Asian green bee-eater perching on a fire hydrant.
Wikipedia: The Asian green bee-eater (Merops orientalis), also known as little green bee-eater, is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family. It is resident but prone to seasonal movements and is found widely distributed across Asia from coastal southern Iran east through the Indian subcontinent to Vietnam. Populations in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula that were formerly assigned to this species (under the name Green Bee-eater) are now considered distinct species. They are mainly insect eaters and they are found in grassland, thin scrub and forest often quite far from water. Several regional plumage variations are known and several subspecies have been named.

The friendly face of Pete Hackney on the footplate of the 'J27' at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway.
Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road.
Well my buddy walked out and left his woman burnin' out of control.
Well I was down there in about an hour or so.
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go.
I'm the fireman, that's my name.

I was lucky to get another footplate ride on the Middleton railway today, I took my camera with my 15-30mm lens to capture as much as possible in the confined space.
He’s on his way up to a pod to join a couple of others. They are dousing an already destroyed abandoned warehouse which still has a few hotspots. Some of the rubble is visible in the lower right of this image. Thanks for watching with me.
The driver and fireman await with anticipation for the signal to give clearance to get the locomotive back on its journey. Captured on a Timeline Events Great Central Railway photo shoot.

45231 comes out of the tunnel at a very autumnal Chirk with a LSL fireman training run ,a conscious attempt was made to conceal the consist of 4 MK3 coaches and a diesel on back . The unexpected pencil beam of sun was a bonus.20-10-2020.
There has been a church there since the 12th century, but this church itself was built during the 14th & 15th centuries, and restored in the 19th Century.
Buried side by side in the churchyard are two railwaymen, engine driver Thomas Scaife and fireman Joseph Rutherford, who both lost their lives when the boiler of a locomotive exploded in Bromsgrove station on 10 November 1840. Their gravestones both show reliefs of steam locomotives.
One way I taked a walk on the famous delicious food street in Shanghai and I found some difference in front of a hot pot restaurant. Bronze Chafingdish is the most traditional hot pot in China and the chef of the restaurante was preparing the chafingdish for the customers. The sparks was floating behind his back when he was heating the chafingdish and just looks like a super hero as Super Fireman.
For weeks after the Towers fell, there were funerals at the church around the corner from my home. This one was for a fellow Fireman.
They have such lovely rhododendrons and azaleas at the Jenkins Estate.... The care of the plants is done by the Rhododendron Society and is all volunteer work....This is one of the better maintained parks in our park system... At least I think so :-D
St Mary's Bay Camera Club meeting at The Romney, Dymchurch and Hythe Railway saw a great advantage to find lots of grime and oily dirt.

Today the fireman and people did two drive byes. One for a lady who turns 90 today and a young lad turned 7. Lights and sirens and look at those SMILES.
When I was about 16, I saw this fire; it was probably around 1955. I went home, got my Leica M3 with collapsible f/2 Summicron lens, drove back to the fire, which had been put out by then, and got this shot of a tired firefighter. It's the first of my photographs I considered a success. There's one other shot from that day in this gallery.
