Thursday morning at the colliery, and the locomotive has just been sent down the wrong road by Dudley who’s on his damn notebook again and Deliberation Dave - both of who aren’t paying attention, despite them offering to change the point for shunter Shifty Sigmund stood with his back to us.
The driver of the loco luckily was on the ball and quickly applied the brakes. Phew. But Sigmund’s language cannot be repeated here, despite most of you, my loyal readers being of more sterling stuff and not of the easily offended on behalf other people variety.
This part of the colliery is interesting historically, because before the railway came and drastically changed the immediate landscape, there used to be a canal here. The humpback bridge in the distance used to cross over the waterway, but was kept when the railway was built.
The locomotive is stood on a 1 in 20 gradient, quite steep for a railway I’m sure you’ll agree. And whilst it’s not the steepest adhesion railway in the whole of Little Britain, it certainly is in this part of the Somerset Coal Field if one ignores the nearby cable hauled inclines of Kilmersdon, Clandown and suchlike.
A short flight of locks used to be roughly where the gradient is, with the one here being a 3 compartment ‘staircase’ flight, which made it particularly unpopular with the boatmen who worked the coal canal, especially in latter years with badly leaking gates.
And finally, the canal now terminates out of shot to the left next to The Pedant & Armchair pub. It was formerly known as ‘The Coal Boat’, and had a very different type of customer back then before it became a favourite haunt of the squeaky voiced nasally afflicted railway loving hobbyist and narrowboat loving gongoozlers.
Olá meninas, quanto tempo! rsrs
Então, acho que estou ficando viciada nessa coisa de Gradiente! Depois de um tempo, olhei pro Cotton Candy e pensei: hum, acho que fazer uma gradiente do lilás pro roxo vai ficar bonita, começando por ele (cotton candy).

Beijo!

We are swimming in tomatoes now. I've frozen a gallon bag of cherry tomatoes, and will freeze a few more before the season is finished. It means we'll have amazing tomato sauce or soup when only bland supermarket tomatoes are available.
Okay, I got bored ... It has been raining and storming outside today, so I couldn't get out to my garden area to take some wonderful color shots ... so this will have to do for my fill of color.

Afternoon light creates a wonderful gray gradient in building 44 Montgomery Street, San Francisco.
Pilatus Bahnen AG: the Pilatus rack railway connects Alpnachstadt (440 meters above sea level) to the summit of Mount Pilatus (2,073 meters above sea level), with a 800 mm gauge single track and a length of 4.8 km. This is the steepest rack railway in the world, with a maximum gradient of 48%, and has some features that make it unique. It uses the Locher rack system with side pinions, since conventional rack-and-pinion systems with vertical pinions did not provide the safety of the gears tracing the rack on the strongest ramps. Due to the use of the Locher rack system, the wheels of the original steam railcars did not have flanges on the wheels at first, although later all the wheels were endowed with external flanges, and not inside flanges as is usual on all railways. Therefore, the switches are also not conventional, and instead of having moving parts, are enormous devices that move laterally, or are turned over.
The line was put into service on June 4, 1889, and electrification at 1550 V DC was put into service on May 15, 1937.
The service is currently provided with twelve railcars. In 1937 SLM and MFO built eight electric passengers railcars (numbers Beh 1/2 21-28). In 1954, SLM built a freight electric railcar (Ohe 1/2 31), although it is normally used as a passenger car after the construction of a body with the number 29 in 1962. In 1968 SLM built the last electric passengers railcar, the number Beh 1/2 30. Finally, in 1981 Stadler built the diesel departmental railcar Xhm 1/2 32.
The railway is operated by means of the "train package" system: two convoys are formed of several railcars that run in driving on sight mode between them. At the intermediate station of Ämsigen cross the ascending and descending convoys.

BR Black liveried Standard 4 no.76017, recently restored at the Mid-Hants Railway, pounds up the 1-in-80 gradient away from Alresford, seen here at the cutting under Bighton Lane during the 2016 Autumn Steam Gala.
Trackmen and workers pause for a moment from their routine as a robust looking palindrome WDP-4 from BGKT in LHF negotiates the TSR and the typical SWR gradients pulling the Udaipur bound Palace Queen Humsafar express from Mysore.

Gurias, to com muita pressa!! hehe
Nesse gradiente eu usei o Rainha Elizabeth (La Pogee) na parte superior, o trancoso (Panvel) no meio e o Emerald City (Accessorize) nas pontas. Finalizei com uma camada da Base Glitter da 5cinco e uma camada de roxinho da colorama.
Adorei o resultado, o gradiente ficou super suave!
Beijão!
¡Hola!
Primero de todo, siento la falta de actividad en esta página, la verdad que entre la Uni y que no tengo cámara me está siendo un poco complicado hacer fotos.
Como se puede adivinar por la calidad de esta foto, está sacada con un móvil, intento no perder las ganas :)
Por otro lado, me hice una página en Facebook, asà que si os gustan mis trabajos podéis seguirla
Andong train station, timed the sunset just right, got off the train, walked off the platform, got this. Nikon D800.
A different take on GBRf Shed 66763 as it passes Melton Ross under brooding skies with the 12.45 Immingham - Cottam PS (6F57) on 12th May 2015. I think this was just before the thunder, lightning and hail storm!
Figured I'd leave the gradient post in for this one.

It may have been from the lack of a legitimate photo
