There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made

Must have taken a fair old while for the walls of this abbey to decay this far, and they'll stand a fair while longer I suppose.
We're Here are gazing into the past...
Tripod-mounted & remote-triggered in Pembrokeshire. Fair amount of mucking about in Photoshop to keep the sky in check.

Attacking the grade from St Helens Junction up Sutton Bank to Lea Green 47434 heads a Liverpool bound Trans Pennine working. To the left of the train is an area known as the Pudding Bag originally a complex of terraced houses hemmed in on all sides by railways, constructed for railwaymen and their families. The Sutton Beauty site has a really interesting feature on this close knit community here :- www.suttonbeauty.org.uk/suttonhistory/puddingbag/

Having descended the grade from through the Berkshire Hills rising in the background, Amtrak train 449, the Boston Section of the Lakeshore Limited to Chicago, hustles westbound on Main 2 at MP 147 on modern day CSXT's Berkshire Subdivision, the one time Boston and Albany Railroad mainline, in this view from the Woodlawn Avenue overpass. Holding on Main 1 is CSXT Selkirk to West Springfield train M424 which is setting off interchange traffic for the Housatonic Railroad and then will wait to swap crews with westbound counterpart M425.
Looming beyond is the the last remaining building from the once massive former GE plastics plant. General Electric was once the dominant industry in town dating all the way back to 1903 when when it purchased the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Co., which had been established in Pittsfield in 1890. In addition to its plastics division, GE manufactured transformers in town and operated an aerospace division. At its peak during the 1940s, the GE plant employed 13,000 people - in a city of just about 50,000!
The transformer division shut down by 1987 and took 2000 jobs with it, followed by the sale of aerospace to Lockheed Martin leaving only about 500 employees working for the plastics division. That last operation was closed and the remains sold off in 2005 and since that time many of the buildings on the 324 acre site have been removed, and for the past two decades GE has been working to clean and remediate the area from decades of PCB contamination. In fact I thought this scene looked different from the last time I photographed off this bridge and turns out I was right: flic.kr/p/2nqsYeE
In addition to being a major employer it was once a huge rail customer though today what little trackage remains on the property is rusty and unused and there is so little rail served industry left that CSXT has long since abolished their last local freight crew in town.

Last Monday, Akira Tagawa, Kiyoshi Noguchi, Todd Fong, and I met up and wandered around Shibuya on our way to an izakaya, where we enjoyed some delicious food and drinks.
Thanks, guys, for a great night. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon.
If you are interested in seeing more shots that I took that night, see the link in the comments box below.

On my way back from Grasslands National Park (West Block) I swung by the lonely little ghost town of Neidpath. The weather was great and just perfect for some long exposures with my ND filter.

First proper trip to Cornwall for over a year for bus snapping purposes, have to say really enjoyed it was nice to be back snapping stuff from the big F again.
Naturally headed to the college first as knew I could land a load of shots in a relatively short time.
I was impressed with presentation of the buses just the odd one looking a bit scruffy (mostly the ones left in the old liveries) but nothing like First of years ago.
Here B7s passing like ships in the night except its daytime! Unibus livery KP51WAO having dropped off its students is met with YJ54XUU inbound wearing the smart 'KERDROYA' livery for Cornish landscape labyrinth.
4953 'Pitchford Hall' arrives at Ongar this evening, as Standard Tank 80078 waits to depart the loop with a goods train. Epping Ongar 10th Anniversary Gala.
A derelict church and graveyard, but obviously someone tends one of the graves. I liked the contrast here between the living and the dead, in all senses of the words. The message that everything ultimately returns to dust - even the most alive and vibrant thing in this shot, the flowers in the foreground, have but a brief life.
The nearest grave, with the flowers, is for Neil MacLeod (father, d. January 22nd, 1952 age 69) and Isabella Mason (mother, d. 10th April, 1969 age 83) and bears the inscription at the bottom;
"I to the hills will lift mine eyes."
Still very busy, but hoping to gradually be able to free up more time for Flickr and photography .... I hope you have a great weekend, my friends.

"Go, slip over the edge of our Known World
With the early-setting sun
Of a bright, cool Spring day,
And know that you are leaving
An Earth that renews and recovers
And comes again,
As do the daffodils on this driveway
At the foot of centuries-old beech trees.
You walked your Path,
You walked it well;
You loved, and that was
The most important thing of all.
This Spring sun sets so early,
Too early for those of us
you leave behind.
Come visit us always,
In the flowers of summer
In the soft breezes of an early autumn day
In the crystal ice shapes of a winter frost
And again, in the dazzling light of a Spring sun,
Setting too early in the afternoon sky."
Composed by Andrea Martin
