Place: Liping, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province
Liping (黎平) is a small city in Guizhou with around 100,000 people in city proper and is surrounded by the average concrete buildings, but the historical city centre gives it soul. The historical centre basically consists of one street (Qiao street), with stone stairs on each end giving an incredible view over the centre, but there are many interesting side alleys and courtyards to visit. Houses in Qiao street and alleys were built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, but many houses played a role in the foundation of Communist China. During the famous Long March Mao Zedong visited the city in 1934, where he held a conference.

Only about 100mm of snow today and quite misty. 15 Years ago there was a bit more snow and sunshine. Mam Tor would be a bit busier these days.
Ready for another day in the life of the "Office Manager" I've been told My Look is that of a working girl and didn't really know how to take it but now I know I will always be the Office Manager not the other kind of working girl.
One of Cardiff Canton's Steel Sector Class 37/7 locomotives, 37886 (refurbished 37180) sits in the loop at Bromsgrove with 6E58, the late running 02:00 Cardiff Tidal to Wakefield. The load included steel rod and coils of steel wire from ASW's works with a couple of empty scrap wagons at the rear. The VDA vans I assume would be loaded with finished steel products, possibly from Ebbw Vale. The train was no doubt waiting for banking assistance up the Lickey Incline.
This is the area where it is proposed to build a new station for Bromsgrove. The fuel terminal, goods shed and associated structures have all gone and the Garrington's premises in the background was demolished some years back and the land is now a growing housing development. Where I was stood for this image is now overgrown and housing occupies the land behind me, where the wagon works was once located.

This is the first 'proper' picture of a US train I snapped.
On the way back from NY to Sydney I once 'accidentally' asked for flights that would give me a 24hr layover at LAX.
Of course I immediately beetled north in the cheapest, nastiest rental car that I could find and made a beeline for Mojave. The next morning, after a sleepless night in a fleabag $19 a night motel, the Tehachapi Loop was reached for an hour, plus an hour or two at Cajon Pass on the way back to LAX.
The first train was this doozie waiting for a crossing near Lancaster, CA the previous evening. With seven locos in SP's 'soot' paint scheme only spoiled by an additional pair of yellow UP Dash 8s, I was hooked...
I knew little of the loco types (we used to buy US N gauge locos, throw away the tops and build NZ prototypes in 1:120 scale on them) , but somehow had the foresight to take a pic of the trailing 45T-2. Dat must be one of dem tunnel motors I've seen in the Model Railroader... A once-great loco in a once-great magazine; both now with their best years well behind them... April 1998.
The Westin Bellevue Hotel Dresden (since has become Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden) is the best and most elegant hotel that I've ever stayed. And it wasn't expensive when I booked it. My room cost only EUR 84 per night including all fees and taxes.
Very spacious room by European standard, large bed, large bathroom, a proper desk and plenty of space for luggage and souvenir storage :D
Proper office attire must be worn at work at all times, including undergarments.
Here I am submitting to my random slip and girdle check. ;-)
I'm really warming to this look, and the jacket, which initially reminded me of something a Doctor would wear, now looks more and more 'right'
Another beauty from Ovens Street Bakery. So lucky to have them a couple of blocks away for a light rye or a miche like this.
After over 1500 clicks of the shutter, I realise I've been fighting with the auto dynamic range setting on the camera. Now I've found it, it's definitely turned off.

This juvenile Ring-billed Gull demonstrates the proper technique for protecting a freshly captured Shrimp Eel: head out to sea and eat on the fly. Jamaica Beach, Galveston Island, Texas.

Or on Philly.

a little piece of life arrived to our home, she made us smile and happier for four years, until Mother Earth called her back in this last april. She was called Arwen
still missing you, furry friend!
Thank you very much to all my friends for your supporting words, and specially, my dear friend Kurt www.flickr.com/photos/31246066@N04/ for choosing the proper soundtrack: youtu.be/8lBNIiCMu7I

Dedicated to all the pretty girls.
In passing, a friend mentioned that "Triumph" would be even better if there were more ODB (though I don't know that I agree with that sentiment), and I responded that life in general would be better with more ODB. In that spirit, I've had Return to the 36 Chambers on repeat since. Granted, this song is from his second album. But still. More ODB in my life which you know cannot be bad.
I've always always always wanted to use that lyric as a pick-up line, but not a one of my Wu-Tang related pick-up lines has ever succeeded. Which is a dealbreaker.
This song will always have a special place in my heart because of this one time I heard it in a club in Poland, a couple days after my 21st birthday. Been on my mind lately because I'm 23 today and I'm just not all that excited about it. Just an observation.
But enough about me.
Shot this one last weekend on my morning Chinatown photowalk with John. We were both instantly stoked to see a broken pay phone to shoot - says a lot about us as photographers, right? - and so we got to shooting. I took three pictures. This was the first and the best. It's all about getting the proper angle. At first I wished I'd either stopped it down or opened it up more, which I realize is conflicting. Now I kind of like the DoF - it's blurry enough in the background without losing anything up front. (f/5 apparently.)
This was shot outside a photo shop. Which makes me happy. And reminds me that I've got a good deal of film I should probably go get developed soon.
And that preset is basically my new favorite. Shot's better bigger, but I always think that.
