Back here on the NPBL, NS typically give the belt line crews either a GP38 to use or a Dash 9 as of recent years. I always thought it was a bit silly for the belt line to use a dash 9 with they only used it for switching. So it came to my surprised when I came to Berkeley yard and saw a SD40-2 working the yard. Hey it make a lot more sense the using a dash 9 to work the yard.
We left Queenstown to make our way to Milford Sounds. Stopped in Te Anau for morning tea and to buy some lunch for our day trip. We we will be staying at Te Anau for the night.
Arrived at Milford Sounds just in time for our boat trip on the 'Milford Sound Nature Cruise" on the 'Milford Marner': For More Info: www.realjourneys.co.nz/en/experiences/cruises/milford-sou...
Day five of our fast trip around the South Island with my friends from the UK. November 5, 2013 New Zealand.
Milford Sound is the most northerly of the fiords indenting the south-western coastline of the South Island; it occupies the trunk portion of a formerly glaciated valley system cut deeply below the surrounding mountains. The mountains rise to heights of 6,000 ft above sea level, and the deepest point of the fiord, near Stirling Falls, is 1,280 ft below sea level. The Arthur and Cleddau Rivers occupy the Milford Valley and enter the head of the fiord; a delta built across the mouth of the Arthur Valley by the Cleddau River is slowly cutting off part of the Sound to form a freshwater lake. The Arthur Valley is occupied by Lake Ada, 3 miles long, which is dammed up partly by old glacial moraine and partly by landslides from the walls of Arthur Valley. From its head, the Sound follows an irregular course for 9 miles to the sea and is joined by Bowen, Sinbad, Harrison, and Stirling Rivers whose valleys were formerly occupied by tributary glaciers. Harrison Valley is still occupied at its head by a small glacier that terminates at an estimated height of 4,500 ft on the south-east slopes of Mt. Pembroke (6,710 ft). Stirling Falls (480 ft), and Bowen Falls (520 ft) spout from hanging valleys over near-vertical faces to the Sound. The inner reach of the Sound has very steep walls reaching heights of 5,560 ft at Mitre Peak and 4,150 ft at the Lion. Like many of the other fiords, Milford is deeper in the inner reaches than about the entrance, and about 1 mile seaward off Stirling Falls the deep basin rises abruptly to a sill at 360 fathoms. Beyond this the floor of the Sound forms a basin a little deeper than 360 ft, which extends out for 2 miles on to the shelf bordering the west coast; the western end of this basin is separated from the indented continental slope by a sill in 240 ft. The basin and sills were formed by glacial erosion which was a result of the confining by the steep fiord walls of the former valley glacier.
Milford Sound offers what is probably the most spectacular fiord scenery in the southern hemisphere, and the well-known and striking views of Mitre Peak from the head of the fiord form the subject of innumerable paintings, postcards, posters, and pictorial postage stamps. The area is well served with tourist amenities, and the luxurious Hotel Milford is situated at the head of the fiord. Visitors may travel to Milford either by car or bus on the Te Anau – Eglinton – Homer Tunnel road, or by plane from Queenstown, Te Anau, or further afield, or by walking the Milford Track from Te Anau. Tourist ships occasionally visit Milford but there has been no regular service by sea for many years. Apart from the amusements provided by the hotel, the attractions of Milford are confined to sightseeing, short walks about the head of the fiord, launch trips and sea fishing and, for the more energetic, tramping and mountaineering. But the sheer impressiveness of the scenery is sufficient to make a visit well worthwhile even if it is only to the head of the fiord.
The first settlers at Milford were Donald Sutherland, J. McKay, and J. Malcolm who, in 1877–80 built permanent huts both at the head of the fiord and at Anita Bay near the entrance. At first they were interested in deposits of asbestos and greenstone at Anita Bay, but in later years Sutherland married and settled down in the homestead at the head of the fiord: By Bryce Leslie Wood, M.SC., New Zealand Geological Survey, Dunedin.

MSCED #1 - I went to a LA Kings game last night. I think I might start uploading daily drawings or sketchbook spreads as part of MSCED (Make Something Cool Every Day). Yes? Yes.
find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.

Jason Day is the world's number one-ranked professional golfer. On the 18th green, after he won The PLAYERS Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, his little four-year old son sprinted on to the green and gave him the big hug you see here. Yep, moments like that make me happy. (Photo by D. Wong)

"Amazing Thailand : A Photographic Tour 2010"
Northern Thailand Day 2
Undoubtedly the biggest and most colorful festival of the year in Thailand is Loy Krathong or Yi Peng, as it is known in Chiang Mai and the north. It is held on the night of the full moon of the twelfth lunar month and usually falls in November.
The Loy Kratong ritual is simple one. One needs only to light the candles and the joss sticks, make one's wishes and let it float away with the current of a river or release the lantern to the air. Its flame is said to signify longevity, fulfillment of wishes and release from sins. Yi Peng is also considered a romantic night for couples and lovers, many of them would make a wish to bless their love affairs as they release their lantern to the air.
it's truly a joy of Loy Krathong Festival.

The thing you should know about us Hispanics, particularly the ones from Central America is that we love soccer as a Canadian loves hockey and so whenever we find an empty space that lends itself very well to a quick game, we take over over it.
In this case, it's underneath the Unisphere in Flushing Meadow Park surrounded by gushing water.
a tree in a temple, Kutch. A ritual where the brides put their bindis, and pray for the long life of their spouses.Or make a wish! The trunk of the tree is full of these bindis, (usually made of thin felt.)
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I were special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
She's running out the door (run)
She's running out
She run, run, run, run,
Run...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Do you know what a beautiful Russian girl is . . . Well, I never really fit in with the description. Crazy hair, chubby legs, deep-set eyes. I cried on the kitchen floor the entire night back in 2000 before attending a huge party for my best friend’s birthday. Every girl was in a beautiful gown, and I was in a faux black leather pantsuit & a white top. My mom always told me how I should change this and that and not say this & that. I was a conservative prude with 0 flirtation and communication skills. I could only give looks. The only place where my skirt was short was in school. Pushkin’s Tatyana was my detailed description at 17. Unconsciously I turned into my fav Russian classic poem character.
Anyway... you are you! Weird, strange, difficult , different. People always try to break, change, and force us to be someone we are not. I was that person at that particular time of my life for a specific reason. Or someone else could be someone else for their reason. Maybe one day I will become your kind of person. Or you will become mine at some other time.
There’s always that scene in my head (over two decades ago) when I promised a certain person to be at a certain place at a certain time. I came, and then I looked at him and realized that I couldn’t face him. So I just ran away! I didn’t apologize or say anything. Not something I would ever do. What was it? Shyness, fear, doubt . . . Carelessness . . . Age . . . When we are young, we have all the time in the world to make mistakes, to doubt, to fear. As time flies by, we barely have time to think. If I could rewind to that time (with me today), I would walk in smile, or laugh as if to say, “I might be a fool, but I’m so happy to be here.”
I love this song. It is so me as a young adult or teenager. That age is so pure in a way and innocent but I am so happy being here now my age today. It is such a relief not to get sensitive all the time, self conscious, upset over little things.
