As ERA’s blue riband Flying Scotsman event smoothly glides into a second decade of outstanding vintage motoring, timetabling for the 12th edition in 2022 is already at an advanced stage.
Following an enforced absence, the UK’s premier rally designed exclusively for Vintage motorcars returns for 2022 with a Northumberland start. Our route then takes us through the very best scenery and roads that the area has to offer before heading into new territory with an overnight halt at St Andrews. Day 2 sees crews covering some famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ roads as they head into the Cairngorms and a halt in Aviemore. The final day will take a less than direct route to ensure crews are kept busy before arriving at the world famous Gleneagles Hotel for the final control and post event festivities.
Our Route Designers have been busy crafting another first-class journey. This combines scenic Regularities on remote country roads with exciting Special Tests where you can enjoy your fine vintage cars to their full. The competition will be suitable for all levels of experience with three days of exclusive vintage motoring and great camaraderie in prospect.
“It’s one of the best, there is something for everyone” John Lomas, Riley driver
“I love the comradeship between the competitors who gather from all over the world to participate” Willy Van Loon, Bentley driver.
I love these small green masked, Green-winged Teals! This drake was just motoring along at the channel at Potter Marsh when I captured him.

This one was in a hurry on the Vic Uni Pond on this day last year.
A quartet of EMD SD40T-2s ramp up D&RGW train No. 242 as it approaches the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon at Mapleton, Utah the morning of June 30, 1989. 5350 is from Rio Grande’s first order of 15 “Tunnel Motors” in 1974, and was one of 15 to be repainted into SP “speed lettering”. UP sent the trusty EMD out to pasture (renumbered UP 8609) in June of 2003.
Union Pacific's Wattis Plateau - Intermountain Power coal train glides through rural Mills, Utah along Chicken Creek with SD60Ms 6142, 6139, and 6144 in charge. The ghost town of Mills is 20 miles west of Nephi and 25 miles east of Lynndyl on the old Provo Subdivision. June 13, 1990
Utah Railway's RUT312 local crosses Interstate 215 on the road to Salt Lake City with cars for the Salt Lake Garfield & Western Railway and Holly Refining, Co. The final vestige of colorful oak brush adorns the foothills of the imposing Wasatch Range on Oct. 26, 2008.
Get your "boat" here! U-Boat that is! I highly doubt any Mercury is going to pull that Ohio Central train along even as level as the track is here at North Zanesville, Ohio.
Float Homes in Mosquito Creek Marina, North Vancouver
Float homes [...] feature truly waterfront living with ocean or river views at a fraction of the price. Neighbours include herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife. While this style of living may not be for everyone, they do come in single family, apartments/condos, custom built or modular, prefabricated options. New models include the usual home amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, heated floors, soaker tubs, on-demand water heaters, and even rooftop decks. They follow stringent building codes, fire safety and environmental standards demanded by local, provincial and federal authorities. (Anne McMullin, Vancouver Courier)

A hen Mallard (Anas platyrhycho) swimming through the dark green water, pushing water and leaving a wake!
This abandoned gas station in Borrego Springs has become a quintessential Instagram backdrop. I see whole amateur film crews pulling up and getting out to do a shoot. It wasn't quite all that when I took this shot in June, 2018. But maybe with a little creative artwork I can hitch it onto the fame train!
A disinterested horse plods along as an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight rumbles through Bison, Montana, while crossing Marias Pass on the southern border of scenic Glacier National Park on September 7, 1999. Burlington Northern GE C30-7 No. 5581 leads a Santa Fe C40-8W and two BN EMD SD40-2s.
I had problems getting the color balance to be consistent. Perhaps I shouldn't use Auto White Balance.
I was watching some stilts on a rainy morning at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, UT, when this guy motored by.

Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 glides through Mapleton, Utah a mile or two from the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon on Sept. 27, 1987.

Lunch was Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Chinchikurin on Sawtelle.
Vietnam took me by surprise. It appeared everyone had the latest Iphone and scooter.
Texting while riding is common place but it's not as precarious as it sounds. The pace on the major streets is never excessive. Everyone appears to move as one mass. People do not seem concerned about beating each other to the next stop. No road rage or flipping people off, even when it gets incredibly congested. I saw no accidents or angry disputes ... very foreign and un-american.
Crossing the street for the first time during rush hour is a leap of faith. One simply starts walking across the street thru the traffic in a deliberate fashion and all the scooters drive around you. It seems like chaos at first but it works. Everyone adjusts to those around them, continuous cooperation in harmony.
