Whilst I admire elegant shoes on elegant women don't ask me to wear any! Bare feet/flip flops is the way for me - hence my Trespass for MacroMondays Personal Footwear. HMM
13th build in my Iron Builder round against Duncan, using the Technic Rotor Blade part in Red.
I've used the part 4 times.
Two of the buildings in my office park. Image was flipped for an "upside down" theme in one of my groups. I love how these building glow during the first light of day. Shot at Carillon Office Park in St. Petersburg, Florida.

One of the things i love about photographing trains in Sri Lanka is the ability to access just about everywhere. Sure you still have to ask, its only right and respectful to do so but i have only once been refused entry to a railway facility, that was a oil refinary in the heart of Colombo...fair enough.
People are always pleased to see a western face showing an interest in their activities, when they find out you are English you can see it lights a spark of understanding, I am sure this is due to our colonisation of the then Ceylon. Most of what Sri Lanka is can be traced directly or indirectly to the British prescence on the island. All the railways were built by us, we established an NHS in the country, the education system is the same as ours or should i say 'ours was' the roads ( they drive on the left ) systems of local and national government and of course we introduced the tea plants and tea plantations which are still a major employer on the island.
This depot scene is Maradana. It is a busy facility and always has lots of big diesel engines present. This is a class M4 built in Canada at the Montreal locomotive works in 1975. This is loco number 752 and is one of 14 locos delivered in that year. They are all powered by the ALCO 251 V12 4 stroke engine kicking out 1750 hp. She /they are beasts.
The guys working on her are not indifferent to health and safety and in truth they operate with much caution in everything they do, its just that they have to provide their own personal protective equipment which they just cant afford so flip flops will have to do.
