Trams/trains travelling from a to b along a single line track.
A ‘Token’, the name given to an object that is passed from the signalman (a), to the tram/train driver on a single line track used for two way traffic. The driver is then allowed to proceed along the single track; he then passes the ‘Token’ to a signalman (b), at the other end. If there are two trams/trains to go in the same direction (a to b), the ‘Token’ is shown by the signalman (a), to the first driver, and then given to the second driver, who then hands it to the signalman (b), at the other end of the single section of track. Signalman (b), now has control of the said section of track. Further trams/trains following in the same direction (a to b) are halted until the signalman (a), has control of the track once again by having the ‘Token’; which has been returned to him by the driver of a tram/train travelling in the opposite direction (b to a). The ‘Token’ can then be passed to the driver of the halted tram/train for him to proceed. This method ensures there is only one tram/train on that section of track at any one time. If there was a collision of two trams/trains on this section of track then the driver without the ‘Token’ is at fault.
This temporary track is in Mosley Street, Manchester as part of the Second City Crossing construction, leading to the new St. Peter's Square tram station.
I hope this isn't too confusing!
Big sexy pointy things to look at? Heck yes! 😍
Get your mind out of the gutter, you perv. I’m talking about the mountains of the Northern Rockies, like this stupid picture of a moose hanging out in a lake on the eastern front of the mountains. I’m taking out a few folks to point cameras at these mountains (not boobs) this year. You can learn more about that, see more of these stupid groups of pixels I make, and learn how I edit them (or ruin, depending on your preference) at www.ryandyar.com If you sign up for my annoying email list there, then you can watch a bunch of quick free tutorials I have. It might be worth signing up just to laugh at my annoying voice on video.

This photo is actually with 2 minutes exposure and the clouds were moving so fast that the clouds became like feathers.
Moss growing on rocks in the middle of a raging waterfall. Kind of ironic. Moss only growing on still objects. The waterfall is anything but still. I thought that this scene was very peaceful. with the sun beating down on the little island of mossy rocks. It is hard not to feel relaxed

Anton Parsons Passing Time sculpture
Passing Time is by Auckland-based sculptor Anton Parsons, a graduate of the University of Canterbury’s School of Fine Arts. The work consists of a twisting ribbon of randomly linked boxes - with each box depicting one of the years between 1906 (founding of CPIT) and 2010 (the date of the sculpture’s installation). The work can be walked around, walked through, touched and sat on.
“The winding form of the sculpture – placed on a street within the original 1851 grid plan commissioned by the Canterbury Association for their new settlement – is also a nod to the winding Avon River, an irregular feature of the landscape over which a street grid was placed,” says Anton Parsons.

When I got here, it was large scattered drops. Little storms are with us. Sometimes heavy rains for a few days.

I think that the high tide was coming in.
