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.
From yesterday's US Navy Blue Angels demonstration at Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, CA, during the annual Wings Over Solano event, here are a few passes using my DFA 150-450mm on the K3ii. Polarizer was used to cut sky glare.
Hope you enjoy these.
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.

I couldn't really bend in the right way to get a clear picture that I liked, so I will just post the ones that are good, so you can get the "picture".
All I can say, is that this hurt so fucking bad. I have lots of tattoos, and hours upon hours of work, but for whatever reason, yesterday was NOT my day.
The Idaho State Capitol in Boise is the home of the government of the state of Idaho. Although Lewiston, Idaho, briefly served as Idaho's capital from the formation of Idaho Territory in 1863, the territorial Legislature moved the capital to Boise on December 24, 1864.
Construction of the first portion of the capitol building began in the summer of 1905, 15 years after Idaho gained statehood. Architects were John E. Tourtellotte and Charles Hummel. Tourtellotte was a Connecticut native whose career began in Massachusetts and skyrocketed further when he moved to Boise. Hummel was a German immigrant who partnered with Tourtellotte in 1903. The final cost of the building was just over $2 million; it was completed in 1920. The architects used varied materials to construct the building and their design was inspired by Classical examples.
Tourtellotte and Hummel used four types of marble: red marble from Georgia, gray marble from Alaska, green marble from Vermont, and black marble from Italy. Architectural inspirations included St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, St Paul's Cathedral in London and the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The most prominent feature of the capitol is its dome. Surmounting this dome is a bronze eagle, 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall. The capitol building is 208 feet (63 m) high, occupies an area of 201,720 square feet (18,740 m2), and contains over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of artistically carved marble.
There are 219 pillars in the original building – Doric, Corinthian, or Ionic – and each pillar is made up of marble dust, plaster and scagliola. Scagliola is a mixture of granite, marble dust, gypsum and glue dyed to look like marble. This artificial marble was created by a family of artisans in Italy.
On the first floor of the capitol building, when looking upward to the dome, 13 large stars and 43 smaller stars can be seen. The 13 large stars represent the thirteen original colonies and the 43 smaller stars indicate that Idaho was the forty-third state to enter the union. The floor contains a compass rose. In its center is a sundial that has minerals found in Idaho. The first floor also houses a statue called the Patriot by Kenneth Lonn, for those who worked in the mining industry.
The second floor may be accessed via three entrances; from the east, the south and the west. The lieutenant governor’s office is located in the west wing, just opposite the governor’s office. On the north side of the second floor rotunda is a sculpture of George Washington astride a horse. And to the rear of the George Washington statue is the attorney general’s suite of offices. The space was home of the Idaho Supreme Court until it moved to the new Supreme Court Building in 1970. The east wing houses the office of the secretary of state offices in whose reception area is the official copy of the Great Seal of the State of Idaho.
The third floor contains the Senate in the west wing and the House of Representatives in the east wing. The two chambers were remodeled in 1968. Also on this floor is the old Idaho Supreme Court room, now used for hearings and committee meetings of the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee. On the fourth floor are balcony entrances to the senate and house galleries. The galleries enable members of the public to watch the Legislature while it is in session. The northeast, northwest and southwest corners of this floor contain many historic paintings as well as three murals by Dana Boussard.

After three years of restoration that covered the 150-year old dome of the Capitol in scaffolding, the $60 million project was completed this week.
Workers had to repair 1,300 cracks and fix or replace cast-iron ornaments.
One goal of the project was that it be finished in time for the presidential inauguration in January.
Now let's wait for the congress that will fill the exquisite shell - it is up to them to truly justify the expenditure!
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.

History and heritage
Because classroom space was in short supply, a hall was considered a luxury for Canterbury College. The Great Hall opened to both acclaim and controversy on Diploma Day 1882.
In its early years, it housed the College’s small library and was used for public lectures and formal graduation ceremonies. Over time, the University allowed greater use of the hall for events such as music recitals, student dances and society gatherings. Prior to the earthquakes, the great hall held a wide range of events and performances year-round.
The Great Hall provides a strong reflection of local heritage and culture. It makes rich use of native timbers, with kauri and rimu panelling, along with rewarewa, totara and matai lozenges.
It provides space for memorial plaques and icons, the first of which was dedicated to Helen Connon, the first woman to graduate with honours in the British Empire.
In 1938, a large stained glass window was dedicated to the sacrifices of College students in the First World War. This Memorial Window was rededicated in 2016 after its restoration following the Canterbury earthquakes.

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.

Once functional. Lost usefulness. Neglected. Time passes by. Gains maritime beauty in the artful eye.
No photo album documenting operations at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum would be complete without photos of this most famous member of the museum crew. This guy first turned up in the East Ely engine house as a kitten in 2008. Whether an orphan or a stray, the crew noticed him around and eventually took pity on the little guy. They fed him and eventually adopted him, taking him to the vets for shots and getting him neutered. He was initially named "Dirtball or Dirtbag", simply because of his obviously filthy appearance. Later, his name was shortened to simply "Dirt."
For years, he quietly existed as the crew's private pet until one day, someone got the idea to show him off on social media, and a star was born. There was a point in time when people, who really didn't care about railroads, would tune into Facebook and other social media outlets to see the many cool photos of him. He even became a sort of spokeskitty for safety topics.
I first encountered him during a 2015 winter photo shoot. Although not the world's friendliest cat, he was kind enough to pose for pictures. I wasn't about to drag him around and pose him with steam engines as some apparently did. I guess I just felt sorry for the little guy as cats are habitual groomers and licking all of that grime off his fur could not have been good for him. That said, despite the dangerous environment, he lived for an amazing 15 years, passing in 2023. Other cats have since taken on his role. He certainly had mastered the look of an engine house cat.
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.
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.
Fallout 4... Yes, the game's buggy. Vadim suddenly appears behind Travis in this capture. This does happen frequently; then again, the game is still brilliant.
So, in this video, I'm helping in uniting the two lovebirds, Scarlett and Travis. Travis begins as a timid individual that hosts a radio station that broadcasts throughout the Commonwealth. Upon completing this mission, the player will be able to activate a different demeanor from the radio host when tuning in to Diamond City Radio on their PipBoy.
This quest is given by Vadim Bobrov in the Dugout Inn after the player has encountered Travis at the Diamond Radio Station in Diamond City. You will have to wait until an NPC like a guard tells you that Vadim was looking for you at the Dugout Inn before you can start the quest. The quest is to boost Travis' confidence. This will change how he speaks on the radio.
1. Talk to Vadim. He will tell he's going to stage a fight to Boost Travis' confidence.
2.Vadim will have the player character come back at 6:00pm to stage the fight.
3.Speak with Travis and convince him to stand up for himself.
4.Defeat Gouger and Bull and talk to Vadim.
5.Vadim will have the Sole Survivor set up Travis and Scarlett, the waitress, to once again boost his confidence.
6.When the player character returns from speaking with Scarlett, Vadim will have been kidnapped by raiders. They're holding him at the Beantown Brewery, north of Diamond City.
7.Speak with Travis and he'll ask to come along.
8.Meet Travis at the Brewery and clear out the raiders inside.
9.Find Vadim in the back room and speak to Travis again.
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
