G543 reaches the peak of the Great Dividing Range as 9340 from Westall. From here it beings the decent down into Heathcote Junction station, before practically rolling the entire way the Kilmore East Hanson Quarry where it will load.
The previous day, H1 and XR558 were the pairing and I was still hoping to catch said combination.... No dice.

In downtown Brisbane, there is a series of climbers for kids. These ones seemed to be having a great time!
Time is getting the best of me....again.......
This is the time of year when the clock seems to move faster than usual, yet the season demands that we spend more time with our families and friends.
I want to take this opportunity to wish all my flickr and facebook friends a very Merry Christmas........a blessed Hannukah......... a holiday season filled with joy and wonder, and a prosperous, healthy and happy New Year.
If you have the time, check out the link below. Done without sarcasm or irony, this little video (introduced to me by flickr friend pjovertherainbow) touched me in a new and special way.

Lincoln Castle a Grade I Listed Building constructed by William the Conqueror in the 11th Century. In Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Castle was during the late 11th century by William the Conqueror on the site of a pre-existing Roman fortress. The castle is unusual in that it has two mottes. It is only one of two such castles in the country, the other being at Lewes in Sussex.
When William the Conqueror defeated Harold Godwinson and the English at The Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, he continued to face resistance to his rule in the north of England. For a number of years, William's position was very insecure. In order to project his influence northwards to control the people of the Danelaw (an area traditionally under the control of Scandinavian settlers), he constructed a number of major castles in the north and midlands of England. It was at this time that the new king built major castles at Warwick, Nottingham and York. After gaining control of York, the Conqueror turned southwards and arrived at the Roman and Viking city of Lincoln.
When William reached Lincoln (one of the country's major settlements), he found a Viking commercial and trading centre with a population of 6,000 to 8,000. The remains of the old Roman walled fortress located 60 metres (200 ft) above the countryside to the south and west, proved an ideal strategic position to construct a new castle. Also, Lincoln represented a vital strategic crossroads of the following routes (largely the same routes which influenced the siting of the Roman fort):
Ermine Street - a major Roman road and the Kingdom's principal north-south route connecting London and York.
Fosse Way - another important Roman route connecting Lincoln with the city of Leicester and the south-west of England
The Valley of the River Trent (to the west and southwest) - a major river affording access to the River Ouse, and thus the major city of York.
The River Witham - a waterway that afforded access to both the Rivers Trent (via the Fossdyke Roman canal at Torksey) and the North Sea via The Wash.
The Lincolnshire Wolds - an upland area to the northeast of Lincoln, which overlooks the Lincolnshire Marsh beyond.
A castle here could guard several of the main strategic routes and form part of a network of strongholds of the Norman kingdom, in Danish Mercia, roughly the area of the country that is today referred to as the East Midlands, to control the country internally. Also (in the case of the Wolds) it could form a center from which troops could be sent to repel Scandinavian landings anywhere on the coast from the Trent to the Welland, to a large extent, by using the roads which the Romans had constructed for the same purpose.
The Domesday Survey of 1086 directly records 48 castles in England, with two in Lincolnshire including one in the county town. Building a castle within an existing settlement sometimes meant existing structures had to be removed, and of the castles noted in the Domesday Book, thirteen included references to property being destroyed to make way for the castle. In Lincoln's case 166 "unoccupied residences" were pulled down to clear the area on which the castle would be built.
Work on the new fortification was completed in 1068. It is probable that at first a wooden keep was constructed which was later replaced with a much stronger stone one. Lincoln Castle is very unusual in having two mottes, the only other surviving example of such a design being at Lewes. To the south, where the Roman wall stands on the edge of a steep slope, it was retained partially as a curtain wall and partially as a revetment retaining the mottes. In the west, where the ground is more level, the Roman wall was buried within an earth rampart and extended upward to form the Norman castle wall. The Roman west gate (on the same site as the castle's westgate) was excavated in the 19th century but began to collapse on exposure, and so was re-buried.
The castle was the focus of attention during the First Battle of Lincoln which occurred on 2 February 1141, during the struggle between King Stephen and Empress Matilda over who should be monarch in England. It was held but damaged, and a new tower, called the Lucy Tower, was built.
Lincoln Castle was again the site of a siege followed by the Second Battle of Lincoln, on 20 May 1217, during the reign of King John in the course of the First Barons' War. This was the period of political struggle which led to the signing of Magna Carta on 15 June 1215. After this, a new barbican was built onto the west and east gates.
As in Norwich and other places, the castle was used as a secure site in which to establish a prison. At Lincoln, the prison Gaol was built in 1787 and extended in 1847. Imprisoned debtors were allowed some social contact but the regime for criminals was designed to be one of isolation, according to the separate system. Consequently, the seating in the prison chapel is designed to enclose each prisoner individually so that the preacher could see everyone but each could see only him. By 1878 the system was discredited and the inmates were transferred to the new jail in the eastern outskirts of Lincoln. The prison in the castle was left without a use until the Lincolnshire Archives were housed in its cells.
The castle is now owned by Lincolnshire County Council and is a scheduled ancient monument. In 2012, a three-year programme of renovation began at the castle. Work involved creating a new exhibition centre in which to display Magna Carta, building visitor facilities, and opening sections of the prison within the castle to the public. The scheme was completed in April 2015, to coincide with the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta.

Love conquers Hate...that is the main theme in Romeo and Juliet. At the end of this tragedy, we see that a feud that lasted centuries has actually been conquered by the love they share for each other. Their souls are joined for eternity...in the name of love.

This was our last day of our Honeymoon and we spent it touring the Colosseum. When we arrived, the sun was exploding behind the arches. Before too long, the clouds had rolled in and began to rain all over. We had a fabulous time. Now we're back... reality is stark, let me tell you!
About: The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, built of concrete and stone. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.

Since the Blade Runner sequel there's been a huge hype about this location. A part of the movie was shot here and now, urbexers from all around the world try to visit this old powerhouse. For a good reason, as you can see right here.
In the past, we were exploring over a dozen forgotten industrial facilities. But this historical power plant is definitely among the best of them. To see more of this unique structure, make sure to watch our latest documentary on YouTube: youtu.be/MUBNaJd723I
My husband and I took a day trip to the NC mountains yesterday and it was absolutely gorgeous and a whole lot of fun. Over the next few weeks I'll be posting lots of pics from this trip ( you might not ever want to see a mountain again lol ).
The next couple shots are me conquering a couple lifetime fears.. heights and falling.. and I think I did pretty well if I do say so myself.. like they say.. go big or go home!
The swinging bridge elevation is 5282 ft.
Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Blue icicles appear all around a pair of unknown ice climbers enjoying the Ice Park in Ouray, Colorado. These two were so much fun to watch! As a non-ice-climber myself, I can really appreciate the heights and severe angles they were working with.

My last visit here on a fine winter morning in 1981. 50029 also present, having a repaint which was also happening to 50034 (see below), perhaps odd as the major refurbishment programme was under way at Doncaster.
Having conquered the Cullerin ranges, the quintet consisting of 48s35, 4911, 4904, 4917 and C510 head downhill towards the Breadalbane planes on dusk with an extraordinarily late 3248 to Maldon.
Overnight, the train failed at the top of the hill at Galong. Unable to lift the load, locomotives off Qube Logistics 3112 assisted the train back into Harden, where it was then stabled. The culprit, RL304 went light engine to Junee with 4908 to be repaired, whilst two extra 49 classes were put in its place and C510, which was originally leading, was made the 5th unit owing to drawgear requirements.
