Occupation - helps driving steam engines at weekends at Derek Marder's Yard of various steam rollers and traction engines. This was taken before her face got sooty from the steam rollers !!

while shooting the last image i posted of the engine, another train came flying around the bend, so...
You never know what you will find walking the beach. This engine block was slowly being reclaimed by nature. The sea and waves had already filled all the available spaces with small pebbles shells and seaweed. They shone like jewels against the dull metal.

Special:
- It was the new generation smooth Detroit-inspired style German cars, designed by Chuck Jordan, showing first signs of GM rationalisation with Vauxhall (sharing same floor pan and suspension with new generation Vauxhall Victor FE).
- The Rekord D Series (easily mistaken to connote a diesel-powered car), so later renamed “2” Series (1971-1977) was already in production before production of the Rekord C was ended (1966-1972).
Two steam engines in the station of Werningerode. This light railway line is among the few regular train services in Germany which still uses steam engines.

Taken in Elsecar, Yorkshire. My hubby had a steam engine 'footplate' driving experience and this was his instructor. Monochrome and a little extra grain to achieve a vintage feel.

Somewhere between my birthday and the lunar eclipse back in January, I had the emotional equivalent of the 'check engine' light in my car. And just like when it happens in the car, the light just pops on with no warning or even an indication that something is wrong. When it happens in the car, nothing is noticeably different. The car keeps driving; usually it's just a glitch with a sensor. Needs attention but not something to stop you in your tracks. This is much the way I began feeling. And the faulty sensor seemed to be the one that propels these flickr posts. The creative process didn't stop. I was still actively shooting; what failed me was the ability to post process. Don't think I realized until then the significance of post processing in my work. Not just the technical manipulation of the digital files, but more importantly the interpretive process that accompanies it. Don't get me wrong; the raw images gathered out in the field are the main fuel source for my creativity. But generally you would be shocked at just how lackluster the images really are straight out of camera. It's the post processing stage where the images are polished (often transformed) and usually where I begin to appreciate their significance. And it's somewhere in these later phases where the written narratives are born. Anyway for some weeks I felt unable to make any connections; the raw images remained raw. The narratives remained unwritten. Not sure what set this in motion. Maybe a degree of cabin fever, the sense of time passage brought on by another birthday. Underlying all of this is the sense of wanting to maintain the quality of the postings. Along with that was accepting defeat, at least for a while. I found getting out of the habit off nearly daily posts was as difficult as it was to get started in the first place. I love the challenge and find it stimulates creativity. I'm not sure anything really got resolved, but for me, simply having that timeout and reevaluation was good. Don't know where it goes from here, but I'm not going to over-think it either. Just go with what I know.
