An M42 17mm Takumar lens adapted to my Sony A7. The lens was made sometime between 1967 and 1971. The largest diameter of the focus ring is 66mm. Lens and adapter measure about 57mm in length. This is what the lens sees. HMM and thanks for any views, faves and comments.

MW2239's Equipment rolls down the hill past Racine Avenue and the distinctive PRR "Western" style signal bridge, the gates lifting quickly after their passage.
These are the big chicks, getting ready to fledge. I've been watching them for a few days, but they've either been flapping on cloudy days or sitting in the nest like bumps on a log on sunny days. I finally got them flapping on a sunny morning even if with the distance away, the partly cloudy sky behind, and the shady nest, the photos aren't the best. This may have been my best chance given that they'll leave soon and cloudy conditions are coming up do to frequent thunderstorms. Great Blue Herons, Siskiyou County, California
Sometimes I like the picture I take, but most people don’t like it because it does not interest them. This is a picture of farm equipment; I took this in Sutter Buttes California. I took it in harsh light, but I managed it in post. I hope you like it.
An equipment move from Long Island city is powered by an MP15 moving a DE30 and a single coach to the yard as MOW crews work within the interlocking.
What ever this piece of equipment was/is must have been pretty heavy as it is place on a cement structure. Maybe a part of a heavy-duty motor?
They're making a helluva racket on Richmond St. over the past few months, laying some sort of jumbo plumbing. They dig, lay pipe, put in temporary plates and asphalt, then return in a month to dig it up again and do some other kinda thing. I'm sure there's a method to the madness but when you're trying to listen or talk in a meeting, it can feel like giant sand worms are burrowing through the street - sometimes the whole house shakes! This gear was occupying our usual parking spot one morning.

Zimmerman Farm, PA I'm not sure what this is. A tiller of some kind I suppose. Anyone out there know?
Old farm equipment is often left out in the field, never to be used again--except as a subject for someone passing by...
Heritage unit service on Metro-North's Hudson Line on Sunday, March 2, 2025 mainly consisted of P32AC-DM locomotives 222, 229, and 230, all sporting New Haven Railroad paint schemes. Locomotive 222 - the newest heritage unit in the railroad's fleet - debuted two days prior in its green prewar livery. Locomotives 229 and 230 are among the oldest heritage units in the railroad's fleet, painted in "McGinnis" scheme by their owner, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (the locomotives and other CDOT-owned equipment is pooled for Metro-North service). Locomotive 230 stands out from its sister units 228, 229, and 231 in that is has unofficial Penn Central "patches" added below the cab windows.
Here P32AC-DM no. 229 is seen hauling Hudson Line train 8741 around the curve at Marble Hill, Manhattan.

Imaged from my light-polluted backyard in the Niagara Region. So many re-processes, I finally ended up with this. As always, more time under darker skies would help. I blended some 10 second exposures of the core in.

Not sure how flickr picked up Canon 7D with the 300mm, I do own that camera and lens but this was definitely the Xsi through a telescope! lol
A teddy bear and Clayton approach \Bewdley tunnel
The British Rail Class 17 (also known as the Clayton Type 1) was a class of 117 Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotives built 1962–1965 by Clayton Equipment Company and their sub-contractor Beyer, Peacock & Co., on behalf of British Railways (BR).
During the 1950s and 1960s BR procured a wide range of Type 1 diesel locomotives, many of them under the Pilot Scheme. However, several officials felt that the single-cabbed arrangement used by the majority of Type 1s presented drivers with visibility difficulties in the 'less convenient' direction. BR therefore approached several manufacturers to seek a new locomotive that had a centre cab and low bonnets to maximise visibility. Clayton were selected to produce their proposed locomotive as the Class 17. Its low engine covers required the use of a pair of Paxman 6ZHXL six-cylinder horizontal engines, which had been intended for powering railcars; it was a somewhat unorthodox arrangement for the era.
Production of the Class 17 was undertaken between 1962 and 1965, with the locomotives being assigned to the north of Britain and the Scottish Region. Early on it was determined that the locomotive was not suited to heavy freight trains, and they quickly acquired a reputation for unreliability largely due to the engines, which continued to deliver poor performance even after extensive modifications. The Class 17 proved to be one of the least successful of the Type 1s, such that by 1967, long lines of unserviceable locomotives could be found stored in less accessible sidings at various locations across the Central Belt of Scotland (e.g. Ardrossan and Millerhill).[2] Withdrawals took place from July 1968 to December 1971, meaning some members of the class had a working life of less than 5 years. One was sold to an industrial user, which has now been preserved.

D9551 was built at Swindon in 1965. Class 14s are known as ‘Teddy Bears’ by enthusiasts, following a comment by Swindon Works’ erecting shop foreman George Cole who quipped, “We’ve built The Great Bear [GWR No 111], now we’re going to build a Teddy Bear.”
D9551 entered British Rail service in September 1965 at Cardiff Canton. Following a move to Hull Dairycoates shed in January 1967, D9551 was withdrawn from BR service in April 1968 after less than two years and seven months in BR service. It went on to work for the British Steel Corporation at Gretton Brook and Corby. It was purchased for preservation at the West Somerset Railway and subsequently moved to the Royal Deeside Railway Preservation Society in 2003.
The locomotive was acquired from Deeside by the SVR Class 14 Company Limited, arriving on the 25th of November 2013. An overhaul took place at Bridgnorth, and on 30th of April 2016, D9551 underwent its first test run on the SVR between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster. This was followed by a loaded test run on 26th October 2016, after which the locomotive was classified as serviceable. Further work and testing took place however before its debut at the Spring Diesel Festival in May 2017.
D9551 initially carried a non-original golden ochre livery on the SVR, originally an experimental livery carried by BR Class 52 D1015 Western Champion, but in June 2023 was repainted into its original green livery.
Maintained by a small group of hardworking volunteers, D9551 has become a favourite on the SVR and is a useful and reliable locomotive, successfully completing its duties such as rescue locomotive and tail locomotive for the Steam in Lights trains at Christmas.
