Many thanks to all those who fave or comment always very much appreciated

Die V100 093 der ACTS war an einem sonnigen Tag in Februar 1999 mit einem Müllzug aus Wijster unterwegs zu Groningen Losplaats. Im Bild hatte der Zug das Ziel gerade erreicht.

 

Met de huisvuiltrein uit Wijster was de ACTS V100 093 op een zonnige dag in februari in 1999 onderweg naar Groningen Losplaats. Op de foto is de trein net aangekomen.

 

ACTS engine V100 093 was headed for Groningen Losplaats with a freight train carrying domestic waste (from VAM in Wijster) and is seen here on a sunny day in February 1999 after just having arrived.

For roughly 2 seconds Danni was perched atop her dog Boo.

Dad was just off to the left and kept her from toppling over.

Not sure who this is, but the pose is fantastic. Obviously, I shouldn't come any closer than this... Really made my day! (Squirrels-2021-8015.jpg)

Gradually, with ever decreasing visibility, or by a sudden black-out? Or, by an intentional and stage-managed theatrical act (think of David Bowie's last video showing him disappearing into a cabinet)? How will we be going and disappearing from Flickr? What will happen to the visual wake we are leaving behind? Fuji X-Pro1 plus Fujinon XF 1.4/35.

This Great Blue Heron landed in the top of a cedar tree but the branches were too flimsy to support its weight. So he struggled to maintain his balance. It was rather entertaining to watch for about 30 seconds until it flew off to find a more stable perch.

We observed this fun behavior at The Nature Conservancy's Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve in central Kansas.

Sliders Sunday

 

Remember Sister Act, this is Sinister Act.👻Happy Halloween!👻

this play was "ON" the fort......amazing balancing act it was.

Sunday's forecast for Glen Affric looked promising for some potential mist so I managed to persuade Iain (Highlandscape) along for a sunrise shoot. We were initially restricted to some 'minimalist' mist shots, disappointed that the mist and low cloud blocked any chance of some sunrise colour. However, all was about to change as the sun broke through the mist tops, with the next 30 mins or so providing some of the best light and environmental conditions I have witnessed,

... for the Carnation. It's Act I for the button because it's the first time I've photographed it. :)

 

The button is French and dates from the 1900s. It's hand painted and has areas of both champlevé and guilloché enamel.

  

Heavy head winds and a captured vole produced this balancing act shot.

Hi guys, hope you're all going well. Haven't checked into Flickr for awhile as I've had a bit on. Anyway, here's some hawk shots I took last week (as always, no need to comment).

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-)

Who knew that it is so difficult to balance Dolly Mixtures! After multiple collapses I had to enlist the help of my patient engineer husband to build my Dolly Mixture pyramid! Between the builder and the photographer we managed the balancing act!!!!!

90006 & 90015 passing Beckhouses with 4S60, the 22.00 London Gateway - Coatbridge 'liner on Wed 18th March 2026.

 

The train was running 286 mins late here, due to an overhead wires issue at Leyland.

...this little lady bug is precariously balanced atop a still life of clear marbles and plastic forks...I think she is looking for her reflection on the shiny surface below!

They gather each night to watch the show in the best seats in the house. The boats bob in anticipation, the Gull's cheer, and the ducks quietly quack excitedly to each other.

For over twenty years, a dedicated team of volunteers at the Bluebell Railway, has been rebuilding 'Beachy Head'. No. 32424 was a class H2 'Atlantic' type locomotive, which was one one of a batch originally constructed by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway between 1911 and 1912 at Brighton. 'Beachy Head' was the last of the class to be withdrawn in 1958.

 

In 2000, the Bluebell Railway announced an ambitious plan to rebuild one of these locos, and it's now complete and looks superb!

 

For the last week of August 'Beachy Head' will be the main attraction on the Bluebell Railway, as it will be officially launched into public service on the railway.

 

I was keen to see this locomotive as the class were a favourite of my late father. Three of his photos of the original 'Beachy Head' are in the links below.
