Baxter Junction stands as the most active point on the CV in today's standards. R614 rolls off the Poorfork with a trio of engines and 111 loaded tubs from Lynch 3. With Lynch 3 generating the bulk of traffic on the CV these days, sometimes up to a dozen or more trains can traverse this junction in a weeks time.
The new footbridge opened in December 2024 and is between the former Coltbridge Junction and Dalry Middle Junction on the ex-CR Dalry spur of the Granton branch. The abutments of the one time railway bridge can be seen beneath the new footbridge. The old and new bridges were needed to cross the ex-CR Haymarket branch, which after nearly a century of being little more than a long siding, enabled trains from the West Coast Main Line to reach Waverley (from 1964) and facilitated the closure of Princes Street station in 1965.. The Carstairs to Waverley route was electrified in 1991 and in terms of passenger traffic, carries Avanti West Coast services to/from London Euston via Birmingham, TransPennine Express services to/from Manchester Airport, Caledonian Sleeper services to/from London Euston and ScotRail services to/from Glasgow Central via Motherwell. ScotRail’s Glasgow Central services via Shotts use this route as far as Kirknewton. This view looks approximately eastwards towards the city centre.

Active Assignment Weekly: Nightime
In honor of the current meteor showers and all of the wonderful Christmas lightings out there, let's make this week's assignment a nighttime shot. No subject, just get out there and test your skills doing a nighttime shot.
WIT: Nina Akamu (American, born 1955). The American Horse, 1998, Bronze. Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. www.meijergardens.org/
Thanks Cliffwix for getting me back outside with my camera. 1600 ISO, F14, 13s.
The skys were very active over the battle. In this case the Soviets got some help first. The strafing run did get a few hits on the inf guns crews. I tend to use the rectangular based models for the HQ squads.
What happens when a dinner for four adults turns into a dinner for seven adults and three little girls. Basically, a whole lot of fun. And we STILL had leftovers!
Active Assignment Weekly: June 6-13: Nature's Geometric Shapes
Being an engineer, it has always fascinated me how nature can construct geometric shapes (circles,triangles,pentagons, hexagons... and on and on) so perfectly. We mortal beings must use rulers, compasses, and straight edges to create such things.
For the assignment, photograph a geometric shape created by nature.
There used to be dew on the spider's web, before I got up this morning. So I simply replaced it with a spray mist of water. SOOC. I don't have close up or macro lenses, so this is a close as I could get.
Alan Beckford is a very good swimmer, and past winner of jake's, although his 14 year old daughter can whip him and everyone else out of the water!
B&W Flora - Don’t get me wrong I love the intensity and variety of the colour of flowers and plants - but there is something about their form and texture which only B&W images shows off.
So get out in the garden, the countryside - or just pick up a houseplant and see how beautiful these plants can be - without their colour.
Restriction:
Just to keep things interesting - no trees - that’s a separate challenge altogether. So its flowers, vegetables, shrubs or grasses.
Dare:
Get up real close and have a go at a macro shot and make the ordinary look extraordinary.
WIT: found this in a garden centre in Lusaka, Zambia, B&W conversion, crop, some contrast adjustment
Esmail and crew made the rounds to all the I.E. Active locations on Black Friday morning to serve hot chocolate and giveaway some free Mugs. Went to Active Rancho, Chino, Chino Hills, Corona, Temecula, and Riverside. Overall the shops did successful that day!
State and federal elected officials and senior military leaders join families, friends and fellow Soldiers to mark the official start of federal active duty for Task Force Red Dragon Nov. 27, 2021, at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. More than 1,000 Virginia and Kentucky Army National Guard Soldiers are mobilizing as Task Force Red Dragon under the command of the Lynchburg-based 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, to provide a security force in support of Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa. It is the largest VNG single-unit mobilization since World War II. The Troutville-based 29th Infantry Division Band provided music for the ceremony, and members of the Virginia Defense Force volunteered their time to assist with traffic management and parking.

152mm TecnoSky Refractor, 135mm D-ERF, Daystar Quark Chromosphere & PG IMX174. Best 20% from 2000+ frames captured, Autostakkert, IMPPG then into PS for tweaking.
Taken for Active Weekly Assignment: Black and White and Red All Over.
WIT: Trying to get the little girl to sit still long enough to take the shot. Set up a white towel and grabbed a Hibiscus flower off the bush. Resisting the urge to post process was the hardest.
Assignment: This week will challenge you to capture subjects that have at least 75% pure Black and White elements in the photo frame – no other colours can be predominent (skin tones are ok, but can't make up more than 25%)
One compulsory addition: add a spot of Red, somewhere, somehow into the photo (i.e. introduce red rose petals on piano keys, but keeping in mind the green stem and leaves are forbidden.)
Restriction: No black and white film/image – you must shoot in colour, and bring back a photo in RGB.
Dare: Absolutely no post-processing! WYSIWYG: shoot as if you had positive slide film, and could not make any adjustments. This is directed at those of us who love to 'tweak' in PS by sliding around Curves, Levels, Selective Colour, Brightnes/Contrast, Highlight/Shadows, etc. Try going without and bring back your results from what you shot 'in camera' only.
One acceptable exception: if shooting RAW, you can use a sharpen command, but nothing more.

So I'm living in Ottawa now, and I've noticed "active lifestyle" is a really big thing... considering the number of outdoor venues I'm not surprised. I think it's really interesting and I hope to document it in abstract ways this summer while I'm here.
Sorry for the break in updates, I've got a big backlog of stuff to go through after my trip to Waterloo and Engagement photo session with my friends Carly and Ryan at the end of April.
I have plenty of free time on my hands though, being on my own in Ottawa, so I should be back up to regular posting soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
Active Assignment Weekly:May 5-12, 2014 - Product Photography
Made one of those cardboard light tents. Used white chart paper behind & a bedsheet to cover the box. Two lamps on either side of box shining thru the sheet. Did have to use curves layer in PS to whiten more.
Its not as sharp as I would like but I ran out of time as usual.
Boxer and Fitness enthusiast taking a break. Marc, you're not working hard enough if you're able to crack a smile!
Rheannon went to her home town, San Luis Obispo, and took some pictures of her sisters, Josie and Ceara in the wild flowers in Santa Margarita. She used Fuji Superia X-tra 400 film on the Minolta x-570.
Active Assignment Weekly: Nov 28-Dec 5: All Things Orange
WIT- A search for something orange..........I don't seem to have a lot of orange things....
Available light, sharpening, and crop.....that is it.
Active Assignment Weekly: June 23-30:Communication
I think every parent has had this talk several times. We sure have! The older boy (head down) was upset and blaming his partner (younger brother) for getting them out in the balloon toss game.
WIT: Cropped in PS & added a Gradient filter.
