Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Late 1983.
33 025 'Sultan' stands at Kensington Olympia, facing towards Clapham Junction at the head of an odd train. See below for an explanation of what the train was.
This Western Kingbird and its partner have created a nesting site on a pole between some electrical boxes. Since the area is all fenced in they should be safe from two legged predators unless someone comes to service the boxes.
So far they are very diligent against winged predators.

With about 2 seconds before the clouds screwing me over entirely, CP 6256 leads a westbound CWR out of Lambton Long-Hood-Forward on a nice September afternoon. It was a very odd but cool sight for sure, I was told 6024 was the original leader (with 6256 trailing behind in the rear facing position) but ran into problems on the Mactier Sub somewhere which necessitated 6256 to lead. I assume there was not an available wye to put the units in the right position so they just said screw it.
Tara and I had lunch today and I brought along Tammy & Percy. I think Percy is feeling a bit left out amongst her Kenner friends. xD
Each of the delightful illustrations in this book has odd things happening which the young reader will have to find. : )
Odd One Out.
Author and Illustrator: Rodney Peppe
Published by Kestrel Books (December 1974)
Was putting my washing out and noticed that the pegs were all lined up and that one peg was different to the others…was about noon and the sun was out in full force and thought this was the perfect time to try out my ND graduated filter.

I was walking in Rose City Cemetery in Portland and noticed the unusual name on the stone at front, then noticed the stone behind this one. Odd neighbors, indeed.

This shot is best viewed LARGE!
This was only supposed to be a test shot with my newly acquired Photax 28mm f/2.8 M42 Mount lens but this idea of mine actually came out alright!
This lens is a little soft at f/2.8 but thats kind of expected of a lens of this age.
Please see comments for the second version and the new lens! :)
Comments + Faves appreciated.

HPPT!
I wasn't going to post this as I think it lacks decent focus, it should be that green leaf, but the framing was difficult. I just loved that single green leaf though and the awesome bokeh, so here you go.

Our Daily Challenge: Odd
Misty (KwickWit) suggested I do a self-portrait for today's challenge. Not very friendly of her was it?
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).
"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
--Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action, according to our will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good"
-- George Washington
"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
-- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."
-- Mahatma Gandhi

Sire Thomas Wildey Monument
architectural style: neoclassical, Grecian Doric
architect - sculptor: Edward F. Durang
dedicated: 1865
Past Grand Master, Sire Thomas Wildey established the American charter for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Washington Lodge Number One), in 1819. He was buried in Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery, in 1861.
Atop the doric column is a life-size statue of the widow Charity (protecting orphans) and two children.
The dado (pedestal) bears bas reliefs of symbols of the Order. On the southern face is the seal of the Grand Lodge of the United States. Carvings of Faith and Hope are featured on the eastern and western facings.
The four emblems of the IOOF are sculpted in the faces of the frieze of the entablature - the three links, the heart and band, the bundle of rods and the globe.

While out and about trackside this BNSF engine was helping push. Notice the door on the front of the unit. It is a Conrail door. Weird.
