Hardening the iron after forging

Captured forging north out of the early morning mist in Golborne Dale, 22112 & 221108 on the 06.03 Birmingham New Street - Preston.

Much maligned and I only photograph them in good light, the Avanti West Coast 221's are now an 'endangered species'.

I personally hate to travel on these things but they have put in a prodigious amount of miles for their TOC's since their introduction in 2002.

* In December 2019, Avanti West Coast placed an order for 10 seven-car Class 807 electric units which will replace its Class 221 fleet, along with 13 Class 805 bi-mode units as part of £350 million contract with Hitachi. These are planned to enter service in 2023.

Australia’s finest craftsmen competed at the Ekka in classes ranging from novice and open blacksmithing to forging and shoeing for horses. This competition is a true demonstration of skill with competitors designing and shaping metal over hot flames.

Happy 2017 to everyone!

I really wish I had done a FP or something different with the angling as the horizon line for this scene is too far off, but whatever. I'm still kind of happy with this scene. The main inspiration was trying to construct one of the log cabins the men built when they first arrived at the site.

 

Enjoy.

The Earth’s newest land expands in dramatic fashion in this view looking down on land a quarter mile or more further out than the old coastline. Red hot lava breaks out of the crusted over lava delta, pouring into the sea and literally boiling the ocean water into a cloud of laze. It’s amazing to think of the huge volume of lava required to feed such a massive amount of new land, with the coastal mass expanding over a 2 mile wide section. By this point in the eruption the volume had already decreased from an estimated peak of 26,000 gallons of lava per second flying out of Fissure 8 at 18 miles per hour. The sometimes violent interaction between 2,000 degree lava and the cool Pacific waters was spectacular to behold. This view is from 3,000 feet up in our Paradise Helicopters charter.

Megan helped me take this yesterday at the tree farm! I have not sat down for the past couple of days, and now I need to go to bed. I will write a run-down of what I have been doing eventually though, I promise. Haha :)

Year 1500 to 1600 of the Second Age -

 

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

 

The Lord of Gifts, a fair elf by the name of Annatar, decieved the Noldor Elves of Eregion, counselling them in arts and magic, learning them how to forge the Rings of Power. Ten years after the creation of the Rings, Annatar, Sauron the deciever, forged the One Ring to control the bearers of the other 19 rings. As soon as Sauron put on the ring, the elves became aware of the betrayal, hid the rings, and thus started the War of the Elves and Sauron. The Siege of Eregion marks the beginning of the war. This will be the next episode on Norlego's account, coming this Saturday. Be sure to follow all the builders tagged. Finally we would like to thank Blaine's World for sponsoring our collaboration!

Forging strong camaraderie within their own ranks is a core tenet of G.I. Joe's warfighting philosophy. One of the preeminent facilitators of this is Gunnery Sergeant Wendell "Leatherneck" Metzger, a U.S. Marine tasked with balancing the rigorous tasks of both frontline infantry and warfare training. Having previously served as a Drill Instructor on board Parris Island, Leatherneck is no stranger to pushing recruits to their physical and mental limits to be the best at what they do, and he asserts that the same principle must also be applied to those who have already earned their titles in the armed services. For him, training never truly ends, and his method of playing as the "enemy" in training evolutions is done to keep new members of the Joe team on constant alert.

 

His abrasive and less-than-personable attitude with others is a universally-recognized trait in Leatherneck's character, but the man himself uses it to convey the message that you may not like the people you work with, but you must be completely willing, comfortable, and able to fight alongside them to accomplish the greater mission at hand. Rumor says that the only other Joe that Leatherneck has any sign of an actual friendship with is Petty Officer 2nd Class Brian "Wet Suit" Forrest, a Navy SEAL with the same affinity for rigorous training to build physical and mental strength. Their separate branches of origin make their rivalry inevitable and their arguments gargantuan, but their respect for each other is foundational, and they watched each other's backs to great effect during the first invasion of Cobra Island.

I got snow shoes so I could hike in deep snow. I wanted to see if I could actually do it. While the shoes certainly made it possible, it didn't mean it was easy. I didn't bring a sweatband for my forehead because it was 15 degrees outside. It's crazy to think I would need one. But I had to wipe my forehead every few steps and it was almost impossible for me to see or enjoy the view. Fortunately my camera could capture it and I could enjoy the view later at my leisure :)

 

I desperately need to figure out how to arrange a way for me to sit without soaking my bum :). I'll probably need to get some kind of snow pants.

The forging of swords, daggers and knives has a long tradition in Myanmar. The making still follows the old rules.

As the low winter sun begins to set, and the temperature now registers -35C on our thermometer, two 760mm gauge 'C2' class 0-8-0s with a dozen coal trucks in tow, although not visible in the smoke and steam, battle their way home through previously cleared snow drifts on the exposed plain between Tuoyaozi and Huanan, with what was to be the final train on this railway, on New Year's Eve 2009. Evidence of previous snow drift clearance work can be seen by the snow on the leading locomotive's headlamp and front buffer. The resolve of the loco crew on this line never ceased to amaze visitors, keeping these locos going against all odds in extreme weather conditions and frequently undertaking running repairs along the line and at the depot in the open. The 32 kilometer Huanan Coal (originally Forestry) Railway, latterly serving a colliery in Hong Guang, finally succumbed in favour of road transport on 4th April 2011.
