An unusual sight of a Class 91 leading south end first on the ECML, rather then the DVT leading, was seen on the 22nd of May 2020. The reason why??
Here LNER Class 91/1 No.91119 wearing its Intercity swallow, is seen between Potters Bar & Brookmans Park, in charge of the 12:00 1E14 service from Edinburgh Waverley to London’s Kings Cross.

Sandwiched between VT506 and the IC DVT is six wheeled heating van 105 with its generator running to supply power to the driving coach and single coach which have come up the branch from Dagebüll Mole to Niebüll. With the passengers from the DMU deposited at the branch station the DMU will now run onto the main line and reverse the IC stock and its passengers onto the rear of IC2311 09:23 Westerland (Sylt) to Hamburg Hbf. Apparently this once common practise of moving stock in this way is now just practiced here at Niebüll. Great to watch and very pleasing to get the six wheeler, IC liveried van. Any info on what the vans purpose in a former life would be greatfully received.
Etihad A380 has just been towed from the International Terminal at Sydney Airport and is seen being pushed back out of the way on a very hot Sydney morning.

"France, 17 July 1915
Dear brother,
I have received your letter with joy, but have to let you know that our dear father has now died as well on June 18 at 3 p.m. Here I also send you an old photo from Antwerp. I have written to Gustav today as well. Otherwise everything is still fine.
Best regards to you and your bride,
Heinrich"
Men of Festung-Eisenbahn-Bau-Kompagnie Nr.5 in South Antwerp. Most of these fellows are armed with Gew 88 rifles fitted with Model 1865/71 Pionierfaschinenmesser bayonets. Notice the fellow in the centre of the group appears to have sharpened his bayonet; an uncommon practice as bayonets were purposely designed to have a dull edge.
Divided reverse. Brief letter generously translated by Nettenshcieder, the author erroneously tells a loved one he saw the aircraft depicted above brought down by Rittmeister Richthofen near his lines.

FINALLY finished my Reverse Flash. The majority of the time I spent was actually trying to make the black lenses look coherent when the cowl was removed. It DID NOT work, and I'm considering removing them

From the four mile trail looking west, you can see the reverse of the classic Tunnel View. On the right is El Cap, and Cathedral Rocks to the left
A snowy forest is not a complicated place. That is one of the reasons I like them so much. You have to learn to revel in the little things whilst in them. The crunch of the snow under foot, the cloud of vapor that is each exhalation, the almost reverse parabolic droop of snow-heavy branches, the forlorn sound of a cold wind that has not touched another human ear for miles. One doesn't venture into forests like this hoping to find things, but rather to lose them.
...except the camera-body ;)
A reversely mounted old M42 35mm snugs perfectly in macro extension tubes and is fixed by some gaffa tape.
The upper right image shows a macro taken with only this lens.
An additional 3X Panagor teleconverter (<20€@eBay) gives me about 5:1 magnificaton (upper left and comments).
Sensor width of the D90: 23.6mm, about 4.5mm fit in the image.
A modded 12V lamp gives the light, a ping-pong ball could act as a diffusor.

Reverse Dive Pike
This Adobe Photoshop Creation took me a couple of hours on the computer to create. I wanted something that could show the whole dive in one frame. Its a very graceful sport and I really wanted to capture it. Luckily I had an awesome athlete to photograph.
London Transport and its successors have always had an extreme aversion to reverse turns. Despite this, route G1 has one at Shaftesbury Estate in Battersea, as this was the only solution for turning the bus round.
Despite appearances to the contrary, the Shaftesbury Estate is a mid-Victorian housing project. You can see the backs of some of the houses behind the bus. The G1 passes through the estate to terminate just outside it.
The Reversing Falls are a series of rapids on the Saint John River located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where the river runs through a narrow gorge before emptying into the Bay of Fundy.
The semidiurnal tides of the bay force the flow of water to reverse against the prevailing current at this location when the tide is high, although in the spring freshet, this is frequently surpassed by the downstream volume of water. The rapids, or "falls", are created by a series of underwater ledges which roil the water in either direction, causing a significant navigation hazard, despite the depth of water. As a result, vessels wishing to enter or exit from the river must wait for slack tide.
The Reversing Falls has also been an important industrial site for over a century. The Canadian Pacific Railway constructed the Reversing Falls Railway Bridge in 1885 and this structure was replaced in 1922; it is currently used by the New Brunswick Southern Railway. The railway bridge crosses the gorge immediately downstream from the falls, parallel to the Reversing Falls Road Bridge.
The location of the falls was the site of a foundry and other light industrial operations on the east side of the gorge, while a large pulp mill on the west side. J.D. Irving, the company which has operated the pulp mill since purchasing it in the late 1940s, has encountered some criticism in recent decades for maintaining the facility at what is viewed as one of Saint John's prime tourism locations. This criticism became most pronounced during the 1980s and 1990s when the city government created Fallsview Park on the former industrial foundry lands on the east side of the gorge. The Falls were even given the dubious distinction by one publication as being among the worst tourist attractions in the world.
During the late 1990s a tourist business was established, offering jet boat rides on the river in the vicinity of the falls; however the boats do not operate in the roughest areas which experience a 3-metre (9.8 ft) drop in water level over a very short distance. The operators tend to stay in the choppy waters immediately downstream and attempt to soak passengers by driving through small whirlpools at the base of the railway bridge. Another more recent development at the Reversing Falls has been its growing use as a whitewater kayaking location, made unique by the changes in formation of the rapids during incoming or outgoing tides.

"You'll scramble your brains!" shouted Roger's mother. Resistance was unknown to Roger however when it came to riding the paint shaker at the Sherwin Williams store. Later in life he had to undergo reverse oscillation therapy to regain his equillibrium and complete his degree in applied kinetic sciences.
