A pair of very different but equally wonderful vintage Ford Model-T vehicles, standing on the cobbled town street at Beamish Museum.
On the left is this very elegant British-built version of the world famous Ford Model-T. This particular semi convertible landaulette example was built in 1917 and is UK registered Y 9565.
On the right is a much more basic, but none-the-less nicely restored 1929 Ford Model-T light van, UK registered FU 1928.

A different view of this species from the one in the last post. This one shows some of the identifying field characteristics; in particular the broad antehumeral (essentially on shoulder) stripe. It is also eating what appears to be a red spider mite. Also, there is a fly species sharing the same leaf - such 'photo bombing' invariably is a feature of macro work in habitat.
Let's look at the wagons today. No-one ever looks at the wagons.
In front of you is, of course, a nuclear fuel rod flask carrier, an FNA in railway parlance. Going by it's number, 550044, it's made of recycled Queen's Own Highlander Deltic type 55004 thing. Or maybe it's re-purposed 50044, Exeter. Oh, hang on...
Anyway, those of a certain age will remember 46009 bumping into one of those flasks, and an upturned FNA equivalent, at Old Dalby in, oooh, was it 1983? If you don't know what I'm on about go search it on You Tube.
Well there was a helluva bang when the Peak and it's 3 mk1's hit one of the edges square on at 103mph, bits went flying everywhere, and the assorted and assembled gentry went into back slapping, champagne quaffing mode when the experts checked the flask and declared it undamaged.
Of course at the same time, the conspiracy theorists went into overdrive, fixed, forged, we're all gonna fry etc etc etc...
Well, thirty and something years later, I'm convinced. I stood this close, yet I have no green aura or radiation sickness, nor am I shedding lumps of skin.
But I do have what I think is a cracking picture. And all from not looking at the locomotives.

Different photographer, basically the same camera. Interesting how Francis and Ian both hold their Minox cameras differently.

The Samburu is closely related to the Maasai.
Like the Maasai, they live in the central Rift Valley area of Kenya, where the climate is semi-arid.
They are seminomadic and belong to the Maa (Nilotic) speaking group of people. They do very little farming. Their livelihood depends upon the cattle, sheep and goats they raise. They use their milk more than meat. They often drink milk mixed with cow's blood. So, like their neighbours, they have to search for water and grazing land which leads them out from their homes during dry seasons. The Samburu live in huts made of branches, mud and cow dung. There is usually one big room that is very low in height. Around it, there is a fence made of thorn bushes, in which the cattle is kept at night. Most Samburu still wear traditional dress. Like the Maasai, women wear colorful beaded necklaces similar to the ones the Rendile women wear. The number of necklaces is a sign of wealth, often given as dowry. They wear bright clothes, usually red and pink. To protect their eyes from the sun, Samburu warriors (like the Rendile) often paste their hair with ochre which creates a visor.
Samburu are very spiritual people, believing and praying daily to the God they call Ngai. Age determines men's social status: each man has to go through various stages before becoming a powerful elder. Circumcision marks the boy’s transition to a young warrior, while girls excision is performed on the day of marriage (usually at 16 years old).

Night settles differently in San Francisco, and during Lightscape, Golden Gate Park becomes a slow-moving landscape of color, shadow, and quiet spectacle. These photographs were made along the Lightscape route as illuminated botanical forms rise from the darkness, transforming familiar park paths into something immersive and otherworldly. Translucent flower sculptures glow from within, their layered petals shifting between violet, blue, and warm red, hovering against the night sky like living lanterns.
Seen together, the images trace a rhythm of scale and atmosphere: intimate close-ups that emphasize texture and light, wider views where installations interact with towering trees, and moments where visitors move through the scene as silhouettes, grounding the experience in place. The lighting is theatrical but restrained, allowing the natural contours of Golden Gate Park—its trees, lawns, and pathways—to remain present beneath the spectacle.
Lightscape has become a defining winter event in San Francisco, not as a novelty, but as a carefully staged dialogue between art and landscape. These photographs focus on that balance, capturing how light reshapes space without erasing it. What emerges is a distinctly San Francisco nightscape: contemplative, visually rich, and rooted in one of the city’s most iconic public spaces.
Trying different products from another vendor. These are double sided metal dog tags. I've had lots'o compliments so methinks I'll add'em to the senior packages :0)
Also double score I can wear'em in the pool and they won't get damaged.
Flickr mail me for info on vendor :0)
Years ago, when I was very new to both photography and Flickr, I faved and commented on a magnificent egret shot that a man had taken. I was so impressed with his work, I began to follow him, and he began to give me advice. Since I was working with a very inexpensive point and shoot, and didn't know much about post processing, he suggested that I start to learn about composition and lighting, and that the best way to begin, for me, would be taking self portraits, since, as he put it, my model would always be ready, would always know just what I wanted, and would work for free, lol! I joined a self portrait photo group called the 365 Day group, and began posting a photo a day for a year. Consequently, in the beginning, I would take some 20 pics or more a day, trying to find the best to work on, and post, so my stream was mostly just me!
I soon found out that my contact was really interested in meeting up with me and doing a nude photo shoot! Well, I ditched him as a contact, but stayed in the 365 group. Within two weeks, I was extremely bored with my shots. After all, hand held selfies with a cheap P&S, or ANY camera, are limiting, and you wouldn't believe how soon even a creative person can run out of ideas! That is when I started learning to manipulate photos. My selfies became more artwork than photography, as I discovered how to airbrush on photos, and soon my face was transformed into everything from a vampire to an elf, and even a bald woman, in honor of cancer patients! I did one shot where I made my eyes blue to honor one of my grandmothers, who died from breast cancer, and whom my father said I looked a lot like except for having hazel-green eyes instead of blue, and dark brown hair instead of black. It was all quite fun, and the unusual selfies DID teach me a lot about what I could do with the rest of my shots.
After the year ended, I dropped out of the 365 Day Group and began focusing on other kinds of shots, with the occasional selfie thrown in. Those I did to keep in practice for portrait work, since I seldom have another model.
After years of post processing, my passion is still portraiture. I think I've proved I can take a good shot of a flower or scenic, but I dearly love the magic of being able to transform a face into something artistic, rather than just a good photo. Whereas when I first started doing this, I chose the best shots to work with, now I often choose some of the worst or most mediocre. to practice post processing on. This was one of the so-so ones.
This is a bit of a new technique for me, and I will be trying some other different work in the near future. I'm considering beginning to post to 365 again, but not sure I want the commitment. I do feel I've been in a rut, though, and want to try something different.
If anyone wants me to work on a photo of theirs, let me know. I need the practice, and love to work on faces OTHER than my own!
Ceduna. This “capital” of the Far West Coast is 50 kms further from Adelaide than Melbourne is from Adelaide. As it is 780 kms west of Adelaide it should be in a different time zone but it is not. With Thevenard it has 2,200 residents. Almost 25% of residents are Aboriginal but this figure is does not include the floating or transient population of Aboriginal visitors from inland areas and further west (Yalata) which is 250 kms away. The people from Yalata speak Pitjantjatjara unlike the local Wirangu people. Most of the permanent Aboriginal residents are employed by local government, the state government or the local industries. The transient population usually come to Ceduna for medical treatment. The Ceduna Hospital has 15 acute overnight beds, four day beds, two dialysis beds and 38 general beds. Medical imaging is available two days a week at the hospital. Rex Airlines provides seven flights a week to Adelaide. The Western Australian border across the Nullarbor is 500 kms west of Ceduna. The Head of the Bight is 300 kms west. The Eyre Highway to the WA border was sealed in 1976.
European exploration of the Ceduna area and Murat Bay began in 1627 when Captain Francois Thijssen, a Dutch explorer in his ship the Golden Zeepard, visited this region with Pieter Nuijts. The islands off the coast were named Nuyts Archipelago in honour of that voyage by Captain Matthew Flinders when he charted the coast here in 1801. The largest island in the archipelago was named by Captain Thijssen in 1627 after the patron saint of Nuijt – St Pierre Isle now known as St Peters Island. The second largest island in the archipelago he named after his own patron stain St Francois – St Francis Island. Another European, the French man Nicholas Baudin named Murat Bay when he charted the coast also in 1802. He was the explorer who met Matthew Flinders near Victor Harbor which Flinders named Encounter Bay. Murat was a French general and brother-in-law of Napoleon Bonaparte. When Flinders entered the bay next to Murat he tested the water for salinity as he felt sure a major river would have an estuary on the bay. In disappointment he named it Denial Bay. In 1893 the Hundred of Bonython was declared around Murat Bay. It was not changed to Ceduna until the railway arrived in 1915 when the railways named their station Ceduna. Ceduna is believed to be a corruption of the local Wirangu Aboriginal word 'chedoona' which means "a place to sit down and rest". The foreshore of Murat Bay is a great place to sit down and rest under the Norfolk Island pine trees looking towards Thevenard. Or you can get almost the same view from the Ceduna Foreshore Hotel!
Unlike most South Australia towns Ceduna was founded in the 20th century when the optimism of the 19th century farmers had waned. Early explorers had not reported favourably on the land here. Edward John Eyre made his visit to the region in 1839 after sailing to Port Lincoln and then he explored it again in 1840/41. On his second trip he complained about the lack of any water after a ship had provided water to him at Streaky Bay. His party then walked as there was no water for horses. This fateful journey, when Aborigines killed two of his party and Eyre and his Aboriginal friend Wylie nearly died of thirst, Eyre managed to cross the Nullarbor Plain to WA. But none of his reports encouraged settlers. Two explorers Miller and Dutton in 1857 noted no water but said there were good areas of grasslands. The first large pastoral leaseholds were taken up in 1860 but soon surrendered and taken up again after 1868. This was tough country even for sheep. Robert Barr smith took out the Fowlers Bay run which included Murat Bay and covered 199 square miles. Other leaseholds were also taken up along the coast. All were resumed by the government in the late 1880s when the hundreds were declared. The Hundred of Bonython which covers Ceduna was declared in 1893 and a small farming community began on Murat Bay. Thirty early settler families petitioned the government for a surveyed town in 1896. This happened in 1901 and it was named Murat Bay. But the town developed very slowly. The first church opened in 1909; the government school only opened in 1914 and minimal development occurred before 1915 when the railway from Port Lincoln reached the town. The first government wharf was built in 1902 to take away the bagged grain; and early stone Institute building was erected; there were two early general stores; the town had a stone hotel –licensed to Mr Charles Mudge in 1901 for opening in 1902; the first police station opened in 1903; the first wooden Post Office opened in 1902; the town before 1909 had a saddler, a blacksmith, a butcher, baker, etc but no candle stick maker.
All the major Christian faiths have been represented in Ceduna. The first church built in Ceduna was the Methodist in 1909 in Poynton Street. Its porched was added 1959 and the “new” church hall was added in 1962. The second church was the early Anglican Church also built in Poynton Street in 1911. It was last used for services in 1954 when the new St Michael’s and All Angels Church across the street opened. It was dedicated by the Bishop of Willochra in 1955 and the adjacent parish hall was built in 1981. The third church erected in town was the Lutheran Church in East Terrace. It was built in 1928 but was in a deteriorating condition by 1970. In 1971 it was demolished and a new Lutheran Church opened. Lutheranism was a strong faith in this region with the Koonibba Lutheran Aboriginal Mission (est. 1901) 39 kms out of town and the early Lutheran Church in Denial Bay 13 kms away which was the first church in the whole region built in 1896. In 1929 the Catholics built a church in Bergman Drive. It was dedicated as Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church. A new parish hall was erected in 1977. Ceduna became a separate Catholic parish with a resident priest in 1973 when it broke away from Streaky Bay.
Thevenard. Ceduna-Thevenard was the main terminus of the Eyre Peninsula railway system with the line from Port Lincoln reaching here in 1915. The town of Thevenard was surveyed and land sold in 1915. The railway line from Port Lincoln reached Wudinna, about half way in 1913.Then the first trains operated to Ceduna in 1915 with a passenger train for travel to or from Port Lincoln. It took two days with an overnight stay in Minnipa! Almost all the railway stations and sidings on Eyre Peninsula have local Aboriginal words for their names. Here are some of the interesting siding names from near Ceduna – Yantanabie; Chillundie; Mudamuckla; Chimbingina; Uworra; Nunjikompita; Yantanabie; Puntabie; Wiabuna; Koonibba; Kalanbi; Chinta. Passenger trains on Eyre Peninsula from Ceduna were coordinated to arrive in Port Lincoln to connect with coast steamers to Adelaide until the last steamer service ended in 1963. The railway from Thevenard was extended to Penong further west (73 kms) in 1924. This is now the only railway line in operation on Eyre Peninsula since May 2019 when Viterra grain handlers could not reach an agreement with the track owners of Eyre Peninsula, Genesee & Wyoming Australia. The rail service was terminated. The last grain train to Penong operated in 1997 but the line to Kevin gypsum mines still operates. Three round trips are made each day for most days of the week. The export of gypsum is one of the major exports from Thevenard. The jetty at Thevenard was extended in 1972 to allow larger ships to visit the port. Thevenard exports roughly 6 million bushels of grain a year, 80,000 tons of salt and 200,000 tons of gypsum from the mines at Kevin near Penong and increasing amounts of mineral sands (zircon). Some processed and frozen fish and seafood are also exported from Thevenard. Flinders Ports Holdings operates the port which is the second busiest in South Australia. There are current plans for a $15million upgrade of Thevenard jetty and port. A transportable Methodist Church was moved to Thevenard in 1953 and a small Greek Orthodox Church opened in Thevenard in 1972. Prior to that Orthodox services were held in the Greek Hall. For many years Thevenard had a gypsum factory producing plaster.
Different bird, different place. I kept the color in this one: I love the autumn colors on the tree. Also this one, is more about the story than clinical sharpness and detail ( the are there, btw: this is not a repurposing of a bad shot: it's a narrative choice )
Me and my family were walking through the rainforest and we discovered this gate. That's all just a gate, no fence, nothing else whatsoever. You could have literally just walked to the other side without any problem. I had to take a photo because of the deep greens and how much the gate stood out against the background. I also really love that Bigfoot mask against the post.
Any comments would be welcome. :)
Thanks

I thought quite a bit today about this question. What is the difference between a photograph, a good photograph and a great photograph. Obviously there are things that can improve any photograph, rule of thirds, proper exposure, leading lines, focus on the subject, elimination of distracting objects, etc. But I feel that it is so much more than that. All those things turn a photograph into a good photograph, i think a great photograph can capture the personality or style of the photographer as well. I thought about this this weekend when 4 great photographers set up their gear all in a line with virtually the same equipment, shooting the sunset in the smokies. I also knew that each one of those people would put their own stamp on that image. I always like seeing someone who can shoot something that has been done a million times but can do it differently than all those others. I also like seeing a thumbnail, photo, or group of photos and can tell that is a friends because i can tell by the style, by the processing, by the mood. So to me a good photograph has used some elements of skill to advance it from just a photograph to a good photograph but a great photograph captures the essence of the scene in front of the camera and the essence of the photographer behind it. Your thoughts?
Called well before the train had arrived at Chattanooga, Tennessee, the W&A crew for CSX B647-28 was flying all the way south. Making the run in near record time for a non-OCS move they were through Cartersville barely more than 3 hours out of Chattanooga.
Leading the train is CP ES44AC no. 8781 painted in the freight colors of shipping company Hapag Lloyd, with whom Canadian Pacific does a large amount of business.
View from different perspective. Something you cannot see, when walking on your feet, but only from bird's eye. In this case the bird was Mavic Pro. Spectacular mountains Swiss Alps, which I thought cannot be any better, are actually having only value added, when looked at from different perspective. Love to the mountains is something I've established recently, I only feel bad I somehow couldn't convince myself to this earlier in my life.
Quite a different array of motive power at Doncaster as Euro Cargo Rail 66010 enters with the 4D56 Biggleswade to Heck empty Plasmore wagons and passes 91104 and 31601 on Saturday 31st March 2012.
Inspired by David McKee’s book Elmer, Neil wanted his elephant to be just as colourful and playful. Neil’s aim was for there to be an overload of colour and for the design to be busy with lots of different patterns.

Summer 2016, a herd of elephant sculptures descended on Sheffield for the biggest public art event the city has ever seen!
58 elephant sculptures, each uniquely decorated by artists, descended on Sheffield’s parks and open spaces, creating one of the biggest mass participation arts events the city has ever seen. Did you find them all?
The trail of elephants celebrates Sheffield’s creativity with over 75% of artists from the city. Some well-known names include Pete McKee, James Green, Jonathan Wilkinson and Lydia Monks – each of which has put their own creative mark on a 1.6m tall fibreglass elephant sculpture. They are all very difference, take a selfie with your favourite as they will be on display until the end of September.
International artist Mark Alexander, who is currently working with Rembrandt for an exhibition in Berlin, flew to Sheffield especially to paint his elephant and international players from the World Snooker Championship signed SnookHerd, an elephant celebrating the heritage of snooker in Sheffield.
The Arctic Monkeys, famous for their love of their home city, added their signatures to their own personalised sculpture which pays homage to the striking sound wave cover of the band’s 2013 album “AM”.
By supporting the Herd of Sheffield you are investing in the future of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Every penny raised will go towards our Artfelt programme, which transforms the hospital’s walls and spaces with bright art, helping children recover in an environment tailored to them. The programme also puts on workshops for youngsters to provide distraction during anxious moments – such as before an operation, and to breakup long stays on the wards.
This exciting Wild in Art event brought to you by The Children’s Hospital Charity will:
Unite our city – bringing businesses, communities, artists, individuals and schools together to create a FREE sculpture trail which is accessible to all.
Attract more visitors – both nationally and regionally as well as encouraging thousands of people to become a tourist in their own city.
Invest in the future – with a city wide education programme that can be used for years to come and by funding a life-saving piece of medical equipment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital from the Herd auction at the end of the trail.
Showcase our city – celebrating Sheffield’s heritage and cementing our status as a vibrant and culturally exciting city through this world-class initiative.
The Herd of Sheffield Farewell Weekend was held on 14-16 October and was your chance to say a last goodbye to all 58 large elephant sculptures as they gather in one place for a final send-off at Meadowhall.
This special event gave visitors a chance to see the entire herd in all its glory – from the signed Arctic Monkeys’ ‘AM’ elephant, right through to ‘SnookHerd’, autographed by a host of international snooker players including current world champion Mark Selby.
Please note that the Little Herd elephants will not be on display as they will be returned to their school for pupils to enjoy.
Meadowhall, along with its joint owners, British Land are very proud to be supporting The Children’s Hospital Charity as host sponsors for the Herd of Sheffield Farewell Weekend.
Auction: Hundreds of elephant enthusiasts gathered at the Crucible on 20 October for the Herd of Sheffield Auction, which raised a total of £410,600 for The Children’s Hospital Charity.
