La largeur des essieux est différente entre les voies russes et mongoles d'une part, et chinoises d'autre part. Le transmongolien part de Russie pour arriver en Chine en passant par la Mongolie. Les bogies sont donc changées à la frontière entre la Mongolie et la Chine.
Les wagons sont surélevés par de gros vérins, puis les bogies défilent sous les wagons. Les voyageurs restent dans le train pendant toute l'opération !

The Spirit of Change celebration, held on September 20, 2013, brought together Oxfam board members, partners from the South and change makers from across Canada.
The event showcased 50 years of Oxfam’s work and celebrated recipients of the Spirit of Change awards.
A day out in London of a Saturday morning requires planning. Jools arranged for shopping to be dropped on Thursday afternoon, meaning we did not have to go on Saturday morning.
Then setting alarms so that we got to Priory station at half seven ready for the quarter to eight train.
Jools went to get tickets, and I went to the corner greasy spoon to get sausage and bacon sticks and brews. So that when the train rolled at twenty to, we climbed on board, sitting at a table and starting on our breakfast.
Leaving at that time meant it was already light, so we could see the countryside rolling by until we got to Ashford, then flash by once we got on the high speed line, zooming up to Ebbsfleet and then under the Thames into Essex and on to Stratford.
We got out at Stratford, caught the DLR to the regional station, then changing DLR lines for the trains heading for Lewisham.
At Pudding Mill Lane, where we used to watch steam tours on the Great Eastern Main Line, a new station has been built to allow for the entrances to the Elizabeth Line tunnels, and next door is the Abba theatre.
We have been talking about going, so Jools checks prices for the show, and amazed that some are nearly £200! Prices next June are £99, but still for seeing a video recreation rather than the band themselves.
The train rattled on, turning south where the old Bryant and May match factory used to be. The building is still there but seems to be business units or flats now.
Passing the old factory used to be the cue for my Granddad to get us standing up and gathering our coats and bags as we were five minutes from Liverpool Street.
Instead, we took the line south through Bow and towards the crystal towers of Docklands and Canary and other Wharves.
I texted Graham to say we were on our way, and he replied to say he was 5 minutes from Canary Wharf. I said we would be there in a few minutes, maybe we would meet there?
Through Poplar and into the 21st century hellscape that is Docklands, we get off on platform 1, and our next train is waiting on platform 2. Jools walks over, I lag behind, scouring the platform for Graham.
Then as I reach the doors, and the electronic bleeps announcing departure, Graham reaches us and comes on board.
Doors close and the train departs, taking tight turns around the skyscrapers before heading to the river, and after Mudschute, dives under the river for Greenwich.
We get off at Cutty Sark, so named after a tea clipper, and find the way out signed to a flight of 125 steps to street level.
I sigh and follow Jools and Graham up, regretting my life choices.
But I made it to the top, and a short walk we called in at a coffee shop for a refill and wait for the Cutty Sark itself to open.
Although the story of the Cutty Sark and the other tea clippers is very interesting, I wanted to come for purely photographic reasons, to snap the prow and the glazed roof that protects the old dry dock.
We pay to go on, and enter the ship, going up two flights of steps onto the deck, where the masts and rigging tower high above. Remember, sailors used to have to climb up these and gather in sails, and all weathers and on all seas, no matter their state.
Hardy buggers.
Cabins were small and on deck, as all space down below was for cases of tea only, to keep them dry and in perfect condition.
Then down through the visitor centre to the bottom of the dry dock, and the copper bottom of the ship, suspended so that shots looking along and up the prow could be taken.
Which I took plenty of.
Above the roofs of the shops and pubs,the tower of the parish church, St Alphage, Greenwich, which is an usual dedication, but turns out this was the site where the titular Saint was martyred in the 11th century.
Graham had never found it open, but I had checked online and it was due to open at eleven, ten minutes ago. So we walked towards the church, dodging through the traffic and arrived at the church gate.
The south doors were closed, as were the north, so I began to doubt myself. But a nearby sight indicated that the main entrance was on the south side, so we went back round.
And one of the doors was indeed ajar.
Bingo.
Bango.
Bongo.
We climbed the steps and went in, and were met my quiet the most friendly and informative volunteer I think I have ever met.
Interesting details were pointed out, and those hidden were shown, including the location of the font where King Henry XIII was christened, and the last surviving part of the second church's wall.
The church, which is after Hawksmoor, is a delight, though gutted during the blitz, so most glass is now lost, though the Victorian is of good quality.
We were here for the Mars display in the Painted Hall at the Greenwich Naval College.
We have been here before, but some 15 years back at least, so a return was overdue, though the sumptuous painting would be partly hidden by the 7m model of the planet Mars.
We have seen the artist's Moon work at the Maritime Museum nearby, but also in Denver back in 2017. But seemed to have missed his "Earth", I'm sure it'll come round again.
We walked through the college grounds, into the painted hall, exchanged vouchers for tickets and climbed the two sets of stairs into the hall itself.
The view opened out, and the first impression was amazing, Mars at the far end, suspended and slowly turning, with the painted hall as a background. And a helmeted Mar looking down at the planet named after him, a great juxtaposition.
We took and hour to take it all in, then talked about going to the Chapel, which we were not sure was open.
At the base of the stairs, we found the entrance to a passageway, with sign pointing to the Chapel, could this lead all the way under the formal gardens?
Yes. Yes it could. And did.
Up spiral staircases to the lobby, then up a formal stairway flanked by statues of Faith, Hope, Charity and Meekness, into the church, a delight, without much in the way of painting to match the hall opposite, but stunning all the same, and few folks had made it over, so we soaked up the building and details, and fittings.
Time was getting on, and thoughts turned to food. So, we left and headed out to the narrow path beside the river, where high tide meant water was lapping at our feet, but we powered back towards the High Road, and the cluster of pubs and other eateries.
Beside the Cutty Sark was the Gipsy Moth pub, but that was full, so we walked on and found a table beside the fire in the Spanish Galleon, a Shepherd Neame's pub, but they had tables and a great looking menu.
We got pints of Whitstable Bay, and ordered burgers each, all in a great end to the trip where we did all we set out to do, and now rounded it off with a pub lunch.
We ate the burgers with pints of Bishop's Finger, now a timid 5.2% rather than the 7% in days of yore, but still full of flavour.
Time to go home. Back to Cutty Sark DLR station, down in the lift this time, and straight on a train heading north. Change at Canary Wharf, where our train to Stratford was also waiting.
We said goodbye to Graham, hopped on, and the doors closed, so we moved off north.
Back at Stratford, down the steps to the concourse, and straight onto a train going to the International Station, we got on, and so were on the platforms for Kent a full ten minutes before the train was due.
When it came, there were a few seats, so I got to sit and rest by back after the 11,000 steps done, so while darkness fell outside, I kept up to date with the football, Norwich 2-2 with Luton at half time, but scoring twice in the second half to win 4-2, and make it 12 goals scored in three games over seven days.
By the time final whistle went, we were back home, and supping fresh brews as we rested, taking our shoes off.
A brilliant day out.
The West Ham fans we had seen on the DLR were going to their home game against Arsenal, which was on TV at half five. Not the game they were hoping for, as Arsenal were 5-2 by halftime, though no more goals scored in the second half, but worthy of that first half to have watched.

Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the River Leven, Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line, she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, at the end of a long period of design development for this type of vessel, which ended as steamships took over their routes. She was named after the short shirt of the fictional witch in Robert Burns' poem Tam o' Shanter, first published in 1791.
After the big improvement in the fuel efficiency of steamships in 1866, the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 gave them a shorter route to China, so Cutty Sark spent only a few years on the tea trade before turning to the trade in wool from Australia, where she held the record time to Britain for ten years.[5] Continuing improvements in steam technology early in the 1880s meant that steamships also came to dominate the longer sailing route to Australia, and the ship was sold to the Portuguese company Ferreira and Co. in 1895 and renamed Ferreira. She continued as a cargo ship until purchased in 1922 by retired sea captain Wilfred Dowman, who used her as a training ship operating from Falmouth, Cornwall. After his death, Cutty Sark was transferred to the Thames Nautical Training College, Greenhithe, in 1938 where she became an auxiliary cadet training ship alongside HMS Worcester. By 1954, she had ceased to be useful as a cadet ship and was transferred to permanent dry dock at Greenwich, London, for public display.
Cutty Sark is listed by National Historic Ships as part of the National Historic Fleet (the nautical equivalent of a Grade 1 Listed Building). She is one of only three remaining intact composite construction (wooden hull on an iron frame) ships from the nineteenth century, the others being the clipper City of Adelaide, now in Port Adelaide, South Australia, and the warship HMS Gannet in Chatham. The beached skeleton of Ambassador, of 1869 lying near Punta Arenas, Chile is the only other significant remnant of this construction method.
The ship has been damaged by fire twice in recent years, first on 21 May 2007 while undergoing conservation. She was restored and was reopened to the public on 25 April 2012.[6] Funders for the Cutty Sark conservation project include: the Heritage Lottery Fund, the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Sammy Ofer Foundation, Greenwich Council, Greater London Authority, The Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Berry Brothers & Rudd, Michael Edwards and Alisher Usmanov.[7]
On 19 October 2014 she was damaged in a smaller fire.[8]
Cutty Sark whisky derives its name from the ship. An image of the clipper appears on the label, and the maker formerly sponsored the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race. The ship also inspired the name of the Saunders Roe Cutty Sark flying boat.
Cutty Sark has a registered length of 212.5 feet (64.77 m), with a depth of hold of 21 feet (6.40 m) and a net tonnage of 921. The hull is one of the sharpest of all the tea clippers: she has a coefficient of under deck tonnage[a] of 0.55, compared to Thermopylae at 0.58.[1]: 195–199, 247 Cutty Sark's prismatic coefficient, another measure of hull sharpness, is 0.628; this allows comparison with US-built clippers studied by Howard I. Chapelle.[b][c] After water-line length, the prismatic coefficient is the next most important determinant of potential hull speed.[17] Unladen, or with a cargo of low density, ballast was required for stability. For example, when she was loaded with wool, 200 tons of ballast was carried. The largest wool cargo she ever carried was 900 tons' weight (the total of ballast and cargo of 1,100 tons is consistent with the estimated deadweight cargo capacity of 1,135 tons at 20-foot draught). The largest tea cargo carried was 615 tons' weight. Conversely, a dense cargo allowed full use of the deadweight capacity: if loaded with coal, she would usually carry 1,100 tons.
The maximum logged speed for Cutty Sark was 17.5 knots (32.4 km/h; 20.1 mph). Her greatest recorded distance in noon to noon sights was 363 nautical miles (672 km; 418 mi) averaging 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph), although she recorded 2,164 nautical miles (4,008 km; 2,490 mi)[25] in six days, which given the weather over the whole period implied she had achieved over 370 nmi (690 km; 430 mi) some days.[26] By comparison, Thermopylae's best recorded 24-hour distance was 358 nmi (663 km; 412 mi). On another occasion she recorded 3,457 nmi (6,402 km; 3,978 mi) in 11 days.[23] Cutty Sark was considered to have the edge in a heavier wind, and Thermopylae in a lighter wind.
The ship was named after Cutty-sark, the nickname of the witch Nannie Dee in Robert Burns's 1791 poem Tam o' Shanter. The ship's figurehead, the original of which has been attributed to carver Fredrick Hellyer of Blackwall, is a stark white carving of a bare-breasted Nannie Dee with long black hair holding a grey horse's tail in her hand.[27] In the poem she wore a linen sark (Scots: a short chemise or undergarment[28]), that she had been given as a child, which explains why it was cutty, or in other words far too short. The erotic sight of her dancing in such a short undergarment caused Tam to cry out "Weel done, Cutty-sark", which subsequently became a well-known catchphrase. Originally, carvings by Hellyer of the other scantily clad witches followed behind the figurehead along the bow, but these were removed by Willis in deference to 'good taste'. Tam o' Shanter riding Meg was to be seen along the ship's quarter. The motto "Where theres a will is a way" was inscribed along the taffrail,[29] with variable spaces enabling also the reading Where there(')s a Willis away. The Tweed, which acted as a model for much of the ship which followed her, had a figurehead depicting Tam o' Shanter.

“Change is never easy, you fight to hold on, and you fight to let go.”
First of all, this is the first photo me and little Mac have taken since we started this album way back in April. I have to thank her so much because if she hadn't gone out with me the first time back then, I wouldn't be pursuing this now. Today I also remembered why she is my favorite person to shoot, all my friends are natural models, but she will always be the one I adventured with first, and that will make every shoot with her special. And she also does crazy things with me... like wake up at five AM to catch the five forty five sun rise, when not many people would do that.
Many of these photos would have worked for what in the end I think I was trying to portray. I also feel like Mac and I also feel this more than a lot of my friends, being from out of state. While her family moved to Kansas last year, her friends and life- where she grew up- is back in New Hampshire. That is her home. And mine is back in Minnesota. But then we have another life in Kansas, a completely different life. They're both separate, and we would never want to combine them. But at the same time it's hard. We'll always be missing something, but we're becoming better at it. :)

Today, environmental problems are global issues that cannot be ignored.
This problem is not the responsibility of some people. awareness of the
importance of keeping the environment must exist in our lives.[image:

2 new condo buildings going up on the waterfront ... when I'm old and gray I want the top one. Then I'll go out on the balcony and yell at people walking in Marina Park to "get off my lawn!" :)
Here are some new photos from tonight after a change of outfits. I really love these......don't you??? xoxo
Hansens flødeis (Hansen ice-cream) changed the name of the ice 'Eskimo' to 'O'Payo'. Same ice, new name.
The ice cream was called 'Eskimo' since 1922 - not only by Hansens but several producers had an Eskimo ice.
The danish people called the inhabitants of Greenland for 'Eskimoes', but the word 'Eskimo' means something like "raw meat eater".
To day it's not political correct to use the name 'Eskimo', so the company changed the name - to the name of the chocolate they use.
And other companies do the same now.
Change is the essence of life.Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become. This applies to everything including nature.
The changing of guard in Athens is very camera friendly. The ceremony occurs several time a day. And the soldiers move in slow motion.
ok so the title has nothing to do with the pic... but i wanted to say that..
I GOT A REBEL XSi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ive been dreaming about it for sooo long and i finally have it!
i hope my photography improves from now on :)

Known for his masterful audible play calling, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning #18 changes the play as rain falls during the the third quarter of their NFL football game against the San Diego Chargers Sunday, Nov. 11, 2007 in San Diego. The Chargers won 23-21.
Two of the NFL’s most successful franchises in the past four years met when the defending Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts made their first visit to San Diego since 1999 to take on the Chargers on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
The Chargers lead the all-time series over the Colts, 13-9, and the teams split the last two meetings, both in Indianapolis. The Colts won 34-31 in overtime in 2004 and the Chargers returned the favor, winning 26-17 in 2005 to end Indianapolis’ 13-0 start.
Avoir un enfant pose questions, parfois les plus intimes. Dès le début, avec le test de grossesse, puis avec l ‘écographie, la certitude que “quelqu’un est là” nous amène à sentir quelque chose d immense et d’inconnu. Ce sentiment nous effraie, nous fait prendre conscience de la fragilité et de la responsabilité de cette nouvelle vie.
Nous n’avons pas de réponses, mais un petit coeur qui bat, une partie de nous, de nos craintes et de nos espoirs.
Tener un hijo nos cuestiona, a veces en lo mas profundo. Desde el comienzo con el test de embarazo y luego con la ecografía, la certeza de que alguien esta ahí nos lleva a sentir algo inmenso y desconocido. Un sentimiento que nos asusta, que nos hace tomar conciencia de la fragilidad y de la responsabilidad de esta nueva vida.
