Thanks to a friendly Flickrite (you know who you are), we were privileged to witness a speed test of the 'Tornado' 60161 Steam Engine, which was built from scratch by enthusiasts in Darlington. Here is the beauty at York Station, still in its original gunmetal grey. Oh yes, and a man in a trench coat.
"Take me somewhere quiet please
These motorway exit gates
Are calling to me dearly
And I need a place to go
And even numbers on a timetable
Arrivals and departures and
Those places, names
Never seemed so strange before
If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?
There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up
If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?
There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up
The occultation of a summer sun
Was burning holes in everyone
Defenceless, what was left inside could finally escape
It seemed as if the streets had melted
It seemed as if the air was scented
I wish all of time could be like this
If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?
There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up
If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush?
There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough
There's nobody else here, so please stand up
And then all of the sudden it's all better better
A little excitement makes us wetter wetter
Oh my love
Again, again, again, again my love"

Please see it LARGE ON BLACK.
Nikko is a small city most famous for the Toshogu, Japan's most lavishly decorated shrine complex and mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. In the mountains surrounding it we found a strange and unbelievably beautiful forest populated by hundreds of 2 meter high wild azaleas (tsutsuji). Even though this photo is cropped to show just a part of one of the azaleas, it shows many small details, so it is best viewed large.
To understand what do I mean by azalea forest, see the next 2 images, www.flickr.com/photos/andrei_linde/3282718304/ and www.flickr.com/photos/andrei_linde/3284738659/

Friday night pictures from an epic, incredible weekend in Leeds. As well as the usual Leeds First Friday event, we were also staying for Leeds Pride on the Sunday - my very first Pride. I met so many wonderful people and had an amazing time, one I will never ever forget.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
~ William Arthur Ward
Among the first words many of us were taught to say are please and thank you. I still distinctly remember a song from Barney which my son (and now my daughter) used to watch all the time. A line of it goes like this:
Please and Thank You, they're called the magic words
No one gets quite as excited as a parent when a toddler first utters those words and makes the connection between asking politely and receiving gratefully. Parents cannot help but feel proud when their little ones learn the meaning of politeness, respect, and gratitude.
However, as we grow older, I suspect we become more adept at saying please than thank you. We focus more on pressing needs than on previous provisions. We petition more than we express whole-hearted gratitude.
As the quote above said, it is not enough that we feel gratitude towards those people who have made a difference in our lives. It is imperative that we show and express those gratitude.
There are 86,400 seconds of today. Have we stopped to spend less than 10 seconds of those to give thanks? And with that, I thank you, my flickr friends for viewing and leaving a part of your thoughts behind on every photo I upload. I don't presume to impress, I only hope to express.
This upload is for my FFF Group's Thankful Thursday theme as well as for Diptych Thursday (although this one's not exactly a diptych).

Also called Back Creek #2 (Hoyt Station). Built in 1936, it is 29 meters (94 ft) in length.
Built with a Howe truss design, which is a typical design of covered bridge found in the province of New Brunswick. This bridge spans the Back Creek.

Me SOOC after my walk.
It was chilly but nice today.
Furry hat was necessity. :)
I wanted the stillness of the morning fog to show very little. I want a person to keep looking through those gates and determine themselves where the path goes.
Update Flickr blocked that person from my stream (without my permission, but it's ok with me) and his douche group has been deleted. I'd assume by Flickr. Flickr said they will monitor his comments. I don't know for how long.
Please read all of this before clicking on any of the links. Thank you.
A Flickr member, who shall now be nameless, has said a lot of things about me on my photo called I'm ____ Like The ____. You can no longer read the notes, Flickr deleted them.
This is America. We have free speech. If it's his opinion that I am a douche, fine. If he thinks I'm stupid, that's fine too. It's his opinion and he is entitled to it.
But several things bother me.
1) He used foul language.
2) His attitude towards homosexuality.
When someone says "that's gay" - that is a slur and homophobic remark. Allowing comments like his is like saying it's ok to gay-bash.
Sidebar - Gays and lesbians all over this country (and I'd guess most of the world) are denied equal rights. And it's people with attitudes like his that prevent homosexuals from being treated equal under the law.
How could homosexual marriage ruin this country?
People like Tiger Woods with his numerous mistresses and Britney Spears with her less than 48 hour marriage (and divorce) and that web site that hooks up married people to have discreet affairs are what really ruin marriage and family values.
3) The third thing bothers me the most. It's what prompted me to take this as it hit me close to home. It was when he referred to me as a "ginnie" and a "guido"
These terms are ETHNIC SLURS!
If someone on Flickr calls you a ______ (insert racist term, hate filled term, or ethnic slur here) because you are ______ (insert skin color, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation here) - should this be allowed in the Flickr community?
I think not.
I emailed Flickr about this - their response was to block him.
This really doesn't help solve the problem. Behavior like this will continue.
PLEASE DON'T send him hate mail or make negative comments on his stream. That would not solve anything and I am not looking to start a fight.
But if you agree that behavior like this is unacceptable - I ask you to email Flickr.
And please forward this photo to all of your friends who would agree that this type of behavior is unacceptable and should not be allowed.
There is enough hate, intolerance, and ignorance in this world. Do we need it here on Flickr too?
