BB-8 has been given part of a map that leads to Luke Skywalker and it is now up to him to deliver it to the Resistance! Play as BB-8 as you roll through the deserts of the junkyard planet Jakku and escape the clutches of the First Order. But watch out for patches of quicksand or you'll drown! You start at Tuanul village which is under attack by the First Order. Navigate through the Graveyard of Giants past a crashed Star Destroyer. Meet up with Rey at her AT-AT home, travel past a crashed X-Wing and some other wreckage, and enter Niima Outpost where you meet Finn and escape in the Millennium Falcon!

Even though they were patched for new owner Norfolk Southern, the blue beasts were still a nice sight when compared to that monochromatic thing third out.

  

Wearing patches over its DMIR paint, EJ&E SD-M #804 sits at Kirk awaiting its next job. Built as DMIR SD9 #169 in April 1959, this unit now works for IBCX.

The Cabbage Patch Babyland Hospital is located in Cleveland, Georgia. It is the home of Cabbage Patch dolls, which were wildly popular some years ago. This shot is of one of the original style dolls. I took it in the showroom. 'Adoptions' of these start at $200. Luckily there are cheaper options there.

 

Natural light is coming from a window camera right. I used an 580EX bounced off the ceiling for fill.

Comma / polygonia c-album. Stanton Canal, Derbyshire. 19/07/15.

 

First generation Comma butterflies have only been on the wing during the last five days in my local patch. This ones wings are worn in places already.

Having watched them swooping powerfully around Hawthorns, I'm not surprised! They are very territorial and fly out to do battle with anything that encroaches. Inquisitive, pugnacious fighters.

The valley sides were lit up with strong patches of sunlight this morning as was the grasses at the roadside.

Soft toys galore .This was one of the side stalls at Hull Fair.

This is a Fallen mushroom rock on the Marcus Landslide Trail.

 

A sign on the trail reads:

A Fallen Mushroom

Here weathering and erosion took their course, toppling this mushroom. Notice that the area under the bottom of the mushroom, where it detached from its base, has a different color than the surrounding area. That small patch hasn't been exposed to air and water for as long as the rock around it, revealing a gap in time between the slowly formed mushroom and the sudden event of toppling over.

The mushroom started forming underground, where water eroded and removed the surrounding decomposed granite to expose it. The large boulder that the top of the mushroom leans against was likely attached to it at one point, which would have made the formation extremely top-heavy. Eventually the base of the mushroom wasn't strong enough to hold the weight above. The actual break at its based could have been caused by water freezing in the crack, strong wind, a distant earthquake - no one knows. Suppose another large mushroom formation like this one had broken high up on a steep slope and slid down. Do you think it could have started a landslide?

Hanbury Street, Spitalfields

This image was taken whilst exploring the local woods in Wiltshire.

The aim of my visit was to capture the bluebells whilst they are in season. I discovered a patch and began exploring the area. I think I spent the majority of the time photographing this location. I would capture the images of the Yellow Dung Fly on one of the Bluebells.

It would turn out to be a day that would have a couple of treats, one being a Red Kite which was harassed by a Crow and the second being hearing a Cuckoo whilst heading back to the car.

This photo features the Crimson-patched Longwing (Heliconius erato), taken at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. Capturing the vivid red patches against the delicate black wings of this butterfly was a thrilling challenge. The setting provided a lush green background, making the butterfly’s colors pop. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/60 second to capture the fluttering movement of the butterfly, combined with an aperture of f/11 and ISO 800 to ensure a deep depth of field and crisp details. The Canon R5, paired with the RF 100-400mm lens and a 1.4x extender, allowed for an effective focal length of 560mm, essential for this close-up.

 

From a photographer's perspective, this image highlights the delicate balance between technical settings and the subject's natural beauty. The butterfly, in its later stages of life with parts of its wings worn, tells a story of survival and grace. Emerald Valley is a prime location for butterfly photography, thanks to the conservation efforts led by Robert Gallardo. His dedication to preserving these species is evident in the thriving butterfly population at the nature center.

Cabbage Patch Kids dolls debuted in 1983 and became a must have Christmas toy.

First time I've seen the species.

 

Patagonia, Arizona. Sept. 2024.

A heavy fog descended on us this morning creating an interesting solid bluish backdrop to everything at first morning light. That "blue wall" is normally a free view over the sea to another shoreline 4 km away so it is very unusual to see it like this and I don't expect it to happen in the exact same way again. This lamppost with its yellow lights pointed at the green lawn below made for a weird and unusual combination of colours. I wasn't able to find a way to overcome the ugly circular artefacts introduced by the flickr algorithms but luckily they do not show up in the print.

In early May 2011, a US 30 roadtrip across Nebraska on a beautiful spring day brought me and a friend to the pedestrian bridge across the UP's triple track Kearney Sub at Lexington. You don't have to wait long to see a train. First up was an eastbound coal load with a patched SP unit on the rear. In the distance, the headlight of a westbound is already in sight.

Rock Island 4509 was "patched" as CNW 4160 for the CNW Days at the Illinois Railway Museum and was in charge of the mixed train at Johnson Siding.

 

RI 4509 was sold to the CNW and renumbered 4160 after the RI shutdown. The engine came to the museum as CNW 4160, brought back to life, and repainted in the blue Rock Island scheme.

You wanna watch him, he's quite the handful XD

The Raritan Valley Line has been dominated by consists of ALP-45DPs and multilevel cars for the past several years. Due to ongoing PTC implementation issues, NJ Transit has adjusted schedules and consists on various lines. One result is this "retro" RVL consist which includes single-level Comet coaches powered by a lone, patched-up GP40PH-2B 4219. This consist would have been common here through the mid-2000s.

We've had a nice stretch of weather the last couple of days. Went for a walk on the beach with the intention of hunting seals. Shot a few the way they should be shot. :-) They're very cute blubber balls!

 

Risked life and lens for these shots. Walking on rocks covered with thick layers of seaweed is NOT easy. :-)

Sporting a replacement fin from a camouflaged example, unpainted engine intake panels and the belly weapons bay fuel tank she was one of three late production 'Buccs', XW986 - 988, ordered by the MoD for weapons trials at West Freugh near Stranraer

 

All three were delivered new and painted non-standard yellow, green and white - all being fitted with wing pylon mounted cameras for weapon release monitoring

Eventually moving to other trials tasks, all bar XW988 were repainted in this MoD(PE) Raspberry Ripple red/white & blue

 

On retirement all three went to 'Thunder City' in South Africa.

XW986 and XW987 as ZU-NIP & ZU-BCR respectively with '988' becoming ZU-AVI
