When the temperature has reached 45 degrees C in the late afternoon, this is the only place to be!

Been on a farm kick, traveling the back roads if Kansas is so inspiring. Beats the fast city life.

Not a normal Old Oak Diagram but one of OOC's pet locomotives is seen ready to depart with the 0940 Poole-Newcastle forward from New Street on 1st August 1984.
Fairly typical of this period is the few gricers hanging around waiting on their next haulage out of 'The Hole', but being a Wednesday there may not be that much around

“Boy, this is a delicious meal! Even though we changed it a bit from the chicken pot pie to chicken stir fry, this turned out better than I thought.”
“Even Mrs. Claus was surprised on how this tasted. This has to be the best croissant I’ve ever tasted. It’s so sweet and soft.”
“And we got our vegetables, too!”
“Thank you, elves, for your suggestion on the stir fry chicken. We haven’t had that here at the North Pole for ages. I’m glad you thought of it.”
“No problem, Mrs. Claus. We’re pleased even the elves liked it.”
“I wonder who is going to do the dishes.”
“Oh, I plan on them doing that as part of their penance, too! Now, what’s for dessert?”
I am taking off tomorrow to Iceland for a week! I am really excited to get back and explore. That being said, I will be absent from Flickr and it'll take me a while to catch up. If anyone has any tips or suggestions for my time in Iceland, let me know.
As for this shot, it's an old one from Christmas day. I had just gotten my wide angle lens and was in a gitty mood to shoot a ton. I was driving to work and realized the amazing colors and cloud cover, so I rushed over to the planeterium to try to capture it. it's one of my favorite shots from this location. There were quite a few photographers soaking in this beauty, which I was sort of surprised given that it was Christmas. For this shot as I basically turned the camera up to get more of the sky than the skyline. hope you all have a great week ahead!
This week's Saturday Timewatch features another photo taken from the excellent Rodney Legg book "Dorset Flight : The Complete History". I will of course be removing this and any other images should anyone moan about copyright. However, I think the photos deserve a wider showing.
It features the world's first submarine aircraft carrier, HMS M2. The aircraft is a Parnall Peto seaplane N255. Initially, once the aircraft wings were unfolded, the seaplane would be lowered into the sea for take off. On landing, the aircraft was hoisted back onto the deck and replaced into the hangar. That concept developed further in late 1928 when a hydraulic aircraft catapult was fitted, recovery still being via the derrick.
It is January 26th 1932 in Lyme Bay, Dorset, west of the Isle of Portland. Sea trials continue but take a dreadful turn for the worse. With water pouring in, the submarine sank, stern first, taking 60 lives. Two theories have been advanced for the disaster, opening the hangar doors too soon whilst the decks were still awash or the failure of the stern hydroplanes. However, what is known for certain is that after a salvage operation lasting almost a year, the hangar door was found open and the aircraft still in it. The salvage was never completed due to a storm and the wreck lies to this day on the seabed as a 'protected place' under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986.
I love discovering new walks and today was a great example of one which has been right beneath my nose for some time.It was the field itself which caught my eye -the sloping hill of lush green. The grass was so short you could tee off!
A pale, pale imitation, but reminds me a bit of David's most recent work. I think you've rubbed off on me, my friend.
It's a pretty accurate description of how I've been feeling lately. I lot of things seem to be changing all at once . . . and I'm not one that does well with change. I need to be, and I have to accept that. Still, it leaves me with this feeling of being slightly off my game.
