The More Things Change the More They Stay the Same-Different vegetation, different housing, different climate...but always Scrapbooking with friends!
After basic manufacturing and setup, computer racks are loaded on containers to new cloud datacenters
I always end up using LOAD to check off layouts from my to-do list. This is the May Layout for my year-long "Faves" project. Concept and template by Nettio Designs.
This is my third year (doing it every other year) doing the project. I really like looking back at the old layouts. Hopefully I can get caught up this LOAD.

Having come across Chris Ruddy flying His Bell 206L4 LongRanger helicopter by accident one Saturday afternoon. I took a series of shots to add to others I had taken in the area of helicopters working for the NT and Yorkshire Water around the South Pennine Watershed. Coincidentally, this helicopter was the first aircraft I ever flew in twenty odd years ago. I couldn’t believe, having just checked the date, that it was almost two years ago. I recently supplied these images to Pennine Helicopters for their own use. I seem to have done a lot of this lately, I don’t mind helping local businesses out to be fair – and I do believe that what goes around comes around.
Subsequently, Having chatted with Charlotte Ruddy, she kindly let me know when they would be flying locally again. We had thick fog for a good few days recently, however, we have frequently had the usual east west divide, with the Pennine watershed being the dividing line. Thick fog on our (eastern) side gave way to stunning blue sky on Pennine Helicopters (western) side of the hill. Charlotte sent me a short notice text that they were about to fly about five miles from our yard, right on the east west divide. At this point we had thick fog so I wasn’t expecting a call really. Fortunately, I was in a position to grab my gear and get up there.
The weather was good at the Blue Peter but as I got my gear out the fog was following me. It billowed over the hill. There was no sign of Pennine but I could hear something rumbling in the fog just over the hill. I set off along the Pennine Way path, I could see Chris skimming the moor, ghost like in the fog. The team were a few hundred yards away, the fog having closed in on them almost as soon as they arrived. Chris landed, ticking over, waiting for the fog to roll back. I hadn’t met Charlotte, not since she was a child anyway, and she spotted me and came over for a chat. I established what was going on and explained that it could be a struggle as I was on the wrong side of the flight path in relation to the sun.
The fog rolled back and for a short while we had great conditions. The fog was rolling in and out, giving quite atmospheric conditions. Unfortunately, High cloud moved in and blocked the sun, leaving quite dull conditions. Again the fog rolled in, stopping the load carrying. At this point Chris offered to take me up for a quick flight. It was fantastic, dull, but I love being up there. The few photos were an irrelevance really, the flight made my day so thank you to all concerned.
I’ve done a quick edit and I am uploading rather a lot of similar shots for the people concerned to see. I shall be sending them a set as a thank you.
After returning the first cut of 55 loads to the Danville Yard CSX ES44AH #3119 and #911 lead the second cut of 55 empties under the loadout at Rocklick Facility. This was my first time witnessing the process and it didn’t disappoint.
This is for Ali Edwards' One LIttle Word class, January's self portrait assignment. My word this year is focus and when I looked at google images, I saw a similar photo. Since I don't know all the ins and outs of my camera yet . . . my face isn't quite as out of focus as I wanted. But I am happy with the results. My plan is to take a picture at the end of the year with me in focus and my word blurry. Hopefully by then I'll have figured out how to focus my camera.
