Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I miss spending time here and hope that one day when I am not working such long hours and commuting I will have more time and energy! I treasure all my contacts here and am forever grateful for all that I have learned from all of you!
In case anyone knows the bride or groom and thinks they might like the pictures (we have a few), the wedding was at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa at around 5pm on 24th March 2023.
We were looking at Parish Church on the way back from our walk and wandered over to where two people were looking down on the Sanctuary Church - the Churches are next door to each other, but are at different levels. They had been waiting 30 minutes for the bride to arrive, we were lucky as she arrived 5 minutes after we did :-)

Timing is everything ... so they say. While residents all up and down the Florida coast (and this time inland as well) and the southeastern seaboard were busy boarding up their homes, buying fresh batteries, braving the gas and grocery store lines ... in preparation for Hurricane Matthew, we were celebrating a sunrise up on top of the Colorado National Monument. Safe from the expected 140+ mph winds, we waited patiently for the sun to rise in the crisp fall air. It was beautiful ... though the clouds that complete a perfect sunrise were missing in action. Didn't matter though. Views like from the summit of the monument are hard to beat. We were even treated to an encounter with a mama bighorn sheep and her growing lamb. It was magical.
Some say that we "picked" the perfect time to get away. To that, I say three things. First of all, this timing was purely coincidental. Secondly, a HUGE thanks to my neighbors who helped board up our home and secure our belongings in our absence. Lastly, I honestly can say that it's SO much harder to watch a hurricane approaching your home from afar. I felt so powerless to help ... so conflicted as to stay in Colorado or try to rush home ... so concerned for my family and friends. Coincidentally, I was away for Hurricane Andrew's assault on south Florida as well. Those images played over and over in my mind as I searched for the latest information on the storm in a state about 2000 miles away. My mind and thoughts felt like they had been right through the eye of the hurricane ... or at least a dizzying roller coaster. Ups, downs, and all-arounds, for sure. Colorado was a gracious host. We were able to tour a bit of Denver, Grand Junction, Aspen/Snowmass, Ouray, Ridgeway, and Telluride ... and even got to visit Rocky Mountain NP ... courtesy of cancelled flights back home. All in all, we had a great time, though an emotional roller coaster. Thanks to everyone who reached out to be sure we were OK.
Will be trying to catch up on images in contact's photo streams shortly. In the meanwhile, be sure to check out my lastest blog post ... featuring another harrowing experience encountered ... of the grouse kind. :-) You can click the link www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com
Happy Wednesday!!

Timing is everything they say. A “tip run” with a car load of rubbish to the local tip/recycling centre at Beeston was required so a quick check on the internet to see what was about I timed the run to enable a quick visit to Boots bridge, Beeston for two eastbound freights, the first being 60092 working 6E54, 10:34 Kingsbury – Humber empty tanks 30th October 2019.
Locomotive History
60092 was built at the Brush Falcon works, Loughborough in 1991 and was officially accepted by British Rail in January 1992, allocated to Toton MPD for coal duties. It was stored for the first time in September 2004 and was in and out of store five times over the next four years until stored in December 2008. It would spend most of the next four and a half years stored in the closed Crewe DMD until in the summer of 2012 it entered Toton for a General overhaul. It emerged in October 2012 and following a couple of test runs and a repaint into DB Schenker red was reinstated to traffic on the 29th October 2012.
Timing is everything. I was very keen to see a green sea turtle (Kona) in Hawaii. They often frequent Laniakea on the north shore of Oahu. On our last day up north, we drove past and I noticed a small crowd gathered on the shore. What else could it be! She was still in the water when we arrived so we were able to watch her come to shore. All the turtles are named and have a recorded history. (see below) Long but fascinating. A very special turtle.
Hiwahiwa means 'precious:.
She is 45 years old.has a fissure on the top of her shell resulting from an old injury, most likely from a collision with a jet ski or boat. It was mended by a Vet with an acrylic dental patch.
Hiwahiwa surprised everyone when she was seen nesting and laying eggs 500 miles northwest of Laniakea at the French Frigate Shoals. L-2 migrated again during the 2010 nesting season. After 32 days at sea, Hiwahiwa arrived at the French Frigate Shoals and laid her first clutch of eggs on June 10th. Data harvested from L-2's TDR ( Time Depth Recorder) reveals she made a record-breaking open ocean night dive of 570 feet (174 meters , the deepest in Hawaiian green sea turtle history. Even though she was not on the ocean floor, scientists theorize Hiwahiwa may have been feeding on mid level pyrosomes. Her last satellite signal was received on August 5th and hope faded that she would return to her feeding zone on Oahu. On September 6th, L-2 hauled onto the sand at Laniakea Beach, her satellite antennae broken off. Hiwahiwa basks year round at Laniakea.
driving up the coastal road in late twilight — that one light turned out to be the snowplow on his way back into town. good timing, to drive over the last pass on a freshly cleared road! particularly since the wind was already starting to blow drifts across it again...
I have been living in Sydney for the past 4 years but I never wanted to take a picture of Opera house in a usual way. We have plenty of them in the internet. But this is something special to me.
Yes, this is a perfect timing for me to be there at this location. On a cloudy day, I thought of taking some Black and White shots. But the Nature has given me a sarcastic smile :)

Lucked into timing this shot just right to have the gap in the alley filled not only with a person walking, but also a car driving through.

I didn’t set this up. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

With a bit of patience and timing, the natural world provides some stunning photographic opportunities - like this giraffe perfectly placed against a yellow moon.
Setting up for a shot of the moon and this plane landing at the Van Nuys Airport got in the way. (Looking for more interruptions like this.)

Replaced by the Northrop F-5 Tiger, even those are now in the twilight of their days.

After heading on over to CP Valley for an enticing JR1 yard job with an SD45 duo and OI16 heading through, a headlight comes into view. B115 which was let out of Teaneck an hour ago glides through. Right place, right time.
Theme: Timing
Timing is everything. Being at the right place at the right time, was my luck this particular day when the Rainbow was crystal clear. I aligned myself to the correct position to make it look as if the rainbow were coming from the chimney.
The weather was glorious during a summer holiday taken on the Isle of Wight during July 1990. Seen here en route to Alum Bay is Southern Vectis 510 (VOD 595S) . This Bristol VRT/SL3/6LXB / ECW was new in July 1978 as Western National 575. It later served for Devon General before joining the Vectis fleet in 1987.
