Navajo Point, Grand Canyon, Arizona
An eastward moving thunderstorm climbs out of the canyon, scaling the Palisades of the Desert just north of Desert View.
A little trip today to Scale Force near Buttermere. With a single 170ft drop followed by a further two 20ft drops Scale Force is considered the highest Waterfall in the Lake District.
Wordsworth described it as ‘a fine chasm, with a lofty, though but slender, fall of water’.
Here's to a good school year! I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best for these kids. Our sky is still highly polluted from smoke, yesterday we had the worst air quality in the world again. The sunrise was red so I had to try to capture it quickly and then get the day going. New schedule, new school year, hold on tight.
That plateau on the foot of this waterfall just seemed to be destined to have my freind stand there and give some scale :)
Scale force waterfall has a drop of 120 feet been after this for a while now early start 2 hour drive half hour walk and a 2 minute slippy clime up a rock face and to be created by this beauty
One factor in what i call "true minifig scaling" is not to just keep the minifig height in mind, but also the fact that the original minifigs low hip joints might create the impressions of tires being "too large" for a vehicle. I also forget that fact myself sometimes, since i often place minifigs next to my vehicles. However, if you keep using the realistically proportioned "human fig" as a template next to your MOC, selecting the right tires/rims for your vehicles wont be any trouble.
Union Pacific's star attraction, Engine 4014, also known as "Big Boy" was heading back to his home town, Cheyenne, Wyoming last Sunday morning.
Emmy the Clipper was sitting by the tracks to greet him as he passed through Julesburg, Colorado. Big Boy whistled at her as he went by.
If you look closely, you can see the Engineer and Fireman are leaning out of the cab to get a look.
Careful planning was required to capture this one. Emmy's "mark" was figured out in mid June during a scouting run.
Ken did the math to figure out what our shutter speed was needed to be to stop a 1.2 million pound locomotive. He nailed it!
Emmy the Clipper is 1:1 scale and was built by Packard of Detroit
Big Boy is just 1:1 scale and was built by American Locomotive Company of Schenectady, NY

A line of hikers making the ascent. Also reminds me of the 'ants go marching...'
Bonus points if you see the two hikers descending.
Thanks for looking!

With the disused lines into Chatterley Valley opencast in the foreground 56105 rolls towards its destination at Pinnox Sidings near Longport with 6K38 from Crewe Basford Hall. Personally I wouldn't usually include a mast at the side of the line but with three blokes scaling it, thought it was too good to miss.
