Wind-driven snow. Oulu, March 2019, Nikon FE, Nikon 35 mm, Kentmere 100, f11, 1/250, R09 1+100. Pacific Image Prime Film XA. Small white specs are not dust but light reflected from snow.
Isn't it nice to have an unexpected day off, Daisy? Now, let's go see what's on your agenda this fine morning. I mean, aside from modeling the new belt your Mistress bought you. 😍
See ya tomorrow, folks!
When I looked at these densely-packed Snowgum trees just to the side of the toboggan run at Lake Mountain, my brain saw pattern and colour rather like this.
Even the hybrid Canada Goose is acting very territorial today. Chasing away any bird likely to get between it and it's mate.
Before this pandemic driven lock down , it was common sight that old men used to sit and gossip at railway platform at evening.
This is one such frame at a Railway platform near Calcutta ( Kolkata ) in the state of West Bengal in India.
The image was captured in monochrome mode of the phone camera. Slight film grain processing is applied in photoshop.
Driven by here for years, never on foot, just had to get a shot a few weeks ago when we got the light.
Driven from the front; powered from the rear… A Network Rail test train, comprising Driving Trailer Coach No. 9714, coach No. 62384 and Colas Rail Freight Class 37 diesel-electric locomotive No. 37175, trundles through Kemble en route from Bristol High Level Siding to Swindon on 20th July 2018.
Opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1882, Kemble served as a busy country junction until the 1960s, serving two branch lines to Cirencester Town and Tetbury. Both lines were closed in April 1964. Today the station offers services to Swindon, London Paddington, Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.

The Porsche 956 was a Group C sports-prototype racing car designed by Norbert Singer and built by Porsche in 1982 for the FIA World Sportscar Championship. It was later upgraded to the 956B in 1984. In 1983, driven by Stefan Bellof, this car established a record that would stand for 35 years, lapping the famed 20.832 km (12.93 mi) Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:11.13 during qualifying for the 1000 km Sports Car race. The record was finally surpassed by Timo Bernhard in a derestricted Porsche 919 Evo on 29 June 2018.
editing out the license plate was a challenge! some of the driveway was also photoshopped/drawn in, to make up for some missed shots. :) however, one can't really notice! patience pays off. second time attempting a proper bokeh panorama. enjoy!

We were driven from Stavanager to a small village where we caught the Lysefjord ferry. Our coach left the ferry at Lysebotn at the end fo the fjord and then drove up the mountain side on a road with 31 hair pin bends including two in a single land 5 km long tunnel. We then crossed the mountain tops for several hours before we came down into a valley near the village of Rysstad. from there we drove down to Kristiansand on the southern coast of Norway. A fantastic road and ferry trip.

Alas I think I inadvertently chased some ducks into the path of hunters further upstream. I didn't see them, but the sound of the guns was close. Sorry ducks!

During my final days in Portland, Connor and I took a final photo together at a beautiful cemetery that I've driven past since I was a little girl but never had a chance to explore. Connor grabbed his grandfather's old flight suit and jacket from the Vietnam war, and we went at sunset and wandered around while waiting for the sun to go down so I could shoot. We ran into two very nice elderly men as we approached this hill.
"I'm guessing you two aren't just here to watch the sunset," one said, observing our choice in outfits. The other described us using a word neither me nor Connor recognized but it intrigued us all the same (this one had a literature degree, we discovered thereafter). As the final light disappeared, I noticed the man who spoke first had a little bit of blood dripping down his arm and I panicked, but his friend quickly explained that they'd just walked through some thistles and got a little scratched up.
The reason I decided to type up that whole story is because it was almost poetic seeing two elderly gentlemen walking through a graveyard (or "trudging" as they put it, haha!) and I also want to add that I'm very satisfied with this title; it felt so appropriate, what with the place we shot at and the fact that I just left Portland a few hours ago.
Well, my ramble is done. Quick thank you to my beautiful girls, Shelby Robinson, Kasia Cheng and Kiara Rose for critiquing and such. :)
If Steve Bannon wasn't dangerous enough, now the cowards of Capitol Hill have anointed Jeff Sessions as our Attorney General ! In response our local watering hole is now offering super sized drinks known as "Bannon Balms." As the song goes, "Drink yer glasses empty !"
That night I had a terrible migraine so I went wandering to try to distract myself.
Also, the negative isn't backwards, I was on the back side of the hotel sign.

We had driven out along US 550, and it wasn't long before we found ourselves stopping for photo ops. This is just west of Bernalillo and Rio Rancho. This is looking toward the Jemez River and Jemez Reservoir. Jemez Dam is out of sight beyond photo right. This is almost at the turn off from US 550 that goes to the Santa Ana Pueblo.
An aspect of New Mexico I love, are the rounded juniper shrubs that dot the landscape.
Little did I know, but according to the tags that the Flickr autobot adds, New Mexico also sports giraffes in the landscape.
Whoodathunkit?
Back in December, Threes 194 had come to grief with a barrier exiting Victoria bus station and in this view is seen waiting on Union Road (aka the bus station exit) for further action. Oh well, these things happen. It ended up looping back round to re-enter the bus station, after which I’m not sure what happened but presumably it was driven to one of the TB garages for repair.

Pure as the driven snow............................................................................
The complete phrase 'as pure as the driven snow' doesn't appear in Shakespeare's writing, but it almost does, and he used snow as a symbol for purity and whiteness in several plays. In The Winter's Tale, 1611:
Autolycus: Lawn as white as driven snow.
As pure as the driven snow In Macbeth, 1605:
Malcolm: Black Macbeth will seem as pure as snow.
Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
