it's happening, the leaves are turning and fall is almost here.
i welcome the warm colors.
I'm ready for this season.
when i moved to upstate new york, i left my beloved southern magnolias behind, but... they have been replaced by these beautiful japanese magnolias. the tree behind our house was literally covered by hundreds of these, and more than a few of them made their way into our home.
this photograph is dedicated to my wonderful friend and photographer, erin. many of you know her work already, but if you don't be sure to check her out.
sometimes in life we have to decide:
shall we proceed with our life just as it is? everything is fine, you're happy most of the time but still sometimes you have the feeling to miss something.
or shall we turn our life upside down? you don't know what will happen it could go completely wrong and you will be unhappy or you could make new experience and reach a level of happiness you didn't even know is possible or at least can't remember.
But if you only think about it and never do someting, you actually decide for the first alternative. But is that the right decision?

They are not broken by what came before, nor afraid of it. They are stronger—changed, yes—but never hardened, because malice was never part of their language. Sixteen years after first finding one another, something quiet and undeniable drew them back together, something rare and familiar that had been waiting patiently all along. Every moment, every detour, every shared and separate adventure finally converged into this knowing: the time was right. The backward glances have fallen away; there is no need to look behind them now. Their journey is built on love—always love—and on the hope that those left in the past can one day see that they, too, were part of what this became

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout.
The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II* listed. The station's celebrity owes much to numerous cultural appearances, which include a shot in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help!, appearing in the video for the 1982 hit single "Another Thing Comin´" by heavy metal band Judas Priest and being used in the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, as well as a cameo appearance in Take That's music video "The Flood."
In addition, a photograph of the plant's control room was used as cover art on Hawkwind's 1977 album Quark, Strangeness and Charm.
The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. However, the building's condition has been described as "very bad" by English Heritage and is included in its Buildings at Risk Register. In 2004, while the redevelopment project was stalled, and the building remained derelict, the site was listed on the 2004 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund. The combination of an existing debt burden of some £750 million, the need to make a £200 million contribution to a proposed extension to the London Underground, requirements to fund conservation of the derelict power station shell and the presence of a waste transfer station and cement plant on the river frontage make a commercial development of the site a significant challenge. In December 2011, the latest plans to develop the site collapsed with the debt called in by the creditors. In February 2012, the site was placed on sale on the open property market
through commercial estate agent Knight Frank. It has received interest from a variety of overseas consortia, most seeking to demolish or part-demolish the structure.
Built in the early 1930s, this iconic structure, with its four distinctive chimneys, was created to meet the energy demands of the new age. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott – the man who also designed what is now Tate Modern and brought the red telephone box to London – was hired by the London Power Company to create this first of a new generation of ‘superstations’, with the building beginning to produce power for the capital in 1933.
With dimensions of 160 m x 170 m, the roof of the boiler house 50 m tall, and its four 103 m tall, tapering chimneys, it is a truly massive structure. The building in fact comprised two stations – Battersea ‘A’ and Battersea ‘B’, which were conjoined when the identical B section was completed in the 1950s, and it was the world’s most thermally efficient building when it opened.
But Battersea Power Station was – and is – so much more besides. Gilbert Scott lifted it from the prosaic into the sublime by incorporating lavish touches such as the building’s majestic bronze doors and impressive wrought-iron staircase leading to the art deco control room. Here, amongst the controls which are still in situ today, those in charge of London’s electricity supply could enjoy the marble-lined walls and polished parquet flooring. Down in the turbine hall below, meanwhile, the station’s giant walls of polished marble would later prompt observers to liken the building to a Greek temple devoted to energy.
Over the course of its life, Battersea Power Station has been instilled in the public consciousness, not least when Pink Floyd famously adopted it for its Animals album cover and launch in 1977. As a result of its popularity, a great deal of energy has been expended in protecting this landmark.
Following the decommissioning of the ‘A’ station in 1975, the whole structure was listed at Grade II in 1980 before, in 1983, the B station was also closed. Since that time, and following the listing being upgraded to a Grade II* status in 2007, Battersea Power Station has become almost as famous for plans heralding its future as for its past. Until now, that is.
The transformation of Battersea Power Station – this familiar and much-loved silhouette on the London skyline – is set to arrive, along with the regeneration and revitalisation of this forgotten corner of central London. History is about to be made once more.

Here is Express Motors Optare Solo V684 FEL seen resting at a bus waiting area at the Bangor bus station and it's about to head out while its doing the route 5A to Nantlle. This was new to Wilts and Dorset in 1999 and it's turned 17 along with its sister V673 FEL.
The rapidly sinking sun is visible through the big, steamy plume as the WW&F yard crew turns B&SR #7 on the Sheepscot Turntable. Note the icicles on the edge of the shop roof to the left. The temperature when this photo was taken was about 10F, and the batteries in my heated socks had pretty much given up the ghost.
