loose cover made today for the sewing machine replacing the original fitted white plastic cover. when not in use the sewing machine sits on a table at the other end of the room opposite a comfy recliner and two seater. much nicer to see bold colour than white plastic :)
the original fitted white plastic cover that came with the machine is under this loose colourful cover www.sewingmachinesales.co.uk/sewingmachineparts/trolley-b...
i bought the new brightly coloured waxed cotton fabric a while ago from a charity shop for £2 loved the orange and bold shapes not knowing what i would do with it, until today :) thought it would make a fun cover
now onwards with the dressmaking ...

The market town of Saffron Walden sits in the Uttlesford district of Essex about 15 miles south of Cambridge.
The parish church of St Mary the Virgin dates mainly from the end of the 15th century, the church was struck and damaged by lightning in 1769, following this repairs carried out in the 1790s removed many medieval features. The 183 ft spire was added in 1832 to replace an older lantern tower.

Star trail, single exposure lasted 1 hour, which replaces two other photographs of mine taken in previous years in this exact spot.
For various reasons I think this one is better.
This is in fact the third time I take a star trail in this exact place! A fair dose of perseverance is important in these things :-)
By the way, you are looking to the otherworldly area below the Freney, southwest face of Mont Blanc massif, Italian side. One of the most geometric locations of the Alps, because of the harmonious relationship between peaks, stars (the Polaris is exactly above the Aiguille Noire) and Earth's rotation.
From left to right: Mont Blanc de Courmayeur, Aiguille Croux, Aiguille Blanche, Aiguille Noire, Mont Rouge de Peuterey.
Above: Polaris
Faint light from west: moon (33%) just set
Light from east: the area of Courmayeur, many km far away but present in the form of light pollution.
One of the main reasons that lead me to continue this photographic activity is the joy of discovery. Sometimes I deliberately prefer to plan less in order to don't lose the ability to be surprised by something different and unexpected.
I guess this is why I'm also starting to appreciate more and more the star trails... yes, for the "tale of the unexpected" within this photographic genre.
Of course, knowing the cardinal point I'm directing my camera I can easily predict the shape that the trails of stars will assume (due to the Earth's rotation)... also, I can carefully choose the focus, composition, white balance, estimate according to the conditions of non-light the various settings, yes I can do this - I have to - although in pitch dark is rather tricky... nevertheless, just ask any sincere photographer, the end result of a star trail is always an enigma. A most pleasant one! :-)
It's amazing, in fact, to note the amount of light & colour a camera manages to capture at night, in the dark, just continuing to "observe" for an hour, constantly and relentlessly, the spot we have carefully chosen!
Well, this is indeed something that our eyes could never do, our eyes can look only frame by frame, we are technically not able to make the sum of light in time.
So, what to say, except "thanks to the cameras for this!" :-) ... for the chance to discover new things and also for helping us to think in a not too anthropocentric way, reflecting on the fact that there is not only our human way to see. Actually the way we see is only one possible reading of the "reality", so, let's discover the others!

CHIPMUNK T.10 (G-BYHL) WG308 8
belonging to M R & I D Higgins.
with KC-135 STRATOTANKER behind it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four DHC-1Chipmunks commenced service with the Aircraft Squadron in 1957. They were replacements for the Tiger Moths and <Harvards which were being phased out. These Chipmunks, also affectionately known as "Chippies", served the Force until 1960, the year that saw the disbandment of MAAF (Singapore Wing)..
The Chipmunk was designed in Canada by Wsiewolod J. Jakimuik, previously Chief Designer for PZL in Poland. It was developed by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada as a military training aircraft to replace the legendry DH.82 Tiger Moth.
This trainer, is a low wing monoplane of all metal, stressed skin construction with the pilot and instructor seated in tandem under a single piece sliding canopy.
The prototype first flew on 22 May 1946 from de Havilland's factory at Downsview, Toronto. Although designed in Canada, the Chipmunk was built in large numbers in Great Britain for the RAF. The British products carried the mark number T.10.
The Chipmunk T.10 serves with the RAF and differs from the Canadian T.1 in that the T.10 was fully aerobatic from the outset. The T.10 also featured a multi-panel sliding canopy whilst most Canadian-built Chipmunks had a bubble canopy.

Mission
The KC-135 Stratotanker's principal mission is air refueling. This unique asset greatly enhances the Air Force's capability to accomplish its primary missions of Global Reach and Global Power. It also provides aerial refueling support to Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft as well as aircraft of allied nations. The KC-135 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations.
Features
Four turbofans, mounted under 35-degree swept wings, power the KC-135 to takeoffs at gross weights up to 322,500 pounds (146,285 kilograms). Nearly all internal fuel can be pumped through the flying boom, the KC-135's primary fuel transfer method. A special shuttlecock-shaped drogue, attached to and trailing behind the flying boom, may be used to refuel aircraft fitted with probes. Some aircraft have been configured with the Multipoint Refueling System or MPRS. MPRS configured aircraft are capable of refueling two receiver aircraft simultaneously from special “pods” mounted on the wingtips. One crewmember, known as the boom operator, is stationed in the rear of the plane and controls the boom during in-flight air refueling. A cargo deck above the refueling system can hold a mixed load of passengers and cargo. Depending on fuel storage configuration, the KC-135 can carry up to 83,000 pounds (37,648 kilograms) of cargo.
Background
Air Mobility Command manages more than 490 total aircraft inventory Stratotankers, of which the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard fly 271 of those in support of AMC's mission.
The Boeing Company's model 367-80 was the basic design for the commercial 707 passenger plane as well as the KC-135A Stratotanker. In 1954 the Air Force purchased the first 29 of its future 732-plane fleet. The first aircraft flew in August 1956 and the initial production Stratotanker was delivered to Castle Air Force Base, Calif., in June 1957. The last KC-135 was delivered to the Air Force in 1965.
Of the original KC-135A's, more than 410 have been modified with new CFM-56 engines produced by CFM-International. The re-engined tanker, designated either the KC-135R or KC-135T, can offload 50 percent more fuel, is 25 percent more fuel efficient, costs 25 percent less to operate and is 96 percent quieter than the KC-135A.
Under another modification program, 157 Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard tankers were re-engined with the TF-33-PW-102 engines. The re-engined tanker, designated the KC-135E, is 14 percent more fuel efficient than the KC-135A and can offload 20 percent more fuel.
Through the years, the KC-135 has been altered to do other jobs ranging from flying command post missions to reconnaissance. RC-135s are used for special reconnaissance and Air Force Materiel Command's NKC-135A's are flown in test programs. Air Combat Command operates the OC-135 as an observation platform in compliance with the Open Skies Treaty.
Over the next few years, the aircraft will undergo upgrades to expand its capabilities and improve its reliability. Among these are improved communications, navigation and surveillance equipment to meet future civil air traffic control needs.

RENFE: la locomotora eléctrica 269 914 en el depósito de Miranda de Ebro.
La subserie 900 estuvo formada por 20 locomotoras (269 901 a 920), procedentes de la transformación de otras tantas de la subserie 200. La reforma consistió en sustituir la transmisión bireductora para 100 y 160 km/h por otra monoreductora a 140 km/h. Fueron asignadas al remolque de trenes de viajeros de la Unidad de Negocio de Larga Distancia.
La 269 914 era la antigua 269 216, construida por MACOSA en 1981. Fue retirada del servicio en 2007 y desguazada en 2017.

RENFE: the electric locomotive 269 914 at the Miranda de Ebro depot.
The 900 subseries consisted of 20 locomotives (269 901 to 920), converted from the same number of subseries 200 locomotives. The refurbishment consisted of replacing the double-reducer transmission for speeds of 100 and 160 km/h with a single-reducer transmission for speeds of 140 km/h. They were assigned to haul passenger trains for the Long Distance Business Unit.
269 914 was the former 269 216, built by MACOSA in 1981. It was withdrawn from service in 2007 and scrapped in 2017.

Expired/Discontinued Kodak Professional T400 CN Film (Process C-41)/Canonet QL-17 G-III
Well friends, the Canonet QL-17 G-III I purchased as a gift for my sister came back from Camera Techs looking almost as good as new.
Chuck, the technician that worked on this camera did an amazing job. Whatever old foam was left on the camera had turned--with the years and lack of use-- into a black sticky tar that threatened with dislodging and spreading around the guts of the camera, lens, etc.
Prior to taking the Canonet in, I tried to remove as much of the gooey matter as possible with a paper towel wrapped index finger, loaded a roll and shot it to see how much light was leaking through. You can see the shots on this Canonet set (about 7 shots prior to this one). It was really bad.
In any case, this is the first roll shot post-repair. Tested at all speeds and apertures for the past two days (this photo was taken around 11am this morning, on my way to Matt's at the Market for lunch with friends) and developed about an hour ago at Rite-Aid in White Center. All photos, ALL 24 frames came out.
Tomorrow the camera will be sent--along with a brand new Domke Gripper strap I got at Glazer's and a rubberized hooded UV filter (found on eBay, to double up as lens protection)--to my sister all the way to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Before I send the camera to Giselle I'll take a photo of the foam job to share with fellow Canonet lovers and anyone here in Seattle who's been thinking of replacing the foam on a vintage camera such as this one. It is fantastic what skilled hands can do with great little cameras that have been abandoned and forgotten for years and deserve to be used and enjoyed.
Gissy, get ready. You are going to love your camera. ;D
This replaces an earlier posting: a Rock Island SW1 (537) heads an eastbound local over Santa Fe Ave. In a little more than three years I'd work for two months as a switchman out of Harter Yard, to which this crew is probably headed to tie up. We had two jobs that headed west out of Harter in the morning, went by here and past Union Station, and then worked industries to the west of downtown OKC. The "West Yard" headed into an area that contained spurs off of what must have been the Rock's original mainline through OKC, before Union Station was built in 1931. The "OK Rail" went further west and then switched into a spur that went north to NW39th Street, and then headed east along 39th to industries including a lumber yard. I never asked about the origin of the name "OK Rail", but it appears from what I can find that those tracks were along the remains of the Oklahoma Railway, an interurban that had a pretty extensive reach in central Oklahoma into the '30s. And that nifty little Nash "Rambler" was an attempt by the Kenosha (Wisconsin) based auto manufacturer to break into - or more likely to INVENT - the compact car market. I believe this is about a 1950-model, and like many other older cars down there it was in great shape - no road salt in use.
The Wawona Covered Bridge, crossing the waters of the south fork of the Merced river, in Yosemite National Park. Yes, I had to get wet to get this shot. But it was a hot day in late spring, and therefore welcome.
"The bridge was built by Galen Clark, the steward of what was then called the Yosemite Grant, in 1868, without its cladding. The bridge was a major component of Clark's proposed new road from Wawona to the Yosemite Valley. Clark was unable to complete the road, which he sold to the Washburn Group of investors along with the Wawona Hotel. The Washburn Group completed the road to the Yosemite Valley in 1879. It is one of twelve remaining covered bridges in California. The modified queen post truss was covered with Douglas fir cladding in 1878, enclosing the Ponderosa pine structure and its iron tie rods. The bridge served automobile traffic until 1937, when a new bridge was built about 200 metres (660 ft) to the southwest. The bridge was repaired by Civilian Conservation Corps labor the same year. In 1955 the bridge was damaged by flooding. Marked for replacement on account of the damage and its poor general condition, the bridge was instead reconstructed after National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint intervened in its favor. Work was funded as part of the Park Service's Mission 66 program, using the bridge as the centerpiece of an interpretive exhibit on the history of the Wawona area. The Pioneer Yosemite History Center was established nearby. The bridge was repaired, with damaged elements replaced in kind. Since 1957 the bridge has had a number of repairs and replacements as materials have deteriorated." [Wikipedia]

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
This is the original sky. It was not replaced. The light was wonderful on this autumn day. I used a ND filter on my lens.
At the time, I was wishing more of the foliage had turned color when we were there, but looking at this image now, I love how it looked. If you look closely you will see a little color mixed in with the blue mountains.
During wet weather, Glassmine falls plummet down the face of Horse Range Ridge. Mica was once mined near the falls and was referred to as glass by the locals, hence the name. I'm at the OVERLOOK, but my camera was pointed to the beautiful mountain's view (Black Mountain). I have other images of the OVERLOOK to the mica mine and waterfall area.

Sydney, Australia (Saturday 21 Jan 2017)
Public housing apartments in Northcote, Victoria. These rather interestingly designed apartments replaced some older ones which were quite run down. I think the new ones were built around 2010. The building on the right hand side of the picture is part of a fairly new privately developed complex. Taken at twilight hence the bluish effect.
Replaced after a few alterations.
Having spent as cold a bivouac as I can remember, a series of warming up exercises were necessary in order not to become totally ineffective at operating a camera. Star jumps, press ups, shadow boxing & other random rapid movements restored blood flow & saw off any pesky sheep intent on 'photo-bombing' Angle Tarn. Even the ravens were eyeing me suspiciously.
This flower is growing on a nothing plant in our garden, that most of the year is dull and uninteresting. However, every summer it puts out enough pretty (IMHO) flowers that we don't replace it.
Lighting: I placed it on a sheet of black Perspex, and lit it from the left side with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box. The flash, in manual mode, is triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
am assuming that this truck and the beat-up car on the trailer belong to the policeperson who is guiding traffic around a road resurfacing crew who are heating up the macadam, scraping it off, and will eventually replace it with a new surface. that at least explains the orange sign.

So, a week or so ago, under considerable protest, I got hoodwinked into replacing my cell phone. The recently departed ("...and may he rest in peace, dear Lord, for the years of unwavering service so selflessly given shall... etc... etc... etc...") was a Samsung S8... apparently I missed a few iterations in between. Thought I'd give the camera a whirl, you know, just to see what she had under the hood, as it were.
I thought that this had a similar style in composition as a dear friend of mine, one Monsieur J W Vraets and thus feel I should mention that the 'red rule' applied.
Ford Cortina Mk.IV 1.6GL (1976-79) Engine 1600cc S4
Registration Number SLM 279 R (London NW)
FORD (UK) ALBUM

The fourth-generation Cortina was a more conventional design than its predecessor, but this was largely appreciated by fleet buyers. Generally a rebody of the Mark III the Mk.IV was in essence a rebadged Ford Taunus.
The Mark IV went on sale in September 1976 with many parts carried over from the Mk.III most notably the running gear. The most obvious change was the new body, which achieved the marketing department objective of larger windows giving a better view out and a brighter feel to the cabin, but at the expense of body weight. This series spawned the first Ghia top-of-the-range model, which replaced the 2000E. The 2.3-litre Ford Cologne V6 engine was introduced in 1977 as an engine above the 2.0 L Pinto engine, already a staple of the Capri and Granada ranges. However, 2.3-litre Cortina's never sold particularly well in the UK. The Cologne V6 was certainly a much smoother and more refined power unit than the Pinto, but the V6 models were more expensive to fuel and insure and were only slightly faster, being about 0.5 seconds faster from 0–60 and having a top speed of about 109 mph compared to the 104 mph of the 2.0-litre models.
Through its five generations the Cortina would go on to regularly be Britain's best selling new motor car, giving rise to Cortina Man being used by political parties as an electioneering demographic

“I feel bad, I’ll replace your bow Goblin.”
“My name is Spilogalio, and I’ll get one at the garrison.”
“No! I insist. I know the locale bow crafter and his wares are far superior to what the garrison has.”
“Well if you insist, but it’s not necessary.”
“Oh Splio, we’re going to by best friends. I went to the Swale once. It’s beautiful but I love my Alkyrium. If it wasn’t for joining the Army of Leodysseus I would have never went anywhere…”
Tara noted that Spilogalio was tolerating Sindri Goldbeard, but just barely. The Commander and the Sheriff were talking to each other in low tones. She found it interesting that the knew that it was Sir Fulton in the grave because it was a human make.
Sindri was going to be an interesting addition to the group… Day 4002 Y11D349 pict2

Built in 1842 to replace an earlier one, the freestanding Town Hall stands at the southern end of the large sloping market place. The ground floor was once open and used for markets.
The stairs replace the street in the location of Mozart Street on the west side of Hermann, Missouri just below St. George Catholic Church, due to the steep hillside. The house, with multiple porches and a turret (and a pyramid roof outhouse on the west side) was built by local physician W.C. Wessel in 1917.
After WW2 KIM was replaced by a new formed brand Moskvich. In 1945 The Sovjets had taken away what was left from the machinery & pressing stamps at the Rüsselsheim plant (Hesse, Germany), and documents with drawings & calculations to produce the pre-war Opel Olympia and Kadett.
In 1946 the Moskvich 400 series was presented to replace the KIM series (which design on their term was based on the 1930s Olympia/Kadett).

Elle est une très grande gare lyonnaise avec l'axe Genève Lyon, puis l'axe P.L.M.. En 1981, elle accueille les premiers TGV mais la situation est inadaptée. La Gare de Lyon Part-Dieu remplace ce site.
It is a very large Lyon station with the Geneva Lyon axis, then the P.L.M. axis. In 1981, it welcomed the first TGVs but the situation was unsuitable. The Gare de Lyon Part-Dieu replaces this site.
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

A few changes at the Stagecoach Whithorn outstation since my last visit three years ago. The Volvo B7 Plaxton Profile's have gone replaced by three Volvo B9R Plaxton Elites for the School services. Here AE10 JTV backs into the depot after working a School contract.
Between PACK and TROBE stand four intermediate signals, all destined to fall this coming Sunday. The western two, 307 and 310, I've shot quite a bit since I got into the hobby. The two easternmost signals - 302 and 304, I've not quite shot so much. They're not easy signals to get to, requiring a good bit of walking for both.
But, since they'll be history after Sunday, I figured I would get my final shots of them today. The MP 302 signals stand just west of the crossing at Gray Station, and are Darth-Vader style signals, which replaced a PRR bridge around 2007. These are the approach signals to PACK going east.
NS 39Q with three SD60Es and a Dash 9 roll by these signals this afternoon. I'd imagine these particular signals will probably end up surviving, and not be scrapped, as it seems NS is trying to save their new model signals.
