English-Electric Type 3 (later TOPS Class 37) D6747 heads 1E95, a westbound express passenger train, a little to the west of Brough station - c.07/1964.
Mr C (see comments below) states:
"In summer 1963 1E95 was 1815 Bridlington to Doncaster, calling Brough at 1914. The train also ran to the same timings in summer 1964, though I can't confirm whether the headcode was the same."

And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad timing that's all

After weeks of effort, I finally got the shot I was after... entire windmill within the sun! I'm pretty happy with this one!
NS C23 rolls through a perfectly timed sucker hole in a solid cloudy fall sky at W. Calvin Rd. near Stoney Point, PA on their way to Meadville. Just happened to stumble across these guys while driving through Greenville, and really lucked out with a little golden sun at just the right time.
Finished work today at 10:30 and oh what was due at 10:45... only 1001.

We returned from the big island of Hawaii last Friday, timing it perfectly. There were no cases of Covid-19 on the big island while we were there and our home town had only one presumptive as we returned.

It's Hawaiian name is ʻAlawī.
This Hawaiian honeycreeper is endemic to the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. It's IUCN classification is endangered since 1975. There are a total of 12,000 birds separated into three populations.
The Hawaiian honeycreepers are believed to have descended from a single common ancestor some 15 to 20 million years ago, though estimates range as low as 3.5 million years. While today only 17 species are known to persist in the Hawaiian islands (3 more may or may not be extinct), there were more than 50 species prior to Polynesian colonization of the archipelago (between 18 and 21 species have gone extinct since the discovery of the islands by westerners).

And, GOTTA go LARGE
Driving along down I-15 south towards St. George, Utah, I hoped to be able to get some good shots of the sunset. At the time I mentioned this out loud, there were thunderstorm clouds overhead, and so I didn't know if the sun would ever peek out. Luckily, we went to get some gas (and ended up not), but when turning back realized that the side road we were on offered the perfect view of a truly serendipitous moment for us; the sun had dropped below the ceiling of thunderheads and shot its last rays of the day through the gap between the clouds above and the mountains and horizon below. Lucky us.
When I'm running late, I usually blame my "tardying angel" for throwing obstacles in my way, but maybe should blame Murphy's Law from my Murphy bed for bed timing.
This is a spring from the retracted bed, for FlickrFriday's "Timing" and Macro Mondays' "Spiral" challenges.
The sweet spot for early morning bright light is so tight. It is a long drive to the ocean and if the timing is wrong you do not get much to show for it.
More from my back log.
Sometimes timing is everything. Like when the playful spooks are up to no good and it stops the ride right in front of the Hatbox Ghost. Actually Kyle was right in front of it but I still had a pretty good angle from the buggy next to him.
Instead choosing which photo to use, head on or in box, I decided on both.
Einstein predicted that time slows down the faster you travel and the time-dilation hypothesis has since been proven by flying atomic clocks on aircraft.
The three fastest human beings at the moment are NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques (pictured) and Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Kononenko who are orbiting Earth on the International Space Station at a speed of around 28 800 km/h.
They are travelling so fast that they will return home to Earth after their six-month spaceflight 0.007 seconds younger than if they had stayed with their feet on the ground.
But how do astronauts perceive time in space? Space Station crew report that time seems to speed up in microgravity so European researchers are trying to find out more by immersing astronauts in virtual reality and testing their reaction times.
A virtual reality headset is used to block external visual cues that could influence the results. The experiment focuses on how astronauts estimate time duration as well as their reaction times. They are asked gauge how long a visual target appears on screen. Their reaction times to these prompts are recorded to process speed and attention.
The astronauts run the experiment before flight, on the International Space Station and again when they land to compare results. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was the first test subject to take part in this experiment in 2018. Anne and David did a session in February in ESA’s Columbus laboratory.
Understanding how time is perceived in space is important as astronauts are often required to conduct precision work where timing is everything. This research in microgravity will help reveal clues as to what helps keep our brains ticking the seconds accurately.

After the L091, the four of us out there set up for a EB Intermodal. (Like L091), a WB Intermodal beats the EB to the crossing by about 5-10 seconds, which was good except for the one guy who stayed on the other side...
At first glance it appears that 6A60, the 08:32 Whatley - Oxford Banbury Road might be composed of both box wagons and hoppers behind 66541. In actual fact, the hoppers belong to 6C42, the 09:00 Theale - East Usk Yard empties hauled by 66604 (which can be seen to the left of the tree on the left side of the frame.
Taken at Uffington, the 2 trains have just crossed and 6C42 has only just cleared in time
I wasn't trying to get a butt shot. Just a nice group shot. But the dove had other ideas. Just as I pressed the shutter, the dove did this.

Single shot astro landscapes can require tricky timing, like catching the only passing vehicle at night while using a self timer, during the changing light of astronomical twilight! Tamron lens, processed in Lightroom with daylight white balance.
... and I just missed it.
For this weeks challenge, I have used 4 subjects that have previously been seen in other Flickr Friday challenges.. The reflected ceiling, the carpet, the camera and the clock... and rather than hide the camera and tripod... lets make it part of the image... it is after all 5 o'clock and I have other things to do...
This time I didn't miss the shot... I just had to wait for the wave to fill the empty space in the low part of the image. BTW, this was the only wave :)

I waited pretty well all year to get this shot, at this time of the year the sun is at its most southerly point (when rising off the eastern horizon) and it just lines up with this channel at Little Bay NSW.
