On August 13th, photos surfaced online of this new SD70MAC/snowplow creation from Mid-America Car, but thanks to a handful of factors, today was the first day that I've had a chance to go check it out.
Behold! It's the BNSF 95280, or the X4902645, depending on which roster you want to look at, I guess. Previously, this had been the BNSF 9528, and it was built in Feb. '95 for the BN with the same number.
From this perspective, it sure appears to be a mechanically-intact 70MAC, but whether or not it can actually run on its own at this point is still unknown. What is known is that this thing is objectively super cool, BUT I am curious as to what type of employee will be operating this thing in the future. Happy Labor Day?
This week in 1966, AS-202 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The mission was an uncrewed suborbital flight to test the Saturn IB rocket and the Apollo command and service modules. The objectives of the flight were to verify the structural integrity, launch loads, stage separation, and operation of subsystems of the Saturn 1B, and to evaluate the Apollo spacecraft separations, emergency detection system, subsystems, heatshield at high reentry velocity, and mission support facilities. All mission objectives were achieved. Today, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center is playing a vital role in the Artemis program by developing the Space Launch System. SLS and the Orion spacecraft, along with the commercial human landing system and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon, are NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and supplies to the Moon in a single mission. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space.

Late evening summer sunshine catches the long meadow grass surrounding the tholtan ruins of Killabregga in Tholt-Y-Will Glen. I captured this image with a 3 stop ND filter to try and capture a bit of wind movement in the scene plus shot at quite a wide aperture to create a shallow depth of field. My objective was to try and capture the essence of summer up in the hills of the island. What the photo doesn't show you is the biblical swarms of midges and other nasty biting insects zeroing in on my face while taking this. Getting eaten alive in the hills, a quintessential summer experience! 😅

敦沙卡蘭海洋公園（Taman Marin Tun Sakaran）@Bohey Dulang Island Tun Sakaran Marine Park (TSMP) are situated at the entrance to Darvel Bay, off the East coast of Sabah near the town of Semporna, it took about 45 minutes by speed boat from the jetty of this small town. Named after then the Head of State of Sabah, Tun Sakaran Dandai, it was gazetted in July 2004 as Sabah’s seventh park. The Park is the largest Marine Park and covering 340 sq kilometers of sea and corals reef and 10 sq kilometers of land.
Comprising 8 islands, their surrounding reefs, and sea. Its main objective is to protect their environment and to promote sustainable use of natural resources. Geologically, the islands are formed from Quaternary pyroclastic material, which was ejected during explosive volcanic activity.

Another snowflake leftover from last year that I finally got around to editing. I keep telling myself that I'm going to stop photographing rime covered snowflakes. But if that's all that's falling what do you do? I guess I'm not the guy who says, "forget this" and goes inside to get warm. I'm the guy who takes the pictures all the while thinking he shouldn't bother.
The Punta Troia Castle is one of the oldest monuments of Marettimo. Was originally a Saracen tower. Around 1140 Roger II, King of Sicily, transformed the tower in a real castle. The site over time was also a refuge for pirates and privateers. With the French Revolution, "Real Castle Marettimo" became a terrible prison, especially for political prisoners in 1793, the castle had at least 52 political prisoners, crammed into a prison created in an old cistern that "the Pit" .'s prison conditions were described in his memoirs by Guglielmo Pepe , who was imprisoned from 1802 to 1803. In 1844 King Ferdinand II, after having inspected, decided to close the prison. During the "big" war it was used as a lookout military and, for a short period, also hosted a telegraph station.
Il Castello di Punta Troia For nearly a century has been abandoned to his fate, threatening to collapse at any moment. But the intervention of recent months, prepared by the City of Favignana thanks to a grant of ' European Union, has helped to save the ancient fortress, making it finally reborn. After years of decay and neglect the Castello di Punta Troia was finally restored and now houses a MUSEUM OF PRISONS and a OBSERVATORY of MONK SEAL of ' Marine Protected Area Egadi Islands. structure is also equipped with spaces (indoor and outdoor ) to be allocated to conference activities and events, equipped with audio-visual media technology. objective is to transform the old fortress into a cultural center in the heart of the Mediterranean, can host events and events of national and international level.
The old Tottenham Hale was an area of low rise and mostly well laid-out buildings.
The new Tottenham Hale was explicitly designed to reduce the proportion of social housing in Tottenham - as set out in Haringey Council's 2017 Local Plan policies AAP2 and AAP3.
Following the deselection of 22 social cleansing councillors in 2018, the two successive subsequent council leaderships have rowed back somewhat from that earlier objective.
This is inhuman design, with bad overlooking, a loss of privacy, and the exclusion of many homes, especially those at lower levels, from adequate access to direct sunlight.
The turning point of planning policy in the wrong direction came with the National Design Guide of 2014, which scrapped such previous standards as the 'seventy-foot separation rule', which originated in the Tudor Walters Report of 1918.
In the last ten years, developers have been taking the mickey with ever-denser designs, and they will continue to do so, until they are stopped.
For now, let's leave the last words with Tudor Walters, 107 years ago:
'Medical opinion is unanimous as to the importance of allowing plenty of sunshine to penetrate into the rooms; it is in the winter when the sun is low even at midday that its light and warmth are most valuable. This should be considered when planning the distance between houses facing one another.'
PS the two tallest blocks at Broadwater Farm are also seen here, on the left.
One of our main objectives of this trip was to photograph Snowy Plovers. We worked hard to find them as we basically had to walk all the way to Mexico to find these cute little ping pong balls with legs!
We found them on the Tijuana border and we found 50 of them and boy were they cute. It was a moment where you just lay down on the beach and they ran all around you as you stayed still. Definitely a moment I won't ever forget. I can't get over how cute they are. The protection for them down there is quite impressive, fish and wildlife drive around and monitor the birds and areas are all roped off where they nest as they are threatened birds. We had border control flying over us constantly by helicopter and Fish and Wildlife on the ground, so those birds are in good hands.

Thank you so much for so many kind comments on the fishing nets images. I didn't want to engage in visual over load, but I do like to show my trips in chronological order. The reason being is that if others are planning a similar trip then they have the beginning of an itinerary. My objective is also to showcase the beauty of an area.
We are now back to wonderful lily pond found on the grounds of the Old Harbour Hotel in Kochi.Lily ponds are often filled with so many plants and leaves floating on the surface, but to me nothing is quite so beautiful as this mess created by nature!

What was this experiment about?
The objectives were to estimate the degree of genetic variation for height growth "dbh" and volume among and within provenances and progenies.
(dbh: diameter at breast height.)
To estimate the additive genetic component of variation for open pollinated progenies.
To estimate juvenile-mature correlations of family traits in order to recommend the best selection strategy for this planting site.
Provenance variation was apparently the most significant part of their experiment, three provenances from Washington surpassed average performance by 25%.
(Provenance: original geographic location of the seed.)
What was the conclusion?
Provenance-pogeny experiments are important to maximize volume production of forests, these should be carried out at least half the rotation age to garner reliable data for future planning.
(pogeny: genetic line/decedents of a particular plant in this case.)
No interesting statistical data such as correlations and R2 has been posted on the sign. This experiment was/is international countries involved include France among 24 other countries.
All information excluding definitions had been posted on the sign courtesy of UBC and was probably part of a long forgotten lecture.

It was a two hour hike up, counting stops to rest, take in the views and of course make use of the camera.
This was the ultimate goal, the scene from the lookout, back south to The Old Man and points beyond. It was clear, sunny, very very windy ... and a thrill I'll never forget.
She bathes to clean the evidence of her latest objective from her body. She is a trained assassin but suspected by no one. Her favourite weapon given by her master for her mastery of the Katana recently cleaned lays in front and a glass of red wine which symbolizes the blood of her recent objective. She forbids to refer to those who are on her list as humans but more of an innate object that bares no life like comparisons. Each accomplished assignment is recorded within a scroll hidden from view. As during the day, she is but a loving wife, mother and member of society. Her secret is for her eyes only, who is on her list is sent to her secured and private. She desperately hopes one day not to see her lover, her husband, the father of her child's name.
Skakdi of the tundra plains, Frax roams the icy wasteland with mercenary objectives. Armed with a small knife and the Bow of the Icy Winds, which absorbs wind and frost from the air to fire bursts of icy death.
My first venture into this style of large scale yet minimalist design, a scale I plan on exploring more in the future - he's by no means perfect, but I'm very happy with how he turned out. :)
Log: “You want me to mount that- on the tank sir?” “The commander said ‘Go Crazy’- and I intend too...” And that’s all that needed to be explained.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is an art museum located at 1071 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 89th Street in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is the permanent home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art and also features special exhibitions throughout the year. The museum was established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, under the guidance of its first director, the artist Hilla von Rebay. It adopted its current name after the death of its founder, Solomon R. Guggenheim, in 1952.
In 1959, the museum moved from rented space to its current building, a landmark work of 20th-century architecture. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical building, wider at the top than the bottom, was conceived as a "temple of the spirit". Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. The building underwent extensive expansion and renovations in 1992 (when an adjoining tower was built) and from 2005 to 2008.
The museum's collection has grown organically, over eight decades, and is founded upon several important private collections, beginning with Solomon R. Guggenheim's original collection. The collection is shared with the museum's sister museums in Bilbao, Spain, and elsewhere. In 2013, nearly 1.2 million people visited the museum, and it hosted the most popular exhibition in New York City.
Already this photograph a long time ago was in Panoramio.

Su exclusiva galería de rampa se extiende desde el nivel del suelo en una espiral larga y continua a lo largo de los bordes exteriores del edificio para terminar justo debajo de la claraboya del techo. El edificio sufrió amplia expansión y renovaciones en 1992 (cuando se construyó una torre adyacente) y de 2005 a 2008.
La colección del museo ha crecido orgánicamente, durante ocho décadas, y se basa en varias colecciones privadas importantes, comenzando con la colección original de Solomon R. Guggenheim. La colección se comparte con los museos hermanos del museo en Bilbao, España y otros lugares. En 2013, cerca de 1,2 millones de personas visitaron el museo, y fue sede de la exposición más popular en la ciudad de Nueva York.

The main attraction for going out on Sunday was to hopefully get a good image of this class of loco running bonnet first in good light. That objective seemed almost impossible as the day drew on! Miraculously the cloud broke to reveal the light on this as it passed myself and my good friend Mark Edmondson through here.
It was worth the wait considering Mark had set himself up from 3pm this day and me not long after! I did break it up however by getting cooling supplies from the nearby Sainsburys.
Link to a description of the thought process behind this.

Mixed media collage, assemblage. Not sure if I have to somehow knock back the brown blob behind the pewter piece in the bottom right hand corner. I think it is a little too dense maybe.
The Magnificent Torii Gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine (Kyoto, Japan)
One of the main objectives from my trip to Japan was to capture the row of vermilion torii gates that straddle the paths at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, traditionally worshipped by merchants and manufacturers. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice.
Due to the extreme popularity of the site, the only way to avoid the masses and “pull off” the shot was to get there early in the morning, as soon as the shrine opened to the public.

"Access; Superman. Command; Eradicate Kryptonion."
Based on the Young Justice and classic Brave and The Bold comic designs of Professor Ivo's Amazing Android, I present to you, Amazo!
The power absorbing super-foe created for science faces off against Supes over the city of Metropolis
I've really wanted to showcase Amazo for a while now. He's been built and sitting with other Legion of Doom members amongst my collection for months now, so I'm glad he gets to finally see the light of day.
Shot of the forceps of an Earwig ( Dermaptera sp.♂)
Earwig forceps contain hardened material made of chitin, the same material as the exoskeleton and usually a darker chitin means that the shell has hardened.
