31305 arrives at Blea Moor to run round a ballast train from Ribblehead which I think was a local trip to Skipton. 16 April 1984. Scan from a 35mm Ilford HP5 negative taken by a teenager with pretensions of anarchy and art. Modern Railways Pictorial and the Phoenix RPC’s “Trains of Thought” are to blame.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day. The U2 song 'New Year's Day' said that, not Genesis. Anyway, a final one from my most memorable concert last year.
Made some figs from my favorite current band. L-R: Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, Maynard James Keenan, and Adam Jones.

"Portray femininity or masculinity in a photo"
Last time we had this challenge I took a shot to portray femininity , so this time I should do masculinity .
Not a straightforward thing to do these days without upsetting the" P.C " brigade .
So , at first sight I hear you all asking ,
" what is he on about ? " with my shot here . Well my shot is to portray the music genre that is " Prog Rock " or " Progressive Rock " and particularly in the late 60s and early 70s when Prog first graced ears . During these years there were very few female artists and just as few females listening to or going to Prog concerts . I do know of an odd couple back in the day , for instance Sonja Kristina fronting and playing electric violin for Curved Air who I saw play at The Greyhound in Croydon I think it was . By and large though Prog Rock was know as a bit of a boy's club back then - so that is why this is my shot of masculinity .
Progressive rock was first made in the late 1960s, but became most popular in the 1970s. It continues to be popular today, too. Progressive rock began in England and spread throughout Europe. It remains most popular in Europe, but there are several notable American and Canadian progressive rock bands. This genre was influenced by classical music and jazz fusion. Over the years, different sub-genres of progressive rock have been created, such as symphonic rock, art rock, math rock, and progressive metal.
Progressive rock artists wished to create music that was not limited to the structures of common popular rock and pop music. They wanted to make rock music that "progressed" to the complexity of jazz and classical music by creating a more serious, complex and sophisticated type of rock music. Progressive rock bands may have influences from psychedelic rock, folk music, traditional music, world music, and jazz or jazz fusion. It is also referred to as "prog rock" as an abbreviation, or as "Hobbit rock" because of frequent medieval or fantasy themes in the lyrics.
Progressive rock bands write and play songs that have many changes during each song. Regular rock songs have verses and a chorus, but progressive songs can have many different sections. For example, instead of having verses and choruses, progressive rock songs may have many different musical themes, solos, and musical moods. A typical progressive song might have a form such as: Introduction-Verse-Chorus-instrumental section-New verse-New chorus-Instrumental section-Ending. Because of their depth and complexity, progressive rock songs are not played on pop music radio very often. ( Listen to " The Long Player " on Planet Rock on a Sunday evening - all forms of rock played including Prog and tracks of nearly half an hour are not uncommon !!! ) .
Some of the important progressive rock bands from the late 1960s and early 1970s include The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull; Yes, Genesis; Pink Floyd; Emerson; Lake & Palmer; Rush; Gentle Giant; Happy The Man; Van der Graaf Generator, and King Crimson.
Talking of King Crimson , this should be quite apt ---
