It has "5" in the name because it was in my closet for 5 years before I finally finished it. I am very proud of this design. Hope you like it.

Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks - just can't let Christmas come and go without letting them wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
They are second only to the Laughing Gull on my favorites list. They remind me of the little green Martians that are toys in the Toy Story movies. They act as a unit, one for all, all as one. They can't think outside their box, they're noisy, if one moves, they all move, and most unusual for a duck - they don't really like to get in the water.
Wisconsin Central SD45 No. 6522 helps power a transfer run on the Illinois Central at Homewood, Illinois, in April 1998. The train is waiting for traffic to clear before interchanging with the IC in Markham Yard. The image was made from a Metra station platform. (Scanned from a slide)
107 448 passes the starting signal at Lochwinnoch (Lochside) on its way to Ayr in the summer of 1982. Note the short signal post to assist sighting under the farm crossing overbridge - conversely the signal in the Glasgow direction has a tall post and is also positioned outside the curve to assist sighting round the shallow, curved cutting.

This striking photograph from Yuri Beletsky captures many wonders — both terrestrial and astronomical — across an incredible distance scale.
In the immediate foreground looms ESO’s VISTA survey telescope. This 4.1-metre telescope scans the skies in infrared light, picking out astronomical objects of interest so that they can be studied by the four 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) facility. This facility can be seen on the mountaintop to VISTA’s right, about a kilometre up the road.
In the sky above VISTA a luminous and dark-ribboned band runs from lower left to top right. This is the disc of the Milky Way, seen edge-on and looking inward toward the galactic core. Although we cannot see all the way to the core with our unaided eyes, we have gauged its distance as about 30 000 light-years from us. That distance works out as about 280 quadrillion kilometres, or 280 000 000 000 000 000 trips up the road from VISTA to the VLT!
The glowing blob seen here almost directly overhead of the VLT is the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy that neighbours the Milky Way. It is about 160 000 light-years away. Below and slightly to the left of the LMC is another diffuse brightness in the sky, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This galaxy is nearly 200 000 light-years away meaning that, walking at five kilometres an hour, the journey to the SMC would take more than 43 trillion years.

A Union Pacific Operation Lifesaver special rolls eastward through Elgin on the former CNW's Belvidere Subdivision in 2007. With another E9 on the rear for ease of operations, the nice passenger train ping-ponged around the Chicagoland area for a week or so showing off.
Union Pacific has since decided that dirty-ass freight motors pull these trains just as well if not better, and no one other than the photographers and a few rails even notice the difference.
Op deze bewolkte dag werd er even naar Dordrecht-zuid gegaan. En dan om 13u45 ( + 90) passeert hier de dagelijkse Unit-Cargo met tractie DBC 6510 en 'n korte Unit-Cargo aan de haak (44609). Vanaf hier verder naa Roosendaal en via grensstation Essen (B) naar eindbestemming de Antwersehavens.

First test build of a new model of an everyday modern type of building. Do those silly entrance porticos really add any merit to such a dull structure?
