The new WHA aggregate wagons being used for grain at Fremantle on 27 December 1985. The WHA wagons were used for hauling aggregates from Chris Hill in the Avon Valley.

This is a large example of Puget Sound's common Aggregating Anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima).
It was a very sunny day, I shaded them with an umbrella to avoid the mass of specular highlights. But have reflections of the sky and my white umbrella, which I did not realize until I got it up on the computer screen.
Has been cropped so the texture of the sea anemones can be seen.
Do enlarge to see a bit more.

aggregate beginning to be spread and tampered. one bag doesn't go very far so from thinking i'd bought too much aggregate i'm wondering if i've bought enough! by the end of the day i'll know ...
sand will be spread and tampered on top of the aggregate
in the black sacks at the end of the garden are broken roofing tiles, which had been used to edge the plan of the garden at an earlier stage flic.kr/p/2mv7MWE i'm going to break them up more then lay and tamper them at the top end of the garden path before the aggregate goes down on top as the trench is deeper than required
the broken bench moved to the back of the garden for the cats
the dwarf fushia in the centre bed is still in its pot and only placed. it may/may not be its eventual position. i had it in a hanging basket ...
ps spot tiddy one of the garden cats
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

'Coastway' stone working. 59204 approaching Havant with loaded stone train 6O68 0911 Westbury Tarmac to Crawley Freight Yard. With the changes to the Mendip stone train schedules, caused mainly by FLHH no longer using Acton Yard, the 'Coastway' route now has a quite regular freight east of Chichester.
In tidepool below Rosario Head in Deception Pass State Park.
Usually these grow tightly together, but in recent years, their numbers have dwindled to only a few; possibly because of the King Tides we've gotten in the winter.

Another special liveried locomotive and despite the sun being side on, it would have been rude not to have taken a picture.

Concrete street gutter a few blocks from my home

About the worst aggregate I have ever seen - the concrete is much stronger with angular aggregate.
Probably from stream gravel deposits from the S. Platte River about a mile to the west. Possibly 50 to 60 years old. Today most of our aggregates come from crusher plants, so it is much sharper and more uniform.
DCR 60055 'Thomas Barnado' passes Harrowden Jct. Wellingborough working the 6Z44 12:00 Burton on Trent West Yard to Angerstein Wharf empty aggregates.

Having run around Monday's 6Z19, 68017 has eased the train into Sellafield sidings alongside the identical consist headed by 68016.
Both trains would head to the Drigg LLWR the following morning.
Two pairs of 68s are seen inside the Sellafield compound. The right hand pair are being prepared to head for Crewe with three FNAs as 6K73, whilst the other brace would later work 6C46 to Kingmoor.
