Two Foden OG lorries at Astle Park, not a great photo but I thought it was worth sharing.
On the left is JVU 332, a 1948 OG4 flatbed in the livery of G.H Donaldson & Sons.
On the right is MAU 840, a 1950 OG tipper in the livery of British Road Services.
This is a composite of the inside of two cathedrals in Barcelona. One is the gothic Cathedral of Barcelona and the other is the post gothic Sagrada Família designed by Antoni Gaudi. The two edifices could not be more different. The only thing they have in common is they are Roman Catholic. Read more on the blog: www.justenoughfocus.com/two-cathedrals/

Here it is in all its glory! This is my collection of outfit designs inspired by one of my favorite albums ever, Prism! I designed an outfit for every official track. I'm super happy with this whole collection and hope to get around to making all of these outfits for a huge photo shoot! I really hope you like my designs! Please comment what you think of them and which ones you really want me to make first! Thank You!!
Yin & Yang are an obvious inspiration for this look. The song is about fighting and i think the dress looks as though its fighting with itself in a way like the black and the white are vying to be the dress and not share, but you need both for the design to be complete.
These two are physco when they play haha. Despite Banjo's size he's usually the one jumping all over Shandi while she rolls on the ground.

Photos from the road section of the HERO Challenge Two 2019 taken as the cars and competitors passed through the village of Passenham, near Stony Stratford.
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania is best known as the home to General George Washington's Continental Army for the winters of 1777-1778. Back in those days, large scale combat wasn't conducted during the winter since snow and cold weather presented a logistical nightmare so armies would build up large camps where they could spend the winter. Despite popular belief, the winters during these years weren't especially harsh (the belief that they were is mostly due to America's romanticism of this period). The winters however were full of disease which plagued the troops who were in extremely close proximity to one another. During those two winters at Valley Forge, the Continental Army trained and became an even stronger unit.
I had visited Valley Forge once before (shortly after I graduated high school) but for some reason didn't remember it well. Walking around the park in the summer's high heat and ridiculous humidity was worth it. It's a beautiful place that's fully of amazing history.
ABOUT THE SERIES
In June 2010 Michelle and I traveled to Philadelphia (and surrounding areas) for a summer vacation and to visit her extended family. I'd been to Philadelphia twice before, once in eighth grade and once during college but I only remember bits and pieces of each previous trip. The trip during college was during the 2010 Republican National Convention (I wasn't there for the convention) and I remember the entire city resembling a police state with police everywhere due to all the protests.
Anyway, it was great to return to the city and see some of the surrounding areas I hadn't explored before. We visited during a heatwave (90 degree heat with intense humidity which apparently is a little unusual in June but typical in August) but it was well worth the trip.

A couple more shots of the beautiful Lake Como making the most of the less than favourable conditions we met on out recent trip!

I'm really, really bad with strangers and it usually takes me several encounters before I can open up ever so slightly.
I decided to participate in the 100 Strangers project some two months ago, after following Neil Winch for quite some time.
In other words, it took me two months to finally get out there and try it.
Today was the day!
I chose Zürich for my first time because there's thousands of people to encounter and I was sure that I would easily find someone there. aha..ha..
After entering the Bahnhofstrasse I was slightly overwhelmed by the shear masses of people passing by.
Countless interesting, beautiful people one could talk to if one had the balls..
I grabbed my DSLR tightly and stood there like a lost boy waiting for his mum.
After what felt like an eternity, I decided to sit on a bench and jump at the next passer-by that didn't seem too busy or dangerous.
They suddenly all looked terribly frightening and busy and after almost an hour I was about to give up when...
...this guy sits down next to me, making a phone call. He talks about filming and opportunities and that's when I decided that this had to be a sign.
I patiently waited for him to hang up, gave him a few more seconds to check some messages and then I finally got to talk to someone.
Meet Pascal
I explained my dire situation to him and he instantly nodded and told me how hard HE had it when he first started out with street photography, where for him the hardest part was aproaching people aswell.
How lucky can one get with the first time?
Pascal works in sales most of the time, making some money in filming and photography besides. He aspires to go full-time professional soon and I wish him all the best, should he happen to stumble upon this picture.
I asked for his permission to publish the picture on flickr and will e-mail him a few of the keepers.
There weren't many, though..
I only ever used the lens once with a student and shaking all over my body (from the cold) I couldn't get the focus most of the time.
I wanted to have the tattoo visible with a buttery background and some spots of warmth coming from the lights.
However, I totally missed that stupid sign in the background, which I had to burn by almost one stop so it wouldn't distract too much from the subject.
So, this was my first time and I can only hope that it won't be another 2 months till I get my shite together to get out there again, now that I'm kinda stoked about my "success".
Maybe, sometime in 2015 I will even manage to aproach a girl.. there's still time...
This picture is #1 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Trent Barton, ADL Enviro 200 MMC, 157 followed by sister 151 head for Ilkeston on the 'Two' service from Nottingham. This 10-minute service frequency was thrown into chaos due to the insane levels of Christmas traffic congestion along the route. This resulted in the clumping of buses and gaps in the service. A 50-minute gap had elapsed by the time these buses appeared, only to be followed by a third bus, 155 right behind. Unfortunately, there are no on-foot inspectors to regulate services these days, everything done by GPS location and radio communication, which doesn't seem to cut it when it gets this bad.
Interestingly, this was the second day of these buses operating on this service, their launch on this route being on Sunday 21st December 2025, ousting Volvo B8REs from 2015. The replacement 2020 ADLs have come from Kinchbus of Loughborough where they had been used on their Skylink service.
Additionally on the day of this photo, there were at least three stand-in buses working the route (Volvos 723, 747 & Versa 821); I don't know why that was? I did witnesses one of the ADLs (156) blowing off excess air pressure, sounding like an angry rattle-snake as it went down the road. It's never a good idea to mass change things outright before Christmas, it generally only adds to the seasonal chaos and frustrations for passengers and drivers alike.

-29C = -20.2F
-33C = -27.4F
-42C = -43.6F
We hit -31C and -40C windchill at half past midnight two mornings ago, 15 January 2020. Then, around 1:30 yesterday morning, 16 January, the windchill reached -42C!
Friday, 17 January 2020: our temperature at 11:30 am is -24C (windchill -36C). It may well have been a degree or two colder, earlier. Sunrise is at 8:31 am, sunset at 5:01 pm. We were in a brutal, dangerous deep freeze last weekend and it is continuing all this week. Sunday is forecast to have a high of -2C (windchill -5C) and, after that, things look like they will improve even more. Temperatures not to mess with at the moment - if you don't absolutely have to go out, be wise and stay home. It amazes me that schools have not closed down. We will all be so relieved when this frigid spell is over.
I am adding the description that I wrote under various photos taken on the same day.
"Two days ago, on 16 October 2019, I really did luck out with the weather. Knowing that I am running out of time before the next snowfall happens - we've already had two, one in September and one so far this month - I reckoned it was now or not to make another long drive. The place I wanted to see again was way NE of the city. I had been there only once before, on 29 September 2014, and that was just a brief visit. My daughter and I had arrived there around 4:00 pm after a long day, and I wanted to get back home before it got dark (out of luck), because of poor night vision. Also, having spent the day at two other places plus lots of driving, I was in too much pain to walk around Rowley. I was determined to see everything this visit.
After leaving home at 9:15 am, it took me almost four hours to get there, as I kept stopping to take photos of the clouds and any old barns that I came across. On the return journey, I think I only stopped once and that was to take a few zoomed-in (Focal Length (35mm format) - 1600 mm) photos of a favourite old house. It is so far away, surrounded by rolling hills, that it is barely noticeable. There had been no obvious change over the last five years, which was good to see. It is so decayed that one can't help but wonder how much longer it will remain standing. I could have posted the original image, but I decided to add a touch of filter in post-processing, to bring out a bit more detail. The first time I saw this old house was on 18 July 2016, when my daughter and I did a bit of exploring NE of Calgary. Then, on 17 September 2017, after noticing snowflake icons in the weather forecast for Calgary, I decided I would do a similar drive, but not quite as far this time. It was nice to see it again two days ago.
There is very little information about this house to be found on the Internet, but I will add links to several things I did find, for my own memory and just in case anyone else is interested in the history of this place. So sad to see any old house, barn or shed fall into such decay.

On the drive to my destination, I called in at a small village/hamlet that I had been to with my daughter back in 2014. There was an old building there that was easily photographed from the road, which is what my daughter and I had done. However, for once, I actually knocked on the owner's door and asked if it was OK to photograph her old grain elevator, meaning from the road. However, she very kindly told me to go over to it and take any photos I wanted. This grain elevator is a different style from what one usually thinks of, when 'grain elevator' is mentioned. I like it, and it is quite a fine building.
I am so glad I finally made myself do this drive, despite feeling sick to the stomach at the thought of driving so many kilometres that were unknown to me. Thankfully, I made it without getting lost, without running out of gas, and arriving home at 5:45 pm before it started getting dark. A great day!"
