BTR-82A (picked up the virus being passed around on Flickr:p) and a Russian BT-7 I'm working on for a friendly challenge with Bristoli!
Tell me what you think and have a great Memorial Day!
Lumsdale Falls, Matlock
Several shoots of unculled and unprocessed images have been dormant on my hard drive since our Japan holiday so I thought I'd spend the day tidying up my directories and give you all a break from my recent offerings, although I've not finished with Japan yet.
A day out at Lumsdale Falls late October with fellow togs Eddie and Pat in search of flowing water and a chance to have a paddle in our wellies. If you've seen the recent humiliation I've suffered at the hands of Eddie... this is payback time. All puns gratefully received
Saint Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy Sobor is a large architectural landmark cathedral that currently functions as a museum with occasional church services in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great, who had been born on the feast day of that saint. It was originally built as a cathedral but was turned into a museum by the Soviet government in 1931 and has remained a museum ever since. In 2017, the Governor of Saint Petersburg offered to transfer the cathedral back to the Orthodox Church, but this was not accomplished due to the protests of St Petersburg citizens opposing the offer.
The neoclassical exterior expresses the traditional Russian-Byzantine formula of a Greek-cross ground plan with a large central dome and four subsidiary domes. It is similar to Andrea Palladio's Villa Capra "La Rotonda", with a full dome on a high drum substituted for the Villa's low central saucer dome. The design of the cathedral in general and the dome in particular later influenced the design of the United States Capitol dome, Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, and the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki.
The exterior is faced with gray and pink stone, and features a total of 112 red granite columns with Corinthian capitals, each hewn and erected as a single block: 48 at ground level, 24 on the rotunda of the uppermost dome, 8 on each of four side domes, and 2 framing each of four windows. The rotunda is encircled by a walkway accessible to tourists. 24 statues stand on the roof, and another 24 on top of the rotunda.
This is very good. Ressa is a journalist who was born in the Philippines, raised in the US, and returned to the Philippines to start a news outlet which soon became the target of the leading politicians. She and her outlet fought back and endured, and this endurance and the actions she took are the heart of the story. But it's also about the Internet and social networking, and how FB -- which helped her outlet succeed -- was eventually turned against her. I highly recommend this one.

I have always being impressed when I came across stones that seat in a river with strong current flowing through. It seems so fragile but yet it never failed to prove its strength.
Currently, we are unsure if this is a hybrid or "nature's freak" as this specimen was caught by our civil service officer after it caused havoc in one of the busiest highways in Kuala Lumpur.
Note:
Hybrid here means it's from the exotic pet circle @ runaway pet.
Nature's freak-in general this species' natural coloration is either dark brown or light black but the present snake is light orange.
Distribution: China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malay Peninsula, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos, Nepal, and Thailand.
Reproduction: This is an oviparous species. Females normally lay 16 to 33 eggs per clutch whereby incubation periods range from 55 to 73 days. Egg-laying takes place from January through March when it's slightly warmer. The females usually stay with her eggs for awhile. There have been reports of interbreeding between Indian cobra (Naja naja) x Monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia)
Description: The dorsal surface may be yellow, brown, gray, or blackish, with or without ragged or clearly defined cross bands. The O-shape marking can be olivaceous, brownish to black above with or without a yellow or orange-colored. In general , it has a black spot on the lower/inner surface of the hood on either side (surprisingly this specimen did not exhibit this trait), and one or two black cross-bars on the belly behind it
Length: Adults can reach a maximum of 2.3 m (7.5 ft) in length. Many larger specimens have been recorded, but this size are rare.

A once-in-a-lifetime view from our hot air balloon over a misty Napa Valley in Northern California on a beautiful autumn morning. The low fog churned and gently rippled in the growing warmth of the sunrise. 20 minutes later, the fog dissipated and we came back down to Earth.
James was great, and I strongly recommend it, but not drop everything to read it great. This? It’s a follow up to the very good book referenced on the cover.

This seemingly thin book is heavy on wisdom. If you think of the chain that goes
data -> information -> knowledge -> wisdom,
a lot of books don't spend much time on the wisdom, and if you want wisdom you'll do well here. He has basically 20 short essays on aspects of dealing and resisting; a typical essay will start with an expression of the principle involved, follow with historical examples of how is was handled in the past, and conclude with concrete actions you can take which follow the principle.
It's good and I think you'd do well with it. After you've read it, leave it on the bathroom window sill for your guests.
This is my current reading! As a matter of fact, I've almost finished it. It's a delightful little book on the basic and necessary elements for landscape photography. Author Michael Frye, an excellent landscape photographer himself, makes, all the time, interesting and instructive comparisons to the methods and ideas of great masters like Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston, including the well-known Zone System. A real bargain for what it actually delivers.

Friday afternoons are always busy (well relatively so for our current era) at East Deerfield and this day was no different with three different trains all working at once. Here is train EDRJ doubling up their train at the west end of East Deerfield Yard. They will soon be under way to the far western end of the Pan Am system at Rotterdam Junction, NY. The C40-8W, SD40-2, C40-8W trio of MEC 7727, 3403, 7835 leading the train are framed up by the classic clutter of all the old school Boston and Maine era infrastructure still hanging on.
In the background can br seen the locomotive shop while standing guard in the foreground is a link to the past, known as WX Tower in B&M parlance it controlled from Cheapside, half way between Greenfield and E Deerfield to the crossover at Montague, MA. The control machine was a GRS direct wire type and controlled the holding signals at Cheapside, the west end of the yard, the east end of the yard and Montague crossover. Built during the 1920s it is similar in design and style to other surving B&M towers of the era including those in Waltham, Ayer, and Johnsonville. It closed December 9, 1981 when control passed to the dispatcher in North Billerica.

Original creation I did -- made this for the lack of anything else I seem to be able to do right now, I've seemed to have lost my direction...hoping the current can help to get to a better place.

The current Cathedral Basilica of St Stanislaus and St Ladislaus of Vilnius (Vilniaus Šv. Stanislovo ir Šv. Vladislovo arkikatedra bazilika) was constructed between 1779 and 1783 in an austere Neoclassical style based on a quadrangular shape. The interior was completed in 1801. The main façade is dominated by the six massive Doric columns and is adorned with sculptures of the Four Evangelists by Italian sculptor Tommaso Righi, flanked by statues of Abraham and Moses.
The Belfry next to the cathedral was originally constructed as part of the defensive wall of the city in the 13th century. In the 16th century the defensive tower became the belfry of the Cathedral. It acquired its present appearance in the beginning of the 19th century. The height of the belfry is 52 meters.
