A giant statue created from coke cratees stands at the center of the fan park at Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown South Africa for the duration of the World Cup.
The curve has never been easy to shoot..harder on a sunny day. Deep shadows ,odd angles, and intense amounts of green background behind black locomotives challenges one when taking "regulation" photos there.
MP 242 Horseshoe Curve/Kittanning Pt Pittsburgh Line NS
Rules of composition: High Angle
This is a high angle shot as the object is being looked down on from a high angle making the object seem vulnerable.
Why is this a good picture?
This is an interesting picture as it follows not one but two rules of composition, leading lines and high angle. Leading line due to the white lanes.
How could it be improved?
The picture could be cropped on the sides to focus more on the object.

A multitude of angles under Scarborough's Valley Bridge.
I took three shots, combined them in a light HDR whilst trying to keep the image looking realistic (which HDR can often not), then gave the image an IR look.

Stephen Carter Lorain MC 540 reports:
The W. S. Caine was built by William Thomas and Sons of Amlwch in 1883 for their own fleet. She was a steam coaster, 122ft long 21ft beam and of 155grt with a carrying capacity of 200 tons of cargo. She was named after [the Liberal MP] W.S. Caine who with his brother had interests in iron ore workings at Millom in Cumberland and was also involved with William Thomas in a branch of the Thomas shipyard which was opened at Millom. In 1895 the ship was purchased by the Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales SS Co and in 1911 sold to William Rouse of Neyland, Pembrokeshire. Your family sold her in 1919 to John Robertson of Lerwick who sold her again in 1920 to John Johnson of Glasgow and she was broken up 2 years later by William Cubbin and Co of Birkenhead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is her crew list for 1915:
collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/637895.html --
William Rouse; rank/rating, Master; year of birth, 1856; place of birth, St Ives, Cornwall; previous ship, same. William Rouse; rank/rating, Mate; year of birth, 1876; place of birth, St Ives, Cornwall; previous ship, same. Allan Mcdonald [sic] Rouse; rank/rating, Engineer; year of birth, 1880; place of birth, Angle, Pem; previous ship, same. Ernest Isadore Cecil Rouse; rank/rating, Able Seaman; year of birth, 1882; place of birth, Angle, Pem; previous ship, same. William Hodge; rank/rating, Able Seaman; year of birth, 1878; place of birth, Saundersfoot; previous ship, same.
* The interesting feature here is that all three of the younger single brothers do not feature. This is because they had all, very wisely, emigrated to N. America in November 1914, and did not return until 1921. Great-Uncle William's age and date of birth seem to be inaccurate. It's possible that, with just one son, he was adding a couple of years to his age so that he would reach 40 (beyond the age where he would be at risk of military service) sooner. My grandfather had two children by 1915, while Uncle Allan had no protection other than the importance of his work to the Admiralty and Board of Trade.
The _Caine_ had the misfortune to break her moorings and run ashore during the great Boxing Day storm of 1915, but she was evidently repairable:
Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph, 29 Dec. 1915, p. 3.
NEYLAND.
The worst gale that has taken place in the memory of anyone living at Neyland occurred on Boxing Day. It was not safe to walk down the High Street, and those who had business of any sort cast many furtive glances at danger point and frantically dashed past. There were a few narrow shaves, though they were not generally noted by the possible victim who usually was too engrossed in battling with the elements. Chimneys were dilapidated, slates flew in all directions, and windows were blown in. Davies's hall came down with a huge crash and a lot of damage was done at the Station. The destroyers in the harbour strained at their moorings, a light-ship broke adrift, whilst several vessels ran ashore, including the "Cane" [sic] belonging to Messrs. Rouse, of Hazelbeach.
Although not a "people" card this photo puts the other Angles Hotel cards into perspective.

We now can see where this hotel was and if you look at the Streetview link below it is likely that the original building is still there today. As you will see, some pesky coaches are obscuring the front of some hotels but the buildings look to originate from this era and earlier.

This advertising postcard was sent through the mail on 3rd October 1924
This card if not in the best of condition as you can see from the scan but I am glad I have it.
I acquired this camera at a local flea market. (very cheap) Since these things were very popular and prized possessions in their day they will never be rare. As a matter of fact the sentimental attachment combined with the need to make space at home makes a willing seller.
This came with a flash and two adapter lenses for wide angle and telephoto. The square object in the center mounts in the flash shoe. It is a three way viewfinder. It can be set for normal , wide angle and telephoto to correspond with the adapter lenses. To the left is the owners manual.
This is a composite showing the effects of direction of lighting in a photo. All were shot with the same exposure settings from approximately the same location (didn't have a tripod handy).
