So many parallel lines, so many lightings and light, aaahhh, aren't we lucky?
No shadow without light!
Thank you, M, (*_*)

This place was never going to last situated down a back street parallel to a main road in what has become a residential area in Hereford. Lovely scene though and great it has been preserved in these photos. Such old style pumps still standing even in this era was something to get excited about and the fact they still have globes on them too is amazing. The old Esso oil cabinet at the back of the site is a clue as are the older pumps - very much an Esso/Cleveland style from the 1960's. Thus I reckon this was an Esso back in the 1970's. The Duckham's sign is also great to see along with the beige Austin 1100/1300 and dark coloured (is it black?) old Escort. I have to say I love this photo! It all went some time ago, the terraced houses just to the right of this view were extended across this site before the earliest Streetview shot and I suspect some time longer ago than that. Here's the same view in more recent times www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.055593,-2.7214536,3a,75y,40.38h...
I got this shot balancing on a mechanical drain on the shore of the main lake at Whisby Nature Park near Lincoln UK. Fortunately I didn't go for an accidental swim!

As he rounded the corner he came within mere feet of being pulled into the parallel universe. The concept of parallel universes, or a multiverse, intrigue me hugely; both in the sense of their potential and for the total impracticality of proving or disproving the theory. Much in the same way of the likelihood of my head spontaneously combusting in the next thirty seconds ... it didn't. Although it could, if I think about parallel universes a bit too hard. So I don't. That is, not unless I'm wearing my flammable hat. No, I mean my inflammable hat ... Oh. It's all very confusing, eh? I might have a lie down.

There was a steepness in the darkness
I wanted to cut it like a comet crash
Hit the city, where you had echoed from a flash
Made it all seem not so bad
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
Don't dare repeat this
But when I lay alone that night
I let the city see me cry
And in my weakness
I wish you hadn't closed your eyes
Crossed the city, open mine
'Cause we were parallel lines, running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
I watched you comb your hands through the light
Every detail spilled from your outline
All at once you filled my eyes
And I could see it all for the first time
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
(The whole sky)
And even in the low light, we were aligned
(We were aligned)
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
(Whole time)
And even in the divide, you and I

he surprised me yesterday when I heard the doorbell ring and it was him. I've been in a lousy mood lately and he came over to cheer me up. we made dinner for everyone and talked and I love him.
my cousins caught a butterfly a few days ago and accidently broke its leg. it could still fly, but it was unusually calm.
beauty and perfection can be odd like that.
p.s. it was surprisingly simple to match the tones in these two photos.

Bridge 1675 just north of Wymondham on the Mid-Norfolk Railway carries the railway over the river Tiffey. It often raises questions from those who see it now. The railway between Dereham and Wymondham was formerly double track, but was singled in 1969. All of the bridges remain as double track structures with the exception of this one. Curiously, only a single track span exists here on the ‘down’ side of the formation, but the abutments show that there was once a second parallel bridge that carried the other track. Whilst this in itself is not that odd, what raises questions is the awful dog leg that exists in the track, where the railway approaches on the up formation and then slews across awkwardly to cross the ‘other bridge’ before wrenching itself back over to continue on the up line again. So what happened to the original ‘up side bridge’?
To answer this question we have to go back to 1982. British Rail had a problem with one of its other bridges at Newmarket, and it needed to be replaced. Bridge number 2221 carries the railway over The Avenue just to the east of the station. This bridge was once a wide structure carrying two running lines and several sidings. At that time the railways were not in political favour and finances were tight. The cheapest option for replacing the bridge was to reuse a suitable one from elsewhere. Back at Wymondham, the ‘up span’ at bridge 1675 was relatively new, had the correct span length, and with the belief that the branch to Dereham and North Elmham was on borrowed time and probably likely to close, was therefore fair game to be redeployed elsewhere. There was also the second (much) older span available to divert the remaining single track railway over, so avoiding severing the branch.
Works on site started in December 1982, where the track was diverted over the down side span, and thus created the dog leg and headache that we still endure to this day. The railways back then had much more capability to do job in-house. Whereas today we would build an expensive haul road, site welfare village, and then bring in an enormous road crane at great expense, they could do the job in one shift using the railway’s own Cowans Sheldon 76t breakdown cranes. The bridge was prepared for removal by exposing the deck ends, transferring the handrails to the other span, removing all extraneous weight of ballast from the deck and then bolting lifting lugs to the top flange on each corner. Meanwhile two heavy duty transporter wagons were being readied for the move. These wagons (coded YVP in TOPS and numbered DB902807 and DB902808) were prepared in Norwich and fitted with special bolsters and hydraulic power packs that enabled the bolsters to slew sideways. Two of these wagons were needed allowing the weight to be spread over 12 axles. Three large counterweights were also made up, formed from packs of scrap bullhead rail. Each was made from 110 x 20ft lengths (about 38 tonnes of metal per pack)
The bridge lift took place on the 2nd February 1983. One crane was set up to the north of the bridge, and its runner wagons then removed back to Wymondham mainline. The transporter wagons were then propelled to site and positioned on the other bridge before the second rail crane was brought to site and erected to the south of the site. The deck was then lifted out and placed onto the special bolster wagons. The load was placed eccentrically onto the bolsters in order to get underneath the three over bridges between here and Wymondham mainline, with two of the counterweight packs of rail placed onto the inboard side of the wagon in order to avoid the whole thing toppling over. These were braced with Accro Props to prevent movement. The consist was then tripped to Wymondham Down Sidings ready for onwards transport.
Movement to Newmarket occurred on the 5th and 6th February, as an out of gauge load travelling at a maximum speed of 15mph, with the headcode 9X33 and hauled by 31220. It is hard to imagine this taking place on today’s risk averse and commercial railway. At every bridge, signal and obstruction that the train passed, the adjacent line had to be blocked and the deck in transit was then slewed over to clear the abutments. The deck was slewed using the inbuilt hydraulics in the wagon, but the counterweights on top had to be manually pulled across using tirfour winches and then propped again, reversing the procedure in order to again clear the other line. The load stabled overnight in Ely Down Yard before completing the trip on the 6th.
With thanks to Bob Wright for the historical photos and dates of the movement.

The wagons involved are both now preserved by the NRM as part of the national collection at Shildon.

fall 2012. self portrait.
this always brings back memories. I took this as part of a series that I created for my photography application to Tisch at NYU, fulfilling the given "parallel universe" prompt. I was accepted, with a full tuition scholarship. I attended from fall 2013 - spring 2014 and then left. something happened that has caused me to not make any real new work since leaving the program.
NYU was my dream school, and I never thought I'd get in. I also never thought that I'd leave.
