while on a whale watching tour out of moss landing, this common dolphin mega pod with several hundreds animals swimming by our boat, Monterey Bay, CA
Back when Leyland Olympians were still in use on the Plymouth to London Megabus service although on this occasion a Transbus Trident had to suffice.
Not sure I would wanted to have travelled on those standard bus seats all the way to London for 6 and a bit hours but there you go, long as you get there!
It is seen picking up outside Plymouth University, for anyone who is familiar with this area it looks very different today!
When my Lucifer flower blooms it is a busy time for the hummers and me. I set up my big lens on the deck get out my most comfortable chair a bottle or two of top shelf aiming fluid a few Cuban's....cigars a good book and then sit and wait. It doesn't take long before they come in and gorge on the pollen while I blaze away burning up the mega pixels with the camera set to machine gun mode.

It's Mega because it's bigger. Ok I've gone too far...These are my two super stacks linked together. They make a nice urban skyline...kind of Babylonian, but nice.
This is one of the biggest sunspots of recent times. Last week, before it appearance, it released a very large CME, coronal mass ejection. It is now turning towards earth. 'suspicious observers' on 'youtube' has a sun, earthquake, and weather report each day and is currently monitoring the magnetic mixing within this area. If you try to photograph this, use eye protection for yourself and a 'solar filter' to protect your camera.
great day with bunnybrigade, julia die punkatze and the jimmi granti family!!
thanks peter the great host!
Measuring at 7feet tall and 5feet long, RAGEkitty is my largest MOC yet!
First assembled at BrickWorld Chicago, I had never previously fully put her together and took a chance on my mediocre calculations and designwork that she would fit come the event. The LEGO gods heard my prayers cause she fit perfectly and didnt tip over ! (Yes, and those curious, there is a wooden beam counterbalancing the head with the body that runs from the front leg all the way up to the left ear, because gravity dammit!).
Nominated for Best Creature at BrickWorld Chicago! I had initially intended on getting better photos once I got home but as of right now I dont care to put her together for perhaps semi-decent photographs - as I have never photographed anything this large. I did want to at least post a picture that showed the scale, hence silly me in the photo!
Sadly I wont be attending any more brick conventions this year so this was her one and only showing, but I'm happy that it was successfull and I can say I did it!

I thought it was about time I upload some more Mega Construx. Here's a titan treking through the dark, fridgid wilderness
Back in the days of New York Central, Airline Junction was a busy place. As a young fan, dad and I would sit at the Westwood Avenue crossing and watch anything from switchers to fast freight. Believe it or not, this road passed through the most western portion of the yard and had an 18 track crossing! Rarely was the crossing not blocked.
This yard is sandwiched between the mainlines to Chicago and Detroit.
It continued to be a pivotal point after the creation of Penn Central. Trains from all directions would begin or terminate here. This lasted until the formation of Conrail, when it was decided to transfer all reclassification to Stanley Yard.
While not directly adjacent to the mainline, Stanley was a hump facility. It had the advantage of sporting a large diesel house and car shop. Monies were invested in receiving tracks, bowl tracks, and outbounds.
Across the river at Airline, trees and shrubs occupied what was once ballast and ties. Structures were dismantled and tracks were ripped up. The once bustling property was now a ghost town and would remain so for the next 20 years.
In 1994, Conrail opened the Toledo Intermodal Terminal. This new facility was built to replace the intermodal ramp at the Piling , a small yard located adjacent to the Central Union Terminal. The Piling was a cramped facility that often tied up the busy mainlines whenever a train had to stop and work.
Over a short period of time, the new yard became known as the Mega Terminal. While not nearly as ominous as the name implies, the terminal allowed Conrail to keep the mainlines fluid while also offering potential growth in intermodal business. A permanent automobile loading ramp was once on the drawing board, but never came to fruition. Maybe the hope of "Mega" activity between intermodal and vehicle traffic possibly helped coin the nickname?
It is a fantastic June summer morning in 2015. To take a break from a meltdown in mainline operations, I placed myself on the first trick Mega van site job. It was a great job that offered a good quit, meaning I would only be on duty between 5-6 hours.
Mornings are always a busy time in the Mega as depicted in the photo. The train on the far left is the hot 206, a UPS train bound for the Pan Am Railway on the east coast. It is running down Mega 3 to get into position for a quick pickup. The middle train is 24N, a Chicago train that terminates in the Mega. The locomotive on the right is the unit that I'll use to switch cars on the intermodal ramp. My first chore will be yarding the 24N prior to boarding the high hood.
Not knowing it at the time when I opened the shutter, but within a few years 2 of the 3 locomotives shown would no longer exist. Dash 9 9046 traded in her DC motors in a rebuild to AC44C6M 4329. Sister Dash 9 9014 followed suit and is now the 4245.
Go figure! The oldest locomotive of this three some is the only one still surviving in basically as delivered condition. SD40-2 1634 was built back in 1973 for the Norfolk and Western and still wears her one and only number!
A Khakas MэГa-23ПO in regular silver livery, circa 1991.
The Meitarius-Gastrov MэГa-23ПO is a third-generation fighter fielded by the Khakassia National Garrison Air Force. Developed by an alliegance between Gastrov, Khakassia's largest military-industrial firm, and Meitarius, one of the two Kimmerian aircraft design bureaus responsible for the famed MeMe-21, MeMe-23, MeMe-25S, the MeGa-23PO is one of the most plentiful fighters in Khakassia. Great inspiration was brought by Meitarius from the MeMe-23MF, and they applied some of the lessons they learned during the MeMe-23's Kimmerian days of weaning to heart; however, it would still suffer from some of the same famed issues as the early MeMe-23s, with early production runs of the MeGa having a Look-Down/Shoot-Down Radar based upon the one of Kimmerian design, with this and other issues not being rectified until later production runs.
Awesome-o-saurus had already gotten too many requests from others to be able to use his planes, so I took it upon myself to make my own. That, and John Moffat telling me to make a MiG-23 "Better than Awe's", drove me to progressively despise planes more and more. Infinite thanks, as always, to Sebastian, you bastard, for making me keep fixing all of my mistakes with it until it actually looked good, and fulfilled my objective of making one better than Awe's. Just ignore that I messed up scaling the diagram and it's now 64 studs long instead of 54.

Located approximately 100 meters northeast of the Rappbode Dam, the Mega zip line is Europe's longest double zip line. Opened on November 11, 2012, it spans the Wendefurth Dam's surface, which borders the airside of the Rappbode Dam, at approximately 1,000 meters in length and a maximum height of 120 meters. Riders slide while suspended from a harness system. After a rapid "flight," they are slowed by a centrifugal brake on the metal pulleys; the slack rope acts as an additional brake. Those brave enough to dare will whizz over the visitors' heads on the suspension bridge into the valley below at 85 km/h.

Mega is a French producer of very small trucks you can drive without a driving license. Maximum speed of this type of cars is limited to 45 km/h (28 mph). This one is in use as a food truck by a "frietosopher" in English the wordplay doesn't work as good as in Dutch...
