Sorting my photos, I've just started looking back at last January's ! Here's one to send a chill down the spine of Somerset farmers
Additional flashing red man signal for pedestrians at Garve level crossing. Located beyond the wig-wags and barriers due to the distance between them and the railway.
Hoy level crossing in 2014 following the addition of the half barriers, the road signals had been replaced with LEDs a few years earlier.

Assignment: PCA 35 View from the ground floor
Deadline:August 3, 2008
Image Tag: pca35
From: me and them
Mission:
The ground floor... there's nowhere to go but up! This time around shoot whatever you want, but what's important is where your camera is: ground level. Be it the kitchen floor, an open field or hiding underneath a church pew, your perspective is going to be that of a mouse, a fairy, an ant, or anything else similarly relegated to the world of the small. Try to find a subject that is really complemented by your earthly perspective.
For those engineering types in the group who need precision (including yours truly), you don't need to have your camera exactly in contact with the ground. Let's say no more 3 inches from ground to camera base. Get those elbows dirty!

I loved this assignment. I'm always looking for unusual angles on scenes and enjoyed getting my knees dirty on this one (or wet, as by the riverbank!). As my photostream reflects, I took a lot of photos and considered long and hard which one to post here. Some resulted in great perspective conundrums (trolley.carriage baskets at the supermarket). Others showed flowers - and weeds from a different pov. Even my other half's booted feet were taken after we'd been fishing. All in all, as I said, I enjoyed the journey.
This shot is on one of my last journeys to the bus station after work! I liked the reds in this shot, also the #8 bus to nowhere. Lucky for some or not? Yellow parallel lines lead us up to the scene - and the tilt (sorry Farkled!) - was really necessary to get the bus and building more in shot. Minimal PP afterwards.

Level crossing of Somerville Road and the Newport-Sunshine line. The railway carries freight traffic as well as the Melbourne-Adelaide standard gauge line since 1995. At this location there are two tracks - one broad gauge and the other dual gauge.
Looking towards Newport. The Melbourne-Adelaide standard (dual) gauge via North Shore (Geelong) is on the left. The street lights here are a Vic Track modification of an older VicRoads design, which are now used for replacements of damaged poles and for council lighting assets.

Blockade of work on Adani Southern Galilee basin rail line.
In Hot and humid conditions two gates were blockaded to stop preliminary work that has started on the Adani Southern Galilee Basin rail line.
Frontline Action on Coal blockade of Adani construction works. Audrey Cooke locked on by the neck with message in Chinese about preserving the earth and our heritage for future generations, against climate change and fossil fuels. Audrey is over 70, and is active in Melbourne against Adani and coal.
There were 13 people arrested for trespass. Greens MPs Jeremy Buckingham and Dawn Walker have trespass notices and were called to move on and did so. Five police cars were called to transport people to Clairemont police station. Photographer Julian Meehan has been issued an official move on order. 11 people are going to Claremont because they would not move.

Belyando, 6th December: Joined by NSW Parliamentarians Jeremy Buckingham and Dawn Walker, dozens of people have walked on to Adani’s rail construction site in Central Queensland, stopping work on the ill-fated mega coal mine. This morning’s action is part of a growing wave of disruption to stop the mine and comes just days after several of China’s largest banks including two of the world’s largest lenders to coal – ruled out funding for the project.
Some of the people have locked on to the entrance gates whilst a large group is occupying the work site, stopping work on the rail line.
“Although we are MPs from NSW, this is an issue of national and international significance. Adani represents a line in the sand for all those concerned about climate change who do not want to see a new coal precinct opened up in Australia. We stand with all those opposed to this crazy coal mine,” said Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham
“Although this mine is miles from anywhere, the eyes of all Australians are on it. We have travelled days to get here but believe me many more will follow. I’m appalled by the way this project is tearing indigenous communities apart and offering a sub standard agreement to Traditional Owners for their land, with little economic opportunity. On every level this operation doesn’t stack up,” said Greens MP Dawn Walker.
“I’m a law abiding citizen, mother and grandmother. The impacts of Adani’s mine are terrifying. The world is moving beyond coal. It’s ludicrous that a country as sunny and windy as Australia is even considering this ridiculous mine. It would be a terrible investment in a miserable future,” said retiree Audrey Cooke.
“This mine is doomed. Twenty seven of the world’s largest banks won’t touch it. The Queensland Government says it won’t fund it. And the community is overwhelmingly opposed to it. Adani is a fighting a losing battle and we’re here today to show that the community will stay for as long as it takes for Adani to walk away,” said Anandan Mcewen, one of the protestors.
“We know that thousands of people are prepared to join us here in Central Queensland. We won’t stand idly by and let Adani trash our climate, wreck our Reef, and run roughshod over Traditional Owner rights,” concluded Mr Mcewen.
Civil disobedience has been taking place in and around Adani’s work sites in Central Queensland since August with more actions planned over the coming weeks and mass mobilisations flagged for early next year.

Notice the equal height at which all the trees were severed. They were not severed near the ground level as they normally should be.
I think whoever did this, did it during the flood in the spring of 2006, when the water level probably reached the height of the remaining tree trunks you can see in this picture.
The water level being so high, they were able to get to the trees in boats and they severed them were the surface of the water was at the time.
After severing the trees, they must have taken advantage of the fact that wood is floatable and simply towed the tree trunks to the destination.
This might have been done by proper forestry authorities, not necessarily by thieves, but even so, I still think it was plunder.
