Long ago, situated on a small hill, this vast barn was the center of the farm, full of animals, sounds and various members of a family doing chores. Today with its doors left open, it is only an afterthought. Once prominent business men and women often find in their old age that past accomplishments are for their memories only, not others.

Die Gorch Fock (1958), in der Literatur bisweilen als Gorch Fock II bezeichnet, ist ein als Bark getakeltes Segelschulschiff der Deutschen Marine. Sie ist nach dem Schriftsteller Gorch Fock benannt, der in der Skagerrakschlacht auf der Wiesbaden fiel.
Bis Januar 2011 legte das Schiff laut offizieller Statistik 741.106 Seemeilen zurück. Dabei wurden bei 439 Hafenbesuchen 180 verschiedene Häfen angelaufen und über 60 Hoheitsgebiete auf allen Kontinenten besucht.

Shot in April 1989 with a Contax 159MM + Carl Zeiss Planar f1.4/50mm ina an Ilford FP4 125ASA film. Years later the photo digitized with a Canon Pixma 4200F scanner.
The last pic of the night 47714 positioned outside the station at Leeming bar 25/01/2025.
It was bit cold but was an excellent night Well done Tom and those that helped him.
With news that Patrick Henry has replacements in position, I thought I'd pay homage by sharing one of my best of the last remaining double-bracket pair. Nestled alongside the Staunton River in a remote, relatively flat region of Virginia about 90 minutes south of the Shenandoah Valley, Brookneal hosts the intersection of the ex-N&W Durham & Altavista Districts. The grade-separated crossing and connection as well as the east end of the siding are guarded by two N&W bracket posts on the Altavista side, the last arrangement of its kind. Acquired when the Virginian was bought out by N&W on the latter side of the 50s, the N&W quickly re-engineered the entire line with its standard US&S position lights. Entering 2024, the roughly 60-y/o installation is joined by the much older Shenandoah Valley Line as the final mainline hold-outs of the once vast N&W signalling empire
In late Spring 2023, the C of G heritage unit splits the signals on its eastward journey with export coal loads for the Port of Norfolk. It was my first attempt at shooting the Altavista, but careful planning and custom maps made the chase a tad more familiar than a blind run into a dark cavern. After nabbing it at Dogwood, I managed to best 8101 to Brookneal (the control point) by a narrow margin, where I soon discovered that the double-bracket signal did not reside. By fate or by fortune, 8101 would make an unexplained stop shortly thereafter, giving me enough time to make the long drive and walk to Patrick Henry for a 3rd shot. In the end, a real winner

Thanks to gbenard for the crop suggestion
This is a shot of an ordinary pedestrian underpass in Munich - very ugly and lonesome, but I think that it offers nevertheless some potential for an interesting shot. Although ugly it's good fun to try to give such places an interesting look. The dark figure in the shot is actually myself and I just used the tripod + timer, no copy and paste here.

Handleturer på Ikea er ikke akkurat forbundet med glede. Heller ikke denne gangen. Jeg hadde derfor tatt med fotosekken for å gjøre turen mer hyggelig. På vei til Oslo regnet det så ille at jeg ikke stoppet. På vei tilbake regnet det fortsatt i bøtter og spann, men jeg stoppet på ren trass. Planen var å ta bilder langs elvepromenaden i Drammen. Jeg dro innom en butikk for å få pose rundt kamera og var nok ikke særlig optimistisk i forhold til mulighetene. Tok noen bilder i trappen ned mot elva, men manglet en menneskeskikkelse. Da kom det en mann gående mot meg. Han kunne ikke norsk og dårlig engelsk, men han lot til å forstå at jeg ønsket at han skulle fortsette opp trappen. Jeg rakk tre-fire skudd hvorav ett satt som det skulle.
Dette er et bilde med stor grad av symmetri. Det er bare rekkverket og stolpen til venstre som gir en viss asymmetri. Dybdeskarpheten er bra til tross for en stor blender. Bildet gikk inn på topp 20 på Explore den 17. september 2013 og er mitt mest sette på Flickr noensinne, med nær 25.000.

For me, shopping at Ikea is not associated with pleasure. Nor this time. I took my photobag with me to make the trip more enjoyable. On the way to Oslo it rained so bad that I did`nt stop. On the way back the rain still poured down, but I stopped of pure spite. I wanted to take pictures along the riverwalk in Drammen. Went to a store to get the plastic bag around the camera and was probably not very optimistic about the prospects. In the stairs down to the river I took some pictures. I lacked, however, a human form. Then a man came walking towards me. He could not Norwegian and talked bad English, but he seemed to understand that I wanted him to continue up the stairs. I managed three to four shots.
This is an image with a high degree of symmetry. The depth is good despite a large aperture. The picture went into the top 20 on Explore, and is my most viewed shot at Flickr.

Hello to all of my friends out there. 2013 was kind of a photography drought for me as conditions for when I was out shooting were not always conducive to me capturing a shot I liked. I could not even post a fireworks shot from the Space Needle for 2014 as 2013 ended and 2014 started with a big fog bank obscuring the Space Needle from view.
Well there was no obscuring of the view yesterday! I had checked the radar befor leaving home and saw a nice thin cloud bank pushing in from the south and west, that is perfect for capturing the colors of our Winter sunrises. It was super cold, below freezing and frosty on the roads as I drove to Kerry Park. The park was also covered in a layer of frost. Of course I send warm thoughts to everyone in the Midwest and East. They would not mind thirty degrees, as that would be warm for them!
This is a combination of three exposures (-3,-1, 1) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I shot at 400 ISO and at f/11. I removed a dust spec in Photoshop as well as did a little light "Dodge and Burn." I pulled back the saturation of the colors too...yes the sky was intense and brilliant. I added a little sharpening and noise removal in Lightroom.
Thank you for all of the views, comments and faves. I appreciate your support. The rain has moved in, so now it will be time to clean out the archives!

One of the many Glaciated rocks that can be found laying around the Cumbrian valleys .
This was one that can be found along the Honister pass .
I do find it fascinating to think that ice has moved these rocks , some are massive !
This one was prob six or seven feet hight and must easily weigh a tun or three :)

About
A second Vertorama from the lake ( De put ) where I went last saturday.
I told I was going to write you a little vertorama tutorial when I had more of these under my belt, but now I think that the method will proof itself much faster if you all give it a try.
The little vertorama tutorial is down below.
The shot
2 x Standard 3 exposures HDR [-2,0,+2EV] in RAW/ISO100 at f/8 using the Sigma 10-20mm lens, on a tripod.
Photomatix
Tonemapped using the detail enhancer.
Vertorama stitching : the lazy bastard way.
As input you need two shots taken horizontally, one above the other with about 30% overlap, I've used 2 horizontal HDR shots taken at 11mm here but that ain't important, just rest assured that there ain't no problem with the widest shots.
So here is the photoshop part :
1) Load both shots into photoshop.
2) If there is too much difference in the colour or brightness of the shot you can alter
one of them to match the most pleasing of the two using the normal tools you
should know by now. This sure doesn't need to be an exact match.
3) Copy paste one of them into the other.
4) Rotate the canvas 90°
5) Select both layers
6) Select 'Edit>Auto-Align layers...' and be sure to select 'Cylindrical stitching'
7) Select 'Edit>Auto-Blend layers'
8) Rotate the canvas 90° in the opposite direction of the previous rotate.
9) Flatten the image.
Now all you have to do is a crop and do all other photoshop work you wish.
Hope it will work out for you too: quick and easy !
In fact this is so dead easy that you can poor this into a photoshop action (step 3 until 9 ) :
I sure did!
You might be wondering what that 90° rotating comes from, but it's plain stupid: the photoshop 'Cylindrical Stitching' algorithm was written to stitch shots taken horizontally, as a cylinder around the photographer, since we're producing Vertorama's here we just fool the algorithm by rotating our images 90°.

A very recognizable symbol of the Pennsylvania Railroad remains in service today in a location far away from a PRR served location. Union Switch & Signal was able to sell a couple of the H-2 pot signals to the Chicago & Illinois Midland for use with crossing warning indicators. This one is at Shops in Springfield, IL at the North Grand Ave crossing. Another one I recall was in Pekin, IL. ETTS may come one day when North Grand becomes a bridge over the NS and I&M diamond.
The pot is displaying the stop indication. Clear is displayed once the crossing warning devices have been activated. This signal does not appear to convey authority across the interlocking.

Is it because of what happened in 1989 that the tian'an men square is full of security forces? Or maybe just a way to show that the people here has no reason to feel in danger? I would better consider the first option but I guess the official reason won't match with my guess...
This is China~~

So I was standing in front of this great stadium trying to take a decent shot. It was the coldest day of the year with -10C - for our friends from Siberia this might sound more like summer temperature, but I thought it was nevertheless uncomfortable. The Allianz Arena has been photographed billions of times, but if you live in Munich it is mandatory to have a shot of this great architecture in your set. I hope that you find this version nevertheless ok.
(to avoid confussion - the light cone on top is an effect and not real)
Same place, (nearly) same time as previous shot - different light and colours. The brand in the frame is accidental, just saw interesting 'cinematic' light on some bright orange bag and took a snap...
Amtrak 42/NS 04T with P42DC 96 leading passes under the signal bridge in Lilly, PA. These signals have their days numbered as PTC work continues just a few miles down the line.
The original position-light signals still stand guard at Maple interlocking in Bedford on the Cleveland Line in June 2001, but the new modern signals behind them with their heads covered will soon replace the PRR-era relics here.

This is my 21st upload from our trip to Paris, yes Frank still a few to come ;)
This is a view from on the bridge Pont Neuf over the river Seine, at the far left you
can see the Louvre museum.
The shot
Standard 3 exposure HDR [-2,0,+2Ev] in RAW/ISO100 at f/7 using the Sigma 10-20mm lens, on a tripod.
Photomatix
Tonemapped using the detail enhancer.
Photoshop
° Shadow & Highlights
° Curves
° Noise reduction in the sky using a mask taken from the blue channel and changed with
levels and manually touched up.
° Desaturation of the blues and an extra Curves on the blues.
° Repaired the movement of the boat under the bridge and the momevent of the car
lights by loading the 0Ev shot, adjusting it until the colours almost matched, copied it as
a layer, added a mask to this layer, made the mask black and painted the needed parts
back in using a white brush in the mask.

A scene that will soon change when the new year comes in.
BL32 runs around its consist at Hanson Quarry's Kilmore East site, the VHQF wagons to the left would be made redundant in 3 weeks along with the company name Pacific National being in the compound.
From January 1st 2016, QUBE Logistics is expected to take over the Hanson Quarry operations conveying gravel from Kilmore East to either Brooklyn (West) or Westall (East) in Melbourne.
