I've been ill for 7 weeks now, but I've finally picked up my camera again and created something. I'm hugely better than I was, but still needing lots of pills every day, which make me very sleepy. Sadly, I seem to have missed the whole summer. :(
One of the activities which has helped me pass the time is creating wax seals - a modern version of the seals that were used to authenticate important documents in the Middle Ages. They're much prettier now. The lovely thing about it is that when things go wrong, as they do, you can just cut them up, melt them and start again. :)
Thank you to everyone who wrote kind, supportive, comments on my last upload and special thanks to those who sent me personal messages. They really cheered me up and I'm very grateful.
I hope I'll be back on Flickr properly very soon.
Signal replacement on the former Montana Rail Link main line has been at a rapid pace in 2024, quickly moving to the far west end of the railroad on BNSF’s MRL Fourth Subdivision. The westbound searchlight signals protecting the west siding switch at Noxon will soon fall too, seen here with a westbound BNSF coal train passing the endangered searchlights on July 5, 2024.

Just had a great couple of days up in the Peak District scouting new locations and trying out the new camera for the first time, I wasn't especially lucky with the light on this trip at each end of the days but certainly came back with a few dramatic images from the afternoons, and a good list of new spots with potential for the next visit.
I hadn't planned to shoot here today but the contrasty light and dramatic nature of the sky when I was passing by changed my mind.
Naturally as soon as I had set up it started raining and with nowhere to shelter it was just a case of covering the camera up and getting wet for 5 minutes until it passed by, I often like the light that follows a rainstorm so it's worth hanging around rather then running for the nearest tree. it soon blew over and I was able to get my shot.
