The green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris; Groene zandloopkever (Dutch)) is one of the fastest running insects—relative to body size. It can hit speeds up to 5.6 mph (9 km/h). Tiger beetles are named for their aggressive hunting style. They have large mandibles used to grab and dismember prey—mainly ants, spiders, and other small insects.

So, yes, the security guards in the distance seemed to be staring...
Minding my own business and starting to photograph the station entrance I was unnerved when suddenly someone was right next to us. It was a security guard, although I thought it was a police officer. I'm not good with security and tend to immediately think that I've done something wrong and clam up. I'm pretty sure I turned bright red when he asked:
"What are you doing?"
I mean- I was taking photographs, wasn't I? Turns out, you're not allowed to take photographs without prior permission in the area. Now, I understand how taking photographs of CCTV and stuff like that would be frowned upon, but just the wide open public spaces?! I just don't see how one can 'privatise' an entire area when one can just walk/drive/take a train in and out without passing any check points.
I had to show the man every shot I had taken that night and even then he seemed very unhappy with us. He eventually gave us a telling off and said we could keep going. I took one more shot but he was still watching just a few metres away so I gave up. I felt very embarrassed and stupid... and that was the end of the night out.
This is one of my favourite shots, where the (frankly, quite large) station entrance is dwarfed by the huge towers that surround it. I'd like to return to Canary Wharf for more photographs in the future, but those security people combined with my anxiety... not such a good mix.

The entire background story of heavy ST43 class employment in passenger service in summer 2004 you may read here, although there's another link for digging this rabbit hole even deeper. Here ST43-116 heading fast train 43101 "Bieszczady" from Gliwice to Zagórz, a moment after passing Sobniów Junction. July 23, 2004.

Szersza opowieść o tym, czemu latem 2004 na pociągach obsługiwanych przez jasielską lokomotywownię można było spotkać głównie ST43 (i parę gościnnych SP42) znajduje się tutaj (choć i tak tam jest link do jeszcze bardziej szczegółowej opowieści o przyczynach), natomiast tu zauważymy tylko ST43-116 w obsłudze pociągu pospiesznego 43101 "Bieszczady" z Gliwic do Zagórza, chwilę po minięciu posterunku odgałęźnego Sobniów. 23 lipca 2004 roku.

I’m sure you all know where this was taken, that’s correct, St. Peter’s Square, Manchester.
One of these days you might get to see what the tram stop really looks like; or maybe not!!

You know, you're out with your camera and you wonder - 'Just how fast are a butterfly's wings?' [No? Just me then] Well, this one was taken at 1/3200 of a second so it turns out the answer is 'pretty fast'.

A UP Z train heads by an industry in Chester, IL on the UP Chester Subdivision with a GE Tier 4 and an EMD Tier 4. Although it isn't easily visible, the Mississippi river is just off to the left of the industry.
Been meaning to do a shot like this for a while. =D

234 blasts up the hill under the Webster cantilever signal. With two back-to-back eastbounds at this location, I got to try something different for what otherwise would have been a throwaway angle on the close track.
I photographed these litter of fox cubs back in May when they were cute bundles of fur and fun... now some 8 weeks later they could almost be mistaken as adults... they do grow up fast.... IM sure it won't be long before they are off on their own adventures and mischief.... but maybe I'll try for one more visit before that happens....
