Lyrics from the band "Shonen Knife"
...
I have been to london one time
I have been to hong kong one time
Everywhere in the world is good
But osaka is the best town
My favorite town osaka
I have been to tokyo one time
I have been to nagoya one time
Everywhere in japan is good
But osaka is the best town
My favorite town osaka
On Topeka's northwest side is the junction known as Menoken. Here, the Salina Sub breaks off to the west, while the Kansas Sub continues on towards Marysville. For context, that's the US 24 overpass in the background.
Here, the UP 7911 west is pulling a manifest through the junction on its way towards Marysville and North Platte. Trailing in the consist were a pair of freshly repainted GP60E rebuilds; the 1089, and 1061.

The Aurora Borealis put on quite a show last night. I rushed out to catch some of it and I could have been better prepared. Standing around with my camera at -25C in a pair of Jeans isn't the smartest way to go. To say I was cold is a bit of an understatement. Still, I did get a few nice shots before I absolutely had to come home. It was one of the most spectacular shows I've seen in many many years. The greens and reds were dancing all over the sky. In this photo, I captured near the end of my time out there, the lights were really truly kicking off. They were dancing all over the sky in front of me above me and behind me. A few other cars had also arrived with people to look and wonder at the majesty of it all.

With the primary grade crossings in Titusville now clear of snow and ice, 3568 continues on to work customers on the east side of town.

And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
Have you ever thought about living "off the wall"? That's what the two characters of my latest creation did. They probably ended up living like this because of an all-out war that wiped everything out. However they seem quite happy.
This diorama joins my two previous post-apoc works, namely Floating Dystopia and Crazy Bus.
I included some references and easter eggs: the tile with the Blue Cottage as a tribute to set 21338; the Citroën 2CV as an homage to Hayao Miyazaki; the white boat (on the roof!) for my recent 1OK IDEAS Stilt House; many other details that come from my previous works.
Have fun spotting them all!

As if plucking a fish out of the water wasn't difficult enough, this guy wanted to show he could also catch it in midair.

This battle is pretty unfair, because the poor cricket is attacked by two scorpions. Fully focused on his earthly adversary, he does not seem to be aware of the looming danger from above...

It was 100% worth getting up at 5:30 to see this!

Here's how it goes in my neck of the woods....
1. watch the local news to see if the impending thunderstorm will stop the launch.
2. Wait until about a minute and a half before lift off, then go outside and take a few practice shots."
3. Watch the shuttle rise into the sky and fly over the ocean.
4. Watch the tiny, orange speck of flame until there's separation and it disappears.
5. Grab some more shots of the shuttle trail.
6. Go back in the AC and cool off again!

I've decided to take a year off from photography. I've certainly had a number of setbacks photographically over the last year and also I've lost my motivation to pick up a camera. Maybe a long period without picking up a camera will help me find a new appreciation.
Somewhat ironically the sun was quite nice this evening so I shot this last one as the sun sets over Ilkley Moor. I am still judging competitions and enjoying looking at others images though which is something !
