Description:
Nestled amidst the celestial splendor of Orion, M78 emerges as a mesmerizing portrait of interstellar artistry. This iconic reflection nebula, located about 1,350 light-years away, owes its ethereal glow to the light of young, massive stars scattering off the surrounding cosmic dust. Captured with a precision 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at a focal length of 1635mm, this image delves into the heart of one of the Orion molecular cloud complex's brightest treasures. Dark tendrils of dust weave through the nebula like veins, while the faint blue haze hints at the energetic processes shaping this stellar nursery. In the proximity of neighboring giant nebulae like the Orion Nebula (M42) and Barnard's Loop, M78 feels like a hidden jewel in the vast tapestry of cosmic creation. This detailed view not only highlights its scientific importance as a site of active star formation but also invites the viewer to imagine the dynamic forces at work in this bustling galactic neighborhood.

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.
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
Precisión era una tienda donde arreglaban viejas cámaras de super ocho. Esta foto debe ser de 1987. Está escaneada y reparada en 2014. Las letras de la tienda sufrieron un progresivo deterioro hasta que cayeron con el paso del tiempo.
Sweetwater Precision Weapons introduces a revolution,
a perfect fusion between Russian simplicity and American modularity,
The Sweetwater Precision Weapons “Terrain” ACR AK “Yugo” R12.
One of SPW’s designers spent many weeks labouring over his design, after being tasked to create a rifle combining the firepower and simplicity of the Russian AK-47 with the modularity of a rifle like the ACR. When he finished the designs, he presented it to the manufacturers.
It included:
•A smooth-finished wooden pistol grip
•New trigger system
•Improved durability bolt
•Rail attachable AK Rear Sight
•Structural improvements to the receiver
•New lightweight Mag -release catch
•Petite AK-style Fire Selector
•Cooling vents above bolt
•Smooth sliding charging handle
•4-sided rail system
•25% Lighter weight stock w/ Buckle and Sash
•Hexagonal Noveske-style Flash Hider
•More efficient Gas-Block
•Easy grip polymer AK magazine
•Custom Order Limited Edition Holographic Sight
When the gun rolled off the production line, and was held for the first time, the designer knew it was his best work to date.

I'd really appreciate feedback, be it a fave or a comment ( or both :P) because I spend a lot of time on these things. :)
Please view all sizes!
Thanks to Jake for the company during the days of this build. Thanks buddy. :D
If I added you it's because I want you to see it. :3
Gallarus Oratory, a 1200 year old building on the Dingle Peninsula which has survived perfectly apart from a slight sagging of the roof. I loved the precision of the window and door lining up like this...
HTT!
I guess it takes a good pilot to be able to work on a construction site downtown Montreal very close to all the skyscrapers. This helicopter was going up and down between buildings helping workers to get heavy material on the roof of this building.
This is probably the most precisely straight partline I've ever done. It looks like stock, if stock scalps came with alpaca.
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.
Very clean looking cutaway on an old wreck.
Different wreck at Pin Mill in Suffolk, Fascinating place with loads to look at I've only been here twice once tide in once tide out and took 3 different cameras over the course of two trips.
Looking at the 16 mega pixel Pentax K5 llS, a 24 mega pixel Nikon D7100 and the full frame Nikon D800E.
If anyone knows of any similar places to this in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk please leave a comment I would love to visit all of them.

My share of Airshow shots. :) Blue Angels performed at California Capital Airshow earlier this month. Due to distance differences, #5 appeared smaller, so I can't line them up perfectly. But hey, at least their tails were pretty much aligned.

On 27/02/19 I kept an eye on the 0E19 move from Longport EMD to Hull KGV Docks, to convey 66998 back for export. It was always going to be tight as it was booked through Derby at precisely 1700...when I finish uni! Luckily I finished early and as I went through the ticket barriers, Northern Belle 57312 passed by...that was that then!
As the ensemble went away towards a green signal, they ended up stopping short. This was because a party from ROG had met the train, and one member went to change the tail lamp, which appeared to be a bike light strapped to the lamp bracket with cable ties! He added a standard lamp, then thankfully the crew had a brief chat, during which time I'd run up the platform (with bike) and got just one photo. I also got one video on my phone of the lot departing...I can actually be heard panting in the video!
This is a phone picture as there was not time to get my camera out...below is the video:
M-FWPR sits at Yard Center with KCSM 4527, a rare Grey KCS De Mexico AC4400 The crew had just been informed to tie down after only making it from Villa Grove to Yard Center in about 6 hours. Precision Railroading takes a back seat in some cases, it seems.
