One August evening after a fierce storm the clouds and light were aligned just right. This lasted for about 10 minutes. Then everything went dark.
A scene on a September evening at Dunsandle Station, Co.Galway. This was the only intermediate station on the Attymon to Loughrea branch line, constructed in 1890.The branch was nine miles long and closed in 1975. The track remained in place until the mid 1980s. It was hoped to turn it into a preserved railway but the effort failed for good when the trackbed was severed by a new motorway. The track was lifted in 1988 .The main station building at Dunsandle still exists as a private dwelling. It is a Midland Great Western design,with one platform, and a small stone goods shed, opposite with a loading bank. The owner of Dunsandle Station has restored the buildings, and has re-laid track through the station. Former Westrail stock, which had lain lay derelict at Tuam have now been moved to Dunsandle where they are currently been restored. Amongst the stock includes CIE E Class locomotive No.E428, shown here. It received a coat of paint a few months ago. There is also one carriage and three wagons on this site. The lovely old LMS style carriage is deteriorating as it awaits restoration. See www.flickr.com/photos/56264100@N02/8744306177/in/photolis...

I was about to close the studio for the evening when several of these showed up for a few seeds and a drink. After bargaining with them for a pose they got their seeds, drink and flew away.
Far from me, at the end of the lake, I glimpsed for a brief moment this golden evening light with all its revelations...
Weit von mir entfernt, am Ende des Sees, erblickte ich für kurze Zeit dieses goldene Abendlicht mit all seinen Offenbarungen....
I thought I would see how I managed getting about on my own with my one hand.. I surprised myself. It was great walking around the city again. There was a lot to see because of the RISE festival.
December 22, 2013, Christchurch CBD New Zealand.
Street artists armed with spray cans and paint rollers are coming to the rescue of Christchurch's struggling suburbs and city centre. Dozens of large artworks have been created on walls across the city this month with many more going up this week.
The RISE street-art festival has commissioned a dozen large street-art paintings in the city centre, while the From the Ground Up project has organised about 16 large artworks in the city centre and Sydenham. Christchurch business owners and city leaders believe street art will help regenerate areas hit hard by the earthquakes and draw tourists to the city.
Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce chief executive Peter Townsend said street art adds ''a whole new dimension'' to what the city offered.
"Putting street art in significant places in our city has the potential to make Christchurch unique,'' he said.
''It can create a real point of difference for a city and transform otherwise ugly buildings into an asset for the city.''
RISE festival director George Shaw said vibrant street art changed the feel of a city.
''If you paint amazing art on blank walls it brightens everything up and makes the place feel relevant and alive.
''That is desperately needed in cities across the world and especially in Christchurch.''
From the Ground Up organiser Jacob Ryan said about 20 New Zealand artists had created artwork in the city for the project.
''We wanted to get the city going again and make Christdhchurch a more interesting place. The aim was to brighten up the city. It has a real impact on this scale. Christchurch is the perfect canvas.''
Sydenham Quarter chairman Anthony Barker said street art had brightened his quake-hit suburb and attracted shoppers.
The business association helped get permission for street artists to use walls in Sydenham for the From the Ground Up festival.
The RISE festival also includes a major street-art exhibition at the Canterbury Museum opening tomorrow. The exhibition will feature one of the largest private collections of Banksy artworks in the world, work by international and local street artists, and new work by Australian artist Ian Strange.

Off for my second MRI scan today - I hope they find what they are looking for this time!! I will try and chill for 30 mins or however long it takes, with the buliding site noise banging around my head - if you've had an MRI you'll know what I mean!! So I've put this peaceful shot of Torquay up, which I took in July on my phone - will try and picture it when I'm laying there!
If you want my honest opinion: because I've been feeling so normal the last week or so, with only a touch of a headache (cured with a simple dose of paracetamol) from time to time, I can't believe anything bad will happen. But they do say pride comes before a fall, so I don't know if there will be some scare along the way! Please continue the positive vibes - I'm sure they are helping me enormously through this 'limbo' period!!
Huge US Air Force Lockheed C-5A Galaxy, 68-0224 raises her nose to unload her cargo at RAF Mildenhall on a June evening way back in 1975.
We'd watched her arrive earlier - standing under the approach lights until being enveloped by her gigantic presence and thunderous noise - she washed right over our heads with everything 'hanging out' to land at this sprawling Suffolk Air base.
Back then she came under the appropriately named 'Military Airlift Command' (MAC) which replaced the old MATS (Military Air transport Service). MAC is long gone - now renamed rather insipidly - AMC (Air Mobility Command).
One of the largest aircraft flying most early C-5A's are being phased out to the boneyard in Arizona but some of the later C-5B models are being rebuilt as the vastly improved C-5M with new systems, engines and a 'glass' cockpit, these giants wil be around for a few more years to come.

artichoke growing in our garden, was there already when we came to live here 13 years back... three children around her, huge size, a feast to see the violet blue glow in the evening light
The evening at camp was perfect. Gorgeous light, calm water and perfect reflections. While the boys finished dinner I climbed up on the cliff and snapped a few photos.
Guam is so beautiful. Had to climb over razor sharp rocks, walk through tidepools, and dodge waves washing over to get this. In the end it was all worth it!
