Finally got to test out the new Gen 2.0 Impossible Project Film yesterday, and I've gotta say it's definitely a step up. The colors were great, you could see the image a lot sooner (although it still takes a while to fully develop), and I didn't need to shield it.
The only thing I need to try now is shooting when it's warmer outside. Like most other batches, this one has a more blue/green hue to it when it's too cold outside. I missed the Spring like weather by a day and ended up shooting when it was 55 degrees outside. Can't wait for my next chance with this stuff!

These snow drops are always the first sign of spring.

Finally for today, a looooong-overdue pic, showing the completion of the Aldi remodel in Southaven. (Remember when I first posted about that? Way back in March? Yeah, it’s been a while XD ) The store celebrated its grand reopening on June 29th, 2018, and hickmanjack got a few pics which you can see beginning here and scrolling right. My shot here was taken on July 24th, 2018, when crews were right in the middle of installing the new logo on the new monument sign base. (Apparently this couldn’t have been done prior to the grand reopening, haha!)
Unfortunately, I had a feeling Aldi would sacrifice its high-rise road sign so it could display its new logo instead! As I’ve mentioned before, Southaven no longer allows pylon signs, so if you want your new logo displayed, you have to settle for a monument sign. In my mind, ditching a tall sign just for a new logo’s sake is a stupid move, as the tall sign has better visibility (by virtue of its height, of course!). Some Southaven establishments have recognized this (including, if I’m not mistaken, IHOB, which I’ve noticed just recently refreshed its façade)… while others have not, and are subsequently much-maligned – and deservedly so – here on flickr for said poor decision-making.
The Olive Branch Aldi remodeled shortly after this location, and as a whole, Aldi continues to work its way around the greater Memphis area on a remodel spree. I hope to get updated pictures of the OB store eventually, and post those to my blog in an even more distant future period :P
This Saturday’s images comprise our final set from the long-running Barnes Crossing Kroger series, so be sure to stick around for those! Additionally, I hope to have a blog post up later this week as well – but that will all depend on when I’m able to find time between my finals, and studying for said finals. (And the annual Action News 5 Holiday Food Drive on Wednesday, which I always make time for XD ) That said, keep an eye out for all those pics – both here and on the blog – and until then, please enjoy a few more music recommendations!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
NS 732's DPU is one I've been trying to grab since the MRL became a fallen flag. Shoving hard on the loaded coal drag, the rear of the train is passing through downtown Hiram, Georgia on its way south to Atlanta and eventually Plant Scherer.
Finally the Lilac-breasted Roller - yes, the same one in the two previous uploads - took off and I actually got it in time! Sometimes it's worth the patience and effort! Photographed in the Kruger National Park.

Hi guys!
Yesterday, Portugal finally won the Euro 2016, after a very hard battle against France.
Portugal organised twelve years ago the Euro 2004 and we made it to the final, but unfortunately the Cup went to Greece. For twelve years, the Portuguese lived the dream of "what if...".
But no more! ^^
The French team on the other hand won the last ten games against Portugal. They were so overly confident that the game was already won that they even prepared and painted a bus for the victory before the game even started!
And it seemed that Portugal was going to lose because 25min after the game began, France midfielder Dimitri Payet violently crashed into Cristiano Ronaldo, with a tackle that didn’t draw a whistle from the referee… He was the only player that participated on Euro2004 who was still on the National Team. His only dream was to win the Euro.
Ronaldo, our best player left the game. But surprisingly and even against mighty France, the Portuguese players didn´t gave up! And almost at the end of the game, Éder scored and Portugal won!
It was quite impressive to see the French players looking completely stunned after the game ended. The French victory was an assured thing! It was the final in France!
And today I was at the Airport to support the arrival of the Portuguese Team to Lisbon. Two F-16 fighter jets escorted the plane that carried the Portuguese National Team.
Most importantly, this victory belongs to the Portuguese emigrants and descendants living in France who supported our team to the end.
Finally, we won the Cup!

... I got rid of the dreaded neck line that made me look like I hadn't washed for weeks !!! Maybe I'll get a dance now ! ;-)
...it got me too.
Been feeling strange for a couple of days, and today things went worse, fast.
My spouse got me a self-test kit from a neighbor.
Took the test which immediately showed I got the shit.
She looked at me, smiled, and said:
"What is it then? A boy or a girl?"
I love that woman. Even if she makes me cough instead of laughing.
I don't often like remodels (as they take away uniqueness), but this one was needed.

After finally tracking down some wi-fi (the free airport wi-fi can be activated with your boarding pass, not so helpful if you are arriving rather than departing) and getting our Eurail passes activated we grabbed a train from Zurich airport into the center of Zurich. Before boarding a train for our final destination for the day we had a look around the platforms and checked out the station switcher.
And finally, on this brief visit to Stowe landscape gardens in Buckinghamshire, one last glimpse of the Palladian bridge – one of only four in the United Kingdom, and the epitome of architectural elegance.
The glory that is Stowe has been attracting visitors since 1717. These magnificent 250-acre gardens, now owned and administered by the National Trust, provide lakeside walks and views of temples, monuments and follies erected by the aptly-named Richard Temple (1675-1749), who later became the first Viscount Cobham.
A much-decorated soldier and a Whig politician, Cobham was mentor to William Pitt the Younger, who was twice Prime Minister. After Cobham’s death, the gardens gradually fell into disrepair and remained so until the 1980s, when Stowe School donated them to the National Trust. Since then, they have been restored to their Georgian splendour, and work continues.
I don't think there are many things in life more unpleasant or difficult, than moving from one home to another. With respect to fun-ness, it's right up there with root canals, in my opinion. This past weekend I finally unpacked the last box, and fully reclaimed the garage for its intended use, following a house move which began six weeks earlier. Whew, did that feel good!!!
To celebrate the completion of this onerous task, I hopped on my bicycle Sunday afternoon and rode far into the Santa Monica Mountains, beginning at my home in Tarzana and ending high on the Mulholland Fire Road. The weather couldn't have been better -- it was pleasantly warm with just a hint of Fall in the air, and the sky was brilliantly clear. At my planned turnaround point I got off my bicycle and slowly took in the view around me. That's when I finally felt I was at home :-)
I snapped this photo of the vista, with my cell phone. It's a westward view looking into Topanga Canyon, and the most distant mountain ridge stands adjacent to the town of Malibu on the coast.

been a long week, was starting to think Friday would never get here.
have fun and be safe
and now for something completely different...
Finally an own freight car design again, yay!
Came across the prototype in a YouTube video by N-Scale Dystopia (highly recommend the channel) and immediately knew I had to make one of those. Basically a normal gondola, but taller due to the fact that it's meant to haul scrap/trash, which usually is lower density.
From what I've found it'd be prototypical to build it in black, white, lt grey, red, green or blue.
Thanks to Chris Stone for helping me out with the end parts, they turned out so nice.
