A field was cleared for a horse riding area. My title is a silly pun on "a horse of another color" which probably derives from Shakespeare, who wrote "a horse of that color" (Twelfth Night, 2:3), meaning "the same matter" rather than a different one. By the mid-1800s the term was used to point out difference rather than likeness.
Since l was a child l loved the literal horse that changes color in the film of "The Wizard of Oz" - The Horse of a Different Color couldn't be actually painted because of animal rights concerns. So they used colored, flavored jelly - which the horse kept licking off.
From the 1920’s to the 1970’s, the site functioned primarily as
a transfer depot for coal from bulk carriers to smaller coal-fired
vessels. The Balls Head Coal Loader was extremely advanced
for its time, breaking records by delivering nearly 2500 tons of
coal in under 20 hours.
In 1934, the lease was taken up by the Wallarah Coal
Company which had a mine near Newcastle and a wharf on
the coast at Catherine Hill Bay. They would operate the loader
for nearly 40 years.
Work at the Coal Loader fell away until the 1970s when the
place was completely refitted to supply export coal to Japan.
Later the jetty was lengthened to accommodate larger colliers.
By the 1990s technology and social change spelled the end
of operations at the Balls Head Coal Loader. The world had
not lost its appetite for coal – in fact it had never been greater.
But that meant exports directly from Newcastle in ships too
large to dock at Balls Head. The ships took on their final load of coal in 1992.

Randy Scanlan, 27th SOW command chief, a prior weapons troop himself, who were among the distinguished spectators and evaluators present during the competition. The Airmen are assigned to the 27th Special Operations Maintenance Squadron AC-130 armament shop. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alex Mercer/Released)
Having suffered severely from the huge loads of frost last December this old oak tree is one of the few that have survived all the way from my childhood.
Passing it on my (almost) daily ski routes I could see the sun peeking through the mist.
I took a picture.

A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!

A fruitless early start in search of new locations meant I missed a decent looking sunrise but found some nice conditions at Lamaload Reservoir later on. Lamaload was the first place in the UK where Lamas were bred to swim underwater for their waterproof wool. Press L to view large.
