The body language of the tramdriver reflects the daily frustrations of his job, traffic jams. Looks like the bus is blocking all rail traffic on the Dam in Amsterdam, 1976

not only did they drive off the road all by themselves, the response was not to call a tow truck. instead FIVE firetrucks, 2 ambulances, and 3-4 cop cars. glad to see thousands of tax dollars and many man hours were used to respond to total stupidity. The driver and an alleged plain clothes police officer told me to stop taking pictures. I told them to piss off, this is public land.
Our driver was focused on a rather long series of switchbacks as we weaved our way down the steep mountain side.
The Great Western Railway (GWR) 5700 Class is a class of 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive, built between 1929 and 1950. 863 were built, making them the second most-produced British class of steam locomotive.
The GWR had favoured pannier tank locomotives since 1911 when they had started rebuilding saddle tank locomotives built between 1870 and 1905 into this style. By 1929 these older locomotives were in need of replacement.
The first 5700s were almost identical in appearance to several of the older converted locos (e.g. classes 645, 1701, 1854, 2721) and had round spectacles (windows) in the cab front, but those built after 1933 from no. 8750 onwards had rectangular windows and a slightly different cab profile.
Eleven 5700s were bought by London Transport and used on the London underground network starting in 1956. They replaced older LT steam locomotives on permanent way trains and were never used on normal passenger services. Main line running included trips between depots, to Acton Works and runs out to Croxley Tip, near Watford. A further two locomotives were later bought to replace classmates that were withdrawn in need of major repairs.
They were numbered L89 to L99 and were allocated to the depots at Lillie Bridge (Kensington) and Neasden. Only eleven were running at any one time, the original L90 being withdrawn for repairs but scrapped instead and replaced by another locomotive which carried the same number.
L92 was built as 5786 at Swindon in 1930, transferred to London Transport in 1958 and withdrawn in 1969.
5786 came out of service at the end of October 2011 and returned to service in March 2013 in the striking maroon livery of London Transport as No L.92, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of London's Underground in 1863, the world's first underground railway, between Farringdon and Paddington.
we'd just gone to several rather disappointing wineries and were trying to decide whether to hit up the last one or not. We did, and were really glad of it, because it was fantastic.

Irrigated wheat field in Yuma, Az. Estimated world wheat production during 2007/08 was 636.2 million metric tons and is expected to reach 677.8 by 2016/17 with an annual consumption average increase of 0.9%. This increase in wheat production will lead to increased fertilizer use and a higher chance of nutrient pollution in water bodies.

This driver was driving up Olive Way, eating Frosted Flakes right out of the box. On the bus. Eating while driving. That's so nasty. I'm glad I didn't have to get a bus transfer. Yuck.

Sometimes being designated driver isn't that much of a chore. 'Dolgoch' awaits departure time with the 11pm for Rhydyronen.

Gahh. BAD photo! But at least I have a valid license in my pocket.
Yes, I blurred out my important info, I'm not dumb Tony. And note, no simple blurs or colored boxes for me, I go all artsy with a mosaic...

Transbus Dart 10.7 SLF / Transbus Pointer.2 , N38F. seen here paused on Worthing seafront,when based here,before it was involved in a accident on 03.01.12,with a fallen tree all our hopes are for the drivers speedy recovery.
This engine is in the collection of the Elgin County Railway Museum at St. Thomas, Ontario. It is a Hudson Class K-5-a 4-6-4, built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930. In reality, this is engine #5703. #5700 was to be preserved, but was accidently put under the torch at the end of the steam era. When CN realized what had happened, they pulled #5703 out of the scrap line and renumbered it #5700. For years it was part of the collection in the locomotive barn at the Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa until becoming part of the collection in St. Thomas.

While travelling through the Sinai desert on an admin trip the driver stopped at a little Bedouin camp for tea (no idea where as I was sleeping when we arrived).
This old man welcomed us and invited us into a small brick room for tea, the inside of which were swarming with hoards of flies and for this reason a fire was burning throughout the day which resulted in these awesome light rays through the smoke inside.
This is one of those instances where I REALLY regretted not having brought my DSLR (as it was an admin trip), and all I had with me was a Sony TX-9. A camera (could not be more 'point and shoot') which I purchased exclusively for its HD video. I've always hated the quality of it pictures (only jpegs) with no manual control...fine for snapshots but thats about it.
Have to say I was more than surprised when I managed to get this shot...the colour version of which looks almost as good:)
We were there for no more than 10 minutes so quite happy that I got this shot (along with some similar HD video).
