Taken for my B&W film development class. When I scanned it in it gave it that brownish tint, but that's ok with me.
Green, white and red - perfect colours for the Italian Flag - perfect colours for a great pasta sauce!
Bits and pieces of metal taken "from the top" for Macro Mondays.
Have a good day and week, everyone!

A little photo challenge today was a walk in a local park with the camera in 65:24 crop mode and see what compositions I could find.
A beautiful chestnut that Jen had picked up and which I just had to photograph!

Cobalt drill bits are heavy-duty drill bits.
They are actually only about 6% cobalt in the steel alloy but the cobalt makes the alloy particularly hard and tough. They are useful in drilling into steel.
This one is being used in the construction of my new shed.
For the 125 pictures in 2025 group: number 18. Cobalt

A bit of lockdown fun today.. I can't shoot people so I went back to my roots. Macro! :)

I decided that it would be a good idea to climb up a ski hill in the middle of the Summer. Hammarbybacken. To get a few good shots of the view. Snapped this half-way up. You can see two church towers here. Sofia and Katarina. Also, the old water tower at Mosebacke and to the very left the three crowns on the top of City Hall. I had time to take a few more photos, but then came the rain. And it was a hard rain. These days, you can walk up and down the hill using the new stairs. But that is for sissies, so I found myself in a somewhat muddy situation. Luckily for me, I managed to descend without falling over. I then spent 30 minutes under a roof trying unsuccessfully to hide from the hailstorm that followed the rain. When the hailstorm finally stopped, I decided to bike home in the rain, which was great fun.
my highlight from today was a five second flight by a bittern , a lifer for me and even though I never got a focus lock on its good enough for me .. well pleased
It was a bit haze night to see the cityscape from Twin Peak with the Embarcadero center holiday lights but no "mini star" on top of the Transamerica. I have to wait till this weekend. Do you know when will they turn on the light on Transamerica schedule?
Drive safely in the wet raining day!
Happy 12/12/12 :)
After Baz identified the A7Vs above, I thought it only fitting I give the photograph a bit of a face-lift.
This assessment from Baz aka "diggerdogroff" of the photograph.
"A7V 560 is probably lurking in the rear behind 540, going by its similar, albeit faint, skull and crossbones and complete absence of large front flapped vision ports.
Both 540 and 560 served in Abteilung 1 in the Battle of la Montagne de Reims against the French on 15 July 1918. As both also came through unscathed, everything seems to fit nicely with Brett's superb photo above."
The tank's name was derived from that of its parent organization, Allgemeines Kriegsdepartement, 7. Abteilung, Verkehrswesen.

A wide view of the port and station of Holyhead as the 3S71 Coleham - Coleham with 56078 and 56302 has a hour layover . To the left a TFW CAF 197 unit and a MK 4 set with DVT . Over to the right traffic is gathering for the 1515 ferry to Dublin which takes 3 and a half hours .
In December 2024 the port infrastructure was damaged when two ferries collided with a berth during Storm Darragh making the port unusable .It did not reopen until January 2025 when one of the berths was brought back into use , The port fully reopened in July 2025.

Wolfgangsee is a lake in Austria that lies mostly within the state of Salzburg and is one of the best known lakes in the Salzkammergut resort region. The municipalities on its shore are Strobl, St. Gilgen with the villages of Abersee and Ried as well as the market town of St. Wolfgang in the state of Upper Austria. The town and the lake are named after Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg, who, according to legend, built the first church here in the late 10th century.
The Wolfgangsee stretches about 10.5 kilometres from the northwest to the southeast. It is divided into two parts by a peninsula, called die Enge (the Narrow), situated roughly in the middle of its southern shore opposite St. Wolfgang, where the breadth is no more than 200 metres. The western portion of the lake at St. Gilgen is known as the Abersee.
The lake has an area of about 12.9 to 13.1 km² and is completely surrounded by the Salzkammergut mountain range. On the northern side, the Schafberg is located. A rack railway, the Schafbergbahn leads up to the summit at 1,782 m. Due to the steep shore at its foot only a footpath connects St. Wolfgang and the village of Ried with St. Gilgen along the Falkensteinwand, the set of the Bergpsalmen ("mountain psalms") lyric anthology written by Joseph Viktor von Scheffel in 1870. In the south and southwest of the Wolfgangsee lies the Osterhorngruppe, with heights up to 1,800 metres. Directly south of St. Gilgen rises the Zwölferhorn (1,521 m), which can be visited by cable car.
The settlements around the lake, especially St. Wolfgang and St. Gilgen are popular resort towns, mainly in summer. The Gasthaus Weißes Rössl at St. Wolfgang is the set of the famous 1897 operetta The White Horse Inn by Ralph Benatzky, performed throughout the world and filmed several times. Furthermore the area around the lake was the location of several Heimatfilm movies, suggesting an untouched alpine idyll. As the Wolfgangsee has been the vacation resort of former German chancellor Helmut Kohl for many years, the film director Christoph Schlingensief made the lake a site of his Chance 2000 project of 1998 when he invited "Germany's four million unemployed" to take a bath in the lake and flood Kohl's residence.
He he, there is rather a large drop just behind him here!! He was a little cautious but loved the new found skill of rock hopping along with me across some of the boulders, some with rather large gaps and drops between them!!
Having a bit of fun out on Higgar Top in the Peak District!!
It's his first time out of the city since his arrival in the UK..
He enjoyed it very much!!

Here is the last photo in this little series from a rainy morning long ago captured while waiting for a bit on the platform at Amtrak's BWI Thurgood Marshall Station for Amtrak train 2158 to pick me up for a speedy trip through the fog and mist up to Providence. I'd been east from Alaska to attend an ASLRRA seminar and after wrapping up in Baltimore I piggybacked a little vacation time on and headed north to see my family in New England.
First opened in 1980 and remodeled in 2019 this was the first intercity rail station in the United States built to service an airport. Today it ranks as the 12th busiest of the more than 500 stations Amtrak serves. To learn more check out Amtrak's history of the ground breaking modern depot:

Anyway, as for the train it's just an unidentified MARC Penn Line train head south to Washington Union Station with HHP8 4914 (blt. 2001) shoving on the rear. This is a stark motive power contrast to what was leading the northbound MARC train I also photographed: flic.kr/p/2od6NBY
Only 21 of the 8000 hp electric locomotives were built by Bombardier-Alstom and ordered in 1996 at the same time as the Acelas to support the need for more electric locomotives when the New Haven to Boston segment of the NEC was electrified and came on line in 2000. Amtrak purchased 15 and MARC the other six and while Amtrak's racked up over one million miles each they had relatively short service lives and the last Amtrak one was out of service by 2014 as the new Siemens ACS64s took over. But as of this writing MARCs units have been rebuilt and continue in service.
