Why am I dumping so many seagull shots on my photostream? Two reasons: One: I really like seagulls. At least when they are in the air. On the ground they are noisy winged rats fighting for rotten scraps of vile, stinky garbage. But in the air they are pure soaring grace. And two: I'm working on a Jonathan Edwards Seagull type video. After staring at so many of these things for so long I'd love to get some other opinions on which I should chose to do some Ken Burnsy things with. Love to hear your top 3 to 5 if you have a thought. Thanks!
Class 321 diesel loco 321044 in the old RENFE green & yellow livery sits dumped at Miranda de Ebro stabling point on 27/Dec/2018.
From what I have read elsewhere this loco has sat here since at least 2007 and looks unlikely to be going anywhere soon, except for scrap, if it hasn't rusted to the rails!

The aftermath of bike-sharing. Bicycles are literally parked(dumped) everywhere.
TMax 400 developed with SPUR Speed Major.
This was just there, on the grass, during the golden hour of a nice summer day.
I'm almost tempted to just ignore the fact that someone again dumped old electronics outside just because of the poetic picture it provided.

Vehicles of Victory
A Chevrolet advertisment from the time of World War II had the slogan, "On the fighting fronts abroad, on the working fronts at home." If ever there was a front in North America, the Alaska Highway and Yukon would certainly qualify.
During the Second World War, Ford, International, Dodge and Chevrolet manufactured trucks for service in the American military. Producing 14,395 of their 1 1/2 tons, such as this 1942 G7106 Dump Truck, Chevy provided the bulk of these trucks for the war effort. Many of these trucks were deployed north for building of the Alaska Highway and Canol Pipeline projects. Marketed by Chevrolet as "Vehicles of Victory" in their wartime ad campaigns, the 1 1/2 ton was credited as "the truck that won the war" for the Americans.
The plain white star affixed to Allied vehicles was specifically designed for recognition from the air, and soon was the recognizable emblem of the Allied forces. Canadians often painted the star off-angle to differentiate themselves from American vehicles. Due to its size and lack of uniformity, it is likely that the star on this vehicle was not painted by military personnel. Various identification markings were applied on military vehicles used for Alaska Highway construction, including the stenciling of "Alaska" or "Alcan" Highway on the sides of vehicles along with an identification number.
Daring Souls
Despite its patriotic moniker, the trucks were temperamental in the harsh Yukon climate. The equipment was not designed for sub-zero weather, and Yukon drivers often kept them running 24 hours a day in severe cold. If a truck cooled off, the challenge became thawing the engine to allow for a restart. Creative and daring soul would crawl beneath the vehicle to place a lit tiger torch beneath it. This dubious task would warm up the oil pan and engine thus enabling the truck to restart.
