In the last 18 months I have been to the Australian mainland's most eastern point (Byron Bay)and very close to the western (Steep Point) and southern (Wilson's Promontory). With the Tip, I can now claim to have been to the four corners of the continent.
I love poppies and I finally saw some on a beautiful walk today.. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did...
There were many Metrolink officials out witnessing the testing and quite a few of the busier grade crossings were covered by employees providing flagging protection just in case. All seemed to go well and they only ran as far as Glendora where they posed the loco for photos under the last remaining cantilever signal bridge, sporting a vintage US&S R2 three-color signal. Part of the reason for the delay in putting these things in service is there are some safety compliance issues with the ones that have been delivered so far. One of the things that was pointed out by another fan in some of his detailed images from Saturday is the handrail length has been modified on 905. Seems they didn't extend down towards the ground far enough. In this image, 905 has reached Glendora and is posed just past the last remaining cantilever on the Pasadena sub. Within three-four years, this scene will be altered immensly as the extension of the Gold Line east from Azusa to Claremont will occupy this r-o-w and a separate freight line will be built adjacent to the two light rail tracks.
Finally caught it, originally blue, and a tipper, the "brother" of this one (78-33-RH) is now in the mainland...
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.

Finally getting to do some beauty work with Aurielle. She is in town for only 2 weeks, so were were lucky to have some free time to make this image..
also i had the pleasure of having one of best Make Up Artist in my surrounding area for this shoot..
Morgan has so many way to do make up, but here is a great example of super clean, yet colorful work..
Morgan and Mom were around to help us make this falling feather look.. they were both on the step stool flanking Aurielle and shaking the feathers from a card board box, we took about 15 shots , and finally we got this perfect shot!
i triggered by using the Cactus V5 and the was enough light to set off the rest of the profotos.. pretty simple..
lighting details below
Metroline TE1436 (LK13BFA) is seen at Archway on Northern Line Replacement Service UL4.
This was the first time I had seen a Metroline bus on rail replacement with the Roundel, every other time the drivers have used the "double arrow" British Rail logo.
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.
finally managed to get into south yorkshire transport trust today after several attempts seen here in the entrance is GM buses dodge minibus C807CBU
Finally, after over a year and many promises, here is my version of Arkham Asylum.
There’s no need for many explanations here in this text, because I designed an 82-page Making-of-book that explain every little step. And the best part: It’s for free.
You can find all the pages here on flickr or you can download a free PDF-version from Uploaded.to. You don’t need to create an account, just follow this LINK. It takes about 20 - 40 minutes.
Well, I hope you enjoy everything.
Finally! One That i LOVE! You wouldn't believe how many feet and foot pics I have taken of the poor boy since he was born! LOL
I have had my eye on this location for well over a year and finally the conditions were perfect for what i had in mind.
Brand New NS 272 comes roaring by Shell road with #4466 leading its way to Portlock yard. always fun to see the WRFX leasers that are running around as of right now.
This train used to be 271 but was changed to 272. Even numbers are supposes to be Eastbound and odd number are supposed to be Westbound. Makes me wonder if there gonna changed 275.
I don't often like remodels (as they take away uniqueness), but this one was needed.

[although you wouldn't think so this morning...]
After waiting for four intermodal trains to cross in front of it on the NS Chicago Line, train 188 bound for Detroit is finally underway on the Huntington District in Butler, Indiana.
My first springtail ! This was a real fight for me. I never thought, that something so slow is so difficult to photograph ! Thanks to Edward Nurcombe (Eddie The Bugman) and Andy Murray (andybadger), which showed me this fascinating world with their magnificant pictures.
Allacma fusca ? I found some of them nearby.

Got my commando droid samples in this morning. All plastic injected top notch. Can't wait to start selling them.
I found this wooden 1/6 scale table and bench set on ebay a few years ago. I've had it painted several colors and really didn't like any of them. I restarted them a few weeks ago and finally finished them up today. I'm very pleased with the results. A least 3 different layers of paint were applied, then I really sanded the pieces down paying attention to the edges. I also scratched up the pieces using an Exacto knife. I then used watered down, gray chalk paint to add a glaze, wiping it off if it got to dark.
Finally, my first full size steam locomotive is finished. I never imagened that building a train could be so satisfying.
I've never owned a lego train in real live because I always fell like the were too narrow. After some better research I found out that the wheels of a train weren't nessesarly at the outer edge of the train. This opened so much possibilities for me and the fun could begin.
I suddenly had wild plans for an entire line of locomotives and rolling stock. In order to further increase my understanding of trains and there history I wanted to build my trains in a chronological order, a plan that failed with my second locomotive, but who cares.
I hope you like this one and please feel free to comment!
