Zoomed in shot of lightning where it looks like it loops toward the bottom!

28th May 2018. Usually I will go and stand against the wall on the far right in the picture where you can get a good view of anything coming out of Keighley. However I wanted something different and as the sun was in the right location I walked down the path and under the bridge to get a photograph from the other side.

 

In the picture you can see BR 4F 0-6-0 No.43924 running the Keighley loop before it reverses into Keighley Station to collect her coaches for the last train of the day to Oxenhope. Although No.43924 has BR numbering she was built at Derby Works in 1920 by the Midland Railway. She is only one of four Fowler Midland Big Goods design of her Class in preservation; and while No.43924 was built under the auspices of the Midland Railway. The other three engines in preservation where built by the London Midland Scottish Railway.

Em um outro domingo, estava num parque nas proximidades da minha casa. Enquanto minha namorada estava comendo pipoca, resolvi me aproximar do Ranger - brinquedo em que as pessoas ficam engradadas enquanto ele faz um giro de 360º. Apoiei a camera no peito e fui tirando várias fotos ao mesmo tempo em que a enorme máquina girava. Depois de algumas tentativas consegui essa sem tremer.

A Looper caterpillar doing its loopy thing.

 

Also spinning up a thread of silk, so it might have been getting ready to make its web before it turns into a chrysalis.

To celebrate the launch of new music journal 'loops' Faber and Faber and Domino Records have produced this poster, designed by Wallzo, screen printed by K2 screen with pink and dark blue ink on Pristine white Colorplan by GFSmith.

Another new stitch for me. The longer row across the bottom, decorated with buttonhole stitch, is loop stitch. All the rest are knotted loop stitch. I had to work a row of loop stitch to see the difference.

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.

This is the caterpillar of the Geometridae, Geometroidea Family of moths.

 

Found it in amongst the flowers on a wattle tree.

This one has almost a fluorescent appearance to it.

Only ever seen 1 other kind of these before.

Thoughts of a train driver and his RHTT operating mate...

 

'Let's stop here for a half hour. We can watch the village idiot running round the place like a loon with his camera whilst he photographs every nut and bolt of our train...'

 

I'm sure at least some of the crews love watching our antics, and I'm sure the crew of 3S71 would think the world had collapsed if they didn't see me somewhere round Rhyl and Prestatyn.

 

So, to buck the trend, here's another shot at Abergele and Pensarn with westbound 3S71 tucked in the down passenger loop, 56105 nearest, 56078 at the front.

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.

Within the header for 150 psig Steam, the temperature within can be in the 370-450 degrees Fahrenheit range in this part of the plant. Steel piping definitely expands in dimension when heated up to that range. This omega-shaped loop is meant to deal with the linear expansion. The curved loops are only seen in the part of the plant that was established in the 1920s and 30s. Today, the same function is addressed by an arrangement of straight piping and elbows assembled into a ‘U’ shape, most always positioned in a horizontal plane above the main run of piping.

Also faintly visible is Sh2-278 and bluish nebula LBN 915 to its right, extending around Eta Orionis.

 

It all needs a lot more signal here though, or a more sensitive camera with less read noise! This was composed of 21x5min at ISO 400. Processing performed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

The loop trail stays close to the geology of Turtle Rock, a popular climbing destination in summer. This is only an outcropping attached to the much larger formation of Turtle Rock.

45596 'Bahamas' passes the signal box at Damems Loop on the K&WVR. Taken during a 30742 Charters day with the iconic double-chimney Jubilee at its home base.

Resting on a car. It's most likely a type of looper moth (Geometridae).

 

I had trouble with the macro lens, which had only parts of the moth in focus. Changed to a pancake lens which did better.

 

Looks like I need to clean the car, get those spider webs off.

 

Idaea nephelota and Idaea violacearia are candidates for identification.

Summary: This is a very popular hiking spot with great views of the ocean on clear days, a seasonal waterfall, and a densely wooded canyon. The loop starts out on Temescal Ridge Trail, climbing almost 1,000 feet in the first mile. At the intersection with Temescal Canyon Trail, you can either take a half mile side trip to Skull Rock (staying on the ridge trail) or head down into the deep Temescal Canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, you will cross a bridge with a lovely waterfall. If you are careful, you can do some rock scrambling upstream to see some additional small waterfalls. After crossing the bridge, the trail drops through the canyon at a mild pace, through a pleasantly dense wooded area.

 

If you skipped the ridge trail, and just walked up the canyon and back, this would be a great easy 2 mile family hike.

The Guggenheim Museum was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1959. It is on the National Register #05000443, and is also a National Historic Landmark.

There has been a lighthouse at Loop Head since 1670, originally a signal fire on the roof of a single-storey cottage (which can still be seen on the grounds), where the lightkeeper lived.

 

The present tower, which stands 23 metres high, was built in 1854. The range of the light is 23 nautical miles and its ‘character’ is a white light flashing four times in 20 seconds. The operation was converted to electricity in 1871, and automated in 1991.

Alberta sunsets.. So beautiful I can never get enough of them. So glad we have been able to see this one at Elk Island. We could not not stop at Bison Loop. It's always such a pretty place to stop by :D

NGC 3576 is a giant star forming region of gas glowing strongly in Ha and is located about 9,000 light years away in Carina. Its characteristic loops are formed by stellar winds.

 

The image comprises a number of NGC objects - NGCs 3579, 3581, 3582, 3584 and 3586. 3576 encompasses the whole centre bright region.. There are also a number of prominent Bok Globules, dark dense stellar nurseries.
