33203 climbs away from Salisbury on Christmas Eve 1986 with the 0650 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids service.
In October 1986 I had bought my first SLR camera and two months later, putting it politely, I was still very much getting to grips with it.
On Christmas Eve I was aimed to capture some images of class 33s and 50s at Salisbury, which operated virtually all passenger trains at Salisbury then.
What I hadn't bothered with was the weather forecast, which combined the saying 'red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning' and the photographer's saying of 'f4 at a fortnight'. A heavy overnight frost was about to be obliterated by a blanket of cloud rolling in from the west.
Out I trotted and this photograph was the closest I came to any sun on a train that day. Everything else was hopelessly composed, dark or speed-blurred, or sometimes all three.
However, 34 years on, it is now clear the day wasn't a complete write-off: this image has reacted well to the wonders of today's photo-processing, and a reasonable image has finally appeared, 34 years after I took the original photograph.
After the small orchids presented in my last uploads, I now present to you an exuberant flower of Brazilian origin, and know as Bráunia, Rosa da mata, Rosa da montanha, Chapéu de sol (see the names in english below).
Although quite large (the ones I photographed here are approximately from 15 to 20cm in diameter), they were also difficult to photograph properly because they are hanging on the branches, wrapped in the shadow of numerous leaves, therefore with low light.
.Scientific name: Brownea grandiceps
.Family: Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae.
.Popular Names: Rose of the jungle, Brownea, Mountain's Rose, Sun Hat
.Origin: The species is native to Brazil, but not endemic, being also recorded in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia. Its occurrence in Brazilian lands was officially registered in Amazonas, Pará, Federal District and Rio de Janeiro. Possibly it is also present in other states, a fact that can only be confirmed by more comprehensive botanical studies.
.Average height: 6-8m in cultivation, 10-20m in the forest.
.Morphological characteristics: They have large leaves and, when young, have a pinkish-purple color, turning green when adults.
The inflorescences are showy, large and composed of several dense flowers in the form of pendant balls, which appear at the end of the branches; the color of the flowers can vary from orange to red.
Very ornamental tree due to the beauty of its flowering, which especially attracts hummingbirds. The wood can be used to make crates. The flowers are used in traditional medicine as an anti-hemorrhagic, property already partially confirmed by scientific studies.
Nemoptera bipennis, también conocida como duende, es una especie de insecto neuróptero de la familia Nemopteridae endémico de la península ibérica, del sur de Francia y también citada en Marruecos. Es una especie de hábitos diurnos que en su fase adulta se alimenta de polen. Presenta antenas filiformes.

This is an image of wild flowers in brass thimble. This was definately the most difficult assignment so far. I looked like a micro-surgeon, operating on small bouquet: converging lens was above bouquet, in my left hand was a pincette, in my right hand was pair of scissors. Also, I had to work very quickly as wild flowers wilt within fifteen minutes. I've worked on this for two days in order to be ready for the big shoot; I've practiced the speed so I could do it quickly and in enough time. At the end I've managed to capture these small wild flowers in a thimble as I've imagined it.
I wish you a lot of years of succesful work and thank you all for helping me learn so much about macro photography.
HBMM!
As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!
The Origaliens have left, but they gave us this precious present.

The present church was built after the fire of 1844. It exhibits a neoclassical construction, decorated with one of the largest organ in South America, a large lamp of Sevillian origin, a French neo-Gothic pulpit, Carrara marbles and wood carving. It is also one of the 70 churches in the world authorized to display the banner of the Vatican.
brought to me yesterday evening by my Timmy :-) He always let her run for a moment in the living room and then caught her again. I was able to catch her with a glass and of course she was quickly snapped before I let her out in front of the house :-) Hopefully I didn't hurt her tail with the glass.
I locked Timmy in the living room for this time. He then looked disappointed that I didn't properly appreciate his gift. He had probably thought that we could chase the mouse together in the living room ;-)
Same time, same place, same adorable kids are in the first comment box.

ME:

I have something for you
BENNY:
Wow....a present....for me?????
ME:
Yes Benny..it's just for you
Because you've been so sweet during the holidays.
I know it is very difficult for you to share something when it comes to something delicious. I've seen you can do it and I'm proud of you. So this is all for you... just open the package.
Benny tears off the paper:
BENNY:
WOW!!! Mummy! That's a big one! It has more than 3 layers!
Thank you Mummy.....I love you so much!!!!
May I also give Jago a piece?
ME:
You decide Benny...it's your pastry!
BENNY:
I love Jago very much...he is my best friend and that's why he gets half of the pastry.
ME:
Well Benny...that's really nice of you.
I think Jago likes it too
The Crater Mine in North Death Valley, Ca. has been mined twice for sulfur although significant amounts of gypsum and sinter are also present. The source of the sulfur is from hydrothermal alteration related to the vapor phase of a hot spring system feeding up through limestones and dolomites.

The Wild flowers of today take over the remains of the past and as the sun shines through the empty windows, the stories of the past remain in the shadows.

In the early‑afternoon light, the old school at Nunnington rises from its cradle of trees like a quiet relic of learning, its hammered limestone warmed to honey by the sun. The breeze moves gently through the garden wall and the tall grasses, as if carrying faint echoes of children’s voices that once filled the 1869 classrooms built in memory of William Rutson. The building feels both rooted and listening, a small sanctuary shaped by the village’s long devotion to education.
Gothic lancet windows catch the shifting sky, their hoodmoulds and foliate stops still crisp after a century and more, while the fleur‑de‑lys finials and carved roundel speak of Victorian pride in craft and purpose. In this moment the school seems to breathe with the afternoon—half stone, half story—holding its place between the quiet of the present and the long, earnest history that shaped its walls.
Nunnington is a village in North Yorkshire

Frustratingly I keep getting the bad panda, or it just takes me back to the log in, which is annoying and time consuming
Several other issues too!
So bare with me and eventually I'll get there :)
Pretty papers all wrapped with care.
Ribbons and tinsel fill the trees and air.

End of the year coming to a close.
Naughty or nice, friend or foe?
Christmas time is the season.
Everyone have a great holiday and please remember the reason.
My adventures continue with my friend, Charles. We went to this year's Rose Festival in Thomasville, GA. This rose was part of the royal family. Some things, some people, stand out and you just know how special and rare they are. I hope each of you have a warm and lovely holiday season. Thank you for your continued support. I appreciate your presence. Merry Christmas!
