Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
Let me explain this picture. As mentions above, I had to fine 2 new subjects. Last year’s photo of an elbow did not work for this year. Below is last year’s picture.
No matter how I cropped this photo and rotated it, the resulting kaleidoscopes were alsways offensive to me, and likely to you, the viewers. So in my brain I cooked up a more tasteful option: elbow macaroni. So I bent my rules a bit to get this picture past ya.
La hice en negro mate y nickel plated por encargo y hoy se la he dado a su dueña, le ha encantado. Y yo estoy contenta por ello.
Saludos

The picture is taken in the fortified church in Cisnădie (German: Heltau) in Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania located approximately 10 kilometres south of Sibiu. Originally built in the 12th century as a Romanesque basilica, the church was fortified during the 15th century, after the 1493 Turkish invasion, to protect the local population of Saxons against repeated Ottoman raids. Simultaneously to the fortification work the church itself suffered a gothicization process (see Wikipedia)
I took these with my iPhone at the beginning of the school year. As I was looking through my pics in my phone camera I saw them again. They made me think of how fast the (school) year goes... We're halfway done!!

The lure of Shap and its four miles of 1 in 75 gradient proved irresistible to huge numbers of photographers who flocked to its slopes especially during the 1960s at the end of steam on the west coast main line. A less frequently visted location was south of Shap where some magnificent Fell scenery was on display when looking northwards. Lambrigg crossing was situated 8 miles south of Tebay not far from the site of Grayrigg station which was closed in 1954 along with several other small stations in the vicinity.
This photograph, taken in the winter of 1959/60 shows the pride of Upperby shed, Princess Coronation pacific No 46238 City of Carlisle at the head of a southbound express sweeping down the 1 in 106 towards Hay Fell and Oxenholme. The line snakes back towards Grayrigg as the heavy 12 coach train is seen descending the gradient past the stately ex-LNWR lower quadrant signals which control traffic on the down side of the line. In the distance the magnificent Howgill Fells dominate the skyline and give notice of the stern test ahead for northbound trains once they have passed through the Lune Gorge and commenced the ascent of Shap.
The function of Lambrigg box was to service the crossing which gave access to the farms on the west side of the line and also to control trailing and facing crossovers positioned on this part of the line (hidden by the train). The trailing crossover had served a useful purpose for many years by enabling any failed banking engine to be crossed to the up road and returned to Oxenholme 4 miles south. The box itself was an early LNWR Saxby & Farmer type similar to the one at Scout Green and dating from the 1870s. Much of this foreground scene has long since gone. The box was closed on electrification and the crossing closed. The semaphore signals were lost even earlier and the handsome stone house has also been demolished (this building was once part of the original Grayrigg station which served from August 1848 – November 1849 before the new Grayrigg station was built two miles to the north).
The locomotive No 46238 was one of the 16 Princess Coronations to be given crimson livery by BR during 1958, which she retained to withdrawal in September 1964. Originally released to traffic from Crewe at the outbreak of World War II in mid-September 1939 (and officially stored for the first 10 days) City of Carlisle was allocated to Camden and spent her entire streamlined existence at the London shed before being ‘defrocked’ in early 1947 when she travelled north to take up residence in her home city at Carlisle Upperby. London and Carlisle then alternated ownership until 1952 when Carlisle finally took permanent control of the locomotive in May of that year. She became one of the few Princess Coronations to achieve over 1.6 million miles of recorded service, but she also became one of the unfortunate members of the class to be disfigured by the yellow cabside strip which banned operation under the electrified system of the west coast main line south of Crewe. Following withdrawal she travelled the short distance to Troon in Ayshire where she was broken up at the hands of Arnot Young, West of Scotland Shipbreaking Co. in December 1964.
A recently developed oldie from the original RAW.
I didn't even develop this at the time it was taken, but I liked it as I was browsing through my old archives. I have 2.5-tb of photo-files I have shot, mostly RAW, because I have saved every RAW file, like it or not, since 2000. Storage is cheap.

This image shows some faint star trails, but the original was so overexposed I had to do Photoshop gymnastics to make it look even moderately acceptable. As a result, there was a lot of noise and I was just about to put it in the "nice try" folder, when I noticed some faint dots that were definitely not stars in a horizontal line near the top of Coffee Pot. It turned out a satellite had crossed the field of view during the 1 hr 15 min exposure! I thought this was kind of cool and I've now warmed up to the image. The satellite is very hard to see unless you look at the image in the Original size by clicking on All Sizes above.
Here's a link to another version of the same scene, although without the fun of finding an intruder had flown in uninvited. I think it's a much "better" photograph by most measures, but to me this one is more charming. Check them both out and tell me what you think.
[Note: As Maxcap60 has pointed out below, there's another satellite in this image, in the lower right quadrant, below the much more visible one I caught. Thanks Maxcap!!]
...and, if you like star trails images, then here's yet another, taken in the Sierra Nevada.
