Tugs SD Independent and SD Bountiful putting the finishing touches to the berthing of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland (F79) in HMNB Portsmouth. She was ushered into the harbour and manoeuvred quickly and skilfully into her berth to enable rapid precautionary medical attention for a number of personnel following accidental chemical contamination of the drinking water purification system. According to the Royal Navy the next day, all those taken to hospital were expected to make a full recovery, with the majority already having been discharged.

Redegalli built Cascade to celebrate Australia’s Bicentenary in 1988.
To complement the glass Bicentennial conservatory in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the sculptural fountain was built with five hundred precision cut pieces of 6mm thick glass in the shape of a cascading wave.
You'll find Cascade to the south of the Bicentennial Conservatory.
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.

This is the heartbeat before the roar.
A young kicker locks in, body aligned, arms wide like wings in flight, as the rugby ball leaves the tee and slices through the air. There’s no hesitation in his form — just raw intent, laser focus, and that signature explosive release. It's a moment built on repetition, discipline, and instinct… and this frame captures it all.
The black and white edit strips the image down to its essence — no distractions, just form and emotion. It highlights contrast: the light on the player’s jersey against the soft falloff of the blurred background, the clean silhouette of the kicking leg slicing across the foreground, and the textures of torn grass trailing from his boot.

7.62x63mm special precision rifle.
A long-range interdiction weapon developed by Barton Precision Industries, intended to supplement the Arctic Warfare line of sniper rifles then currently in service with many police forces stationed in New Haven.
Thanks to its lightweight precision parts, the Talon is extremely accurate at long ranges, yet very light despite its size. In addition, the 7.62x63mm rounds it chambers pack a heavy punch, allowing accurate operators to silence their targets with ease.
However, purchasing and maintaining this weapon is a whole different matter, as the proprietary parts required for this weapon are quite expensive.
Other features include ergo grips and a built-in bipod.
Precision National Corporation SD24 6327 on the BN at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in April 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 6327 was built in October 1959 as Southern SD24 2508 ( c/n 25604 ), renumbered in 1972 to 6327. It was sold to PNC in January 1978, leased for about a year as PNC 6327 during 1979-1980 to the BN, sold to the ICG during 1980, rebuilt to ICG SD20 2027, eventually becoming IHB 2923.
The Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming air show in Vero Beach. I used to photograph them, and the Thunderbirds, from outside Andrews AFB every year. I'm always amazed. I have yet, though, to actually attend an airshow. Maybe next time.
Its beak went through one into another flower right behind. Slight breeze helped creating painting effect with the grass movement in the background.

Thank you for all your views and uplifting comments!!
The wayward pair of foreign motors on CSX B815-11 was backing through the interlocking at Mexico to pick up the exact same CSX GE that some wise person in Jacksonville has ordered the crew to cut off over five hours previous.
First off, I would like to say that I am very behind with uploading photos, and it's only going to get worse as I start my new job in the next few weeks. But anyways, it's the middle of the night in Pewaukee,WI as CP 581 sits tied down with a now solo NS EMD SD80MAC, a recrew showed up at about 2300, took the second unit to eastwards to Rondout, and left the Mac here dead in the water. Even as of now, this train has yet to move an inch

”Our mission to Nar Shaddaa is still unclear to me. We didn’t even have a real goal or objective - all we managed to do was steal a handful of Nova Crystals and kill off a portion of our forces. Nonetheless, we pulled out with a small yet noticeable amount of casualties. Most were crushed by the falling debris or overwhelmed by the angry crowds of citizens. The rest were separated from their squads and can only be presumed to be dead. One of our soldiers wouldn’t last too long running through the city streets in beaming white armor. Poor guys.”
The 457th fleet pulled out of Nar Shaddaa’s atmosphere with the portion of Nova Crystals that the ground forces were able to retrieve. Kossak Inijic Ar’durv’s Skyhook has been toppled thanks to the efforts of the 55th, and we’ve crippled the operations of the Black Sun. They should be occupied with their own recovery for the next few months, giving the Republic an advantage over the Huttese Hyperspace Lanes. The GAR has successfully pissed off the pirates all over the galaxy; there’s no doubt we’ll be seeing them again soon.

Precision National Corporation SD24 6335 on the ICG at Markham, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1959 as Southern SD24 2516 ( c/n 25612 ) on EMD Order 5606, it was renumbered by the Southern in 1972 to 6335, sold to PNC during January 1978, and leased out by PNC. This unit was not rebuilt, but scrapped by PNC.
The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.

Just one more before I clutter off into non flickr mode.
Yesterday Nancy Rose , myself and hubby attended the Air Show in Shearwater NS. The wind was particularly nippy and the sky, as far as photos were concerned was pretty gray. That said the aerial displays by the Snow Birds was impressive as was the aerobatics display that followed them. I am posted a couple from this event today as I shall be non flickring most of the week again I suspect!
Officially known as the Canadian Forces 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, the Snowbirds are Canada's military aerobatics or air show flight demonstration team whose purpose is to "demonstrate the skill, professionalism, and teamwork of Canadian Forces personnel". The squadron is under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Forces Air Command and is based in CFB Moose Jaw, near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The Snowbirds are the first Canadian air demonstration team to be designated as a squadron.

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired through trades or purchases.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.
Comments are welcome.
