CP nos.8953 & 9542 bring a westbound coal train around the curve and on to the start of the Notch Hill loop in the Shuswap.
This is actually known as the "Yurikamome Loop" as there is a train line called Yurikamome that runs on this loop and over the bridge.
In order to get this angle, I had to walk along a slanted path less than a meter wide. On one side of the path, a 4 meter wall. On the other side, the murky waters of Tokyo Bay. One false step, and into the water I go!
Lens: Tamron 15-30mm F2.8
***Shutter speed***
The shutter time was recorded as 30 seconds, but that's only because I masked in an underexposed photo to retain detail in the bridge which was blown out in the long exposure. So this photo is actually a 220 second exposure, with only the two towers of the bridge at 30 seconds.
all washed and dry now. custom spun singles. separated the colors in the batt and added angelina.

A little family playtime down at the Grand Canyon, Arizona.
Physics quiz: If the car is let go from here at the edge of the south rim will it make it around the first loop? Neglect friction and wind resistance and assume the north and south rim are both at the same elevation.

Always cited as being one of the most productive roads in the north of the park this loop is worth driving if only for the huge Nyala trees and Jackalberries.
If you're very lucky you may also see some wildlife :)

We currently have a Western Hemlock Looper (Lambdina fiscellaria) infestation in my town. When you go out to water the shrubs, bazillions of moths come flying out. They are everywhere!
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.

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!!!!
3oz of baby alpaca and tussah silk!
"Butterscotch Sundae" consists of a blend of pure vanilla baby, natural chocolate baby, and natural coffee baby alpaca layered with luscious tussah silk in butterscotch hues. Each batt is topped of with a sprinking of chocolate/bronze glitz.
So beautiful! Not sure what this will become yet, but I will probably spin it very thin and 2-ply it.

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.
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.

Georgetown Loop Railroad 80-ton centercab no. 1934 (GE, 1951) descends past the attraction's parking lot as it loops around and back to the Georgetown station.
Another from a weekend of photography with Martin Turner, Daniel Borg and Janet Miles.
A big thanks to Dan for remembering how to get to this place as I never would have found it. Certainly a very impressive staircase, which works really well with the purple and yellow contrasts. And in case you were wondering, this was taken with a fish-eye lens of course.
Apologies to everyone for the lack of comments recently, life has never been so busy! Will catch up as soon as I can.
