Spent a couple of hours with the Children of the Corn on a deserted road while a storm front passed over. Who knew corn could generate so much noise?
The storm came in with a wallop...and I was lucky enough to be able to get out and shoot after the worst of the rain and wind moved on. Still got drenched...and more than a few times the lightning had me second guessing myself out there in that field. Oh well...devil hates a sissy :-)

At Balshaw Lane, south of Preston, the up slow line has been severed and new junctions installed on which work still continues. The down slow is still connected but out of use. The new electrification equipment is energised but not yet in use for service trains. Here class 86 E3183 (86251) is about to take the new turnout from down main to down slow with an electrification train. 4/7/1973
The 'slow' lines deviated here and joined again further on. I've always wondered which set of tracks came first, and why the deviation.
The junction has been remodelled since!
Kintetsu Railway Co.,Ltd.: with just over 500 km of tracks, Kintetsu is Japan's largest private rail company excluding Japan Railways Group. It operates in the metropolitan region of Keihaishin, linking the cities of Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Nagoya, Tsu, Ise and Yoshino. Most of its network is standard gauge, although it also has several 1,067 mm gauge lines southeast of Osaka. All are electrified, most at 1500 V DC.
An Express train from Toba to Nagoya passes, without stop, through Hatta station.

A group of e-bike mountain bike riders where also out enjoying the day riding up to the Col de la Pierre Plantée. It appeared to a local tour group ride. Great idea to explore more of the area.

VMH2532 crosses the Euston Road as it finishes a journey from North Finchley, TALLY HO! on route 134. The full electrification of route 134 has yet to take place due to the unreliable systems of the Optare buses and therefore hybrids still operate.

Big monsoon storm rolled into the city Friday night. We tried to get to a desired location in the East Valley to compose some shots. But the front was moving so fast that it overtook us. When the pouring rain and wind eased up, I managed to get a few of it behind us.
Lens was a Tamron 01BB 24mm f/2.5.

While this car is indeed surprisingly very willing to be driven offroad, I got all those mud all over me when an a**hole drove his truck at full speed across a mud pool in front of me :(

Grand Rapids, Mi...5 second exposure. Quite possibly the coolest image I've taken to date. I took literally hundreds of pictures and this was one of the only ones that came out good.
Istanbul Haydarpaşa Railway Terminal ( 1871 ) .
History ; Ottoman Era (1872–1922)
İstanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire as well as the largest city in the empire. İstanbul was a major economic and cultural hub. However, İstanbul had no rail links, so in 1871 Sultan Abdülaziz ordered a rail line to be built from Haydarpaşa to İzmit.Haydarpaşa station opened in 1872, when the railway reached Gebze. In 1888 the Anatolian Railway (CFOA) took over the line and the station. Since the station was built next to the Bosphorus, freight trains would unload at Haydarpaşa and the freight would be transferred to ships. Haydarpaşa station saw its first regular passenger service in 1890: a daily train from Haydarpaşa to İzmit.[5] In 1892 the CFOA built a line to Ankara and shortly after a daily train ran between the two cities.
Interior hall in Haydarpaşa Terminal
Haydarpaşa was chosen to be the northern terminus of the Baghdad Railway and the Hedjaz Railway in 1904, and, with rail traffic increasing, a new and larger building was required. The Anatolian Railway hired two German architects, Otto Ritter and Helmut Conu, to build the new building. They chose a neo-classical structure and construction started in 1906. Its foundation is based on 1100 wooden piles, each 21 metres long, driven into the mushy shore by a steam hammer. German and Italian stonemasons crafted the facade embellishments of the terminal. The German engineers and craftsmen who worked at the construction site of the building established a small German neighbourhood in the Yeldeğirmeni quarter of Kadıköy. The new pseudo-castle structure was completed on 19 August 1909. The new terminal was inaugurated on 4 November 1909 for the anniversary of Mehmed V.The new terminal was built on land reclaimed from the sea. World War I broke out in 1914 and the Ottoman Empire sided with the Central Powers against the Allied Powers. The Ottomans lost and İstanbul was taken over by the British Empire. Haydarpaşa was under strong military control by the British during the occupation.
Republican Era ; 1923–Present
The Turkish Independence War ended on 29 October 1923. The Republic of Turkey was formed and the British Empire withdrew from İstanbul. Haydarpaşa terminal was still under CFOA control but in 1927 the newly formed Turkish State Railways took over the CFOA and the terminal, in an attempt to nationalise all Turkish railways.In 1927 the CIWL started a premier train service from Haydarpaşa to Ankara: the Anatolian Express. This all-sleeper train travelled daily between the two cities. In 1938 the Eastern Express entered service from Haydarpaşa to the eastern Turkish city of Kars, a distance of 1,994 km (1,239 mi).[7] With the completion of the Baghdad Railway to Baghdad, the famous Taurus Express entered service in 1940 from Haydarpaşa to Baghdad, a distance of 2,566 km (1,594 mi).In 1965 the Trans-Asia Express entered service from Haydarpaşa to Tehran, a distance of 3,059 km (1,901 mi).In 1969 the tracks from Haydarpaşa to Gebze were electrified with 25 kV AC catenary for the Haydarpaşa-Gebze Commuter Line.
