These locomotives are both CF7's, a model that was created by Santa Fe when they converted many of their streamlined locomotives, which weren't well suited for freight use, to the more utilitarian form that you see here.
2535 was built in September, 1949 as an EMD F7A; 2507 was built in March, 1953. Both were sold in the late 80's and ended up serving one of the grain facilities in Saginaw until they retired; both were scrapped here two months after this photo was taken.
If you're interested in learning more about these locomotives, Cary Poole has an excellent book, "CF7 Locomotives: From Cleburne to Everywhere," which is worth picking up for two reasons: one, it's an excellent book; two, Cary's a terrifically nice guy.

Hat tip to Stephen Coles for introducing me to this wonderful book full of totally weird photographic interpretations of each typeface.
I've shot this underground garage a number of times during the day, but when I put them up on the monitor they are MEH! Those shots were taken during the day.
I passed by in the early evening, looked a bit different so I shot it again with several metering points, picked 2 out about 30 hots . . . added a little Lightroom to help me interpret the scene, and this is what I got.
Funny how over time or in different conditions scenes you have walked past or photographed unsuccessfully in the past, suddenly pop-up in a new configuration .
I'm pretty sure there's something Jungian re my fascination about scenes like this . . . 🤔
A classic photograph on the North Coast 500 in the Scottish Highlands. This picture was taken on the A837 near Loch Assynt on the way to Lochinver.
As is often the case, he has a better handle on situations than I do. The camera was put away and much fun followed. We slid down some hills. Had a warm breakfast. Walked around. Filled in the fire-pit. Explored a snow cave. Breathed the fresh mountain air. Packed up our camping gear. And were home by afternoon.
Our first outdoor trip of 2013. Hopefully there will be many more. If only I could get him to like hiking uphill as much as I do! (proof again that he has more common sense than me)
"Now the time has come
The music's between us
Though the night seems young
Is at an end
Only change will bring
You out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life..."
"You can reach the Sunrise"

I already have 5 photos of this type of car which is a real French classic. This one is built in 1971 and put on lisence on 30/06/1971. Almost 50 years on the road. Here parked in Amstelveen.
Citroën DS
The Citroën DS is an automobile which was manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975. Styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre, the DS was known for its aerodynamic futuristic body design and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.
The DS advanced achievable standards in automobile ride quality, handling, and braking. Citroën sold nearly 1.5 million D-series during the model's 20-year production run. The DS came in third in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, recognizing the world's most influential auto designs, and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine.
After 18 years of secret development as the successor to the Traction Avant, the DS 19 was introduced on 5 October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken, and orders for the first day totalled 12,000.
The DS was sold in the United States from 1956 to 1972, over which time 38,000 units were sold. While the DS was popular in Europe, it didn't sell well in the United States.

I met up with a fellow Flickr contact and friend Samuel this past Friday. A pleasant and talented man who is courageously heading across country to start a new life out in Nevada. I'm afraid I put him through something of a grueling trek up and over one of the hogbacks to the west of Denver.....something that can be a challenge for anyone who's been living 6000 ft. lower in altitude for several years......but he took it like a trooper.
Good luck Samuel with your new endeavors and the life that is before you.

I visited Peterhead Fishing Harbour Sunday 24th February 2019, a heavy Haar put my plans to capture the views a little difficult, hence I revisited today Tuesday 26th February 2019, posting a few of the captures I managed to take over both days.
Peterhead ; Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Phàdraig, Scots: Peterheid is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is Aberdeenshire's biggest settlement (the city of Aberdeen itself not being a part of the district), with a population of 18,537 at the 2011 Census.
Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as "The Bloo Toon") and people who were born there as Blue Touners (locally spelt as "Bloo Tooners").
More correctly they are called blue mogginers (locally spelt as "Bloomogganners"), supposedly from the blue worsted moggins or stockings that the fishermen originally wore.
History
Peterhead was founded by fishermen and was developed as a planned settlement. In 1593 the construction of Peterhead's first harbour, Port Henry, encouraged the growth of Peterhead as a fishing port and established a base for trade.
Peterhead was a Jacobite supporting town in the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. In particular, it was one of the Episcopalian north-eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment, were periodically landed from France during the Forty-Five.
A lifeboat station was first established in 1865.
Since early times Peterhead has received a portion of its water supply from Morris Wells.
Peterhead convict prison was opened in 1888, gaining a reputation as one of Scotland's toughest prisons.
The present harbour has two massive breakwaters, enclosing an area of approximately 300 acres in Peterhead bay. The south breakwater, about 2700 ft long, was constructed in 1892–1912 using convict labour from the prison. The north breakwater, constructed 1912–56, is approximately 1500 ft long.
A new phase of growth was initiated in the 1970s with Peterhead becoming a major oil industry service centre, and the completion of the nearby St Fergus gas terminal. At this time, considerable land holdings were allocated for industrial development.
In recent times, the town has suffered from several high-profile company closures and is facing a number of pressures, including Common Fisheries Policy reforms. However, it retains a relatively diverse economy, including food processing, textiles, service industries and, still importantly, fishing. (Over 90,000 tonnes of fish, with a value of around £60m are now landed at Peterhead, which is still also base to over 550 fishermen.)
The Peterhead Port Authority plans to extend the northern breakwater as a stimulus to the town's economic development. In addition, to assist with business diversification and town centre environmental improvements, the 'Peterhead Project' initiative under the Aberdeenshire Towns Partnership brings together the Council, Scottish Enterprise Grampian, Communities Scotland, commerce and community representatives.
Until April 2005, the Royal Air Force station RAF Buchan was located near the town.
Local government : Peterhead is the largest settlement in Buchan, a committee area of Aberdeenshire.
The town was a burgh in the historic county of Aberdeenshire. In 1930 it became a small burgh under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929, but in 1975 small burghs were abolished and Peterhead became part of the district of Banff and Buchan within the new Grampian Region. When districts and regions were abolished in 1996, Peterhead became part of the new unitary authority of Aberdeenshire.
Since 1975 Peterhead has had a community council, with limited powers.
Education : Peterhead Academy
Peterhead Academy houses around 1,300 pupils and the school is split into six houses (Arbuthnot, Buchan, Craigewan, Grange, Marischal and Slains), with all the names associated with areas of the town. The school has pupils coming from surrounding villages such as Boddam, Cruden Bay, Hatton, Inverugie, Rora, St Fergus and Crimond. The academy's motto is "Domus Super Petram Aedificata" (A House Built on a Rock). The academy is Scotland's largest school at over 22,920 square metres (246,700 sq ft) of gross internal floor area.
The school has multiple subjects such as ICT, English, French/German, Technical, Engineering, Art, Home Economics, and many more.
Primary and specialist schools.
Peterhead has six primary schools (Clerkhill, Buchanhaven, Meethill, Dales Park, Central, Burnhaven).
There is one special school, Anna Ritchie, which caters for most specific learning difficulties, autism and other disabilities.
There is also Peterhead Alpha School which caters for children with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties, as well as learning difficulties, e.g. dyspraxia and dyslexia.
Transport :Peterhead has a number of in-town and out-of-town bus services.
Peterhead is further from a railway station (32 miles from Aberdeen) than any other town of its size in Great Britain.
The town once had two stations Peterhead railway station and Peterhead Docks railway station. Passenger trains on the Formartine and Buchan Railway stopped in 1965 under the Beeching Axe, and freight in 1970. The start of reconstruction of the Borders Railway to Galashiels (early 2013) has begun a local political debate into the possibility of reopening the line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh and Peterhead.
The nearest airport with scheduled services is Aberdeen Airport. A heliport has been set up at the Eastern end of the former RAF Buchan air base. Recreational aviation also takes place from a part of a former runway.
Tourism
The harbours, maritime and built heritage are the town's principal tourism assets. Recent initiatives include investments in the Peterhead Bay area, which have included the berthing of cruise ships in the harbour.
A number of projects are planned under the auspices of the Peterhead Project initiative, including tourism strategy development, enhancement of existing attractions, measures to improve the town's physical attractiveness, and improved marketing and promotion.
Sport
Peterhead F.C. are a Scottish Football League club who play in the League One. They won the League Two championship in 2013–14.
Peterhead also has a successful amateur boxing club, and in 2008 was the most successful boxing club in Northern Scotland. And currently has two reigning Scottish champions. The boxing gym is open to all and located in Ellis Street.
Peterhead RFC are a Scottish Rugby Union team who play at the Lord Catto playing fields.
Maritime Economy
Peterhead has a thriving port, serving the fishing, oil and gas and other commercial industries. It also receives many visiting seafarers arriving on ships that ply these trades. Seafarers' welfare organisation Apostleship of the Sea has a port chaplain at Peterhead to provide pastoral and practical support to them.

Put on your thinking caps. Can you come up with a creative caption for this photo? How often do you see a pigeon with a hangover perched upon an astounded gargoyle?
Cold feet
If I shut my eyes, I can imagine myself in Paris
What's that dripping down my left ear?

I put a drinking glass into a small water-filled aquarium. Then, with a syringe, I let some drops of light blue ink fall into the water, right above the drinking glass. It diffused slowly, creating all these delicate shapes.
It gave me a hard time to take some photos in the right time and angles, because, as usual, I had not prepared the tripod and everything thoroughly...
and I didn't have enough light, so there's too much noise in the picture.
I'd be glad to see what someone else could achieve with this recipe!
If I put on these glasses, will I see through your eyes?
Feel the wonder you felt when you watched summer skies
Change to shades of sweet purple, and, amber, and, blue?
When I look in the mirror, will I see me, or, you?
There’s a magique I feel when hand touches this frame
Can’t be captured, recorded, or, given a name
And, the sadness I feel, could it be the same
As the sadness you felt when your little one passed
Will I feel the frustration as you tried to grasp
The meaning of all as the shadow was cast
And life changed forever, and, the pain will it last
Or melt into nothingness, empty and cold
When I look through these glasses will my heart grow old
See the lines on your face, a sad story told
Will I see me through your eyes?
The glasses, and the watch, belonged to the man in the photos, my great grandfather Hoffman. My grandmother's dad. Born in the 1870's, he was still alive in my childhood, and I knew him as "Pappy". His dad was born in 1822, and served in the U.S. Civil War. By all accounts, Pappy was a peaceful, religious man. I often feel a connexion to him, and through him, to my great-great grandfather. He had three daughters, and a son. The youngest daughter died age 10, during the Spanish Influenza epidemic of the early 20th century. She was sick one morning, and didn't go to school. Three days later, she was dead. The loss was very hard for the family. My grandmother often spoke of her sister.
Color Splash: The Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida. The vast majority of my photos are taken in the wild. This photo, however, was taken at the zoo.
To put it simply: Hannah came to town, I made her laugh.
I may have also let her punch me.
And convinced her to move to Los Angeles.
And talked up my favorite Mexican restaurant, maybe even saying it was better than the food she'd had in Mexico.
I also made a few jokes about the dudes hanging around the park in their rusty old vans.
I also showed her the river, soothed a savage hobo with my whistling and held her hand.
Oh so many ways to make the ladies smile.
Barbie is so cute! I wish her outfit would be a little more realistic. It seems so out of plce with all the realistic outfits on the rest of the girls. Maybe some cute white pants instead of that skirt? Still like the dress though. She had some pretty bad box hair, but it was easy to fix.
They put money in shoes and dance with cakes. This is part of the Hutsul wedding tradition. It is celebrated near the house, dressed according to rituals. We show what a Hutsul wedding from the documentary film "Notes about Hutsuls" is like.

Sometimes, you get lucky, and they put on a show. Humpbacks, according to the tour guide on the boat, are among the most sociable and demonstrative whales in the ocean. Being around them is an amazing feeling. Hard to describe why, really.
If you're ever on the Rock, check out "O'Brien's Whale Tours" based in Bay Bulls. They did a great job.
Put this up just to show you dont always have to shoot at dawn or dusk, this was captured middle of the day on last years trip to WA.
I liked the contrast thrown onto the rock.
It is an awesome spot...
Enjoy.
PS. Man i cant believe how much Flickr changes the colours when you upload..Bizarre sometimes,, still i think it looks ok...
Commandeered by the cruel and ruthless captain Bono, this traditional Ninjago-style djunk had seen many a battle at sea. Sailors shuddered in fear when the orange sails came into view, and often jumped ship right away, for mercy was only seldom to be had. The two skeleton dragons at the bow of the „Misfortune’s Keep“ could set any ship ablaze in seconds if surrender wasn’t offered to Captain Bono and his pirates. When Brixton started trading with Ninjago 150 years ago, he found the Brixton fleet to be easy prey. King Kirk of Brixton was furious, obviously, and sent the third fleet of his royal armada out to capture or kill the Captain and destroy his ship. Captain Bono had never seen anything like the monstrous dreadnoughts. When Admiral Beaufort Bell graciously presented the pirate with the options of a trial before his Majesty’s court or of being put out on a solitary island, Bono chose the latter. Both options meant certain death, but he wanted to spare himself the shame of bowing to a foreign king. The „Misfortune’s Keep“ was subsequently blown to pieces, while Captain Bono watching the scene in horror.
But that was a long time ago when shipping was still mainly done at sea.
When Nadakhan roamed around Ninjago looking for a crew for his own pirating, he found the bleached skeleton of Bono. On a rock nearby he had written his last three wishes in his own blood before he died.
1. I want my ship!
2. I want my crew!
3. I want revenge!
Although Nadakhan was not sentimental, necessarily, he thought it to be a nice touch to add the ghost and soul of the infamous Captain to his crew. And so he revived the skeleton with a touch of his djinn blade, offered him to rebuild the „Misfortune’s Keep“ and promised him final revenge on the Brixton crown.
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

So today Brad was asking when do you put down the books and stop buying gear and just go shoot. I replied, everyday now that I am doing this 366 project. Some people say a project like this isn't good for your photography, since most of the time you are rushed to get your shot for the day.
Take this shot for example. Nothing special really. But it is a style of photo I have never taken. So even though I might have been rushed, I learned a lot doing this. Shot with my 50, f/1.8, 1/10sec exposure. Speedlight set manually to 1/64 power, with built in diffuser.
Random Fact: It was cold out. So cold that you can even see a little bit of snot on my nose...HA!
Told ya it was SOOC ;-)
'Ava put on her raincoat and went out for the day,
She had a little toy boat in the puddles she would play,
The rain quickly turned red as teeth tore her skin,
Little Ava now undead her fate such a sin. '
Introducing Ava, a 'Living Dead Doll' and a Christmas present from steiner. This little bundle of creepiness will no doubt be popping up on my photostream now and again, so I thought I may as well introduce her here, and test my new slave flash. ;-)
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who have taken the time to comment and fave my random acts of photography over the past year. It's been an incredible 12 months of exploring the most amazing places and meeting the most incredible people. The support I've received this year from you all has truly blown me away! Merry Chrismas to you all, and wishing you all a very happy New Year! :-) x

This image was put together after reading the lyrics to the lullaby 'hush little baby'. It is such a strange, sad tale and I really wanted to try to put it into a visual context.
Any critique is greatly appreciated!
Thanks as always to Renee at playing with brushes for the textures
HUSH LITTLE BABY: LULLABY
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
Thanks for bringing this into EXPLORE - while I was away... - and of course, out again! But it did put a smile on my face hearing about it!

This mosaic holds some of my faves - favorites by some of my most appreciated photographers.
I have already now realized that I have forgotten, resp. overlooked when uploading these two mosaics some of my very appreciated contacts… I hang my head in shame but am too tired to re-start. I shall make sure that I won't forget them the next time!
THANK YOU so much for making me a happy, addicted and slowly improving flickerite!
If you are NOT amongst them, don't feel bad - This mosaic only holds 36 pictures, my heart is MUCH bigger!

(1950) (N90814) Put your nice white luggage on that filthy tarmac. Looks like a TWA publicity shot. Here's an interesting story about this particular aircraft. On 10 March 1947, TWA NC90814, Star of Hollywood, left New York City at 1353 GMT en route to Geneva, Switzerland with planned stops at Gander, Azores, and Paris. The aircraft landed in Gander at 2058 and picked up three additional passengers, making the total passengers 20 with 10 crew. The aircraft departed Gander at 2213.
The flight was normal until about 0030 on 11 March. The aircraft was flying at 19000 ft when the Navigator, George Hart, of Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, was lost overboard through the astrodome. The weather at the time was clear with no turbulence, and the cabin was pressurized to 8000 ft., which meant the cabin was not pressurized to the maximum. A loud noise like an explosion was heard throughout the aircraft just before a rush of air passed through the vessel. Due to the cold air rushing in, a vapor formed in the aircraft, and the force of the air blew the doors to the galley open, knocking over the stewardess and flight purser. The doors to the navigator's compartment were ripped from their hinges and thrown inside the compartment. Even with all of this happening, Lockheed officials stated that the passengers "hardly knew anything had happened until the plane landed at Gander."
