It's been a long time since I've been shooting with anyone who does any kind of urbexing/exploration, which I greatly miss, so I took the opportunity to go. Unfortunately, we found that upper access (which we wanted) was sketchy at best and life threatening at worst, so we scrapped the plan. I still enjoyed going though.
NR4 and NR103 approach the summit of the Great Dividing Range at Heathcote Junction, as they head north for Griffith with 5MC2.
Owing to the ports unable to handle the previous length of the MC2/CM3 trains at 1800m, this service has now been restricted to 1200m, making it easier to strip and load the service during its turnaround time. This in short means it no longer needs a 3rd locomotive.

There must be a lot of tattoos out there which people wish they could erase. Loved ones that you don't know as well as you think you do. Illiterate Tattoo Artists... Tattoo artists that just don't have a degree of the artist part of their job title...Anyway, I like the shot, the colour version I like too if honest, normally i can decide fairly easily which I prefer. I'll process and post it shortly!
It's always a pleasure to spot a Tawny Frogmouth. This one was enjoying the sunny spot on the same eucalyptus as usual, after a cold night. Unlike most of my other sightings of these well-camouflaged birds sitting still and pretending to be a dry broken branch, I was treated to a display of different poses and even preening of one wing. Just one.
Later on I discovered another two birds hidden in the leaves of the same tree.
ribong gallery is currently showing a fantastic collection of pictures by Harbor Galaxy. The show is called "Alter Ego". The gallery layout and design is also very original and dramatic. Here is the taxi for a must-see art exhibition:

A different mockingbird from the previous image photographed from below.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather.
This species has rarely been observed in Europe. The northern mockingbird is known for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, "many-tongued mimic".
The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its tail and wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land.
The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion.
The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior.
Finally, the mockingbird is influential in United States culture, being the state bird of five states, appearing in book titles, songs and lullabies, and making other appearances in popular culture. – Wikipedia
I still id not make a permanent adapter for this lens. Right now it is just 10-15mm felicoid and a piece of rubber. I had to grind out around 3 mm to make it focus to eternity.
For this flower, I put it on an additional 17mm helicoid, so it was almost a macro MFD. Hand held, and the focus is just a hint off but I still like this shot.
O LOCKHEED F-80C é um avião para um tripulante, destinado a missões de combate aéreo e bombardeio. Voou pela primeira vez em 1944, sendo o primeiro jato dos Estados Unidos a ser fabricado em grandes quantidades e a entrar em combate (Guerra da Coréia-1950).
O exemplar da fotografia pertence a um lote de 33 aviões que voaram na Força Aérea Brasileira, de 1958 a 1973.
Esta fotografia passou a fazer parte do acervo permanente do Centro de Documentação da Aeronáutica em 28 de novembro de 2017 por ocasião da assinatura de um termo de recolhimento.
Para saber mais sobre a assinatura do termo que ocorreu na abertura da Exposição "Asas que Protegem o País" no Arquivo Nacional.

Making-of: Em um ambiente escuro e com uma
Canon EOS 5D II apoiada sobre um tripé -
para isolar o F-80 dos outros aviões - o fotógrafo fez
noventa e nove fotografias. Após iluminar
com flash e captar apenas as partes que
deveriam ser exibidas, ele as uniu
digitalmente. Assim, os outros aviões que
estavam perto não apareceram na cena. A
pós produção foi feita para que o metal se
destacasse em preto e branco.
PLEASE... listen!! I cried all over when i heard it. It might have an effect on you too.
This song is amazingly beautiful. Davey wrote it about his older brother, Adam, who is currently suffering from brain cancer. Ill try to post a link to a story later. The song is so moving and David recorded it in two takes, while the emotion in the room sky-rocketed and everyone was crying. This has got to be THE BEST song on the entire album. Its so lovely.
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you’ll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won’t go away today
Will you think that you’re all alone
When no one’s there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary
rest your head
I’m permanent
I know he’s living in hell every single day
And so I ask oh God is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say it’s all touch and go
I wish I could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you’re all alone
when no one’s there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
and everything is temporary,
rest your head
I’m permanent
I’m permanent
Is the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you’ll never see me cry
I realized after i finished the picture that Its called Permanenet and smartly, i made myself almost not there. It may be confusing so ill explain. It goes with "And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won’t go away today
Will you think that you’re all alone
When no one’s there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary... "
Sory bout that :)
Blast Beach, Durham UK
During the rare dry spells we get here on the north east coast of the UK these weird pools on the Blast Beach (County Durham) dry out and the beach surface somethimes splits and cracks into this animal-like skin.
I first came across this old auto several years ago while cruising the back roads of Oregon. I had the opportunity to be in the area again and decided to see if it was still there. Time and memory made it a bit of a challenge but i was happy to find it again.
The first time i saw this i found it by pure chance - i happened to be looking through the window while driving down a steep hillside. I saw a flash of rust about 50 feet over the bank as i drove by. I found a place to turn around and parked off the road and scrambled down the bank.
pochi minuti...I pompieri sono riusciti a far uscire i due anziani dalle loro case..
Fra poco l'implosione. Non c'è vento, andrà tutto bene
Old Dark Grey Universal Carrier Mk. II. The first of several vehicles that will be part of my small WW II Canadian force.
100% free built (no instructions) with heavy design credit to Dan Siskind (Brickmania) for the overall size, dimensions and general exterior. Additional part credit use to Captain Eugene for his ingenious idea of using lego ski's as fenders.
Additional notes about this project:
Built this as a test/ prototype to work out detail ideas with the intentions of building 3 total. Each carrier will come with a custom built Bren machine gun along with additional appropriate armament (Vickers MG, etc) along with various stowage configurations. Dark Bley Brickarms U-Clips are temporary and will be replaced with Gunmetal clips.
Better quality pictures will be posted once final version (with stowage and permanent weapons) is completed.

Just recieved my copy of the Semi-Permanent 2009 book from Design Is Kinky. It made it all the way from Australia fairly unscathed.
The piece I submitted, called "Ruffled Feathers", is the one shown on the right.
