New post: "Ways of Remembering":
With the first snow of the season finally sticking I went out trackside close to home to shoot the Seaview Transportation working down in Quonset-Davisville. A plow truck on Davisville Road is ready but not needed for the two inches of powder that fell, just enough to make everything pretty, but not enough to necessitate any cleanup work.
The Seaview crew is doing a bit of switching in the east end of the Ocean State Yard near MP 2 on the Davisville Branch side of the railroad, and after gathering up their cars they will back west to the junction and then down the Quonset side to work mainstay customer, Toray Plastics.
SVTX GP10 1855 was built as a GP9 in Aug. 1956 for the Baltimore and Ohio as their #6467. Later rebuilt by ICG's Paducah Shop she bounced around on different shortlines until coming to Rhode Island in 2006 where she was given this snappy paint job.

Some shots from skiing at Whistler. Composing a shot is was a little tricky for me while skiing and it went something like this. [Skiing along and come to a great view] stop - stick your poles in the snow - take off your gloves - unzip your camera pocket and take out the camera - try to see something on camera screen (no viewfinder) - too bright outside to see - remove googles and try again - still can't see anything - by now my glasses have darkened to sunglasses like a day at the beach (my glasses are auto tinting and extra sensitive in the cold) - look over my glasses like an old man trying to read the newspaper and finally see something and take a shot - reverse procedure and keep skiing.
The first flight that I have seen of this year's Osprey hatchlings. It flew from one end of the nest to the other. It did not seem too surprised I suspect it was not it's first.

Another nail in the coffin of the square sun society! I have no idea where the Flickr map feature has disappeared to, it's been a while since I've had my camera out, but for those who are interested in this location it's the less posh side of the Chiang Dao mountain near the Laowu Wiang Haeng Gate. If you don't mind the cold conditions in a flimsy bamboo hut without any windows, precariously perched on the edge of a narrow ridgeway, the night sky and early morning mist are quite amazing. But then the hospitality shown by the local hill tribe villagers is in my opinion far better than any posh nosh resort on the other side of the mountain range for only a quarter of the price.
(my bad, found the map just below!)
First South Yorkshire: 35137 (SM65 LNC) a Wright Streetdeck, painted in this two tone blue and silver version of corporate livery. It is captrured here inside Midland Road depot in Rotherham on the occasion of an enthusiast's visit.

I wasn't expecting this one. The overcast suddenly ended when my apartment turned bright red and I ran to the window.
GML10 & G511 lead a late running 1146 to freo! This was GML10 first time leading after finally getting a radio put into it out of GL102
This is another from the archives. Have the day off tomorrow and weather permitting should be able to head out.
This one is from our visit to Greece. Sunrise looking over towards mount Athos. Amazing light and very little done to this photo other than curves adjustments, sharpening and cropping..
I was going to load this up as a black and white, but the colour just seemed more incredible..
As always appreciate your comments and visit. Enjoy your day...
This is the last of my Skye shots from my latest trip, and I think I may have a rest from Skye for next year (probably, never say never though!)
I toyed with the idea of the northwest highlands again, but have decided that I'm going to have a crack at the Cairngorms, I've only shot there a couple of times (very briefly) before so I think that's good enough for me.
First trip will be for a couple of days in February - I'll be camping as I want to save my cash for the big trip next year - back to Florida for my third anniversary! I'm sure it will be brutally cold but it'll be worth it with any luck.
I've got 10 or 12 shots dreamed up already for the Sarasota area - can't wait to get there!
Canon Eos 5D, 70-200 f4, not sure if I used filters or not.
Hit L to see this on a dark background, photos always look better when they are not against bright white.
All of my photos are taken as one shot, unless specifically stated otherwise.
If you are going to post an invite to a group, please read my PROFILE first. Thanks.
First Leicester SN65OKE 35153 seen coming into Leicester Haymarket bus station on service 14 to Beaumont Leys
Even though Sortelha gets very little tourist movement, there's a bar open at the main square. Here the first customer of the day received her morning coffee.
Not too shabby of a spot for our first Hawaiian sunset.

Thank you Flickr member "rding tchr" for introducing me to Picnik. My PhotoShop Elements performs much of what Picnik offers but I joined for the collage templates.
This is what I miss about First no longer operating in Plymouth, the random variety thrown up, well before 'bustimes.org' existed you never quite knew what might appear while waiting with the camera!
There were a few not so well presented buses but on the whole I always thought the Plymouth fleet was well turned out and the drivers friendly on the whole.
A none standard type vehicle within the group at this late stage it came to Devon with 3 others via Glasgow when First took over Hutchinson Coaches, Overtown.
Of course with First long gone from here the 2 services continues in the hands of Stagecoach but you won't find anything this rare operating on it these days!
