Snorkelling on Moorea, French Polynesia
My edit of David's GoPro video (my underwater camera failed me!)
Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, Ilwaco, Washington, USA.
We were a couple days late for the massive waves that looked to have pushed driftwood and picnic tables all the way into the parking lot, but at least the sunset was nice.

WD 2-10-0 600 'Gordon' at Longmoor in August 1969.
One of the preservation story's that didn't work out. I seem to recall that there was a lot of opposition from very wealthy and powerful local residents wanting to keep their 'bit of heaven' to themselves. In any case only part of the line was on offer and this would have given a significant limit on developments. .
I would have been 14 when this was taken by an unknown photographer. Part of the Tom Derrington Collection.
Gordon can now be found in the Engine House at Highley on the SVR. I understand that it is a very hungry loco for coal and in this anti-smoking era would not be considered for restoration.
I put off my picture again until the last minute and tried to shoot a water droplet illuminated by an off-camera flash with a purple gel. Working with speed lights has always been a frustrating experience for me as I have not mastered how to set them up or control them properly. This is the best of the bunch and it is not sharp or clear, but sometimes we have to fail to figure out the areas that need improvement. I might have to keep working on this type of image until I master it.
The Stourbridge Line is operated by the Delaware Lackawaxen & Stourbridge Railroad Company and features a former Bangor and Aroostook BL2 and a former Canadian Pacific FP9A dressed up as Pennsylvania 9880 with a Hancock Air Whistle.
The railroad has 25 miles of historic railroad winding through Northeastern Pennsylvania along the Lackawaxen River Valley on former Erie trackage.
It was very hot on this day, so the crew can be excused for having the air conditioning on full blast. The oncoming shots of the F-unit with the door wide open are a complete fail aesthetically speaking, but I'll go back and redo this outfit when the weather turns cooler.
This was the outfit I was planning to wear this evening for my trip to my local pub.
As these pictures suggest, I actually felt kinda cute in my dress and wedges.
However, in taking one final look in the mirror before heading out of the front door, I was stuck by a crisis of confidence; a fear that I looked like mutton dressed as lamb (as we say here in Britain).
I was gutted. My confidence fell through the floor and I had to quickly change outfits yet I still wasn't happy with my look. However, with a table booked, I had to just run with it and accept that tonight was one of those nights where I just wouldn't feel special.
‘Rats’ 25262 and D7535 cut off the power past Caddaford with the 08.35 Buckfastleigh - Totnes. Later in the day, D7535 would fail with a fuel pump issue resulting in 25262 pushing its set all the way from just south of Staverton to Buckfastleigh.

Grace Chan's ones look sooo good.
Global Wildlife Conservation is holding a photo fails contest on Instagram. If you have a near miss image with a great story you have the chance to win an amazing grand prize. I don’t expect this to be a winning loser, but it is definitely a #wildlifephotofail. In April I spent a day on safari with Daniel Dietrich of Point Reyes Safaris. He picked me up at dawn in hopes of seeing Tule Elk at sunrise. The sky was clear and sunrise spectacular. We positioned ourselves to photograph the Elk with that big sun. I have a couple of okay shots but I could never get an impressive bull in a satisfying pose, other than one with skewed antlers. Fail! After that we turned our lenses toward the sea where there were some impressive elk grazing on the rim. Tonight I pulled up my best frame with both separated and looking in the right direction and then I noticed. Both are urinating in this frame. Double fail! April 2017
So, the analogy of 'blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there' seems appropriate. A major alert for aurora, a starlit sky outside my door all conspired to make it seem a worthwhile trip out to Bellanoch - only to arrive in pitch blackness, with full cloud cover and then heavy rain. The joys of photography.
I'm actually in this picture. Floating seemingly weightless in the air in embrionic bliss.However I forgot to turn the flash on, sooo...
66156 failed in section between Par & St Austell with 6P07 08.20 Fowey to Parkandillack clay empties 25th Jan 2016. The loco was declared a failure around 09.10 and 57303 scrambled from Long Rock depot to assist forward to Burngullow. Single Line Working was instituted over the UM line (with moi as Pilotman). The class 57 then hauled the clay train to Burngullow after 11.00 with GWR Driver Phil Jones in charge - seen passing St Austell station.
Phil worked the last occasion a class 57 hauled the clay train which happened almost exactly 12 months ago!
Thanks to Chris Goff for lending me his Canon for these shots too!!
This flock of geese decided to avoid the ice shards and instead headed for open water on the St. Lawrence River.
I will shoot all weeklypics this year with Instax Wide (and the Instax Wide 300). This was intended to be a camera selfy with four cams. However, the damn camera did flash on a bright sunny day (although inside) and that ruined the picture. I hope I get better soon.
The sharp 1-in-76 climb from Westbury Yard towards Dilton Marsh Halt proved too much for 'Western' No. 1048 'Western Lady'. Heading a substantial train load of ballast from the Mendip quarries towards Salisbury on 12 June 1975, 'Lady' was struggling from the outset and finally succumbed part way up the bank. The driver and guard are deep in conversation while awaiting rescue. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
