Class 50 locomotive No. 50004 St Vincent approaches Fairwood Junction in Wiltshire with the 14:30 London Paddington to Penzance service on Sunday 22nd October 1978, presumably after a call at Westbury station.
Swinging in from the right is the Westbury avoiding line, built during the nineteen-thirties. This 2 mile 37 chain "cut-off" line* would have sliced a couple of minutes off the schedules of expresses between London and the west of England. Furthermore, I am fairly sure that the construction of this new piece of railway provided much-needed employment during a time of economic depression.
Coming back to 1978, notice that colour light signals are already in place here, and that looks to me like the remains of a recently-felled semaphore signal lying in the grass between the converging lines.
* The new line was actually one chain longer than the old route through Westbury station.
Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline silicates, since crystals require intense heat to form and these “dirty snowballs” spend most of their time in the ultracold Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Now, looking outside our solar system, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has returned the first conclusive evidence that links how those conditions are possible. The telescope clearly showed for the first time that the hot, inner part of the disk of gas and dust surrounding a very young, actively forming star is where crystalline silicates are forged. Webb also revealed a strong outflow that is capable of carrying the crystals to the outer edges of this disk. Compared to our own fully formed, mostly dust-cleared solar system, the crystals would be forming approximately between the Sun and Earth.
Webb’s sensitive mid-infrared observations of the protostar, cataloged EC 53, also show that the powerful winds from the star’s disk are likely catapulting these crystals into distant locales, like the incredibly cold edge of its protoplanetary disk where comets may eventually form.

NS 8103 forges through an intense downpour as it navigates coke empties across the Ohio River at Kenova. The bridge at Kenova is one of the signature locations of the former N&W, and catching the heritage unit here was an absolute delight. The train was combined with an empty coal drag at Portsmouth before heading into the heart of the Pocahontas.
I encountered 8103 by pure chance. As I drove Eastward on Route 823 for home, I noticed a headlight for an opposing train (as one often does on this stretch of road). I was only mildly interested until the blue and yellow of the N&W heritage unit blew by me at track speed. I made a frantic U-turn and raced it back to Kenova, beating it by only a couple of minutes
I think all the Iron Forge competitors are familiar with the situation. My build from round 1 sitting on the building table, while I'm dreaming about the next Iron Forge build.
10 cups/goblets have been used throughout the moc: 1 for the pick-a-brick cup on the table, 2 for the headboard, 1 for the dreaming cloud,1 for the left pillow, 2 for the sandals, 1 for the lamp and 2 for the curtains "hook".
Made for the 2024 Iron Forge Round 2.

Mamiay 645. 150mm. FujiRDP.
The first loon I've ever found on Horn lake and since there are a few homes and some campsites, it seems reasonably habituated to humans in kayaks so I could get fairly close without scaring it. What a beauty!
Captured forging north in premium afternoon light, Bombardier 'Super Voyagers' (fitted with tilting mechanism and different bogies) VT 221114 & 221101 on 1S77 13.18 London Euston - Glasgow.
Much maligned and I only photograph them in very good light, the Avanti West Coast Voyagers 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 Voyager fleet, along with 13 Class 805 bi-mode units as part of £350 million contract with Hitachi. These entered service in 2024.

I was visiting the WWT Welney nature reserve when I saw this mute swan very gingerly step onto and walk through a flock of black-tailed Godwits on one of the shallow islands. It took the best part of a minute for the swan to walk a few meters before settling down, and most of the time the Godwits were happy with what was happening - but this is the moment a few of them decided they wanted to relocate just in case!
The Forging of the One Ring-
“The Elves made many rings; but secretly Sauron made One Ring to rule all the others, and their power was bound up with it, to be subject wholly to it and to last only so long as it too should last. And much of the strength and will of Sauron passed into that One Ring; for the power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency; and Sauron forged it in the Mountain of Fire in the Land of Shadow. And while he wore the One Ring he could perceive all the things that were done by means of the lesser rings, and he could see and govern the very thoughts of those that wore them.”
Also please note that this is my first attempt at editing. I’d love tips or feed back
Sadly, the Finkl metal forging company will not be at this location much longer--they are moving to the South Side. I'll miss coming here on Sundays, when they are closed, and taking photos of their acres of strange machines, metal scraps, and cool buildings.

This is the second image for my metamorphosis project at University. After noting down my initial ideas for the project I thought of around 10 in just a short space of time, and as I only need 4 for my final assignment I've decided to make a new series out of the images, so I have reason to shoot the other ideas and possibly more!
This was shot in a field of bluebells, I'm not sure if that's obvious here but it was a very beautiful place to be, especially whilst we were there at around 8pm and the sky was losing light and turning dusky.
Thank you also to Connor for coming shooting with us and holding back the parachute when it kept billowing out!
P.S my Facebook page only needs 6 more likes to reach 400! I'd be ever so grateful to anyone who'd go and check it out and like or even share it :)
Oh, and of course, this photo was incredibly inspired by both Brooke Shaden and her sac series, and Alex Stoddard with his many images linking back to nature and ideas of metamorphosis.
Forging ties beyond borders. A string of sentence vaguely familiar. A sweet candour embalmed in spirits.
Some of you who had followed my work for the longest time might have find this lady familiar. Yes, she's the beautiful soul we met at the Sarawak Cultural Village, March last year.

The 1931 baby is seen hard at work forging the new year.
One of the most recognizable illustrations of J. C. Leyendecker’s storied career as a commercial artist is the New Year’s Baby he designed for the cover of “The Saturday Evening Post” at the beginning of each year. His first baby was delivered for the December 29, 1906 issue of the Post, and the series continued uninterrupted until 1943, each one insightfully capturing the spirit of the times.
Leyendecker was continually searching for better ways to depict the holidays. He created many fanciful covers that caught the spirit of Christmas, Fourth of July, Easter, and Thanksgiving. But the New Year’s babies are arguably his most memorable.

The Good Panda was present as I shot this 3 minute exposure of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as it launched from Cape Canaveral. The photo was taken on the beach in Vero Beach, Florida which is about 70 miles south of the launch site. This launch released 60 Starlink satellites which will help create a network to deliver broadband internet service to parts of the world that have no access. It was shot using a Tokina fish eye lens. SpaceX is forging a new path as is Flickr.

A shot of the Blacksmith at King's Landing in Prince William, NB making a wedding ring for a daughter of one of the more well to do villagers who would be paying in cash. He was making it with a leaf design since she liked gardening. Once done, we was going finish it with bee's wax. 17 July 2020.
The river in its infancy, on its way to bigger and better things. Photo taken on a rather dismal day down Langstrothdale where the River Wharfe starts its life.
Forging ahead of my hubby in a forest heavily populated with grizzly bear, I casually asked if he had brought the bear spray along. When he said "No" - I became a little more aware of my surroundings. If a bear came from my right - I could not jump the fence and get away, as the terrain plunged straight down into Million Dollar Falls. Happily we did not see a bear on our trek to and from the brink of the falls. But this spring, I think I'll carry the bear spray. ;)
