Providence & Worcester train CT-1 meanders south passing the Wethersfield Depot with PW 2009 in the lead. The Depot was built in 1871 by the Connecticut Valley Railroad and is now occupied by an insurance company.
I loved the leading lines on these dunes and was pleasantly surprised when it got dark and the Milky Way was so nicely positioned.
I managed to get this photo just before the clouds rolled in and the wind picked up.
A pair of SD40-2's head back to CN's Scotford Yard after lifting interchange traffic from CP. Shell Canada's Chemical plant and upgrader loom in the distance. If you look above the inflatable cow on the far left you will see a tan structure and stack, which is where I am employed. Not often do I get to combine work and play in a single shot.
The Battery Point lighthouse is seen in the distance (it's really there if you view large ;-) from an overlook near Crescent City, California.

The first lead workings in the Sheldon area of the Derbyshire Peak District date back to the mid C18th but following violence between the miners of the two adjacent mines in 1833 in which three men from Maypitt were brutally murdered, Magpie Mine remained closed until 1839 when the famous Cornish mine engineer John Taylor was called in to modernise and reopen the pit. He sank a new shaft to a depth of 650' and installed a Cornish pumping engine to counteract the constant flood water which threatened the workings. Even that proved incapable of dealing with the many streams and eventually in 1873 an underground sough was driven 1½ miles to the River Wye and today it still discharges between 4-6m imperial gallons a day!
Listen to this if you fancy it.
Managed to get down to the sea just after sunset last night. Beginning to think that the sea my well be my church. Yeah, its dark. I know you can't see the details in the rocks. Sorrrrry. It is intentially like this... i like it. "I like it a lot"..*dumb n' dumber quote*
Sorry that i'm not around much these days. Will catch up soon.
The theme for Macro Mondays is The Periodic Table, and lead is Pb in the periodic table. As far as I know, bird shot is pure lead, and this pellet, which measures about 2mm across, is from a bucket of No.7 bird shot that I have left over from my skeet and trap shooting days, when I hand loaded my shotgun shells because store bought shells were too expensive to shoot in the quantities that I was shooting.
As for the penny the pellet is resting on, I doubt there is enough copper in it for it to qualify for this topic, but if it is, then I got me a twofer...
What's prettier- the forest, wildflowers, or the river? It's a real toss up. All the elements combine to make a stunning scene in Bristol. The forest lead in to the river and woods beyond was a sight I could stare at for hours.
Happy New Photographic Year! =)
This was taken a few minutes after the last shot at Teignmouth, Devon, UK. I like how the church tower stands out.
An old wall lamp with an images of Jesus in the leaded glass installed on the wall by the Chichester Cathedral.

For all the Game of Thrones fans, this is the tower Bran, Hodor, Osha and Co hid in to evade the wildlings. The area is called the Lead Mines and it's just outside Newtownards.
Check it out .....Episode 7, Season 3 Game of Thrones.....about half way through :)
Eli, being Alpha, will do everything to be in the lead.
Many have been asking why I was selling my 5D3. Truth be told, as good as it was, I've totally switched over to Fuji. Fuji's are lighter, have style, and are practically as good. The one area they lack, is in auto-focus tracking, hence all these actions shots of the boys this week with the Canon. This is the last of the 5D3 for the 366, as later on in the day, it found a very good home.

Here is a photo of a member of the band Troublemaker, a rock band that use to perform in the north Houston-Harris County/Montgomery County area. My sister is a friend of the band and this photo and a couple of others were taken at the Jailhouse Saloon, in Old Town Spring, Texas, back in November, 2018. We were there to celebrate my sister's birthday. The photo was taken with a Canon 80D with a EF-S 18-135mm lens, with adjustments made in post-processing
A long blue lead pipe sticking out of a drain, beside a multi-storey carpark. I've got Cluedo on my mind, which is why I am assuming that the pipe is made of lead.
