The classic Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) by the Norvegian-American sociologist and economist Thorstein Veblen is certainly still relevant today, perhaps even more so than a century ago, and not only in the western world...

The Knox-class frigate USS Vreeland (FF-1068) is approaching the USS Mount Baker (AE-34) for a replenishment at sea. Seen operating in the Eastern Mediterranean as part of the US Sixth Fleet in the summer of 1982.
The 4,260-ton full load Knox-class were designed as anti-submarine frigates and 46 were built, starting in 1965. The last was decommissioned from US service in 1994. They were 133.5m long, with a beam of 14.25m and a draught of 7.6m. Two 1,200 psi boilers provided steam for a Westinghouse geared turbine on a single shaft, producing 35,000 shp and a top speed of 27 kt.
She is seen after modifications, having the so-called 'hurricane bow' which was designed to help reduce heavy seas coming in and damaging the weapon systems forward of the bridge.
The ships' primary armament was the eight-round Mk 112 ASROC launcher seen just in front of the bridge. One full reload for the launcher was available. In front of the ASROC launcher is a standard (for the time) single-barrel 5-inch/54-calibre Mk 42 gun. The ship also carried four fixed torpedo tubes for 324mm Mk 46 anti-submarine torpedoes.
On the stern, Vreeland had been upgraded with a Mk 25 eight-cell Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile launcher. Just forward of that was a hangar and flight-deck for a Kaman SH-2 Sea Sprite LAMPS 1 helicopter.
Vreeland was launched in 1969 and stricken from the US Navy in 1992, going on to serve the Greek Navy for a further seven years.

A case of third time lucky. The previous two passenger trains were seen in dull conditions, but I decided to stick around & grabbed this train in lovely early evening light. It does seem rather strange to see just a 4-car EMU on my local line these days!

Resident Class 31 D5631 approaches Dead Man's Hill on the North Norfolk Railway, with the 1400 Sheringham to Holt demonstration goods train - 06/04/2024.
Another enjoyable day spent back up at the North Norfolk Railway, this time for the 60th Anniversary of Closure event.
This train was my number one photographic target of the day, as I had never seen the demonstration goods train in action before.
I didn't think I had much chance of a sunny shot to be honest, as the cloud cover proved to be very stubborn to clear on this visit to the North Norfolk coast. However, I did get a bit of weak sun at this spot, just as the train passed by.

Class 31 D5631 stands at Sheringham on the North Norfolk Railway, prior to departure with the 1500 Sheringham to Holt - 21/07/2022.
We had a rather eventful, but nevertheless enjoyable day on the North Norfolk Railway.
Originally, I didn't think we would be able to come here as Lorraine had planned to meet friends near Ely. However, they jumped at the chance to visit the North Norfolk Railway when we suggested we meet here instead.
Therefore, I was really looking forward to a day travelling behind this lovely locomotive & the visiting Class 25 D7659. We parked at Holt & decided to change trains at Weybourne to catch the Class 25 back to Holt. However, when we alighted to change trains at Weybourne, we were told the 'Rat' had a problem & would not be running today. Therefore, we decided to jump back on & continue through to Sheringham.
We then had a run to Weybourne & back on this loco hauled train & the replacement Class 101 DMU, before stopping at Sheringham for lunch.
We caught the DMU to Weybourne, before we returned to Sheringham behind the Class 31. We decided to take this train back to Holt & call it a day. However, there was one final catch. On arrival at Weybourne, we were told the Class 101 DMU had failed at Holt & the crew were trying to get it running again & then limp the stricken train back to Weybourne. The crew did indeed eventually get the DMU going again & it made it back to Weybourne, so we could finally get back to Holt.
It was a shame about the 'Rat', as it was my last chance to see it in action before it returned to Derbyshire, but these things happen with heritage traction & despite the fun & games, we all really enjoyed the day.

Model is my amazing friend Rob Woodcox.
This was taken during my trip to Detroit in July, we spent the afternoon exploring St.Agnes school and when we came to this large room with the chair in the corner, I knew that Rob and his wonderful outfit would be the perfect match for my concept.
I wish I could have spent a whole week in Detroit exploring all the amazing locations that we saw while we drove around the city.
Next time!
