(I've never stayed with a series for very long but I'm hoping this will be different - So much subtle beauty out there.)

On a visit to South Wales in August 1988, I found this Sentinel 0-6-0 shunter at Deep Navigation Colliery dealing with coal hoppers that would depart once laoded as the 6B70 18:55 SCN [Speedlink Coal Network] service to Radyr Junction. What a pity the shunter had been defaced by the white paint markings 'CMA 4000' whatever it was meant to signify?

Looking along the Stroudwater Navigation from the shelter of the tunnel under the railway line.A nice shelter from the rain,but a little noisy when a train passes.
A young beautiful lady goes along the street on windy and snowy winter day. She studies her tablet PC to be on the right course. A good example of instrumental navigation in storm. Candid street photo or a portrait of the pretty young woman. May the happiness be with her.
The Gantocks is a small group of rocks, lying off Dunoon in the upper Firth of Clyde, West of Scotland.
A navigation beacon was constructed on the rocks circa 1886. The beacon is 44 feet in height.
This is a scene that ended up having more significance for me than I thought when I clicked the shutter. Unbeknownst to me, my mother actually worked for Matson Navigation before she met my father. To add a little more synchronicity to the moment, I also found out that dad once owned a gas station about a block away from where I took this shot. Here I was wandering amongst ghosts from my past, and I didn't even realize it. Come to think of it, I did get a chill shiver down my spine as I was standing there.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.
