East Broad Top coal hopper continues to deteriorate in the Mount Union yard. Likely has not been moved since the closure of EBT in 1956.
66741 passing Winning Crossing Junction with 4N68, Tyne Coal Terminal to North Blyth coal for loading at Battleship Wharf, Wednesday 20.4.16.
Winning is the term used for newly discovered coal seams before they receive their official name, the area around Bedlington, Ashington and North Blyth was not short of mines back in the day.
The signal box is a NER design dating from 1895, one of three boxes on the triangular junction between Bedlington and Ashington on the Blyth and Tyne Railway at West Sleekburn. The others were West Sleekburn and Marcheys House boxes, the former being closed, and the other currently mothballed whist no traffic is booked to Lynemouth Power Station whilst it undergoes conversion to biomass. Winning Crossing box is on the Cambois branch to the docks at North Blyth.
This is the sixth image from my award-winning series, but I never officially entered this one as it didn't add to the flow. However, as a standalone I think it works quite well with that receding tree line.
In terms of post processing my main concern was to keep the contrast down. I converted the shot to black and white and deliberately did not set the black point and the white point. I wanted to make this look like a pencil drawing, so it needed to stay sort of grayish.
Conditions like this a pretty rare in Deadvlei, but I hope that we're going to be lucky again next year.

Due to popular demand we have added a second Namibia Untamed tour for 2016, and exceptional landscape photographer Ryan Dyar will lead that tour.
If you want to visit Namibia, look no further. We were the first company to offer photography tours to Namibia, and there is no better organized Namibia tour out there. Also, we are still the only company that offers microlight flights over the famous Namibian sand dunes.
If you're interested in joining Ryan to Namibia, please check out our website for more information, images, video clips, and a very detailed tour PDF: www.squiver.com
Hope to see you there!

➤ The Winning Race
Congratulation to President Joko Widodo for winning the Indonesian presidential election of the second period 2019-2024
It is often a question of attitude. Walk erect, with the front view and without fear. With confidence and with the conviction that the best effort is being made. Life is a great parade, you just have to go out and parade the best way you can do it. It parades in life with more life. Retiro. Buenos Aires city. Argentina.
Something created for the Photoshop Challenge over at the NAPP site. A self portrait that I wish could come true.
Even though Pine Junction sucks photogenic wise, you never knew what you would see for power. IHB's only GP40P-2 leads another GP east to Burns Harbor.
Near the point where the Mosel river meets the Rhein, there are the extremely steep vineyards of Winningen. Here it's so steep that they had to build terraces (therefore it's called Terrassenmosel). Good wines from Heyman Löwenstrein or Knebel.
On a crisp day in September 2000, a pair of former Canadian Pacific RS18s leads a wayfreight on the Chemin de fer Baie des Chaleurs (or the Chaleur Bay Railway for those of you who don't remember French class) near Port Daniel, Quebec on the Gaspe Peninsula. Of all the railroads I've shot, this has to be one of the luckiest catches because freight service on the Peninsula in later years was spotty at best. In fact, within a year or so of this image being taken, much of the traffic on the east end of the former Canadian National branch dried up. This photo went on to win Trains Magazine's 2001 Student Photo Contest. In return, I got a brand new Canon Rebel 2000 film camera, although to be honest, I'd totally give back that camera just to have one more shot at photographing this railroad.
Somehow I managed to forget my favorite shot of the day in my uploads... This was from the same market as the other shots today, in Riva San Vitale. This man was holding his ticket behind his back in before the numbers were called out. He didn't win.
I got the 3rd place, and the following link is the winning photo: www.flickr.com/photos/metal543/6838587716

Bettylou Sakura Johnson from Haleiwa, Oahu Hawaii competed in all 5 heats of WSL Van's US Open 2022, she advanced to the Finals, defeated Macy Callaghan and won the Women's Challenger Series at Surf City, Huntington Beach California.
Did I think the Wheeling would go on duty a few hours earlier than normal today? No.
Did I expect them to have a matched trio of SD40-2's when they did go on duty early? No.
Did I expect the cloud cover to break up shortly before they departed Lang Yard? No.
Did all of those things happen? I dunno, look at the shot!
Easing down to a stop at Ironville to wait out cross traffic, WE94 is stretched across the Maumee River behind WE 6354, WE 4003 (the "BoBo" engine), and WE 6352, the first matched trio of Wheeling power I've ever seen. It's not the most common thing in the world, considering their somewhat colorful roster of secondhand EMD's.

De Realiteit, Almere, The Netherlands
On the south bank of the lake Noorderplassen in Almere is situated the experimental housing community De Realiteit (The Reality). Seventeen prize winning designs of the second design competition of the foundation "The Fantasy" were built here in 1986. A year earlier "De Fantasie" organized a design contest entitled "Temporary Housing". The prizes consisted of plots building land of 20 x 20 m, where the winners, 17 in total, could achieve their winning ideas. This contest followed the competition “Ongewoon Wonen” (Unusual Living) of 1982 and was realized at the lake Weerwater in Almere City.
By their design, the contests offered opportunity for the most free designs, especially as the building rules did not have to be met. Concepts as demountable, displaceable and limited lifespan were central. The removal of the building rules meant that the honored buildings had to be considered temporary. The applicants knew in advance that the normal funding source, namely the mortgage, was not available due to the temporary carcass. Traditional design principles, necessary to ensure sufficient market value, did not therefore have to be a point of departure in designing. This required the imposition of other than normal funding sources, such as subsidization, corporate sponsorship.
The jury consisted of: Pi de Bruyn, architect; All Hosper, landscape architect; Jon Kristinson, architect and construction engineer; Bruno Ninaber van Eyben, industrial designer; Jeanne Roos, journalist; Luce van Rooij, gallery owner and Moshé Zwarts, architect and chairman of the jury. They assessed the submissions according to the criteria: resourcefulness, feasibility, construction, material use, design, housing and energy management. The winners of the competition were given land on the site by the Government service IJsselmeerpolders, in cooperation with the municipality of Almere.
