Take some time and learn to breathe
And remember what it means
To feel alive
And to believe
The railway unions were on strike when we passed the Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales, so there was little point in waiting for a train. In the background is Whernside, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. It is the highest at 2,415 feet above sea level, with the other two being Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent. All three can be seen from near where this shot was taken.
The Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire is regarded as the most impressive structure on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. It is Grade II*-listed and dates from the 1870s when hundreds of railway builders ("navvies") lost their lives building the line, from a combination of accidents, fights, and smallpox outbreaks. In particular, building the Ribblehead (then called Batty Moss) viaduct, with its 24 massive stone arches 104 feet above the moor, caused such loss of life that the railway paid for an expansion of the local graveyard.
There is a fascinating and detailed historical note at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribblehead_Viaduct.
ДТП на перекрёстке во время снегопада. Таксист при повороте налево не предоставил преимущество двигавшемуся прямо тёмному автомобилю. С другой стороны, этот автомобиль мог проскакивать на красный.
Car accident on the crossroad under the snowfall. Ubet taxi hit the dark car while making left turn. On the other hand, the dark car might have been crossing the street on the red signal.

44299 (Sturovo-Ercsi) The Rohoznik-Ercsi loaded cement train new operator is in Hungary the Kárpát Vasút Kft. The trains are usually hauled by GySEV V43 "sziili" GANZ locomotive. An interesting thing about locomotive 333: is that it was originally body of MÁV V43 1003. The original V43 333 body its was bent in accident with V43 326 in 2007.
I was drawing the curtains when I accidentally broke off one of the flowers from my amaryllis plant. I didn't want to throw it away so I put it in one of my little "casualty" pots, where it bloomed happily for just as long as if it had still been attached to the main stem - HMBT!
Avui, una tórtora a xocat contra la finestra, suposem que perseguida per una altra au, deixant la seva silueta marcada al vidre.
The Ferry connects the west side of Cincinnati with Constance, Ky. Motorists find it's quicker to use the ferry to get to the Greater Cincinnati Airport. Frequent accidents can jam the interstate system.
The pilot is looking right into the camera!
Continuing my series of very old aircraft, this is the oldest British built aeroplane that can still be flown. Dating from 1912, it was built to the order of one Cyril Foggin, about whom little seems to be known, other than that he became a Royal Flying Corps pilot in WW1, rose to the rank of Major and was sadly killed in 1918 at the age of 26 in a car accident close to the Western front in France. Before the war, Foggin had sold the Blackburn plane to farmer Montague Glew. The latter flew, and eventually crashed the plane in 1914. Its remains were kept in a barn (under a haystack!) until discovered and purchased by Richard Shuttleworth in 1938. The aircraft was restored in 1948 and has been flying ever since, owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection.
On a happier note, Monty married Cyril's younger sister in 1922. Monty was lucky to have survived his brief flying career - he was too short-sighted for military service in WW1.

This was an accident: I ran the same roll of FP4+ through the camera TWICE, by mistake. *Duh*
I was testing my new Kodak Retina IIC (big C) after servicing it. Nice camera, great viewfinder.

The world-famous Reynisfjara shore, near the village Vik in Myrdalur on Iceland's South Coast, is widely regarded as the most impressive black-sand beach in Iceland… Reynisfjara is a black pebble beach and features an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns resembling a rocky step pyramid, which is called Hálsanef. Out in the sea are the spectacularly shaped basalt sea stacks Reynisdrangar. The area has a rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots. The waves at Reynisfjara are especially strong and unpredictable, and fatal accidents have occurred at this beach, so people are advised to take extra care when visiting the area. According to folklore, two trolls attempted to drag a ship to land but were turned to stone as daylight broke, turning them into the Reynisdrangar stacks, clearly visible from the beach.

When I take the camera out, I always feel it is not me composing the shot, it is the mother nature, at her mercy, show off her creativity for me to take a record ...

Visit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggys_Cove,_Nova_Scotia
Peggys Point Lighthouse (also known as Peggy's Cove Lighthouse) is in Peggys Cove and is an iconic Canadian image. It is one of the busiest tourist attractions in Nova Scotia and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is officially known as the Peggys Point Lighthouse.
Peggys Cove is a classic red-and-white lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The light station is situated on an extensive granite outcrop at Peggys Point, immediately south of the village and its cove. This lighthouse is one of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada and one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world.
Visitors may explore the granite outcrop on Peggys Point around the lighthouse; despite numerous signs warning of unpredictable surf (including one on a bronze plaque on the lighthouse itself), several visitors each year are swept off the rocks by waves, sometimes drowning.
Peggys Cove is 43 kilometers (26 miles) southwest of downtown Halifax and comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name, a name also shared with Peggy's Point, immediately to the east of the cove. The village marks the eastern point of St. Margaret's Bay.(Wikipedia)

Swissair Flight 111
Swissair Flight 111 (SR111, SWR111) was a Swissair McDonnell Douglas MD-11 on a scheduled airline flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States to Cointrin International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland. This flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.
On Wednesday, 2 September 1998, the aircraft used for the flight, registered HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggys Cove and Bayswater. All 229 people on board died—the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and the second-highest of any air disaster to occur in Canada, after Arrow Air Flight 1285. This is one of only two hull losses of the passenger configured MD-11, along with China Airlines Flight 642.
The initial search and rescue response, crash recovery operation, and resulting investigation by the Government of Canada took over four years and cost CAD 57 million (at that time approximately US$38 million). The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's (TSB) official report of their investigation stated that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in a loss of control and the crash of the aircraft.
Swissair Flight 111 was known as the "UN shuttle" due to its popularity with United Nations officials; the flight often carried business executives, scientists, and researchers
Aircraft
The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, serial number 48448 registered HB-IWF, was manufactured in 1991 and Swissair was its only operator. It bore the title of Vaud, in honor of the Swiss canton of the same name. The airframe had a total of 36,041 hours. The three engines were Pratt & Whitney 4462s. The cabin was configured with 241 seats (12 six-abreast first-, 49 seven-abreast business-, and 180 nine-abreast economy-class). First- and business-class seats were equipped with an in seat in-flight entertainment system, installed at some point after initial entry into service. (Wikipedia)

Or the sorry tale of the forgotten camera. Adapt, overcome, prevail. Use your phone. 😀
The military truck was a good four vehicles ahead of us when it swerved and hit the center island barrier (this way while I was on my way back to Singapore from Malacca). Two soldiers were tossed to the other lane and luckily they were not hit by oncoming cars. The driver (above) had wounds all over, and another soldier lies pinned under the truck. My limo driver had to stop and help the injured; I took a few shots of the scene. My prayers to those who were injured; hopefully, everyone made it.
Life is too fleeting, live it to the fullest..
