With an impressive column of steam Compound 41090 is leaving Birmingham New Street with a semi-fast train. The tender is full of coal and on top of that coal are the fire irons, to me they look further back from the footplate than I would expect and also rather precariously balanced too.
The old Midland station roof is still in place and the signal is a square wooden post.
This picture (and the rest of this batch) is from Peters 33mm square negatives, the camera had an excellent lens but Peter's habit of pushing his luck with the light did mean the negatives are grainier than we would expect, I think he push-processed the film.
41090 was built for the LMS (1090), the 4-4-0 H. Fowler designed compound was built at Horwich Works, it entered service in July 1925. 41090 was withdrawn 20/12/1958 at Derby. When Peter took this picture, the locomotive was based at Derby (17A) and had 37 days of active service life left.

Opened in 1894, Tower Bridge was one of the finest examples of the practical application of steam-generated hydraulic power. It was initially equipped with two compound steam engines, one of which is seen above, preserved as an exhibit for those touring the bridge today.
The roadway sections of the bridge that open weigh over 1,000 tons. To open the bridge in a smooth, controlled manner took a considerable amount of power.
The engines were located in the vaulted engine house on the south side of the River Thames. Each engine drove two sets of hydraulic ram pumps which forced water into hydraulic accumulators. The water was stored at a pressure of 750 psi, ready to be delivered through a system of pipes to the eight hydraulic engines. There were four on each side and they were located in the bases of the two main towers of the bridge.
As with most Victorian plant, there was plenty of spare capacity. The bridge could be opened using only one of the steam engines and two hydraulic engines.
A cog wheel on the main shaft of the hydraulic engine engaged in a quadrant attached to the bascules, so effecting the lift. For one descent of the plunger in the accumulator, the bridge could be opened and closed twice. Thus when the bridge was opened infrequently, an engine only needed to work intermittently. On busy days, one steam engine would be kept running continuously at 10–15 rpm, keeping the accumulator topped up at all times.
A third steam engine was added to the arrangement in 1941. When the bridge was converted to electrical power in 1974, this third engine was removed to the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum in Norfolkshire where it can still be seen today.
The engine and room are very colourful, but I felt that this distracted from some of the engineering detail, hence the monochrome image above.

First of all, yes i edited the picture, but i needed some rest
Second, if you want to know why i have been so inactive, heres some reasons:
*Flickr is being a slow and buggy bastard, and...
*I have to resign every time i close the browser because Flickr doesnt like Google accounts, furthermore limiting my desire to come here so often.
*People's skills have evolved way beyond mine, and my success is always based on originality...
*...which isnt helped by my lack of ideas
Maybe one day, maybe one day this will be something i pictured when i started making this.
If you want to look at a medical paper with pictures, then this is your lucky day! Any doctors want to comment on this study?
“All of the abnormal blood samples of injected persons, the 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations and frequently also crystalline and lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples. Our results are so similar to those of Lee et al. (2022) that it could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample. Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari (Montanari & Gatti, 2016; Gatti & Montanari, 2012, 2017, 2018), have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines”. In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there.”

Gates Foundation: $200 million to expand global Digital Public Infrastructure:
“This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”

Repent, for the end is near!
I came across this male ruddy darter (Sympetrum sanguineum) on the ruin wall of the old mill at Åva. there were loads of stinging nettles around, about chest high, so I were glad I had chosen long pants. Just as I reached the wall, the dragon fluttered away - but it immediately came back around so I tried holding my hand out. Success! It decided to land on me and that's when I saw that it had caught something.
The victim here is some sort of fly and I watched through the lens as the darter devoured it. In part 1, the face and one compound eye of the fly was still showing, but those mouthparts soon turned into an unrecognisable pulp. Dragonflies definietly are effective - if somewhat grisly - eaters.

I spent time this morning in the waiting room of the local family medical center. We've all been in that situation. That sort of pensive time you spend waiting while absolutely nothing is happening. I occupied myself, as I often do, by studying every single object in the room. I was intrigued by a series of photos hanging on the walls. Local scenes, no doubt intended to show oneness with the community. However they seemed entirely pedestrian. I got the sense that someone went around and took all of the photos on the same day, simply driving from one place to the next in succession, as if checking all of the boxes on a form. The results were less than inspired. Almost like passport photos of places rather than people. I got to thinking about what separates those photos from what you or I do. It occurred to me that one way to avoid banality is to shoot ordinary scenes under extraordinary conditions. I don't come to a place like this to shoot documentary style photos for Findagrave.com. My purpose is to capture scenes of sensitivity, feeling and sentiment. This is one of those images that has come to haunt me, not in a sense of ghosts, but in an overwhelming feeling of dismal sadness. I was somehow able to leverage what was visible to the eye with how it felt to be here. You can't point to just one element; it's multi faceted. The ground fog was certainly a component, the sense of being closed in. Somehow the subtle angles of the grave markers plays into the feel. I'm not sure why, but I just know if the stones were all perfectly plumb and vertical it wouldn't have the same feel. This is the downslope end of the burial ground, right at the eastern boundary and adjacent to a wetland. I often try to work that boundary line into the image. In these parts it's often a gray area where the graves transition back into nature. I love surfing along that boundary and trying to capture a sense of it.
How the world looks to a fly ! I know it's not a great shot but does show those incredible compound eyes. Flies, well all insects, really are the most amazing pieces of perfect engineering, HFDF one and all !
At least as of February of 2020, California's Niles Canyon Railway was about the only place I know of where you could see a pair of compound, articulated Mallet Locomotives, both of which are fully operational.
On the left, we see Clover Valley Lumber Company #4, a Baldwin 2-6-6-2T saddle-tanker, built in 1924 for the Clover Valley Lumber Company of Loyalton, CA. She served that owner for over 30 years, before becoming a stationary boiler for a short time at the Tahoe Timber Company near Reno, Nevada. This locomotive was acquired by her present owner, the Pacific Locomotive Association (PLA) in 1973, and about 5 years later, she was in operation on the Castro Point Railway. When that line shut down, she was brought to her present home, the Niles Canyon Railway, which is operated by the PLA. She remained in storage here for many years until she was extensively rebuilt and put into service in 2012. Today, she is one of several steam locomotives which pull the tourist trains at Niles Canyon.
On the right is an even rarer locomotive. Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1909, this unusual 2-4-4-2 articulated, compound Mallet was intended for the Little River Railroad in Townsend, TN as their number 126. Unfortunately, that railroad quickly determined that she was too long for the tight curves on their line and she was returned to Baldwin. In 1910, Baldwin managed to resell her to the Columbia River Belt Line Railway in Blind Slough, OR, where she was put to work as a logging engine. That railroad typically named their locomotives rather than number them, and this engine received the name "Skookum", which is apparently a Chinook term, meaning large, powerful or impressive. She served the Columbia River Belt Line from 1910 through 1920, before being sold to the Carlisle-Pennell Lumber Company, where she acquired the number 7. After a four-year stint there, she served 4 other railroads, including the Deep River Logging Company, where her long career came to a sudden end in 1955, when she rolled over with a string of empty log bunks. Since that line was in the process of shutting down, no attempt was made to recover her and she was left in place. In 1956, she was acquired by a man named Charles Morrow, who removed her from her wreck site in pieces....and she's spent the next 60 years in pieces, owned by several individuals and moved several different places. In 2005, Skookum was acquired by Chris Baldo, who had her moved to the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, with the goal of restoring her, a process which took 13 years. The restoration team slowly and methodically restored her major components and re-assembled her into the condition you see here. After running briefly on the Oregon Coast Scenic, she was brought to Niles Canyon by her owner, where she runs periodically, hauling the tourist trains and an occasional photo charter. Although this is her home for the time being, she is still privately owned. It has not been publicly announce how long she'll be here, or where she might go next.
