Si alguien pensaba que no era posible…, los suizos lo hicieron!, un loop, para librar un gran desnivel, en un espacio muy corto. Este es el paraÃso de los trenes, aquà encontraras de todo, trenes con encanto, sobre un trayecto que cruza los Alpes de norte a sur, imagÃnate el entorno!, viaductos y túneles impresionantes, lagos, trenes que conviven con los coches por el centro de la ciudad, y hasta un loop!. En verano de 2015, tuve la suerte de estar allÃ, hice el recorrido del Bernina Express, desde Chur en Suiza, hasta Tirano en Italia, y todas sus lÃneas transversales, Arosa, Disentis Muster, Davos, St. Moritz, Scuol Taraps, prácticamente todo. Si estáis buscando un sitio para ir el verano que viene, ya sabéis!.

Loop da loop with a pair of light sticks while walking backwards in the pitch black of the underground storm drain called the Love Tunnel is a thrilling experience

This photo is part of a project inspired by the concept of the Uncanny. According to Freud, it's a particular kind of dread or unsettling feeling. It's not just about the unknown or scary; it's the feeling of something being both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. So I try to apply this feeling to our relationship with the city, with the buildings we see every day.
Dogwood challenge. Week 17. Loop lighting. I have no off camera flash or a model. So this was the best model I had.
The first report has finally come in over at Calphoto and in 1 week fall officially begins. I've seen some really beautiful black oak displays here in the Santa Cruz Mountains and cant wait till fall creeks big leaf maples change. The big show is of course over in the E'rn Sierras and so far I'm guessing we're going to get a little bit better display than last year but not like 2 years ago, that was insane. I found fall in California by accident in 2006 and I got really lucky because I went in late October and everything was a brilliant yellow with not that many dead leaves at all! Last year was ruined by some early season storms, this year there are a couple of disturbances with one relatively strong one that could impact the region within the next week..heres hoping it doesn't verify or at least not be windy/cold.
I definitely suggest going before November this year....here is a good resource if you are looking for hydrological data.

Spent the evening shooting food photography with our photo club and here's one of the shots from the night :)
Spontaneous spinning batt

baby blues with white and loads of sparkles..
This one is *really* UNC blue.. bryan will hate it.. but it will be perfect for the gallery. Usually the yarns I spin with stephs batt's are for me.. so it'll be nice to have something extra special for the gallery..
So I bought a camera with a decent rate of continues shooting, but it took me a year to finally take use of the benefit. Here's my brother doing a bad gator/gainer flip (running backflip) from 10 meters, so when looking closer it looks more like a Lincoln loop. Actually it doesn't look too bad with the landing, hard to see in this one but I got a last frame with only his legs in the water, but he lost his breath big time when he'd hit the water. Respect for that kind of height!

Oktoberfest is a 16–18 day festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and is the world's largest fair, with more than 5 million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.

After the westbound shuttle has dropped off the last of its passengers in Bay Head, the train heads through the iconic Bay Head Loop before yarding their train. The loop was constructed in the late 1800s in order to be able to turn trains in Bay Head, as there were no cab cars back then. GP40PH-2 4101 is no stranger to the loop, after rounding it hundreds of times as CNJ GP40P 3672.
De Loop is een bovengrondse spoorlijn op een viaduct boven de straten van Chicago, gebouwd tussen 1895 en 1897. De wijk binnen deze ringlijn, het zakencentrum van Chicago, wordt ook wel aangeduid als de Loop.
De lijn volgt een cirkel over Wells Street, Lake Street, Van Buren Street en Wabash Avenue. Er zijn negen bovengrondse stations aan de Loop. Vijf van de acht metrolijnen van Chicago maken van de Loop gebruik.
English;
The Loop (historically Union Loop) is the two mile circuit of elevated railroad that forms the hub of the 'L' rapid transit system in Chicago, Illinois. The Loop is so named because the railroad loops around a rectangle formed by Lake Street (north side), Wabash Avenue (east), Van Buren Street (south), and Wells Street (west). The surrounding area is also known as The Loop community area. Numerous accounts assert that the use of this term predates the elevated railroad, deriving from the multiple cable car turntables, or loops, that terminated in the district, and especially those of two lines that shared a loop, constructed in 1882, bounded by Madison, Wabash, State, and Lake.
However, after extensive research of the issue, transportation historian Bruce Moffat concluded that "the Loop" was not used as a proper noun until after Charles Yerkes' 1895–97 construction of the elevated hub.

In some really good light I was able to capture 66084 being re-routed via Tondu due to engineering work on the main South Wales line on Sunday 18th January 2015, working the 6O32 Margam to Llanwern Sidings. The train has joined the Maesteg line to Bridgend having competed the run around manouvre on the the Garw loop on the right, a short section of track used as the relief line for diverted freight along the Maesteg line to the South Wales main line at Bridgend or along the Ogmore Extension line to Margam. It is also occasionally used for the "Taffy Tug" passenger excursion train.
The Garw line was formerly an important line serving four major collieries within the Garw Valley, between them producing nearly 4000 tons of coal each day. Sadly, the last mine, Ocean Colliery, closed in 1985 when the line fell into disuse. The line had a reprieve in the 1990's when it was reopened for freight services to carry screened coal from tips in the valley as part of a land reclamation scheme and the last train ran on March 6 1997. It is worth looking at Stuart Warr's photostream to see how it looked not that long ago - www.flickr.com/photos/123410911@N03/16245923515/in/faves-...
Fortunately the once busy signal box still survives for now. According to one website I have seen it is reported that it will be closed in 2015. However, several fellow photographers at Tondu advised me that the box will be one of the last to close in South Wales - let's hope that is correct. A GWR box dating back to 1894 it is a GW3 design and had 63 recorded levers in 1963. I do not believe the box has achieved grade II listed status.
Dublin Bus Alexander RH/Leyland Olympian RH23 takes a quick breather at the 123 Terminus in Kilnamanagh Road,Walkinstown. She was the principle treelooper from D635 until late 2014/early 2015 when ex Phibsboro AV144 too over.
New in 1990, she was unique in having ad frames at each side of her number display, retained into tree looping duties.
