I got my computer back from the fix-it guys yesterday and restored over a thousand photos from the iPhotos backups on my external drive. Oh bliss. I have now got a replacement copy of Lightroom 5.7.1 and am now adding in over 4,000 RAW photos.

This was taken last September, processed then and stored on my external drive.

Zürich, Bürkliplatz, Switzerland

This was my first time in the presence of these beautiful creatures! I couldn't tell which was the male and the female of this Burrowing Owl pair, but I spent some time watching the one of the left yawn, and yawn, and yawn. And then they worked to groom each other. Here the one of the right has moved closer and in front of the other who gives me the "eye" behind its mate.

Calling for Backup - A Bald Eagle calls to its mate for some backup to defend its nesting territory.

This image was taken 5 years ago in Alaska. The Bald Eagles against the stunning mountain scenery evoked a sense of freedom and majesty that I fondly remember. Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th!

You get two of almost everything, 2 eyes, 2 hands, 2 legs but only one of the most important things...one brain, one heart. Seems like there should be a backup if hearts can break and minds can get lost.

Hereios is having a parade of cameras

If you believe fully in yourself you won't even think about having a backup plan If you really know in your heart that you are doing the right thing, there will be no doubt. If there is doubt, then either it is the wrong path or you are not ready. Your fear is what makes you doubt yourself, and it is this fear that you must overcome first. This fear makes you look for security. The need of a safety net says that you don't believe that you can make it. That creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. If there's no question in your mind then you will proceed as though you've already made it.

85010 820419 Wolves

A scene very much from the early eighties with a roarer arriving at Wolverhampton with a train from either Manchester or Liverpool to the south formed of Mkll PV coaching stock.

85010 was one of forty such engines and were fairly common on such workings in place of Class 86's and could be seen anywhere from London to Glasgow on the WCML.

19th April 1982

We really dodged a bullet with our recent winter storm. They had predicted an ice storm with up to a half an inch of ice. But we ended up getting mostly sleet and a couple of inches of snow. The last time we had ice at a half inch, our power was out for almost four days....and we spent the first three in our bitterly cold house, desperately wishing we had a backup option. Every space heater in the area had been snapped up by the time we could get to the store, but on day four we managed to find this kerosene heater. And wouldn't you know, about four hours after we set it up and finally got warm....the power came back on.

At any rate, we didn't take any chances this time, and had our heater set up and ready for action before the event. I'm pleased to say we didn't need it, but as there is another storm on the horizon for the end of the week....this thing is staying right where it is for now. 😊

One of Nyíregyháza's, and pretty much north-eastern Hungary's only two Ikarus 415s, EWS-831 leaving Halmosbokor hamlet behind in the last rays of the early-winter sun.

These two units (the other being EWS-834) are only used as backups now, so it's not that easy to bump into them. During the summer both of them were replacing some Volvos and Credos under maintenance for a solid week or so, but unfortunately we just missed them with Michał (we had more luck with 200 series in the area).

This picture would've been possible without the help of Tamás, I hope that he will also reveal some hits from this rather pleasant day very soon! :)

Sorry, I didn’t get out this morning. It’s a good thing I keep backups.

Hopefully all my uploads from here on out will be new content. This was taken last summer at the Italian Gathering in Columbus, Ohio.

The Blade Runner Sim, Cloud Lake

Well, I picked the wrong spot this morning. I went to Madison County Lake instead of Monte Sano State Park. Mostly because I was able to sleep a little longer. It was a beautiful sunrise on the drive to the lake.

But there was nothing happening on the lake. That’s twice I’ve seen it like that. It’s like all the critters have a secret rhythm and decided they’re all sleeping in today. Who knows.

It’s a good thing I have a backup plan. Here’s the sunrise on Monte Sano from yesterday.

Always good to have a backup....

Commander Krik is forced to have backup on his mission. There is a possibility that clone commander Spark might be held captive, which would lead Krik into a trap. Because of the dense foliage speeders and turbo tanks wouldn't be able to make it. The danger is high. No time for errors...

I was originally going to take this picture inside my Chancellor's Office MOC, but realized that there wasn't enough space for it.

Class 52s Nos. D1010 Western Campaigner and D1048 Western Lady move off Bath Road depot, Bristol, in readyness to follow the "Western Tribute" railtour on its way from Swansea to Plymouth. These locomotives were standing by in case either D1013 or D1023 were to fail whilst hauling the special train on Saturday 26th February 1977.

See this shot in David Hayes's photostream showing the same locomotives, but a little earlier:
