I like these, although I'd have one in completely standard form.
DVLA says currently on SORN, with its last MoT expiring back in February 2017.
My collection needed a dusting, so I took a quick and crappy picture so I can look back on Spring 2011
The Grade II Listed Halifax Railway Station, Halifax, West Yorkshire.
The original station was built at Shaw Syke, approximately 220 yards (200 m) west of the current location and opened on 1 July 1844 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway as the terminus of a branch off their main line from Manchester to Normanton. With the opening of the line between Halifax and Bradford on 7 August 1850, a new station was opened on the current site; this had temporary wooden buildings. The station at Shaw Syke was then extended and used as a goods depot. The permanent buildings at the current site were designed by Thomas Butterworth and opened in 1855.
A new line was constructed by the Great Northern Railway in the mid-1870s from the main station over a long viaduct to a station at North Bridge, and then across and indeed partly in tunnel beneath the hilly terrain north of the town to an unusual triangular station at Queensbury, where the line divided into track for Keighley (and Skipton, Carlisle, and Morecambe) to the north-west, and Bradford in the east.
Halifax station was redesigned during 1884–85, and completely rebuilt during 1885–86. Part of the new station opened on 25 October 1885, and the remainder on 30 May 1886. The new station had separate accommodation for LYR and GNR trains, the latter being on the west side.
The Halifax High Level Railway was a related branch line opened in 1890, leading from Holmfield near Ovenden, on the line to Queensbury, through a half-mile tunnel through the ridge and across the Wheatley Valley on a ten-arch viaduct past Samuel Webster's brewery, to Pellon, where there were sizeable goods facilities and then to St Paul's railway station in Queens Road. This branch line gradually fell into disuse, losing its regular passenger service as early as 1917. The last goods train ran in 1960 and the line was then dismantled, leaving the viaduct standing as a reminder of the former freight link.
The Queensbury branch was closed in stages from 1955 onwards although many of its engineering features remain. The route has lately been adopted and to an extent brought back into public use and attention by Sustrans as a walking and cycle route. The principal structure on the line, Queensbury Tunnel, was, at its opening, the longest on the GNR system. It is currently derelict, partially flooded, and impassable.
To distinguish it from Halifax St. Paul's and Halifax North Bridge stations, the main station was known from 1890 as Halifax Old Station. In 1951 the name was changed again to Halifax Town, and in 1961 it reverted to Halifax.

I came across these books at a church rummage sale this summer, unexpectedly discovered on a trip. Currently reading the first volume, and hope the universe provides the third volume of the trilogy before I finish the second. Time travel, asteroid mining, private enterprise space exploration, intelligent squids, supersmart children, and so much more.

Manifold Space
Manifold Origin
Phase Space (short stories)
Though I am still in the first novel, I understand these are not sequential volumes, but rather alternative futures with the same characters. I will let you know how that works out, sometime in the future in some space.
I really like the dust jacket design of these two books side-by-side.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

Toy Sunday. Theme: The Current Season.
So, this is my current priority wishlist. I tend to view my wishlists as a budget plan of sorts. That way, I could be more organized in the things that I collect.
Priority No.1 & 2: Madeline Hatter & Blondie Lockes. They're already bought and paid for and they're on their way here.
Priority No. 3: Cerise Hood. I'm currently saving up enough money for her.
Priority No. 4: C.A. Cupid. Who doesn't wanna get Cupid? Seriously, everyone likes her!
Priority No. 5: Frights, Camera, Action! Black Carpet: Cleo de Nile. It's too late for me to start a Monster High collection... but this Cleo is so beautiful, how could I resist?
Lizzie Hearts has been confirmed as the next doll in the Ever After High signature line. I don't know if I want her though. She's a rather underdeveloped character in the series.
I'm also looking for some replacement heads for Apple and Raven. Preferably ones with perfectly painted eyes. So if anyone's selling, please let me know.

This is after quite a big cull. I still haven't parted with all my she-Ra or fairytail birds, or keypers so a few might find their way back in there lol.
This doesn't include all my My Little Ponies.
I need to do a rearrange of these shelves as the bottom shelf has some new items that need a proper place.
Top shelf: Jem, Ghostbusters, cup cake dolls, fairytail birds, A Team, Care Bears, Wuzzles and a He man.
Middle Shelf: She-Ra, skeletor, Thundercats, keypers, moondreamers,
Bottom shelf: Flower Fairies, Battlecat, keypers, fashion star fillies, strawberry shortcake and Poochie.
I have been trying to save spring by clipping branches of buds and bringing them inside to bloom so I can photograph them. I'm afraid with all the cold weather and snow they won't be around for long.
Currently operating at Hulleys although nominally based at the associated Go-Coach operation is former London United OT9. It’s seen here arriving onto Albion Street to operate the 565 to Denshaw as part of the 2024 Halifax & Pennines Bus Day. Although never a huge Tempo fan myself, can confirm this one is quite an impressive example having sampled it during the Lowish floor running day last month.

Whilst browsing the streets for strangers on another warm Melbourne day I had remembered seeing a unique face from the previous weekend at a cafe in central Melbourne. This time with my camera in hand I headed towards Melbourne's GPO building to see if they were there working today. Unfortunately he was not, but luckily enough for me I had found another person who was perfect for this project - his name was Pascal and he is officially Stranger #17.
Pascal is a Chocolatier at Cacao - a Chocolatorium of-a-cafe and Patisserie in Melbourne's General Post Office building. Now this is one of the coolest job titles I've heard in the series so far. I'd spotted Pascal as soon as I entered the building, working away with a smile on his face and serving the queue of people waiting for their little chocolate treat. He was also wearing a great hat and an outfit that reminded me of someone from years gone by. There was numerous people walking around with there wonderfully crafted small paper bags, hiding their chocolates they'd just purchased for when they get back to their car or quiet corner on the tram :)
I waited for the line to quiet down a little before I went to order a hot chocolate and got the chance to speak to Pascal himself. After introducing myself and asking if I could take his portrait, he politely agreed without hesitation and asked where he should stand. As we were shooting indoors the lighting wasn't the best, but the large skylight in the roof of the old post office was giving me some soft light that was far better than the normal fluorescent's I'd normally shoot under in these circumstances. After shooting a quick few frames we then got talking about his life and of course his wonderful job. He said he is a local boy from Melbourne who's been making chocolates here for 10 years and has been in this current store location for 5yrs to date. He also travelled to Paris for 2 years to learn his craft and this was where ended up meeting his wife. I bet he had plenty of women after him knowing his day job :)
All-in-all Pascal was a wonderful stranger to shoot and more than welcome to do anything that was needed. He had mentioned that his wife had been following another photographer who was known for his photographs of strangers (whose name I cant remember) and that he would be keenly following my series from now on. So if your ever near the wonderful GPO building in the city and are after a wonderful hot chocolate or the Best Macarons in Melbourne, drop by Cacao Fine Chocolates and say hi to Pascal if he's working.
In researching his business later on after the shoot, I also found out that he had recently been awarded the prestigious award of Best Chocolates Showpiece at the recent Chocolate Australia Championships. So congratulations Pascal on your success and thank you once more for being apart of this project. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed that fabulous hot chocolate.

Hopefully the blackbird will still remain common but currently numbers are declining in Southern England thought to be due to a mosquito-borne virus.

After the atomic bomb was detonated ~600 m above Hiroshima on 6 August, 1945, ~100 m horizontally from here, those bodies not already incinerated by the explosion were brought to this spot for cremation. Within a year, public donations funded the construction of a temporary ikotsu-dĹŤ (vault for cremated remains) and chapel, which was replaced by the current memorial on the tenth anniversary.
Designed, by Kikuji Ishimoto, to resemble a Momoyama Period (1583-1600) imperial tomb capped by a stone sourin (pagoda finial), the circular mound is 16 m across and 3.5 m tall. The vault below contains the ashes of 70,000 victims, all either unknown or with no families left to mourn them. Attempts are still made to identify the dead, and an interfaith memorial service is held here every year.
Since taking up full-frame photography, I have found the Canon 35mm F2.0 IS USM to be a great all purpose lens. View other shots taken with this lens here.
