only happen once a week...ideally with a half-decent sunset. I'm pleased to say this one worked out!
Also, a thank you to Joseph Rossbach and Kurt Budliger for serendipitously holding a workshop in the area. If I hadn't noticed a dozen tripods from their workshop the night before, I might have missed this location.

( NOT HORSESHOE BEND) An original location.
Timing with the tides was key to this image that I shot on Good Friday. The subtle but warm sunrise light filtered into the cave perfectly.

I wanted the launch in the middle of the gap but needed a faster shutter speed and missed it faffing with the camera.
The timing for this train makes it quite difficult to photo well on the WCML. However on 15th June 2021, 56096 comes of the single line section from Searchlight Jcn with the TWo 10:29 Pinnox Branch - Crewe Basford Hall.
The sun has just moved round and being so high removes a lot of the shadow.

I wanted to get the standard Daytons Bluff shot, so I walked down the bike trail and waited a few minutes. Soon a headlight appeared from the east, then another from the west, so I played "Frogger" and crossed Warner Road. Canadian Pacific SD70ACU #7001 leads the eastbound while GP20C-ECO #2256 leads the westbound.
On a cold, Winter day, the fog briefly lifts to reveal this beautiful scene, before closing-in again a few minutes later! --- Rannoch Moor, Highland (Jan 2012).
The WLMNTW (Willmar, MN to Northtown Yard) manifest heads east out of Waverly with a GP50 on point with a pair of SD40-2s behind it. Here they pass the iconic barn east of town. I got word this was coming east, so I decided to try this shot of the barn off Highway 12 for once. I came here from the east to shoot the train, and no sooner than 15 seconds after I arrived the train appeared. Probably some of the best timing I've had with a train.
I went to look at today's stats (so far), and came upon this number for that moment. In the last five minutes it jumped up to 1,254. As I said, this picture has perfect timing.
Dragon boat in Wellington Harbour, Wellington, New Zealand.
These folks just powered under the footbridge as I was crossing. Apart from the one blade at the rear, they seemed to have it together.

In a fluke crossing, 291U crosses W566 west of Blackheath. W566 is the normal Lithgow to Sydney service on a Sunday afternoon. 291U was an ATP testing run from Katoomba to Mt Victoria where the set would stable in the yard overnight.
This was the third and final weekend of ATP testing between Mt Victoria and Lithgow ahead of the final comissioning. Despite the V-Sets not being fitted with ATP, the comissioning of the system from Sydney to Lithgow will allow the safe operation of the New Intercity Fleet when the sets are permitted into revenue service.
