Good day at the Mach Loop. Not much in the way of aircraft but the weather was glorious! These were taken on Cad East but next time I'll be on Cad West even tho the light is more challenging.
Former International Railways of Central America 2-8-0 No. 111 (Baldwin, 1926) operating over the narrow gauge rails of the Georgetown Loop Railroad between Silver Plume and Georgetown, Colorado.
The little steam loco hauls its train around the Batasia Loop on the Darjeeling narrow gauge railway way back in 1982.
The group of Indian tourist’s attention is focussed on me rather than the train they have surely come to see. The clouds have obscured the fine views of the valley, the distant peaks, and the foreground is delightfully uncluttered.
Today’s scene is a totally different picture. First came a few tourist stalls selling gaudy tat, then superseded by formal manicured gardens dominated by giant war memorial erected in the middle of the loop.
They say - “Never go back” . . .

Last year - due to unexpected and extended travels - I was gone from Arizona in October and November and missed the entire "autumn color" experience. This year I promised to immerse myself in Autumn.
The Arizona SnowBowl area assists visitors with signs that read "Aspen Loop Trail" - can't get any easier than that. Except that means visitors flock to the area even on weekdays. But I ignored them and pointed my camera away from the Trail and absorbed the quiet and beauty that could be found - even on a busy day on a busy trail.
A fern in the garden which seems to create only one new frond per year, in midsummer. Its unwinding creates striking patterns.

Booklet design by yours truly.

Going through some shots from earlier in this year and re-discovered this one inside Newport Street Gallery, London.
I corespun 16 Loop babycakes, that I thought representsd each element (4 babies per element). It works from air to earth, fire then water. Each element has 4 subtle stripes from the different babycakes.
I'm SOO thrilled!!!
Mesh crochet stitch, made from Loop's Belly Dancer batt. (or Belly Dancer Too, can't remember which). Corespun with lots of coccoons and sequins. Fringe is made from plastic "bone" rings with single crochet, then a long chain of different lengths for variety.
Been into the scrap box looking for 'something interesting' Came across this piece of braid that I then looped and laid on the desk-top.
What I really wanted to do was to try out my latest vintage lens. And this is a monster - very much a case of the lens holding the camera not vice-versa. Of course, its minimum focusing distance is just over 8 feet making it very unsuitable for indoor use. However, attachig all my extension tubes got me to about 3 feet from the piece of braid, and the section photographed is just under 3 inches of it.
Focus is something of a nightmare because my tripod is not stable enough and there is a lot of shake - very much a case of slowly and carefully does it, and delayed-release. Depth of field is pretty thin even at the aperture of f8 I used for this photograph.
Was it worth the bother?
Yes - because it was fun.
Yes - because its a challenge.
Yes - because I've learnt something about an obscure Russian lens.
No - because I could get a technically better result using a more standard lens.

Si lo hubiera sabido... Si lo hubiera pensado... Si solo por un momento lo hubiera imaginado, quizás, solo quizás, habría estado preparado. Pero no, no, no, nunca se está preparado para el final, y yo te añoro tanto.

Mach Loop Bwlch top shelf 26.04.2016
I am very much an opportunist as far as the Loop is concerned. I don't have the privilege of tip offs or contacts within squadrons like some do unfortunately.
I will book a day off work, drive to Mid Wales climb a big hill and just hope for the best. I arrived at the Bwlch car park just before 8am and it was full! Last time it was like this I had a good day.... Today was probably the most memorable day I will ever have in the loop.
Started off well with a Tornado GR4, then a Hawk. Then it got interesting, Belgians in the Lichfield Corridor over the scanner requesting Low Fly. Awesome! F16s through the loop, really pleased!
A little longer passed and we endured a full blown blizzard for about 20 minutes. Once the snow passed the skies cleared and then we waited. Americans over the scanner, Rage was the call sign, F15's were on the way! As they neared then they began talking about the formation, they had Raptors in tow!!!!

SKYE Suites Building Green Square, Sydney. This striking Koichi Takada-designed Infinity building is curvaceous and looped, and with a hole piercing right through the middle.
I spun this up from my September Loop batt . It's angora and alpaca with silk noils, angelina and cotton. I plied it with multicolored thread.
Nous Vous - 'Fresh Ones’ at Loop Arts Fair
For our part in Loop we set up painting studio under our ‘Fresh Ones’ banner. Alongside our fast becoming standard product range we scoured Leeds for rogue bits of wood, got some recycled paint and made spontaneous paintings over the two days.
This is one of my paintings.
It is still for sale, £50, get in touch if you're interested.
My thoughts have turned recently to a memorable visit to Yellowstone last summer with Bill Wight. We were scouting locations for a future workshop. It was a stormy afternoon which made for some dramatic clouds and weather. This is a view of a rain swollen Elk Antler Creek along the Grand Loop Road.
View the entire Yellowstone Set.
