You might see a DeLorean zipping around Greenbelt, Maryland, on Oct. 21, 2015, the day Marty McFly and Doc Brown arrive from 1985 in "Back to the Future, Part II," but don't look for flaming tread marks in its wake.
The DeLorean DMC-12, commonly seen on the roads of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is better known for the version that starred as a plutonium-powered time machine in the “Back to the Future” trilogy.
After some investigation, Goddard’s Office of Communications found the owner of the stainless steel, gull-winged, two-door coupe. Goddard software test engineer, Brendan Rebo bought the 1982 DeLorean off eBay about four and a half years ago. “The car attracts a lot more attention than I expected,” Rebo admitted. “I hear a lot of jokes about whether or not I’ve reached 88 miles per hour yet.”
As “Back to the Future” fans around the world celebrate today, Rebo also celebrates his birthday.
While the second film predicted technology, such as flying cars, that doesn’t yet exist, people can still marvel at the classic car and movie reference.

NASA image captured April 3-5, 2011
Cascades of spiraling magnetic loops observed in extreme ultraviolet light by SDO danced and twisted above an active region on the Sun (Apr. 3-5, 2011). These loops are charged particles spinning along the magnetic field lines, and thus visually revealing them. The bright active region was fairly strong and the activity persistent, though not explosive. At one point darker plasma can be seen being pulled back and forth across the region's center.

This colorful installation on the waterside of the Jonas Daniel Meijerplein can photographed in different ways. According to the artist the best point of view are to look through the rings. I chose to do this in conjunction with another light scultpure next to the Hortus Botanicus garden, Friendala. Both part of the Water Colors boat tour but also part of the Illuminade walking route.
Amsterdam Light Festival
The fourth edition for this Winter event in the city of Amsterdam. No longer do we have to dread the dark winter months in Amsterdam. Thanks to Amsterdam Light Festival, Amsterdam is transformed every year into a true city of lights with the help of contemporary (inter)national light artists. During this annual festival for young and old, both the residents of Amsterdam and the city’s many visitors are treated to a spectacle of light. At the same time, the festival offers talented (young) light artists a platform to present their latest work.
This year, the 55-day festival is dedicated to theme 'Friendship' and can be visited from 28 November 2015 to 17 January 2016. Water Colors will take place from 28 November 2015 to 17 January 2016 and the walking route Illuminade will take place from 10 December 2015 to 3 January 2016. Let's celebrate the winter together with art, light and water!

Bands of Friendship
Artist: Vikas Patil & Santosh Gujar [ Light designer & architect ]
Location: Jonas Daniel Meijerplein
Bands of Friendship, created by the two Indian architects Vikas Patil and Santosh Gujar, is a nice reflection of how people from outside the EU look at this continent, i.e. with hope and appreciation. The project is based on a typically present-day phenomenon: the colourful bands of friendship girls and boys (and also many men and women) wear around their wirsts to confirm their friendship or to show that they’re supporting a good cause. These are the bands of friendship the title refers to, nine of them in as many colours.
Bands of Friendship symbolizes endless friendship and has been positioned in such a way that the spectator may look at them from different angles with changing meanings from every perspective. If you look at them sidelong, the rings are still separate, individual and unattached, independent like the countries within the European Union. But move aside, and slowly but surely the rings become attached; the Union gains form. A few more steps bring you right in front of the entrance to the rings and you look into the multicoloured tunnel of progress and prosperity, the ideal Europe stands for. The artists, both architects, hope that this work, abstract and figurative at the same time, will incite people on the one hand, to enlarge their own circle of friends as much as possible, and on the other hand to remain positive about Europe’s ideals.
Vikas Patil is an architect and light designer from India. After obtaining his Master’s degree from the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan, he worked on several projects in India, Europe and various Arabic countries. Patil has continued to develop his passion for lighting design while working as the director of the Mumbai-based Studio ALBA Lighting Design since 2011.
The Indian architect Santosh Gujar studied architecture at the Sir JJ College of Architecture in Mumbai. In his current position as consulting architect, he often works with small architecture firms, enabling him to share his knowledge on design issues and regional development. Gujar and Patil complement each other with regards to aesthetic and technical matters.

I love to go out for long walks with the dog, camera with me, hoping to see something special on the way. That is not always easy, in my totally cultivated country nature is struggling with it's existence.
Nevertheless I like to shoot birds, and especially in a non-standard fashion.
What I like to do is develop my knowledge of the behaviour of birds, and be able to predict their movements so that I can anticipate more.
This Buzzard was harassed by two Crows and decided to take off to a more quiet place. I like the movement of its wings and the look over the shoulder.
In post noting special.
To my knowledge this was the last Renault Major running up around the East Midlands , she has since been replaced ,

The Alaska Native Heritage Center prominently shares Ten Universal Values, as expressed in the Alaska Native Knowledge Network:
Share what you have. Giving makes you richer; Show respect to others. Each person has a special gift; Know who you are. You are a reflection of your family; Accept what life brings, You cannot control many things; Have patience. Some things cannot be rushed; Live carefully. What you do will come back to you; Take care of others. You cannot live without them; Honor your elders. They show you the way in life; Pray for guidance. Many things are not known; See connections. All things are related.
The Center is a consortium of the following linguistic/cultural groups indigenous to what is now the state of Alaska:
Athabascan; Yup'ik & Cup'ik; Inupiaq & St. Lawrence Island Yupik; Unangax̂, & Alutiiq/Sugpiaq; Eyak, Tlingit, Haida & Tsimshian
The purpose of the center is to preserve the cultural and linguistic heritages of the participating tribes, and to educate the public through displays, performances, story-telling, cuisine in its small cafe, and other arts and demonstrations. It's certainly a beautiful place, but in fact the exhibits are at this stage still very scanty, and though it was enjoyable to chat with the craft-makers who set up tables in the interior space, we left with about as much knowledge as we came with.

→ Register 250 GTO ► serial number 3527GT...
(1962/may/28 - Rolling chassis 3809GT shipped to Scaglietti as allotted for Czasy's order.) 1962/july/30 - Body completed at Scaglietti. 1962/aug/23 - Ferrari renumbered to 3527GT.

6 GTO - Irvine Laidlaw, MC
Ferrari 250 GTO # 3527GT
1962 gab es kurz zwei verschiedene 250 GTO mit # 3527GT. Dies führt häufig zu Verwechslungen.
Zu dem abgebildeten 250 GTO "6 GTO" von Lord Irvine Laidlaw wird z.B. in diversen f Gruppen und auch im Programmheft der Ennstal-Classic 2014, Seite 49 fälschlich berichtet:
falsch: ["Erstbesitzer von Laidlaws Ferrari GTO mit Chassis # 3527 war der Wiener Juwelier Gotfried Köchert..."]
richtig:
Der Köchert-Wagen -- # 3527(1) -- 22. Mai 1962 an Gotfrid Koechert, Wien, A "MO 76800" wurde bereits im Juli 1962 wieder nach Maranello zurück verkauft und bei FERRARI auf serial number 3809GT umbenannt. Er ging am 10. Juli 1962 als 3809GT an Kalman von Czazy, Zuerich, Freie Straße 159, CH - "MO 78595".
Bei Laidlaws GTO -- # 3527(2) -- handelt es sich um einen anderen 250 GTO (ehemals 3809), der erst 2 Monate später, am 10. September 1962 ausgeliefert wurde und mit dem von Köchert nichts zu tun hat.
...der in der Tour de France Siebter wurde, nachdem er in Führung liegend mit einem Lastwagen kollidierte.
Bianchi/Mairesse wurden dann Fünfte im 1000 Kilometer-Rennen von Montlhéry, und Bianchi gewann den Grand Prix von Angola. Danach wurde # 3527GT (2) an die Scuderia Filipinetti verkauft. Der Schweizer Banker Armand Boller kaufte den GTO 1963 und startete damit bei Bergrennen. 1965 wurde der Wagen bei Graber in der Schweiz mit einem Leder-Interieur versehen. Von 1966 bis 1972 war der GTO im Besitz von Sir Anthony Bamford, der an den VW-Händler Don Nelson verkaufte, der nächste Besitzer im Jahre 1984 hieß Stephen Pilkington, der das Auto 20 Jahre besaß, bevor es im Jahre 2005 an Irvine Laidlaw verkauft wurde.
Bei den besten Firmen des Restaurations-Business, die es in England gibt, wurde Laidlaws GTO in 2450 Arbeitsstunden auf das höchste Niveau restauriert.
Mit dem GTO gewann Ferrari die GT-WM in den Jahren 1962/63/64.
Heute gilt ein GTO, von dem nur 39 Exemplare gebaut wurden, als teuerstes Auto der Welt. So verkaufte etwa der Auto-Sammler Paul Pappalardo seinen GTO (# 5111) in einer Privat-Transaktion für 52 Millionen Dollar an einen geheim gehaltenen Besitzer.

hidjab is concentring all the divisions of opinion aroud the world...are we in a binar world ? do we have to choose for or against it? or should we don't give any importance?
My absolute lack of knowledge regarding night photography meant that the vast majority of my Preston station evening shots never made it out of the camera.
The 5Z81 Carnforth - Aberystwyth empty stock movement was headed by 57601. Unfortunately my dark & blurry shot of it was deleted before the train even came to a standstill.
A tad more luck was had at the opposite end, however, and here we see Tail End Charlie 57313 attracting attention from Andy, David & Bruce.

This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba. It was sunset. II was doing one of my guilty pleasures in Havana. Riding in a “Coco”. The Cuban version of a TukTuk. I had talked the driver to go down the Malicon, something they try not to do. Don’t know why. I love riding in a Coco down the Malicon the sea breeze and the occasional splash of water is just a pleasure that makes me giggle. We were waiting for the light to change. Even when you are doing the most mundane of things, waiting for the light to change, if you pay attention a visual moment will show itslf

This isn't the first time this beauty has been here, but to the best of my knowledge this is the first time it has been here alone sans its sister unit and train. And it is certainly likely that this is the last time PAR1 will ever be here. With Pan Am expected to disappear in the coming months assuming it is purchased as expected by CSXT the fate of the pair of FP9s and four car OCS is a point of much speculation. However, even in the absence of that pending change these units can not lead trains on MBTA territory any longer since PTC became active on the north side lines and Pan Am chose not to install ACSES in these units. Consequently, since the end of 2020 they have been restricted to leading only in New Hampshire and Maine, and anytime the OCS ventured west since the start of 2021 it has been led by properly equipped freight power. Given all that this may very well be the last time a Pan Am F unit graces the iron of Boston Engine Terminal, the strange modern incarnation of what was once the beating heart of PAR's predecessor the once mighty Boston and Maine.
Anyway, PAR1 was shipped down cold and dead from Waterville to Lawrence, and the Keolis/MBTA north side work train picked it up on Tuesday and brought it here to BET. It was parked overnight about 100 ft from my office in a very rare instance of something interesting happening on my otherwise decidedly unexciting railroad! On Wednesday morning the work train crew used F40PH-2C 1055 and wyed PAR1 so she'd be facing west for a trip out the old Boston and Albany to Worcester. She will be on display at the MBTA Worcester layover yard with some MBTA and Providence and Worcester equipment for a few hours on Thursday as part of the events associated with the New England Railroad Club's annual Railtech Conference: www.nerailroadclub.com/about-us/
So here is a shot of two classic EMD passenger units from two different eras separated by some three decades locked knuckles in a most improbable event. Having run around the Fourth Iron via FX then down tower A to get the F unit spun around they are drifting back up through the 'Y' into BET to stash her for the day.
PAR1 is a GMDD FP9A blt. Sep. 1954 as CN 6505 and passed from CN to VIA Rail in 1978 before being picked up by the Conway Scenic in 1995 along with sister unit 6515 when they expanded into Crawford Notch. After 15 years spent hauling tourists in the White Mountains the pair would become PAR 1 and 2 when traded to Pan Am Railways in March 2010 for GP38 252 and GP35 216.
Amazingly 1055 (EMD blt. Aug. 1987) could also now be considered noteworthy as one of only eight F40PH-2Cs remaining on the property, and one of only six in service. This particular unit is relegated to non revenue service only account its HEP doesn't work and eventually it too will head to Erie to be rebuilt into an F40PH-3C by Wabtec like its 36 siblings.

Taken for the "Active Assignment Weekly" event called "Classic Still Life."
I am interested in how the old masters often used their paintings to tell a story or reinforce some kind of moral tale with their paintings (when it took months to create an image, it seems like people put more thought into their meaning). This is a riff on that old "tree of knowledge" allegory with the apple representing the biblical story, and the books representing the literal path to knowledge.
Lighting and technical info: I had one light on my upper left behind the camera, bounced off an umbrella -- that one-light look was used a lot in classic painting because it gives a soft look (and it is pretty easy to get access to a window as a source of light). In Photoshop, I darkened the blacks in the background, since they had some patterns that I thought were distracting.
"Our body is the home of the spirit. The place in which ideas live. Our body is a meeting place where our different experiences converge, mix and grow, creating a colossal archive. The University is an extension of our body. A gathering space in which people and ideas, tradition and future, meet to converse, weaving the mesh of human knowledge. Taking the shape of a human body made out of essential vehicle of communication, the fundamental tools."
