SEPTA 488, a former CTA 6000 series unit pulls away from what I think was Villanova PA in March 1`990.
D801 shoves hard on the rear of a loaded coal train as the head end and rear end crews do battle with Saugatuck Hill. Manned helpers were required on every coal train going up the hill until very recently, when CSX began adapting the use of DPUs. Even so, occasionally a train will still be pushed over the hill by manned helpers, a rarity in railroading these days. The Executive SD70MACs with the old school BNSF logo on the nose were always my favorite BNSF units.

Can any of you wonderful people please help identify this plant, I found it growing right on the west coast of Scotland in North Ayrshire. I cannot remember ever seeing it before and I would really appreciate if you can identify it, thanks in advance.
Anyone headed to Bricks By The Bay 2016 who has 4 Tan Technic pin connectors (without slot), 5 Tan Wedge Plate 4 x 2 right and/or left? I'm currently in a time crunch for BBTB, and with the only stock for these pieces on Bricklink requiring at least two weeks for delivery, I may not have the Baracuda camouflage scheme ready in time.
If anyone is able to lend a hand, please give me a PM!
If you know of someone who may be able to assist, please tag them to this photo.

Crawford Hill in Nebraska is one of the relatively few places in the country in which manned helpers are still in use. The grade on Crawford Hill varies between 1.5% and 2.0% on the eastward journey. Coal loads from the Powder River Basin (and even some manifests) are too heavy to make the climb with the standard 2x2 configuration BNSF employees on most coal trains. However, extra power is not needed on the train other than on the west slope of Crawford Hill. It would be a waste of power to run extra DPUs the entire distance the train runs. As a result, a helper crew is based at the small town of Crawford, NE. Here, a pair of ES44ACs are the manned helper, shoving behind the pair of SD70ACes on the end of this coal load. In another few miles, at the Belmont Crossover at the top of Crawford Hill, the helpers will cut off the train and return down to Crawford to wait their next assignment. The entire length of the journey for the helpers is only about 12 miles (one way)! One additional thing to note in this shot. If you see the white puff spraying up near the base of the power, you are seeing some sand kicking up from the sanders that are currently active, helping the train to keep and maintain traction on the climb.

Taken in Leicester city centre. I tried to talk to this man but he spoke very little English. He acknowledged that it was ok to take his picture and I gave him so money. I wish I had more to tell.

Usually I don't put night photos on flickr because it is very difficult for me to make good photo in night condition シ.
The Binturong (Arctictis binturong), also known as the Asian Bearcat, the Palawan Bearcat, or simply the Bearcat, is a species of the family Viverridae, which includes the civets and genets. It is the only member of its genus. The binturong is not a bear, and the real meaning of the original name has been lost, as the local language that gave it that name is now extinct.[3] Its natural habitat is in trees of forest canopy in rainforest of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1]
It is nocturnal and sleeps on branches. It eats primarily fruit, but also has been known to eat eggs, shoots, leaves, and small animals, such as rodents or birds. Deforestation has greatly reduced its numbers. When cornered, the Binturong can be vicious. The Binturong can make chuckling sounds when it seems to be happy and utter a high-pitched wail if annoyed. The Binturong can live over 20 years in captivity; one has been recorded to have lived almost 26 years.

"the help" .... ... yesterday Baby Jesus was born, for those who are Christians this represents an immense act of God's love for his children ... and it is to that God-Man that we often resort to asking for help .... who among us ... has never needed help ...?! .....
I photographed people I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability: I met Antonio and his girlfriend, who came to Taormina to spend the last day together, the next day Antonio will leave to go very far, unfortunately leaving his beloved, to see her again who knows when ... I met the Japanese companion of my dear friend Cesare, who flew to the sky many years ago, I knew about his companion, but I had never met her before ... I photographed a sweet Chinese girl that I met on three different occasions, each time with a little more confidence….
these are just a few minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved (confused-blurred-imprecise-undecided) ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus made during the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure times, and not as an effect created later, in retrospect, in the post phase -production.

"the help"...."l'aiuto" ...ieri è nato Gesù Bambino, per chi è cristiano questo rappresenta un atto d’amore immenso di Dio per i suoi figli...ed è a quel Dio-Uomo che spesso ricorriamo chiedendo aiuto.... chi tra noi...non ha mai avuto bisogno di aiuto...?!.....
ho fotografato persone che non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità: ho incontrato Antonio e la sua ragazza, venuti a Taormina per trascorrere l'ultimo giorno insieme, il giorno successivo Antonio partirà per andare molto lontano, lasciando purtroppo la sua amata, per rivederla poi chissà quando….Ho conosciuto la compagna Giapponese del mio carissimo amico Cesare, volato in cielo tanti anni fa, sapevo di questa sua compagna, ma non l’avevo mai conosciuta prima…Ho fotografato una dolce ragazza Cinese che ho incontrato in tre occasioni diverse, ogni volta con un pizzico di confidenza in più….
sono queste solo alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse (confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise)...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagni sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Over Owler Tor, Peak District, UK

I'm like a dog with a bone with my recent visits to Over Owler tor. Reason is, it's great place for heather with amazing views and possibilities. Plus I've not got shots form here I'm really happy with. Partly dues to conditions, partly due to me. So this was the eighth visit in two weeks and the second visit yesterday.
Just as the golden hour gong chimed, there was a little light. Soon after it was lost to heavy cloud. A composition I keep working on. I think I'm getting there.
Looking at this, a polariser would have helped with the reflections on the heather and ferns.
Help Chile Overcome the Earthquake Chile stepped up efforts to find survivors of an earthquake registering 8.8 magnitude that struck before dawn yesterday, killing more than 700 people, severing the country’s main highway and damaging 1.5 million homes.
The eartquake was centered 200 miles (317 kilometers) southwest of Santiago near the main winemaking region and close to Concepcion, a metropolitan region of more than 500,000 people. Highways and airports were shut by damage and some copper mines closed. The total economic damage may be as much as $30 billion, or about 15 percent of the South American country’s gross domestic product, according to estimates by disaster- scenario modeler Eqecat Inc.
We need your help to overcome the earthquake.

Three pelicans rest on a sea wall in Boca Ciega Bay near Upham Beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida. One pelican has a fishing line protruding from an area behind his leg.
The guy on the right kept turning to me, like he had something to say. I was clueless to it, trying to hold my balance on the rocks and focus on his eyes. My wife knew right away, of course, telling me as she spotted me on the rocks and approached.
All three flew away shortly after I captured this image, so I never saw it until I edited the photo in full resolution. Look closely - he's got a leader protruding from just behind his left leg, with a swivel and a bit of line dangling from it. I can't tell if there's a hook involved, but that feels like a reasonable assumption to me.
Before I knew about his predicament, I loved this photograph because it gave me a sense of technical satisfaction - three in a row, perfectly spaced, and nobody's pruning themself! And, bonus, that gaze!
Now it makes me a little sad every time I look at it.
I still love it though, because it reminds me of things that are important to me - wildlife and the environment - and the challenges they face.
so i'm back and re-discovering the slworld. I already have the mesh body. I've been working on this demo of the Lilly mesh head for, in sl time, at least the length of two sl divorces and marriages...lol jk. But please help. Do I mesh head?
Yes?
No?
I love my legacy head or whatever. My old school frost sauce head but I think i got pretty close. Thoughts? Concerns. yes i'm so 2014.
Oh i'm working on a cafe and my art space again. that will be coming soon.

D&RGW SD40T-2s No. 5405 and 5401 are point helpers, assigned to pull a stalled MRODV train from Midvale, Utah to Soldier Summit on Aug. 13, 1998. The Grande Will Deliver.
A derailment on MRL's 4th Sub near Superior caused the railroad to detour traffic via the 10th Sub for a couple of days in September 2013. Helper power was dispatched to Missoula for the detour moves, making for quite a show on Evaro Hill for the duration of the derailment cleanup.
Here, a WB manifest with two sets of mid train helpers grinds its way up the hill towards Evaro.
Okay so i REALLY love number 9&10 but i still want opinions. so please just leave your favorite number or a note on the skin. i'd appreciate it a ton <3
I spotted this group at Lake Drevviken at Ulrikedal, earlier today. Ice skaters practising to get up from the freezing water. Something you need to know before skating on natural ice.
