Hi to everyone! I have been busy lately, so i haven't had time for photography. I will come back slowly and visit your streams and beautiful creations. I hope you are all doing fine. :)
Estos caballitos del diablo tienen un aspecto muy liviano, pero a pesar de eso su agilidad y destreza para moverse entre las ramas de las plantas próximas a los puntos de agua es sorprendente, incluso en los dÃa de vientos racheados.
Se posó a mediana altura lo que me permitió fotografiarlo con cierta comodidad.
Macho joven de Ischnura elegans.
These damselflies have a very light appearance, but despite that their agility and dexterity to move between the branches of the plants near the water points is surprising, even on days with gusty winds.
It perched at medium height which allowed me to photograph it with some comfort.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Heavyweight/Lightweight. Some treasures were revealed on a walk around town this afternoon...
HMMM!
So dark and so shiny, but really too beautiful up there with its spread-out tail. No light there, but a memorable encounter for life. Swallowtail hummingbird I guess.

Ferrari’s immortal 275 GTB-C, designed by Pininfarina and manufactured by Scaglietti, with its sleek, shark-like profile, muscular 3.3-liter V-12 engine, and agile handling ability, was offered as a powerful road going berlinetta in two-cam and, later, four-cam variations
One of just twelve 2nd series 275 GTB/C Competiziones
Creating a replacement for the hugely successful 250 series of Ferraris was a daunting task for the engineers at Maranello. As the 250 series was highly successful both in the showroom and on the track, it effectively etched Ferrari’s name into the automotive history books. With numerous wins at Le Mans, the Tour de France, Sebring, and Daytona, the 250 LWB TdF, the 250 SWB, the 250 LM, and the 250 GTO were the gold standard of sports car racing, all designed and engineered under the same roof no less, and now Ferrari needed to top their own series of world-beating sports cars with something even more extraordinary.
The only people who can keep track of Ferrari models are Ferrari people. Take the 1950s and 1960s, for example. Back then, Ferrari seemingly thought nothing of popping off a run of 10 slightly different cars and giving them each a different model designation. Look at 1965-1968, when I think there were 12 competition models and eight road cars, with sometimes hazy distinctions between them.
Like the 1966 275 GTB/C Berlinetta Competizione. It's somewhere between the dry-sump 275 GTB Speciale, and the assorted 275 street models. Ferrari built 12, with a sheetmetal resemblance to the 275 GTB road car, but with a competition drive-train intended only for racing.
For 1965, Ferrari constructed three lightweight GTB Competizione Speciales, which were graced with 250 LM dry-sump racing engines in order to try the model’s hand in competition. Whilst the Scuderia only managed a 2nd in class finish at the Nürburgring, following a DNF at the Targa Florio with 06885, Ecurie Francorchamps campaigned the very same car (chassis 06885) at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it placed an amazing 1st in class and an even more monumental 3rd overall, which was an incredible result for a GT car duelling with sport prototypes.
Building on their results from the 1965 season, Ferrari launched a new model in the GT class for the 1966 season. The car, dubbed the 275 GTB Berlinetta Competizione, or 275 GTB/C for short, was designed around a completely new chassis, which was specifically designed for this model.
At the heart of the 275 GTB/C was the new Tipo 213/Comp. engine, which was developed from a Works car that campaigned in 1965. The engine block itself received extra reinforcement in the form of external ribs, and the casings of the sump, timing chain, cam cover, and bell housing were built in Elektron, much like the other Ferrari competizione models. Other improvements included higher-lift camshafts, reinforced pistons, special valves, and a special crankshaft. The GTB/C was also graced with dry-sump lubrication, allowing the engine to sit lower in the chassis in an effort to further reduce the car’s center of gravity.

Lightweight, powerful and extremely deadly.
Designed to outperform most modern semi automatic shotguns.
Just trying to get the juices flowing, ya know?

Single 59s on this working are now rare. In this case it looks like the train is formed of one portion, with only box wagons and no hoppers, so no need for the additional 66.
Due to strike action there were no passenger workings over the B&H all day, but 7A09 still managed to run an hour late (after leaving Merehead over 2 hours down)

A colour version of a mono image I uploaded a decade ago of a scene now recorded nearly four decades ago! The BR Table 74 10:15 Chester to Shrewsbury all stations DMU service passes Bersham Colliery. The Chester based Class 108 2-car unit comprised DMBS 51904 leading DTCL 54487. Visible above the unit were loaded HAA coal hoppers to later form part of the next MGR service to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station.
