The Horseshoe Pass (Welsh: Bwlch yr Oernant), ("Pass of the Cold Stream") is a mountain pass in Denbighshire, north-east Wales. It separates Llantysilio Mountain to the west from the 565 metre (1,854 feet) mountain and Marilyn Cyrn-y-Brain to the east. This route dates from 1811, when a turnpike road was constructed across the area. As with the rest of the roads in the Clwydian Range, it is not uncommon for sheep to gather in the road, sometimes causing problems for drivers. The road is also frequently closed in winter due to snowfall or landslides.

They like a cool, damp climate like Scotland where they are grown a lot. I grow them in ericaceous soil in a container as they like neutral to acid soil and I keep them away from hot sun as much as possible. They are considered challenging to grow in the hotter, drier parts of the UK but I find them easy to germinate especially from fresh seed. The problem is getting them through the winter without a cool greenhouse so I find it better to store the seed in the fridge and sow in Jan or Feb. Snails are a major problems and vine weevils and vine weevils also attack them. I lose a lot that way and to difficult weather conditions.

The consequences of the problems that arose with 45231's wheel-flats discovered on Good Friday, 2 April 2021 have almost concluded in south Wales as today (16 April 2021) the Black 5 was taken away by low-loader from Port Talbot 'Up' Sidings for rectification. For those that know nothing about the movement from where the failure was declared, Llandeilo and the aforementioned Port Talbot 'Up' Sidings, on 13 April two EE Type 3s, D6817/D6851 worked light engine from Crewe to Llandeilo. From there they worked a slow moving rescue to get 45231 complete with a wheel-skate on the tender's leading front axle to a suitable location to load the locomotive and tender onto low-loaders, Port Talbot 'Up' Sidings. Once the removal of 45231 was complete the two Type 3s led the support coach as 5Z37, the 13.54 Port Talbot 'Up' Sidings to Crewe. The working is seen passing through Pyle station and about to get stuck in to Stormy bank, I doubt if speed was reduced by the weight of the load!
D6817 was new in March 1963 and allocated to Tinsley, being renumbered 37117 and then 37521; D6851 is a little younger having been commissioned in July 1963 at Canton, renumbered 37151 and later 37667. They both looked superb in BR Green with small warning panels, about six photographers gathered on the station to witness the event.

It's upsetting to see the plumbing has been removed.

This photo shot with my 1960's vintage Zenza Bronica S2A on Ilford film. Photo taken at Fish Lake in the mountains above Whitehorse, Southern Yukon.
Unfortunately, unbenownst to me, the old Bronica camera was suffering from a shutter problem. I got two perfect photos from the roll of 12 then each succeeding image had more and more of the frame cut off at the top. This image is the last of the useable frames, but it is one of only four that are. Every other image was ruined. The following roll was even worse, and then the camera locked up completely.
If any one out there has experience with this sort of issue on the S2/S2A, perhaps you could offer some suggestions in the comments, below? It really is a shame because, as you can see, this camera is capable of taking some striking images, and other than the shutter issue, it's a beautiful unit in mint condition.

Haven't been posting much lately...A website and G+ with a dash of Tumblr have been keeping me busy...and life.
Door problemen met de bovenleiding voormiddag in Diest,was de lijn 35 enkele uren verstoord.
Dan is het altijd handig dat de diesellijn 15 nog bestaat!
Zo kunnen ze altijd dieseltreinen van Montzen naar Antwerpen omleiden langs deze lijn.
Zoals vandaag deze Crossrail Bertschi-shuttle!

Een wat ongewone opname,maar ik had door mijn verplaatsing naar hier geen tijd meer om mijn camera vast op te stellen!
Het was spijtig genoeg de enigste omgeleide vandaag!
Dank Andy en Dennis voor de tip.
Spanish postcard by C y A, no. 29. Photo: Warner Bros. Caption: Troy Donahue, co-stars in Warner Bros. Palm Springs Weekend.
American actor Troy Donahue (1936-2001), was especially known in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a teen idol. His blond hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes appeared frequently on the covers of movie magazines. In the 1970s, alcohol and drugs problems cost him his career.
Troy Donahue was born Merle Johnson Jr. in New York, in 1936
He was the son of Merle Johnson Sr., the manager of the motion-picture department of General Motors, and a retired stage actress. His father died when Troy was 14. When Donahue was 18, he moved to New York and got a job as a messenger in a film company founded by his father. Troy first came into contact with the acting profession while studying journalism at Columbia. At that time, he joined a repertory company. In the mid-1950s, he left for Hollywood to pursue his acting career. Actress Fran Bennett introduced him to agent Henry Willson, who represented Rock Hudson, among others. Willson signed him and changed his name to Troy Donahue. He made his film debut in 1957 with a small, uncredited role in the Film Noir Man Afraid (Harry Keller, 1957) starring George Nader. Larger roles followed, including in the drama The Tarnished Angels (Douglas Sirk, 1957) starring Rock Hudson and Robert Stack, and the Film Noir Live Fast, Die Young (Paul Henreid, 1958). Donahue achieved good reviews for a brief, but effective part in Imitation of Life (Douglas Sirk, 1959), playing a man who beats up his girlfriend after he discovers she is black. The big break came in 1959 when Warner Bros. signed him to a long-term contract. The studio put him to work guest-starring in episodes of their Western TV series, such as Colt .45 (1959), Maverick (1959), Sugarfoot (1959), The Alaskans (1960), and Lawman (1960). They also gave him a leading role opposite Sandra Dee in A Summer Place (Delmer Daves, 1959). The film was a huge success. The young, blond, blue-eyed Donahue became a star, especially with teenage girls, and regularly appeared on the cover of magazines.
In the following years, Troy Donahue played leading roles for Warner Bros. in several major films, especially those aimed at teenage audiences. Donahue's most successful film was Parrish (Delmer Daves, 1961), in which he played the title character. Donahue and Daves reunited for another melodrama, Susan Slade (Delmer Daves, 1962). In Rome Adventure (Delmer Daves, 1962), he starred opposite Suzanne Pleshette, whom he married and divorced again in 1964. In addition to his film work, Troy Donahue could also be seen on television, first in Surfside 6 (1960-1962), one of several spin-offs of 77 Sunset Strip, and then in Hawaiian Eye (1962-1963), another spinoff of Sunset Strip. A more challenging role came with the Western A Distant Trumpet (Raoul Walsh, 1964), about the conflicts between the US Cavalry and the Indians. In 1965, Donahue was cast as a psychopathic killer opposite Joey Heatherton in the thriller My Blood Runs Cold (William Conrad, 1965). While Donahue was happy to break type and play a different type of role, it was not well received by the public. After years in the limelight, Troy Donahue went out of fashion and he was offered smaller and lesser roles. In 1966, his contract with Warner Bros. was not renewed. Low-budget television films became his main income. He had roles in low-budget films such as Sweet Savior (Robert L. Roberts, 1971), Cockfighter (Monte Hellman, 1974), and the horror film Seizure (1974), Oliver Stone's directorial debut. A small revival came when Francis Ford Coppola gave him a role in The Godfather Part II (1974) as the fiancé of Connie Corleone. The character in that film carried his own name, Merle Johnson. However, due to an alcohol and drug addiction, he disappeared from view from the mid-1970s. For a while, he was even homeless. In 1982, he joined Alcoholics Anonymous, which he credited for helping him achieve and maintain sobriety. In the mid-1980s he returned to film, mostly exploitation films for the low-budget home video market, e.g., Sexpot (1990) and Nudity Required (1990). But he also appeared in the cult classic Cry-Baby (John Waters, 1990) starring Johnny Depp. The film spawned a Broadway musical of the same name which was nominated for four Tony Awards. Donahue's final film role was in the comedy The Boys Behind the Desk (2000), directed by Sally Kirkland. Troy Donahue was married several times, but never for long. His brief marriage to actress Suzanne Pleshette lasted from 4 January to 8 September 1964. In 1966, he married actress Valerie Allen. The couple was married for just over a year and divorced in 1968. He was also married to Vicky Taylor from 1979 to 1981. At the time of his death, he was living with his fiancée, mezzo-soprano Zheng Cao. Donahue had two children, a son and a daughter, and three grandchildren. Troy Donahue died of a heart attack in 2001 at the age of 65.

I absolutely love the new Marvel theme! The figs are amazing! And if you notice Deadpools leg printing its perfect XD
Another problem with those e-scooters is that while riding them, you look absolutely ridiculous as you glide along, bolt upright with motionless legs like some kind of alien. At least with a bicycle you're leant over and look like you're doing something, even if a few of the cyclists can be just as much of a nuisance as the scooter riders - the guys on the right of this shot will show you what I mean.
Alternatively, hop on a bus which has the added benefit of windows, a roof and (usually) a sit down, while being piloted by someone who actually knows how roads work. The bloke I've managed to get perfectly silhouetted in the window has done just that as he looks out at the two men preferring the open-air methods of transportation. Bikes are actually pretty decent, and I can thank mine for taking me to get to most of the various locations I've been spotting recently. Around town, however, I'd definitely rather take the bus or simply walk than look like a clown riding a scooter of yellow peril down the street.

Minneapolis, Minnesota
A few weeks ago Julia and I took an intro to bouldering class at Minneapolis Bouldering Project and loved it. Our 2019 goals include both working on our fitness and trying new activities/fostering new hobbies, so after work today we joined the bouldering gym.
Bouldering is a form of rock climbing without using ropes or harnesses. It was originally developed as a way for rock climbers to practice more complex climbing moves at a safe distance from the ground - typically bouldering gyms' walls aren't more than 20 feet tall and have cushioned floors, in case of falls. Today, bouldering has become a sport in itself.
The different color coded routes on a wall in a bouldering gym are called problems. From the easiest, yellow, to the hardest, white, the problems are designed to not only test your physical ability, but also function as a puzzle for your mind as well.
One of the problems for me being a closet dresser is next door neighbours. The open window on the top left is my neighbours bedroom. Obviously it is not easy to get onto the patio when she is around. Also i took the picture from my conservatory which is also in view of her bedroom. Today i saw her go out so felt at ease to be Linda outside.
A problem for a lot of bus and coach modellers is the lack of coaches from the late seventies / early eighties.
If you discount the poor offering of the Duple Dominant from Base Toys there is quite a gap between the early seventies Plaxton Elite to the Paramount 3500 of the late eighties.
No Plaxton Supreme or original Paramount, or Duple's Laser or even a Bova Europa.
The Kassbohrer Setra has always been a favourite of mine but theres only really been a plastic version available in HO scale by Herpa.
It was this model that I used for the basis of this Charterplan specimen which was new in 1982. It was an early example of using a 'cherished' registration mark to disguise the vehicles age and took the mark 583TD from a former Lancashire United Guy Arab that was attached to the training school.
If anyone from Oxford Diecast / Corgi etc is reading this, please give us a decent classic Setra model in 1:76th scale. RHD would be a bonus too!

That's right, problems with the Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VR.
The beautiful photo taken on the 25th with the same
lens failed this morning. 199 photos taken and only
one was usable. And even this one is marginal...
If we lived in Bangkok the lens would be taken
in for a look see, but we live in the jungle a
long was from Bangkok. So, I'm at a loss.
Plus, our financial situation puts this on
hold until further notice............. ;-0---

Day two of our rain, none of the predicted damage has happened in the foothills and it's doing a lot of good to our thirsty state. There should be 3 or 4 feet of snow in the mountains and several inches here in Southern California. I'm loving it!
A little something going on the next street over, out by a driveway. I'm inside the Mini Cooper.
My nephew Marian (4) has a problem. The beer cap is too tough for him. You can guess from his expression how hard is he pushing to open the bottle of Budweiser. But since he is rather stubborn he finally made it. Yes, "if you want you can". Taken with Zuiko OM 50/1,8, aperture either 1,8 or 2, ambient light, cropped in photoshop.
This must perfectly express the sentiments of anyone working in anything remotely like customer service. I found this sign and hung it in the office of my workplace, but first I photographed it to share with anyone who might like it as much as I do.
On Saturday the L train was suspended for a bit because of a rail problem north of Bedford avenue. Subway issues can bring "The City That Never Sleeps" to a screeching halt.
Motorists wait at the road crossing outside Civic as 3642 hurries through with a shuttle service to Cockle Creek.
