I've only just discovered how to create the bokeh effect, and am enjoying experimenting. Everything is very green though, I'm looking forward to getting some more variation in colour.
Just the last corner of the drawing to finish off. It will include a bit of perspective which I hope will lead the eye into the drawing. It will probably take a bit longer than I expected it to bit no point in rushing the work. Drawn with a Staedtler 0.3mm pencil in an A4 cartridge paper sketchbook.
A bit blurry but my camera was in my bag on the floor and we were on the highway with only one chance for one shot and this is what I got through the windshield. There wasn't a safe spot to stop for a better shot. I still like it though.
So I went ahead and tried a forced perspective scene and it came out pretty good. I'll continue doing these a little bit later. So what we have going on here is an AAT with a couple hundred Super Battle Droids closing in on the 501st legion inside a partially destroyed base.

I'm really enjoying these night shots, I've managed to find a few dingy alleys that look pretty cool.
Andrena ilicis. A bit of a mystery bee. It seems to be associated with Woodlands, but other than that I don't have much of a feel for the species. This one was collected in Somerset County Maryland.

I've always had a bit of a fascination for the oddities of railroading, so what makes this seemingly mundane shot fascinating?
This is just some unidentified Norfolk Southern switch job or local seen at the east end of NS' North Kansas City Yard beneath the Block 222 signals at MP S271.9 on NS' (ex NW, new Wabash) Kansas City District. This is joint trackage with BNSF's Brookfield Sub the ex Burlington mainline to Galesburg extending east all the way to Maxwell where the lines separate.
But while all that is interesting enough, the fascinating part to me is just that NS operates this far west. It is as odd as thinking about BNSF having a major terminal in Birmingham, AL and once reaching all the way to Pensacola, FL. Western Class 1s aren't supposed to be in Birmingham and eastern Class 1s aren't supposed to be in Kansas City, the Mississippi is the demarcation after all, isn't it?!
But just like the 1980 acquisition of the Frisco put the Burlington Northern and successor BNSF into those exotic locales so too did the Norfolk and Western's 1964 merger with the Nickel Plate and Wabash extend what would later become NS into places you'd least expect. The Wabash was a 3400 mile system stretching from Buffalo through the imaginary boundaries of St. Louis and Chicago and reaching decidedly 'western' road locations such ad Omaha, Des Moines, and Kansas City. The modest facility here known as Avondale Yard was the Wabash's western anchor and continues to serve as an important gateway for NS to this day.
NS 3228 seen here is a former Southern Railway high hood SD40-2 originally blt. Sep. 1973 and rblt. Jun. 2014 with this low knose 'admiral cab' at Altoona.

Playing with picasa tell me if it looks bad I know the pics a little blurry but it was the best I could do hanging off of a fence with camera in hand
A bit of fun! I saw this fish, all alone in a fish tank, in the entrance hall to Angkor National Museum in Seam Reap, Cambodia. Having visited Angkor Wat, we went to the museum to learn more about the history of temples and religions in Cambodia. I just couldn't resist taking a photograph of such a vibrantly coloured and unusual looking fish. I have no idea what it is but I spent ages trying to freeze the fish's motion to get a passable side view through the glass. I've spent less time getting shots of a single lion or leopard!!
Bit of a weird one this, slightly made my eyes go peculiar when I was reviewing the film but I think I like it! Reflections from Rumney lake.

Pequeña tira sobre como una instrucción no especulativa afecta a un registro marcado con bit venenoso xD
Para los que no entiendan la letra:
Viñeta 1: Soy un registro envenenado U_U

A bit of time to kill this morning so thought I'd look a for a little place in the country. Unfortunately not enough garage space at this one so the search continues :-)
Pair of GP9r's looking a bit faded in their red, white and blue paint scheme. It is said they are painted to represent school colors of two local universities. The units are returning from the run to Chocowinity and entering Wilson yard with interchange and delivery traffic.
Would love to see some of these back at Citybus would look good in the red but for now will have to make do with looking back at last year's pics in their Bluestar & More liveries.
