[CSX] Q409 had GE ET44AH 3457 as the power on the front as it plodded along the Philadelphia Subdivision between Rossville and Rosedale.
Another GE was running mid-train as a DPU on this incredibly exciting move.
Quando si dice preciso come un'orologio svizzero si esalta una innata qualità del popolo d'oltralpe, che anche in campo ferroviario traspare, poi però basta respirare aria nostrana ed ecco che tutti i buoni propositi vanno a farsi friggere... infatti il Giruno svizzero che effettua il nuovo servizio Zurigo - Genova si trova a passare nella stazione di Villalvernia durante il viaggio di ritorno con una bell'oretta di ritardo. Ecco il RABe 501.006 "Obwalden" di SBB mentre espleta l'EC 308 Genova P.P. - Zurigo transitando bello veloce nella stazione di Villalvernia e strombazzando all'infreddolito fotografo
A hand pan or hang drum. The process starts with a flat disc of steel, manually hammered into a smooth shell, much like a large cooking wok. Then precise dimples are added, and – with even greater precision – the steel is minutely stretched and compressed and manipulated with the precise skill of a studied craftsman and the trained ear of an experienced musician. Eventually, after heat treatments and fine tuning, the top half is glued to a bottom half to create an instrument with such ethereal sonic beauty the angels show up to dance and laugh.
See below for some additional photos of Logan rough tuning the top half of this hand pan in process.
Flatlay still life with vintage engineering callipers (precision measuring tools) bought in an antiques shop in Lichfield, Staffordshire this week - plus a pea for the fun (and focal point) of it
...toll wie die hier anfliegen - elegant und absolut überlegen - dann geht's in einer engen Volte auf den kleinen Teich zur Landung... - der Mensch wird demütig....
die Z9 hat hier voll gebissen - toll war es
The new Longbow Precision rifle, a single-shot bolt action chambered in Remington .223, is a professional-grade competition rifle. This is Tilltac's first foray into the sport side of firearms. The front and rear sights are fully-adjustable competitions sights, with the front having a large shade- both sights can be easily removed to accommodate a scope. This gun is painted in metallic orange and matte black two-tone with gold accents.
I used pictures of many guns to make this one, but it's based mainly on an Eliseo S1 frame and a CSS stock. This might be the first rifle of it's kind ever made in PMG, I'm not sure. I do know that this project took me over 8 hours to finish, using mainly shapes and exploded bits of random odds and ends.
ALSO- I figured out a simple trick to make it seem like screw holes on rounded surfaces, i used it several times in this build cuz I thought it was badass :P you can see it on the front sight and the cheekrest, to name two.

I encourage you to check out how i made the gun, I'm very proud of it, but beware- there are a LOT of layers and a LOT of white shapes. :) it should also put to rest any persistent rumors of me having to photoshop my guns to get them to look good.
I was totally amazed by the monumental constructions by the Incas. These walls were constructed with precisely cut stones stacking on each other. Not a single paste of mortar was used. Can you also spot an alpaca somewhere in there?

One thing I did enjoy about my first job out of college in Montgomery was having a lot of rail traffic literally blocks away from my office in downtown. On days I was driving in the carpool (sure as hell wasn't going to move from Auburn down there) I would usually bring the camera in the event something interesting rolled by during my lunch hour. That was certainly the case on this day as Q681 leaves the capitol city and hangs a left onto the former ACL Dothan Sub for the trip to Waycross. This was one of only two times a former Conrail SD80MAC graced my lenses, so we'll allow the pretty terrible high sun and backlighting a pass.
The parking area at this overlook was one of my favorite lunchtime hangouts during those years working in Montgomery; many days I'd grab a carryout plate at Sam's BBQ and spend the hour just watching them roll by here. Much has changed here in the ensuing 12 years; as the vintage signal bridge has fallen to modern replacements and the clear field in the foreground is completely overgrown and obscures the tracks now. Not to mention the vintage consist of 90's locomotive consist; while 3rd out CSX 325 is undoubtedly still moving tonnage, sister AC60 5011 was scrapped in 2020. Leader 4601 was passed on to Norfolk Southern as their 7227 a few years after this shot, but unfortunately the current "Precision Stock Manipulation" virus led to the purging of the SD80s and many other 90s EMDs from the roster and she met the torch in January 2022.
Adding a sprinkle to a mini-cupcake.
Some days it goes your way, and sometimes it doesn't. Today it went my way. To make this photo I pressed the shutter button on my camera a grand total of one time.
Oh, and I didn't crop either. I did brighten it up a little bit, but that's the only edit.
Just about 30 minutes after sunrise the IBRLA 26 gets ready to take the Main Track at the South end of Bealville with a first order C45ACCTE on the point. Now for the confusing part, while in the Tehachapi area there were three IBRLAs I saw two, none of them went through the pass at the same time, this one was the only train that was actually running on time. The IBRLA 25 is a mere 4 hours ahead of this train (The train was near Ravenna in Soledad Canyon) running 20 hours behind plan, and the IBRLA 24 (see previous photo) ran through Bealville around 1830 on Friday which was only 12 hours behind and that train would get in to East Yard for another 24 hours spending most of Saturday at Highland. Oh and what happens to this one you ask? It will run all the way to Main Street to sit just like all the ZBRLCs did in the past.
Another shot from last weekend's OffShoot outing to the Petit Volant circus and performing arts centre in Sandyford, Dublin.
"I believe there’s nothing like flying. Dancing and playing in the air provide a unique feeling of freedom, peace and accomplishment. I also believe that circus is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or size. It’s a place for collective joy, where the limits are our imagination.
Our aerial circus classes provide everyone with the opportunity to experience something truly distinctive. You will develop many acrobatic skills, work out your body and, at the same time, let your mind fly to places you’ve never imagined could exist. You will build up your confidence, team work and social skills. Oh yes, because you will never be alone… Flying is a collective experience, just look up at the sky and you will understand what I mean."

Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

JE VOUDRAI SOULIGNER UNE CHOSE IMPORTANTE ICI SUR FLICKR
Je ne suis pas là pour chercher l 'amour je l 'ai trouvé depuis 31 ans maintenant et je compte pas le chercher ici!
L 'amitié avec un grand A est la bienvenue pour le reste NON!
Je voulais le preciser ! au cas ou des rumeurs parviendraient à vos oreilles
ICI JE SUIS POUR LE PLAISIR DE LA PHOTO QUE CE SOIT TRES CLAIR!
MERCI et excuser moi pour cet article
