Stefanowo, day of the steam loco parade. Ol12-7 shunts to the other end of the train which it brought here a few minutes earlier.
Most of the evening was cloudy, but we spotted a clearance on the horizon and decided to chase this train as long as possible to increase the chance of taking pictures like this.

An evening in central Singapore in the blue hour. this is the Esplanade which is located along the Marina Bay.
You can see other images from Singapore in my Singapore set.
You should watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format. the large version is a sixth of the original - The medium size shown here even smaller...

Early evening at the Reichstag.
The Reichstag – home to the German Parliament – is one of the most famous buildings in Berlin and the site of several historically significant events.
Built in the 19th century to house the parliament answerable to the Kaiser, it was from here that the German Republic was declared in 1918. The republic lasted just 14 years before the Nazis claimed power.
The Reichstag – the parliament which operates from the building is known as the Bundestag – was gutted by fire in 1933, an event blamed on the Communists and used by the Nazis as an excuse to suspend civil rights and take dictatorial control of Germany.
The building stood half-destroyed for many years, the Allies flying the Soviet flag from its roof as they battled to take control of Berlin in 1945 and only by 1971 was restoration work carried out.
For years, the Reichstag – which stood right on the border of East and West Berlin – was home to a museum and only in 1990 after the reunification of Germany, was it decided it should house the country’s parliament once more.
Reconstruction – including the building of a large glass dome on the roof – was overseen by architect Sir Norman Foster and was completed in 1999. Since then, parliament has sat within and tourists have flocked to the dome and the roof terrace above for views of the city and down into the chambers below.
This evening on the walk home from work, passing the front of the Royal Scottish Academy on the mound, dusk fading into full night, didn't have the tripod with me so I improvised sitting the camera on the handily flat-topped railings and taking a couple of shots on either side of the junction in front of the Academy.

Evening in Trafalgar Square, London.
On the left is the National Art Gallery, and in the distance the steeple of St Martins in the Field.
Inspired by Ren A's superb lake shots, i gave this a tiny tweek. Taken in early spring this year. There is a small single track road that runs past this dis-used reservoir, so anyone hoping it might be an ideal dogging location, will be sadly disappointed. LOL.
On the 4th September 2017 the "Bomar Moon" (2010, 2,803DWT) arrives at Teignmouth from Leipaja on a perfect early autumn evening. The German owned vessel was built in Bangladesh. The "Bente" alongside has the cargo of ball clay topped off but unfortunately she wasn't ready for the evening tide.
We went to London the other weekend. This annual trip started as a ladies one day shopping trip, intended to raise funds for Slaithwaite Brass Band. Jayne’s family have a long association with the band. Thirteen years ago I started going on this trip, one bloke amongst, around, 50 women. Eight years ago we persuaded Debbie Booth to organise it as an overnight trip. I’m still the only bloke beside the driver, Richard, from Stotts, who has taken us many times. We stay at the Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch, very central and very nice. It’s a fantastic value trip and once you have a place you don’t give it up. After a clear run down we were at the hotel around 11.45am and we were soon off on foot with the camera gear. The light was terrible, light grey sky bordering on white, rubbish for the daylight shots.
We didn’t have an agenda, we just meandered, no evening show, we just kept walking. For the first time I had taken a small tripod, a bit of a cheap thing but it’s light. We walked on the South Bank as darkness fell, the trouble is you can only target one place in the best light, before total darkness. We were by tower bridge at the time, I wanted to shoot the buildings around City Hall, curious if I could get anything worthwhile. It’s been done to death but I don’t look at other photos before I go, I like to just give it my best shot. It would require a bit of luck to have a situation that produced something out of the ordinary – or more skill than I have.
We worked our way in the dark across to The City. The Lloyds building was another target, again I gave it my best shot – for a first attempt. I had a good time and had a chat with a few curious onlookers. . On our way back to Marble Arch I photographed the big department store window displays and the Christmas lights, trying to find some colour in a drab day. I think it was John Lewis that had the Penguins in every window, very funny. Jayne knew about them from a TV ad, I don’t watch telly so they were new to me.
We were out early on Sunday but again the light was awful. We should count our blessings really, we have had dry and generally nice weather most years on this trip. Dotted around London are the Paddington Bear models which we had read about on our way down. We came across quite a few, mostly with a queue of people wanting their photos taken with Paddington. There were also a lot of model, new shape Routemaster buses, dotted around. It’s the Year of the Bus apparently, they have been painted by well-known or aspiring artists. The added a splash of colour to a very grey day. We walked out to Elephant and Castle, never having been before. It’s a bit run down but I was aiming at a tall building which turned out to be the Strata Building. I had to do the best I could but as you can see, the light was crap. The Strata has three, token gesture windmills built into the roof but you have to be a distance away to see them.
