This is my completed Supernova quilt. I call mine a babynova because all of the fabric squares and rectangles were cut at half the original pattern size. The finished quilt measures 26.5" square. It is hand quilted with black perle cotton size 8. This was a wonderfully put together quilt along hosted by the talented Lee of www.freshlypieced.blogspot.com.

Be like a bird. who halting in her flight
On a limb too slight, feels it give way beneath her,
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings
Thanks so much to everyone for the well wishes on Explore. The volume of the response prevented me from replying individually but it is very appreciated. <3 Bec
NHN's pair of GP38-2's hauls their sixteen car train up the runner this afternoon in a fairly intense snow squall. Trains have been short lately, giving a slightly better chance at shooting the southbound before darkness settles. It would be a straight shot to Dover today, although they did come north with 22 gas and 2 steel cars this morning.

DONALD: "I can't wait!" *excited*
I've been living and shooting along the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch for six years now and I've shot every regularly scheduled train except for the nocturnal H58. The second trick local originates out of the yard in Shiremanstown on the Shippensburg Secondary and enters the Lurgan at LG 3. The push-pull train works the customers between there and CP Lees Cross Roads and is usually done work by dawn. One late night after work I heard the crew on the radio say they would be working Lane Enterprises, a plastic pipe manufacturer that gets plastic pellets by covered hopper at LG 35. I also heard the eastbound unit was a former Southern Railway high-hood GP38-2 and it would be running long-hood forward, so I knew that night would be the night I'd stay up and cross this train off my list. The moon was rising into a hazy, humid sky at 4AM as the train stopped just east of the Lane siding. The conductor is walking to the head-end after putting the train back together as the engineer charges up the air and gets ready to head back to the yard.
I shot this from the 10 floor of the Hyatt hotel...this is one of the largest and most morden drawbridges in the world. My main focus here was the Tower in the middle that controls all functions.
The new 17th Street Causeway Bridge in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was constructed along the alignment of the previous drawbridge. The cost of the transformation was $62 million. The new bridge was completed in 2001 and offers bike lanes, an emergency lane and pedestrian overlooks. While work was carried out on the new permanent bridge, a temporary Dutch style bridge was put in place to maintain traffic flow.
The cost of the permanent bridge was $62 million, and the temporary bridge $6 million. The new bridge increases the vertical clearance from 25ft to 55ft and the channel width from 100ft to 125ft. The 17th Street approach spans are made of twin variable depth - constant slope concrete segmental bridges, built using a combination of balanced cantilever and progressive cantilever construction methods.
Have tried and tested this concept before as well but could not resist trying it again !!!

Well... That is that, the end. Back in July, I visited Northampton for the first time with the idea of getting a shot of the 86/6s during their crew change on the Coatbridge intermodal service. Four months on, I have managed to get shots of the final 11 86/6s leading 4S88 at Northampton.
Freightliner racing green class 86/6 no. 86608 stands during a crew change at Northampton in multiple with Powerhaul liveried classmate no. 86622 working 4S88 Felixstowe to Coatbridge intermodal on 12th November 2020.
The Class 86 locomotives built upon the Class 81-5 however they included some improved features such as quieter fans.
The locos were initially notorious for causing track damage due to a large amount of unsprung mass however, after modifications which led to the fitting of large flexicoil springs, the problems diminished. The initial class 86/0 subclass was limited to 85 mph due to the track-wear issue, those which were fitted with flexicoil springs were renumbered into the 86/2 series and were 100mph capable. 3 test bed class 87s were numbered 86101-103 and were 110mph locos.
Many locomotives have been exported to operator Floyd in Hungary and are used on freight trains over there.
The 86/7 subclass of two locomotives was 110mph capable however they were withdrawn in early 2013 due to lack of GSMR fitment. After several unsuccessful attempts to find work for 86701 and 86702, both locomotives were exported.
The 86/6 subclass is limited to 75mph and are used on Freightliner trains on a daily basis as working pairs.
From 2015 to 2019, 86101, 86401 and 87002 were hired in by GBRf in order to work ECS moves between London Euston and Wembley ICD for the Caledonian Sleeper. After the arrival of mk5 stock to the Caledonian Sleeper, 87002, 86101 and 86401 came off lease. 86101 and 87002 were sold to Locomotive Services Limited in Crewe and 86401 was sold to the West Coast Railway Company and is currently based at Carnforth.

Time is fleeting.
Realize the Self.
Purity of the heart is the gateway to God.
Aspire.
Renounce.
Meditate.
Be good; do good.
Be kind; be compassionate.

Once functional. Lost usefulness. Neglected. Time passes by. Gains maritime beauty in the artful eye.
A classically styled toll-house in Moretonhampstead complete with toll-board. Recorded as the 'Eastern Turnpike House' in the town in the Census returns of 1841 (Jenkinson and Taylor 2009).
Roads were improved everywhere during the 1700s, partly because of greater efforts by the parishes responsible but mainly because of the formation of "Turnpike Trusts". These were authorised by Acts of Parliament and could charge tolls for the building and upkeep of roads in their care. Toll-houses, small cottages with substantial toll-gates across the main road, were strategically placed at intervals along the main road; old toll-houses can still often be recognised by their strategic position looking out in both directions, with a blank window space where the list of charges was displayed.

With limited space and a live-in girlfriend tolerance I think I did a good job. She does like my collection...for now.

I was sick the last few days, delirious with fever mostly. I remember awakening to find the wife with a mirror near my face to see if I could still "fog" it. Another moment where I discovered the cats circling me wondering if it might be Kosher to take a bite. Never turn your back, I felt like a wounded dik-dik on the Serengeti.
Here the last days of this iteration of the Luxicars premises was captured. Soon the entire site would be demolished and a totally new expanded garage and showroom would be built. It's hard to imagine this photo was taken any earlier than 1960, yet by 1964 the building work was complete, so the two images are not far apart in time despite looking so different - see below.
I don't know when Luxicars stopped trading but certainly by the earliest Streetview this was by then a Volkswagen dealer called Ridgeway, and the building had by then been expanded and visually improved from the awful prefabricated concrete disaster that the original new premises had been. By 2015 the premises were unoccupied and by 2018 it was on the verge of being demolished, this time for good!
If some of the cars on view here are very old, the right hand pump with the Shellmex globe is ancient! It must date from the pre-war era by a few years at least.
Part of my take on The Seven Sins. Wrath, perhaps, is the most dangerous of all the sins. In many cases it leads to destruction, not only of ourselves, but of the world around us.
I had to rush photographing her as sun was setting down and all the arrangements (backround, adjusting tripod) took far longer than I expected. After I was editing Gem´s photo I wondered how it look so weird. Then it hit me I put her hands in a wrong way! x´D
It was supposed to be a photo of representing Gem´s new wig which came from ~Tatzuki-san~ (Thanks! ^^ ) but now it´s nothing like that. I totally messed up this... :´P
edit~ ...and bear hood came from formidable long, long ago. Almost forgot to mention it. :3
