A duo of F59PHIs are seen at Newcastle as they make their way to the Auburn station to pick up a cab car. The cab car in question had been set out after one of the wheels ended up with a five inch flat spot. This flat spot was large enough that it caused the car to not be safe to run and therefore was fixed at the station. Now that it had been fixed, Amtrak sent a set of power to retrieve it and take the car back to Oakland.
If Jabba the Hutt was:
• run over by a steamroller
• made a guest appearance in a Flat Stanley book
• painted by a cubist artist
I think he would look something like this.

Brisbane’s inner bayside suburb of Shorncliffe is a quiet retreat filled with spectacular old Queenslanders, a few flats and boarding houses and set in a lovely spot between Moreton Bay and Cabbage Tree Creek.
We found this old set of flats, obviously built in 1895 and having served several functions over its life according to the attractive sign above the door. It now appears to be flats again. If it was a cottage in its first life, certainly a big one!
It’s Thursday Door Day today. TDD, DDD
I was surprised at the flatness of Manitoba since I never had the chance to wander around Winnipeg last time I was there. Everywhere you look, you can see for miles and miles. The only thing hiding your view are threes, not hills...
This mixed tank train seemed to bring us rain as it moved slowly through the flat lands on it's way to Winnipeg.

The Flat Garden at the Portland Japanese Garden.
From japanesegarden.com :
"The Flat Garden (hira-niwa) is an example of how gardens in Japan have continued to develop the dry landscape style of the karesansui garden over time. In a garden such as this one, the designer worked to balance the relationship between the flat planes (the ground) and the volume of stones and clipped shrubbery and trees to create a sense of depth of space."
I have only recently started to appreciate the landscape that is on my doorstep by taking more regular rambles into the countryside. This is a view of White Hill and Stubbington Down from The Gallops, located south of Kingsclere. Over the hill is the Hannington broadcast transmitter. I always thought of Hampshire being pretty flat - I have come to understand otherwise. I hadn't spotted the sheep on the right when I took the picture

A nice flat bed / pickup Mini from the 1970s seen at the 2015 Messingham Show in North Lincolnshire. The Minis on show in the classic car display were from the local Trent Valley Mini Owners Club.
My images are processed to look good on my laptop, and they do look good on there - and on my phone and tablet - I am aware though that some other screens will show my images as either too dark or indeed too light. This is due to individual screen settings and not my inability to produce a clear image ....

Granny Flats…
My granny lived in a block of flats
three storey’s high,
I can picture it right now
and I don’t even need to try.
Frangipanis in my hand
teddy in the other,
Slowly up the many stairs
walking with my mother.
I’m staying with my granny
time that I now miss the most,
Her flat with many windows
overlooking the city to the coast.
I would hug her tight and breathe her in
and smell that granny smell,
There’s nothing that replaces it
a tear rolls, it’s just as well.
Hand in hand through the park
and down to Darby Street,
Past our favorite bench
where we would sit and rest our feet.
Talking to the grocer
memories of a time now past,
When bread was bread and milk was milk
and fruit and veg would last.
Heading back with bags now full
much slower than before,
Spending time together
always meant so much more.
Now days grow old as we do
and noon turns into night,
Till there is no city below us
just a sea of starry light.
Teddy in hand and snuggled down
between blanket and blue sheets,
The soft warmth of comfort
puts me straight to sleep.
My granny lived in a block of flats
Three storey’s high,
She would see me from her window
as wave to me goodbye.
