Another view of the new (it opened last year) King's Cross Tunnel Light Wall, which is 90m long.
The left side (as viewed here) is entirely composed of LED lighting panels. They are capable of producing any colour...but while I was there, they remained resolutely white.
You can see another shot I took of this, here:

First retaliatory entry in the five-image challenge that I issued to one Mr. Richard Visionheart... yes, he of the PANO-Vision sabotage juggernaut currently sweeping the Flickr countryside. Everywhere from Kasabonika, Ontario in Canada to Poggibonsi, Siena in Italy and all points in between, men and women are walking about waving their cell phones in the air with erratiKc hand movements, swooping and flailing about and causing onlookers to remark, "That person is definitely on drugs! Weirdos all of 'em!"
The idea for this followed a disKcussion he and I had about portrait-orientated images that are posted here on Flickr and how they just didn't seem to garner the same amount of attention as the wider formats; and a further disKcussion more recently about the brilliance of the King Crimson album Discipline; as well as a couple of beers I was having on a Friday night. Thus, The Frame by Frame Challenge was presented for his consideration. Well! Anyone who knows this man knows that a challenge issued is a challenge met and there just ain't two hootin' ponies about it!
The protoKcol for the five entries each was agreed upon:
1 Posts to alternate back and forth, with Richard kicking off
2 PANO-Vision sabotage teKchnique used for original photo
3 Presentation using portrait format
4 A link to a King Crimson piece of music for each entry
*Additionally, when all is said and done, he will choose one of my five, with me doing the same from his and then we will proceed to apply our own creative treatment to it, consequently producing a final 'bonus' image.

A masque was a form of festive entertainment way back in the day, like way back when folk pranced about in fancy knickerbockers and curtsied and the like. Well, this here theme park in Niagara Falls is all about entertainment however, no one goes about saying, "Me lady, mighten I haveth the next dance?" or anything like that.
This is a live recording also, as is Richard's first entry. Now, ain't that a co-inky-dink, huh? More of a King Crimson side projeKct, Fripp, Gunn and Mastelotto conjure up some pretty sweet sounds, very atmospheriKc and perfeKct for creating by, as would be a moonlit night, or so I'm told.

Enjoy your Tuesday, my dear friends and thanks so much for visiting..
Making the most of having two roads available for fuelling the dmu's as usually 2-road, to the left, is usually occupied by a loco hauled set.
Also I was asked by a Marylebone driver to take a photo that could be used for a tenth anniversary badge. The depot was officially opened on the 7th. September 2005 by Alistair Darling.
Won't be using this shot for a badge as a loco was requested to be in the picture.
Muslims must pray facing Mecca, and so every mosque has a mihrab, showing the direction of Mecca. This one is in one of two active mosques in Bukhara.
My girlfriend's mother has been wanting me to build her something for a long time now. She is going to be getting this for her birthday in a few days (Easter Lilies are her favorite)

Paysage d'hiver snapped in 2012 on the Danube-Tisza-Danube canal in my hometown, Kula, Vojvodina, Serbia.
www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/serbian-railway-station-roof...
At 11:56 AM on Friday, November 1st 2024, the concrete canopy above the main entrance of the Novi Sad Railway Station (Vojvodina, Serbia), weighing 272 metric tons, collapsed, crushing 14 people dead on the spot and 1 passing away 17 days after in the hospital.
The whole building was just renovated as part of the Chinese 'Belt and Road' initiative (renewal of the railway tracks from Belgrade to Subotica). The collapsing roof is a result of a failed reconstruction process conducted by the Chinese investors CRIC-CCCC (China Railway International Company along with China Communications Construction Company).
Both the Chinese investors and Serbian government officials, ministers (from the ruling SNS - Srpska Napredna Stranka - Serbian Progressive Party and it's coalition partner SPS - Socijalistička Partija Srbije - Socialist Party of Serbia, including the Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure - Goran Vesić, the Minister of Internal Affairs - Ivica Dačić and the President Aleksandar Vučić) deny the fact that the suspended roof was renovated along with the whole station building. Spite there are visual proofs one can find on the web proving the opposite. They try to wash their hands and not take any responsibility at all for this tragedy. Their mantra in the state media is that the roof collapsed "as it was old, built in 1964". OK, let's take your claim as true - why the heck you did not renovated the roof when everything else was renovated?!
The President and the officials say "all responsible for the tragedy will be processed and sentenced". In Serbia. Where everything is corrupt. And you can get away with everything, even with negligent homicide, if you are a member or a buddy of the ruling political parties, SNS and SPS...
14 people (11/17 update: the 15th victim, Anja (23) a student of Chinese (how ironic) and a basketball player, who had her both arms amputated after the collapse, died in the hospital after 17 days), including two girls age 5 and 9 with their grandpa, two high-school students, age 16 and 17, a young couple barely over 20, mothers, fathers, grandparents lost their lives while waiting for their train or suburban bus, looking forward to get home to see their loved ones. They were crushed to death in a second due to such massive neglect.
After the 3 days of mourning in the province of Vojvodina, sadly, nothing will change, the majority of the people will "sell themselves" for 20 Euro to vote further on for the SNS and SPS (look up the "Bulgarian Train" voting fraud system on the web).
It is hard to be an optimist in Serbia, no wonder the youth and intellectuals are leaving the country en masse. Myself included.
Rest In Peace Sara (5), Valentina (9), Milica (16), Nemanja (17), Anđela (20), Miloš (21), Anja (23), Stefan (27), Sanja (35), Vasko (45 - citizen of North Macedonia), Đorđe (53), Goranka (58), Vukašin (69), Mileva (76), Đuro (77)
You did not deserved such horrible faith...
"Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me
Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since
Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong
Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
And when the sky begins to fall
The blame, all along in you is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave
Just let them walk all over you (they're right, you're wrong)
Laugh through the punches and the pain (they're right, you're wrong)
Let the life-blood drain away from you (they're right, you're wrong)
They're right, you're wrong"

Folks stopping in for basic grocery items, handmade sandwiches, soft drinks, coffee, snacks, or just to shoot the breeze around the gas heater with neighbors will find welcoming smiles at the Five Points Grocery, located adjacent to the Weaver farm at a busy intersection in rural Macon County (GA).

white edge
It was back to business as usual at work this week after returning from Northumberland.
A lot of rainy days, but the weekend found us on the other side of the Peak District celebrating my father’s birthday.
Sunday was full of promise, so we headed out onto Big Moor to see the heather in bloom.
So here is the trig point on White Edge with the purple heather behind me. Surprisingly there were no deer on the moor today, maybe they are all away on holiday....

Ronda is one of the famous pueblos blancos (white villages) of Andalusia. It is also one of the few cities in the world to have a deep gorge running through the heart of the city, and is luckier still to have the Puente Nuevo (new bridge in Spanish) spanning it. The gorge also served as the most formidable defense Ronda’s enemies have ever tried to attack. Known as El Tajo, the gorge was created by constant erosion of the rio Guadalevín which is fed by mountain streams and melting snow high in the mountains of the Sierra de las Nieves. The gorge is quite narrow, only 68m at it’s widest, but in places very deep, up to 120 metres, adding to the wonder that makes the gorge and it’s tallest bridge, the Puente Nuevo, one of Spain’s most photographed locations.

shining tor
A week of weather woes, mostly due to snow. Travel was cancelled, meetings cancelled, flights cancelled, but at least the weather forecast for Saturday looked reasonable.
Once Saturday arrived, instead of sunny spells there was more snow (and more snow) and freezing fog...
Now a 52 week project is supposed to be a challenge, so it was time to embrace the weather and head out into the limited visibility murk.
So here is the trig point on the summit of Shining Tor in white-out conditions!..
Shining Tor is the highest point in Cheshire (but only just as the dry stone wall in the shot marks the border with Derbyshire), and I can walk to it from my own front door - a lovely round trip of 16 miles.

The most beautiful summary in mosaic tiles of the year 2020. The year 2020 was a bad year for Invader. In Paris he has placed only 18 new space invaders. In total he placed 102 space invaders, most of which of course in Marseille. The third wave in this city includes 84 space invaders. Due to the lockdown, there have been no other waves.
In 2020 the number of FlashInvaders users grew by 35,692 to 153,672 and a total of nearly 2.5 million space invaders were flashed!
This one is located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris and was number 3960 in the world.
