Train Robbery on the Sumpter Valley Railroad
When planning a summer visit to Baker County in northeast Oregon, be sure to add the Sumpter Valley Railroad to your travel itinerary.

Running between McEwen and the historic mining town of Sumpter, and occasionally run into the Gold Rush Bandits, it’s a guarantee that the whole family will enjoy this relaxing trip back in time without having to leave the comfort of the present.
Plan ahead and ride during one of the train robbery reenactment weekends when the Gold Rush Bandits are in town.

Kleptoparasitism (literally, parasitism by theft) is a "skill" practiced by both Willets and Sanderlings, with the target usually being other shorebirds or ones of their own species. Though we observed Sanderlings chasing Willets much more often than the reverse, this Willet clearly decided it was payback time :)
I had to buy gasoline today (petrol for my European friends).
Due to unstable political situations elsewhere in the world the price of gas in North Bay was $1.28.8 per liter this morning. Those not familiar with metric volumes, that is about $5.87 a Canadian gallon or about $5.15 for an American gallon.
Today I spent $60.00 and received 46.587 liters or just over 10 Canadian gallons.
Now, I am a capitalist and I strongly support the cause and effect of "fair" market forces and the role honest markets and competition play in an economy and on various commodities.... So in a fair and honest market, the price of goods should be supported and reflective of various forces including supply and demand on one hand, and competition within the marketplace on the other.
Where I live, all of the gasoline stations seem to display the same price per litre and any price fluctuation seems to happen (both up and down) at pretty much the same time. Is that a sign of true competition? Or are other factors at play?
Now lets be fair to the gasoline industry and not give it all to them on the chin. Let's realize that 13% (or $6.90) of what I paid was HST (so as a sales tax, as the price goes up, the Federal & Provincial Treasuries WIN!!!), plus another $.10/lite is a Federal Excise Tax and $.14.7/litre Provincial Road Tax, translates that the actual price is only a bargin rate of $0.89.3/litter. What a deal!
Anyways, energy is such an important issue. It affects the price of everything. As one person is there anything I can do?
Okay, I'll hop off my soap box now......

Long exposure shot of Andy as he relaxes by his basement door where two robbers passed through in broad daylight and stole his Sony Mavica. It was later recovered.
Strobist:
Shutter: 25
Aperture f/2.8
ISO: 1250
Taken at 11:30 at night. Propped a 36" reflector up against the tripod to reflect moonlight / ambient light at least onto the face. Used a remote trigger coupled with the 3 second delay so I could click the button and get into position. It was very dark on this side of the house.
I admit, this is a self portrait. I had more reservations about photographing myself and how I appear than I did about telling my story of being robbed.

The Carte de Visite

The Great Train Robbery
The Great Train Robbery took place just outside Leighton Buzzard.
The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of £2.6 million from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London on the West Coast Main Line in the early hours of the 8th. August 1963, at Bridego Railway Bridge.
After tampering with the lineside signals to bring the train to a halt, a gang of 15, led by Bruce Reynolds, attacked the train. Other gang members included Gordon Goody, Buster Edwards, Charlie Wilson, Roy James, John Daly, Jimmy White, Ronnie Biggs, Tommy Wisbey, Jim Hussey, Bob Welch and Roger Cordrey, as well as three men known only as numbers "1", "2" and "3", two of whom later turned out to be Harry Smith and Danny Pembroke. A 16th. man, an unnamed retired train driver, was also present.
With careful planning based on inside information from an individual known as "The Ulsterman", named (erroneously) as Patrick McKenna in 2014, the robbers escaped with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £56 million today). The bulk of the stolen money was never recovered.
Though the gang did not use any firearms, Jack Mills, the train driver, was beaten over the head with a metal bar. Mills was so severely injured that he never worked again. After the robbery, the gang hid at Leatherslade Farm.
After the police found this hideout, incriminating evidence led to the eventual arrest and conviction of most of the gang. The ringleaders were sentenced to thirty years in jail.
Leighton Buzzard station was the location for part of the film Robbery, which is based on the Great Train Robbery. The 1967 film starred Stanley Baker and James Booth.

Today I wanted to explore the lights, bokeh and macro mode in a controlled environment.
So I used a large aperture, f-stop 5.6, macro lens, 2 lights directed towards the back characters.
So the Peppa Pig characters are robbing me apparently, while George is rolling in the coins. You dirty pig.

Old Hall street jewel robbery 1956 Fog would combine with smoke to be known as ‘smog,’ a vile vapour that covered everything with a black film.
The housewife particularly hated smog because it brought about a mammoth cleaning task.
The beginning of 1956 saw a blanket of smog covering the town for two days. A thick ‘peasouper’, as it was known, descended on the town causing chaos.
Traffic in and out of town was reduced to a crawl.
Bus conductors were forced to walk in front of their vehicles as drivers struggled to maintain services.
Visibility was down to three yards; motorist who did not follow ‘nose to tail’ found themselves on the wrong side of the road.
People with respiratory problems were advised to stay indoors.
Police at Middleton went about their duties wearing specially designed smog masks while members of the public pressed handkerchiefs, scarves and wads of cotton to their mouths to avoid breathing in undiluted fog.
At Old Hall Street a group of thieves took advantage of the severe weather conditions.
Under the cover of the thick smog and darkness, they removed the roof slates to gain entry into a jewellers shop.
On the roof they neatly stacked the slates in piles. Once inside they were not so considerate, for they stole a large quantity of ladies and gents wristwatches, pocket watches and alarm clocks and imitation jewellery.
A neighbour who noticed the neatly stacked slates and informed the police spotted the break-in.
