This is probably the most precisely straight partline I've ever done. It looks like stock, if stock scalps came with alpaca.
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.
April 1976. Precision National GP10 3445 sits at the East Park engine house at Conway, Pennsylvania. Precision National was another rail equipment leasing company in the 70s and 80s before going bankrupt.
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.
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.

Más allá de la precisión funcional, la gran virtud de la nueva T4 es la calidad del ambiente interior. Para combatir la frialdad y el aspecto fabril común a muchos aeropuertos, Rogers y Lamela proponen una terminal increíblemente luminosa, donde la luz cenital es tamizada y se introduce hasta la planta inferior. Incluso las pasarelas que cruzan los “cañones de luz” se construyen en vidrio para no interrumpir el paso de la luz natural.
Los típicos acabados industriales son aquí sustituidos por el bambú en el intradós de cubierta y la piedra natural en los pavimentos. La elección del bambú responde a la flexibilidad del material para adaptarse a superficies de doble curvatura. Todos estos factores y algunos otros, como la variación cromática en las series de pilares, contribuyen a aportar calidez y aproximar el edificio a una escala más humana.
Aunque existen soluciones constructivas novedosas, este edificio no pretende hacer un alarde estructural. Al contrario, el elemento protagonista del espacio debe ser la cubierta, por lo que el objetivo fundamental es aligerar y reducir al mínimo todos los elementos estructurales.
Los pilares inclinados de sección variable se ramifican en forma de V con el fin de reducir a la mitad el número de apoyos y de no focalizar las perspectivas visuales. A su vez los “kipper-truss”, o montantes de fachada, son elementos que, gracias al pretensado, pueden soportar la acción del viento sobre el cerramiento y anclar la cubierta ante presiones y succiones, todo ello con secciones mínimas.
Un manto, o superficie alada, basada en un módulo que se extiende indefinidamente sobre una malla de soportes inclinados, captando y tamizando la luz natural para crear juegos de luces y sombras. Esta podría ser, en resumen, la idea que presidía la propuesta ganadora del concurso convocado en 1997. Cómo pudo materializarse constructivamente, nueve años después

Beyond functional precision, the great virtue of the new T4 is the quality of the interior environment. In order to combat the coldness and the industrial aspect common to many airports, Rogers and Lamela propose an incredibly luminous terminal, where the overhead light is sieved and introduced to the lower floor. Even the walkways that cross the "light cannons" are built in glass so as not to interrupt the passage of natural light.
The typical industrial finishes are here replaced by the bamboo in the roofing cover and the natural stone in the pavements. The choice of bamboo responds to the flexibility of the material to accommodate double-curved surfaces. All these factors and some others, like the chromatic variation in the series of pillars, contribute to bring warmth and approach the building to a more human scale.
Although there are new constructive solutions, this building is not intended to make a structural boast. On the contrary, the main element of space must be the cover, so the fundamental objective is to lighten and minimize all structural elements.
The inclined pillars of variable section are branched in a V-shape in order to reduce the number of supports by half and not to focus the visual perspectives. In turn, "kipper-truss", or uprights, are elements that, thanks to the prestressing, can withstand the action of the wind on the enclosure and anchor the cover under pressures and suctions, all with minimal sections.
A mantle, or winged surface, based on a module that extends indefinitely on a mesh of inclined supports, capturing and sifting natural light to create sets of lights and shadows. This could be, in short, the idea that presided over the winning proposal of the competition convened in 1997. How it could materialize constructively, nine years later

I took this shot because I was curious what the squirrel had in its mouth. Turned out to be an old pecan it had dug up. I thought the 2 teeth holding the nut looked very cool so kept the shot.

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.
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."
Mari Rampazzo, Petit Volant owner

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.

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.
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:
So here is the deal with miniskirts. Too long and they don't show your legs and stockings well. Too short and they are indecent and may look vulgar. The key to master the miniskirt is to hit that delicate sweet spot right in the middle, where you are both sensual and seductive yet also stylish and ladylike. For me the best indicators are always my stocking tops: if they peek out from under my miniskirt for just a tiny bit then the length of my miniskirt is perfect. That is demonstrated in this picture: my legs and white stockings are nicely visible including that delightful stocking top peek, yet all elegant and graceful as well. It's always a delight to get it just right!

Modern center pivot irrigation systems use low−energy precision applicators (LEPA) rather than impact sprinkler guns. With LEPA, water is applied directly to inter-rows rather than to plant canopy.
I was asked how I compose with my pinhole box camera, to which my standard response is: “I point it that-a-way”. People laugh when I say that and it’s a little moment of camaraderie. It is practically the antithesis of all things “Ansel”. “Why even bother?” may be the unspoken thought in some minds, and indeed I often wonder why I enjoy the relative lack of precision afforded -and required- by pinhole photography. In truth, there are a number of reasons.
First and foremost, perhaps, is that I cannot be Ansel. [or Ruth Bernard, or Atget, etc]. No one can. And if I try to be any of them, I won’t have enough energy left over to find out who I, myself, can be.
Next, there are surprises. Not always. Like most things photographic, true successes are few, and the time spent in the field is often the only reward I get. But occasionally, the result ends up being a gift I had not completely anticipated.
The last I might mention is surrender. When I place the camera, I have to wait. This image took 30 mins. During that time, I wandered, I wondered, I looked about, watched others work, talked to passers-by. I was alive in the moment, tethered but awake, slacking, lollygagging. Time is it’s own reward, it is precious beyond description. And this surrendering to the moment, this abiding… well, maybe I’m actually chasing this, maybe I just think I’m a photographer.
Point it that-a-way.
Patience and Precision
Standing tall and motionless, this Great Blue Heron embodies the art of waiting for the perfect moment. Captured during golden hour along the waterfront, this majestic bird demonstrates why herons are among nature's most skilled hunters.
The intricate detail in those slate-blue feathers and that razor-sharp focus in those amber eyes tells a story of millions of years of evolution perfected for one purpose: precision.
Sometimes the best shots come to those who wait—just like this incredible bird.
