DB Cargo class 66 locomotive 66150 stands at far as we can go due to the vegetation ahead, we are on the Garw Valley line that once was very busy as it served 4 major colleries, know as the Garw loop now and used as a run round facility for when freight trains are infrequently diverted via Tondu, away from the South Wales mainline and we've gone way past that loop.
This is UK Railtours excellent 'The Valley of the Witch’ railtour, the 1Z19 07.06 London Paddington-Onllwyn Washery via Tondu.

Dogwood week 17: Loop lighting.
I had not really given much thought to specific lighting techniques. My approach so far has been just trial and error. So it was pretty interesting to tackle a very specific lighting technique. I think I'm definitely going to make more use of it in the future.
Many thanks to my model.

Descending the famous Gata loops. Most of these roads are connected with dirt trails and you can take them instead of the tarmac if you are on a good 4x4 or a motorcycle without much luggage. This is a nice place to do some riding if you can find a place around here to stay.
Today, Saturday 24th November 2012, the Marathon Club of Ireland's well known West of Ireland (WOI) Marathon series made it's debut in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland. The first WOI marathon held in the east of Ireland was a great success. About 50 people took part in the marathon. The weather was a very cold frosty morning for running which eventually gave way to some bright November sunshine. The race started and finished from beside Acres Road/Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park. After two initial small loops totalling 1.2 miles the race then took 5 five mile loops clockwise around the Phoenix Park. This took in Chesterfield Avenue, then down towards Chapelizod, up the Military Hill, along the S-Bends, up the hill at the Upper Glen Road, and across Furze road back onto Chesterfield Avenue. A Garmin Connect GPS trace of this five mile loop is available from the links below.
As anyone who has ever raced in the Phoenix Park before this was a demanding course - and to do that loop 5 times could be described as "challenging". However everyone who took part enjoyed the event. We managed to get photographs of most of the participants from the event today! Well done to everyone who took part. The atmosphere amongst the runners involved epitomised all that is great about the marathon. Thanks to Frank McDermott, Anthony Lee, Ray O'Connor, and Pat O'Keefe for making this possible. The marathon club of Ireland organise marathons almost every two weeks all year round. They are not mass participation events. These marathons are officially measured and count as offically recognised marathons. Participants in the events are expected to support themselves with their drinks, gels, and other requirements.
How can I get a full resolution copy of these photographs?
All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution. There are no visible digital watermarks on the photographs from today's race event.
We take these photographs as a hobby and as a volunteered contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also means the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a wall post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible.
My photograph isn't here on your Flickr page! What gives?
As we have stated above the taking and subsequent provision of these photographs, free-of-charge, into the public domain on Flickr is a hobby of ours. Depending on the size of the race event it might be impossible to get a photograph of every competitor in the race. Usually at smaller race events we can manage to take photographs of almost all of the competitors. So if your photograph is not in our Flickr set there could be a number of reasons for this:
* We missed you - sorry!
* We got a photograph of you but it might have been blurred and consequently we didn't upload this photograph
* You might be hidden behind another group of runners
Many races in Ireland have commercial companies providing photographic services. These companies may have managed to take your photograph.

"...why would an orphanage run by a religious order owe property taxes in the first place?
'What’s really funny in the film is how confusing the property tax system really is,' Pappas said. 'The film, unbeknownst probably to the filmmakers, points that out. The question becomes, where do you go to pay?'
Most fans probably never thought about ways in which the story diverges from real life. Near the end of the film, Jake and Elwood pay the tax bill in the office of the Cook County assessor, who was played by Steven Spielberg. Actually, people pay their tax bills to the treasurer." -- Daily Southtown, 8/4/2022
In the 1870's the Southern Pacific (Central Pacific) Railroad sought to link their rails in central California to those in Southern California. The path was blocked by the rugged Tehachapi Mountain range, which acts as an east-west barrier between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. Since construction directly south was impractical, the Southern Pacific Railroad decided to go southeast to Mojave, through the Tehachapi Pass. The summit at Tehachapi Pass was 4000'. Construction from Bakersfield to Caliente was somewhat routine, but from that point on the elevation going east rises quickly. From Caliente to the summit (now the City of Tehachapi) the rise is 2,735 feet. The maximum grade permitted was 2.2%. By routing the track alongside the slopes of the Tehachapi foothills, engineer William Hood could envision completing the task. However, just east of Keene, there was an apparently unsolvable problem. An increase in elevation of nearly 80 feet was required, unattainable using typical designs .
The problem was solved by constructing a unique loop. Going southeasterly from Keene, a train first passes through an entry tunnel. The track then does a complete counterclockwise loop, passing over the entry tunnel before continuing easterly. (See sketch below). The loop is sized to have a length adequate to achieve the needed gain in elevation. The result is a loop 3,799' long, with a typical diameter of about 1210 feet. By continuing to gain elevation throughout the loop, engineer Hood was able to make up the needed elevation (about 77' rise in the loop). With modern freight trains, often more than a mile long, the locomotive passes over (or under, depending upon direction) the final cars of its own train!
The entire track from Bakersfield to the summit was completed July 10, 1876. In all, in addition to the loop, there are 18 tunnels with a total length of 8,240'. There are 8,300
