Fingal Bay is the eastern-most suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[5] The only population centre is the township of the same name, which itself is named after the adjacent, small, semi-circular bay.[10] At the 2011 census, the population of the town was 1,503.[1]
Except for the township, most of Fingal Bay is included in the Tomaree National Park, which includes forested areas, coastal scrubland, beaches and most of the Fingal headland. The suburb does not include the bay itself.[2]
Fingal Bay is about 1.75 km (1.1 mi) across at its widest point and 1.3 km (0.8 mi) from the mouth to the beach.[4] The northeastern head of the bay is the Fingal headland, which is connected to the mainland via Fingal Spit, a sand spit about 900 m (2,953 ft) long.[4] Waters to the northeast of the spit are known as "Fly Roads".[11] Crossing between the mainland and the headland along the spit is considered dangerous.[12] According to a sign on the beach, people have died crossing the spit, which can be covered by breaking waves at times. The south-western head of the bay is Fingal Head, which is located southeast of the town. Between the two heads, the mouth is over 1 km (0.6 mi) wide.[4] The bay includes a sandy beach about 1.9 km (1.2 mi) long.[4]

Calrailfans at Alta, California, 30 Sept 2017
The Calrailfans Donner Pass campout wound up at Alta the weekend of 28 Sept-1 Oct 2017. The planned location in Gold Run didn't work out, so it turned into an Altafest.
Due to other commitments, I was unable to camp out, but did head up the hill with the dogs for a few hours on Saturday afternoon.
UP provided us with 5 trains while I was there.
First up was the Super Fruit or Salad Shooter or whatever you want to call the perishables train that runs from the San Joaquin Valley to North Platte. As we often see it, it was hilariously overpowered with 2 Tier 4s on the point, a GEVO on the rear and a dozen or so refers in between. We shot it snaking around the curves east of the Alta grade crossing.
Following the Super Fruit, with the same amount of power on about 100 empty covered hoppers was an empty grain train that I shot at the crossing.
#5 more or less snuck up on us The CZ has been running late due to UP track work on the Moffat Line in Colorado. It had a UP track geometry car on the rear.
The lineup said that another train was following #5 down the mountain and the dogs and I hiked a half mile east to Towle, the former site of a lumber mill where UP still has a crossover and siding. Alta was in shade by this time, but Towle still had sunlight. The ZG2OA came around the corner in great sunlight with 4 units on a relatively light train. This train usually leaves many of its cars in Sparks, but keeps its power.
The lineup also had an eastbound that was on the #1 track between Bowman to Colfax and as I walked back from Towle, the signal just east of the Alta crossing was on, indicating that it was cleared for the eastbound. I got into position and waited and after a while, and eastbound stack train did show up, working hard and going slow on the grade. All 3 lead units were running, but it sounded like the second of 2 DPUs was not running, which could account for the lack of speed.
After that, it was time to head west into the sunset.
Yesterday at Blogher '10 I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite photographers, Stephanie Roberts. She asked me what I liked to shoot and I told her I'd been having trouble focusing. She suggested I start a 365. When she did hers, she was able to look back and see how much she loved documentary photography.
If you've been following me over the years, you know this is something I'm afraid of due to my ability to start projects and never finish them. It occured to me while we were talking that if I ever plan to really take this seriously, I have to learn to commit. Force myself to.
So, here we go! A photo a day for one year.

Letter from Lawrence Alma-Tadema to Mr Frith, 12 March 1896
Alma-Tadema laments a commitment in Birmingham, preventing him from voting at his London private member’s club, the Athenaeum. Although the identity of the recipient is unconfirmed, it is likely to be the artist William Powell Frith (1819-1909). Convivial and out-going, Alma-Tadema was an active member of several London clubs. At the Athenaeum he and fellow painter Edward Poynter (1836-1919) renovated the décor of several of the rooms.
Transcript of Letter from Lawrence Alma-Tadema to Mr Frith, 12 March 1896:
My dear Mr. Frith
I should like nothing better than
to vote for you next Monday
Unfortunately I am on duty
in Birmingham on that day
I shall try to run round at the
Athenaeum to put my name
down and show some good will
at least
Yours sincerely
L Alma Tadema
Laurel and Hardy were a comedy double act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. The team was composed of English thin man Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American fat man Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). They became well known during the late 1920s through the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy and childlike friend of the pompous bully Hardy. The duo's signature tune is known variously as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos". It was played over the opening credits of their films and has become as emblematic of the duo as their bowler hats.
Prior to emerging as a team, both actors had well-established film careers. Laurel had appeared in over 50 films while Hardy had been in more than 250 productions. The two comedians had previously worked together as cast members on the film The Lucky Dog in 1921. However, they were not a comedy team at that time and it was not until 1926 that they appeared in a movie short together, when both separately signed contracts with the Hal Roach film studio. Laurel and Hardy officially became a team in 1927 when they appeared together in the silent short film Putting Pants on Philip. They remained with the Roach studio until 1940 and then appeared in eight "B" movie comedies for 20th Century Fox and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1941 to 1945. After finishing their movie commitments at the end of 1944, they concentrated on performing in stage shows and embarked on a music hall tour of England, Ireland, and Scotland. In 1950, before retiring from the screen, they made their last film, a French-Italian co-production called Atoll K.
They appeared as a team in 107 films, starring in 32 short silent films, 40 short sound films, and 23 full-length feature films. They also made 12 guest or cameo appearances that included the Galaxy of Stars promotional film of 1936.[5] On December 1, 1954, the pair made one American television appearance when they were surprised and interviewed by Ralph Edwards on his live NBC-TV program This Is Your Life. Since the 1930s, the works of Laurel and Hardy have been released in numerous theatrical reissues, television revivals, 8-mm and 16-mm home movies, feature-film compilations, and home videos. In 2005, they were voted the seventh-greatest comedy act of all time by a UK poll of fellow comedians. The official Laurel and Hardy appreciation society is known as The Sons of the Desert which was named after a fictitious fraternal society featured in the Laurel and Hardy film of the same name.
Basel SBB railway station (known as Bahnhof Basel SBB, Centralbahnhof, or Schweizer Bahnhof in German) is the central railway station in the city of Basel. Opened in 1854, and completely rebuilt in 1900-07, it is one of Europe's busiest international border stations. Basel SBB is owned by the Swiss Federal Railways (abbreviated to SBB, CFF, and FFS).
Architect Ludwig Maring was the structure's original architect in the mid-19th century. The 1900-07 remodeling was directed by architects Emil Faesch and Emanuel La Roche and resulted in a Jugendstil/Art Nouveau appearance.

Basel, also known as Bâle in French and Basilea in Italian, is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the Rhine. Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (after Zürich and Geneva), with roughly 178,000 inhabitants within the city municipality limits in the 2020s. The official language of Basel is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, and the main spoken language is the local Basel German dialect.
Basel is commonly considered to be the cultural capital of Switzerland and the city is famous for its many museums, including the first collection of art accessible to the public in the world (1661) and the largest museum of art in Switzerland. The University of Basel, Switzerland's oldest university (founded in 1460), and the city's centuries-long commitment to humanism, have made Basel a safe haven at times of political unrest in other parts of Europe for refugees and dissidents.
