Picture Spring Day 8: the sparkle of spring
Today for the Picture Spring workshop, we prompted to capture the sparkle of water droplets. This is something I love to do, but I have never done it when it hasn't actually been wet outside. So I carried around a spray bottle all day, and I was actually disappointed with the quality of the drops.
Late in the day I tried this shot with seltzer and fruit. I've been going back and forth about using this one or my magnolia one for the assignment. Right now it's this one. I like the other a lot, but this is more "sparkly."
The Class 92's are a dual-voltage electric locomotive, which can run on 25 kV AC from overhead wires or 750 V DC from a third rail. They were designed specifically to operate services through the Channel Tunnel between Great Britain and France.
46 locomotives were built by a consortium of Brush Traction and ABB Traction between 1993 and 1996. 92028 was built in 1995 and was originally operated by SNCF as a CC 92000 and carried the name "Saint-Saëns", after Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns, who was born on the 9th October 1835 and who died on the 16th December 1921. He was a French composer, organist, conductor and pianist of the Romantic era.
Prior to the privatisation of British Rail, ownership of the class was split between Railfreight Distribution, European Passenger Services (later Eurostar UK) and SNCF. After privatisation the ownership of the Railfreight Distribution fleet was passed to the English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS, later DB Schenker/DB Cargo UK).
During 2000, Eurostar (UK) offered their seven members of the class (92020, 92021, 92032, 92040, and 92044–92046) for sale, as they were surplus to requirements following the cancellation of Nightstar services. However, no buyer could be found and they were decommissioned and stored at Crewe International electric depot.
In May 2014, Serco won the franchise to operate Caledonian Sleeper services for fifteen years from 2015, with GBRf was chosen to provide the traction as part of its franchise bid. In February 2015, 92033 was first to be released from Brush Traction after component refresh and subsequent repaint into a "Midnight Teal" livery. 92006/010/014/018/023/038 have also been painted into this livery, bringing the total number of locomotives now in "Midnight Teal" to seven. Three further locomotives (92020/028/043) were repainted into GBRf House livery, as seen here.
A little sign of life from me, it's been a while again. Hope everyone's fine out there! :)
This is one of 3 sneak peeks of Kasumi with her new Face up I did some time ago. It was the third try on her and definitely the best result I had for her since then, when you ask me. I totally love it and I'm much satisfied, what's definitely rare for me. XD *lol* My most favourite part of her is the lip blushing with the two-toned lip lines (white and brown colored). It was a kind of little experiment with the lip lines and I'm fully happy with how it came out. <333 *love*
I know she definitely looks much different than before, she looks much more naturally now with a tiny bit more colors. Also she got another style this time for this pictures for some reasons, but she's still herself and that's the main important thing for me. :)
Hope you'll like Kasumis new look, too! <333
Nothing like a steaming hot cup of tea in this winter evening...
Specially when you've just finished a rough and tough week of exams...!

***EXPLORED…highest position 483 on Friday, July 8, 2011
Located on the side of an unoccupied building at 25 Market Street, Brownsville, Pennsylvania. This Coca-Cola mural was redone in late 2019 by Pittsburgh artist Randi Stewart. It was fully funded and endorsed by the Coca Cola Company. The original mural dated to pre-1919.
I love this season. I love the smell after a warm rain shower when the sun is just peeking out from behind the clouds.
