Amazing sunset from Pla de la Calma - Montseny, Catalonia.
The last mountain, at the backend of the photo is Montserrat, a very peculiar mountain for it's shape and geological construction.
Tks for a wonderful workshop to imaginem.cat
Recently had the pleasure to look back at some forgotten images and discovered this, taken backend of 2019 at Rydal Waters.
BN RS11 4189 lingers outside the former SP&S Vancouver Diesel Shops in the very early 1970s. One has to wonder who or what "Mel" is!

Su nombre proviene del latín «autumnus»,2 vocablo que se ha vinculado a la raíz «augeo-», «aumentar». De este modo, los etimologistas latinos explicaban la palabra como «auctus (participio pasado de augeo) annus»: el aumento o la plenitud del año. Puede ser comparada así con el término castellano «auge», que proviene de idéntica raíz.9 Otros autores, como Breyer y Ernout-Meillet, vinculan la palabra latina «autumnus» con la raíz etrusca «autu-», que implica la idea del cambio, y aparece también en el nombre de la divinidad etrusca Vertumno, quien —entre otras funciones— predecía el cambio de las estaciones.91011
La palabra otoño ( /ˈɔːtəm/) deriva del latín autumnus, arcaico auctumnus, posiblemente de la antigua raíz etrusca autu- y tiene en sí connotaciones de paso del año.12 Otras etimologías alternativas pueden ser el protoindoeuropeo *h₃ewǵ- ("frío") o *h₂sows- ("seco").13
Después de la época griega, la palabra siguió usándose como la palabra del francés antiguo autompne (automne en francés moderno) o autumpne en inglés medio,14 y más tarde se normalizó al latín original. En el período medieval existen raros ejemplos de su uso, ya en el siglo XII, pero durante el XVI era de uso común.
Antes del siglo XVI, cosecha era el término que se utilizaba habitualmente para referirse a la estación, como es común en otras lenguas germánicas occidentales hasta nuestros días (cf. Neerlandés herfst, alemán Herbst, y escocés hairst). Sin embargo, a medida que más personas pasaron de trabajar la tierra a vivir en ciudades, la palabra cosecha perdió su referencia a la época del año y pasó a referirse únicamente a la actividad real de cosechar, y otoño, así como otoño, comenzaron a sustituirla como referencia a la estación.1516
En inglés, la palabra alternativa fall para la estación remonta sus orígenes a las antiguas lenguas germánicas. La derivación exacta no está clara, con el Old English fiæll o feallan y el Old Norse fall como posibles candidatos. Sin embargo, todas estas palabras tienen el significado de "caer desde una altura" y se derivan claramente de una raíz común o entre sí. El término pasó a designar la estación en la Inglaterra del siglo XVI, una contracción de expresiones del inglés medio como "caída de la hoja" y "otoño del año". Compárese el origen de Primavera de "primavera de la hoja" y "primavera del año".17
Durante el siglo XVII, los ingleses empezaron a emigrar a las nuevas colonias norteamericanas, y los colonos se llevaron consigo la lengua inglesa. Mientras que el término autumn fue quedando casi obsoleto en Gran Bretaña, se convirtió en el más común en Norteamérica.18 El nombre backend, un nombre antaño común para la estación en el norte de Inglaterra, ha sido hoy sustituido en gran medida por el nombre autumn
Just testing out a new purchase, a Nikon 80-400mm AFS lens. I had been wanting this lens since it was introduced back in 2013, but couldn't justify the price then so since I worked a stupid amount of OT the last couple of weeks I found a used copy.
I am slowly getting set up for a "Bucket List" Trip in the (sorta) near future in which I needed a longer lens than I currently owned. So, now I think I am set for everything related to capture of the images, now it's time to get ready to upgrade my backend equipment.
**side note.. it absolutely FROSTS MY ARSE on how fast devices (computers/tablets) are outdated today. As much as I love Adobe I am frustrated that I need to update my iMac already because they are so dependent on RAM. I really do miss the old days of actually buying a program and updating it when you were good and damn ready.

The Ferry House
Overschie has long been a junction of waterways. This is where the three Schies (the original Schiedamse Schie, the Rotterdam and the Delfhavense Schie) come together and before the railways started to play an important role in transport, there was heavy shipping traffic here.
In the photo we see the ferry house on the Schie; this is right opposite the place where the Rotterdamse Schie ends in the original Schie. Many ships on inland waters were "hunted", i.e. pulled by a horse walking along a canal along a towpath. If the skipper was too poor for a horse, his wife or himself pulled the ship.
Where the towpath along the Rotterdam Schie ended, the horse had to be transferred by ferry to the other side of the Schie where the towpath to Delft continued. That is why the ferry house is also located here.
At the ferry house there are also a few roller poles, vertical poles that had to ensure that the rope used to pull a ship did not catch on objects on the shore in a bend.
Had a little excitement this afternoon. Shortly after returning home from running some errands, I glanced out the basement window and saw what looked like the backend of a large black cat in the middle of the yard - eating something!
Grabbed my camera and raced up to the sunroom for a better look and to catch that darn cat red handed! To my surprise it was this very plump Raccoon foraging around for the nuts tossed out for the squirrels!
Took a few shots through the sunroom window, and then went to tell my sister we had a visitor, so she could see it, too!

888DUK was a Guy Arab V demonstrator vehicle built by Guy Motors in 1963. Its unusual looking Strachan built body was a very angular affair (particularly at the backend), and not very aesthetic to the eye. Why Guy Motors (Europe) chose this austere body style remains a mystery, but the company was not in a very good financial position at the time?
Although the bus looked to be white, it was in fact painted into a very pale grey colour with dark green bands.
888DUK was demonstrated to a number of operators in the early 1960s, including Wolverhampton, Halifax and Southdown.
From peoples jottings, it would appear that the Guy Arab was unpopular with many bus crews during its life as a demonstration bus. The sliding platform door wasn’t liked by some, nor was the bus's apparent jerky semi-automatic transmission.
Wolverhampton Corporation who went on to order Guy Arab Vs in numbers, only used 888DUK on demonstration service for one day in December 1963, presumably before it was moved on elsewhere. By that time, Wolverhampton was receiving their first batch of 72-seater Weymann bodied Guy Arab Vs to displace trolleybuses.
888DUK returned to Wolverhampton again in February 1965 for about a week. Its visit was likely to have been the precursor to the Transport Department buying a batch of Strachan bodied Guy Arab Vs that same year. A poor decision in terms of an investment, as the bodies were of inferior quality, suffering structural failings after a few short years. In 1966/67, WCT went on to buy more Strachan bodied Guy Arabs, some of which only gave 5-years service.
Cut a long story short, 888DUK, eventually ended up being purchased by independent, Harper Brothers of Heath Hayes, Staffordshire in circa 1966.
The bus became known by Harper crews as the ‘Old Grey Mare’. 888DUK was eventually painted into Harper’s pale green and cream livery, but the nick name stuck. The vehicle lasted until October 1974, when Harper’s sold out their bus operations to the Midland Red, who immediately withdrew the bus from service and disposed of it.
The picture shows 888DUK in a very presentable condition on Cannock Bus station c1966. 888DUK may have been on loan to Harpers, or is seen just after it had been purchased by them.
A bit of plagiarism here from one of my favourite bands for the title, anyone care to guess the artist and song??
This is a picture that I’ve been meaning to take for a long time, but ‘Tower Bridge’ is about a 45 minute walk from where I work and I’m not a big fan of the London underground (although judging by some of my contacts photos of the tunnels and such like I should reacquaint myself with it ;-)), however about a month ago I decide to bite the bullet and take a trip there after work.
I took a two shots of light trails one was from the north bank and the other from the south bank; the one that’s been posted is from the south bank.
I tried a few exposures but wanted to do a really long exposure mainly so I could remove the people from the picture (this was during the backend of rush hour), so I used a ‘Lightcraft Workshop ND500’; filters have been causing of a little debate on one of my contacts photos. I think that the ‘LCW ND500’ is very good value for money and until I can find some cash for a better filter it fills the void nicely.
Then main reason why I posted this shot and not the one from the north bank was because of the leaf on the floor; I know that it’s small detail but I kind of like it…….. the simple things eh!!!!
My entry into the recoding images group, theme night time
****As a side note the LCW ND500 claims not to cause any colour cast........ but I've read that it can cause pictures to appear cold (a bias towards blue), and one of adjustments that I had to make in pp on this was to shift the white balance as the image was a little cold, but this was minimal!

A fun find in a ladies loo. The doors and walls are all chalk boards and chalk is supplied. Visitors to the loo are encouraged to leave their mark. Looking at the back end of an elephant amused me:) It reminded me of the old music hall song that I remember my Auntie Doreen singing when I was a kid. Here it is sung by actor Jeremy Irons www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsNIaHgH4do The song probably dates around 1930.
Toen het bouwverbod op de polder tegenover het Rietveld Schröderhuis werd opgeheven, kocht Truus Schröder de grond ertegenover. Zo kon zij haar nieuwe uitzicht zelf bepalen.
Rietveld ontwierp daarvoor een rij met vier huizen (1931) en een blok met zes appartementen (1934) in de stijl van Het Nieuwe Bouwen. Het ontwerp voorzag in ruime lichtinval en optimaal contact
met de buitenlucht. Daarom hebben de huizen brede doorlopende raam-stroken, balkons op de verdiepingen en heeft elke kamer een deur naar buiten.
Opvallend is het kleurgebruik. De bakstenen gevels zijn wit gepleisterd. Binnen gebruikte Rietveld pastelkleuren. Daarvoor bleef hij ook in de latere interieurs die hij ontwierp voorkeur houden.

I had one of these but mine was seafoam blue with cream top.. Loved that car except when driving on the high level bridge over the shipping channel in Corpus Christi, TX.. The wind would catch under the fins in the back and it felt like the backend was losing traction.. Really unusual feeling..
On a glorious California day in March 1997 Amador Central Baldwin #10 has been relegated to the stand by locomotive as it Basques in the warm sunshine amidst the blooming trees, having recently been replaced by a pair of SW1200s, the AMC 10 will live to fight on for a few more years after the EMDs leave and the railroad is briefly reborn under the Amador Foothills name.

I went for a walk along the prom at Bexhill, you can see the backend of the rain clouds as the sun came out.
A bit of a gray day this week when we were down at the beach so I made this kind of high contrast photo.
Della had a health concern this past week. I saw some blood on her back end after she went to the bathroom at the beach but no blood in her stool. When we got home as I was cleaning her up blood started pouring out from her backend. The trouble is she is so furry it was hard to tell where it was coming from. Of course it was after hours and the vet office where I work was closed. Fortunately I have a key and went down and got come clot it powder to stop the bleeding.
Della seemed fine through all this. The next morning I brought her to the office and we shaved all around her butt area. The doctors really couldn’t see anything the matter. So my husband took her for a walk, she seemed fine, had a normal stool and no blood anywhere He brought her back so the doctors could do a rectal exam.
My husband was holding her head and I was at the rear end with the doctor.
The doctor had just said it looks a little swollen by her anal gland and as he gently put some pressure from the outside of the area it exploded in his face and all over the wall. I suppose I shouldn’t have laughed but it was really funny and the doctor was laughing too. What wasn’t funny was the amount of blood coming out. He then did a rectal exam and said he didn’t feel any masses but the amount of blood was very unusual.
Della has never in all her life had an anal gland issue. She was not scooting or licking at herself. So the plan is antibiotics for a week and recheck her to see how things go. She is not eating as well as she used to so I am concerned the antibiotics are going to upset her stomach.
Keep your fingers crossed for my old girl. She was a real trooper through all the examining, shaving and washing.

Knowing about the moderate risk of severe storms on the eastern side of Colorado and the western side of Nebraska, I had planned out the day perfectly to intercept the back side of the cells about 4pm Mountain time.
Now into Yuma County Colorado, this was when all the action began. Tornado warning was in effect just a few miles north of Hwy 34 and I had a good sight on the backend of this developing severe storm.
From Fort Morgan Colorado via Hwy 34/6 back to Nebraska was my route back behind the developing cells. To honestly say... I wasn't disappointed. The open cloudscapes of Colorado are a photographers dream.

This Optare Solo SR is one of three in the fleet that were new to the company. Here we find it on the once a day diversion into Bryn Melyn section of Llynclys, whilst operating a 72 Oswestry to Llanfyliin. This diagram these day is worked off the backend of the Oswestry Town Service and often sees decker operation and the usual driver at the helm, but on Good Friday 2019 a smaller bus is utilised.

The new flickr, good and bad feedback it seems with more on the negative is what I'm hearing. I don't mind the new look but if you're going to make this big of a change then make sure you do it properly. The new interface has a lot of quirks still. It seems like only the front end got a major overhaul but the backend is still the old flickr.
And it appears not all know about the new pricing model. What I cannot fully understand yet is why I was charged $24.95 recently, which is the same amount I've been paying since 2008 for a year of Flickr Pro Account. According to the help pages there are no more Flickr Pro accounts but it seems like my account is still PRO. I don't mind the free account if I have to follow the new pricing model, which is quite stupid in my own opinion. Not sure how they came up with that, unless they just want the majority to go free. Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks.
