So AC DC is coming to Sydney!!!

For the 'Power Up' 2025 Tour.

 

And I got tickets!!!!

Friday night, 21st November, 2025.

Accor (Olympic) Stadium, Homebush.

 

Ultimate A Reserve seats.

Near the stage, elevated above the mosh pit.

Woo hoo!!

 

Cost me a fortune. Insane. But it is, after all, AC DC.

 

Miss 17 and Miss 19 are very amused. They refuse to accept that AC DC is actually more popular than their precious Taylor Swift. Miss 17 remarked with icy sarcasm: "Well there must be a lot of old people buying tickets".

Exactly.

 

So here's 'Highway To Hell':

Oh, and this is an image of the T.N.T style lighting at Darling Harbour, in Sydney. Photographed from the western side of Cockle Bay (Darling Harbour) looking east to the city and the W Hotel.

An American Kestrel hiding in the solid superstructure of a power pole. It appears to be patiently waiting for an adventuring Vole, the favorite food source of this tiny (100g) and colorful falcon.

 

Although I've seen several this season, Kestrels are considered uncommon to rare.

Biding their time and sniffing out opportunity.

With extra power brought down to protect against power needed for a coal train, the power was not needed and had to go back to Saginaw for Monday trains. Starting in Flint on Sunday evening, Y119 is just leaving McGrew yard for Saginaw with a sexy sextet of matched paint 4 and 6 axle units. 4 other units are awaiting future assignments at the north end of the yard as well, but none of this will move until after dark.

The power was out but the lights were on

With such power in its claws and sharp Talons, it is able to grab and hold on too its prey.

Bakreswar Thermal Power Project, under The West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited, is one of the most reliable and prestigious coal-​fired power plants in West Bengal and in India as well. In two stages the total capacity of the plant is (03 X 210)MW. Funded by the Overseas Economic Co-​Operation Fund(OECF) of Japan Govt. — subsequently costituted as Japan Bank for Internattional Co-​operation (JBIC).

Coal fired power plant, two blocks with 757 MW in total. One block now in demolition/deconstruction.

Let me introduce you -

Except it's not. Just another shot of the old power plant that's been turned into a little village inside the city of Austin. As you can tell, I'm really taken by it. If I still lived in Austin, I would want to live here.

The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austin's growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a Turbine Generator Building, a Water Intake Structure and an Oil Heating Building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austin’s municipal utilities.[2]

 

Seaholm served as Austin’s sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the city's reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.[3]

 

Redevelopment[edit]

The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin city council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC" which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site.[4] A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.[5]

 

Work began on the plant's redevelopment in mid-2013.[6] The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015.[7] A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015. As of 2018, the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.[8]

On May 14th I set out for the Deseret Power's morning run, which left the mine right on time around 8 a.m. Unfortunately no afternoon run took place, but the morning shots made the trip down from Rock Springs well worth it!

Consider this a commercial break from the Shocktober series, relieved of commenting.

You can go get something to eat if you want.

Shocktober will return shortly. ;-)

Out of the city; back to the country. I stopped the car to shoot a group of trees, but found this composition more compelling. Seen in County Mayo, Ireland.

This is truly an amazing item which can not be accurately displayed in a still image. The accompanying HUD allows you to switch between 4 different weapons, these knives, a hammer, a smaller hammer and also a scythe. Each time you switch between the weapons these AMAZING particle effects appear. You can also control the demon horns which have effects of their own plus much more! I can not speak highly enough of Trevor x Tanaka's creations! Go check it out to have your mind blown like mine is each time I get my hands on one of them ♥
