Celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Great Western Railway took place throughout 1985. A major event was SLOA's 'Great Western Limited', scheduled for steam haulage between Bristol Temple Meads and Plymouth, outward on 7th April, and returning on 8th April. The outward run was a disaster, with 'King' No. 6000 'King George V' failing at Taunton, and then 'manor' No. 7819 'Hinton Manor' at Exeter St Davids. A pair of Class 37s eventually got the charter to Plymouth. There then followed a fantastic example of 'can-do' within the railway fraternity. The Severn Valley Railway's 'Hall' No. 4930 'Hagley Hall' was hurriedly made ready at Bridgnorth for an overnight light engine working to Plymouth, picking up a repaired stalemate 'Hinton Manor' at Exeter on the way. Then, next morning, the pair headed the return working, 1Z47 0946 Plymouth North Road - Bristol Temple Meads, throughout, and are seen working alongside the River Teign and Bishopsteignton.

Bluesman in pink face and competitive 80’s commercial gear ready to make a name for himself. Just as long as they don’t see his left arm. For his left arm tells the truth about all that went into it. Selling his soul like robert johnson did. Getting those bright eighties colors to sheathe his instrument like he was george benson selling out on broadway. And charlie patton is watching in heaven still suffering from the blows of his woman.
Continuing on the adventure in the Canadian Rockies, it cannot be understated the grandeur of nature there. Having been and living in the southern aspect of the mountain chain, it's more dramatic and majestic (and colder). I was pleased on the ability of the M5 and WATE along with the Ultra in Rodinal then Xtol to be able to capture alot of the tonality of the area, particularly since I used a yellow filter (for the most part) for some contrast. I was fortunate to be able to hike to many places where the density of people was less and the ability to capture was more; some absolutely stunning views. I need to come back to do some large(r) format stuff here - an amazing place. I thank those flickeranians who continue to inspire - it's you who help the rest of us look to observe, and not just see.

The orchids, and especially the mediterranean ones, are a curious and very interesting group of plants. Does the name come from the greek όρχις that means "testicles" since many of the species they possess two tubers that liken enough that part of the anatomy.
It used to be said of the orchids that are to the vegetable Kingdom that that the man to the animal Kingdom. Saving the comparisons, the sentence makes reference to that evolved, specialized and extended of this group. There are orchids in all the ecosystems of the planet, lacking alone in the deserts and in the poles. What has given a quantity of enormous species, between 20.000 and 40.000 different species, and growing (according to who you read).
Here in the Delta of the Llobregat there is around a thirty of species.
Of the most attractive adaptations in the orchids it is their seed. For the dispersion they have opted to reduce to the minimum expression the seed eliminating of her the nutritious reservations, in such a way that the "sheath" of an orchid contains thousands or even millions of minuscule seeds that you/they go from some few millimeters to microns. To be able to germinate, the seeds associate with diverse types of mushrooms that contribute them the necessary nutrients during the growth and good part of their mature life forming micorrizas colonies (mico: mushroom, riza: root). This is one of the main reasons for which artificial reproduction of these plants is so complicated. When being carried out the germination in the face of the absence of the mushrooms that you/they form the micorriza and to lack the seed of nutritious reservations their germination it must be necessarily carried out on a broth of artificial nutritious cultivation and carried out under conditions of maximum sterilization.
In these latitudes, the orchids begin to sprout with the first rains that you/they close the summer and toward the months of January February they begin to flourish. According to the species, the floración extends until final of June. With the arrival of the heat, the plant dries off and it disappears being only the bulb buried to tolerate the heat of the summer.
I thought I would dust off the d40..it's been a while since I used it. Today time is moved forward because of daylight savings. Daylight saving time to me means I can start playing basketball afterwork. Hope everyone has a good day.

so yeah, this happened.
(L-R) Blue Knight, Êvø, Crimson Cloak, Saraswato, Volcano Girl
Blue Knight - Born from the same dimension as Fair'i, Glaiveslöw escaped along with his family, he chose to become the next generation of the blue Knight to help those that are in need of saving. He has no powers, but wears armor that deflects magic, and carries two blades that are able to penetrate steel. He is a noble but respectful person who looks out for anyone in need.
Êvø - growing up, Êvø was often bullied for being the daughter of an alleged cultist. It was all the same until she turned 8, in which she discovered that she was able to transport into a dark demonic dimension, she accidentally released some into the school yard after being aggressively bullied. She was able to bring it back, but it massacred 50 people. She didn't know what to do, so she ran away. She didn't know what to do. Until she met The Symbol, he told her his origin on how he got his power and told her that she's not a monster, she saved people, and asked her to join The Warriors, encouraged by him, she joined. Her powers are of being able to open and teleport to the dark dimension, and is able to create a type of acidic energy that eats up any creature or human it immediately goes into contact with. She is a shy girl, but looks up to the Symbol.
Crimson Cloak - you know who he is.
Saraswato - Raj was originally from a rural village, at age 7, he was accepted by Avalon industries for being a shockingly impressive intellect. he then at age 13 was able to create an armor that was technologically advanced ahead of it's time. He has no powers. he has an adaptive mind and is one of the smartest people currently. His armor is able to shoot energy bolts, hack into systems at the touch of a hand, and teleport. He is a very smart person, he mostly spends time in his room trying to advance his armor even more. He is very good friends with M.A.X.
Volcano Girl - hopefully you know who this is. if not, flic.kr/p/WCvsQb
my photo teacher wanted me to reshoot and include some more black makeup... so I did.
I dunno which one I like better, but I do know I'm going to run out of mascara soon.

Saving the best for last - Smith's had a number of AEC Reliance coaches in the fleet across the 80s and 90s, but this Plaxton Derwent was the only service bus, and it had only just joined the fleet, so we weren't even expecting it to be there. Although new to Hutchison of Overtown, it came here from Gilbert Kinch of Mountsorrel. It stayed for three years, but sadly it then went for scrap.
And that was it - even Bill had to admit we couldn't see what we were doing by this stage ! Although I had filled six pages of my notebook so far, I didn't make one more note after this, as it was too dark to see anything on the way home. It was one of those "On reflection ...." trips, which I thought was a bit of a wasted effort on the day, but looks much better now - and with grateful thanks to the scanner and other editing tools, which turned some really dismal slides into something half decent to show.
Where next, I wonder .... ?

In short, the light and the clouds put a playful display, to simply … save the day.
More action from whimsical, edging out into the sea part of Sardinia - Simius..
An Extra on the set of Saving Mr. Banks has a little fun showing off his camera.
It was fascinating to watch scenes of a feature film being produced at Disneyland. I briefly saw Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, as well as Paul Giamatti and Emma Thompson which was cool. But what I enjoyed the most about watching the production was seeing protions of Disneyland transformed back to the early 1960s. And seeing all the Extras in their period clothing was awesome.
I do believe this guy's camera is from the 1970s, but close enough!
Ala is feeling so much better with the waters to cool her fires down. What the little smoking hot fire goddess dose not know that below the water is a Chaotic being of fire named Dresmorlin... As Ala's hot little body warms the waters it melts the ice that hold Dresmorlin at by and once free Ala would be power less to stop him for only the gods of ice could stop him.
Olean has a bunch of squirrel statues representing various things or people, so its nice to see that the squirrel here is being saved.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just fill in the well. Sure, the millstone makes a good cap but why are you saving a shallow well? Its all just a curiosity.
Another seagull, (look closely), saving the shot by photo-bombing it and casting the interesting shadow IG

Members of the St Ives RNLI lifeboat crew returning from a shout (I think the bosun could give Clint Eastwood a run for his money with that flinty eyed stare! Go to L for the full intimidation effect). The coastguard had called them out to find and bring home many small and large boats that had been stranded on the water of the bay by a huge, dense bank of sea fog that had rolled in at an astonishing rate (science fiction, end of the world, disaster movie kind of speed!). It blanketed not just the sea but St Ives itself, creating an eerie yet beautiful atmosphere as the light dropped dramatically and all sounds became muffled. It all happened so fast even the coastguard in the watchtower on the headland in St Ives were caught out.
As Jay and I stood leaning on the promenade wall, watching the amazing sight of the beach and people quickly disappearing from view, a man appeared next me with a squawking walkie talkie in hand, he looked very worried and was frantically peering into the increasingly dense fog. I could hear a voice from the walkie talkie repeatedly asking him what could he see – his exasperated and panicky response had me in stitches, "What can I see? What can I SEE? I'll tell you what I can see...F*CK ALL! That's what I can see!" From the conversation I had with him later it turned out he was the owner of one of the boat hire companies that hire out the small family sized inflatable dinghies to tourists; mum, dad and the kids usually...and he didn't know where any of them were.
What had started off as a novel and awesome natural event soon became very serious when the coastguard realised there were lots of boats out in the bay and along the coast with no idea of where they were or which direction was which. So the shout went out for the RNLI lifeboat volunteers and very quickly the main boat and the James Bond-like high speed inflatable were in the water and off in search of stranded boats. So worried were the coastguard that they requested the help of a large research vessel moored in the bay to up anchor and help them locate the boats with their radar. An hour later and the lifeboats returned, leading in a small flotilla of boats filled with very relieved looking tourists and boat crew.
Hats off to the brave and courageous men and women of all the lifeboats crews stationed around our coastline, volunteers all, who go out in some of the worst sea conditions imaginable, day or night, to rescue people.
Aye, I'm still around, and slowly getting back into flickr when I can and for as long as I can to catch up on viewing and commenting. Hope you're all well. :-)

The sim of Empress and Hierophant is stunningly beautiful in its simplicity. DIrt paths traverse the island while lightening storms crack overhead. You feel as if you really are in Ireland, with bleating sheep all around and craggy cliffs overlooking the ocean. One of my favorite places to wander and think.
(taken after meeting up here with some of our Clickish group to wind down our photo night together, they left me here to gather in the wet sheep!)
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way,
Baa! Baa! Baa!
We're little black sheep who've gone astray,
Baa-aa-aa!
Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree,
Damned from here to Eternity,
God ha' mercy on such as we,
Baa! Yah! Bah!
- Rudyard Kipling
