GBRf Livery 66776 "Joanne" passing Harrowden Junction on the 6G35 - Wellingborough to Toton North Yard engineers train - 22-10-17
He motioned for me to come over. I thought I was going to get harassed for taking pictures in the subway. I mean, what does it look like... a guy with tons of steel brightly colored yellow. He's gotta yell or do something.
But instead he wanted to talk about photography.

Whilst we were in the High Street in Guildford this chap came along and started chatting to me, asking why I was taking photos and what of. Once I replied he caught my accent and so ensued a long conversation about regional accents, engineering in the Midlands, the University in Guildford, windows painted onto buildings and other such random stuff. He was a really friendly chap who was keen to tell me about his days as an engineer so I asked him for a portrait which he was happy to pose for. This is the result.

As an aside, this Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM is a cracking piece of glass, can't wait to get it on my soon to be arriving 5D.

The engineer for the South Devon Railway was I K Brunel and the line as far as Teignmouth was opened in May 1846 and then to Newton Abbot on 31 December 1846. We are fortunate that in 1848 W Dawson from Exeter completed a set of watercolours of the newly constructed line from Exeter to Totnes which give us a great idea of the line at the time. His views at Flow (Floor) Point, Red Rock, showing the bridge that was built to give access to Luxton Steps and the ferry to Coombe Cellars, and the Summer House sites, where Rev. Commyns Summer House and the atmospheric pumping house on the land below Ware Farm could be found. These scenes have changed with the pumping house being demolished in the 1850s, but are its footings still there; a scan of the area would be interesting.

Mechanical engineer and Army veteran Mark Small started as an intern at Sandia and has since earned two degrees and a staff position. He now recruits veterans to the Labs through the Exceptional Warrior Career Development Program, a program he credits for helping him overcome struggles and move toward his goals. From directing combat missions in Baghdad to struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, read his story of grit and determination: bit.ly/32vVcH1

Soldiers from 4th Platoon, 73rd Engineer Company lower a concrete culvert into place. The 73rd Engineer soldiers are working to expand, extend, and improve the road network in Panjwa’i District, Southern Kandahar Province. Improved roads allow Afghan security forces gain access to remote villages in order to root out insurgents as well as helping local farmers get their produce to the markets. Part of repairing the roads is putting in culvert systems that prevent the roads from being washed away. (U.S. Army Photo By 2nd Lt.

One of the longest trains I think I've photted. 66565 is on the back of 6Y11 0450 St Neots - Stapleford & Sandiacre. The train reversed at Syston with 66549 leading it north 15/5/20. (Taken using a pole)
The crew is coupling the engine to the cars in preparation for making up the train for the NHRS Fan Trip. #68 is an Alco C420
This time I switched my position 90 degrees from the last shot posted to work on Engineer's south face with is the most well know mountain face in the San Juans. I have struggled to catch a good sunset with the cliff face saturated so I was happy.
There was a rain shower in the distance near Silverton which was more like a sunset shower with its redish illuminated glow.

Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region and birthplace of the Renaissance, is home to masterpieces of art and architecture. One of its most iconic sites is the Florence Cathedral, with its terra-cotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and bell tower designed by Giotto. The Galleria dell'Accademia displays Michelangelo’s “David,” while the Uffizi Gallery exhibits pre-eminent works such as Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and da Vinci’s “Annunciation.”
You don't have to go into galleries, museums or churches to see beauty in Florence, though. Look up and look around you. It's there for the asking.
All the train shots were taken with my church photo club... we chased trains for about four hours, too fun! This was also my very first time shooting in complete manual mode on my camera.

This is what I carry on a daily basis. See the notes for details. Taken on a cell phone camera (not mine) so the camera I do carry shows in the photo. I've considered getting a bigger bag, but I know it would just fill up with yarn and books, and weigh three tons.
Class 47 No.47334 in plain BR blue passes Southall with a short engineers train..
The two towers are worth also a mention. .
The brick Water Tower was built in 1903 and remained in use until the 1960s and has since been converted to residential use..
The blue tower is on the former Southall Gasworks site and still bears the unusual marking LHR on the side as a nav' aid to pilots!.
.
47334 originally entered traffic in 1965 as D1815 and was scrapped at CF Booth Rotherham in 2005.

I love my old boots. I really do. They are my third pair of Carolina brand engineer boots and all three pairs have served me well. However, thanks to a co-worker's recent purchase I started thinking about Wescos again. After a lot of agonizing over the cost I went ahead and bit the bullet and got a pair.
They're just ... solid. They make my Carolinas feel like toy boots. I love that they're hand made, every pair, and in the USA to boot. Uh. No pun intended.
I can already tell it's going to take a lot longer to break them in than it did to break in my old ones, but that's okay. I wear my boots every time I leave the house, so it won't be that long.
Having reversed in the York Holgate loops, Freightliner class 66 no. 66550 heads back south passing Copmanthorpe on 31st December 2025 with 6Y34, a ballast working from Toton North Yard to Colton South Junction.
On the outside Frederic looks just like any other member of the Hooman Empire, but he is actually a part of an alien race of unknown origin that simply appeared on the outskirts of the galaxy some 30 years ago, suffering from collective amnesia.
Having no memories meant that Frederic, and the entirety of his people, had to concentrate on survival rather than discovering their origins. They quickly started to make contact with neighbouring systems, but were met with more hostility than offerings of help. Food soon became scarce and, in a desperate attempt to save as many as they could, they sold most of their young into slavery, Frederic included.
As per chance Hugo was the one to buy him. He saw something in Frederic, something he couldn’t quite put his mechanical claw on. He decided to buy him and teach him skill necessary to perform routine maintenance on his mechanical body. Noticing that Frederic had talent for engineering beyond even himself Hugo decided to set Frederic free.
Years later they met again and Frederic begged Hugo to let him join “his” pirate crew, wanting to always be near, should Hugo’s body and mind ever start to fail him. Captain agreed on one condition, that he became the ship’s engineer.
